decimals work here though
my program doesnt mind em
is my work looking good?
i have to rank them from least to greatest so they have to be correct or the ranking gets messed up
<@&286206848099549185>
I would say most are correct based on a slight glance but I can't help you right now

Please do not call it a 3d pentagon
i see nothing relating to a pentagon on there, only a hexagonal prism.
<@&286206848099549185>
show how you got your numbers
i just used the formula but again i dont have my work
i can check it with the google calculator but i feel like im doing something wrong
why can't you just do it here
,calc 2 + 2
Result:
4
use that as a template
wait how
and then type your formula
,calc
Please give me something to evaluate.
See ,help calc for usage details.
well you got these numbers doing some calculation right?
type those calculations after ,calc
type the formulas here

please tell me im going insane and there is something wrong with my work
I think there's an error
Yeah its 5.4, just a typo from her
they also have 2.5 as the mean of the roots
stupid college board
so -0.5 and 4.4 is wrong
Well 5.5 technically cuz you round up
ok thank lord i thought i was going insane

I’m confused with this
How do I solve for infinity? Do I need to graph this and if so, how? The e with the exponent got me confused
do you know what e^-x means?
No
do you know what e is?
Like the natural log thing
yea just a number
its special but you will learn later probably
do you know what a negative exponent does?
Umm I don’t think I remember
I don't think this question needs him to know about e to be solvable
Just deal with it as a positive constant and you will be able to solve it
hih thats what i said
If you understand the limits of $C^{-X}$ as X approaches infinity
just makes it 1/e^x
Sherif Player
he doesnt
Okay
so as e^x gets bigger
1/e^x gets smaller
e^-x as x goes to infinity is zero
So when it approaches infinity it approaches to 0
you can look at the graph of the function to understand it better
You should be able to solve it from here
Oh so what you did was you made the e^-x to 1/e^x? Then you substituted infinity to x and now it becomes 1/e^infinity? And as infinity gets greater, then the value gets smaller till it equals 0? Then the answer is literally just 2/3??
yes!
e^-x = 1/e^x
Yes
its the same
O okay so e is just a random number?
nono
e is a specific number
What is e exactly?
2.4 something
Oh okay
you should google it
its like pi a special number we need for calculus and stuff
Okay
It is just a special character you will study when you get to know about logarithms
I’m in AB Calc right now and my teacher expected us to know it but i don’t remember my last teacher teaching it
2.71828
yup sorry
Yea its hard to learn only from school and teachers
Just study logarithmic functions and you will know about it
Definitely everyone in my class is struggling lol
i dont think logarithm will explain where e comes from lol
Well thanks guys so much
no problem! close the channel if u dont need any more help!
Okay!!!
Yeah but it has a little connection with it so I think it should be fine
very little lmao

What's the difference between arccos and secant?
arccos is the inverse function of cos, secant is 1/cos
isn't that the same?
nop
how?
sqrt(x) is the inverse of x² not x^-2
you might be confused because of the notation, sometimes arccos is written as cos^-1
sorry im confused with this
can u give more examples, please?
you might be confunding the ^-1 notation
when you think of exponents, 5^2 = 5 * 5, or 5^-3 = 1/(5* 5*5)
however, there is some guy who decided to name the inverse of cos(x) cos^-1(x), even though it doesn't mean 1/cosx
to denote 1/cosx you need to write ( cosx ) ^-1, not cos^-1x

I am familiar with a few trig rules, just not too confident on which ones to use and how to apply them.
cos(240deg) = cos(180deg + 60deg)
the denominators should be easy enough to simplify
Bit confused on why to do this?
Are we trying to get exact values?
Right so, cos 60/1-cos(90-theta) + cos 180 * cos 240/1-sin(360-theta)
thats not what I meant
cos(240deg) = cos(180deg + 60deg) = -cos(60deg)
Okay yeah that makes sense now, that is what I have done.
right so just replace cos(60deg) with 1/2, then we can deal with the denominators
do you know an identity like cos(90deg - x) = sin(x)?

Yet another "1=0"-esque proof. I want to know what it means to "un-sine" an equation. As in, how do you go from the second line to the third line and why is this wrong? What are the restrictions? Thanks in advance.
What do you mean by "un-sine"
sin is not injective
so you can't cancel sin
if f(x) = f(y) implies x = y then f is called injective
@full tulip Has your question been resolved?
I'm not entirely sure what to call it, but it's the last operation in this pic. My education system doesn't really get into this sorta stuff, and i'm still not too experienced.
,w graph sinx
as you can see there are multiple x values such that sinx = 0.5
you either write down all solutions
or limit the domain such that sinx is injective on that domain

Referring to this question... I forgot to reply to it.
yea but this is already taken by other question
Oh? I didn't see it. I apologise.
so or 1(b) i got: f(x) -> f(x+2) -> 1/2f(x+2)
so g(x) = 1/2 (2(x+2)^2-4)
expanded= x^2 + 4x + 2
therres a possibility that the answer sheet you sent is wrong

When the liquid is added to a person’s blood sample, it is expected to turn blue if the person is allergic to nuts and to turn red if the person is not allergic to nuts.
The company claims that the probability that the test result is correct is 98% for people who are allergic to nuts and 95% for people who are not allergic to nuts.
It is known that 6 in every 1000 adults are allergic to nuts.
Find the probability that the tested adult is allergic to nuts given that the liquid turned blue.
how would I do that
would I just find the average of 98% and 95%
or would I subtract 7% from 100%

Dyssrupt
comparing with distance formula
you can see it represents a locus of points whose distance from origin (centre of circle) is constant = 1
Another way to do it, is take $x^2+y^2=1$ , solve for y, and you get $y = \pm \sqrt{1-x^2}$, then you can plot $y = +\sqrt{1-x^2}$ and $y = -\sqrt{1-x^2}$ indivdually

I feel really silly asking this but could anyone please refer me to a website where i can read up on the solvability of a coefficient matrix purely based on its row echelon form. Its a stupid little thing that i never got the hang off in my LA class.
My book has a (very) small section written about it buts its horribly explained so i skipped it for like the whole LA course so here i am grasping spectral theorem but not when a mxn coefficient matrix is solveable lol

When solving these inequalities, how does the number line give you the answer in interval notation? because it looks like in number 1 the answer is the red and blue parts of the number line but in number 2, the answer is only where the two red and blue parts intersect
This is affected by the direction of the inequality sign. In 2, The answer is the common part of these lines, because |x| is the distance from 0 to x on the number line. If you go any further, the distance would increase and the value of |x| would be too big to satisfy the inequality.
@wise igloo Do I have something to clarify?
it makes sense when i think about what the answer would be but is there a way to definitively know when to use the intersection of the lines vs the whole thing
or do you have to like think about what the answer would be to see if it makes sense
If it's easier for you, you can think about the answers, but the other, less fun way is just to memorise (give me a sec)
$\left|x\right|<a:\rightarrow :x\in \left(-a,:a\right)$
themathboi #2137
$\left|x\right|>a:\rightarrow :x\in \left(-\infty ,:-a\right)\cup \left(a:,:+\infty \right)$
themathboi #2137
$\left|x\right|\ge a:\rightarrow :x\in \left(-\infty ,:-a\right]\cup \left[a:,:+\infty \right)$
themathboi #2137
$\left|x\right|\le a:\rightarrow x\in \left[-a,:a\right]$
themathboi #2137
That's the whole boring theory, but I find it more interesting to think about the distance from 0 being larger or smaller.
@wise igloo Are you there?
yeah
makes sense. i’ll probably just stick with thinking about if the answer makes sense
thanks

I have gotten stuck on this problem. It is a problem that relates to compound interest. What I attempted to do was create two separate equations that equal the same value (final amount A) and then set them equal to each other. However, I do not have enough information to solve this, as there are two variables -- is there a third equation that I could make so that I could have a system?
To calculate compound interest I used this formula
ok obviously i can divide the z out
but when put into a calculator i get this
this cannot be correct
when solving for pedro's amount of time, i get this. as this is negative i believe i must have made some mistake

So wrong
Sadd
Take a look again into them and try again
your values for A,B,C arent all labelled correctly
Thenn
then what?
What did i do wrong
i just told you
also your formula for the sum for number 2 is wrong, even accounting for incorrect labelling
there is no B
B=0 was correct initially
A=2 B= -5 C=1 So Sum=B/A substitute -5\2, Product = C/A substitute 1/2? Whats wrong theree
Ops
For got something
Wait let do it again

Required
a. Show the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
b. What is the face value of the bonds?
c. Are the bonds issued at par or with a discount or premium? Will the carrying value of the liability for these bonds increase over time, or decrease? Explain briefly.
d. Show the journal entries to record the first two interest payments including premium/discount amortization on these bonds.
I appreciate the effort done to write all of this

So I understand that we want to get it into the reverse chain rule form then integrate
but I dont understand how we get there
Like I dont understand how wolfram got to the bottom left of the equation
Called separation of variables, must be in your textbook. Just find it and read it
God Bless your soul

you overthought it
So the answer is 7?
yes..

Does anyone know why there is a negative sign on both sides
it goes from that to this
Here from step 1 to step 2, it looks incorrect
haven’t distrusted the negative it seems
iirc, you were asking about the same problem just now
and iirc, it's about the integral
thats what im saying but somehow he makes it work still
theres no integrals in this part
i know
can you post the part with integral? i think there are some problem with the ln(Q/C+V)
shouldn’t the numerator be -t-k1?
yea
hmm maybe ill look more into it
I think he brought out the negative
and then put it on the other side while he was dividing
im confused on where the 2nd negative comes from
whatever he did somehow is correct lol
idk about the writing
because he "added" a negative "magically" after he did wrong.
I'll draw on your pic real quick
brb
I gotchu ty
the thing about integral is you can just take negatives out of them so it can be -c (int) 1/u
am I wrong in that
that is correct, you can do that
which part lol
how he got the other negative
since this rule exists
which negative lol, circle it on my pic
there are many negatives in the pic
oh I understand it now
lol
I real ized you cant just pull out a negative
you would have to do -(q/c - v)
ty yall
.close

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
and also, you can just pull the negative out of the ln
anyways cheers!

Hello.
Given the value of Δ and all roots of a quadratic equation (in its basic form), what will be the method of finding values for a, b, c, for which the equation is true?
( I'm talking about an equation that will give out values for a, b, c after the input of the known values)
so you have the roots x1, x2 and you want an equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0?
If you know the roots of a quadratic, you can write the quadratic equation as a(x-x1)(x-x2) = 0
Then all you have to do is expand
this^
Fair enough, but my question is "where did you get that from?"
from the fact that if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0
ax² + bx + c = a(x² + bx/a + c/a)
= a(x² + 2x(b/(2a)) + b²/(4a²) - b²/(4a²) + c/a)
= a[(x+b/(2a))² - Δ/(4a²)]
= a(x-x1)(x-x2)
You might have seen applications of this while "completing the square"
This is just completing the square in the general case
How do you justify the final equality?
It's of the form A²-B²
This may be a not-so-smart question, but doesn't b²/(4a²) - b²/(4a²) just cancel out? (2nd line)
You deliberately add b²/(4a²) - b²/(4a²) into the expression in order to complete the square
because
x² + 2x(b/(2a)) + b²/(4a²)
simplifies nicely to
(x+b/(2a))²
and then the rest
- b²/(4a²) + c/a
is just additional garbage that you don't really care about, but fortunately (at least for deriving the quadratic formula) it's garbage that doesn't include x
Thanks, just one more thing stands out to me
How did you get Δ in the 3rd line? I don't see any expressions that could be simplified to b²-4ac
Put the two final terms under the same denominator of 4a²
b^2 / 4a^2 + c / a
= b^2 / 4a^2 + 4ac / 4a^2
= (b^2 + 4ac) / 4a^2
Don't forget the - in front of the first fraction
-b^2 / 4a^2 + c / a
= -b^2 / 4a^2 + 4ac / 4a^2
= -(b^2 - 4ac) / 4a^2

can someone explain
"the minimum value of () is 0, so the minimum value of f(x) = () is 1" how did they get the minimum value
sqrt(x-4) is always nonnegative by defn
so it is >= 0
and there is a point at which it is 0
square root equals 0 when x = 4 yes
minimum value a square root function is 0
$$\sqrt {x-4} \geq 0$$
Cyrenux
exactly
your function is $\sqrt{x-4} +1 $
\
so add 1 to both sides
$$\sqrt {x-4} +1 \geq 1 $$
Cyrenux
ohhh
be careful though
domain of your function includes 4
if it hadnt included 4, then range wouldnt have included 1 of the range [1, infinity)
no, one term is in square root, other is outside the square root
yeah
still processing this
do you know what bracket and parenthesis difference
yeah
well i didnt explain here but notice since domain is $[4, \infty)$
\that means:
$$ 4 \leq x < \infty$$
Cyrenux
extract 4 on all sides
range of f(x) = sqrt(x - 4) + 1 shifts by 1
$$ 0 \leq x-4 < \infty $$
Cyrenux
Cyrenux
Cyrenux
in still confused on how greater than and less than works when there is infinity
this wont work on every question so dont attempt this lol
just use the fact that
inside of square root must be always positive
for that number to be defined in REAL numbers
you can kinda see it from the operations i did here too
yupp
this inequality here wouldnt have the equal symbol
dont do it the way i did though
there will be questions where you wont be able to do what i did
just remember that inside of a square root is greater or equal to 0
or 4th root, 6th rooth , 8th rooth ... so on
if root is even
it must be positive or zero
nice nice
you can still compare using limits tho
in other words, non-negative value
yes
do you know how relations work?
you take the set A and match its elements with another set which would be set B
yup, I just watched a vid on it to understand my hw better
i haven’t learned limits
i wanna master function before i proceed to limit
function is already hard for me man
i wanna know how to shortcut in foil method
Idk that..
nvm i just learned it
ohh that
that's the relation and function thing
no, it's just a relation
ay i read wrong

domain can only match one element of range
so (a,2) only (This would be a function)
if its (a,2) (a,3) its NOT a function
but assume if c didnt match any element in B
c is element of the domain
would that make it a function?
it would not..
yes
NICEE
now when you are defining inverse functions
you go from B to A instead
B becomes the domain
A becomes the range
sure, you can still check by finding their ratios, f(x) and g(x)
we can define function f such that element of B, 3 doesnt get matched with anything of the domain
this still makes it a function
but when you are going from B to A it wont be a function since 3 WONT match with anything
can you make an illustration of this please?^
oooo
its better to ask in another channel since this is claimed
no
im not asking for an answer
i just said i what i feel
oops also i forgot that u guys are discussing something
sorry
bonk
ok fixed
so top is a function
but its inverse isnt
domain of functions can only match one element
think domain as a child
and range as mother
every child has only 1 mother
now for inverse to exist
mother becomes the child and child becomes the mother
so in other words every mother must have exactly one child
damn
(didnt mention but every child also guaranteedly has 1 mother)
i think child-mother explanation is best way to memorize it
reminder that in real life, a mother can have more than one child
so on function f: b and c are children of 2
3 is a mother who just doesnt have a child
okay i understand
if every mother corresponds to only one child we call it 1-1 (one-to-one / injective)
ohh I remember my teacher mentioning this^^
algebracially one-to-one(injective) functions are expressed as:
for all elements a and b in the domain:
if f(a) = f(b) satisfies then a = b
(also i had typed bijective here earlier, its wrong, bijective means its injective and surjective at the same time, i confused them)
geometric approach will help too
yeah its sent to left hand side
we want to isolate y
normally functions are typed as y=f(x)
to find inverse of them we try to find $$ x=f^{-1}(x) $$
but this guy just swapped x and y straight up
ah I didn't send the complete chu chu
well its kinda up to you
you can just isolate x and type $$f^{-1} (x)$$
\ where you see it
Cyrenux
or just swap x and y and isolate y
i typed wrongly here , i will fxi that ( now fixed)
Cyrenux
ooooo
here is a geometric appraoch to bijective (one-to-one ) functions
you can draw horizontal line
and if you they, its not bijective
if a function is bijective
their input is also equal
can you explain this?
we add 4 to both sides
thanks for taking the time teaching me too OEIFJOSEIJFSEF
np, thanks for baring to listen to my explanation
ahhh
okay completed the example
now I'll actually try solving the real problem
here is an example of how to check bijectivity on graphs
i drew the line y=2
and saw that it intersects two points of the graph
red curve is the graph
it intersects one point in first quadrant
and another point on second quadrant
it can be any postive right?
any line that intersects the graph
not only positive
we could have drawn below x axis too
i didnt specify what line i drew
but its like y= -3 or something
whatever you want to be
notice y= -5 doesnt cut the graph though
least value y can get is -4
Cyrenux
if $$ x<0 $$
\ then
$$ \sqrt{x^2} \neq x$$
$$ \sqrt{x^2} = -x$$
Cyrenux
hint: look at the domain of the inverse
F
i give up, I understand the mistake but don't know how to fix it
at least the domain is correct hehe
yeah
on inverse it would describe interval of y
yuh
Cyrenux
when you square you get $$ (y-5)^2 = |2-x| $$
Cyrenux
we are free to use interval of x and y
doesnt matter
hmm
what was interval of x?
ohh
interval of x is the domain of f
so 5?
aww
domain of f is $$ (-\infty , 2]$$
Cyrenux
ay it's that one
now, figure how |2-x| comes out of the absolute value
by using our interval
the way i would do it is (i dont recommend this way):
since $$(-\infty,2] $$ then
$$ -\infty < x \leq 2$$
Cyrenux
now try to make it look like 2-x
to do that we'll do following operations:
i) multiply all sides by -1
ii) add 2 to all sides
by operation i) we get :
$$ -2 \leq -x < \infty$$
\
and by operation ii) we get:
$$ 0 \leq 2-x < \infty$$
Cyrenux
ahh the thing you did earlier
so its positive when its extracted as |2-x| = 2-x
this is what you did though, hmm i think im high then
you unintentionally did it correctly without noticing
slay?
I hate functions SISEFOJSENSEFSLEF
you dont have to do it like the way im doing though
its bad
the way i recommend is by typing values in it
recommended way :
range of x is $$(-\infty ,2]$$
\ what we want:$ |2-x| = ? $
\ i will take a number in that interval, 1 looks nice enough
\$ |2-1| > 0 $
\ so $|2-x| = 2-x$
Cyrenux
so how do i continue the solution..
since absolute value spits out positive value
,rotate
nvm didnt work lol
i was trying to repost it
multiply both sides by -1 and its over
or divide by -1 as you said
same operation
then its over
i'll multiply since I don't know how to continue when I divide
that or I just divided it wrong
same thing as division when you multiply
i think you are confusing the fact that $$ \frac{a}{-b} = \frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}$$
Cyrenux
also i didnt type it but suppose b is not 0 there lol
you now know this, notice however:
\ for any number a,b,c and where $b \neq 0$
\ we have $$ -\frac{a+c}{b} = \frac{-a-c}{b} \neq \frac{-a+c}{b}$$
Cyrenux
cmds are hard here
nah im just bad
oop
if you want to move -1 on the denominator from denominator to numerator, you multiply denominator and numerator by -1 also
weeeeeeeeee
oh
$$ \frac{a+c}{-b} = \frac{-(a+c)}{-(-b)} = \frac{-a-c}{b}$$
Cyrenux
also we have $$ -(a+c) = -a -c$$
\ notice however $$ -(ac) = -ac = a*-c$$
Cyrenux
Cyrenux
ahhh so -1 ((y-5)^2 -2) then distribute -1
Cyrenux
did i do it right
shouldnt affect inside bracket
yes
YAYYYYY
also did you know this ? $$ (a-b)^2 = (b-a)^2$$
\just like how $$|a-b| = |b-a|$$
Cyrenux
try to expand both sides
(a-b)(a-b) = (b-a)(b-a); Foil method?
you can do that
or factor the right handside like this:
$$ (a-b)^2 = ( -(a-b) )^2 = ( (-1) (a-b) )^2$$
$$ (ab)^c = a^c * b^c $$
$$ ( (-1) (a-b) )^2 = (-1)^2 (a-b)^2 = (a-b)^2$$
Cyrenux
do you understand this
with the given/sol no
which line

do you understand the 2nd line at least
yeah
its power of two multiplications
oh your explaining the distributive
(b-a) = -(a-b) but didnt type
im expanding the line 1 from this
i just didnt type right hand side and straight up typed -(a-b) instead of (b-a)
ohh
$$ (b-a)^2 = ( -(a-b) )^2 = ( (-1) (a-b) )^2$$
then use the fact that:
$$ (ab)^c = a^c * b^c $$
$$ ( (-1) (a-b) )^2 = (-1)^2 (a-b)^2 = (a-b)^2$$
if was like this you would have understood
Cyrenux
then use commutativity of equality (actually symmetry property)
if RHS = LHS then LHS = RHS
(Left Hand Side , Right Hand Side)
oh what's that?
when we are talking about injectivity (one-to-one ness) of a function
\newline
we observe for ALL real numbers a,b satisfying $$f(a)=f(b)$$
Cyrenux
we know that its a=b for every a,b satisfying f(a)=f(b) if injective
notice how im saying ALL a,b
because you can find infinitely many a,b satisfying a=b for f(a)=f(b)
BUT despite infinitely many satisfying $a=b$ ,
\ if there is one exception such that $$ a \neq b$$ for $ f(a) = f(b)$
\ then that function is NOT injective
ooooo
Cyrenux
yeah keep this in mind
"every" and "all" make a huge difference
you can copy this definition to make definition of \textbf{non injective} function :
\
for some a,b satisfying $f(a) = f(b)$ we have $a \neq b$

Hello, I tried to answer this but I am confused about the whole process of solving so Im wondering if I did anything wrong
These are the questions
And these are what I did
Im pretty confident about my answer in no. 1 tho as it seemed simple enough
@quartz yew Has your question been resolved?
whats the original question
This one
Wht do we need to find in This
We need to use the epsilon-delta definition to show proof of the limit
Ayo u in University?
I see sorry cz am still in last year of high school
12th grade
Idk epsilon delta thing
😔
Idk am new
Oh Haha I see

This answer is correct
You guess a value of δ in terms of ε and then confirm that by substituting the value of δ and check if you reach |f(x)-L|<ε
Nice how about the rest?
I didn't check them gimme a sec
Ok cool
Incorrect
😦 where did I go wrong?
|6-x/3 -7|=|-1-x/3|=|1+x/3|=|(x+3)|/3
Oh right from the start ahaha
From here you can see that |x+3|/3<ε which motivates δ/3ε or δ=3ε then you verify as you did in part 1
Isee Isee I'll work on it tomorrow cause it's very late at night for me here 
How about my other answers?
I didn't check them yet
brb when I am back I'll check them and write the comments here
Remember the number of the channel in case it closes because of timeout
To check the notes when you wake up tomorrow
Write on a piece of paper or something that this channel is help 13
Nice will do just that, have a good night/day!
You too
@quartz yew Has your question been resolved?
here it should be $\delta = min{1,\frac{\epsilon}{5}}$
calculus is fun
you need this because you will get the following in the process of your work
if $|x-2|< \delta$ then $|x^2-4|< \epsilon$
calculus is fun
so $|x-2||x+2|< \epsilon$ no if you can find a constant upper bound of $|x+2|$ you will be good to go
calculus is fun
