yup
So you use limit laws
since its 0/0 we factor top and bottom
are you familiar with GCF or X factor methods?
right so you're going to have to memorize all these methods and formulas soon ill help you
for the top youre gonna use a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
the top equation being t^2 - 9
do you know how to square root?
ok so square root t^2
It’s t
we arent plugging anything in just yet
what were doing is simplifying the equation first
correct
square root 9
no
we have to use a different method for that
T-3=(t-3)(t+3)
do you need any clarification before moving on or do you get it
I get it
right
We do the same for the bottom?
no
What’s the next step?
right so for the bottom portion we have 2t^2 + 7t + 3
we have to also factor it
from the various methods this one we use X factor
X factor?
Factoring Quadratics
watch this video on how to do it
lmk if there is something you arent understanding and ill clarify
Ty
so basically you got a piece of paper on you?
Yeah
draw a X
Ok
ok this is our equation 2t^2 + 7t + 3 we have a A B and C value
a = 2 b = 7 and c = 3
understand?
lemme draw it out for you gimme a min
Ok
yup
this is going to sound confusing but on each side of the x what multiplies to the top being a but adds to get b
so what 2 values multiply to get 6 but add to get 7
You can’t multiply to get 7?
6 and 1 is right
so this is what we have
but if you notice the equation 2t^2 + 7t + 3
a has a 2
typically its just a 1
but since its a 2 we divide both of those values by it
What values
these values
So 3 and 1/2
correct
we cant have that 1/2 tho
were gonna multiply it by its common denominator
Which is?
what the common denominator of 1/2?
yes but we multiply it by its inverse
there you go.
2t^2 + 7t + 3
When we deal with coefficients larger than 1 there exists a product and sum method we can use to factor this. Remember the prime goal is to solve this algebraically and not just plugging in numbers close to the limit, which we could do, but would take far too long and is not efficient by any means.
What we are going to do to factorize this is using the procedural method where 2t^2 + 7t + 3
Yes, because for limits to be true the value that x approaches for f(x) must be approaching a certain value on both the left and right handside.
Chickendinner you can keep asking questions.
But until you start solving problems on your own doing the critical thinking for yourself its not gonna get any easier I tell you.
I know but rn I just need to get it done
Alright.
It’s due in 50 min
Got it.
You know what screw it. I'll help you finish this if you want me to.
But promise me you are going to learn the intuition behind the stuff after. I will assist you with solving these other hw problems if you like?
Too much
Mk, well chickendinenr. 2 things. I expect you to be present at all times when assisting cus I'm not gonna wait for you to respond, unelss its solving problem. Secondly, is this homework or a test?
14
What happens if you don't get em in before 50 mins?
Lose some points
Do you want me to show the process for each question and I prodd you analytical thinking. Or do you want me to solve them, I show you my work.
Alright fine. But you gotta promise me after ur gonna learn. I want you to do well, but you needa learn the stuff.
Ok
Ty bro
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.
Don't worry I confirmed that with him, he is analyzing them analytically and solving them. Afterwards I shall be ensuring he properly understands the stuff.
Try doing that one. That one is fairly simple.
Show me an attempt of thought as you said you are.
ima try it
yeah.
also for the -1.5 basically for the graph f(x) it seems that the limit is -1.5 if I had to make a guess as guessing any other decimal numbers would lead to the possibility of numerous things which would be non sensical hence -1.5.
Okay, I double checked the stuff looks all good to me. Analyze the solutions and tell me if you are confused in the working out for any of em, but please make sure to read about how we know as to whether or not we can use the limit laws. I gave a good explanation for that.
I’m confused on the one I’m doing rn
which?
mk what was the fraction form?
alright ill take a look.
I got
5/3
That’s correct?
I got stuck on this one
Direct substitution doesn’t work
Nvm
I did it
It’s 4
yep.
Good job! And here the reason I used the limit laws is because I could infer from beforehand that if it was evaluated the limit is a real number, and not infinity or undefined, hence the limit laws I applied here assuming that the limit is a real number.
Some questions had many parts
Np, just promise me your going to analyze it and understand why as you said you would. Read about the explanation I gave for limit laws and try your best to understand.
Well that is cause your asking for help a lot, but not actually struggling to think about the process. The struggle is what is going to make or break you. Take good notes, and don't just solve questions learn the intuition behind solving problems.
Ok

Hey, pleae could someone help me, please. I don't know what im supposed to do when attempting this reverse percentage question. Tysm
At first I tried doing 4500 * 1.20 because I thought that 20% would be the multiplier but when I put the answer that I thought (5400) it was wrong
Do you know the formula for percentage?
hmm I don't think so
The percentage amount is equal to the percentage Times the original value
Youre looking for the original value, you know the percentage value
yeah
And you know that its 20% less than the og value
So the New value is how much percent of the og value ?
?*
hmm let me think
Og value is 100%
So the percentage amount is 4500 right?
This is 20% less...
Yes
oh so 4500 = 20 * original value ?
Thats the common trap
The original value is reduced by 20% but you arent calculating 20% of the og value, which would be the amount for which the value has reduced
Youre calculating the new value after the og value has been reduced by 20%
I dont really understand.
Okay lemme give u a similar example
A ball Costs 100 dollars but is on a 10% sale
The new price is 90 dollars
Is that 10% of 100?
well it costs 110 before the sale because 100 +10% (*1.1) = 110
10% of 100 is 10
Is this correct @dense socket thanks
no...
oh wait
yea
@odd flower Am I doing smth wrong?
no, he's asking "if the product is 10% sale, is the new price is 10% of the original price?"
ohk
So what do i do after?
@odd flower
@dense socket ghosted me 💀 , was i being dumb
back to the original qs
what the qs give u?
But I dont understand what I did wrong. I did 4500 (sale amt) * 1.2 but i got 5400 but its apparently wrong
that's not how u do it
then?
Sorry i was busy
(new price)=(the percentage)*(original value)
oh np : )
What u wanna do here is put what the qs gives u
The new ball price is 90 % and the discount is 10% hence 90 = 90% *100
So the price reduced by 10 % making the new price 90% of the original
Here price reduced by 20% making 4500 how much % of the original?
4500 Being the new price
hm
Any guesses?
so reduced is 20% so its 80% of orig. So isn't it 4500 = 80%*orig value
exactly
That's it
Yeah now just calculate it
Well, thats a whole different problem
Do you know how to write 80% as a fraction or a decimal?
0.8
yea, it's correct
yay corr
for this how would i do
im a bit confused abt the method now cos we tried so many lmao
would i make it into decimal
so like 0.8x
126 = 0.8x
and then solve?
oh this is a brand new one
the "126" can be seperate to "the original price" and "the VAT"
i dont get it
ok so when u buy food or anything at the supermarket
U have to pay a bit more amount of money than the original price that supplier wants
yeah
sorry i dont get it
yea
back to the qs
Is the "126 pound" price only include the price of hotel?
no
theres also vat
so the original price is 100%
what is the "included tax" price percentage?
smh I really am strugglign to understand
I think ill just do this later to be honest and try and figure it out with my teacher
im so sorry for wasting your time :/
it's fine tho, im not goin to play valorant today =))
cool u play valorant? what rank are you
btw tysm for ur help
iron lol
no problem
cool u in asia if so after i solve this and finish all my work i can help you cos im silver lmao

the x intercept is 0 and y intercept is 2?
why do you think the x-int is 0
I assumed since the arrow on the left is nearing 0
thanks!!!

.close
Closed by @next spruce
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
well every x intercept has y-coord 0
so it still shouldnt mean that x intercept is 0
when you are describing x-intercept, you describe it by x-coordinate since y-coordinate of x-intercept is always 0

can i get help on this problem
try to get this to tanx/x form
so do i multiply by y-4
then i would have to get rid of th ey-2
.
tan(y-2)(y+2)/y+2
so mult by 1/(y-2)
correct
which cancels the numerator
and the newly multiplied one
so its would end up being tan(y+2)/y+2
what?
you cant cancel the inside of argument
what I meant was to multiply and divide by y-2
missing a y-2 in the numerator
multiplay again
Dyssrupt
tan(y+2)(y-2)(y-2)/(y+2)(y-2)
where would i tbe
i just wrote it out for you
you now have tanx/x form
Like this
,rotate
yeah
@honest frigate Has your question been resolved?

Hi
I had to choose 5 equations where the implication can be replaced by a biimplication
I dont know how I messed up here?
4 is wrong ?
No, who said so?
test said
Well
$$x^2+y^2=(x+iy)(x-iy)$$
Categorist
I don't understand this format. Are you using a Computer Assessment System?
I think so
Choice 1 is false. I mean, $x=-1$ and $y=3$ you have that $-3<0$ but -$1+3\neq 0$
Categorist
Yeah im given a few different ones
its so hard for met o explain, sorry, because i cant see the original options

Is there an example of a set S, a binary operation on S, and two different elements $e_1,e_2 \in S$ such that for all a $\in S, e_1a=a$ and $ae_2=a$?. Prove if there is not one.
.doc
I attempted a proof, I need to help with my proof writing, ie coming up with correct arguments
My idea is just one liner, e1*e2=e2 (since e1 is left identity)
also e1*e2=e1 ( e2 is right identity)
thus e1*e2 is equal to different element which aren't same, it sort of cannot happen
how do I write this more formally?
it's a proof by contradiction ?

I'm trying to solve an integer: (x/(x+1)(x^2+4))dx. From here I do this: x/(x+1)(x^2+4) = A/x+1 + (Bx+C)/x^2+4 and then it becomes x=A(x^+2+4)+(Bx+C)(x+1) and from here I do different substituions with number to try to find A,B,C so I can solve it but I keep getting the wrong numbers.
My apologies, I'm having difficulties understanding how you got to that conclusion
just 1-1=?
?
0
yes
so -1=a(1+4)
So it's A=-1/5
yup
Hold on, we have x=-1 -> -1= A+B+-B-C+4A+C and what I've written there is wrong cuz I overlooked (-1)^2 = 1, and from here we get -1=0
i looked for first line , wait
idk cus u have -c ,
if u took (-1)^2 =-1 there stiill no c
Right, there is a -c, I accidentally crossed the A with -C. So we actually get -1=A-C, is that right?
blue?
blue line is better to solve than black
cus u see easy that x=-1 delete bx+c
and u have only a
how u got $-1&=1-c-2c+2-c?$

@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Not actually asking the question leads to you confusing everyone, you're asking someone to take responsibility of answering your question, which may be a lot to ask depending on the question. You're slowing down the process of actually getting an answer because you have to wait for a round of "are you there" "yes i'm there" "ok" ... waiting (posts question), that's like 4 back and forth-s before actually even starting the work on the problem. In addition, the process of formulating and asking a good question may many times help you realize what you missed because it forces you to review, I've had many times where I wanted to ask a question but when formulating the question I realized I did not even need to. Also, as for why taking responsibility can be bad, the math asked here can vary a lot in difficulty. There could be some competitive math question on trig that are far beyond a normal person's capabilities, or a trig problem that can be solved by someone has horrible at trig as me
I can usually solve most high school level trig problems but asking me to take responsibility for a potentially ridiculously hard problem is asking for too much and you may be simply ignored by many people
And now this is probably the most confusing behavior I have ever seen, opens 2 channels obviously trying very hard to get people's attention
Proceeding to literally ghost your own channels

Someone help me understand trig equations, please
I know the identities but I don't know how to use them
How do I solve this, for example
okay what does sec(x) represent in terms of cos(x)
1/cosx
also btw are you working with degrees or radians
Radians
and also are you asked to find a general solution or did they give you an interval to work with
[0,2pi]
like did they ask to find the solutions in the interval [0,2pi] or not
okay great
Yeah
Sorry slow typing I'm panicking lol
\dm
alright so you have [
2 \map \cos x + \f1{\map \cos x} = 3
]
Try to simplify this by adding the fractions
no worries take it easy. No stress
Like this?
yes great
\dm
now you can also bring that 3 over to the left side too so that [
\f{2\map{\cos^2}x +1}{\map \cos x} -3 = 0
]
Can you simplify this as well?
Wait how does that happen?
Sorry
well like
How did you get the 3 in the numerator
That's what I'm asking
there ya go
Like that?
yes great!
okay now does this like
ring a bell to you
it oddly looks like a good ol' quadratic doesn't it
OH
IT FACTORS
to see it better. How about we make a substitution of t = cos(x)
yep!!
exactly
yaaaas
and then cosx is either ,5 or 1
yes
Ohhhh that makes sense
should be straightforward then for you
Yeah thank you I kept trying to shove a trig identity in there
you can try writing the general solution too for funsies if you want to practice too btw
Nah I just need to get the general knowledge of how to simplify them
Thank you for your help 🤍
fair enough
aight good luck
have a good one

Read #❓how-to-get-help for further information on how to ask a good question, and about conduct in the question channels.
is this key wrong? and if it isn't, can someone explain to me how this works?
It's correct
Basically, you look at the limit in 2 ways:
As x approaches 5 from the right
and as x approaches 5 from the left
In both cases, the denominator will approach 0 (but from above, meaning as x gets closer to 5, the denominator will become a very small positive number)
And the numerator approaches 5
So intuitively you have 5/(a very small number)
which goes to infinity
okay but if i plugged in 4.999 as a test value to see from the left, wouldn't it be a negative value
and don't both sides have to be positive for it to be labeled as positive infinity
alr thanks
no worries man, my math teacher trips eveyrone up with these random errors in keys

Don’t know where to go from here
how could I approach factoring the top
because for the terms with the x factoring out something doesn’t make sense
because they have a different leading number
same for the a I guess
Not factoring that way

the block is not moving, correct?
sorry, the point in the middle is not moving, correct?
correct
the entire system is in static equilibrium, right
ok
so if the point in the middle is not moving
then the net force acting on the middle must be zero, right?
yes
ok, so T1+T2+T3=0?
i am referring to the vectors
if the point in the middle is not moving, the net force along the x axis must be zero, right?
no idea but from your work it is
nope
much appreciated yeah its seems most logical
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.
i already knew T2 was 70.7 though..

What exactly does perpendicular bisector mean in that instance?
If that means that VU perpendicular to BE, then why is it drawn like that?
perpendicular bisector is applicable for a line ryt
wdym perpedicular bisector of an angle
that doesnt make sense does it
Thats the whole point

no spoonfeeding here
how i ca do the C* v,:
show work
@brave tree
I can do the 2th case?
on thatt
is factoring
<@&286206848099549185>
what is the question exactly
with what case i can continue that
cases of what and what are you trying to do
ik this is a very easy question for you guys, but can you guys still help me with this question-
please open your own channel
you want to factorize??
yes
alr
try to group 2 tems together and the other 2 together
then take a common factor from each and observe
is my hint clear or my wording is bad
( 6a²x - 3axz ) * ( 2ay + 1yz )?
some like that
?
what i can do with the extra letters as they are?
idk how do this :,vv
,w factor 30a^4x-15a^3xz-10a^3y+5a^2yz
thats the factorization
how did you get this
what are each 2 terms that you grouped together
,rotate
i first do common factor and after do common factor but with groups
your mistake is from 2nd to 3rd step
the first step is like this
observe that the power of a in the first term is 1 more than that in the second term
what is the power of a in the first term
no need for brackets
what is the 4th case
you reached the factored form
you are done like that
ah
so is done??
ah yes

someone help me with this quadratic formula, 3x2 - 48 = 0 ( 2 is an exponent )
What have have tried
- 3x2 - 48 + 48 = 0 + 48
- 3x2 = 48
- ?? idk how to solve for 3x2
well you want to isolate x^2 now
did you mean 3x^2 - 48 = 0?
yes
i think you misunderstand what "solve for ___" means
because if your goal was to "solve for 3x^2" in the literal meaning of that, then you've already done so.
but you probably want to solve for x.
like remove 3?
ye
you want to divide both sides by 3, yes.
oh ok ty

How many lists (x,y,z) of three integers are there with 0 \leq x \leq y \leq z \leq 100 ?
So (0,1,2) would be such a list while (4,2,3) not. there are (101)^3 total lists, but how many of these lists are such that the integers in the list are in increasing order from left to right ?
lets ignore the equality cases for a second
if you have three numbers x,y,z all distinct
how many tuples do they form
how many of those are allowed
101.100.99
no
All three distinct would form 101×100×99 lists no?
x,y,z are fixed
lets say you have the three numbers 18, 27, 91. how many tuples can you make with these
how many of those are allowed
Ohh 3!
yes
only 1 is allowed
yes
so you can just calculate the number of all tuples and divide by 6
and then something similar if eg x=y
hmm (101×100×99)/6?
So for each tuple (x,y,z) there are 3! lists (or permutations) and only 1 of them obey the inequality
yes
hmm okay and now just add the cases when x=y , y=z and x=y=z ignoring the case when x=z \neq y (because it will obey the inequality)
Alright thanks

Why would there be a total of only 2 solutions for (sinx-1)(tanx+2) = 0
wouldnt it be 3 solutions
because there are 2 solutions to tanx = -2
right
and one solution for sinx = 1
so thats 3 in total
(the question asks for the total amount of solutions that exist between 0 and 2pi)
this is the provided answer
pi/2 isn't a solution because, like it says, tan(pi/2) is undefined.
how did we get pi/2 in the first place thats what im confused
because arctan(-2) = some nasty looking angle
but pi/2 i dont know where you get that from
read the stuff before that
Sin(pi/2)=1
yeah i understand the solution for sin
so it would be a solution if not for the tanx term in the equation
wait so are we combining them or something
i thought we were looking at them separately
you initially consider them separately
however you must also ensure that all expressions will defined at those values
hmmm
wait so the goal of tanx = -2
you are trying to find solutions where tan is negative right
and tan is negative in Q2 and Q4
you don't explicitly need to get the solutions
just recognise from the properties of the tan fucntion / unit circle that there'll be two solutions to tan(x) = - 2in the specified interval
do we need to get sinx = -2 then?
no
the initial step was just zero product property / null factor
something you are definitely already familiar with
so how come we consider tan pi/2 from the sin solution but we dont consider the sin -2?
yeah i get that part
however you must also ensure that all expressions will defined at those values
is sin -2 defined?
yes, but we don't care about that
what happens when you try putting $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ into
$$(\sin(x) - 1)(\red{\tan(x)} + 2)$$
ℝam()n()v
specifially what happens to that red component
i get 0.24... putting into the calculator
but I think i see why pi/2 is undefined not from this but from intuition that theres an asymptote at pi/2 intervals?
tan(x) has asymptotes at odd multiples of pi/2
you can consider tan(x)= sin(x)/cos(x)
which is clearly undefined at values where cos(x) = 0
yes
yes

Hey do you know why this equals to positive infinity but not negative infinity?
is 1/(x+1)^2 ever negative?
wdym?
is square of something ever negative?
no?
then how will this tend to negative infinity?
ah thats true
wait then
some questions like lim(x->2^-1) 1/x-2 = negative infinity
btw i think you mean $2^{-}$, as in, from the left, and not $2^{-1}$ as in, $\frac12$
ΣΑCu
oh so if its coming from the left does it go down to negative infinity opposed to the right which is going to pos infinity?
ΣΑCu
and x is approaching 2 from the left, so is x bigger than or less than 2?
less?
right, so is x-2 positive or negative?
negative??
yes
sorry i dont have a very good understanding of this topic yet
so as we approach 2 from the left we are always negative, but getting more and more negative
so tending to -inf
so its kinda like when limx->1 1/(x-1)^2 = infinity because x is approaching 0 infinitely?
x is approaching 1, not 0
mb
in this case, it doesnt matter which side we approach from, we are always positive and getting bigger and bigger
yeah im just having some trouble whether if the equation is neg or pos
like in limx->2^+ 1/x-2 = positive infinity but limx->2^- 1/x-2 = negative infinity
yeah x is bigger than 2 so x-2 is bigger than 0
and for this case
x is bigger than -1 so the left hand side goes positive?
oh kinda like x->-1, (x+1)^2 ->0?
ok i understand a bit more now
thanks for the help

how do i write this in interval notation
you know (a, b) means 'doesnt include the ends' right
if you dont include an end, you can write infinity or -infinity in it.
so infinity less then 5?
write what u think it is?
(-infinity, 5)
means -infinity < x < 5 (informally writing)
its just a convention of notation
no?
😭
But yes good point, x is an element of is what you should write
Oh my bad
x ∈ your interval
So sorry
Did you turn your paper sideways and write an 8 as infinity?
I thought it's x>5 😭
maybe
New ans-
x ∈ (-infinity, 5)
idk how to draw a infinity sign
so does the less then sign fit in there at all?
nvm i got it
thank you

this is a statistics question i was confused on
I think I don't fully get what a simple random sample is
i thought it's when you just take random members of the population
why wouldn't it be 350 republicans, 400 democrats, 250 independents? if those numbers represent the actual percentages of the population and you are taking random members

Hello. I think the problem here is that they went to each group and picked a certain number of them
I mean they picked group by group
If it was a simple random sample, then they would pick 1000 people from all registered votes in the state
This is probably called stratified sample (? I'm not sure
