i might have to google it
the intercepted arc is 38 degrees right
so like arc formed by chord?
i think
am not sure
maybe we should google it
yeah
"what is measure of arc"
38 degrees
i mean google that
You can use that angle segment theorem that you talked about in another channel right
yep, but you will have to first extend the angle at centre to angle at circumference
using another theorem
Well a simpler solution is to notice that the triangle is isosceles, so the other 2 angles are 71. 71 + the desired angle = 90 because the radius and tangent lines form a 90 degree angle. So our answer is 19

nice!
oh, I don't know this 😛
ye me neither lol
it is like
that angle created by tangent line and chord
is half of the intercepted arc
oh that makes sense
Basically just generalizing this
yeaaa

Oh
oh wait
no we're both wrong
,w 33.110.52pi + pi10.5^2 + 4pi10.5^2/2
What about it?
that's in mm^3 btw
SA = 2πr^2+2πrh
= SA = 2π(10.5)^2+2π(10.5)(33.1)
= SA = 220.5π + 695.1π
= SA = 915.6 * 3.14 (π)
= SA = 2875
What did I do wrong?
@buoyant latch
Whats 2pi r^2
692.7
The bottom?
Yeah thats what I put
What shape is the bottom
What is the formula of the area of a circle
a = nr2
So why do you have 2pi r^2

the argument of complex number states that tan-1 (y/x)
if my question shows only 3i, how should i input it into the formula
since 0 real number will only result in math error if i sub it into x
Well think about what angle θ makes tan(θ) undefined
arg(i) is geometrically obvious
hm? i dont quite understand
you know the geometric meaning of arg(z) right?
not very, mind explaining?
quite new to this topic
oh is it this?
arg (z) = arg (x+iy) = tan-1(y/x)
arctan(y/x) only works as is in the first quadrant.
yes
arg(z) is the angle, measured CCW, from the positive real axis to the line joining z to the origin
(You might be interested in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2)
arg(i) is geometrically obvious
what's the angle between the positive real axis and the line from 0 to i?
90 ?

how has this got 5 answers
@languid hill Has your question been resolved?
It is generally a good idea to draw a graph to figure out how many solutions a trigonometric equation might have.
alr what do you do with the sin n tan though since theyre both different
The question can be put this way, how many times does the graph of tan(2x) and 5sin(2x) intersect.
And we also need to find the values in this case.
Usually with such questions, we want to create factors to solve such trig equations. This is what the question does by taking 5sin(2x) to the other side and creating factors.
alr ty
Your input seem right to me, or is it the solution itself ?
oh i found the answers online, its bcos i didnt round one to 1dp
Lmao

I confused the approach again, how can I get it right? 😭
The one-sided limits are equal though
Oh unless there's a modulus
What's the original function?
(x^2 + x - 6)/(2 - x), right?
As x approached 2 from the right, the the absolute values remain the same right? But the answer is the opposite
What function are we looking at?
The one sided right hand limit is -5 and the other one is 5
limit of (x^2+x-6)/(|x -2|) as x goes to 2
Then the limit doesn't exist, yeah
The left* hand limit is -5 and the other is 5 though
But my one sided limits, are opposite, I’m smh still taking the wrong approach
Yeah they're opposites because of the modulus
It's correct
(x^2 + x - 6)/(|x - 2|) can be rewritten as (x + 3) * (x - 2)/|x - 2|
or (x + 3)sgn(x - 2)
As x approaches 2 from the right, sgn(x - 2) = 1
So the limit is 5 there
And as x approaches 2 from the left, sgn(x - 2) = 1
So it's -5 from that side
Thus the limit at 2 doesn't really exist
Your answer is correct.
It’s wrong
How do you know?
Why it is wrong?
Wolfram alpha, the graph was the opposite way
It’s supposed to be -5 for left approaching, i got it as 5
Ah you're talking about just the graph?
And the other way around
I got it wrong directly from the limits part
You got 5 from the right and -5 from the left though, wdym
x -> 2^+ means approaching from the right and x -> 2^- means from the left
You got those values too 
The function can be simplified as -x - 3 when x < 3
So you shouldn't have it increasing overthere
I took the points wrong i guess
Ahh so the limits were correct
So I’m finally starting to think correctly about approaching limits
Noo I’m not
Ahhhh yess
I need a break
Sorry for confusing everyone 😭
Thankyou!

Let L = {f,p,q} be a language in which f is a unary function symbol and p and q are unary relation symbols. Let I be the interpretation for L defined by D^I = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; p^I = {0,3,7}; q^I = {7};
f^I(0) = 4; f^I(1) = 5; f^I(2)=2; f^I(3)=6; f^I(4)=7; f^I(5)=2; f^I(6)=7; f^I(7)=1.
Define a congruence relation ∼ on I that has four equivalence classes, justifying your answer. Describe the I/∼ quotient interpretation.
SOLUTION
We have to partition D^I into four sets. Observing p^I and q^I we note that 0 and 3 are the only elements that belong to the first and not to the second; they can therefore be congruent with each other, but not with the other elements of D^I. it is also evident that 7 cannot be congruent to any element other than itself. Now taking f^I into consideration we note that f^I(4) = f^I(6) = 7 and therefore these elements cannot be congruent with 1, 2 and 5, which are mapped together.
These observations lead us to conclude that the four congruence classes can only be {0, 3} {1, 2, 5}, {4, 6} and {7}.
Furthermore ∼ thus defined also verifies the condition concerning f, because f^I(0) ∼ f^I(3), f^I(1) ∼ f^I(2) ∼ f^I(5) and f^I (4) ∼ f^I(6).
You have then
D^I /∼ = {[0], [1], [4], [7]};
f^I/∼([0]) = [4], f^I/∼([1]) = [1], f^I/∼([4]) = [7], f^I/∼ ([7]) = [1];
p^I/∼ = {[0], [7]}, q^I/∼ = {[7]}.
I didn't understand this part "Furthermore ∼ thus defined also verifies the condition concerning f, because f^I(0) ∼ f^I(3), f^I(1) ∼ f^I(2) ∼ f^I(5) and f^I (4) ∼ f^I(6)." and also this "f^I/∼([1]) = [1]".

How can we prove its limit is 1/3 using delta epsilon?
@twin tinsel Has your question been resolved?
@twin tinsel Has your question been resolved?
I only know the single variable analysis version but
you kind of just start manipulating backwards until you get delta in terms of epsilon no?
yeah it's the same thing
limits can be defined in arbitrary metric spaces
so you're basically just using some vector norm instead
@twin tinsel Has your question been resolved?
ok where are you stuck
to prove this you work in reverse no?
|x^2 / (x+y) - 1/3 | < epsilon
then just start manipulating it
until you get some delta for (x, y)
yeah I was trying to do that but did not work
i mean i was not able to find delta
could you show me the manipulation
okay you can probably show that for 0 < epsilon < 1, epsilon/1000 works for delta, and otherwise 0.00001 works
like it doesn't have to be tight

rewrite an equation
I have to rewrite f(x)= (4/5x) to a form like this: f(x)= a*x^n
Could someone help me and explain how to get to the answer?
do you mean $\frac{4}{5x}$?
Ann
or $\frac{4x}{5}$
numbpy
do you mean
$\frac{4x^-1}{5}$ ?
Shockshwat
Shockshwat
yea this
kind of spoilery
In the answer book it says (4/5)*x^-1
yes
See , $\frac{1}{x^n}$ can be written as $x^{-n}$
Shockshwat
The thing I don't get is how you can isolate 4/5 out of the fraction
Here we have $\frac{4}{5}$ constant so we can take that out which gives us $\frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$
Shockshwat
ah, thanks
Now we know $\frac{1}{x}$ is actually $\frac{1}{x^1}$ And knowing that $\frac{1}{x^n}$ can be written as $x^{-n}$ we get ${x^{-1}}$ and then we get $\frac{4}{5} \cdot {x^{-1}}$
Shockshwat
thank you for your help!
and multiplying it we finally get $\frac{4x^{-1}}{5}$

how can i prove this is divergent or convergent?
can someone help me pls?
Nth term test should work
You can prove this is not convergent by proving that the limit of the general term is not 0
Because I have a feeling this is just the limit definition of e with extra steps
Yeah it is basically that
It is zero so that doesn't help
Care to elaborate?
Nth term test is inconclusive if the output is 0
Nvm you're right
maybe Cauchy's Criteria?
Ratio test probably will work after a lot of painful algebra
Was thinking Cauchy too
draganb
sry guys im jst in calc 1, where can i learn cauchys criterias? never heard of it
Maybe this helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTq6HI9w4n8

After his retirement, Peter decides he wants to receieve a regular payment at the start of each month for 25 years. He invests his lump sum at an annual rate of 4.2%. What is the monthly payment?
His lump sum = $644,037
I'm having trouble interepreting the question
How can he withdraw some amount from the account every month and try to get an interest on it?
I'm confused that if he is retired he should get pension, why is he getting payment
I'm interpreting it as - every month, the interest he earns + $644,037/(25*12)$
Awesome_Ruler_007
he apparently invested his pension
I see
Principal amount, yeah
I am just guessing his annual interest is divided by 12 to make it monthly interest?
No, its compound interest
I see mb
$\sqrt[12]{1 + 0.042} - 1$
The question didn't mentioned anywhere so I thought it's simple interest

hi I am having trouble with this word question. Do I just multiply 30ft and 10m? I don’t really understand 😅
So you either want to convert 10m to ft or 30 ft to meters
The table gives ft to meters directly so I think its easier to do 30 ft to meters

Hello all! I'm learning Multi-Var Calc, and am trying to solve this problem
Use polar coordinates to find the volume the given solid: above the cone $z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ and below the sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$
Anti-Clownfish
Using double integrals*, so:
- Convert into polar
Anti-Clownfish
Then set equal to find r value, which would be sqrt{2}/2
Then the double integrals will be: integral from 0 to 2pi and integral from 0 to sqrt{2}/2
But I'm not sure what will be the "inside" the integral (what will be integrated). Would it be sqrt{r^2} or sqrt{1-r^2}? And why?

@swift sky Has your question been resolved?
Its not that IDK how to compute the integral, I don't know how to set it up
Basically it's:
Int from 0 to 2pi and int from 0 to sqrt2/2 (I think) but I don't know the expression to integrate: is it
Sqrt(r^2) or sqrt(1-r^2)?
@swift sky Has your question been resolved?

since this is in polar and a double integral it's a little bit of a pain but I'll attempt to help and explain it in a way that makes sense.
Your bounds look good, your integral should be (sqrt(1-r^2)-r)r because sqrt(r^2) can be similifed down to r since bounds can tell us above or below the x,y plane. Since we want the space between the sphere and the cone, we're going to take the equation of the sphere, then subtract that by the cone and set the bounds so that the integral only collects information within the snowcone like shape . Then we multply that all by r because its been convertee to polar (integrals converted to polar need an extra r mutlplied in bc of reasoms you will learn later in class)
im about to go to sleep so i hope that made sense, if not my apologizes, and anyone feel free to jump in if I missed anything
i know what you mean -- im going to math it out and check it with the answer key rn
okay cool, sphereical is usually much better for this kinda integral so if its off some I probably converted something wrong in my head😅
I think the problem is with sqrt(1-r ^2)r
I use u sub, but when you plug in 2 (from the integration limits) into the 2/3 (1-r^2)^3/2, you get an imaginary answer, and that is most likely not the answer
did you mean sqrt(2)/2 or 2pi?
ur correct in that u shouldnt get an imaginary answer though
$\int^2_0 x^2$
Anti-Clownfish
Anti-Clownfish
u get r * sqrt{1-r^2) if you factor/whatever terminolgoy that is
u subbing it and then when i do the integral out its -3^(3/2)
I believe the upper bound should be sqrt(2)/2 but lemme just check something real quick
Oh wait yeah
It's cleaner, but still not as clean as the solution
Then if I integrate theta, thats just theta^2/2 (plug 2pi) and thats 2pi^2, which would not get the same solution as the above
you should just have to multiply what you get the first time you integrate by 2pi since there is no theta in the integral
Yeah I meant multiply by 2pi* oops, it still won't result in the answer
so depending what you get, it might look different but be the same bc of factoring
what did you end up getting as an answer
I'm going to redo it in case
okie dokie
.. and I got the same answer as the answer key now!
Thank you very much, so essentially the two shapes subtracted from each other which I get
lol..., now this?
yeah, and just make sure the bounds only include what you want
This was the one where it was
$\int^2_0 \int^{2pi}_0$
Anti-Clownfish
i believe so
I gotta head to bed but if no one has gotten to this by tomorrow i might be able to help you out mote
Alright, tmrw my teacher is going to teach this unit so I'll see if he covers something I missed in the readings
Thanks!

WHat is a difference of two squares ?
When an expression can be viewed as the difference of two perfect squares, i.e. a²-b², then we can factor it as (a+b)(a-b). For example, x²-25 can be factored as (x+5)(x-5).
In this the expression we are given is 3x^2-5y^2
To find the difference of two squares both numbers must be perfect squares
oh ok that is familiar
Yes and since, both terms are not perfect squares so
we cannot factor it further.
so it cant be factored as two different squares because there is a x and a y ?
Hmm not quiet. To find the difference of two squares both of the numbers. (The coefficients of x must be perfect squares. Perfect squares are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 so on. Both terms are not perfect squares so we cannot factor it further.
Does that make sense?
oh so a perfect square is a number that can be created by 1 number multiplied by itself like 7*7 = 49
Yup
And u need a perfect square to find the difference of two squares
And both of the numbers in ur equation are not perfect squares
Meaning u cant find the difference of the two squares

Well you see
i cant see
ok
So the problem is how 3x - x = 2x
yes
Close your eyes
ok
Ok don't
ok
Look at what I'm typing
alr
Imagine a small square
ok
Think of that as x
ok
Now in the problem, we have 3x being subtracted by an x
yes
ohhhhhh
How many do you see left?
2
Very good
yes

The reason why you can subtract them
is because
they are like terms
Both are x
ohhhhh
They both have the same shape
ohhh yeaaaa
c:
Nope
ohhhhh
y has a rectangular shape
NP
goodbye
Conclusion:
You can't combine unlike terms or unlike shapes

hi
Hey
How can we help you?
the x²=4ay one?
Yeah
Express t as a function of y
And plug it into x's equation
Actually this now looks like a vertical one
Which is this
@brazen spade
Hmm
$t = \frac{y-1}{2}$
VulcanOne
$x = \left( \frac{y-1}{2} \right)^2 +1$
VulcanOne
$x-1 = \frac{1}{4} (y-1)^2$
VulcanOne
$4(x-1) = (y-1)^2$
VulcanOne
i am sorry the wifi got discconected
Y^2 = 4aX
No worries :)
I got my wifi disconnections today morning too
🥲
I plugged into x=t^2 + 1
i am sorry but i am having problems understanding. you plugged in the x and y in which equation and what about the "a"
$y = 2t+1$
VulcanOne
Right?
yes
i get this
Okay that's t = function of y
yes
VulcanOne
oh
oh i get it now

so the equation of directrix is x-1=-1 right?
The directrix is usually how many a?
2 or 1?
1 a
And since the parabola is positive, so it is pointing to the positive x direction
And it's shifted towards the right by 1 unit
So (x-1) = -a
And a = 1
yes
thank you

Hey,im doing Grade 10 Quadratics and i'm stuck at one part of converting a vertex form equation to a standard form one. It would be appreciated if someone could help me learn what to do with fractions at the point i'm stuck at
I don't recall all my grade 10 terminology, can you give an example?
Hey, sorry i just did a little bit of digging and found exactly what i was looking for online, thanks anyways.

I am stuck at the final part of converting the equation to standard form
I have 3 different fractions so i do not have like terms to add
fractions can be added
should i send a picture of where i am at right now?
sure
just to clarify the picture says $y = \frac{2}{43}x^2-\frac{20}{43} \frac{100}{43}x-4$ right?
starlight
yes
There is no x in the second term 
the exact same thing though
the tutorial video i watched had 2 of the same fractions at the point i'm at so i dont know what to do if they are different
$-\frac{20}{43}x\frac{100}{43}$ makes me uncomfortable
better to write $-\frac{20}{43}x \cdot \frac{100}{43}$ js
Ann
or $-\frac{20}{43}\frac{100}{43}x$
ok so what would i do with those two fraction at that point
is it possible to gather them as like terms?
or is that the final answer in vertex form?

Confused as to how i end up with this graph even tho my calculator shows this
What course is this for that is teaching you polar coordinates but giving you a worksheet that looks like you are in junior high school
Honors pre calc
At a glance you need to evaluate your points more carefully. When theta = pi/6, r = 4sin(pi/2) = 4. Not 2. If you calculated it all wrong your points are going to be all over the place
I dont understand how when theta=pi/6, r=4
The rest of the problems match up with my graphs fine
Its right off the unit circle, at an angle pi/2, it points straight upwards and intersects the circle at (0,1) so sin(pi/2) = 1 and cos(pi/2) = 0.
But how would r=4 at pi/6
Wait
Ok im looking at your previous statement and when theta=pi/6, r=4sin3(pi/6)
Which would simplify to r=4sin(pi/2) correct?

so im currently learning chain rule but i have a couple questions; im given an example of y = (5x+7) and the steps show as;
Let u = 5x + 4
Then du/dx = 5
Why is du/dx made to be equal to 5 here
cuz of coefficient
I don't see how you'd use chain rule here
the coefficient of 5x is 5
well the derivative of 5x+4 is 5.
yes
its an example im pulling from my textbook
that makes sense now
this isn't related to chain rule-
well i didnt state everything
if it's y = (5x+7)^2 then that's a chain rule
ill send the screenshot
oops
wait
i mistyoed
i meant to say
y = (5x+4)^7
i forgot the power of 7
well technically nothing would have stopped you from applying the chain rule with the identity function as your outer function.
it still works, you're just subjecting yourself to a bit of extra work and bookkeeping.
and then we use the chain rule
dy/dx=(dy/du)(du/dx)
so we know that y = (5x+4)^7, then y=u^7
so dy/du=7u^6
and u=5x+3
yes
where does the y = u^7 come from
by substituting u=5x+4
so because you took the 5x+4 from y = (5x+4)^7 youre just left alone with the power of 7?
that's when the u comes in
yes
so you technically use a bit of the power rule in the chain rule then?
differentiating without expanding the binomial involves a combo of power and chain rule
you get the 1/2 from the reciprocal or something?
oh ok
trying to atleast
seems right enough
dont know how im doing though lol
nice
what kind of calc are you doing right now
also
it shows du/dx = -1
where do you get -1?
both derivatives and intergration
nice
-x
and the 3 is gone because of the power rule right
yes
how long did it take you to learn calc to where you are at currently
where does the (3-x) come from
u
Started at 7th grade, derivatives for around 3 weeks and integration around 1 month, preparation for ~6weeks
nice
cuz the power is -1/2
preparation includes:
Graphing
Trig
Exponents
Geometry(a bit)
you need to be quite good at these stuff
functions?
im fine with most of that stuff except for trig and geometry
and also trig identities
is that the same as trigonometric functions
or different
also
for using chain rule on trinomials
does anything change?
du/dx = 6x + 2?
cuz 3x^2+2x
isnt 3x^2 + 2x = 9x^2 + 2x
power rule

can someone help me with this?
my work
how are you getting that second last line
also writing dy/dx = stuff in that first line is very inappropriate
oh ok
Check how you are going from line 4 to line 5

wait doesnt it cancel out? because it'd be 1/2 times 2?
If you want to cancel it out you'd have to also change that 6x^5 and 6y^5 terms
ohh ok
so then for this probelm should i be factoring some constant out from both 1/2 and 6?
Well that would be an idea, or multiply both top and bottom by 2

is this space all of R^2?
If you mean if they span R^2 then yes they do
In fact they form the basis called the standard basis for R^2
yeah exactly
so does that mean if thats the image, the image is R^2?
be careful. what you showed is just a set with two vectors. that cannot be R^2. it does span R^2, yes
Image is generally used when we are talking about functions
What I mean is that, linear combinations of the given set with field R is R^2
earlier i had smth that said if the dimension of the image is 2, then the image is all of R^2
if you are in R^2, yes
T : R^3 -> R^2
then yes

Hi I cannot really understand why do we use conditional operator with the universal quantifier in logic
i mean why don't we just use the "and" operator?
the reason they give in my textbook is that by using the "and" operator we imply that every object in the universe should have the predicates we are testing
however, by looking at the truth table of the conditional operator, it returns true even when the antecedent is false...

Why does the determinant of a nxn-matrix stay the same if I expand it with a 1 along the diagonal?
expand along the last row or column
I don’t know how to compute the determinant. We have been given some properties and some definitions (of alternating groups, etc). We were told the above holds for all nxn matrices.
Well I do know the formulas for 2x2 and 3x3 but thats not really useful for my understanding of the general nxn case
you will hopefully learn a property that allows you to compute an nxn determinant by expanding along a row or column and computing n determinants of size (n-1)x(n-1)
not sure rn how to prove this particular case without that tho. should probably be possible tho
do you know that you can row reduce to compute determinants?
I don’t think that we will proof the above that way. We always do things like this shortly after introducing them. I’ve seen similar things on stackexchange that argued with the properties of alternating maps, etc but I cant find one that explains the above
and do you know that for a triangular matrix the determinant is the product of the diagonal entries?
I dont know anything about computation
Well
I know the long way
With permutations and the Sn group
With sums that have like a thousand terms
I mean you could force your way through this and see that a lot of products are 0 I guess
except for those were you fix the last element in the permutation
that allows you to go from Sn to S(n-1)
Argument using induction?
I mean if you don't know anything about general nxn determinants except the leibniz formula then whatever you do will be painful
Whats the leibniz formula?
the one with the sum over all permutations
Just googled a way of nit forgetting a permutation: is rule of sarrus something that I use with the leibniz formula?
rule of sarrus is only applicable for 3x3 matrices
:(
you never use the leibniz formula to actually compute the determinant
it's just there for theoretical purposes
what you can try to show for yourself: show that row operations play nicely with the determinant
more specifically, switching rows flips the sign of the determinant, scaling a row by c also scales the determinant by c and adding a multiple of one row to another does not change the determinant at all
I am hoping that you know that the determinant is multilinear and alternating in the rows
ok great
this gives you a way to calculate determinants by row-reducing a matrix
row reduce until you have a triangular matrix and then the determinant is the product of the diagonal entires
which you can show by completing row reducing a triangular matrix to the identity and using that the determinant of the identity is 1
Will that help me for general nxn matrices
With variables for every entry
The row reducing would be pretty ugly I feel like
so now lets say you have a matrix $A$ which you can row reduce to a triangular matrix $T$. so you know that $\det A = \det T$. now lets think about the matrix $\begin{pmatrix} A & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ which is just $A$ with a $1$ at the bottom right. you can just row reduce the first rows like previously and then you will get the matrix $\begin{pmatrix} T & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$. but this is again just a triangular matrix, so the determinant is the product of the diagonal entries. which are just the entries of $T$ and the $1$. so $$\det \begin{pmatrix} A & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \det \begin{pmatrix} T & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \det T = \det A$$
Denascite
when I say row-reduce here, I don't mean actually doing it. I mean that you could in theory do it and it has the properties i described above
Does this have a name or is it just basic application of determinant properties?
what exactly should have a name here?
The reducing to apply leibniz easier
well, row-reducing
and yes just basic knowledge that this plays well with the determinant
Should I just take note of all the row operations that multiply something?
When doing it on a real matrix later
I find that in practice I generally never actually multiply a row by something
I only ever add a multiple of some row to another
or rarely switch two rows
but yes if you were to multiply them then you have to account for that
I mean it's just pulling a factor out
@junior iron Has your question been resolved?
I tried to do it by splitting it up into two sums
One sum where you have permutations that dont give you the (n+1)-element in the first n columns and then a sum where the last column gets the 1 in the bottom right
Just realized that I can make the conditions better I dont need two conditions one is enough
Just one sum where the last column gets the n+1 element and one where it doesnt
This should be enough I think

no, because you have missed an important part of the defn of an algebraic number.
under your definition, every complex number is algebraic.
yessir
is that wrong?
do not call me sir.
i cannot help but analyze "yessir" as "yes sir".
ok
anyway
bruh
would you like to try and recall the defn of an algebraic number yourself or do you want me to remind you
Stop being transphobic they have clearly told you not to refer to them using masculine terms
A number α in C is algebraic if there exists a polynomial such that f(α) = 0.
no, incorrect. you are still missing the most important part.
sorry if it offended you ann
right now, with your definition, pi is algebraic because it is the root of the polynomial (x - pi).
@light pine
right
ok what am i missing then
you are missing that the polynomial has to have integer coefficients.
(rational coefficients are good enough too, in the sense that a number is annihilated by some polynomial in Z[x] if and only if it's annihilated by a polynomial in Q[x] -- it's a matter of preference which one is chosen as The Definition™️)
so all coeffs. appearing in f are integers?
yes
so
back to question 5
what do i need to change
ive changed my dfn in question 4 now
well your work for question 5 is unsalvageable
given a polynomial f ∈ Z[t] which annihilates x (i.e. for which x is a root), how do you construct a polynomial g ∈ Z[t] such that g(sqrt(x)) = 0?

You invest $400 in a magazine stand. You buy each magazine at $3.00 and you are planning to sell them at $7.00.
Write a linear function to represent the situation. Choose your own variables.
@crimson elm Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Do you mean get a function to represent profit?
Yes
3
Yep
And if we’ve sold 0 magazines and spent 400 on the stand, what’s the current net profit
-400
Yep
So this gives a y-intercept of -400
And if every magazine sold gives a profit of 3, then the line will have a gradient of 3
Leaving y=3x-400
The 7 is in there cause 3=7-4
Should be guiding ppl to answer, not giving it
Ok thank you
I also need help with another question
If that’s ok with you
What is the minimum number of magazines you have to sell to break even?
When it says break even, does it mean that the y must be zero?
Yep
