you do know what a cone is right?
yeah
are you familiar with party hats?
look i may not know this but ive atleast eaten icecream
yes
the base of a cone is a circle
and the other part is referred to as the curved/lateral part
oh ok
(you already know the area of the base, so to determine the total area, you'd need to know that other part)
the area of the other part?
the area of the face/part that isn't the circular base
wdym then
how do we find the area of that
did you
perhaps you should first look up on surface area of a cone,
or actually lateral/curved area of a cone would be more helpful
and state any parts (if any) that you don't understand
i tried but i couldnt understand shit
link what you're reading
and
and state any parts (if any) that you don't understand
pythag would be part of the calculations
and thats pi1213
pi * r * l = pi * 12 * 13
gives you the curved surface area
156*pi
yes, and the total area
would be
curved area + area of base

I am solving $$\int_{-1}^{2}|cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})|dx$$ and this is my solution $$\int_{-1}^{2}cos(\frac{\pi x}{2})dx =$$ $$= \left[\frac{2}{\pi}sin\frac{\pi x}{2}\right]_{-1}^2$$, is the answer -0,6366... correct? And also, is it equivalent to $\frac{6}{\pi}$?
marejak023
6/pi is positive
so that can't be the same
you can't just ignore the absolute value like that
oh right.. im dumb
the integrand is nonnegative so the value of the integral also has to be nonnegative
well and what should i do with the abs? I was using the integral-calculator website and I achieved the same result
check where cos(pi x/2) switches signs
and then split up the interval into several ones each over those integrals
then depending on whether cos(pi x/2) is positive or negative there, flip the sign
then calculate each integral and add up
@oblique lynx Has your question been resolved?
tried to sketch it on paper, so the sign should be flipped from -pi/2 to pi, if thats correct
that would be for a normal cos(x) curve
here its cos(pi x/2)
wait I misread. that's not even correct for cos(x)
@oblique lynx Has your question been resolved?
,w plot cos(pi x / 2) for -1 < x < 2
adapt your knowledge to cos(pi x / 2) for -1 <= x <= 2

So like how would I determine how much money I would have if I saved $90 , $95, $100, $120 & $150 for 3 months
What do you mean?
I wanna know how much money I would have if I save those amounts of money for 3 months
I should’ve never skipped maths class but oh well
If you saved eg. 90$ for 3 months? You would have 90$ :]
what's the original wording of the question
are you paraphrasing
I am pretty sure they're not :p
are you translating
If I saved those amounts every week for that much months
nope I just speak broken English so my English is just terrible
How many weeks do 3 months have?
It may differ
4 weeks per 3 months ? 🥴
It will be either 12 or 13
12 months in a year, 52 weeks in a year, 13 weeks in 3 months
probably 13 unless February is included
So like 1st week you go to bank and save 90$. Another week you go to bank and again save 90$?
yes
Okay, so isn't it just 90$x13?
Look, that would be 90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90+90, which is 90x13
It's multiplication. 5*4=20. This symbol is used mainly on computer, on paper it usually reffers to differenct concept.
- is plain text symbol for multiplication

this is a self study assesment and im really struggling with understanding it
@uncut veldt
@lusty birch
<@&286206848099549185>
you should first roughly graph the function to get better idea
are you fine with graphing it?
im already done graphing it i just have a hard time with the lim thing i still dont understand it
see,
with the 'a' part the limit will be 2 as it can be easily observed
you agree with it?
yeahh
good, then what part specifically are you struggling with?
'a', 'b;, 'c',.... which one?
or do you have doubt in each one?
what im stuggling is i dont understand what i should do with those my teacher doesnt explain it properly
I'm sorryy, I didn't get your point
Is it like- you got it when I explained you 'a' part but you didn't get it when your teacher did
or you are asking how to formally write answer with explanation
oh its like the class ended early so my teacher didnt get to teach us those part he just said to search and learn it ourselves
yesss if its okay with you
sure
As you can see in 'b', if you approach from right side, the limit would be 3, right?
so 3 is the correct answer
Now if you can see the the right hand and left hand limits aren't same so answer for 'c' would be undefined
are you getting it?
maybe not
sorry for that
I was wrong, I guess
call it "does not exist" for now
Now for 'd' part you can see definition of function to get g(-2) = 2
for 'e' and 'f' part you can again do the same thing to get 3 and 2 respectively as answers
and again for 'g' limit doesn't exist
and finally g(2) = 1
is it all clear??
i still dont fully get it but thank you
what part did you not get?
or maybe it's getting hard for you to understand it on a chat
you should probably seek your teacher's help
@hushed ore Has your question been resolved?
for the limits that have a "-" superscript (for example x -> -2⁻) imagine a car driving along the graph, from the left, approaching the value at which x tends to (in this case -2), but not touching it, and stopping just by... which value would the car give? I think that is kind of the idea of a limit (this is how I like to imagine it)
in this sense, what matters for establishing a limit is what happens "around" the value, rather than IN the value itself
Closed due to timeout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
for instance, for a graph like this, when x -> 3⁻, we have f(x) = 1, as the car approaches the value 3 but never "falls"

could someone just check this?
by my calculations, pi over 12 should be negative
it's 1/3-1/2 = -1/6
divided by 2
=-1/12
moment
it's a trigonometric equation

but if :
sin(4x + pi/3) + sin(pi/2 - 2x) = 0
doesn't mean by necessary that :
sin(4x + pi/3) = 0
sin(pi/2 - 2x) = 0
isn't ?
well you might be right, but I checked with the answers in the textbook, and it turns out there's really a mistake there
since that's just from a website that's 3-rd party solving my textbook's problems
thank you though

does anyone know what the F here is, i am kind of confused
is it just a third primitive statement?
or is it possibly saying something like when that statement is true ^ false
It could be a boolean function
i don’t think we have learned what those are
the only notation for F we know is just representing false

how do i figure this out??
Do you know SOH CAH TOA?
Multiple ways
yep
What trig function should you use?
cos?
o
And what about the side that is 80?
hyp
So what trig function should you use?
sin?
In SOH CAH TOA, which one uses opp and hyp?
sin
So can you make the equation based on that info?
no’
perspective of the given angle
You know it's $sin(\theta) = \frac{opp}{hyp}$
dldh06
Fill in what you know
Where is 5 from?
And what about the $sin(\theta)$ part?
dldh06
So the equation is?
It's this with the stuff you just plugged in
80sin50 ?
You plugged in theta, opp, and hyp
I asked for the equation after you plugged in the stuff
$sin(\theta) = \frac{opp}{hyp}$
dldh06
You know theta, opp, and hyp, plug in those givens
sin50 = b/80
Now the problem asks how would you solve for b, so set the equation equal to b
Yes
Ask
Given $tan(\theta)$, what is the ratio for tan?
dldh06
Yes
idk
Use tan theta = 1/2
1?
1 for what?
a
Then b is?
2
So if a = 1 and b = 2. can you figure out the proper answer now?
Yes
damn this worksheet is hard
im 13 turning 14 this year is is bad that idk how to do these
All this is applications of SOH CAH TOA
Yes
im so smart
could u answer this pls
be honest
I didn't answer that because that sentence was hard to understand
i am 13, is it bad that i dont know how to do these types of questions
i am turning 14 this year
No, it's not bad, because everyone learns at different rates
ok, im taking a 5 min break (pomodoro) should i close this and open a new one soon

No clue what i'm doing wrong here. I'm on part A. I'm integrating over the interval [0,3]
factoring 2pi out, over 0,3, then taking the top function minus the bottom function with respect to y
integrating normally and not getting an answer that makes sense (negative, pi somehow factored out) etc.
should I be integrating from -1 to 3?

hello
i need help with a trigonometry problem
i need to find how long the line BD is
hello ?
can someone help me ?
<@&286206848099549185>
hello ?
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
ok
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
1
Let's say BD = x
ok
Can you express AD using x and tan35°?
,calc tan(35 deg)
Result:
0.70020753820971
Well tangent means opposite divided by adjecent
both AD and BD refer to lengths
ok
how do i use the angles and the length of AC to find BD ?
if i use tan, then i have to use the opposite of A
which i dont know
tan (35°) = AD/BD
AD = BD•tan (35°)
tan (22°) = DC/BD
DC = BD•tan (22°)
AD + DC = AC = 80m
i still dont know what to do, tbh
try not to do the whole problem for people
its ok
it's better to give hints and have them do computations
just tell me step by step, what i have to do
i am kind of in a hurry, so hints would take a lot longer than i have time to study
👍 sry, wont do again
no no, its ok
Hints help you learn
You then get to apply those helps and solve it yourself
ik
Because if someone just gives you the process, you're just going to memorize it
but there is a test TOMORROW, and my grades are really bad
at this point, i'll take memorizing
Which will, over long term, lead to not understand the concept, which means you won't know how to solve a similar problem given slightly different constructs.
It's really a matter of short term gain for long term loss, or short term loss for long term gain
i will properly learn it after the test
b4 would be cool tho
i dont have time for it tho
😳
i wish i did
Or properly learn now so it doesn't hurt you in the future when you start cramming
i cant do it properly now, i SWEAR i will later
but rn, i need to memorize as much as i can
this is the FINAL test
i'll either fail, or pass
and probably fail
Bad idea
its all i have rn
imo, memorising this wont do any good, u need to develop the skill so u can apply it to every question
if i memorize the way it works, and try to apply it
Still don't suggest memorizing
ok
Under pressure, you will forget everything
i dont know anything to forget
how tf did i get here, never would have guessed that i would be this close to failing
anyway, thx
i'll just go

My bad, no chain rule here
same question:
#help-13 message
function composition
In this section we discuss one of the more useful and important differentiation formulas, The Chain Rule. With the chain rule in hand we will be able to differentiate a much wider variety of functions. As you will see throughout the rest of your Calculus courses a great many of derivatives you take will involve the chain rule!
Do all examples 2
if you want to have fun, you can use the chain rule for functions of 2 variables to derive the product and quotient rules
I'm about to do all of example 2, but I must stop and say Outstanding explanation of the Chain Rule parts in that link!
could have saved me a ton of time going there first
Glad to hear 
I wonder why the answer was re-written?
No preference. Both are equivalent
Therefore, the outside function is the exponential function and the inside function is its exponent.
For example c, e and its exponent aren't separated so I don't see how this works here.
This one?
yes, i read that
outer function is e^w and inner function is w^4 -3w^2+9
Do you know
$\frac{d}{dw} e^w=?$
riemann
oh. so, that's how to separate the two
no, I haven't heard of this before
Hmmm. That's probably something to worry about another time then
The organization of this chapter assumes you know most derivatives already: trig, log, exponential, polynomials
ok. i will continue now that I know this:
#help-13 message

but I guess log does not work like sin and must have it's value computed first
I'll have to return to these examples since I must get hw done
the substitution in the last few examples aren't clear
but let me return to the original problem here:
now, i see what you mean by "no chain rule here"
the variables all occur by themselves with no operator separating them
therefore the product rule and power rule apply
on the one hand i have an itch to mention the higher-order product rule, on the other that'd probably only sow confusion

Product rule on $\sec(x)\tan(x)$ I would believe?
chartbit
I thought that's what I did
also, quick question since I'm doing other hw while waiting on assistance for this:
does the exponent 3 go to both the num and denom?
Yep you’d apply it to both, equivalent to $4\frac{(1+t)^{3}}{(t+3)^{3}}$
chartbit
Ah how did you apply it(?)
$2 \sec x + 2x \sec x \tan x + 2x \sec x \tan x + x^2 \sec x \tan x$
Willow
[have poor reception atm 🚂 may reply slowly]
Did you differentiate sec(x)tan(x) on the last bit? You’d need to do that if that’s like the whole expression no?
Looks like everything else you did fine but you’d need to differentiate the sec(x)tan(x), which is their brackets
i'll return to this later
another quick question
^ what's the outside function here?
is it x^2?
What do you mean by outside function, for chain rule?
oh, there is no chain rule here
Just note that (cos(3)) is a constant like any other number there
cos(3) is just a number
this is the product rule
oh, you mean it's a constant?
sure is.
ah, that's what the parens is signifying
i mean, you technically \textbf{can} apply the chain rule here by treating this as the composition of the linear function $t \mapsto \cos(3) \cdot t$ with the function $x \mapsto x^2$... but writing that out will reduce to the linearity rule. or the constant multiple rule, as it might be known in your class.
so, this isn't even the product ruel
Ann
Don’t need it here no 
just the plain ole constant multiple rule
(Similar to above, you could, but no need to at all)
What's happening here?
Double angle cos identity
No no, there’s $\cos(2a) = \cos^{2}(a) - \sin^{2}(a)$ as an identity
chartbit
(You can use this to get equivalent forms of the double angle cos identity)
They just applied that here by factoring out the 2 (and setting a= 2x)
What's this alternate solution?
what rule(s) is this?
That’s double angle identity for sin, first changing the original form using $\sin(2a) = 2\sin(a)\cos(a)$
chartbit
[alright network is getting really bad here :/]
Divide both sides by 2 and set a=2x similarly to beforehand

How do I solve this matrix ? I don't know how to start on this one...
I know how to solve n * n matrices but I'm not sure about this one
I am not sure about this, but is this thing representing system of 3 equations with 5 variables?
If I was right with my first statement, then first let's name the variables like this.
Now variable B and whole 2nd column can be removed since it's not even present in the system of equations. In whole column, there are just 0s
So you are left with this
You can see that C=4, and E=0, by looking at 2nd and 3rd row of matrix.
Now from the first row, you can reconstruct equation 1A+5D=-5. Which is usolvable.
So your final solution is A is unknown, but there is some relation with D, B is completely unknown, C is 4, D has relation with A but is unknow, and E is 0.
Am I correct charbit? Last time I've encountered linear algebra was like 6 months ago
Okay thanks
Basically I’d say that this step here isn’t needed, but assuming “solve” means there’s a linear equation this represents, yea
Read as a+5d=-5, c=4, e=0

How do I calculate the derivative of absolute value function for some x
Differentiate $|x^5-1|$ in the origin?
afeAlway
do you mean at x=0?
the graph of y = |x^5 - 1| does not pass through the origin.
in any case, x^5 - 1 < 0 for x ∈ (-∞, 1), so your function is equal to 1 - x^5 around x=0, and its derivative is the same
@summer kayak Has your question been resolved?
so both $x^5-1$ and $1-x^5$ work for x=0?
afeAlway
I mean if they gave the same answer which they did, for example if it had been x=2 only x^5-1 would have worked but nevermind, I understand it now.

Hi! I have a question about SageMath/Sage. I know that divisors(x) gives the divisors of x but how does one get for example to 4th divisor of x(If it has that many)? Ex: 4th divisor of 24=4
As far as I'm concerned, divisor(x) seems to be an operator only used by whatever program you're using
It's probably taking the 4th element from the list of (positive) integer factors of x
Like factors of 24 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}
@coarse jackal makes sense?
Uh it prints out a list of all its factors but I don't wish for that here

Yes
Is my work also correct?
Yes @elder elm sorry, phone call
How do we know it is negative? Is it because as one line of x,y ordered pairs incease, the other is decreasing?
I want to phrase it differently. $x$ is the independent variable. As $x$ increases, the $y$ variable decreases. This is most-easily determined by recognizing the coefficient of the $x$ term in your equation. Specifically, you have $y=(-2)x+12$...the $-2$ means the relationship is negative.\
RiemannZeta
And the same is true for the other part of the table?
the y values for 6, 8, 10, and 12 also decrease as x increases.
last questions
so the answers would be yes
and for the final one, equation-only 2 variables, graph-straight line, and table-constant rate of change
Correct on all of them
I say yes to question 4 because x is dependent on variable y.
Thank you Rie.
No problem. For clarification: $x$ is independent. We would say that $y$ is dependent on $x$ (effectively, we get to choose $x$ which forcibly determines the value of $y$...if we choose $y$, we have to then solve for the value of $x$ that gave us that particular $y$ value).

can anyone help me with probabilities
what is it
1sec@sullen cliff
two boxes contain spheres, box 1 contains 4 red spheres and 5 white spheres; box 2 contains 2 red spheres and 3 white spheres. a sphere is drawn from each of the boxes, find the probability that the spheres: a) are both red b) one is white and the other is red
@sullen cliff
ok
so
the probability of getting a red from the 1st box is 4/9 right, 4 red 9 total
yes
the other has a probability of 2/5
yes
8/45
yes
one is white and the other is red
yes
box 1:
red -> 4/9
white -> 5/9
box 2:
red -> 2/5
white -> 3/5
we either have red/red, red/white, white/red or white/white
yes
red/red -> 8/45
red/white -> 12/45
white/red -> 10/45
white/white -> 15/45
the row isnt important i think
yes
yeah so thats it
yes
with different posibilties each
we need 1 red 1 white
red/red is not what we want
why is red/red 8/45
.
oh
chance of red in box 1 * chance of red in box 2
yeah
red/white -> 12/45 why
theyre equal to this
because 4/9 * 3/5 is 12/45
chance of the red in box 1 and white in box 2
oh i get it now
can you help me with a few similar exercices
btw i see youre working on python
do you programm
can i ask you 1 more exercise though , then we can do more when youre available

d) they have no daughters
how do i do this probability problem?
@hot ore Has your question been resolved?
anyone?
@hot ore Has your question been resolved?
@hot ore really feel your struggle, i wish i could at but i suck at this too
I'm tempted to answer, but it depends whether it's a middle school/ maybe highschool question or a university level one. a k a whether we're considering the chances to have a girl or a boy 50/50. in such a scenario I think I might help
university
damn. so I guess the chance for them to have at least 1 son is not 1- (the chance of them having only daughters) = 1- (1/2)^4.
Hope you get an answer
i gotta learn the basics of probability tbh
imma head on youtube to see if i can find a good course

with a contrapositive statement, if the antecedent being false, but the consequent being true, is the contrapositive true?
Does this just follow the normal rules of conditionals where if the antecedent is false but the consequent is true, the whole conditional is true?
@icy zinc Has your question been resolved?
@icy zinc Has your question been resolved?
a contrapositive statement is true iff the original statement is true
@icy zinc Has your question been resolved?
Yes, an 'If...Then' statement is an implication and F -> T, (F being false and T being true) will always be true
In case of implication only T->F gives result as F or False

"Check algebraically that the quadrilateral with vertices at A(-3,-1), B(3,-9), C(5,5), and D(11,-3) is a square"
<@&286206848099549185>
do I just use distance formula and see what all the sides are
@marsh furnace Has your question been resolved?
you should check that all the sides are the same length
but that is not enough to guarantee you have a square
so how would I do it?
if you have all sides the same length, you could also have a rhombus
what do you need additionally to make it a square?
uhhh
what differentiates a square from rhombuses
a square have all 90 degree angles and rhombuses don't
how?
do you know how to check that two lines meet at a right angle?
perhaps something to do with their slopes/gradients?
gradients?
yes
and if you have two lines, do you know how to check that they're perpendicular?

im so tired i wanna cry 😭
no i don't think so
how
do you know how to use the distance formula?
yes
okay so
i was trying to use distance formula and stick in the coords
one of the sides is AB
yes
yes
what do you get
just do distance formula for all of it?
10
yes
lemme check this
yes to this
,w distance (-3,-1) to (3,-9)
okay it's right
you should do the same for BC, CD, and DA
and ensure that you have the same length for all 4

this is already no longer a square
,w distance (3,-9) to (5,5)
heck desmos makin it looking like a square
man i hate my life
ABDC?
the order of the vertices
so try BD instead of BC
do I keep the AB?
yes
ok
that one will be one of the sides
and likely the other one will be BD
then DC
and finally CA
they form the square ABDC
DC = 10
you should probably also check that the sides are perpendicular
?
because as i said earlier
it's possible to be a rhombus
that all the sides are the same is insufficient to be a square
a rhombus is a shape with all sides equal
this equation
when the slopes of two lines multiply to -1, they are perpendicular
uh huh
you should check that two pairs of lines are perpendicular
what do i sub in hold on
actually 
i think one pair is enough
you should calculate the slopes of two adjacent sides
i cant

you know what im lazy im just gonna pretend its a square
thanks anyway tho 👍

Can you help? (grade 9 math) please show me step by step :) 💗
Please i want to submit this assignment because i took so long 🥹
So we'll use the formula
(n-2) times 180 will be equal to sum of interior angles
So (n-2)180=5220
Try to find n from this equation
It should give you the number of sides
I'm trying to remember how to solve the second part
which formula
oh okay let me try to see how mnay sides it has
That's a standard formula
Yep
the second part seems hard
yes i got the same thing thankss 💖

In this question isn't 3 a critical point? And thus f'(3) = 0?
The answersheet says answer is B not C
f is not differentiable at 3.
thank you sooo much 💖
So f'(3) = 0?
f'(3) = Doesn't exist
I see
You're right
Didn't think of that
One would be -2 and the other 1
We add them together ad get -1
Now it's correct
Thank you very much Ann 🫶

This is like
not really a math question.
This is asking you to know about biology, or physiology, or something like that
A is basically saying 4-year-olds tend to be more similar to each other in terms of height and weight, compared to 18-year-olds, who vary more.
Seems like that's what they're getting at
