yea
Yes
Lemme see
i did those for 11a and b
sorry kinda messy i draw it with my finger
when asks to sketch the curve would it be f(x) or f’(x)
f(x)
f'(x) is there to tell you about the slope at different points, f'(x) is a curve yes but right now we are only concerned with it to know the slope
it should be 1/x not -1/x
you don't have to sketch the derivative
just gonna send it here again so no need to scroll up
kk
so we don’t need to sketch the tangents?
the sketch of the derivative is not the sketch of the tangents
oh-
a tangent is a line and always a line, the curve of the derivative isn't necessarily a line
And
icic
The derivative at a point tells you the slope of the curve at that point, only the slope it doesn't give you a tangent and it can't give you a tangent it returns a number lol
ahh okk
when it says all the tangents slopes downwards
like that?
is the slope of the tangents the derivative
what does it mean by x-> 0^+ ans 0^-1
okk
what is 0^+ amd ^-1
it means negative slope as it says in the qsn and negative slope means obtuse angle formed by tangent anti clockwise from the positive x-axis
obtuse angle??
it means as x approaches that value, so 0+ means as x approaches 0 from the right hand side meaning from the positive side and x -> 0- means as x approaches 0 from the LHS or negative side, so the question is what happens to the slope as x approaches those values
greater than 90° angle
ohhhhh
uhhh as they approach 0 uh it gets closer but then turns away from x??
that is worded very poorly
away from x-axis yes but what does that mean for it's value
infinity(?)
Yea
but but
you see the slope is already negative and it stays that way
And keeps increasing
So negative infinity
ahhh right
thr solution paper says aa x ->0^+ and 0^-1 “the gradient decreases
without bound, so the tangents slope more and more steeply backwards.”
what does without bound mean
without bound means without a stopping point it happens forever
ohhh okk
so as x approaches 0^+ and 0^-, it approaches away from the x axis as it increases to infinity and negative infinity?
heyyyyy we are talking of the slope
Not the curve itself
The slope is always negative
in both cases visualise that using the graph
Imagine drawing a tangent and then moving the point on the curve closer to 0
And seeing how the slope changes
o h whoops
the tangents become sorta looking more vertically straight ish?
Yes what's their slope then
still negative…?
that is right but what's the slope of a vertical line
yea
where theta is the angle made by it from the positive x-axis in anti clockwise direction
what's the angle made by a vertical line with the x-axis then
there’s no angle..?
oh 180
no
uhm
The angle with x - axis
90?
yes
90
yea so a vertical line with the x-axis, does it not form the same angle
yes
and what would be the slop then the tan of that angle
tan(90)?
Yea which is
my calculator gave me math error
Lol
indefinite..?
it's like as the line would become more and more vertical meaning as it goes from 89° to 89.5° and 89.9°, 89.99°
Put these values in calculator
What about 89.9999999
5.72953173 x 10^10
a lot more than a billion
oh-
bruh see how fast it grows
Like at first it's so slow
tan(0) = 0, tan(45°) = 1
tan(89°) = 57
yesyes
so yea as the line becomes vertical it's slope in magnitude goes to infinity but it's negative so negative infinity
ahhh okk
do you see why it's negative though
sorta
if it makes an angle greater than 90° from the positive x-axis then the slope is negative
so for as x approaches infinity the slope becomes more horizontal?
Yes
the line gets closer to 0 right
the slope yes
You're welcome

Solve the equation $\frac{\sqrt[3]{7-x}-\sqrt[3]{x-5}}{\sqrt[3]{7-x}+\sqrt[3]{x-5}}=6-x$
mendeleevpro
have you gotten anywhere on thisd
@mystic fiber Has your question been resolved?
No

Try rationalizing the denominator
Might be messy at first but everything gets simplified
i was thinking that but im not sure how to rationalize cube roots
To rationalize with square roots we multiply a - b by a + b (or vice versa) because (a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2
And, similarly, (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) = a^3 + b^3 can be used for cube roots
oh interesting

@mystic fiber what is your question??
Solve the equation $\frac{\sqrt[3]{7-x}-\sqrt[3]{x-5}}{\sqrt[3]{7-x}+\sqrt[3]{x-5}}=6-x$
mendeleevpro
is the answer 6
???
value of x=6
What?
Explain why?
solve th given equation you will get the answer..
But how lol
It is obvious that x=5,6,7 work
Note that if you expand it and do all the messy algebra it will become a cubic(not necessary to actually do this)
Cubics have at most 3 roots, but you've already found 3
So 5,6,7 are the only roots
wait is it a cubic?
doesnt matter should still have no other roots
only cube roots
@mystic fiber ??
what do you mean
nvm
no the only answer is 6 which is in positive and all other rest are negative..
no, 5,6,7 all work
check it
5 is not a solution
yes you are right all the 3 are solution.
$\frac{\sqrt[3]{7-5}-\sqrt[3]{5-5}}{\sqrt[3]{7-5}+\sqrt[3]{5-5}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}}=1=6-5$ ...
mendeleevpro
Sorry mb
woah this place is active
They are solutions
Lmao
bruh
We can use componendo dividendo
Here
It will make it much easier
Can u pls solve it
I did, the answer is x=5,6,7...
Do you need help?
Yes
Alright do you know any way to remove the cube roots?
Show ur work
i did
here
No (Idk where to start)
What's the given equation?
$\frac{\sqrt[3]{7-x}-\sqrt[3]{x-5}}{\sqrt[3]{7-x}+\sqrt[3]{x-5}}=6-x$
mendeleevpro
No one will understand it bro
no
its not that hard to understand
imagine expanding it it should become a cubic right
$(\frac{\sqrt[3]{7-x}-\sqrt[3]{x-5}}{\sqrt[3]{7-x}+\sqrt[3]{x-5}})^3=(6-x)^3$
literatus
Do you get what I just did?
Yeah
Then what do you get
As the fraction is ^3 the same as the square root of 3, the square just dissapear
This is what you should get after
$\frac{{7-x}-({x-5})}{{7-x}+({x-5})}=(6-x)^3$
literatus
Maybe this helps you out solving this in order for x
The truth
No, this is wrong
There is indeed a common term but it is not the same
Even if it was it wouldn't cancle like that
$(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3$ ...
mendeleevpro
expanding SHOULD give you a cubic i think
all that matters is that its a cubic
then it has at most three roots
which must be 5,6,7 since they work
Notes : continue to solve it from 16:00:00 (4 p.m) - 23:00:00 (11 p.m) UTC + 00:00 (23:00:00 (11 p.m) - 06:00:00 (6 a.m) UTC + 07:00) because I'll offline at that time (I'm from 🇻🇳 )

I can figure out if its increasing easily, but any time I got this question before I would just use my graphing calculator to see if it was concave up or down 😅
Try differentiating
Now I gotta actually learn how to do it haha
okok 1 moment I will do it
Then find dy/dx when x=-4
that’s your increasing decreasing
then differentiate again etc
I got a negative in the discriminant...
Why is the discriminant involved in differentiation
Oh
Discriminant is for solving the thing
the rate of change of a function
ah yeye sry
if you’ve been using your GC to do these questions I’d suggest you revise your differentiation
I got 3x^2 - 6x + 8
for this I got 80
So is it increasing or decreasing
increasing
Now do the same for concave
Oh sorry was busy
npnp
If it’s positive the graph is concave upwards at that point
Otherwise concave downward

does f(x)=1/2 have a horizontal asymptote
Okok
no\
Oh?
thats not an asymptote
asymptote is when a function approaches a value but never reaches it
1/2 reaches it
,w graph y=1/2
,w graph 1/x +2
horizontal asymptote at 2
did you find the limit as x appraches infinity and -infinity
But I guess the website is wrong? Idk anymore hahaha
It will be 1/2 right?
theres not even an option for a=0
you can use desmos for this, make a a variable with a slider'
and see how it affects the equation
This just depends on how that website defined a horizontal asymptote
yeah thats not an asymptote
What do you think is a safe bet for me to put in my exam
Asymptote or no asymptote?
asymptote means it approaches a value not that its actually at the value
,w define asymptote
😄
im trying to use latex and the bot functions more
You should ask your lecturers, there are valid arguments for allowing a straight line to be asymptotic to itself or not
Unfortunatly I dont have any haha I am just doing self study
the asymptote exists when the limit is a real number but it doesn't mean the function can't be equal to this limit 🤷♂️
So what do you guys think is the safest bet to put in an exam?
It probably wont come up but just to be sure haha
Find your courses definition of asymptote
Okok I will email the examiners
I will do it now haha
Thank you everyone
❤️

Find the coordinates of the absolute minimum for the function f(x) = sqrt(x-3)
I got (3,0)
Is this correct?
Yes
Sqrt always nonnegative output
So it can’t be any smaller
There’s also only one equality case
I have another question, would this conclusion be correct?
For this function, f'(x) > 0 on (-infinite, -1) U (0, infinite) right?
Oh, it's increasing, for the y-output
i think you have a typo or something, check your answer again
like I'm pretty sure you have the right idea but there's a typo
Which typo?
you say f'(x) > 0 on (-infinity, 1) U (0, infinity)
My other conclusion was this:
This kinda made sense to me because it was concave down till -1
Then its concave down from 0 to infinite
the function isn't even visible at x=1 so i'm not sure where you're getting that
It's going up exponentially then
It would mean that it's a polynomial function
Which would explain that massive jump
exponential functions are not polynomial functions but ok i think i see what you're saying
still though, why do you think it stops increasing at x=1?
or maybe -- could you highlight the regions where f(x) is increasing?
You mean -1, not 1.
yehh

How do I compute the limit?
divide both the top and bottom by n
Do I divide everything by n^2
isn't it highest power?
not like that
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{n^2+4}}{n+8}=\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{\sqrt{n^2\Big(1+\frac{4}{n^2}\Big)}}{n\Big(1+\frac{8}{n}\Big)}=...$$

noo, that was an other example
to ilustrate how it works
but
I mean
we take square root
but you have to remember to do +/-
like with x^2 = 25
we have
x = +/- 5

how is the first one increasing?
heres a better pic
since if you plug in any number lower than -3 in the s'(x) u still get a neg answer
so how is the behavior increasing?
is because its the derivative so its going the opposite?
they didnt give me one, ill show you everything they showed me
you have to make one to solve the problem
"determine the behavior of s on each interval"
behavior of s and s' are different
when first derivative is positive, that means s is increasing
I think that is where you are getting confused
Read carefully
when s' is pos, s is increasing
s' is neg, s is decreasing
just a fundamental relationship between first derivative to original
yes i understand that part, so are you saying whatever the answer is for the derivative you have to flip the sign?
no
no sign flipping
You found out that the first derivative at any number less than -3 is positive right
you plugged say -4 into derivative, got a positive result
i did this and got confused
that means that the original s will be increasing at that interval
let me do it again
the question is asking you to determine the sign of s', so you have to plug in
just plug in -4 and tell me what u get
i got a neg tho
the sign of the number is whats important
since u have to plug it into the denom too right
did u use parenthesis?
for the denom?
it should be positive mate
plug it into a calculator carefully
in this case (-4)^2 = 16
top is positive
ok ill do them separately: for the numerator if i plug in -4 i get 819
and denom
yes
i was going to show u how i got the demon neg tho
if i do the whole hting i get a domain error on my calc
no
bottom is positive
i promise you it's positive
u are not inputting into the calculator correctly
first derivative at -4 is positive
do you know what fractional exponents mean
but if i plug in 5(-4)^2/5 in my calc i get domain error
basically, if ur pluggin negative 4, the denominator will be 5 times 5radical (16)
convert it to a radical
5 times root 5 radical 16
5th root 16
oh so its 1.7?
also, never assume domain error means negative
the value doesn't matter in this case, the sign does
it's positive
i didn't calcualte it, but i'll tell u denom is positive
yeah ik the value but im jst sayin that its pos
pos / pos = pos
wow thanks for this, i never did this for these questions
u have to
don't plug in exponents like that calcualtor can get confused if u don't use parenthesis correctly
so how would you use parenthesis correctly?
it was neg 4 tho is that fine?
and if i plug the neg 4 in my calc i still get a neg answer even with the parenthesis
ill practice doing questions like these
instead of using the calc
thx again
i know it's positive because the 5th root of 16 is
1.7
positive
ur doing something wrong with ur calcualor
i guarentee it
yeah i got that too
but when i inpunt something like this but with -4 i get a neg idk what im doin wrong
but doesnt matter anyways ill do the radical thing, thx

Is there a nice intuition for the definition of $D_4$ compared to the other $D_{2n}$?
zander_a
Like $D_{2n} \cong \Sigma(\pi_n)$, where $\Sigma$ is the symmetry group of an n-gon
zander_a
Of course, there is no 2-gon and using a line with two points fails to be group
So why do we bother with $D_4?$
zander_a
Why not?
I don't see how there's less value in recognizing this is a group
Even though it's just Z2
I guess my question is why is it called like this
Or wait, it's 4 elements isn't it
Okay yeah, so it's just V4
The presentation is probably the best way to see why it works
{r, s | r² = e, s² = e, rs = sr^-1}
Ah ok
That's clearly a dihedral group, the way I've presented it, but it's obviously just V4 lol

so i basically have no idea how to begin, the only thing i noticed is that the 1/5 corresponds to the 5th root that the question wants. other than that im pretty lost. also probably know it has something to do with the (1+x)^n formula but no idea how its being applied
,tex .exp rules
Akira
@abstract relic
oh i know that 5th root equals ^1/5
but i dont really know how youd work it out
i did this question on an exam and sorta winged it so wanna knwo for sure if i got it right
i set X to 30 and then substituted it in every term on the series
oh i dont know yet
i just did the exam i havent gotten the test back yet

Did I do this correctly?
A parabolic bridge over a river has a span of 100 meters and a height of 30 meters. What is the maximum height of a boat that can go under the bridge at a point 20 meters from the shoreline?
That’s was the question
Notice that in the question it says the height of the bridge is 30m
930m is way over that, so you can tell you didn’t do it right
The part you got wrong is the equation of the bridge

given a 3x3x3 rubik's cube with 1 edge piece (a piece with two colours) missing, what algorithm can you use to decide how to put that edge piece back in so that the cube is solvable?
so for example how do you make an algorithm that decided wether the green and white piece should be oriented with the green or white sticker up in this cube?
yes. Is there a more efficient way though? for the corner pieces there is as you can give each piece a 'rotation value' of 0, 1 or 2, based on wether the sticker that should be horizontal is horizontal, 1 clockwise rotation away from being horizontal, or 2 clockwise rotations being away from being horizontal, and then if the sum of rotation values of all corner pieces is divisible by 3, the cube is solvable @slate lintel
@dreamy sleet is this maybe a question you can solve? Because this is also a parity issue
You can add the orientation number of each piece
You don't have to solve it
Total orientation must be even
how do you find the orientation number of pieces if they're not on their original spot?
It's a bit tricky, but I recently devised a system for this when I was trying to prove the number of positions in a rubiks cube
This will be a longish explanation
if you have time for it then yes please :)
I'm assuming you have a standard color rubiks cube. White opposite yellow, green opposite blue, red opposite orange, and blue orange yellow faces go clockwise
yes
We will let green be the front face (F) and yellow will be the up face (U)
I'm assuming you know the faces U F B L R D
yes
Okay
The orientation number of every edge piece is zero when it's in its solved state. If you flip an edge piece, you add one to it's orientation number. You only care if this number is even or odd.
The total 3x3x3 edge orientation number is the sum all of orientation numbers of the 12 edges
It must always be even
Now for how we change orientation number
Twisting the U F D or B faces does not change the orientation number of any edge
A 90 degrees L move adds 1 to the four edges on the L face. A 90 degrees R move adds 1 to the four edges on the R face
That's it
You can get the orientation number of any edge at any position by mentally twisting it to it's solved state and counting it's orientation number along the way
You have to do it 11 times, which is rough
With practice, you can identify orientation quickly
Usually 1 second per piece
cool algorithm! I'll play around with it a bit to see if I can figure out why that's true, and then ill get back to you. Many thanks for telling me this. Also, was your attempt to prove the amount of combinations succesful? If not I may have a video you'd be interested in
cool, how about N^4? ;)
thanks!
thanks :)

5 random points are distrubuted on the area of the sphere.
im not sure where to start
Okay, let's try to convert the problem first.
how so
The maximum distance between two points in the same hemisphere is equal to the diameter. Can we use this?
Hmm, idts. That's also the maximum distance between any two points on the sphere, so this does not provide us with any additional info
The only idea I can think of rn trying to prove that when the 5 points are written in Cartesian coordinates, we have to prove that there exists an isometry (only rotational ig), which when applied to all the 5 points give us atleast one coordinate of atleast 4 points to be the same (either + or -)
Should be ig
Can you explicitly state out what you did?
Put two points anywhere on the sphere
and draw an equator
between them
it makes 2 hemisphere
s
remaining 3 points can go in those places
Hmm, I see it working, but need to write it properly
know how to solve for n ??
Do you know the formula for sum of consecutive naturals?
no
yes but it's not as useful as their formula
no just an observation
cant do algebra with c and p
thank you

How did i get this wrong? The answer is soppused to be 63/40

How come
$$\frac23 - \frac19 = \frac69 - \frac19 = \frac{6-1}{9}=\frac59\neq\frac79$$

a coin is flipped 20 times, in how much combinations you can get side A 14 times and side B 6 times while you never get B side twice in a row
I wanted to see how much posibble arengemnts are there while ignoring the second rule and then suntract the illegal combinations
so there are 20!/(6!x14!) different ways to arrange the 20 flips
it's actually not easier that way
so how should I approch it?
it's stars and bars basically
you get 7 buckets between 6 Bs
but the outermost buckets can be empty
so you use 5 As to fill the insides
and then solve for 7 buckets that can all be empty
there's also a very specific trick, where instead you have 15 spaces between all the As
so that's 2 different ways
I didnt really get the first one
how can all of the seven be empty if we need the spaces?
we have 14 As, we can say we actually have 9, 5 are already placed
somewhere among 7 buckets
D(7,9) right?
like suppose you have 2 bars and 3 stars ***||
there's 10 permutations of this, and each one corresponds to placing 3 stars into 3 buckets
1+0+2: *||**
d for distribute?
never saw that but probably
yes

A is a set with 2n+1 members, how many subsets of A have n or less members?
I dont know how to even begin
if S is such a subset. what can you tell me about its complement
If the universe is A than it should have more than n members right?
wait I got confused
A has 2^(2n+1) subsets
you might try an example
eg A={1,2,3} or A={1,2,3,4,5}
what are the relevant sets? why did I ask about complements?
lets take A={1,2,3}
n=1
so the subsets are:
empty group,{1},{2},{3}
their complement are
{1,2,3}, {2,3}, {1,3}, {1,2}
Hm, do you have the answer by any chance?
Oh 
The problem becomes easy if you recall combinatorics
so, we have pairs
S and S^C
one has <=n elements, the other >=n+1
what does that mean for the problem
4
so not n pairs
yeah
2^2n
please dont tell me you added binomial coefficients
so, 2^(2n) pairs and in every pair there is one subset we want
so how many subsets
how do we know for sure that no number was left without a piar?
Yes, thanks to the symmetry of binomial coefficients you just half the 2^(2n+1) and get 2^2n
2^(2n)
but I still dont 100% get this part
the map S->S^C is a bijection
because it has an inverse
(itself)
and because we have 2n+1 elements, we cant have |S|=|S^C|
so we made a func that gives us the complement of a subset, each subset is paired (not to itself)
it is inverseable therefor its bijection and surjective which means the number of the range and domain is equal and addition of them gives us 2^2n+1
so there are 2^2n pairs and 2^2n subsets with less than n members
took me pretty long but I think I got it
If this explanation is correct Im gonna close the room
thanks alot for the help 🙂
well range and codomain are both all subsets
so 2^(2n+1) elements each
the point is more that you can actually find pairs S, S^C and it doenst end up weird that you have a single set S without a partner and some triple maybe
because for each set you find one partner (S^C) which also has the original set S as its partner
yeah thats why its invertable

I have zero clue how to even start these...
well the bottom one involves reading a graph and the top one involves using trig angles (sin/cos/tan) kind of like that problem you did yesterday I think
Oh okay so this switches into relations after the top question
What's the name of the point at which the right angle is located? Can't see
R i think. PQ is the line going down the middle along the bottom to the right
So, here RP + PQ = RQ, right?
Can you calculate RP?
guys, any one can explain what's the diffrene between the courbe and the graph of a function, or lets say an application ?
Ask your question in an available help channel
ohh right, thanks
Ill try give me one sec
Sure, take your time
My calculator can be weird sometimes so I got 0.857...., and 7.349....,
how did you calculate those?
I used cos over 1 = 6.3 over h. I did cross multiply divide.
Make sure your calculator is in angles mode
Oh
Why would you use cosine though? You don't know the hypotenuse
Perhaps using tan(31) could be helpful
(you don't know the hypotenuse and Bean didn't ask you to calculate the hypotenuse)
Using the same formula but using Tan(31) I got 3.78
Calculating RQ is where I got confused.
We know the length of RS and the angle RSQ, don't we?
RS is 6.3, angle I'm not sure would it be 43 degrees?
so 5.87..?
Yup
Let us recall the very first fact that I mention
RP + PQ = RQ
We now know the values of RP and RQ
So we can calculate PQ using this equation
As it's the only unknown variable there
I'm a tad confused would you use Pythagorean theorem?
No, you just imply that PQ = RQ - RP and plug in the values of RQ and RP that we calculated previously
And you will get the answer for PQ
Oh I see. So PQ is = to 2.09
Yup
That helped a lot thank you!
Am I able to get come clearance on the second question?
Generally to calculate a value of the function at a point like x = -4 given the graph, you could image (or draw) a vertical line crossing the x-axis at the point where the -4 is marked at and checking the y coordinate of the intersection point with the graph of the function
But here the graph just crosses the x-axis at x = -4, directly hinting at the fact that g(-4) = 0
And to solve g(x) = 4 you do something similar;
Image (or draw) the horizontal line crossing the y-axis at the point where the 4 is marked at and check the x coordinate of the intersection with the graph of the function
4?
Yup
Hm okay, would this be same throughout the functions and relation questions? dealing with stating the domain and range, and the if the relation is a function or not..?
Yup

No clue how to do this lol
Have u done any working yet?
Okay so the two lines intersect right?
Yup
Okay so we want to find the area of the bounded reigon
Gotcha
Do u know how u would do this?
Nope
Okay have u done integration?
Yeah
How so?
Okay so find the point where the two lines intersect
(0.5,0.25)
Got it
So this finds u the area under the quadratic
But we want the area of the bounded reigon
So what do u think we should do
Find the antiderivative
So find the area of the triangle (using the point found earlier) and take away the area under the quadratic
This will give the area of the bounded area
I got 0.01308
What is that as a fraction
pi/240
Im guessing u have rotated it by pi
Its ok dw
Wait so would it be -pi/240?
But that can't happen because area is never negative
Pretty sure it is pi/240
I did it again
it's pre-calc not calc
Well the course is Calc 1
