stoic gale
#

yes

tepid sail
#

they are linearly independent

#

and then created a differentiation matrix

stoic gale
#

when you get Ae^(2x)cos(3x) for some constant A

tepid sail
#

nvm that wouldn't work

stoic gale
#

haha im sure one could figure out some interesting linear algebra way to solve this

tepid sail
#

okay so usually when you integrate by parts

#

you let f'(x) equal to like

dull oxide
#

Tabular?

tepid sail
#

e^x or some cos(x) or sin(x)

#

that would usually do well

stoic gale
#

keep doing tabular until you get an expression which includes e^(2x)cos(3x)

tepid sail
#

just write it out tbh

#

that's where ur messing up

#

well sin is alterating

#

and e^2x doesn't cchange

#

so like 2 times

#

yes

#

also don't use this method

#

just write it out

stoic gale
#

yes you erase the last line and you would be done really quickly

tepid sail
#

pencil don't blame others for trying to help you

#

I would check your work

#

once you get a better answer lmk

#

hmm

#

just write it out again

#

pencil

#

I'm trying to help you

#

remember the formula for integration by parts

#

and please write it out!

#

it's not recommended for you

#

it can be done with tabular

#

just write it out properly

#

and don't use the shortcut method for now

#

solve it using the standard integration by parts method, and I'll let you know

#

okay, so do it and ping me

#

after you solve it normally, I will tell you

#

Good job!

#

Now

#

Expand it out

#

And bring the last term over to the other side

#

Okay so almost there

#

The last line is incorrect

plucky sphinx
#

Bro help me what happens in here im new

tepid sail
#

Sometimes we do like hs math like here

#

Sometimes we do like college level stuff

#

I’m a freshman in university

#

Aight bro you’re kinda being an ass

plucky sphinx
#

I wanna get into programming ngl

tepid sail
#

When I was a sophomore in hs

#

I wasn’t talking all this

plucky sphinx
#

Dayum

tepid sail
#

I’m not helping you further but just look at both sides of the equality

#

On the step before the last one

plucky sphinx
#

Anybody here wanna help

#

Me

tepid sail
#

Bring the last term on the right hand side over the left hand side

#

I’m guessing ur like a sophomore or sm

#

And bro you gotta calm down

#

You’re taking like basic calc

#

You’re privileged to get any help

lone void
#

Simple

#

so what u asking

lusty trench
#

I'm sure I went through the process correctly to get the answer but it's still saying I got it wrong

#

would you like an image of my work

lone void
#

yea

lusty trench
#

jimmy a minute then

#

here @lone void

lone void
#

hmm

lusty trench
#

I forgot the extra part with $f_{xy}(x_0, y_0)$ so I added it at the bottom, but I checked everything and it feels right from what I see

wraith daggerBOT
#

hanzoh

lone void
#

what did u forget

#

o

#

gimme a min

lusty trench
#

In the Q(x,y) formula I needed to use another line to finish the formula, when solving I forgot that part on the extra line at first but added it in later

lone void
#

that part is fine

lusty trench
#

-12(x+3)(y-1)

#

ok

lone void
#

hm

lusty trench
#

good

lone void
#

I mean I think the maths right

#

that’s all I know

#

let me get my notes I forgot this

lusty trench
#

that's alright

#

take ur time

lusty trench
# lusty trench

I also looked it over like four different times, I don't think there's a mistake in my work, but if there is it wouldn't be easily noticable

lone void
#

idk man

lusty trench
#

that's alright, I'll probably just email my professor

lone void
#

gimme like 5 minutes

#

I got u

lusty trench
#

aight

lone void
#

I don’t think I did it right

#

u should email your professor

lusty trench
#

aight

#

thanks for the help either ways

lone void
#

Yup

lusty trench
#

I appreciate you taking the time to check, have a good day good sir

I'm confused, does graph like these have inflection points, I understand that inflection point occur when the graph goes from concave up to concave down, vice versa. to me the graph doesn't swap concavity, it only looks like it is increasing, so would this graph not have an inflection point at (0,0)?

violet flume
#

only the interval included?

violet flume
#

you can firm this because f'' = -f

white isle
#

there are no interval given

violet flume
#

i mean we dont know that but clearly

#

this is sinx

hollow trail
#

the graph does seem to be concave up at the start and concave down at the end

white isle
#

I was taught to read the graph from left to right, to me it look like it's only increasing, is there any better way of understanding it

violet flume
#

what you should look for is if theres a maximum of the rate of change

#

it does seem like near the left side, the rate of increase starts increasing

#

then it maximizes around x=0

#

then it starts to slow down

#

if we increased the graph in either direction it seems like wed see the function turn around

#

however we are clearly looking at an interval where the function begins to increase, tops out, then starts to increase much more slowly, nearly stopping

white isle
#

so any small changes of increasing/ decreasing can indicate that graph potentially has an inflection point

violet flume
#

i mean its not really a small change

#

you just have to know what to look for

violet flume
#

like here, the function becomes more steeply increasing towards x=0

#

but after x=0 it looks like its becoming a much more slowly increasing function

#

this suggests x=0 is an inflection point

white isle
#

would it be bad to visualize it with tangent lines? also are there function in which inflection points don't exist in?

violet flume
#

no, as long as you know what you are looking for

white isle
#

ok, I think I understand, in this case my graph will have an inflection point at (0,0) because the rate of change decreases after passing that point

violet flume
#

yes

white isle
#

also are there function in which inflection points don't exist in?

violet flume
#

yes

#

not to be crass but you should invent one

#

can you think of a function where the rate of change only increases?

#

hint: ||what if it was just a positive constant?||

white isle
#

ohh

violet flume
#

and loosely you should be able to visualize what these look like

#

i guess really loosely thonk

white isle
#

yup an function like f(x) = x

violet flume
#

yea thats sort of a uhh

#

i mean thatd be like a dummy example

#

heres a function with no curvature

#

y=2 works in the same way

#

you might consider a less trivial example like x^2

#

(the rate of change only increases)

#

and like wise maybe x^2+4, x^4 + x^2,

white isle
#

got, may I ask another question separate to the one above

violet flume
#

yea although its encouraged to start a new channel

#

i will hang out happy

white isle
#

I was given a function f(x) = (x+1)^5-5x-2 and it asked whether it was concave up bewteen interval (-1, infinity), I got x = -1, but I confused on how I would draw an line of interval and understand the right hand side of the interval

violet flume
#

understand?

#

What do you mean in this context

#

what do you mean understand the right side?

white isle
#

I know x = -1

violet flume
#

can you add more context here, what do you mean you got x=-1

white isle
#

was given a function f(x) = (x+1)^5-5x-2 and it want me to find whether concave up bewteen interval (-1, infinity), to find concavity at the point I learned that we must differentiate the function twice, which I did

violet flume
#

okay, so you differentiated f(x) to get f''(x)

white isle
#

yea, I got x from simplifying f"(x)

violet flume
#

so you mean that you started from f(x), you obtained f''(x), and you found that x=-1 is a solution to f''(x)=0

#

can you classify the point x = -1 in the context of this discovery? what kind of point is it?

white isle
#

I think it, that this point is potentially a point of inflection, but the question wants us to determine whether it is concave up

violet flume
#

so you found an inflection point

white isle
#

I lost on how to do that

violet flume
#

inflection points are places where the concavity of the function changes

#

potentially

#

lemme see theres an image that might be helpful

#

im gonna toss a few

#

whats important to know is that the concavity is given by your second derivative

#

so you can create some equivalent statements, like

#

if f'' > 0 on an interval, the function is concave up there

#

the function has positive concavity i guess you could say thonk

#

just like how we might say, if f' > 0 on some interval, the function is increasing there

#

all of this to mean, you found the place where the concavity changes, right

#

you solved f'' = 0 and got x = -1

#

does f'' change at x=-1 to become positive?

#

aka, does the function have an inflection point at x=-1, and then become concave up?

#

@white isle blobsweat doin okay?

white isle
#

I'm confused

#

how would we interept the left side and right side of the inflection point

violet flume
#

how do you feel about critical points?

#

i know this is not what you asked

white isle
#

f'(x)?

violet flume
#

yea like

#

if i said oh heres some function

#

find where its increasing

#

give me all the maximum and minimums using the derivative

#

find where its decreasing

#

conceptually do you feel okay with that process? how the derivative helps you to find these intervals and points?

white isle
#

yea

violet flume
#

so, one way to think about all this inflection point stuff, is to just kind of use blinders, and apply all of this intuition again to a new function (the derivative of f)

#

you feel good with being given f, and using f' to find all that stuff

#

so now pretend f' is just some g, and we want to look at g'

violet flume
#

and to the left f would be decreasing, and to the right f would be increasing

#

you just change the words around

#

if f'' was 0 somewhere, and to the left it was negative, and to the right it was positive, youd have found an inflection point

#

and to the left f would be concave down, and to the right f would be concave up

#

idk if this is helpful sadcat i promise im trying lol

white isle
#

I understand what you are saying, but what confuses me is mainly the definitions, I guess, for example f'' > 0 on an interval, the function is concave up what am I suppose to do with my x value?, once I get f'(x) or f''(x) and the values of x, I don't really understand what i suppose to do with the values of x that I get from solving these functions

violet flume
#

you have f'', so you can answer questions about concavity

#

they ask you if f is concave up somewhere

#

so all you need to answer is if f'' > 0 there

#

these are equivalent

#

presumably you found all the places where f'' = 0

#

its on the edge of the interval

#

so all that remains to check is that f'' > 0 somewhere on our interval

white isle
violet flume
#

yea, which works here because there are no 0s on our interval, right?

#

you have this nice, continuous f''

#

it has no 0's on our interval

#

so if its positive somewhere, it has to be positive everywhere

#

because otherwise itd have to cross through 0 to become negative

#

it doesnt matter what theorem it is smugCatto

#

intermediate thonk

#

intermediate value theorem happy

white isle
#

oh got it, if postive then concave up, if negative concave down. for critcal numbers they just local minimum and maximums, but what happens when f'(x) = DNE, what does that tell use about f"(x)?

#

I am butchering everything you said sorry about that

violet flume
#

hmm can you think of a f which is defined at some x=a but f'(a) is not defined but f'' is defined

violet flume
#

that is, maybe, its more helpful to think of them in the other way around, if youre hunting for intuition

#

higher derivatives give you information about lower derivatives, not the other way around

#

idk if that makes sense, but thats how id think about it

violet flume
#

critical points are to f' as inflection points are to f''

#

and if f' being DNE somewhere means f'' is DNE there i think it could be an inflection point too thonk

#

but just by definition

#

see i think like

#

1/x is maybe an example

#

f'(0) is not defined

#

neither is f''(0)

#

and in fact the curvature of this function never changes

#

youd call x=0 a critical point because f' does not exist there

#

if i remember rightly thonk

#

but the curvature doesnt change, so its not an inflection point

#

and actually i think that a point where f'' is not defined is not an inflection point even if the concavity changes sign there thonk

#

these are pathological cases though

#

or maybe better say they arent interesting because they are either defined to be or not be

#

sorry im babbling blobsweat

white isle
#

ok, i got it

violet flume
#

the curvature can change over a point where f or f' or f'' is not defined

#

or it can not change

#

its not enough information

#

f(x) = 1/x^2 has a change in curvature at x=0

#

f(x) = 1/x doesnt

#

just depends

white isle
#

thanks for your help, it has been a pleasure

violet flume
#

hope it was helpful

#

have a good one

white isle
#

you too

Practicing for extracurricular math test, these are the questions i'm completely stuck on and made no progress

  1. Let a be a number such that a^4 + a^3 + a^2 + a + 1 = 0. find a^2000 + a^2010 + 1
  2. Polynomial functions satisfy f(y)=3y^2 - y + 1 and F(G(y))= 12y^4 - 62y^2 + 81

what are all possible values for the sum of the coefficients of G(y)

  1. Cuz i don't understand the symbols. Define f : {x|x<=0, xER} => R with f(x)=|x| and find inverse

  2. Prove or disprove that the graphs y=f(x) and x=f(y) must intersect

  3. For what values of a is the function f(x) = x/(x-a) its own inverse

violet flume
#

on 3, the problem is saying: Define a function f, which maps non-positive real numbers to the reals, by f(x) = |x|

lunar radish
#

thx

#

anything else?

violet flume
#

you should be able to figure out 4 by just guessing

lunar radish
#

how

violet flume
#

by guessing, guess an example that disproves it

#

what functions have you tried

lunar radish
#

well none really

#

hm

#

i can't figure out a counter example

violet flume
#

you havent tried enough

#

lets start with a constant

#

x=2 y=2

#

whats the problem

lunar radish
#

any value would work?

#

wouldn't it just become two equations of 2=f(2)

violet flume
#

no im asking

#

like

#

lets design one

#

im telling you its false

#

they say x=f(y) and y=f(x) always have to intersect

#

its not true

#

whats the problem with f=2

lunar radish
#

i know

violet flume
#

so x=2 and y=2

#

this is just a preliminary guess, its the easiest guess

#

if it doesnt work, maybe we can qualify the reason why it doesnt work, and make a better guess

lunar radish
#

why doesn't it work

violet flume
#

something slightly less easy but better informed

#

right, why doesnt it work

#

what does the graph of these two functions look like

#

what quality of the graphs make it not work

lunar radish
#

wouldn't x=2 and y=2 just give y=f(2) and x=f(2)

#

so y=x

violet flume
#

x=2 is just a line

lunar radish
#

i'm kinda confused

violet flume
#

its all the places where x is 2

lunar radish
#

right

violet flume
#

so any y value, but x is 2

#

so, x=2 is a vertical line, its straight

#

y=2 is the other way, all x, but anywhere y =2

lunar radish
#

ad y=2 is horizontal

violet flume
#

so its horizontal

#

yea, exactly

lunar radish
#

but they intersect

violet flume
#

whats the problem here

#

yea

#

at (2,2)

#

but i mean

#

what do you expect, theyre straight, right

lunar radish
#

yeah

violet flume
#

if they curved

#

maybe we could get lucky

lunar radish
#

yeah

violet flume
#

so, really, we want a function that kind of bends up and away

#

can you think of a function like that

lunar radish
#

sqrt

violet flume
#

something that maybe sort of bottoms out, and goes up towards infinity on each side

#

okay, we can try that

lunar radish
#

oh

#

x^2

violet flume
#

sure

#

its better, but its still not perfect

#

,w plot y=x^2 and x=y^2

lunar radish
#

+5

violet flume
#

,w plot y= x^2 + 5 and x=y^2 + 5

violet flume
lunar radish
#

yay

#

OH

#

WAIT

#

i'm kinda dumb

#

they're basically two things

#

that are

#

like

#

perpendicular

#

i just can't visualize it

violet flume
#

i get what you mean

#

this x=f(y) and y=f(x) thing flips the functions over the line y=x

lunar radish
#

yeah

violet flume
#

so, if you can find a function that doesnt cross that line

#

the functions wont intersect, either

lunar radish
#

can yo uwork me through the polynomial one

#

Let a be a number such that a^4 + a^3 + a^2 + a + 1 = 0. find a^2000 + a^2010 + 1

#

i feel like i just missed a concept

#

not supposed to be a hard question

violet flume
#

idk this is like challenge math

#

not my area of expertise

lunar radish
#

k it's fine

violet flume
#

for 5, im sure theres some way to guess

#

but, you could just use the definition of inverse

#

you want f is its own inverse

#

so f(f(x)) = x

#

its not fun, but this will get you the answer

lunar radish
violet flume
#

close

#

wait

#

yea thats fine

lunar radish
#

wait i didn't do it right i think

violet flume
#

nah, this seems right

#

assume x != 0

#

so x - ax + a^2 - 1 = 0

#

then uhh thonk

lunar radish
#

yeah

#

i'm screwed

violet flume
#

we want this to be true regardless of x value right

#

so i think we can just match up coefficients

#

write it x(1-a) = 0 and a^2 -1 = 0

#

require both equations be true

#

this gives 1-a=0 and a^2 = 1

#

(a = 1)

#

if we did good, the function should be symmetric about y=x

#

(because f(y) must equal f(x))

lunar radish
#

yup

#

desmos confirms

violet flume
#

you can solve 3

#

i think thats all i can help with at the moment

lunar radish
#

wait

#

3 is just

violet flume
#

3 says, you have a function that takes in a non-positive number and returns its magnitude

lunar radish
#

f-1(x)=-x where x>=0 right?

violet flume
#

so given the magnitude of a number, what function maps the magnitude back to the corresponding nonpositive number?

lunar radish
#

negative

violet flume
#

its just negative

#

this is actually part of the definition of |x|

lunar radish
#

but the domain has to be a certain thing right?

violet flume
#

well, you can see it there

violet flume
#

well, you can see this too

#

you know for an inverse to exist, what youre really looking for is that like

#

say you write f(x) = y

#

you want that f(y) = x is also a function

lunar radish
#

range is domain

#

domain is range

violet flume
#

so if you look at abs value

#

,w graph |x|

lunar radish
#

yeah okay

violet flume
#

if you rotate this thing 90 degrees

lunar radish
#

i gtg

violet flume
#

it fails the vertical line test

lunar radish
#

sorry

violet flume
#

not a function

lunar radish
#

yeah

violet flume
#

youre good

lunar radish
#

but the range

violet flume
#

have a good one

violet flume
#

its just a line

#

it does fine

For this problem, I use the tan sum identity but i am confused because tan(pi/2) is undefined. I am not sure how to work out (tan(theta)+tan(pi/2)) / ( 1 - tan(theta)tan(pi/2). This is the tan sum identity after everything was plugged in. can i have some direction?

rain drift
#

I would do it in terms of sin and cos

#

$tan \left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \frac{sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)}{cos(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)}$

wraith daggerBOT

MellowDramaLlama

$tan \left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \frac{sin(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)}{cos(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)}$

somber flax

how would tan(theta + pi/2) be equivalent to sin(theta + pi/2), can you explain that, i dont understand?

rain drift
#

its not hold on I'm getting syntax errors

somber flax
#

oh i see

rain drift
#

it's this

#

x = theta, alpha = pi/2

somber flax
#

oh okay i will try that

#

thank you

rain drift
#

lemme know if you get stuck

somber flax
#

no that worked out perfectly, i didnt ever think to use the quotient identity in this problem. thanks a lot!

Could someone help me out?

cedar kilnBOT
tired inlet
#

How do I write using the reciprocal identities?

#

I know sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

livid hound
#

apply that

tired inlet
#

Although does the 3 go to the numerator or denominator?

livid hound
#

in combo with exponent laws

#

stuff gets multiplied to numerator

#

$a\times \frac bc = \frac{ab}{c}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

ℝαμΩℕωⅤ

tired inlet
#

Here is the full question

#

Thought I could do it, but really confused on how to integrate it.

median holly
#

Sec²x

#

Is direct integration

tired inlet
#

Oh true

#

my bad I forgot

livid hound
#

this did not require you to express sec in terms of cos

tired inlet
#

Yeah, I was just overthinking it

livid hound
#

its recommended that you ALWAYS post the original at the very start

tired inlet
#

Will do 👍

#

Still getting a different answer when I enter it on my calculator

#

Is this the correct way to write it?

#

<@&286206848099549185>

livid hound
#

poor notation, that may be interpreted differently be certain calculoatrs

#

if the calc doesn't recognise cos^2(x),
use more (): (cos(x))^2

#

is this purely for checking an answer you got?

tired inlet
#

Yeah

livid hound
#

show what you're getting

tired inlet
#

I'm getting 0.87189

livid hound
#

and a pic of what the calc is pumping out

tepid sail
#

,w integrate from π/6 to π/4 \frac{3}{cos(x)^2}

tired inlet
tired inlet
tepid sail
tired inlet
tepid sail
#

exactly

livid hound
#

poor notation, that may be interpreted differently be certain calculators

tepid sail
#

I kinda assumed they were inputting (cos(x))^2

livid hound
#

seems like it might be computing
$$\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{3}{\cos(x^2)} \dd{x}$$

wraith daggerBOT

#

What is wrong with it?

livid hound
#

square in the wrong place

tepid sail

not x

$\cos^2(x) = \cos(x)\cdot \cos(x) = (\cos(x))^2 \redneq \cos(x \cdot x)$

cursive valve
#

if this grid represents that fraction (4 column x 3 rows) what number equals to that diagonal line ?

cursive valve
#

Also how would one define math ? What is it ?

royal loom
#

that diagonal line divides the grid in half, maybe you'd call it 2/3

#

however this doesn't really have an answer

cursive valve
#

It does

royal loom
#

and neither does your second question

cursive valve
#

I may be missing the context

royal loom
#

you are

cursive valve
#

Okay i give you a time stamp

#

Help me understand what he said.

royal loom
#

he is asking about the length of the line

#

it is a triangle

#

and a special type of triangle

cursive valve
#

Equilateral ?

royal loom
#

where you know the base lengths are 3 and 4

#

so the length of the hypotenuse must be 5

cursive valve
#

Oh thank you.

#

I confused it with matrix.

cursive valve
#

There is no definition for math ?

royal loom
#

it is just a word

#

use a dictionary if you want I guess

#

,w math

cursive valve
#

Then what does mathematics even mean ?

royal loom
#

the study of math

#

the subject of math

cursive valve
#

Study of a word ? -.-

royal loom
#

this is not a specific math question, if you have a problem you need help with, post it, otherwise close this channel as this is not the point of them

In what channel ?

#

What’s the difference between these two rules

#

And when do we use each?

#

One of them

stone flame
#

they are the same

#

tge second is just the first but square rooting both sides

weak haven
#

Ohhh

#

Alright alright

stone flame
# weak haven And when do we use each?

the second is more useful if you are looking for one specific side, while the first is better for finding the angle A or other sides if thats what you meant

weak haven
#

But they both could be used

#

Right

stone flame
#

but they are essentially the same

modest lily

Hi I have a question it was e^(2ln(y)) = y +12 and I got two answer y=4 and -3 but I am confused whether -3 is a correct solution as in this form its a math error but can't it be rewritten as (-3)^2 because e and ln cancel

tepid sail
#

(y-4)(y+3)

#

y = 4 and y = -3

#

but then

#

recognize

#

ln(-3) IS NOT DEFINED

#

so y = -3 is not a solution

modest lily
#

yeah i was just wondering about whether the form would make it (-3)^2 but it doesn't, thanks for the clarification

rugged tusk
#

I have two pouches, each with five seemingly identical coins, but we know that in the first pouch, there is one fake coin, and in the second pouch, there are two fake coins. We randomly drew one coin from each pouch, and then from this pair, we randomly selected one about which we confirmed that it is fake. What is the probability that the second selected coin is also fake?
Solution: 4/15

rugged tusk
#

can somebody help me with that?

#

i dont get how they got this solution

cedar kilnBOT
#

@rugged tusk Has your question been resolved?

rugged tusk
#

Let F1 denotes that 1 coin is false and F2 denotes that two coins are false.
We want to find out $P(F_2 \vert F_1)$.

From the Bayes theorem we can get $P(F_2 \vert F_1) = \frac{P(F_1 \vert F_2)P(F_2)}{P(F_1)}$

fair geyser
#

it's not "one coin is false"

#

we also randomly pick it out from two

rugged tusk
#

then i dont know how to move forward

wraith daggerBOT
#

Michal

ionic dragon
fair geyser
#

in this case and in majority of cases i've seen bayes theorem doesn't help you

#

you have enough information to do this

#

bayes rule pushes you back one step

#

there are three ways you end up with a false coin picked:
it comes from the first pouch: (1/5)(3/5)(1/2)
it comes from the second pouch: (4/5)(2/5)(1/2)
or they are both false: (1/5)(2/5)
added together, they give P(B)

rugged tusk
#

if P(A) means that i picked 1 false coin, what is P(B)?

#

and how to calculate the intersection? if A and B are independent we can calculate it as a product of P(A) and P(B), otherwise bayes...

fair geyser
#

yeah i can see that, I'm implicitly multiplying (1/5)(2/5) by 1 to get P(A & B)

#

thanks

rugged tusk
#

$P(A\vert B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A)P(B)}{P(B)} = P(A)$ ?

wraith daggerBOT
#

Michal

rugged tusk
#

then why we calculated P(B)

fair geyser
#

maybe i'm not doing that

rugged tusk
#

Let F1 denotes that 1 coin is false and F2 denotes that two coins are false.
We want to find out $P(F_2 \vert F_1)$.

From the Bayes theorem we can get $P(F_2 \vert F_1) = \frac{P(F_1 \vert F_2)P(F_2)}{P(F_1)} = \frac{1 \cdot \frac{2}{25}}{P(F_1)} $

wraith daggerBOT
#

Michal

rugged tusk
#

i think that this was pretty good start, now i need to calculate only the denominator

#

$P(F_2 \vert F_1) = \frac{P(F_1 \vert F_2)P(F_2)}{P(F_1)} = \frac{1 \cdot \frac{2}{25} }{ 1-\frac{2}{25} - \frac{12}{25} } = \frac{2}{11}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

Michal

rugged tusk
#

hmm, its still incorrect

somber lantern
wraith daggerBOT
#

chencking

rugged tusk
somber lantern
#

Try making $F_1$ the outcome that you pick a false coin from your two coins and $F_2$ the outcome that both coins were false. You want to find $P(F_2 | F_1)$.

wraith daggerBOT
#

chencking

fair geyser
#

what

#

how is that different

#

that's what it was from the start

somber lantern
#

Yes. Those are the outcomes the problem gave in the start.
He mistakenly used incorrect outcomes. That is why he got the wrong answer.

#

He was calculating the wrong probability.

fair geyser
#

i copypasted (1/5)(3/5)(1/2) twice in my solution

#

sorry

#

(1/5)(2/5) + (1/5)(3/5)(1/2) + (4/5)(2/5)(1/2) is the denominator, 1 − 3/50 − 4/25− 12/25 if you want to subtract instead

small cloak
cedar kilnBOT
small cloak
#

how do i find the critical point of this

#

its gonna be -(t-5) and t-5

#

i find the derivative of both

#

gonna be -1 and 1

#

-1 & 1 = 0 is underfined

#

now what

crystal raptor
#

What are the instructions of the question

small cloak
crystal raptor
#

What is your definition of crticial point

small cloak
#

idk the definition

spice kraken
#

critical point c means f'(c)=0 or f'(c) is not defined

small cloak
#

i just know thats the value of x

#

after finiding the derivative

small cloak
#

the answer key says 5 tho

spice kraken
#

does f'(0)=0?

#

also 0 is not even in the domain

#

we want to find f'(x)=0

steep umbra
#

means it is not differentiable

small cloak
#

oh so the critical point is what value we substitue is f`(x) to get 0 or underifned?

steep umbra
#

yea

#

if you see the normal |x| function

#

it is not differentiable at x = 0

#

so we need to make t - 5 = 0

#

do u get it?

small cloak
#

i think so , thanks

#

another question , please

steep umbra
#

sure if i can help

small cloak
#

i got this

#

so only critical point is 0, right?

#

because if we substitute 0 , we get undefined

steep umbra
#

i dont think this is correct

small cloak
steep umbra
#

wait let me get a pen and paper and solve on my own

small cloak
#

the derivative is correct am sure

#

no need

steep umbra
#

ok

#

so we need to make g'(x) = 0

#

so the numerator must equal 0

#

1 - x = 0

small cloak
#

wait fr?

#

so in rational functions

#

like we dont just set the whole equation to 0

#

actually ill get 1-x=0

steep umbra
#

yea

small cloak
#

but still isnt 0 a critical point

steep umbra
#

you just take the denominator to the other side

steep umbra
#

but here it is

#

since if the denomiator is 0 g'(x) becomes undefined

small cloak
#

yes

#

what are domain endpoints?

#

idk whats that

steep umbra
#

can you find the domain of thr given function?

small cloak
#

i forgot how to get domain 😅

steep umbra
#

its a sqaure root func

#

so whatever is inside of it

#

cant be negative

#

2x - x^2 > 0

#

whatever x satisfy this

#

are in the domain of the func

#

can you solve this now?

small cloak
#

x= 2

steep umbra
#

huh?

#

That just gives you 0

small cloak
#

how come

#

2x-x^2 = 0

-x^2 = -2x

#

divide by x

#

x= 2

steep umbra
#

yea you set it equal to 0

#

we need to make it 0 ot greater than 0

#

when will it be greater than 0?

small cloak
#

when its = to 3?

#

wait no i mean 2 and less

#

because x< =2

#

we change the direction when negating

steep umbra
#

yea

#

wait

small cloak
#

so endpoints is finding the domain of the denominator

steep umbra
#

no the whole function i think

small cloak
#

but according to the solution

#

its only denominator?

steep umbra
#

nope

#

Idk how they got only 1 as the critical point tho

#

0 should also be a critical point i think

small cloak
steep umbra
#

i just solved the inequation

#

the domain is [0,2]

#

so 0 and 2 are included in the domain

#

since root0 is defined

steep umbra
small cloak
#

i have more questions can i send 😅

steep umbra
#

umm how many?

small cloak
#

2

steep umbra
#

okay

small cloak
#

i read this 1000x times

steep umbra
#

plenty of people here to help you here even if i go

small cloak
#

i didnt understand how it only have 1 real solution

steep umbra
#

Do you get the part where it says "it crosses the x-axis"

#

yes i get it i can explain

#

But you need to ask specific ques

#

see if it even had 2 real solutions

#

if would mean that f(x) is zero at 2 points

#

and if in a continuous function there exists 2 points a and b where the function gives out the same val

#

there must exists a c between a and b such that f'(c) is zero

#

i have done this with arg properties

#

It took some calculations

#

but in the solution they did something with geometry i dont get the solution

#

How do they know z is on the arc

#

I dont know what arg(z1/z2) actually means graphically

#

wait actually i know what arg(z1/z2) means its just the difference of angles but in here something different happening i think

neat dune
#

(z + beta) - beta = z, as well as (z + alpha) - alpha = z. In other words, those triangle side lengths represent z + beta and z + alpha

chrome turtle
#

uh lemme get this hold on

#

i dont understand how we can conclude its the side length

neat dune
#

It's like vector addition yknow

chrome turtle
#

Which side we taking about

#

other than the hypotenuse?

#

The other two

neat dune
#

The ones that have the angle pi/4 in between

chrome turtle
#

oh

#

ok if its like vector addition

#

Shouldn't it be z + (the side length) = alpha

neat dune
#

There it'd be z - (z + alpha) = -alpha

chrome turtle
#

oh

#

I am messing up the directions

#

how do you know its that direct

#

like the way they point out

#

i understand how you pointed them

#

But i dont know why that

neat dune
#

So if you have a vector PQ then that represents a vector in the direction from point P to Q right? so if z represents point P, and Q represents point -alpha, then PQ = (z - (-alpha)) = z + alpha represents the vector pointing from z to negative alpha

chrome turtle
#

bro im ashamed of myself

#

just when you wrote i noticed

neat dune
#

it's aight

chrome turtle

thanks

Umbrella Corporation hired 87 employees, which increased its stff by 40%. What was the original number of employees? How many do they have now?

Set up an equation

#

One side is 87 employees

#

Other side is = to a relationship and 140%

summer pebble
#

wdym relationship?

north harbor
#

it is 87 = 40% from original number or smth

summer pebble
#

so 1.4x=87?

#

and then x=62.142 (63)

north harbor
#

Do you round the numbers?

summer pebble
#

you cant have 61.14 people

#

you cant have a fraction of a person

north harbor
#

ye, the number is odd

how do I convert this into cosine or sin?

#

I know how to work with the sum difference identities but I've only done it with sin and cos values

upper abyss
#

You don't have a sum/difference identity for tan? There's a popular one

#

Tan is sin/cos

wicked badge
#

yes so is it sin 19pi12/cos 19pi/12?

upper abyss
#

But indeed if you don't want to use it, it's enough to get sin(19π/12) and cos(19π/12), then divide them.

ah okay

maybe I'll look at the tan one

#

I think that'll be easier

polar lintel
#

anyone know why its wrong?

cedar kilnBOT
polar lintel
#

ive tried 20k, 19k, and none worked

#

<@&286206848099549185>

safe ermine
#

you can apply the limit t -> infinity

#

on a calculator

#

OR

supple flume
#

Im guessing its something like 19999 💀

polar lintel
#

its ti-84+

safe ermine
#

i don’t have that model

polar lintel
#

hmm

#

mine doesnt include an infinity symbol

safe ermine
#

you can just do a really big number

#

if you don’t have infinity

supple flume
#

If you make t go to infinity the equation become 9450/(0.5 + 0(because it gets smaller)) if im correct

safe ermine
polar lintel
#

yea i did x at 499,999 and it came out to 18900 or so

supple flume
#

The number you add to the bottom gets way smaller

supple flume
#

Cus it 1/26.5e^t

polar lintel
#

so would it approach 0

#

that wouldnt make sense though

supple flume
#

Which if t = infinity 1/infinity is 0

#

Well not true

#

But u get my point

#

As it approaches

polar lintel
#

i feel like there is a method to finding this algebraically no?

#

by solving for it

supple flume
#

I did it in my head by just assuming t is an infinitly big number

polar lintel
#

okay but t is the denominator

#

not the numerator rn

supple flume
#

Ye

#

So it gets smaller

#

To 0

#

Then u just solve 9450/0.5

polar lintel
#

so the answer would be 18900?

#

since you canceled out anything connected to t as 0

polar lintel
#

he sent the answer here

safe ermine
#

yeah 💀

polar lintel
#

thank u 🙏

how do you find the closest approach of two particles A and B?
my notes say that rB|A(t) * vB|A = 0 but we don't have a velocity for the two vectors im trying to find
"The position vector of particles A and B, t hours after 12 noon, are r = 12i + 3j + t(3i + 4j) and r = -3i - 5j + t(2i +6j) metres respectively. c) FInd when A is closest to B and find this distance."
Already found the distance in terms of t and when A and B are 18 m apart
it says in the answers that |AB| is minimised when t = (-2)/2(5)
but i have no idea how that works
i tried solving for the vB|A using the parts that are t(3i + 4j) and the other one in the position vectors and solve that against the vB|A(t) but that didnt work either

@heady sierra Has your question been resolved?

heady sierra
#

<@&286206848099549185>

crimson sedge
#

..?

heady sierra
#

yes

#

i want to find the distance/time when they are the closest

crimson sedge
novel topaz
#

u can simply use the distance formula here

#

then u get the distance as f(t)

#

from there u could get the answer

#

like [12+3t-(-3+2t)]^2+[3+4t-(-5+6t)]^2=distance^2

#

d^2=5t^2 - 62t +289

#

???

#

@heady sierra

heady sierra
#

yes

#

just a sec

#

so i did that

novel topaz
#

t=-1/5?

heady sierra
#

yes

#

should i send a photo of the answeers

novel topaz
#

how did u get distance 18

novel topaz
heady sierra
#

they show full working

#

ok 2 secs

novel topaz
#

my distance is like 22/sqrt5

heady sierra
#

part c

novel topaz
#

ohh

#

do u know how to get the minimum value of a quadratic function

heady sierra
#

I know using differential calc with methods but I don’t think we’re expected to know dif calc for this

novel topaz
#

right

heady sierra
#

Bc this vectors I learnt before dif calc

#

Is there any other way

novel topaz
#

well first we would right the equation as a square of something

heady sierra
#

Would dif calc work too just to know for later

novel topaz
#

yes

heady sierra
#

Ok nice

#

How’d they do it though

novel topaz
#

ok 5t^2-2t + 289 can be written as 5(t-1/5)^2 + 289 - 1/5

heady sierra
#

Yep

#

They just seemed to pull t out of thin air bc they usually show all equations

novel topaz
#

they skipped the steps

#

or they directly used t=b/2a

heady sierra
#

I can do that?!

#

What formula is that

#

It’s familiar but I need the name

novel topaz
#

i dont know its name but to get the minimum value of a quadratic equation , u just have to do x=b/2a where a is positive

heady sierra
#

I’m so stupid

#

Bro I’m gonna fail this exam

#

Thank u so much though

minor crystal
#

1/2 < 1/x + 1/y < 1/3?

#

do i just have to use process fo elimination on this?

lunar lynx
#

Yeah. Just checking for each option is the simplest way.

#

Doing analysis for the question is probably an overkill.

minor crystal
#

since when was 1/2 < 1/3 lol

lunar lynx
#

Yeah. Lol

minor crystal
#

the teacher wrote that

#

no the other way doesn't conform the question's specification?

#

lol

#

i write it as two i guess?

lunar lynx
#

Actually it's two separate inequalities.

minor crystal
#

yeah so i think there's something i can exploit

lunar lynx
#

1/x + 1/y < 1/3

1/x + 1/y > 1/2

minor crystal
#

wait that doesn't make sense again

#

lmao

#

1/x + 1/y is less than 1/3

#

but is more than 1/2???

lunar lynx
#

If it satisfies anyone, it is in solution set again.

lunar lynx
#

It needs to satisfy any one of them.

#

Since it can't satisfy both.
