#

and then I plug it in

cosmic steppe
#

Yeah so now you do $\frac{\sqrt{78} - \sqrt{14}}{-9 - (-1)}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

crimson sedge
#

wait

#

i have a doubt

cosmic steppe
#

I graphed the secant

#

And the points

crimson sedge
#

in the formula u gave y2 1st

cosmic steppe
#

Doesn't matter

crimson sedge
#

signs do matter

cosmic steppe
#

If you switch the top and bottom

crimson sedge
#

oh ok

cosmic steppe
#

If you switch one but not the other it won't work

#

If you switch the order of both it doesn't matter: -1/-1 = 1

crimson sedge
#

is that -1

still hedge
#

-0.636

#

is the answer?

cosmic steppe
#

-1/-1 is 1

crimson sedge
#

bruh

#

root 78 - root14

#

is root 64 which is positive

#

so 8 / - 9 + 1

still hedge
#

so the answer rounding up to the nearest hundredth is -.64 right

cosmic steppe
#

root(78) - root(14) is not root(64)

crimson sedge
#

then?

cosmic steppe
#

The hell you getting root 64 from

crimson sedge
#

then how did u even do?

cosmic steppe
#

$\sqrt{b} - \sqrt{a} \neq \sqrt{b-a}$. This violates exponent laws.

wraith daggerBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

cosmic steppe
crimson sedge
#

wait what

#

bruh

cosmic steppe
#

If you let b = 25 and a = 16

#

Well that's a bad example

still hedge
#

that was right

cosmic steppe
#

If you let b = 64 and a = 4

still hedge
#

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

LETS GO

#

thank u umbra

cosmic steppe
#

Would sqrt(64) - sqrt(4) = sqrt(60)?

still hedge
#

now I do not have to redo the entire thing

crimson sedge
#

no

#

its 8 - 2

#

i messed up!

summer igloo
#

So, I got this whacky math question that says a kid on a swing can be represented as a sinusoidal function or graph. Man, that is hard to visualize considering they really only go back and forth (changing directions) over a half circle path.

full trail
#

going in a circle is not what defines that specific motion

#

think what a revolution would be defined as in this situation

vapid pewter
#

I think it is saying that the height of the person on the swing can be represented as a sinograph

summer igloo
#

He starts at 270 degree full stop, he pushes back to 180 to build up energy, he releases and swings up to 0 degrees which represents a half cycle and he follows same path back to 180 degree for a full cycle.

slow thicket
#

time is the x axis

#

height is the y axis

vapid pewter
#

what that guy said

summer igloo
#

But you still gotta use sine or cosine in the final formula

slow thicket
#

well yeah

#

draw it out

summer igloo
#

But how would I know what angle the kid is at when they say he pushes back and he is 1m away from center? That doesn't tell anything of an angle.

#

He is 1m away from center at all times, no?

#

He doesn't get any further or any closer by swinging on a swing.

slow thicket
#

the straight line from the kid to the center is the same

#

but the height is differen

#

i dont even know what the question is

summer igloo
#

Yes, that I can see in my head but it's bizarre how they tell me he's 1m away from center as he pushes back.

#

That's not gonna change anywhere.

slow thicket
#

you really ought to draw it out

#

270 is vertical

#

180 is horizontal

summer igloo
#

Yes, I stated that above

flint plinth
#

the sinusoidal thing is only an approximate solution, and it's only valid if the total angle that the kid (pendulum) swings is small

slow thicket
#

that can be safely assumed bungo

flint plinth
#

so it's not really true that if he starts at 270 degrees as stated...

#

that it would be sinusoidal

slow thicket
#

they swing up to 0 degrees

flint plinth
#

unless they're assuming forces other than gravity and the chain

slow thicket
#

from 180 to 0

summer igloo
#

Let's just assume it's a normal kid and he follows that path, getting above 180 or 0 is dangerous. 🙂

slow thicket
vapid pewter
#

I think the reason the question specifies that the kid is always 1m away from the center is telling you the range of the equation you need to make

summer igloo
#

Okay, thank you for the help on this one. I'll try to figure this out again.

what's your work

hollow kraken
#

@radiant topaz

radiant topaz
#

you got a quadratic right

#

when does a quadratic have one answer?

hollow kraken
#

b^2 - 4ac = 0 ??

radiant topaz
#

i think so

hollow kraken
#

so what do i do now ?

radiant topaz
hollow kraken
#

how ?

radiant topaz

what is b what is a what is c here

#

x^2 -4x + (2-m) = 0

#

ask the question

high axle
#

How do I figure this out

runic garnet
#

Know that the greatest angle will be opposite the side with the greatest length

#

See if u can go from there

high axle
#

How do I know the numbers of the sides

#

It doesnt show me the value of the sides

runic garnet
#

U don’t need to

runic garnet
high axle
runic garnet
high axle
#

But how do I know what side is the greatest length?

#

If i dont know what its worth

high axle
#

Oh

#

So

#

Would it be

#

CB CA BA?

high axle
runic garnet
#

No

#

That’s incorrect

high axle
#

Hmm

runic garnet
#

What’s the largest angle

high axle
#

90

runic garnet
#

What side is opposite the 90 degree angle

high axle
#

Ba?

runic garnet
#

Yes

high axle
#

So its

#

BA CA CB?

runic garnet
#

Explain ur reasoning

high axle
#

25 is opposite

#

Of CA

#

And 8 is opposite

#

Of CB

smoky stump

smoky stump
#

does anyone know whether this is true or not?

#

I'm not really sure

#

I think it is

#

but I want other people's opinion

crimson delta
#

Do some examples

smoky stump
#

Is this proof even right?

#

This is from a friend

#

but like I se a problem with this

#

beacuse for some reasons, I think it is false

#

nevermind this proof is right

crimson delta
#

Well it's not greatly worded

#

You should first define what h and g are and then show that hog is surjective while g is not

#

Not just "because we defined hog to be surjective"

smoky stump
#

Right, we should defien what h and g are right

crimson delta
#

You wrote "as we defined hog as surjective, then (some stuff) so we now see that hog is surjective"

#

That's just bad wording

smoky stump
#

yeah I see now

smoky stump
crimson delta
#

"let h and g be defined as .... We then see that hog is surjective because... and g is not surjective because ..."

smoky stump
crimson delta
#

No. You show that hog is surjective and g is not

smoky stump
#

right we do, I understand now thanks

#

Could you please take a look at this proof

crimson delta
#

Yes

#

Clean

smoky stump
#

wouldn't we need to explain why b=g(a) is part of B?

crimson delta
#

Well g:A->B so where else should it be

smoky stump
#

yeah okay

(Use the react button to rotate instead of using the commend again)

lyric narwhal
#

ah yes

lyric narwhal
#

if you take the B outside

#

it would become B*gamma(b+1)

astral thicket
#

What is a gamma function lmao

lyric narwhal
#

well

#

it's an extension of the factorial

#

to include other types of numbers

#

$Γ(z) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-t}t^{z-1} dt$

wraith daggerBOT
#

kheerii

astral thicket
#

Beta=z-1

lyric narwhal
#

for positive integer values of z, you just get (z-1)!

lyric narwhal
#

but you have an extra factor of B in your integral

astral thicket
#

Can you go to integral with me step By step ?

lyric narwhal
#

what?

astral thicket
#

Because honestly I just discovered what is gamma function

lyric narwhal
#

$\int_{0}^{\infty} Be^{-u}u^B du$

wraith daggerBOT
#

kheerii

lyric narwhal
#

is this your integral

#

?

astral thicket
#

Yes

lyric narwhal
#

$\int_{0}^{\infty} Be^{-u}u^B du = B\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-u}u^B du = B \cdot Γ(B+1)$

wraith daggerBOT

there really isn't any other way of simplifying it

What's the context of the question? Look like you have a pdf there, don't want to XY ourselves

astral thicket
# crystal raptor What's the context of the question? Look like you have a pdf there, don't want t...

Let T be an exponential random variable with rate 1, and let β > 0
be a positive constant. Define a new variable X := T
1/β
.
(a) Find the probability density function of X.
[Hint: For b ≥ a ≥ 0, write P(a ≤ X ≤ b) in terms of the density of T, and change the variable of integration to make
the integration limits a and b. Later we will learn a more straightforward approach.]
(b) Find E[X].
(c) Find Var[X].

summer quail
#

An older type of milk packaging had the shape of a tetrahedon. What is the area of each side surface if the package holds one liter and has a height of 1,76 dm? Round the answer to one decimal place

summer quail
#

Can someone explain this?

#

And how i am gonna solve it

tropic oxide
#

decimeters used unironically

crimson sedge
tropic oxide
#

... hold on tho

#

isn't this problem overspecified

#

if we take the tetrahedron to be regular (which they often were, from experience) then we need only know the volume to get its side length

#

the height is unnecessary, one would think

summer quail
#

Am i not supposed to do a equation like X x 1,76/3

tropic oxide
#

i mean, you're definitely not supposed to use the letter x as a multiplication symbol.

#

but also, the volume of a tetrahedron really is expressible entirely in terms of its side length.

tropic oxide
hidden osprey
#

height

summer quail
#

Its kinda small right?

tropic oxide
#

17.6 cm is not big

hidden osprey
#

oh wait thats decimeter

tropic oxide
#

what'd you think it was lmao

summer quail
#

It was 1,76

#

That is kinda small

tropic oxide
#

1.76 decimeters, which i converted to the much more common centimeters

summer quail
#

Oh ok

hidden osprey
#

i thought it was a decameter

tropic oxide
#

because seriously who uses decimeters in their day to day life lmao

tropic oxide
#

what common-use units even use the deca-prefix thonk

#

anyway

#

,w regular tetrahedron volume

tropic oxide
#

where a is of course the side length

summer quail
#

Yea ok

#

Was this the solution

#

?

tropic oxide
#

??

#

did i give away the answer to the problem? no.

calm lagoon
#

I need help with a "easy" physic problem! I think its related to kinetics

violet flume
#

do you not need an assumption about the bouncing?

#

i am bad at physics tho

calm lagoon
calm lagoon
#

physics*

violet flume
#

okay so

#

if you can figure out how much energy it has when it hits the ground

#

damn im gonna have to remember a lot about physics lol

#

if you know how much energy it has when it hits the ground

#

then you can break that off as a separate problem

#

a ball is launched from h=0, when does it have no kinetic energy

calm lagoon
#

theres no kinetic energy at the way start? when it is held at 2.2m

#

but in the part i crossed off, i said theres no K.E. when it strikes the ground?

#

i said that all the K.E. will turn into Ug (gravitational P.E. at the apex)

#

but idk if i have to consider thermal energy in addition to Ug

violet flume
#

nah i think thats an assumption

calm lagoon
#

oh okok

#

do you think i should use a kinematics approach to this?

violet flume
#

i would just split it, determine the kinetic energy when it hits the ground, and take that as your starting energy in the other direction

normal void
#

just watching your convo is shivering my bones im def not taking physics next year

calm lagoon
#

i feel like my professor expects us to us kinematics eqn for this problem

violet flume
#

get a group of friends and order pizza annd all be dumb together

normal void
#

but alas carry on

calm lagoon
#

I am a lifesci major and this is a prereq which i unfortunately despise

violet flume
#

i gotta see if i can find my hand of god sheet

#

you give me a sec to rummage

#

i swear i have a cheat sheet for this stuff from phys

normal void
#

im going to take life sci too

calm lagoon
#

i mean i have like an eqn sheet but i still dont really know how to approach this problem

calm lagoon
normal void
#

im joining the navy/military after highschool so i think knowing some biology will help

calm lagoon
#

but physics... it kills me

normal void
#

all sciences are my best subjects but im somehow garbage at math

calm lagoon
#

no same tho

normal void
#

it baffles me tbh

calm lagoon
#

i realize this is like such high school level stuff but ive never taken physics in my life

normal void
#

lol i was exposed to trigonometry a few days ago and im still traumatised

#

where did all the numbers go

calm lagoon
#

bro make sure you actually understand everything loll

normal void
#

where is my plus symbol

#

i need everything back to simpler times

calm lagoon
#

someone in my professor's office hours admitted they had no idea what the unit circle was, and my professor was astonished

violet flume
#

lets start at the first half

#

so, you have a ball

calm lagoon
#

our school system has failed us

violet flume
#

you throw it in the way described

#

it hits the ground

#

how much kinetic energy does it have when it hits the ground

#

its a combination of the energy from being thrown, plus energy it picked up from gravity

calm lagoon
#

i said 0.9N

#

1/2(0.8kg)(1.5m/s)^2

violet flume
#

N? newton?

calm lagoon
#

yes?

violet flume
#

newtons are force

calm lagoon
#

i think o_o

violet flume
calm lagoon
#

oh my am i gonna fail my final

violet flume
#

nah youre good

calm lagoon
#

JOULES

violet flume
#

no,

#

its only the htrown part

calm lagoon
#

is there an additional energy for the first part (ball going down?)

violet flume
#

dangit

calm lagoon
#

lol nice

violet flume
#

so a good hint you have more to do

#

you havent used all the information in the first sentence

#

we also have h_i = 2.2m

#

you do pick up energy from gravity right?

#

or maybe im just being dumb

#

like the ball starts with some potential before its thrown

calm lagoon
#

no i think youre right but i have a feeling this problem has to do w kinematics

violet flume
#

dont we gain that as potential in the fall?

#

im not 100% sure what you mean

#

its been 4 years since physics lol

#

kinematics?

calm lagoon
violet flume
#

oh man

#

no no

#

energy is always easier

#

well i guess it depends what you are comfortable with

calm lagoon
#

you're completely fine but my professor said that kinematics should be used if you want to know displacement, angles, and/or direction

#

and energy approach for speed

violet flume
#

okay

#

so we use YIII to start?

#

and lets call it like

#

$v_g^2 = v_0^2 + 2g(y-y_0)$

wraith daggerBOT
#

jan Niku

violet flume
#

_g for ground

#

no...y is 0 isnt it

#

so it simplifies

#

$v_g^2 = v_0 ^2 -2gy_0$

wraith daggerBOT
#

jan Niku

violet flume
#

tell me if i lose you or am being dumb flonshed

calm lagoon
#

wait but i thought it was starting at 2.2m?

#

im sorry i'm quite slow lol

#

wait also, i tried your energy approach considering Ug (gravitational P.E. in the first part) and got the same answer using kinematics

violet flume
calm lagoon
violet flume
#

ah, okay

#

then youre done ?

#

haha

calm lagoon
#

does it make sense that the height is greater than the initial height?

#

oh sorry wait that the same pic

violet flume
#

think of the energies in the initial part

calm lagoon
violet flume
#

say you had the same assumptions

#

but you just dropped the ball=

#

instead of throwing it

#

what would the height be

calm lagoon
#

should be less than the inital height?

violet flume
#

i dont think with our assumption

calm lagoon
#

oh then it would be the same height as initial

#

but then since a force was added, the final height is >> than initial height?

violet flume
#

yea

#

which you can sum the energies loosely

calm lagoon
#

ah okok

violet flume
#

you have some potential

#

that gets you where you were

calm lagoon
#

hopeuflly this is the correct answer

violet flume
#

then youre adding some kinetic

calm lagoon
#

okok

violet flume
#

your assumptions dont give you a way to lose energy

calm lagoon
#

thank you for your help!

violet flume
#

np good luck on your final

calm lagoon
#

thank you :)

so you know like when you’re trying to reference an element of a matrix with the notation $A_{ab}$

and a, b are digits

how do you say it when a and b are more than 1 digit

you just leave it as $A_{ab}$ and write $a=12, b=34$ later

crimson sedge
#

why is the top answer wrong but the bottom answer is right

crimson sedge
#

isnt the first term (8+x)^1 = (8+x)

#

is the first question meant to be for the same series?

blissful glade
#

yes

#

however your problem is that your common difference is (8+x)

#

so (8+x)/(1-(8+x)) is your sum

#

dividing top and bottom by (8+x) gives you:

#

1/((1/(8+x))-1)

#

taking out -1 gives you the sum shown

crimson sedge
#

but they have different values, im confused now

blissful glade
#

additionally the sum to infinity is different than a set sequence

how do i take it away tho

cosmic steppe

Show me your work

crimson sedge
cosmic steppe

didn't I just say to take the natural log of both sides...

crimson sedge

so i just remove 6 and 12 and leave x?

cosmic steppe
#

No

#

Have you worked with logarithms before

crimson sedge
#

No

cosmic steppe
#

Well there's no actual way then to get x other than taking the natural log of both sides

#

Are you sure you haven't seen things like $\log(x)$ or $\ln(x)$

urban quartz
#

??

violet flume

#

youre looking for problem values

#

can you think of a place this function might not be defined

fair mortar
#

write the denominator as factors

urban quartz
#

(x-5)(x+5)

#

??

fair mortar
#

yes

#

so

#

one rule is

#

denominator can never be zero

#

so now

#

$f(x) = \frac{(x-2)}{(x-5)(x+5)}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

bettim

violet flume
#

woah

urban quartz
#

ok

violet flume
#

blue

urban quartz
#

so now what

violet flume
#

do you have the hex for that blue

fair mortar
#

at what values of x does the denominator will be zero?

fair mortar
urban quartz
#

5,-5

violet flume
#

do you have the cyan for that blue

fair mortar
#

#00FFFF

violet flume
#

oh, damn

fair mortar
#

so the domain is all real numbers except -5 and 5

#

you can represent it as

#

$x \in (- \infty ,-5) \cup(-5,5) \cup(5,\infty)$

urban quartz
wraith daggerBOT
#

bettim

urban quartz
#

the U

#

??

fair mortar

or you can write it as

how do i find the equation of this or something somewhat similar to this?

cedar kilnBOT
#

@plush token Has your question been resolved?

buoyant latch
#

what is this supposed to be

#

passes through (-2, -2), (-1, 1), (1, 1) and has an asymptote of x=y as x -> ± inf?

#

it looks like it passes through 0,0 but that's not a point written

plush token
#

im pretty sure its a graph that has many functions multiplied or added together

buoyant latch
#

so first things first then, we want lim x->inf = x and lim x-> -inf = -x

#

hmm

#

we also want it to be under for -inf

#

and above for +inf

#

,w graph (x^3+x)/(x^2+1)

buoyant latch
#

ok fantastic

plush token
#

lmao

buoyant latch
#

we want f(1) = 1, f(-1) = 1, f(-2) = -2

#

hmm we also know f'(-1) = 0

#

that means if f(x) = g(x)/h(x) that g'(x)h(x) = g(x)h'(x)

#

ok

#

,w graph x((x+1)^2-1))/((x+1)^2+1)

buoyant latch
#

now that approaches from the wrong side though

plush token
#

yea it's supposed to intercept at 1,1 as well

buoyant latch

hmm this also does pass (-1, 1) but not as a turning point

marble ermine
#

Hello, I have a question, to solve a first order differential equation such as ty'(t) - y(t) = 2, I need to divide the expression to get $y'(t) - \frac{y(t)}{t} =\frac{2}{t}$ and find the solutions for t != 0, but what do i do when t approaches 0? That part confuses me

wraith daggerBOT
#

lilisworld

royal loom
#

looks like the bot is down right now

#

$5=5$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AustinU

marble ermine
royal loom
#

are you just trying to solve the ODE?

marble ermine
#

yes

#

that one

royal loom
#

are you familiar with integrating factors?

marble ermine
royal loom
#

what have you found the integrating factor for this to be then?

marble ermine
#

since the bot doesnt work

#

uhm

#

the integral of (2/t²)

royal loom
#

no

marble ermine
#

it's -2/t

royal loom
#

for an ODE of the form y'+p(t)y=q(t)

#

the integrating factor u(t) will be e raised to the power of the integral of p(t) dt

#

find that for your question

#

and then let me know what you find u(t) to be

marble ermine
#

yeah

#

p(t) is -1/t

#

so the integrating factor is t

royal loom
#

nop

#

if p(t) was 1/t then sure

marble ermine
#

nope wait it's exp(-ln(t))

royal loom
#

nop

#

performing your integral will give -ln(t)

#

yes?

#

e^(-ln(t))

#

is (e^(ln(t)))^-1

#

is t^(-1)

#

is 1/t

marble ermine
#

ok

royal loom
#

so the integrating factor is 1/t

#

can you go from there or do you need more help with it?

marble ermine
#

i think the problem is t

#

if t=0

#

it's not defined

royal loom
#

what's not defined?

marble ermine
#

i can find solutions for t!=0

royal loom
#

what's the complete question, could you send a picture?

marble ermine
#

it is just asking me to solve ty'(t) - y(t) = 2

royal loom
#

okay

#

have you found the solution

marble ermine
#

i devide both parts by t to get rid of the "t" in a_1, and then use the integrating factor but only works when t!=0 because cannot devide by 0

royal loom
#

have you found the solution yet

#

yes or no

marble ermine
#

yes

#

so it looks like

#

i mean no because they only work for t!=0

royal loom
#

I'm not sure if this is the help you need but

#

the original ODE is

#

ty'-y=2

#

correct?

#

when t=0 the equation is then is -y=2

#

i.e y=-2

#

which is also what your general solution would give you (if you had found it already) by plugging in t=0

#

is that what you mean?

marble ermine
#

becase we divide by t when we want to solve it?

marble ermine
royal loom
#

listen, if the original equation is ty'-y=2 and you are concerned about the solution when t=0 then plug in t=0 and it will give you the solution is y=-2. The rest of the solutions can be found by dividing through by t and finding the integrating factor etc...

#

I'd be most concerned with finding the general solution

#

have you found that yet?

marble ermine
royal loom
#

that's not correct

marble ermine
#

Ct - 2

royal loom
#

yes

#

that is it

#

try t=0 in that

#

what do u get

marble ermine
#

-2 but for redaction sake

#

i cannot say 1/t without specifying t!=0

#

can I?

royal loom
#

formally no

marble ermine
#

so what do i say

royal loom
#

?

marble ermine
#

nvm, i guess it's ok

#

thanks WanWan

how do they know to pick that for C

They chose it because it could combine with the other natural logs I think

really dont know where to start, I've only done problems with quotient when x --> inf

dull oxide
#

you can turn this into quotient

#

Hint: factor out a 1/x from the whole limit

exotic solar
#

hm

#

let me try

#

f

#

i tried doing like this

#

and its going towards the wrong answer

#

because the answer is 3, but, by the last expression, is going towards -inf

#

I've messed up somewhere

dull oxide
#

Oh

#

I mislead you

#

Factor out an x, not 1/x

#

When you factor out x, write it as 1/x in your denominator

exotic solar
#

oh

#

my friend helped me

#

he used cojugation

#

thanks for your time

how do i work out the equation for this curve?

#

all i know is that y is inversly proption to x

#

therefore y = k over x

sharp lotus
#

youre on the right track, now pick some helpful points (ones that are whole numbers are good candidates) to work out k

crimson obsidian
#

The general outlook of the graph is similar to that of y=k/x

sharp lotus
#

you see any points on the graph with integer coefficients?

vagrant current
#

only the x value 2

sharp lotus
#

well, 2 on each half of the graph right?

#

(2, 1), (1, 2), (-1, -2) and (-2, -1) are all on the graph

vagrant current
#

oh yea your correct , didn't spot that

sharp lotus
#

so if you plug in lets say (1,2) into the equation you already said y = k/x, what do you get for k?

vagrant current
vagrant current
sharp lotus
#

alright, now test the other 3 integer-valued coefficients we mentioned, if you use y = 2/x, does it work for everything?

vagrant current
#

i'll test them now , give me a sec

sharp lotus
#

then also think about the asymptotes, do they make sense as x increases without bound and x -> 0 ?

#

from either left or right etc?

vagrant current
sharp lotus
#

yes, so the equation seems to work for all test points

#

so you pretty much had it from the start, but all you had to do is calculate the value of k using a test point

vagrant current
#

thank you for the help man honestly , and thank you for your time also 😁 😁

sharp lotus
#

you're welcome, cheers

#

feel free to .close if that's it : )

vagrant current
#

yeah that was all , have a great rest of your day :))

how do i integrate this?

velvet mortar
#

What have you tried?

strong lantern
#

Use this formula

vagrant current
vagrant current
#

i've tried something similar to this earlier but the final answer was inccorect when i subsituted my 2 integral values

halcyon marlin
#

pretty sure you didnt divide correctly

#

1/2 * 1/4

strong lantern
halcyon marlin
#

oh you just added 1. you're supposed to divide with the new power

#

so divide 4 in 2nd term

#

divide 7 in 3rd

#

and divide 10 in 4th

sharp lotus
vagrant current
vagrant current
#

as what you and koter said

#

i would need to divide the new power by the denominator so the first term would be

#

how would i divide this new value by the denominator tho?

sharp lotus
#

you just slide another 4 in the denominator to divide the term by 4

#

sry, that's tiny

halcyon marlin
sharp lotus
strong lantern
sharp lotus
#

so you're just dividing that whole term by 4, if there is already a denominator that amounts to sliding in another factor of 4 down there

strong lantern
#

yup-

vagrant current
#

ohhh so that's how you'd work out the value of the denominator

sharp lotus
#

so that term just ends up being

vagrant current
#

and then you'd do the same for each other term 🤔

sharp lotus
#

indeed

vagrant current
#

well thank you guys for this

#

just 1 more questino

#

whats the exact name of this integral equation?

#

i've never seen it in my classes

sharp lotus
#

it's the power rule for integrals

#

it's just the opposite when you do derivatives

vagrant current
#

oh right , i'll take a look into it ... this method is much better than the one i was taught

sharp lotus
#

remember when you do derivatives, the exponent goes down by 1 and you multiply by the OLD exponent, go back and forth on a few examples (integrate once, then do derivative), you will end up with what you started, or do a derivative first then integrate, order doesnt matter

vagrant current
sharp lotus
#

Spoiler of the fundamental theorem of calculus: ||derivation and integration are opposite operations||

#

what was the method shown?

#

you might have been taught just definition of integration, riemann sums and whatnot and expected to do the problem this way for the first day or so. The shortcuts come soon after, but it is important to understand the geometric intuition of what integration is doing and how it is defined in the first place so hopefully you got some of that.

vagrant current
# sharp lotus what was the method shown?

so we'd have to convert the fractions into index form without any denominators and then add 1 to the power and divide ,

but with questions like this one its something we didnt do in class
normaly the denomaintors for questions we did in class would be x or any other algebraic value*

sharp lotus
#

what even is index form?

vagrant current
vagrant current
sharp lotus
#

I definitely don't think any course would expect anyone to solve this particular problem with riemann sums though...that sounds...painful

vagrant current
#

its a shame because my class is struggling just as much as me on this topic , the teacher is also just a student

#

( we dont have a fully qualified maths teacher atm )

sharp lotus
#

isn't the problem given already in index form then? all the x's are in the numerators

vagrant current
#

i'll show an example

sharp lotus
#

that makes no sense when the denominator is just a constant...

vagrant current
#

something like this

sharp lotus
#

if you are not getting good lectures in your class i recommend this teacher's youtube videos, she has good clear writing, speaks clearly and has good understanding of the topics and they are explained in good detail for an introductory level (she's a high school teacher), there is a whole list on AB calculus you can find on her channel, here is the particular video on antiderivatives
