How do i get the surface area?
pretty sure you have to use integrals for this...
Haven't been into Math for a long time, but this is what i would look for.
Yes u r right. But idk how tbh

Because the events are independent it can be formulized as 1/2^5
which is 1/32 but it's telling me that's incorrect
what am I doing wrong
2^5 is the total number of events
and b is asking probability of getting either 5 heads or 5 tails which is 1 each
so 2/32 or 1/16
why 2/32 instead of 1/32
oh wait
I understand
because its head or tails,
odds of getting 5 heads is 1/32
odds of getting 5 tails is 1/32
added to get 2/32
I misunderstood
yes

i just dont get where the -14 and 3 is coming from. i understand everything else in the problem solution except this.
where did u get the -2 in (x+2-2)? ik its centered at x = -2 which = (x+2)

Need Help
for a slope less than 0, should the y value rise or fall as x increases?
Fall
so immediately you can eliminate the first two
now, what is the y intercept of the line?
for a line of the form y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept
I was just typing, sorry.
nw
The Answer is C
Just needed help with elemnating the first two.
Was C correct?

Hi I need help with basically most of a test and I was wondering if I could get help here because if I fail the test then I’ll fail the class as a whole
we can help prepare/ review
but not on the actual test

tell me if its possible to calculate the area please
my teacher tells me im idiot because i know math and cant calculate it
we also use sinuses and stuff to calculate area if this helps
What's L?
Perimeter
thanks
Circumference is that of a circle
we say "obwód" for both and use either L or Obw ( for circle we use small l as far as i remember )
anyway, is this possible
yes
you should have three equations to work with, the formula for area, which should be expressed only using b; the formula for perimeter, which you should use to make a substitution into the last formula; the Pythagorean theorem
@tidal junco Has your question been resolved?
can you at least tell me how would first step look like
it looks like that for me
P is area
P is typically used for perimeter, whereas A is typically used for area
that being said, (b^2)/2 - b is spot on for area
im polish and we use P ("pole") for area
and we dont say "tan" we use "tg" we dont use "cot" we use "ctg"
ok thanks for help

Assume a permutation is provided in a cycle form of $σ = (i_1 … i_k) (j_1 … j_s) … (r_1 … r_l)$
Prove that $σ^-1 = (i_k … i_1) (j_s … j_1) … (r_l … r_1)$
Davit
Dont even know where to begin
well you know what permutations are at least right ?
Of course
aight so you want to show that sigma^-1 = ....
so that involves showing that sigma * sigma^-1 = sigma^-1 * sigma = identity
just a question, the i, j, k, they're all disjoint or no ?
@frozen valve
sorry for not responding
yeah right
yeah right they are disjoint
given that htey are disjoint, we can consider each property one-by-one right
so prove (i1 .. ij) seperately of (r1 ... rs) and so on
as in, the product of the two [the i's from sigma and the i's from sigma^-1] gives the identity
hmm
so how would i rigorously write this
step 1: given the set is disjoint, we look through each cycle individually
step 2: prove that i * i^-1 yields the identity (epsilion) function
how would i do 2
well i can just say its trivial right
it's not hard to see why yes

Sorry i do not understand the error
could someone explain it??
because of the squareing in the formula it will always be positive right??
I also tried y(x)=1-(((x-4)^2)/16)
you are writing y(x)
yeah i noticed, changing it to y_x fixed it
but i did no realy know what they ment with y - on top

Hello all, I had a question for solving matrix using gauss elim. I am looking at the textbook answer, and they are dividing the first row by three. When they follow this process, the answer is completely different from mine.
My approach was to swap R3 and R1, but for some reason that gives me a different answer. Could someone help me in understanding when it is appropriate to switch rows? I thought the first row must have a leading 1, so either dividing 3 or interchanging rows would work.
It doesn't matter what is done as long as the algebra is correct. In the end, you'll get the same answer
I see. I must have messed up my algebra somewhere
Thats good to know then, I thought I was going crazy
So if you swap the rows or divide the row by 3, you'll get up with the same solution

hello
so I have a basic question
so lets say
I have 3^3
if I take the cube root of this I will be left with 3 correct?
yh
okay
now
if I had like
(3b+1)^3 = 3^3, would it be mathematically valid if I took the cube root of the entire equation to get rid of the exponents?
this means:
3b + 1 = 3
so b = 1.5
but this works out right? (only asking because ive only worked with cases where you just sqaure to get rid of ^2)
(x) ^ a = (b+c+d+e+f+g+h+j+k+l+o+l+..................................)^a
this means that:
x = b+c+d+e+f+g+h+j+k+l+o+l+................................

How can I find X? A and B are given and all matrices are 3x3
$A^T X B^{-1} = C$
Ann
post-multiply both sides by B and pre-multiply both sides by (A^T)^-1
So I get X = (A^T^-1)CB?
indeed
I probably messed up the arithmetic somewhere then
Can I ask another quick one or do I need to open another channel?
if it's quick it's fine here
generally for different questions you close the first one and then open a different channel
Does this look like a vector subspace of R^3?
That's the conclusion I got too but this was towards the end and it got...messy

@hazy compass BC and AD would be parallel because FD and BE are parallel
Furthermore since CE=AF and since BE and FD are both parallel youd have FB and DE parallel so BFDE is a parallelogram so BC=AD which means BA is parallel to CD

B)
i. At the point $P(2,5)$ on the curve $y= ax^2 - 9x + b$ the tangent to the curve is perpendicular to the line $y=x$. Find the values of a and b.
water beam
I'm not sure how to start this
First find the equation for the tangent
do you know how to find the slope of the tangent at a point
okay
Can u do that?
@gritty galleon difficult
My approach? That tends to be a thing with me 😅
finding the eq for the tangent is in fact not necessary. we need to know only its slope (from perp to y=x) & that P lies on our curve -- that's our two eqs.
I was thinking differentiate the quad. equation, set it equal to tangent equation, sub x=2, y=5
so what should be the first step
U should follow Ann's approach
imo the first step is to write down the statement "(2,5) lies on y=ax^2-9x+b" as an eq in a and b
okay
then write down the second eq in a and b as "the tangent to y=ax^2-9x+b at x=2 has slope -1"
wait where does x = 1 come from
we know this has slope -1 because?
do the things i said & show me the equations you wrote down.
well i mean i just wrote down y=ax^2-9x+b has perpm = -1
idk what youre asking i just copy pasted what you said into my paper
the first step is to write down the statement "(2,5) lies on y=ax^2-9x+b" as an equation in a and b
fuck
how do I do this as an equation in a and b
what does it mean for the point (2,5) to lie on a curve described by an equation?
also why tf did you choose not to ask me the FIRST time i told you to do this.
I dont know to both of those questions
it means that if you replace x with 2 and y with 5 the equation remains true
you want to review basic equation graphing
cause not knowing this is a serious serious gap
well i know how to graph
you don't know the basic principle of "point lies on curve <=> point satisfies equation of curve"
hmph
don't hmph me.
hmm?*
but how do we know its "true" i mean you could make x and y to be anything
well each value of x corresponds to a value of y
so its not "any" pair of x and why, its any value of x and then a specific value of y
the curve by definition consists of all those points, and only those points, at which the equation is true
this is cartesian plane 101
i havent learnt much of cartesian lore
only that
there is the x and y axis
left is negative
down negative
yknow
that stuff
absolutely jack shit.
without knowing such basic stuff as what i said.
fuck.
and now it is biting you in the ass.
@nova snow Has your question been resolved?
So do you know how to find the slope of a tangent line?
You can differentiate to find the slope at x = 1 in terms of a and b, and equate it to -1 since it's perpendicular to a line of slope 1. That's your first equation.
You can set x = 2 and y = 5 to get your second equation in a and b
You have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so you can solve the simultaneous equations for a and b

Show that for $a = p_1^{a_1} p_2^{a_2} \cdots p_n^{a_n}$ and $a = p_1^{a_1} p_2^{a_2} \cdots p_n^{a_n}$, [\gcd(a, b) = p_1^{\min(a_1, b_1)} p_2^{\min(a_2, b_2)} \cdots p_n^{\min(a_n, b_n)}.]
\begin{proof} Let $d$ be an arbitrary divisor of $a$ and $b$. For this to be the case, we need $\nu_{p_i}(d) \leq \nu_{p_i}(a)$ and $\nu_{p_i}(d) \leq \nu_{p_i}(b)$ for all primes $p_i$, where $\nu_{p_i}(c)$ denotes the power of the $p_i$th prime in the prime factorization of $c$. \ To ensure both, we need $\nu_{p_i}(d) \leq \min(\nu_{p_i}(a), \nu_{p_i}(b))$. \Since we want the greatest common divisor, we should maximize $\nu_{p_i}(d)$ for all $p_i$: this is the case when $\nu_{p_i}(d) = \min(\nu_{p_i}(a), \nu_{p_i}(b))$. Thus, we obtain [\gcd(a, b) = p_1^{\min(a_1, b_1)} p_2^{\min(a_2, b_2)} \cdots p_n^{\min(a_n, b_n)}.] \end{proof}
You successfully argued that any divisor is a divisor of that (except for using actual word of division)
I'd just add a sentence to say this divides a and b, to say that the number we find is the gcd
Basically a return to the definition
Isn't that included when I say "since we want the gcd, we should maximize v_p_i(d) for all p_i"?
well it does state that it's the greatest, doesn't it?
oh, ok
How do we show it's really the greatest, then?
This isn't computer science, this is math. Give the correctness far more importance than the algorithm's intuition
You already showed that any divisor has lower valuations. So it's very short to say that therefore any divisor divides that number
Then just show it's a divisor
Do you mean show the gcd is a divisor?
Kinda important yeah
"Let d be an arbitrary divisor of a and b. For this to be the case ..."
We already constructed the gcd after the requirements for it to be a divisor of a and b
Yeah, so divisor => this form
Not that this form => divisor
What do you mean?
This
But
We already constructed the gcd after the requirements for it to be a divisor of a and b
You constructed what turns out to be the gcd
You didn't prove it's the gcd
Yeah, we didn't prove it's the gcd yet, but we do know that whatever we have must be a divisor of a and b, since it fulfills the requirements v_p_i(d) <= v_p_i(a) and v_p_i(d) <= v_p_i(b) for all p_i
We can show that all divisors of a and b in common also divide what we have, if that's what you mean
And from that, follow that it's really the gcd
Yes
How'd we do that though? We'd need the common divisors of a and b in the first place
You have them
You just forgot to state that what you have are equivalences rather than implications
Well, the common divisors are p_1^min(a_1, b_1), p_2^min(a_2, b_2), ...
And those are divisors of the gcd after Euclid's lemma.
So we are done?
no that's the gcd, not any common divisor
just write it out properly once and for all
So just p_1, p_2, ..., p_n?
With exponents up to min(a_i, b_i)
Those are all divisors of gcd, since v_p_i(x) <= v_p_i(gcd) where x is any common divisor
so every divisor divides it, and it divides a and b, so it's the gcd
Great, thanks.
For the v_p_i(x) <= v_p_i(gcd) for all p_i where x is a common divisor, what would be the justification? That just holds after our construction, right?
it was already in your previous proof

- Maximum Area A rectangle is bounded by the x-axis and
the semicircle
y = √25 − x2
(see figure). What length and width should the rectangle have
so that its area is a maximum? - Maximum Area Find the dimensions of the largest
rectangle that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius r (see
Exercise 27).
i gotchu
can you derive the formula for area of a rectanlge inscribed in a semicircle?
hint: use coordinates and the equation for y
i dont know what formula to use
all i can think of is x^2 + y^2 = r^2 but idk how thats goona help here
is x0 the radius?
no
it's the half-width of your rectangle
change it and you'll see different rectangles
but how does this help me solve it using maximums
cause i gotta find the biggest possible rectangle
well, let's find a formula for the area of that rectangle and then maximize it
suppose x_0 is the half-width of our rectangle (it's symmetric around y-axis)
then the width of the rectangle is 2x_0
and the height is y(x_0)
now, what's the general formula for an area of a rectangle?
yep
yes
or more formally 2x y(x)
now, substitute the definition for y there
and differentiate to find the maximum
whats the definition of y
problem 27
broski
"(see Exercise 27)"
oh
radius r
nvm
still, it's similar
if you have x^2 + y^2 = r^2
y^2 = r^2 - x^2
you can from here find the expression for y
would i substitue that into 2xy?
$2x\sqrt{r^2 - x^2}$
artemetra
yeah that
correct
but when i take derivative idk what to do with r^2
OH
you are differentiating with respect to x
when i set it to 0
i got x =
(r^2 / 2 ) all square rooted
sqrt{r^2 / 2}
sqrt{r^2 / 2}$
idk how to use the bot
$\sqrt{\frac{r^2}{2}}$
artemetra
this?
this is good enough for me to understand btw
you don't have to use LaTeX
yes
and than i substitued that into the original y = sqrt(r^2-x^2)
and i got the same value for y
so im pretty sure the answer is $\sqrt{\frac{r^2}{2}}$ , $\sqrt{\frac{r^2}{2}}$
gzus
hm
ay there we go

Is this the area of a trapezoid? I have tried a ton of combinations of the area formula
It looks like height is 15 base is 4 and the other base is 12 then I plug it in and get 120
The bases are the parallel sides
In this case the vertical sides
The height is the distance between them
The height doesn't necessarily have to be vertical, despite its name
So 108?
3 is the base a 15 is base b and 12 is the height
Because the math software says I’m wrong
The bases are right, 3 and 15
The height is not 12 tho
The two bases are only separated by 4 units

Could someone help me differentiate this
$$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^3-\pi }{x}\right)$$
Lex1729
Can I use quotient rule?
you "could" but its a bit overkill
Yeah.. think power rule heh
Lex1729
yeah!
so now can you apply the power rule to those 2 things
(i would say you could)
The answer I get after differentiating is $$2x+\frac{\pi }{x^2}$$
Lex1729
However apparently it's wrong...
well what is the answer? :))
,w differentiate x^2 - pi/x
haha
show why you think that's wrong
well i think the ans is probs in a different form
Oh never mind yeah it was in another form
But why do I get a different answer when I use quotient rule?
If f = x^3 - pi
and g = x
What's the different answer you get?
$$\frac{\left(x\right)\cdot \left(3x^2\right)-\left(x^3\right)\cdot \left(1\right)}{x^2}$$
Lex1729
where did pi go
You lost your pi somewhere along the way
$$\frac{\left(x\right)\cdot \left(3x^2\right)-\left(x^3-\pi \right)\cdot \left(1\right)}{x^2}$$

Could someone help me differentiate this?
$$\left(\cot \left(x\right)+x\right)^2e^{3x}$$
Lex1729
Here is my working so far:
f = (co(x) + x)^2
f' = 2(cot(x) + x) * (-cosec^2(x) + 1)
g = e^(3x)
g' = 3e^(3x)
Just not sure how to further simplify this
product rule?
oh ok
since its f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x) one thing u can definitely factor out is the e^3x
$$\left(\cot \left(x\right)+x\right)^2\cdot \left(3e^{3x}\right)+\left(e^{3x}\right)\cdot 2\left(\cot \left(x\right)+x\right)\cdot \left(-\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(x\right)+1\right)$$
Lex1729
How exactly would I go about simplifying it though?
the right side of the equation to be specific
<@&286206848099549185>
maybe u can use the pythagorean identity
the third one
1 - csc^2 = cot^2
im not sure if u can get much simplet than that
@tired inlet Has your question been resolved?
yes, but don't use x for multiplication
can be simplified further though through factorisation and aforementioned trig identities
Oh ok
Also one more thing
Is this correct?
Not entirely sure if It's correct.

@tender cypress Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
uh
that one is kinda interesting
so i think we should find a pattern of it
so suppose there are n circles, and n is a even number
we have:
area = (area_n - area_n-1) + (area_n-2 - area_n-3) + ... + (area_2 - area_1)
i mean even area
no
circle area
and then since the radius is increasing by 1
we have:
area = (pin^2 - pi(n-1)^2) + ... + (pi2^2 - pi1^2)
since area = 2023pi, we have
2023pi = (pi * n^2 - pi * (n-1)^2) + ... + (pi * 2^2 - pi * 1^2)
devide everything by pi to make it easier to understand, we got
2023 = n^2 - (n-1)^2 + (n-2)^2 - (n-3)^2 + ... + 2^2 - 1^2
simplify:
2023 = n^2 - (n^2 - 2n + 1) + (n^2 - 4n + 4) - (n^2 - 6n + 9) + ... + 4 - 1
2023 = n^2 - n^2 + 2n - 1 + n^2 - 4n + 4 - n^2 + 6n - 9 + ... + 4 - 1
we found that most of the terms will be eliminated
for the term n^2, it will basically eliminated.
for the term 2n,4n,6n,8n,..., only 4n will left, others eliminated
so
2023 = 4n - 1 + 4 - 9 + 16 - 25 + 36 - ...
and the last term should be a negative number
ok i gave up
hope someone else can clean up the mess

how do i start this?
if you are asked to find ln^2(1+x) as polynomial of degree 4, that means that you don't have to square the x^3 term (as that would be degree 6)
that means to find ln^2(1+x) you just square (x-1/2 x^2)
so to find ln^2(1+x) i just have to square ln(1+x)??
yes
you are approximating it
and it's saying that you need to approximate it by a polynomial of degree 4
therefore you need to square the sum of only the first 2 terms
because the rest will be O(x^6)
ok that makes sense. so when ive done that how do i do the second part?
just sub in the values?
yep

Could someone please help me on how I work out this question?
Is this an exam?
Alright, do you have some idea for (a), (i), then?
I know that there is an equation Ae^kt is this what I would use?
Look at model A
Does that look like an exponential function?
hmm no
Yeah
I don’t think so
A linear graph
Yeah
I assume you aren't supposed to put your rules on this and read the volume off at t = 3, so you should set up an equation for it.
You know it's a linear equation

For g(x) = mx + c, you can right away tell c because of P(0, 16000)

C is 16000
Yeah
How would I figure out the gradient? I mean if you could start me off
I’m new to this topic
Recall that it's the change in y divided by the change in x ("rise over run")
So $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.
So 9000/4
Ohhh
Nope
Yes
-1750
Be careful, put brackets, since if you would type this into a calculator and it wouldn't be 4 - 0, your calculator would read it as ((9000 - 16000)/4) - 0
