ok so firstly
if you look at the graph of cos(x), you can see that it's symmetric vertically across the y-axis
mathematically that means that cos(x) = cos(-x)
and therefore cos(-2x/3) = cos(2x/3)
mhm
and then cos(2x/3) just goes 2/3 times as fast as cos(x), right
so that's like before
like
cos(x) goes from 1 to -1 between 0 and pi
cos(2x/3) does it two-thirds as fast
it goes from 1 to -1 between 0 and 3pi
no
@ashen kite
so you can see it's squished, right
it goes to 0 fast, and then it goes to -1 slower
that's not right
it should take the same amount of time to get to 0 as it does to get to -1
yes
says it was incorrect
well you didn't do the -2cos thing
you didn't do the amplitude
you shifted it down correctly
whats the difference?
shift it back up, it's easier
ok so starting from here
ok so basically cos(x) is like, you go down and then you go up
-cos(x) is you flip it across the x-axis
you go up and then you go down
so flip the whoel thing?
starting from -1 at x = 0 and going up to 1 and then going back down
yeah basically
but unshift it first
the -2 flips the cos but not the shift
right yeah so that'd be just -cos(whatever)
so you want -2cos(whatever), so also stretch it again
by 1?
double it
yeah
adding 1 is the wrong way to think about it because you're multiplying
so yeah it's like that
and then just vertically shift
so yeah we can test it by putting a random value in
so at x = 0 i said it should be -sqrt(2) - 2
and that looks like it agrees with this graph
so it's probably right
dang it

notice that you have 3 right triangles there
let's name the unnamed sides
start by using Pythagorean's theorem on all 3 triangles
hmm
First of all the smaller triangle is a right angle triangle
its square root of 25 x is equal to 10
square both sides and you get 25x = 100
x=4
thanks though
And then you use use similar triangles to solve it
Okay

Could someone explain this step by step
use the sin^-1 in your calculator
find 0 <= x <= 360 such that sin(x) = 0.34
also if you draw a sin graph
you can see that there are multiple x coordinates
that will satisfy sinx = 0.34
I don't think there's a well known value for this so just use a calculator

how do I calculate a norm of a line segment using the starting point and ending point
By norm you mean the distance, right?
yes
I assume the coordinates are under the form (x,y), right? In that case, just use Pythagoras
oh yeah, alrighty Ty bro
Namely: $\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

given a bag of 5 unique marbles, draw and replace marbles continuously, how many times must you have drawn from the bag to say with 80% confidence that you have drawn at least 20 of each marble```
the solution I arrived at was to use a binomial survival function
k = 20, p = 0.2
I then started with n = 100, and incremented by +1
the answer I arrived at was 122, resulting in a probability of ~0.81, is this correct?
I was also wondering how I might find the inverse of this function
such that given a confidence interval, k, and p, it would output n
Unless incrementing n until the target confidence interval is reached is the only solution

since you're drawing with replacement, can't you just consider drawing each marble as its own separate binomial thingy
oh wait no
I swear I'm suffering from cognitive decline already
ultimately you could eventually use a normal approximation
but hmm
you might just be stuck doing binary search on computing probabilities for the given n

i got AOD ~ BOC, AOF ~ COE and BOE ~ DOF. but i am not sure what to do next
rearrange the first equation to get CF = BD * BC / AB, and the second equation to get BC = AD * CF / AC.
how do you argue this? (i think it is not true in the general case of a trapezoid - but maybe i have a different understanding of a trapezoid)
Substituting the expression for CF from the first equation into the second equation, BC = AD * BD * BC / (AB * AC)
simplifies to: AB * AC = AD * BD
i dont understand how you got this
@kindred hornet Has your question been resolved?
In a pair of similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion. So, we can write:
AB/BC = BD/CF and AD/BC = AC/CF
We want to express CF in terms of AB, BC, AD, and AC, so we can rearrange the first equation to solve for CF:
CF = BD * BC / AB
Similarly, we can rearrange the second equation to solve for BC: BC = AD * CF / AC
Substituting the expression for CF from the first equation into the second equation, we get:
BC = AD * BD * BC / (AB * AC)
which can be simplified to:
AB * AC = AD * BD
which similiar triangles are you using for AB/BC = BD/CF? ABD and BCF or what?

✅
why CF
are you talking about this orange line?
yes, but now I have to go so I can not continue to help you, sry
i'll continue
so this is a question using similarity ratios
you can tell that ABO and COD are similar
therefore AO:CO=x:y
you can also tell that COE and CAB are similar, therefore BE:EC=AO:OC=x:y
@kindred hornet still there?
oh right yes
i agree
great
so your goal here is to express each FO and EO using x and y
just focus on the triangles out lined in blue
like I said earlier, COE and CAB are similar
and their ratio is CE:CB = y:x+y
you had BE:EC=x:y earlier.
oh sorry I meant CB
I'm running out of time so
since the similarity ratio is y:x+y, OE:AB=y:x+y
so OE=ABy/(x+y) = xy/(x+y)
following the same steps, find OF (use the similarity between DOF and DBA)

prove that there is only one right triangle which sides are NEXT even numbers
i did the quadratic formula and calculeted roots but there has to be only one triangle with next even numbers
but there are two roots that meet the assumption
n2=-1 you can't have a triangle with negative sides

A pond grows over with algae. The surface covered by algae doubles every day. After 17 days, half of the pond is covered with algae.
After how many days will the lake be completely covered with algae?
how to approach these type of problems?
So you can start with the form that these equations will take @little trellis
Which will be
y = e^ax
may i ask why a ?
Well we don't know what a is
It may be 1
It may be 5
It may be ln(2)
But we do know it's an exponential growth
i thought its something like the factor for growing ^time
like 1,04^10 for 4% on the 10 year timespan
or is this something different?
Acc this should be y = a e^bx
do you have an idea on how to solve this
i wrote a bunch of equations but didnt really get a result
You just need to use the information you have
You have 2
Pieces of information
Which you can use to make 2 equations
Which you will use to find a and b
One is that it doubles every x increment
The other is that it's half the pool at x = 17
so would you begin by finding the factor of growth?
Yes
This would be finding out what b is
You can use the information that it doubles every x increment
Wait 1,5?
Also no no.
keep it as y = a*e^bx
This will cover everything
You merely need to find out what b is firstly
I'll give you the starter
if x = c.
And we get
d = a*e^bc
And since it doubles every increment
Then that means x = c + 1
Should give us
2d = a*e^b(c+1)
Now find out what b is
From those 2 equations I've just listed
@little trellis
i can try but im having big difficulty because of all the letters
To not confuse you. You can replace c with x. And d with y
So
y = a*e^bx
And
2y = a*e^b(x+1)
i didnt manage to calculate but i was wondering... is the factor of growth just 2?
Yh lmao
so after 17 days half of the pond is covered and after 18 days 100% is covered?
The reason why i made you do this in a roundabout way
Yh
But questions are usually never that straight forward
You need a rigorous approach
That will always work
Regardless of complexity
man im struggling with the formula
Which parts
Remember that e^ax is the same as (e^a)^x
And so e^a
Can be any number
If a is ln3 then e^a is 3. And so e^ax is 3^x
This formula is not special or anything
It's just the most general formula there is
For exponential growth
im not sure what its called in english but in german we call it "stetiges Wachstum" or "diskretes Wachstum"
stetig is like continuous
This is diskretes wachtsum i assume
and diskret means like every day/week/year i guess
so we just used that one for our calculation i guess?
We can use the continuous one
Works here
Usually continuous can work for discrete. But not the other way round.
we use y = ae^bx. But we just say that x will only be 1 2 3 and 4 ....
but why does this one just have ^t and not 2 numbers as in ^bx like in yours?
t stands for the time
Remember that
e^bx
Can be written as
(e^b)^x
And e^b is Ultimately just another number
It could even be 3
Or 4
We can write this as lets say C
Then we'd have
e^bx = C^x
may i ask how you would have solved this problem number wise? like what would your equation have looked like with input numbers?
well we'd have y = a*e^bx
2y = a*e^b(x+1)
Then we'd divide equation 2 by equation 1
And so
2 = e^b
b = ln2
So e^(ln2 x) = 2^x
Then we'd have y = a*2^x
We'd substitute x = 17
And y = 0.5P
So we'd have
0.5P = a2^17
a = 2^-18 * P
And so
y = P*2^(x-18)
When y = P
2^(x-18) = 1
So
x - 18 = 0
x = 18
@little trellis
You could skip the first part by immediately realising e^b should be 2
Since the equation needs to be a*2^x
But other questions wont make it so obvious
thank you a lot for all the help

they simplified 3/81 to 1/27 and used the fact that cos = 1/sec
there is a pretty big lack of dx and d theta 
The d is lacking in this one.

can anyone help me understand how we got $
square root of 26 from here? https://i.imgur.com/RTmDlfT.png
the answer is https://i.imgur.com/nUROZHC.png
my answers were all relative
so like tan theta = 5, sin theta/ cos theta = 5, so sin theta = 5 cos theta
and cos theta = sin theta / 5
all of that is right but cos theta is supposed to evaluate to 1/square root of 26
how am I supposed to get that without a calculator?
no my full prompt is to evaluate https://i.imgur.com/zBOJPHg.png
Oh I see
So you used different trig properties
But there is actually a way we can draw a triangle to figure out all of our side lengths
And then use our new triangle to figure out what is cos of our angle theta
So if tan of theta is 5 for example
Tangent is opposite over adjacent (from soh cah toa)
So if we draw a right triangle, we can choose either of the non-right angles to be theta
5 is the same as 5/1, so if tangent is opposite over adjacent, the opposite side will be 5, and the adjacent side will be 1
Do you know how we can find the third side length (the hypotenuse)?
That's ok, I've had problems where I had to draw a triangle like this too and I didnt think of it at all until i've seen it at least once
Did you figure out how to get the answer they got now?
For sure

hey guys can someone help me graph this
$$f\left(x\right)=\cos\left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$$
Lex1729
from 0 to 2pi
Here is my working
basically I know the amplitude is 1, and I found the period by using the formula above
I also know that the phase shift is pi/3, when finding this out I added it on to my period.
although I'm just confused about the "from 0 to 2pi" part what does this really mean?
is it just asking for one period?

how do I graph this?
consider the parent function cos(x)
and then apply the appropriate graph transformation
How so?
are you implying that
cos(-pi/3) is equal to 1?
and that cos(x) exceeds 1 for values of x between 0 and pi/3
and that
cos(2pi - pi/3) is 0?
Cause cosine graphs start at the top I assumed it would start at the amplitude right?
the normal cosine graph yes,
but the end goal isn't to graph that
So the amplitude is one, there is no vertical shift, but how come the y-intercept is wrong?
My initial graph was this
well it was wrong because you assumed without any work that the y-int would be the same as the graph of cos(x)
consider how you'd find the y-intercepts of any function
I would set x=0
yes
nope to both double edits
firstly your calculator is in degrees when it should be in radians
secondly you shouldnt be using your calculator as pi/3 is special angle
no
well the first thing you should do is to simplify the 0-pi/3 inside to just -pi/3 giving
cos(-pi/3)
Yes and what would I do next?
evaluate that without a calculator
considering properties of cosine and special angles
I’m not sure how to do that
are you more comfortable working with degrees?
i.e if I gave you
cos(-60°)
would you be able to evaluate that without a calculator
so you don't know the special angles and their respective ratios?
Nope
you should learn those
Ok but can we just do this first
for now just use your calculator
so
cos(-pi/3) = 1/2,
and that will be your y-int, (not 1)
Ok so cos(-pi/2) = 0.5 radians
*-pi
it's still equal considering cos is an even function
Ok so after writing 1/2 as my y-intercept what is my next step?

Hi everyone! A proof I'm reading looks to evaluate $\frac{d}{d t} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}|\Psi(x, t)|^{2} d x$. First it starts off by moving the derivative inside the integral $$\frac{d}{d t} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}|\Psi(x, t)|^{2} d x=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\partial}{\partial t}|\Psi(x, t)|^{2} dx$$ and simplifies $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}|\Psi|^{2}$, which is $$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}|\Psi|^{2}=\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi^{} \frac{\partial^{2} \Psi}{\partial x^{2}}-\frac{\partial^{2} \Psi^{}}{\partial x^{2}} \Psi\right)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left[\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi^{} \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial \Psi^{}}{\partial x} \Psi\right)\right].$$ But then they use this to evaluate the integral, by which I mean they state $$\frac{d}{d t} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}|\Psi(x, t)|^{2} d x=\left.\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi^{} \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial \Psi^{}}{\partial x} \Psi\right)\right|_{-\infty} ^{+\infty}$$.
My question is: where did the $\frac{\partial}{\partial x}$ from $\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left[\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi^{} \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial \Psi^{}}{\partial x} \Psi\right)\right]$ go? Why are we able to use $\frac{i \hbar}{2 m}\left(\Psi^{} \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial \Psi^{}}{\partial x} \Psi\right)\right$ directly?

I was expecting to see something like `(' or `\{' or
`\}' here. If you typed, e.g., `{' instead of `\{', you
should probably delete the `{' by typing `1' now, so that
braces don't get unbalanced. Otherwise just proceed.
Acceptable delimiters are characters whose \delcode is
nonnegative, or you can use `\delimiter <delimiter code>'.```
the intuitive explanation is that the dx cancels in the numerator and denominator
ah i see
thanks!
since this is physics, i feel like that's all i really need haha

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
can you expand the exponents of the numerator?
what do you think it would be?
x⁴?
²
what do you think it is?
multiply
is (2²)⁸ the same as 2^10 ?
let them figure it out on their own
no
so what do you think (x⁴)² would be?
yeah but they have to knew the rules first then try to solve problems
x⁸
factorize after squaring 36?
since the question wants us to express it using 2 and 3 (and x, of course)
or factorize 36
you can factorize 36 first, then square it, using the power of product rule I sent you
actually I should've told you to factorize the whole thing first, mb
2² × 3²
yes
so the numerator would be
( 2² × 3² × x⁴ ) ^2
now apply the power of product rule
4⁴×9⁴×x⁸?
no
consider 2 and 3 variables if this confuses you
2 and 3 should not change- only the exponents should
2⁴×3⁴×x⁸?
yes
so now we've factorized the numerator, let's focus on the denominator
can you factorize 8x^2 ?
8²x²?
you should keep in mind that 8x² and (8x)² are different
right now you're doing 8x²
can you prime factorize 8 first?
2
2 is a prime factor of 8, but 8≠2
2³
great
so 8x² would be 2³x²
now we need 2³x² × 3x
ill seperate it into 2³ × x² × 3 × x
do you know what x² × x would be?
x³
good

I am a little confused, lets say my probability density function is x/2, and it asks me to find PDF of Y
is there any way to find it other than finding the CDF first and then taking the derivative of it?
well how is Y defined
can you express Y in terms of X?
in books solution it got it from finding the CDF first and then getting the PDF, which i understand and makes sense, but how would i find it if i didnt have the CDF
60X?
there's a formula for getting the pdf of Y directly from the pdf of X, does this look familiar?
that's assuming Y is a monotonic function of X
it gets more complicated otherwise
right
oh i am not familiar with that formula
in this case you would have Y = g(x) = 60x
so g^-1(y) = y/60
and you can compute the derivative yourself haha
ah i see
not as complicated as it looks
so no time lost

o
i know the area is 1/2 x b x h for the unshaded sector, but idk how to find the height
nor can i find the length of the curved side
i mean idk how to
Do you know the formula to find the area of a not right angle triangle?
alright np
so do you know what one angle in an equilateral triangle is
60
1/2 x 2 x 2 sin 60
yeah and what do you get
wait why are there 2 formulas btw
wdym
it’s the diagram that they had, they labelled it differently so they just changed the layers of the formula
does that make sense?
yea
so this should be
2 times sin 60
is this correct?

can anyone help with part 3?
the question essentially asks you to prove Goldbach's weak conjecture, taking the main conjecture as a theorem
what have you tried
I tried making 2n = one prime + another prime and then making 2n +1 = the sum of 3 primes but didn't get anywhere
where n >= 3
well
what if you take 2n + 3?
for an odd number
instead of the traditional 2n + 1
thank you I rly should have thought of that
no worries

Given that y = p and dp/dx = 1.
What is integration of y in terms of x?
Prove it as i shall learn from you
Um im asking a question currently?
Anyway, do i just let p = x and make y = x?
I have no idea how to solve tbh
Differentiate the first expression wrt x
y = p
What would you get?
dy/dp = 1
Wrt to x not p
What is wrt
With respect to
Yeah that works as well I suppose
Owh
Then y = x + c, then integrate y in term of x = x²/2 + cx + C?
@vagrant elbow
If it is correct, then what happen if y = p² and dp/dx = 1?
dy/dp = 2p, so dy/dx = 2p
But then when I integrate dy/dx, what should I do with p?
<@&286206848099549185>
what with the cx?
When u integrate u will have constant c
If u integrate again, that c will become cx
Is there anything wrong?
No it's just y = x + c
Eh??
Integrate y again will still be x + c??
You need to find y(x) right
I need to find integral of y
Ah then yeah integrate it again
So integral y = y²/2 + cx + C
Correct?
If it is correct, then what happen if y = p² and dp/dx = 1?
dy/dp = 2p, so dy/dx = 2p
But then when I integrate dy/dx, what should I do with p?
@swift moth Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
bro
What
Initially y = p
For 2nd question, y = p²
@hexed orbit
I really need some help
No the constants will become 0
plz help me
what do u need
Y is just like a function , f(x) = x^2 + C etc
thx
Like a axis of xOy
I mean integrate of y?
Then how about this?
How to solve this when p is right there?
@tender linden in case u missed the msg ima ping u first
Umm.. buddy
I dunno if I'm being dumb or anything
But ig u gotta integrate dp/dx=1
Which gives p = x + c
Then substitute y=p
Which gives y=x+c
Hence, its integral will be (x^2)/2 + cx?
Owhhhhhh
If using this method, can i do this:
Question: Find integral of y where y = p² and dp/dx = 1.
Solution:
dp/dx = 1, p = x + c
Substitute ±sqrt(y) = p:
±sqrt(y) = x + c, y = x² + 2cx + c²
Hence, integral of y = x³/3 + cx² + c²x + C
Is this correct?
<@&286206848099549185> last helper ping
So far no
Thanks for verify tho!!!
If there is some condition i will just substitute in the value to find c and C

Factor out x from the denominator and then factor 16-x using difference of squares
Hint: use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a - b)
Well yeah that's the difference of squares, which I just told them to use lol
x(16-x)
Is right
Then factor 16-x using difference of squares
Note that you'll get square roots
wait it isnt? x(16-x^2)
and that would be -x(x^2 - 4^2) = -x(x-4)(x+4)
Anyways notice how b^2 = x
That should help you with the difference of squares issue
Once you do that, you can start cancelling factors to simplify the fraction
Because there's a removable discontinuity at x = 16
whatd i write wrong?
the x(x-4)(x+4) ?
oh yea
just take x(4-sqrt(x))(4+sqrt(x)) instead
then they would simplify and the limit will be 1/x(4+sqrt(x) = 1(16(4+ 4) = 1/16 * 8
Something like this lol
yea i was going the wrong way ill do that now
much better
so for difference of squares i square the bottom left which gives me x(4+sqrtx)(4-sqrtx)
like this?
thx

need help integrating, i don’t know how the answer outcomes to 2 in front of ln
yes and thanks 🙂
So what do we have here? Seems like an nice integral.
Ok and you want to use u-substitution, ok.
yes
If you have substituted u as x-1, so x+1 wouldn't be (u +2)?
Gaming, I do agree with this.
A great way to avoid errors is practicing clean notation. It may take several tries on some scratch paper.
im so confused on where the +2 comes from, like how does that come about?
I thought id need to get a negative out of the numerator?
So, it seems gaming was ineffective as I estimated. Let's start over.
Tell me. What's was your thought process?
i thought to take out a negative (-1)and get an x-1 in the numerator
Then what?
well, i did my math wrong, because if I acually took out a -1 properly, id be left with just u/u
???
the numerator would be -(-x-1)
drsleep
You sau we pull out a negative one. So, let's try that.
drsleep
$\frac{x-1+2}{x-1}$
hibyehibye
split into two fractions, makes this rly easy
There is something you're not getting, @crimson sedge. Which I believe our friend does not know what to substitute. So, this point in the explanation is ahead of the position they're in.
I guess, I just think they should have done this before substituting in the first place
the equation, so itle be -(x+1)/ -(-x-1)
like I dont see the point of this, seems overly complicated
but i might just be missing something didnt rly read the question properly
What does it mean to pull -1 from x+1?
This is a critically vague word. We must use mathematical words.
This word pull or take out, as you said?
When I say pull I mean reverse distribute.
okay, yea
That is, if ab+ac, then a(b+c)
But do you mean subtract?
I wouldn't suggest subtraction.
Now that I am on my laptop, I can better help.
Hello, @wraith dagger bot, Are you awake?
drsleep
You would like to use u-subsitution, right?
yes
x-1?
What about x-1?
wanna substitute x-1 so, id like to get it in the numerator aswell'
So, let us now define u as x-1 with the statement u=x-1.
And you say you wan to get it in the numerator? So you want to replace something in the numerator?
Unfortunately, we have x+1 and not x-1? how do you intend to use u=x-1 to get it in?
well i thought taking a -1 out would get that but I'm starting to think thats not the right direction
And then, -x-1 not equals x-1
drsleep
what are we trying to do anyways?
what's the process called?
It's called...
...
are you talking about taking the derivative?
no
what integrating process are we doing here?
what is the name of the process?
u-subsitution?
to get the integral
we are substituting for the variable x
because these variables x are too are to integrate as far as we know
we need to remove every instance of x
into something in terms of u
we handled the denominator. now we need to some how rewrite the numerator.
how can we rewrite x+1 into terms of u with the definition u = x-1
we cant substitute the whole x+1 away. so can we just replace x on its own?
that would have to require that we define x
but we dont have a definition for x?
we do have a definition for u and we could use it to define x
make it contain x-1?
what i am saying is equivalent to: how can I get x alone in u=x-1?
so if you do something to one side....
for the equation to be equal, for it to be balanced, we must...
add 1 to the bottom?
wait, to make things simple, I could've just done (x-1)+2 because that is equal to x+1
so if we have u=x-1, and we add 1 on the left side, what do we do to the right?
we can do that too
but it would also mean, u+1 = x
and we sub that in to get, x+1=(u+1)+1
=u+2
drsleep
yes, it all makes sense now, ty
its so simple now that I udnerstand that I couldve done it that way, thanks
