nvm its just something stupid with mathxl I just go up one and right one
for some reason it keeps marking it wrong if I dont randomly guess what it wants me to put
Well that's not always the case. That only works because the leading coefficient is 1

Given I have v and phi(N) how would I calculate s?
Hope that v and φ(N) are comprime so that v has an inverse that you can find with euclids algorithm
so do I just do gcd(v,phi(N)) using euclids algo?
Yeah and then if gcd is 1, run it back to bezout
whats bezout?
Bezouts lemma says you can always find λ,μ such that λa+μb = gcd(a,b)
oh we never learned that
Okay well if you have other ways to calculate modular inverses then do those
what does extended euclid algo do?

Do you know what the vector field is
I would start by identifying the vector field and seeing if it's conservative
Have you been dealing with 2D or 3D vector fields?
Alright so you've been dealing with rotary and not curl
Identify the field from the path integral
Yup but the example above is a 3D vector field
Yup
Now I'd start by finding rot(<x,0>)
well I wouldn't even parametrize the curve
Like curl but for 2D
Uh
If $F = \vecb{A,B}$ then $\text{rot}(F) = \pdv{B}{x} - \pdv{A}{y}$
Umbraleviathan
Yup so that tells you that the field is conservative and you can apply the gradient theorem
So now you need to find a function, f(x,y) such that the gradient of f is <x,0>
Yup
The information above tells you the path goes from (0,0) to (3,27) right
Hm

is the expression $$ [(x+10)(x+6)-60]0.25= 27$$

r u assuming x is the border width?
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.
yeah I get it the expression suppose like this
check if the total area is the first part of ur expression
$$ [(2x+10)(2x+6)-60] * 0.25 = 27$$
yea
JXHN
thats right i think
I also tried other way but it way off can u tell what long there
?
bascially i find the difference of big volume - small volume = 27
$$ (2x+10)(2x+6)0.25 - 1060.25 = 27 $$
JXHN
what's wrong with this?
those 2 are the same

I was going through my notes, and I was practicing to rotate this conics.
However, I got confused when I started plugging it into desmos. xy = 1 shows a hyperbola with a transverse x axis rotated 45 degrees, and the solution is a hyperbola with a transverse x axis.
If you rotate xy = 1 45 degrees, shouldn't the final be a hyperbola with a transverse x axis?

how do i approximate the y value of a local minima so that i can check if the value is larger than a specific number
wdym
how do i check if a local minima of a function is larger than a specific number if getting the root of the derivative is difficult
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
For all x?
yes
I'm guessing you found the derivative
the roots are pretty hard to find
But you found the derivative, yeah?
yes
@meager jungle oh right
Just use iteration
Specifically the newton raphson method
For the derivative
How does this make a proof?

I can't get the surface area
Have you found the area of the sides?
17 and 17
There are more than 2 sides.
you mean area of the base?
What is stopping you from finding the area of the rest?
idk how to
Do you know how to find the area of a rectangle?
base x height?
this is meaningless to me, you have to be more specific. Say, the area of ( ) is 850, because .....
if you want help
850 is rectangle area, 550 is the whole triangle area
and 616 is the area of the base
can anyone help me about this questio“Find a special solution to a differential equation y''+y=e^x+cosx
there are more than 1 rectangles on the shape, and more than 1 triangles
Read #❓how-to-get-help , this channel is occupied.
@orchid anchor these are the areas you need to find
Also, the side opposite the slanted side
So, note that the black and red areas are repeated on the backside
so whatever they are, double them
22 x 17, 17 x 50, 22 x 50/2, 22 x 22/2
find the area of the base (the green)
that?
this is just a list of numbers to me, be more specific if you want me to check anything for you
Sorry but that doesn't mean you should just paste your question into here with really no effort on your part to describe what you need help with or what you are trying
I'm willing to help, I'm just not going to baby you through it either
If you would show me your work I could try to tell you what went wrong
(just pasting random numbers in the chat doesn't count as showing your work)
how do you want me to show my work
Did you do it on paper?
this is right
1782 after we add the yellow
this is also right
this is way off.. how are you finding the area of the yellow?
50 x 22/2
22/2 is not the length of that diagonal side
what do I have to type in?
find the length of it's base, (50)
multiply by the length of it's height
which is the diagonal
which you have to find
ok I got 2787.63
find the area of all the sides, and add them up. That will give you the surface area.
is 2787.63 right?
no clue
but, you're more than capable of finding the surface area. Just find the areas of all the sides and add them up
if you get it wrong, then double check that you found the areas correctly
As I said above, I'd be happy to help but you have some opposition to explaining/thoroughly showing your work. So I can't check for you
So this is correct
From here I need to add yellow and blue right?
As I said above, find the area of all the sides and add them up
then you either didn't find all of the sides, or you found the area of some of them incorrectly
if you'd organize your work on paper it'd be easy for you to see what is going wrong
or easy for me
No one is going to give answers here
alr thanks for nothing
you haven't tried showing your work coherently

Kind of a shot in the dark, but how the heck do I even start a proof like this?
We've touched a little on special divisibility rules; For example, numbers take a certain form when they are divisible by 101 or 7 or 3 or etc.
I have a feeling I'm supposed to use the fact that e is the modular mult. inverse of 10 mod n, but I'm not sure how... (Does that somehow guarantee that n' will be divisible by d?)
Gonna step away to work on other problems for a bit, please ping me if you respond!
What is multiplicative inverse?
Like e*10 = 1 mod (d)?
If then you can do $10 n' = n-a_0 +10e a_0 \implies 10 n' \equiv n-a_0 +10e a_0\mod d \implies 10 n' \equiv n-a_0 +a_0 \equiv n \equiv 0 \mod d$
Since $\text{gcd}(10,d) = 1$, we have $n' \equiv 0 \mod( d)$
@olive helm seems correct to you?
Wait, I have to go back as well (d |n'->d |n)
(d |n'->d |n) is easy

Is this more like
Rotating the loop about an axis lying on the plane of the page
or
Translating the loop in a direction perpendicular to the page.
?

@bronze pivot Has your question been resolved?
What is your question?
.
this ^
You replied to my question
I don't think either answer you suggested describes what the picture looks like to me
This is clearly not a translation.
If the axis of rotation lied inside the plane the rotation would happen in space - i.e. it would "leave the plane"
To me the picture looks like
"Rotation about an axis orthogonal to the plane that passes through a point inside of the circle" (and based on how you drew the arrows i'd say it's pretty close to the center)

Although i find it more pretty to have an extra space behind the element symbol
im trying to write on what intervals function has negative/positive values by quantifiires and i dunno if this is correct
well that intersection will result in the empty set
Did you mean union?
(0,3) or (4, 8)?
i saw that you cannot use the union in indicating intervals in which function has positive/negative values and the intervals just being listed after a comma so i dont know what to use
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
what??
I see. Because each interval is a separate instance of when f is increasing
Taking union makes it all one set and it may not qualify as increasing in that whole single instance
Read the top answer
yes yes so how can i represent those using quantifires?

Can someone guide me through this step by step?
Evaluating the integral
ok so this might be a little bit nasty lol but I think I see a way to do it
what do you think the first thing we should try is?
trig substitution?
not quite let's hold off on that
although yes that would my first through too
but there's something unique about this
hint: what is the deriviative of sqrt(x^2-9)?
yep perfect!
so how about this
what if we did u-sub and let u = sqrt(x^2 - 9)?
Like
Let $u = \sqrt{x^2 - 9}$. Then $du = \frac{1}{2}\frac{2x}{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}}dx = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}}dx$.
$\\$ Then we see that$dx = \frac{\sqrt{x^2 - 9}}{x}dx$
MellowDramaLlama
hmmm
wait
lol
oh yes okay that'll work
We can also see that since $u = \sqrt{x^2 - 9}$, then $u^2 = x^2 - 9$ which means $u^2 + 9 = x^2$
MellowDramaLlama
should that not be du
yeah you're right thank you
at thr enf
see? we double check each other lmao
Sorry could you explain further after this?
yeah of course
ok so let's start over
I'll number my steps up to that point
bear with me as I write this all out
Wait I’m really sorry, I just saw that I must use trig sub in my work in order to get credit 😭
But I would still like to see the other method if it’s alright
Since you’re already typing it too
If not it’s ok
ooooh
no then I wont' bother lol
no worries
it was a cool way to solve it but let's use trig sub since that's your area of focus
no worries
ok so yes trig sub
which trig method will we use for $\sqrt{x^2 - a^2}$?
MellowDramaLlama
a sec
dx = 3sec (theta) tan(theta)
bingo!
so we have the following now: $\\-10 \int \frac{\sqrt{(3sec(\theta))^2 - 9}}{(3sec(\theta))^3}3sec(\theta)tan(\theta)d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
you agree so far?
Yes
3sec^2(theta)?
not quite. Remember that $(ab)^3 = a^3b^3$
MellowDramaLlama
Oh so 27sec^3(theta)?
First square the 3sec(theta) so we get 9sec^2(theta) -9
The 9 to get sec^2 - 1
Tan^2
I'm so proud of you
so we have sqrt(9tan^2)
which means we can get rid of that sqrt
so now we're left with this (which we'll clean up in a sec)
$\-10 \int \frac{3tan(\theta)}{27sec^3(\theta)}3sec(\theta)tan(\theta)d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
there's quite a lot we can combine and eliminate here
care to take a crack at it? ^_^
yep exactly
so we can pull out that constant and we're left with
$\frac{-10}{3}\int \frac{tan^2(\theta)}{sec^2(\theta)}d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
now what does sec^2 equal?
sorry to be more clear. what is sec relation to cos?
1/cos?
bingo
so sec^2 is the same thing as 1/cos^2
and when you have 1/(anything) in the denominator, you can move that (anything) to the numerator
so then we have $\frac{-10}{3} \int tan^2(\theta)cos^2(\theta)d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
Sin/cos?
The cos^2 cancels out
yep!
so after ALL of that
we're left with $\frac{-10}{3} \int sin^2(\theta) d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
wow that was nasty. I don't like trig subs lol
there's a sub you can do as well now with sin^2. It's not 1 - cos^2.
rather it's sin^2 = 1/2 * (1 - cos(2theta))
have you ever seen that?
Ohh ye
so we do that and we're left with
$-\frac{10}{3} \int \frac{1}{2}(1 - cos(2\theta)d\theta = -\frac{5}{3} \int 1 - cos(2\theta)d\theta$
MellowDramaLlama
now just integrate that real quick
Is it this?
yep exactly
don't forget your + C 🙂
now one last step is to convert everything from theta back to terms of x
drawing a triangle here will be super helpful
Okay I’ll try
sounds good I'll be on standby
How do you convert the first theta?
I recall it has something to do with arcsin or one of them
so x = 3sec(theta). We can use the arcsec
but if your teacher doesn't like that then convert with: $arcsec(x) = arccos(\frac{1}{x})$
MellowDramaLlama
so solve for theta in x = 3sec(x) then we can convert by taking the arcsec of each side
there's an identity there
what does sin(2x) equal?
once you see it that's where the drawn triangle will come into play
I’m not sure
2sin(x)cos(x)
$$\sin{2x}=2\sin{x}\cos{x}$$
Calamity
I see
so then all in all we have: $-\frac{5}{3}(\theta - sin(\theta)cos(\theta))$
MellowDramaLlama
Ok I think I got it
kk sounds good
I got the final answer if you want to double check with me when you are done 🙂
,rotate
looks good to me!
if you wanted to change arcsec to arccos, the equivalent would be arccos(3/x)
but otherwise it all looks great!

Hi, could I get some help on an easy statistics question?
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
do you have to do this by hand or can you use like excel?
I could use an excel
oh okay
yeah there's a function for that
so I would make a table for your points, like so
Yeah that seems about right
so you can either just use a built in function (I'm forgetting what it is right now)
or you could use the following formula
ah okay yeah
so then I would just make cells for each of the following
sorry one moment
ok so normally I would not recommend opening any files on discord on here lol
but here's the excel file
the cells should have each formula
I gotta head to dinner so hopefully it'll make sense
but you'll notice that the trend line that was automatically created in the graph matches the b_1 and b_0 cells 🙂
kk best of luck!

do i just use radiants the moment im dealing with sin/cos and other trigonometric functions
use radians because they're cooler ;)
ong
there's no real moment to use them, I just think they're easier to work with. You won't see many degrees in trig and calculus though, so getting used to them is a good thing
if there is pi in the problem use radians
you could kind of like see it in that
radians is the basic language of degrees for computers, so they are more common on accounting apps such as excel, google sheets, etc
But i gues you could just use degrees unless it asks you for radians?
kinda depends. But yes as Lighter said, if there's pi, there's a very low chance of it being pi degrees lol
alr in this case the question had a pi
this was the start of the question
so if its evident like this i assume its safe to say that the teacher expects an answer in radiants

six problems (numbered 1 to 6) are set for a test. Students can score a 0,1,2 or 3 marks for the problem. Find the number of ways a total of 15marks can be scored for the six problems
idk where to start
fäf
yeah
any combinatorics method that you know to tackle this?
In a way you can think that there are atleast three questions where you get 3 marks
if you get 2 marks for all question then you get total marks of 12 which is less than 15
cause thats the minimum
yes that's the minimal case
so three questions with three marks are assumed pretty much
so for that
is it?
6C3
yes
for which questions get three marks
but think about more cases
case 1 : 3 questions get 3 marks
case 2 : 4 questions get 3 marks
case 3 : 5 questions get 3 marks
what other?
and they add up
no need to go fot that
why not?
we know we want atleast 3 three marks answers, so you can find how to use 0,1,2 when there are 4 questions that give three marks
ohhhh
we decide number of three marks questions and then we find how many 0,1,2 marks questions fix in remaining sum
when there are three 3's
they add to 9
so remaining sum is 15-9 = 6
we have to get three numbers from the set of {0,1,2} to get sum of 6
which happens only when all three of them are equal to 2
so our case gives us 3+3+3+2+2+2=15 which can be arranged in 6C3 ways

dont u need to choose which questions get 2 marks
yes
that's what is done in 6C3 ways
nope
if anything this will be 6C3 * 3C3
which is just 6C3
ohhhhhhh
ok ok
that meks sense
so the 6C3
is to decide which questions get 3 marks
then there are 3 qs left
out of those 3
we decide which questions get 2 marks which is 3C3
which is just 1
okay
so for the other cases
for the 4 questions
with 3 marks
its 6C4 to decide which questions get the three marks
3+3+3+3+2+1=15
no
oh
then i need to decide qhich questions get the 2 marks and 1 mark
is that just 2C1 * 2C1
uhm so no?
so i have 2 questions from which 1 gets 2 marks and the other gets 1 mark
lets start with just the two marks
i dont understand
isnt it just 2C1 to see which gets 2 marks
and then 1C1 for the last question which gets 1 makr
is that yes?
cool col
finally
for the case 3
is 6C5 to see which questions get 3 marks
and then 1C1 for the last question qhich gets 0
kk
thanks then

Help me
Alright
So
What's the probability that 6 dice will roll out for a total of 6 points?
There's only one combination of 6 rolls totaling 6 (each one rolls a 1), what's the total number of outcomes?
I feel like this problem was solved/requested earlier.
The only way to get a total of 6 points from 6 die is to roll 6 1's
the probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6 with a fair die
in order to do that 6 times you would do (1/6)^6
hold on
as in, you are rolling 6 standard six-sided dice and looking at the total, and you wish to know the probability that this total also equals 6
is that what you're saying?
Yes
in this case 0.214337 is definitely quite far from the answer.
hello
Hi?
Should be 1/6^6
I have no idea how you got that lol. Can you show how you got that?
(1/6)^6 = 0.00002143347
it's extremely unlikely you'd get that
oh
hence why the probability is so small.
Oh that makes sense
Only 4 orders of magnitude off lol
in other words, the chance of rolling 6 1's from 6 die is 0.002143347 %.
Fun fact, according to a Google search, the probability of being struck by lightning is 1/15300, which is 0.00006535947
in other words, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than rolling that on the dice lol
OK in all seriousness, ty
I understand now
Good bye!
Ty
hang on how do I close
uh
Oh

I need help with maths
The question is
**
If the geometric mean of (3x+1)/2x and (2x+2)/3x is sqrt(195)/15, find the positive value of x.
**The answer in book is
Value of x is 4.
But I can't solve it.
Please help
please help
Don't worries
It is handy to use log with base 2 here, so 2 = 2 1 and 8 = 2 3. The arithmetic mean of the exponents (1 and 3) is 2, so the geometric mean is 2 2 = 4. This can be verified by our geometric average
Factor 2x^2-3x+1. 2x2 − 3x + 1 2 x 2 - 3 x + 1. For a polynomial of the form ax2 +bx+ c a x 2 + b x + c, rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c = 2⋅1 = 2 a ⋅ c = 2 ⋅ 1 = 2
Understand..?

hey guys could someone help me out with solving quadratics by completing the square
but why can't I divide everything by 2?
because you change the expression
like if you just have the number 6 or something
you cant divide that by 2
no different here
but I mean the equation is equivalent right?
cause in this video they do it
This video contains two examples of solving a quadratic equation using completing the square... when there is a coefficient other than 1 for the x squared term.
Practice Questions: https://corbettmaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/completing-the-square-pdf1.pdf
Textbook Exercises: https://corbettmaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/solving-usi...
you can divide both sides of an equation by 2
you cant just divide some random expression by 2
starting by setting it equal to 0 
oh I see
yeah I meant to do that
so basically x^2 +11x/2 + 6 = 0
(x+11/4)^2 - 121/16 + 6 = 0
(x+11/4)^2 = -217/16 = 0
this video is giving you a crutch thats not helpful
is this correct?
the first step is to factor
but I mean if I don't want to factor
$2x^2+11x+12 = 2(x^2+\frac{11}{2}x+6)$
since It is a non-monic quadratic
jan Niku
but I mean where does the 5 in the first term go in the video?
yeah
jan Niku
jan Niku
usual technique is to totally isolate the terms with the x
$x^2+\frac{11}{2}x = -6$
jan Niku
then you take half the coef attached to x, square it, and add it to both sides
$x^2 + \frac{11}{2}x + \frac{121}{16} = -6 + \frac{121}{16}$
jan Niku
yeah
oh, you got the same thing 
thanks for waiting for me to catch up haha
alright, so all you have to do is take the root and move the constant over
$x = \pm \sqrt{-6+\frac{121}{16} } - \frac{11}{4}$
jan Niku
wait
so from here
I would add 217/16 to both sides correct?
Result:
1.5625
hmm well it seems we are using different methods of completing the square
both methods produce the same results but I think I find this one easier for me to understand
hmm? they do the same thing in the video
you end up with a perfect square on one side, and a number on the other
then you take the root, and move the coefficient
do you mind starting again?
well this is where I feel good up to: (x + 11/4)^2 - 121/16 + 6 = 0
so basically I can simplify to get (x+11/4)^2 - 217/16 = 0
okay
sure
then take the square root of both sides
yup
then subtract 11/4 from both sides of the equation
yes
I don't get the correct roots when I simplify this
,w 2x^2+11x+12=0
👀
do you see what I mean
ah, youve added incorrectly
here
121/16 + 6 = 121/16 + 96/16
,calc 121+96
Result:
217
sorry, its negative
-121/16 + 6 = -121/16 + 96/16
you lost the negative somewhere
so start here
but re-add those numbers
dont forget its negative: -121/16
Oh true so -25/16
ok so x = -4, x = -3/2

thanks for helping out
no problem

u mean x= like 2
Yes
this method prioritizes speed.
Why
Sounds like hella brute forcing
Looks like you can try expanding the left hand side, then likewise expanding the right hand side and comparing coefficients for the terms
what can i do on the left side
Rewrite the first term as (x^2 + 3x)*(x^2 +3x) and distribute that
Then add the result from the second term
It should be x^4 + 2*3*x^3 + 9x^2
Then add the second term when you distribhte the -2 throughout
Distribute right side afterwards(it will get nasty)
Another method:
Let u = x^2 + 3x

At first I used the formula sqrt(A² + B² + 2ABCosθ), but im pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be solved. I don't understand what "due east" and "due 60° north of west" mean.
do you know what a compass looks like
Its a pretty easy question
you don't have to do anything.
but it might help if you do.
when something is facing exactly along one of the four principal compass points, we say it is facing "due north", "due south" etc.
!nosols
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.
also i have not calculated the answer so i can't tell anyway
Yeah yeah I know, thats why I pinged you with that message :<
OOOF, can you just do it quickly and let me know
The answer is said to be sqrt(13) in the answer key
while "60° north of west" means this: face due west, then rotate yourself 60° towards north. that's the direction you end up facing.
ah ok

i think i can solve this myself now that i understand whats was meant by 60 ° north of west

what?
i dont know how to change the name of the channel
you should go to a channel in the Math help (AVAILABLE) category and post your question there.
NOT reopen somebody else's channel like you did.
Well, you can practice integration questions online. There are many problems available online from which you can practice.
oh
post in an open channel and it'll get your name put on it.
sorry
people can reopen someone else’s channel?

I keep getting these type of questions wrong, can someone help me
do you know value of sin(90+x)
and same for cos and tan
no
there are different identities
sin(90+x) is cosx due to the fact that sin is positive in 2nd quadrant
surely you'd go for 180-... for these
it's called like the reference angle or something
find the reference angle for 140 in the first quadrant
The answer they got was sin40
But for tan they got tan-90
-90?
Yes
that is not the same as tan(140)
And for cos it was cos-40
these are not equal
-cos(40) is not the same as cos(-40)
How should I do it
are you familiar with the term reference angle
No
is there another term that is used by your book
I don’t think so, explain it, I’ll learn it ur way
related acute angle is the alternate name
No I haven’t learn it
you might want to look through your book to find where this is covered

you could use the three equations in the blue box here
you want to rewrite $\sin({\c b 140\degrees})$ as $\sin({\c b 180\degrees - \theta})$
what is the value of θ?
40
no the point of rewriting 140 as 180 - 40 is so that you can apply this equation
because now with θ=40, you have an acute angle
I’m lost again, I thought doing 180-140 was the only step
\begin{align*}
\sin({\c b 180\degrees - {\c r \theta}}) & = \sin({\c r \theta}) \\
\sin({\c b 180\degrees - {\c r 40\degrees}}) & = \sin({\c r 40\degrees})
\end{align*}
but because 140 = 180 - 40, we now also know that sin(140) = sin(40)
Ahh alrr
