doesnt this prove its exactly 1
depends on ur course
this... you learn in middle school.
yes, the repeating 9s is an artefact of decimal representation
they are both equal to 1
Well, if we were to talk rigorously,
You would first need to define what 0.9 repeating is
yeah
you didn't prove 0.9999... is 1 yet though why are you using that inside your proof
They didn't use it there
where are they using it?
9a = 10a - a = 9.999... - 0.999... = 9
nvm
They used the "definition" of a
I believe for now you can keep that in mind as the proof
its like a notation thing
in some cases 0.99... can be used interchangbly as one
and in others mostly calculus no
so = exactly 1 right
right
just think it like that it's gonna get complicated if you don't.
numerically theres ins't anything between 0.999... and 1 so they are essentially the same number
but in calculus we treat it as like just before 1

Hi, I know that correct answers are (1; 6), (6; 1), (-1; -6), (-6; -1). What's wrong with my solution?
correct answers to what?
when you take square root, you have to take plus-or-minus
thank you I see now

Need help with this calculus question about the differentiation using the chain rule. I did past 4 questions, and have been stuck on this one for like half an hour. Help is appreciated :)
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
my advice would be to take things slowly
apply chain rule in stages
don't attempt to apply like 4 layers of chain rule in a single step
can i apply chain rule twice in one equation?
You apply it as many times as is necessary
so for the first one it would be u = sqrt x^22 5^x
Sure
ohh alright
leave (stuff)' as (stuff)' after the initial application of chain rule
and repeat as needed
now i know how to solve it
im gonna keep the channel open for now incase i run into some problems
@livid tiger Has your question been resolved?
Wait let me cook

im pretty sure my answer is wrong

What is the derivative of a product?
$x^{22}5^x$ is a product of functions, apply the product rule.
Categorist
yep, just realized this
derivative of 5^x is ln(5) x 5^x
i think i should be able to solve it now
Were I you, I'd start asap to apply the chain rule in one step, but take your time.

hello i want to ask how to solve this question
do you know FOIL?
i have multiplied first row and second row and i got this result is it wrong
uhmm im unfamiliar
show work
wait
oh ik that but idk with 3 row
this is what i get so far
i multiply it with 6root6?
you need parentheses
you could try to simplify the square roots before multiplying by the third term, but yea 8 terms total unless something cancels
wait its like this?
I think of it like a grid
sorry im unfamilliar with english math terms xD
sorry to ping but this right? @dire geode
yeah i understand with 4 variable
and then that in three dimensions

Hey guys so I know we can use infinite geometric series formula but idk
What do you not know?
3 + 3x0.8 + 3x0.8^2 + ...
It goes 3 meters down, 0.8*3 meters up, 0.8*3 meters down, 0.8^2*3 meters up....
can you write this as a sum?
yeah i guess you do need a factor of 2 for the up and down, good catch
|| Maybe first find number of bounces ||
number of bounces before what?
Nvm nvm
There will be infinitely many bounces
Its always greater than 0
we're assuming perfect elasticity here
so it will never stop bouncing
obviously not how real balls work as there exists a lot of energy loss, drag, etc
Are you here?
Yeah
So you need to know first term and common ratio
I'd start by writting out first few terms of the series, can you do that?
Yes
The common ratio is 0.80 right and the first few terms are 0.8 x 3
The common ratio is 0.8, that's correct
As I described here, the slight issue with the series is that it's not purely geometric. You will have to group few terms before it will be geometric. The series itself is 3 + 0.8*3 + 0.8*3 + 0.8^2*3 + 0.8^2*3...
because you go 3 down, then 0.8*3 up and back down (so you go twice 0.8*3), then 0.8^2*3 up and back down etc....
Did you understand this part? If so, do you know how to find the sum?

Hello, is this correct? Or have I made a mistake
I did not know if should do n^8/2-n^6/2= n^2/2 = n
how did the n^(3/2) turn into n^(8/2)
Oh isn’t n^(3/2)+n^(5/2)=n^(8/2)?
Oh where it’s a limit
not even close
do you also think n+n^2 = n^3 ?
yeah
And factor n^(5/2)?
you multiplied the denominator wrong too
Oh true. Thank you
Oh where please
what is 2n*3
Oh.. my bad. Yeah. I will try again
distributive property
its okay, happens all the time
$x(a+b)=ax+bx$
Arctic
Thanks.
Thanks.
Could this be now correct
what is 3/2 - 2
you cant just ignore those fractions that go to 0 in the limit
you cant choose to do the limit "in steps"
first use limit to get rid of fractions and then later for the rest
thats not how this works
alright. Thank you

Hey
Hi I need help with a hyperbole
I have to find te equation of the hyperbole with the next data:
The vertex are B(3,4) and B'(3,-4) also the focal points are F(0,0) and F'(6,0)
That is not a hyperbole no?
Or at least it is rotated
Yeah it's rotated
There are only two vertex on hyperbole no?
Right
or four like in ellipses?
Wait, that doesn't even seem consistent
yup
Even in a rotated hyperbola, the focii and the vertices have to be collinear
that is my homework for tomorrow and I am stuck in this problem
maybe B' and B are the other 2 vertex to find the center(as a middle point) but if it only have 2 vertex I don't know what to do
Idk it doesn't seem possible
I know but that is the only option, anyways we are not prepared in class to solve a rotated conic
so it is strange
And I have it on my paper in that way, maybe the task is wrong
Must be

Hello
I have a problem and I want a hint
Show that the number of group structures defined on a set with n elements, isomorphic with a fixed group G, is equal to n!/|Aut(G)|
I said that there are k maximum group structures and I want to show k=n!/|Aut(G)|
Let S1,S2,...,Sk be these structers with the same order n (and same elements)
I am trying to find what n! means in this problem
I know it is the number of permutations for the set
I feel like this has something to do with graphs
n! is a factorial, is that the question?
By simplicity, suppose your set with n elements is ${1,...,n}.\$
Consider any bijection $\phi:{1,...,n} \rrbracket\longrightarrow G$, making an isomorphism with $G$. If you define over $\mathfrak{S}_n$ a nice equivalence relation...

Let $s:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ be a real positive function and $\sigma: [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ be the parameterization of a curve $C$. Find a reparameterization $\tau: [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $||\tau '(t)|| = a*s(t)$ for all $t\in [0,1]$, for some $a\in \mathbb{R}$.
Casiel368
I might be able to do it if I recalled the case in which s = 1, but I don't
A reparameterization will be a function $\tau = \sigma\circ f$ with $f:[0,1]\longrightarrow [0,1]$ bijective and differentiable. Find $f$ based on what you need
rafilou2003
what is lhs?
left hand side
a is just there so that the integrals are the same
oh I see your problem
but I'd like to find h
or h^-1
I don't remember how to solve this even for v = a = 1, which is what we see in calculus courses
But I was wondering what happens if I get to choose the speed
It's very likely that h is not solved per se, but that I define some h and see that it works
have you tried along the likes of $h = \frac{\int_{0}^ts(t)dt}{\int_0^1s(t)dt}$ ?
rafilou2003
oh god
let's see
Hm okay I didn't try that yet but the proof for v = 1 uses a change of variables to remove h^-1. I can't do that now because v is a function of t and that wouldn't remove h entirely
Oh yeah that works for s = 1
The numerator is the arc length up to t
Huh I think I'll just approximate the differential equation here:
rip my computer
I'll leave this open just in case someone knows how to solve this, because I still didn't

Why would the roots change as value of x changes?
One of them are asking where the curve intercepts 0, the other is asking where it intercepts y = 4
For 0, there should be no solution then?
The curve does go through the x axis
Yeah
and for f(x) = g(x), its when they intercept?
Yeah

help karlo
I don't see why my logic is wrong
Basically I counted number of possibilities
You have to consider 2 cases:
- The lower left and lower right sections have the same color.
- Both sections have different colors.
Both cases have a different number of possible outcomes for the two upper sections.
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Can you explain the thought process behind this
I think you should try to sketch it for yourself:
Let r, g, b be the three colors.
Give the lowest section the color r.
Case 1: give the lower right and lower left sections both the color g
Case 2: give the lower right section the color g and the lower left the color b.
Now find for both cases all possibilities for both upper sections.

im not sure how to continue
do I keep squaring the equation to get rid of the square roots?
From the LHS you can factor √(2x+6) out
first factor out 4 from each sqroot
which term are you talking about
thats what I did
btw your second line has a pair of parentheses that should not be there
also some bullshit went down with how you squared the product of those two roots.
and there is also a sign error in squaring -4x-8

Can I integrate first dr then d(phi)?
then yes?
But i'm not sure
Fubini
then how do you know it works
you surely get the same answer?
I shouldn't be any difference
since it's an area we should have same area right
you either did the dr d(phi) integral and showed it's also pi - 2 or you didn't
there's no ambiguity about it
if you get pi - 2 then yes it works
if you didn't then it doesn't easily work
in principle, yes fubini's theorem tells you it's the same answer, but in practice the integral can be much harder in one order than the other
But it has to work or am I wrong
wrong about what
but you said fubini's theorem tells us it's same answer
did you or did you not get pi-2
I didn't do it actually because it's hard
then why did you say this when i asked if you tried
I mean i tried to begin with it halfway but I saw it's much harder so i stopped
when you say "it works" that doesn't imply you stopped halfway
That's why I asked here and wanna know
well people can't answer your question when you give false information
it ended up in a misunderstanding, sorry!
it's just this
if you don't want to keep trying then don't
no one's making you
I tried to try but i get stuck when i'm doing r^3/3
am i supposed to understand that?
I would love to try, but i need some help
i meant if we begun with dr and integrate r in the nominator we will get r^3/3
of couse sorry
but anyway, I just have another quick question. Am I supposed to apply PFD first then integrate since we have higher exponent in the nominator
Or I mean do polynoimialdivision
,w d/dx ( 1+r^2 cos^2(x) )
You might want to consider a sub?
to?
I was thinking you let u = denominator. Cause du is pretty close to the numerator. You might have to manipulate your fraction a bit first tho
true but this integral reminds me of arctan
isn't that 1/1+x^2
imTypθ
Good vision Yousef
Thank you :)@smoky idol
But should I do like you said u=1+r^2cos^2(phi)
or u=rcos(phi)
but wait this is all wrong
I'm having dr and d(phi) I changed to polar coordinates
so i don't think I can do u sub
Yeah my first idea was wrong, but the second sub should work for the last image they sent
Wait, you changed to polar? I don't have all the context let me scroll >-<
yeaah
Well, if you're solving that integral in parentheses, you can absolutely do a u sub
That is, in fact, what they did
you can still do a sub (we were using x for phi because lol typing phi)
no, the one you found
no, I made a mistake on that one
ya
When you said it looks like arctan, I said that you were on the right track
because the derivative of cos (phi) is -sin (phi)
then we can maybe cancel out the numerator
and we will be leaved with 1 as we want to righ?
1 on the numerator, yes

I want to prove n^3 + 2n is divisible by 3 (for simplicity just for n>=0)
so for 0: it's true
inserting m+1 for n I get m^3+6m^2+3m+1+2m+2 = m^3+6m^2+5m+3 = m^3+2m + 6m^2+3m+3 (1)
now I can assume m^3+2m=3l, where l needs to be integer to prove divisibility (2)
now here is the part I'm unsure about. If I partially replace the m in 1 with 2 I can prove the divisibility for the step(m+1). But I'm not sure if this is valid, also I wonder if this is the only way?
maybe I could define f(m) = m^3+2m and insert that instead of partially replacing a variable?
i am guessing you are using mathematical induction, which is this sort of the way to work with it, and yes, there are other way(s) to solve it
yes its about induction
but I'm currently thinking about the problem of eliminating/replacing m(partially), and I think this can run into some sort of logical errors
would you be able to tell(or show) other solutions?
Usually when we do mathematical induction. there are a few steps that we need.
- proof of initial condition
- assume the k-th condition is true
- use the above to prove (k+1)th condition is true
I think I didn't do it explicitly but the assumption I make for your 2. is: for l an integer m^3+2m is 3 divisible. hence m^3+2m=3l
and 1. is also not explicitly but it's the 0 case I did
provided I did this right 3. would be the issue, which I am unsure whether it makes sense the way I did
as for my habit, i would do it as follows:
Let the statment be S(n).
When n=0,
0³ + 2(0) = 0 = 3*0
Therefore S(0) is true.
Assume S(k) is true for some integer k≥0.
i.e. k³+2k=3m for some integer m
When n=k+1,
(k+1)³+2(k+1)
=k³+3k²+3k+1+2k+2
=(k³+2k) + (3k²+3)
=3m+3(k²+1)
=3(m+k²+1)
Therefore S(k+1) is true
By mathemical induction, S(nl is true for all integers n≥0
right. is this valid though?
yes, that's how mathematical induction works
you also partially replaced a variable at the same spot i did
well induction is not at question
the part of partially replacing a term that contains k(in your case) is
in case you wanna dig deep into why induction of such works, feel free to google!
I recall getting errors when doing it for some things long ago
maybe that's really an error
again: not about induction
I think what is more correct is letting the term there (that you and I replaced)
and then claiming it's 3 divisible because the sum of the left and right terms is 3 divisible (because left and right terms are 3 divisible)
of course, from top down
m^3+2m + 6m^2+3m+3
no
hmmm i try to understand rn if i did this in my previous inductions as well 😄 (that what I question if it's valid)
actually yes
at the point you insert it
the step from the previous to this: 3l + 6m^2+3m+3
i question whether that is valid
actually there are multiple points that worth discussing
for this, it's not easy to explain, shall i give an example to show?
lemme think
for example
prove by contradiction
we assume the statment is false, right?
i think you're right now thinking this through, about it being valid
(but still not sure)
I'll continue
when we assume the statment is false
we can use every property inside the statment when the statment is false
that's how assumption works
but to be honest there should be some knowledge about partially replacing variables
I sure didn't learn it in school lol
it's usually called dummy variables
so now my question is justified whether it's even valid
i mean
a + a = 5, a = b => b + a = 5 hm
looks good
why not just replace all the as with bs. I never did it before(the partial replacing) 😛
which works too
in this instance it definitely works
if it works this way, it works in more complicated ways, unless it has something that obstruct you from doing so
i have a way in my mind
lets see if that works too
alright
i should carry on soon though. but I'll listen to what else you think 🙂
the easiest wohld be
when n=3m, 3m+1 and 3m+2
which with my mental calculation, it should work
all 3 situations can be written into a form
3(something)
so they all divisible by 3
done
ah that makes sense
you'd do something like n->m+1, n->m+2, n->m+3
nice
(well what you did. just using a notation I'm more familiar with :P)
well you used 3m hmmm
that makes sense but interestingly you don't even have to do this
becaue you know for sure if m is divisible by 3 then m+3 and m+6 and .. is too (add 1 for the remaining 2 cases)
well thanks for the help !
you're welcome!
ima write that thing that makes us wonder here and hope someone else can point out resources
open question
Is it valid generally and in all cases to partially replace a variable?
e.g. a + a = 5, a = b => b + a = 5
this is a simple example. I guess if this causes problems they happen in more tricky situations
(If someone knows the answer, I would appreciate resources on the topic too. thanks)
Hmm
I love this word valid
Substituting some variable for some other value, variable or not, has no effect on the predicate when what we are substituting doesn't semantically change what's being said.
So, yes. It is ok to partially substitute.
Is your question that you first sought out to answer, settled?
guessing the answer now really is "yes" it answers it yeah
I think my math teacher once corrected me for attempting to partially replace 😛
but it then must have been because it wouldn't solve the problem, but not because it was invalid
Also, a short follow up on this comment: You cannot substitute whatever you want. A rational number denoted by variable a is not an integer denoted variable b. If both variables have the same constraints on their identity, the naming convention be comes arbitrary.
Since a = b, we may freely state b whenever a.
hm what does that mean for our case(the induction example). where we replace a term with another term?
well that last comment raised more questions for me, but I think it's alright, most things make sense now
thank you

x^2 - 1 can be rewritten as (x - 1)(x + 1), so x = 1 is the x coordinate of the hole right? But plugging x = 1 into the function gives 0, which makes no sense? Its clearly not on the y axis...
plugging 1 in should give you something undefined. unless you're canceling out the x-1 terms.
Ah yes youre right
I just solved the numerator and saw it was 0 so I got lazy and didnt check the denominator 😂 🤦♂️
???
cancel out the x-1's and then plug in x=1
yep

Hey! Can anyone help me out with this?
Have you made any progress?
Absolutely not, im not sure how to break 12.3 up, are the segments all equal?
yes
Okay so they are all 3.075?
Where'd you get that number?
Look closer, how many line segments are there?
4, right?
Can you name the 4 of them for me?
A B C & D
Those are points, not line segments
A line segments is the line drawn between 2 points
so there’s 3 line segments?
It would appear so, at least if we're talking about the smallest possible segments
No because that's a quiz and it's graded, it is academic dishonesty to be helping you cheat on a quiz, unless it is specifically said by your teacher that you are allowed outside resources that isn't your notes/book

<OCD=60
BO=OC
BC=12
CD=?
is BD perpendicular to AC
yes
so observe triangle BDC
you know one of the angles is 60 deg
and one of the angles is 90 deg
that implies that the last angle is what
30
yes and what do you know about the sides of the triangle
wait i forgot to mention, its not the line DC its circumference DC
i need to find the arch DC
Angles
well i think i tried to use the formula but it wasnt the right answer i think
i had the answers and they were differenet
what did you get for it
6.283
are you talking about the arc measure or arc length
length
60
60
yes
so what is the circumference
2pieR
what is it in this case
wtf
nvm
4
Muted them, sorry about that
thanks
are u sure BD is perp to AC

hey, this question is asking me to find which of the four options is a subset of {2j ∣ j∈N}
a) {2, 20, 200}
b) {x∈R ∣ x^2−6x+8=0}
c) {j∈N ∣ cos(jπ)=1}
d) {j∈N ∣ sin(2jπ)=1}
I selected a, b and c but it said it was wrong. can anyone tell me why?
the way i understand it is that the set {2j ∣ j∈N} includes {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...}, basically all positive even numbers excluding 0, therefore:
a) is a subset since 2, 20 and 200 are all divisible by 2
b) is a subset because the set is the solution to the quadratic equation which is {2, 4}
c) is a subset because if you plug any even number into cos(j*π) you get 1, so the set would look like {2, 4, 6, 8, ...}
@unkempt imp Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
YES
C is the rirgt answer
!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.
Lemme take a look
You're correct about a, b, and c being subsets! What about d?
i dont think d is a subset because if you plug into it a number from {2j ∣ j∈N} it gives you 0
Your logic is a little reversed: that would be the criterion for {2j | j∈N} being a subset of d
Remember that "A is a subset of B" means that "if you have an element of A, it should also belong to B"
it doesn't say "if you have an element of B, it should also belong to A"
this is a little tricky to get the hang of at first
but still, isnt d an empty set because nothing satisfies the condition? if sin(2jπ) = 1 then j is not a natural number
Yup, d is an empty set
But is the empty set a subset of {2j ∣ j∈N}?
yup it is :)

Is subbing in the infinity a proper convention?
I know some books don't use it
@wanton sail
It's not really proper, no, but I understand what you mean
Ohh okay thank you
no problem!
It's to be graded
in this case, it's totally fine to think of it that way
So that's why I'm asking
but you might get cases where it leads to weird stuff like ∞/∞ or ∞-∞
Cool!!!
which doesn't make any sense
Then u use l'hopitals rule
Yeah, the point is that ∞ is not really a well-defined number though

I need help for a)
I dont know where to start
addition?
No like what is the probability law that one line vanishes at time t?
oh
the negative was a typo
ok so I'm not sure to understand
even my answer was random
No
Let X be the time one line lasts, what is P(X>40)?
The statement tells you X follows an exponential law
From there you can compute for one line and because all of the lines are independent, to get the final result, you put it to power 3
ok I see why you put to power 3
it's just how did u assume the function was 1/40e^(-t/40)
Because that's the distribution of an exponential law of parameter 40

I don't know where to start, but I know that this uses Vietas
Well we can rewrite (x^2 + 6x + 9)^50 into uh (x+3)^100
$(x+3)^{100} - 4x +3 = 0$
for all roots of f(x)
dabbingpotato
The coeffecient of the x^99 term would be 300
Would we use that somehow

@umbral arrow Has your question been resolved?
this question makes no sense; functions may have taylor series representations around a single point and if they do there are conditions that x must fulfill, i.e. the taylor series only converges in a certain radius around that point (that may be finite or infinite), either way there are criteria to check that

yes
thanks How to know that regularly
property of midsegment
I never understoond what is the third line
I know but how to know to which one he is parallel
the base of the triangle its the midsegment of
what do u mean 'the third line'?

What is wrong with the following?
Objective is to solve the differential equation
What makes you say it's wrong
WA gives me a different answer form which I guess is why I see my answer as wrong but maybe equivalent and I'm not noticing?
,w solve y'' + 2y' + 2y = delta(t-pi), y(0)=1, y'(0)= 0
Oh I see it I think
In my step where I like
[
\map G s = e^{-st} \map F s \implies \map g t =\map {u_{c}}t \map f{t-c}
] I made it $\map f t$ instead of $\map f{t-c}$
I'm still missing a sin(t) term somehow
Okay sigh this is probably very unreadable so I'll latex it all

It is asking for the flux of F across S
I'm not sure how to parameterize this thing
Oh no, so we have to set up 6 integrals?
you could, or you could use the divergence theorem if you've seen that
they're all fairly simple, there's one for each face like you said
and i think they'll all be integrals of a constant

Just curious, but how does I(tau) converge exactly? (And to 1 specifically?)
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
Like I don't see why it follows that it is always equal to 1 
your function is equal to 1/(2tau) over an interval of length 2tau
Ohhhh I see now
I was trying to achieve that by looking at the integral equation (3)

Like I'm guessing [
\f 12\int_{-\tau}^\tau \f1\tau \dd t = \f12\bracks{ \f \tau \tau + \f \tau \tau}=1 ]

cannot see how 1/10 can be moved outside of brackets
when i tried to solve, i expanded the brackets for both terms. But in the solution, instead, they move 1/10 outside of the brackets. I cannot even see how, nor why, this is done
By factoring
ab + ac = a(b + c)
ohhhhh
and thus they cancel
now i see it
3^2 - 3^2
but one has the exponent inside, other outside, the paranthesis. is that important?
3^2 - (3)^2 = 0 ?
i guess it doesnt make any difference

We haven’t learned that yet
I mean I could self teach myself that
But still
Id rather do the problems like how they are in sequence
Since this is still 16.7
Yes yes
I would rather get used to doing it the right way
I don’t think im doing the setup correctly
yep
So, in this case, you divide the integral into 6 sub integrals
Since the paralellogram has 6 faces
It does?
Look at the parameters
x=u+v for example
Intersecting each other
i prefer if you use those equations to find ranges of x,y, and z
Take x for example, x=u+v
What is the minimum value of x
