what's the LCM?
I know what LCM stands for, I'm asking for what she got as the LCM of the denoms
Wouldn't it be x(x-3)(x-4)(x-5)
no, it would just be (x-3)(x-4)(x-5)
you're solutions doesn't even have "=" symbols bruh
For starters, writing on a bigger piece of paper would help
okay should i write it and send it here
Yes

What is the left angle called?
Coterminal?
Forgot the name
It’s like 180-(the angle)
To get the left angle
I don’t believe it’s coterminal but smth else
Reference angle? @deep patrol
Oooh
So the blue would be
The reference angle to the red?
Oh no
Its the other way around
The red would be the reference angle of the blue
I see

Hi. I want to know what actually does it mean by "Closed form Solution" in the context of integration.
roughly speaking, a finite combination of all the usual functions you know
a closed form solution is a formula that gives an explicit expression for the definite integral of a function
polynomials, trigonometric stuff, exponential, logarithms, ...
it just basically doesn't have non-elementary functions
usually
A closed form solution provides a way to calculate the area under a curve without having to resort to numerical methods such as Riemann sums, basically. Or whatever other numerical methods there are out there
If I write my answer as a series... like, $$\int \sqrt[n]{\tan{x}} \ dx = n \sum_{k=0}^\infty(-1)^k \frac{(\tan x)^{2k +\frac{n+1}n}}{2nk +n+1} + C$$.
Is it a closed form?
innocently.innocent.soul
no
no
Why? There are all basic functions... trig and polynomial
a series representation of an integral is not closed form
but its a series
Ohh
you can rewrite all integrals to be infinite series, doesn't mean they all will be closed forms
What are non-elementary functions btw? Like gamma, beta, hypergeometric functions, etc...?
oh... I didn't know that.
yeah sure
Can I convert it into closed form?
Eh well ignore this actually
Ok
I dont know if you can find a closed formula for that
that's usually very difficult to do
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=Closed+form+for+integral+of+(tanx)^1%2Fn
This is the closed form for the above integral.... but it involved hypergeometric function which is non-elementary.
thats why i said earlier that closed forms are usually given with elementary functions
you can still find one using non-elementary functions
but whatever that is...I have no clue how Wolfram gets to that
How would I know that it is closed form?
You said usually.... what are the other ways to classify the solution as closed form?
no i meant for the elementary/non elementary part
Expressibility is usually the biggest give away
if you have a definite answer that is expressed using a finite number of mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. then it should be closed form
A closed form solution is typically expressed using elementary functions, such as polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions, etc. but not always
"but not always" what about that case?
How would I know this is closed form? At first glance, seeing hypergeometric stuffs, I just can't think that it is closed form.

Lets say I want to apply the definition of limit in order to test if the limit I've found is correct, for example:
$\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{6x^5+7x^2}{7x^5-4}=\frac{6}{7}$
supMarco
thus by applying the definition:
$\frac{6x^5+7x^2}{7x^5-4} - \frac{6}{7} < \varepsilon$
supMarco
How do I realize (in case) that the limit isn't correct in that inequality (eg: if I use 5/7)? I understand it graphically

Yes
well assuming A and B are positive
(a/b)^k = a^k/b^k
(ignoring complex numbers for a second)
👍
How would it affect though 
well if they are both negative then the sign on the LHS cancels but doesnt on the RHS
Can't you just cancel i on the RHS
.
Yes but I’m still curious, why can’t we cancel i?
at a level where people ask these questions, sqrts of negative numbers probably just aren't allowed. so I'm going with that and saying that while the expression on the left might be ok, the expression on the right might not be allowed
Oh ok thanks
You don’t need to remove it
Try factorising
sqrt is continuous which means that you can pull the limit inside
Oops replied to the wrong msg
$\lim \sqrt{\ldots} = \sqrt{\lim \ldots}$
Denascite
Factorise
i put one sqrt up and one sqrt down then i multiply by the denominator sqrt ?
i mean
Factorise the numerator and denominators
how do i remove the sqrt
we do but we dont really
(x+4) cancels out
You don’t need to
You don’t need to
why i dont need to
Because (x+4) cancels
Denominator is (x-3)
Its not indeterminate anymore
Just substitute
$\sqrt{\frac{-a}{-b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}\
{\frac{\sqrt{-a}}{\sqrt{-b}}=\frac{\sqrt{-1\cdot a}}{\sqrt{-1 \cdot b}} = \frac{\sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{b}}$
Frosst
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
you can still just cancel the √-1's
without complex numbers this expression is just not allowed
jeez I really didn't wanna have this discussion
@unborn pike but when i replace the x by -4 i get sqrt of 0/-7
It's just the quadratic formula
Yeah
So thats 0 right?
yes
So thats the answer
so there is no limit ?
but for x>-4 x<-4 ?

For 8a, is it just that "All rabbits can hop"
it's a weird question, it's for discrete math
i dont know about saying if it "can" hop
x hops <=> x can hop
how about "all rabbits hop?"
I think its B
it's not multiple choice, the question has 4 parts
ah so you think everything is a rabbit
adding the word can adds only a possibility, not that it will
all animals that are rabbits hop
Mb lol
i think is better
i am saying thats what they probably meant
oh yeah thats what i meant as in we probably shouldnt write can
i hate logical sentences :| now im confusing myself
its not multiple choice
oh okay, thank you. And i need a little bit of help with 8b too. Could I say "all animals are rabbits and can hop" ?
huh?
you have to translate each sentence
into real words
there are four logical statements
and we have to translate each into regular english
oh
that sounds good

hey just had a quick question about the difference quotient/derivative formula
what exactly does h represent
Change in x
change in x from where the point on tan line is?
Well just some change in x
Like 2 -> 3, h is 1
And since we read functions left to right, h is gonna be positive

can someone help me if this is correct or not
does x2 mean 2x? or x^2
i dont know
lol well that might be important
i think its x^2
okay
well, assuming it is x^2 this problem is going to involve the the product rule and the chain rule. if our first function is the cuberoot of x^2, we can simplify that to x^2/3 and leave our second function as (2x-x^2)
Can you post your work on how you got that?
using the product rule we get that the derivative should be the derivative of [x^(2/3)] * (2x-x^2) + the derivative [(2x-x^2)] * x^(2/3). So take those derivatives and make sure to not forget to use the chain rule and see if your answer works out to be a.

What is this notation? It's for probability and statistics
probability of some random variable x greater than or equal to 2 given x greater than or equal to 0
does the bar just mean given?
yeah
that's the most confusing part
okay cool
just had no idea what that symbol was supposed to represent
no not off the top of my head
wow this is very helpful thanks! also it's dependent on my knowledge of intersection I see, intersection is like the middle of a Venn diagram right? what the two sets have in common?

Can someone help me
just ask!
bro what chapter is this
ive never seen this in my lif
It’s unit 10 for ap calc bc
ah
Infinite sequences and series
You’re supposed to
oh ok
It’s the formula
i think you can solve it using sum of arithmetic series formula
Uhh well calculator says converges
let me checl
Check the order of your denominator
What
oh yea it does converge
Yeah idk what I did wrong
Oh wait hm you wrote it wrong but your idea was right that it'd be 4/3 in the limit
Wdym I wrote it wrong
I'd check the a_{n+1}/a_n calculation again if anything
In your last bit of writing you had 3n^2 in the denominator but I think you realized it should be 3n^3
My teacher did this
However I don’t know where the ^2 on the n+1 went
See how it’s in the top right limit
But then in the bottom left one
It’s gone
That’s probably why mine is diverging but idk where the ^2 went
No you're right that (n+1) should be squared
Wait so how can I see the proper steps to that?
If I'm reading this right it may just be a small mistake on your teacher's part then
Is there online calculators?
But i mean his answer gave him converges
,w sum ( 4^(1 + n/2) n^2 )/(3^(2 + n) (n + 3)), n from 2 to inf
I know but this shows that it converges to some finite value
Get 2/3
What
Think you might have forgotten to square root 4 somewhere
Wdym
Yeah 2/3 should be your ratio
How
How'd you cancel this?
When you're canceling the powers of 4 be careful abt exponents
Split 4^3/2 into 4 and 4^1/2
To cancel with the bottom ones
[sorry poor choice of blue]
Uhh
Should it not be this?
Exactly what chartbit said but if it helps here's how to see it maybe in an earlier step
OH
So then it would be
Wait no
Wait what
Yeah so I’m left with 4^1/2 right
Which is 2
So then 2/3
Correct?
Also suggestion is that the denom starts with n^3 in your work, if you meant you expanded
63/) it’s n^3
I just forgot to change it in pic
Which one of these looks the most difficult?
I have my exam tomorrow so I want to make sure I understand these good
Hmmm they all seem about the same, having not yet tried them tbh
Alright can I try them and if I get stuck I can help ?
Everyone on the ap calc bc chat went to bed:(
Top and bottom ones you can ignore the (-1)^{...} because of absolute value, but with them all I think it's being careful with steps?
Sure sure, I may not be around myself but there are plenty of people who can help out 
:((
I'm usually lurking though 
It’s 2 for me
Just hope that this coffee has set in for me now 
Haha I'm on like an hour and a bit of sleep
Can't disclose 
I don't know 
Help me with abstract algebra in 2 years
When I’m a senior
:))
And number theory
And analysis too lol
Actually gonna take those
Senior year
With discrete mathematics
Analysis and abstract algebra 
Hopefully not! Wish you best of luck! 📿
Maybe
22 APs plus 7 math classes might be enough
Hey
@cerulean sail
This one is inconclusive right?
wait
I’m stupid
I just ignore the 1^
N
Bc it’s gonna be -1 anyways
I think it gets you inconclusive if you do it by ratio test
But you could check that it's absolutely convergent
Compare it to the series
$$\sum_{n} \frac{4}{n^2 + n + 1} \leq \sum_{n} \frac{4}{n^2}$$ (make denominator smaller)
Wait what
chartbit
Inconclusive by ratio test?
If I've done my workings right, I get that it is [though I may have messed up of course!]
Oh yes
Bc it’s n^2 over n^2
Ah yes
No no dw this is a ratio test assignment so
It says there’s some that could be inconclusive by
Ratio test
Ahhh fair, I was just about to ask whether they wanted you to use ratio test and then say it converges/diverges/inconclusive by it
In fact I think for the first one you could even say that it's a decreasing positive sequence you're summing that's then made alternating, which would mean it's at least conditionally convergent
The first one I sent?
Ngl I only learned ab this stuff 1 hour ago so idk what that meant
Ya this one, I'm just thinking out loud tho so if it doesn't make sense or you haven't come across what I'm saying ignore me 
Lemme try it out too so I can check your steps better 
Ok:)
Odieeeeeee omg 
?
Lol
,w sum (6^(-2n) (n-4))/(4^(3 - 2n) (2 - n^2)) n from 3 to inf
I get 16/36 I think
This 6^(-2), what happened to it?
No no, looks about right to me, I get inconclusive too!
U did it already?
Did it earlier as I thought it would be inconclusive haha
I only wish
I'm not as good as I look most days haha
How old r u?
Can't say either 
R u in college?

isn't that the same problem that you came here with half an hour or so ago?
and why are you consistently spelling it "Pennie's" and not "pennies", i wonder?
so, you have found that the students collected a total of 26,409 pennies, and you know that their goal is 30,000.
@arctic stump
... no need to reply-ping me this often.
and you are one step away from the answer
they have 26,409 pennies but need 30,000. how many more pennies do they need?
no... that doesn't make any sense.
how can they need a greater number of pennies than they set their goal to
by your logic, if i asked you "You want to buy a book for 30 dollars, but you have 25 dollars in your wallet. How much are you missing?" you would answer "I am missing 55 dollars."
exactly, and how did you get 5?
you filled in the blank in 25 + __ = 30
...did you simply guess that, though? or did the idea of "subtraction" cross your mind at least once
so you did subtract 25 (the amount you have) from 30 (the amount you need), yes?
well then,
it's just the same with your penny-collectors.
there's the amount they have (26,409) and the amount they need (30,000) and you need to find the difference between these...
with all due respect, i've said it both directly and not already.
so YES YOU DO HAVE TO SUBTRACT.
you subtracted them the wrong way around
you should have had 30,000 - 26,409 = 3,591
it is really the same principle as with the "how many dollars short am i for that $30 book" problem
only the numbers are different
but the logic is the exact same

Yes i already found that
Ok
but angle pxy
You can see xy) = yz) = 50
If i draw this pt
Yzt) is 130
Pxy angle is half it

Can somebody explain to me what I am doing wrong?
Solution is supposed to be = 24/7
why do did it separately
I thought it is easier to do it like that to find the geometric series
But I guess it just does not work
after multiplying you would get r = -1/6
then 4 * 1/(1+1/6) = 4 * 6/7 = 24/7
what you did gives product of sums of two geometric series
Where exactly?
Modus
So I am using wrong brackets

first of all you should apply exponent laws to the constant, meaning you should do (-2)^2
also, 3 times 2 is 6, not 5
it's just using this rule
you need to apply ^2 to the constant (-2)

hi i am confused on how to solve this
my thought proccess is that i
need to get the meters per minute first
so i did 5x60 to get 300 m/min
you meant "i need to convert the speed into meters per minute"
calling it "the meters per minute" is like calling a distance "the feet"
ya
a bit silly at best
anyway yeah sure you do need to bring the units for time and speed into alignment
whether that's with s and m/s or min and m/min
so theres nothing wrong as such with what you wrote thus far
but after that since the question says i need to only find the distance to the telephone pole dont i need to divide 15 by 2
to get 7.5
what does the number 15 represent?
how many minutes it takes for him to go to the telephone and back
exactly, it's the time for the journey.
dividing it by 2 would again give a time, not a distance...
i was going to get to that...
but you blurted out some nonsense i had to address.
@rotund grotto you will refrain from such vile behavior.
the man's journey consists of two legs: running toward the phone and back from the phone
we note that the distances of these two legs are of course the same, since it's the same space being covered.
however, the speeds are different (5 m/s there, but 4 m/s back), and so the times are different too.
that means you cannot simply divide the total time by 2 to find the time taken for each leg.
do you understand this?
shit you are right
i'll also work with seconds as my time unit, so the total time will be 900 seconds
\begin{tabular}{c||c|c|c}
Leg & Speed, m/s & Distance, m & Time, s \
\hline
Forward & 5 & & \
Back & 4 & & \
\hline
Total & --- & --- & 900
\end{tabular}
this is of course not yet a complete table
Ann
please don't call me bro
sorry, i had to disappear for a few minutes
is there something that troubles you about this table?
my bad
mind you, this table is not yet complete. all i'm doing is filling in the immediately-known data.
oh i see
so i am guessing what i have to figure is the distance for 5m/s and 4m/s
is that right?
no
we'll get to this in a moment
the angle i want to suggest with this problem is as follows:
instead of finding the distance, let's find the time taken for each leg.
we do not yet know these times, but that's okay, since we can introduce a variable to represent one of them.
for example, let's use the letter t to represent the time for the forward leg.
\begin{tabular}{c||c|c|c}
Leg & Speed, m/s & Distance, m & Time, s \
\hline
Forward & 5 & & $t$ \
Back & 4 & & \
\hline
Total & --- & --- & 900
\end{tabular}
Ann
like this
then, since the total time is known to be 900 seconds, the time for the back leg will of course be 900 - t.
\begin{tabular}{c||c|c|c}
Leg & Speed, m/s & Distance, m & Time, s \
\hline
Forward & 5 & & $t$ \
Back & 4 & & $900-t$ \
\hline
Total & --- & --- & 900
\end{tabular}
Ann
do you understand this?
ya i do
okay
can you now tell me
what is the distance for the forward leg, in terms of t, based on this table?
you know the formula distance = speed * time, yes...?
ya i do
right
but i dont know t
you don't know t, yes
but i said to answer in terms of t
this means that your answer to my question can (and should!) include the letter t
4 * 900 - t
careful
there's something in there you're missing
do you want to try and fix it yourself or do you want me to tell you what it is
i dont know what i am missing
you are missing parentheses around the 900-t
you meant 4(900-t), but the way you said it, only the 900 was being multiplied by 4,
\begin{tabular}{c||c|c|c}
Leg & Speed, m/s & Distance, m & Time, s \
\hline
Forward & 5 & $5t$ & $t$ \
Back & 4 & $4(900-t)$ & $900-t$ \
\hline
Total & --- & --- & 900
\end{tabular}
Ann
to bring the table back
and now,
we note that the distances of these two legs are of course the same, since it's the same space being covered.
can you write this as an equation?
9 * 900
this is not an equation and it is also pointless
then what do i do
the distances of these two legs are the same
no
i want you to write an equation which says "The distances of the forward and back legs are the same."
i want you to write an equation which says "The distance of the forward leg equals the distance of the back leg."
i don't know how else to put it.
how would i do that
do you know how to solve linear equations in one variable?
i think
dont i have to remove the t or something
oh ya i have to remove it on one side
so then i would get like 6t = 4* 900
6t = 4 * (900)
6t = 3600
6 * 600 = 3600
t = 600
ok i think i got that part
@small gyro Has your question been resolved?
no
@small gyro Has your question been resolved?
@small gyro sorry, was off to do irl things
dont i have to remove the t or something
oh ya i have to remove it on one side
so then i would get like 6t = 4* 900
this is incorrect
well you were supposed to expand 4(900 - t) into 3600 - 4t
so you would then have 5t = 3600 - 4t
add 4t to both sides to get 9t = 3600
oh
ok i tried solving for a bit and got this
9/3600s = 400
t = 400
5 * 400 = 2000
4 * 500 = 2000
i am assuming that i was supposed to get 2000 for both equations
yes, the fact that you got the same distance means everything worked out correctly

i need help
!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
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
so I got (5x-1)(x+2-3i)(x+2+3i)
but i got 5x^3+19x^2+61x-13 after solving it
which isnt viable with any of the soltuions
so i just go x-1/5 and made it 5x-1
Double check your roots
and the 2+3i, i just did 2+3i and 2-3i
Your roots are 2+3i and 2-3i
ye
So why did you do (x+2+3i) and (x+2-3i)?
If so, then why did you do (5x-1) for your root of 1/5?
If a is a root of your polynomial, then (x-a) is its factor
so can u apply it to this
If I told you a quadratic had roots 3 and 5, how would you find its equation?
(x+3)(x+5)
is it because its x=3 and then x-3=0?
ok so now what
Figure out what you did wrong here

why when factoring a quadratic equation, why does he multiply a times c?
what does the -45 have anything to do with it?
is it some specific method?
this is called the sum-product method
so original equation is 9x^2-12x-5=0, he decides to pull out a*c to help find your b value
9*-5=-45
list out all the multiples for -45
and find 2 multiples where the sum is your b constant
so in this case the 15*3 multiple is desired because -15+3=-12 which is exactly our b constant
from there, we have 9x^2-15x+3x-5=0. we group terms and factor out the greatest common multiple.
9x^2+3x would be grouped and -15x-5 would be grouped
greatest common multiple for both terms are 3x+1
factor 3x+1 from 9x^2+3x, we get 3x.
factoring 3x+1 from -15x-5, we get -5
(3x-5) (3x+1).

- show what you have tried and explain your thought process
- have you made use of the hints given to you?
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
but also @alpine spire why did you choose to spam your problem across every single help channel

Q.16
I don't know what to do to start. I notice that it has no roots(i cant find in factorization) and also there might hv no mid point (cus there has no roots). I don't know what n where to start with.
NEONPerseus
put it into vertex form
Value of h aka axis of symmetry
(x-3)^2-9+15=y, y=(x-3)^2+6 so h=3
Oh I didn't notice the edit I'm sorry
I wrote the answer besides the questions , i still hv no idea how
is fine
Do you know how to differentiate
Since i dont understand that word i guess i don't
You don't need to but it would make life easy
Alright cool
As Azo said, put it into vertex form
Which is basically completing the squarw
for a quadratic of form $y=ax^2+bx+c$ (a is 1 here so ill just make typing this easier) $y=x^2+bx+c$ so $y=[(x+\frac{b}{2})^2-(\frac{b}{2})^2]+c$ then $y=(x+\frac{b}{2})^2 +[c-(\frac{b}{2})^2]$
Azo
Emm... i hv never seen that (in my place)
you could also solve the equation youve made here, you get x^2-6x+9=0 so (x-3)^2=0 so x=3 still
if thats easier?
Yes! but what about 9 ?

Hi, I need some clarity on this question here.
by max and min, are they asking which sequence is larger and smaller respectively?
if they are, shouldn't lim->M and lim->m both exist? (Making 3rd option true)
no
theyre defining a sequence given by
taking the individual max
so for example M1 is max of x1 and y1
ah, so they are forming a sequence M by taking the larger term of sequence x and y from every iteration?
Even then, both M and m should have limits since they will take the nth term of x and y which would be convergent
you should prove that
I will try
I can make sense of statements in my head but I absolutely suck at writing proofs somehow
Anyways, thanks for the clarification
