pretty

#

now the final step, we write them back in terms of x

#

(this gonna be long)

#

$$\frac{\sqrt[3]{x+1}+\sqrt[3]{x}+\sqrt[3]{x+1}}{\left((\sqrt[3]{x+1})^2+\sqrt[3]{x+1}\sqrt[3]{x}+(\sqrt[3]{x})^2\right)\left((\sqrt[3]{x})^2+\sqrt[3]{x}\sqrt[3]{x-1}+(\sqrt[3]{x-1})^2\right)\left((\sqrt[3]{x-1})^2+\sqrt[3]{x-1}\sqrt[3]{x+1}+(\sqrt[3]{x+1})^2\right)}$$

lol

#

not enough space

#

I'll try to write

#

or do you understand, so i can skip writing? XD

#

,rccw

fallen moat
#

not enough space....

#

anyways

#

the main point is not this

#

Now, let $$a'=\frac{a}{\sqrt[3]x}=\sqrt[3]{1+\frac1x}$$, $$b'=\frac{b}{\sqrt[3]x}=1$$,
$$c'=\frac{c}{\sqrt[3]x}=\sqrt[3]{1-\frac1x}$$

which is similar to the form of your last line

halcyon granite
#

oh my, so much text šŸ™‚
i'm so sorry I left for a moment

lemme skim through it

fallen moat
#

we have $a-2b+c$ equals to
$$\frac{x^{\frac13}(a'+b'+c')}{(x^{\frac23})^3(a'^2+a'b'+b'^2)(b'^2+b'c'+c'^2)(c'^2+c'a'+a'^2)}$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

Biscuity

fallen moat
#

which technically i just did what you did in line 3

#

but i pulled three (x^ā…”) out, thats why it's (x^ā…”)^3

#

finally

#

\begin{align}
&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}(\sqrt[3]{x+1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1}-2\sqrt[3]{x})\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}(a-2b+c)\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}\left(\frac{(c-a)(a+b+c)}{(a^2+ab+b^2)(b^2+bc+c^2)}\right)\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}
\left(\frac{(-2)(a+b+c)}{(a^2+ab+b^2)(b^2+bc+c^2)(c^2+ca+a^2)}\right)\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}\left(\frac{x^{\frac13}(-2)(a'+b'+c')}{(x^{\frac23})^3(a'^2+a'b'+b'^2)(b'^2+b'c'+c'^2)(c'^2+c'a'+a'^2)}\right)\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}\frac{x^{\frac13}}{x^2}\left(\frac{(-2)(a'+b'+c')}{(a'^2+a'b'+b'^2)(b'^2+b'c'+c'^2)(c'^2+c'a'+a'^2)}\right)\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac1{x^{\frac5{12}}}\cancelto{-\frac6{27}}{\left(\frac{(-2)(a'+b'+c')}{(a'^2+a'b'+b'^2)(b'^2+b'c'+c'^2)(c'^2+c'a'+a'^2)}\right)}\
=&\lim_{x\to\infty}-\frac2{9x^{\frac5{12}}}\
=0
\end{align}

which tends to 0 as x tends to infinity

oooo, typo

\begin{align*}
&\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\frac54}(\sqrt[3]{x+1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1}-2\sqrt[3]{x})\

Can someone please help me with the 2nd one

#

I don't know where to start

kindred storm
#

The easiest way is to notice that the potential answers are all quite similar, so differentiate answer a and see if you get what's in the integral. Then, note that answer c will be half of answer a, so if answer a was twice what it should be, then the answer is c. Then, try to reuse some of your work for answer a to see if answer b works.

ancient ether
#

Ah

#

I'll do that

#

Okay I'm sorry I don't get it

#

You want me to differentiate option (a) ?

kindred storm
#

Well, an indefinite integral is an antiderivative.

#

So, if you take the antiderivative of what you start with to get one of the answers, you can take the derivative of one of the answers to see if you get what you start with.

ancient ether
#

Oh

#

Okay

raw gulch
# ancient ether Oh

wait, you can check the derivative, but the purpose of this exercise is that you have to evaluate the integral

ancient ether
#

Uhh

#

Is there another approach to solving this?

kindred storm
#

Yes, you can do the integral.

ancient ether
#

Okay

#

I'll try again

I need help figuring out how to calculate Sine without actually using the Sine function

arctic condor
#

currently trying to compute Sine() In minecraft, but I want to figure out how to calculate it in desmos first.

harsh ginkgo
#

There are different ways to do so, but the simplest way would be to use the power series of sin(x). Do you know what that is @arctic condor ?

arctic condor
#

No

gritty galleon
#

why do u even need this...

arctic condor
#

to understand trig more

gritty galleon
#

In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle. The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is t...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bre7MVlxq7o was using this, very confusing

In this video, I'll explain the motivation for an algorithm to calculate sine, cosine, inverse tangent, and more in a fast and efficient way. I'll cover topics like geometry, calculus, and computer science to explain where and how these ideas are developed.

you know whats a simple and non-elegant way to do this

?

use mc-schematic and python to write the required positions in memory (barrel/disk shulker ROM) and then read the ROM through an assembler and then just render the dot at that place

but trust me sin is crazy impossibaly tough and stupidly slow to implement

one moment

#

im helping someone else

lone tapir
#

Okay šŸ‘šŸ¾

#

Thank you for your support

ocean flame

do u know trig

ivory cobalt
#

for JH -> sin35/9

ocean flame
#

trigonometry?

ivory cobalt
#

for GJ -> cos35/9

lone tapir
ocean flame
#

okay

lone tapir
#

Probably not enough for finals tomorrow

ocean flame
#

what the person said above it correct

ivory cobalt
#

For JH -> sin35/9
For GJ -> cos35/9

lone tapir
#

Wait okay

lone tapir
ocean flame
#

alr

#

soo

#

in the given triangle

potent mesa
#

I badly wanna study rn goshh

ivory cobalt
#

Sin theta = Side oppposite to the angle / Hypotenuse of the triangle

potent mesa
#

Give me study tips plss

lone tapir
ivory cobalt
#

The side opposite to the given angle is what goes in the numerator

#

The hypotenuse of the triangle goes in the denominator

ivory cobalt
#

So it becomes sin35 = JH / 9

#

On cross multiplying

#

9(sin(35)) = JH

lone tapir
#

5.16

ivory cobalt
#

And then the same procedure for the 2nd part of the question but taking the trigonometric function as cos

ivory cobalt
#

Btw which country are you guys from?

lone tapir
ivory cobalt
#

Yeah

lone tapir
#

estados unidos

#

U.S.

#

What about this one

ivory cobalt
#

Andre is correct

#

As 9, 12 and 15 are pythagorean triplets

lone tapir
#

Ya lo sƩ

#

I know

#

But I can’t explain Clare

ocean flame
#

?

lone tapir
#

This was my visual but that’s as far as I got

ivory cobalt
#

same here

#

What I think is that Clare is wrong

ocean flame
#

need help or you got it?

ivory cobalt
#

As theta is 20 degrees

lone tapir
#

Isn’t it cosine

#

cos20 14.1/15

ivory cobalt
#

Cos(20degree) = 0.4

#

so

#

cos(20 degree) = AB/BC

#

BC = 15/0.4

lone tapir
#

Isn’t it Adjacent over Hypotenuse?

#

AH

ivory cobalt
lone tapir
#

BC/AB?

ivory cobalt
#

ahh

#

correct

#

wait

#

then

#

cos(20 degree) = BC/AB

#

AB x cos(20 degree) = BC

lone tapir
#

I got 19.9

#

20

ivory cobalt
#

15 x 0.9 = 13.5 =BC

#

Since given value of BC is not equal to the obtained value, Clare was wrong

lone tapir
#

Ohhh okay

ivory cobalt
#

Yessirr

ivory cobalt
lone tapir
#

Oh wow

#

I had a teacher who lived in India, she said overall that it was a pleasant experience

ivory cobalt
#

Ohh

#

It is a pleasant experience living in India but the winters are a bit out of hand

#

cya guys

#

good night from my side

its 12:30 in India

marble ermine
#

Given $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$, $x \in \mathbb{R}^m$; how can I show that $d(x, A) = 0$ does not imply $x \in A$?

wraith daggerBOT
#

lilisworld.

marble ermine
#

i need to find a counterex

kindred storm
#

What is d?

marble ermine
#

i think

#

distance

crystal raptor
#

Just go simple with m=1

#

And then if you need to show it for all m then it shouldn't be too bad to generalise

muted bear
#

isnt d=0 only when xis in A part of the rules of a metric space?

#

Maybe this is too out of my league

crystal raptor
#

d(x,A) involves an infimum

#

In its definition

#

Is why this is possible

muted bear
#

So arbitrarily close, and in the limit, 0

#

Got it

marble ermine
dusky peak
#

you could choose A to be an open set, where x is on the edge of that set

crystal raptor
#

No, R^1

marble ermine
#

ah ok

crystal raptor
#

Ah come on you could let them try

dusky peak
#

ahh sry

marble ermine
#

so d(x, A) = inf(|a|, a in ]0, 1]) = 0? why?

#

if x=0 and A = ]0, 1]

crystal raptor
#

You would have the unpack the definition of infimum

marble ermine
#

still don't get it, 0 < a <= 1, so why 0 <= |a| ?

#

i mean why is 0 the infinumum

crystal raptor
#

What is the definition of infimum?

marble ermine
#

uhm

#

it is the biggest lower bound of a set

#

@crystal raptor

uhm ok i just got it thanks

Uhhh you sure about that

modest lily

I think you can make an iscoceles triangle if you where to draw a radius from O to 70

#

and then you can find y

polar holly
#

It is actually half twice the measure

modest lily
#

then since its a quadralateral you can find O

warped coyote
modest lily

yeah that makes sense because I'm assuming it cuts perfectly mb

when does the log rule apply?

There's no log rules for $ln(x)^n$

wraith daggerBOT

do you

jaunty plume

nah

whats ibp?

humble karma

If the exponent is outside, however, then I guess it would just be IBP (integration by parts) all the way.

Are these the same?

quasi lantern
#

If a, b and c are positive real numbers then a/b + c/b + c/a is greater than or equal to.

quasi lantern
#

I am unable to understand how to use A.M. >= G.M, how is it used?

#

can someone give an example?

tepid sail
quasi lantern
#

a) 3
b) 6
c) 27
d) None of the above

faint dirge
#

what method are you trying to use to solve this?

#

only one I can think of is optimising it as a multivar function, ie finding critical points in quandrant 1, but that's because I've just done too much calc recently

quasi lantern
#

Idk if its >= or >

#

but that should apply

tepid sail
faint dirge
#

3 and 3, A.M. is 3, G.M. is 3, so >=, as an example

quasi lantern
faint dirge
#

ie if your set of numbers are all the same, their arithmetic mean and geometric mean are the same (it's whatever the number is), ergo they are >= (= in this case)

#

I was using {3, 3} as an example

quasi lantern
#

oh ic

#

but how are they same in this case?
a/b b/c?

faint dirge
#

hmm ok just tried taking partial derivatives they have no critical points for a,b,c > 0

#

since the partial by c requires 1/a + 1/b to = 0, which is impossible if neither is negative

#

yeah idk how to solve this, it's late and it is clear I should not have approached this problem without an idea in mind. Very sorry!

quasi lantern
#

np

#

<@&286206848099549185>

sturdy rose
#

the very first thing you should try doing is making the denominator equal or same

#

there needs to be some form of symmtery

#

oh or else

#

just use AM > GM

quasi lantern
#

ya I thought about that

#

but confused if >= or >

sturdy rose
#

a/b + c/b + c/a / 3 >= 1

sturdy rose
quasi lantern
#

why tho?

sturdy rose
#

AM can be equal to GM

quasi lantern
#

cuz I didn't get why they are equal in this case

sturdy rose
sturdy rose
sturdy rose
quasi lantern
#

no? am > gm when both are unequal?

quasi lantern
sturdy rose
sturdy rose
quasi lantern
#

yes. so

sturdy rose
#

Can u hop on VC?

#

it would be better to explain it there

quasi lantern
#

sure

sturdy rose
#

wait i will explain

#

give me 10 min and i will dm

quasi lantern
#

k np

minor crystal
#

i mean you have equality when a = b =c

quasi lantern
#

so isn't it better to take > instead of >=

minor crystal
#

u can do > yeah but

#

where does it say they're not equal?

#

it doesn't say that in your actual question

quasi lantern
#

oh yes

#

but it doesn't state it's equality either?

minor crystal
#

i'm saying you can have any instances where a = b = c

#

where a = b = c and are all >= 0

#

this would work according to your question

#

then your AM >= GM

sturdy rose
#

i think his question is why they are equal at the first place

quasi lantern
#

but when a b c are real numbers(+ve) then they could be unequal too?

minor crystal
#

yeah and the >

#

accounts for that

#

= accounts for when they're all equal

quasi lantern
#

ohh ic

minor crystal
#

btw is your question right?

quasi lantern
#

yes it is.

minor crystal
#

a/b + c/b + c/a ?

quasi lantern
#

yup.

minor crystal
#

the gm isn't so nice?

quasi lantern
#

b/c

#

wait no it's b/c instead of c/b

minor crystal
#

okay there u go

quasi lantern
#

a/b + b/c + c/a

sturdy rose
#

it becomes one

minor crystal
#

no it doesn't

#

it does right now

#

not in his original question

sturdy rose
#

typo

quasi lantern
#

ya mb

minor crystal
#

we can never know if he made a typo but sure lol

sturdy rose
#

he did

minor crystal
#

yeah now that he said it

#

anyway

sturdy rose
#

its like the very first question everyone solves when ur preparing for a shit exam

minor crystal
#

idk what that shit exam or whatever the context is lol so i just asked

sturdy rose
#

even ask you to memorise it

#

😭

minor crystal
#

anyway you're done with the problem right?

#

also why do you have to memorize am-gm?

#

there's am-gm-hm-qm

sturdy rose
quasi lantern
#

qm?

sturdy rose
#

but its a thing

minor crystal
#

if you're memorizing am-gm then why not memorizing hm-qm and the others too lol

sturdy rose
sturdy rose
#

in a line too

#

just show them the circle proof man

#

literally no one does that here and its so frustrating

minor crystal
sturdy rose
#

Also, close the channel if ur doubt has been cleared

quasi lantern
#

ya, doing it now

Thanks for the help, both of you!

What is x in the sample standard deviation formula

upper garnet
#

theyre just your sample values

zealous torrent
#

I know what xbar is

upper garnet
#

53.2, 57.8 etc

zealous torrent
#

Do I add them?

upper garnet
#

do u know what a Sum is

#

that big sigma

zealous torrent
#

Yeah

#

yea ik

#

I can't do sum (x-xbar)² as sum(x)²-sum(xbar)² tho

upper garnet
#

(x_1 - mean) ² + (x_2 - mean)² + etc

zealous torrent
#

yhyh

#

Idk I haven't done stats in like a year

zealous torrent
#

Its easy and im bad at it

upper garnet
#

(x+a)² isnt x² + a² to begin with lol

zealous torrent
#

I know

#

I said that I can't do that

upper garnet
#

yeah

upper garnet
zealous torrent
#

I swear there's a quicker way to do it

upper garnet
#

no

I think $\sum x^2 - n\overline{x}^2$ for the numerator is less operations

How do you factor a cubic polynomial who's constant term is very large say 120 without using a calculator

wraith daggerBOT
#

quantifier #2 lover

zealous torrent
#

Fuck

#

I have an answer

#

The question is one mark though

#

I did too much working out

#

There has to be a faster method

neat dune
#

Ok yeah cus for the first version, assuming sample mean has been calculated, you do n substractions, n squares, and then (n - 1) additions. Second version you do n squares, (n - 1)additions, and then 1 substraction plus 1 multiplication

zealous torrent
#

This seems wrong

#

Wrong

#

I'm just horrific at stats honestly I have no clue whats going on most of the time

neat dune
#

So can do about 33% less work i guess bleakkekw

zealous torrent
#

What's the fast method

#

The question doesn't even say find b

#

It says "state"

neat dune
zealous torrent
#

oh

#

Can u check my answer tho pls

neat dune
#

hmmmm

#

Try excel catthumbsup

zealous torrent
#

?

neat dune
#

I don't feel like calculating all of that monkey

zealous torrent
#

How do I calculate it with excel tho lol

neat dune
#

It has a function for sample standard deviation

apparently its 269.4cm^2

#

I got 237.3cm^2

tropic oxide

cedar kilnBOT

Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.

livid swan
#

ive basically split it up like this

#

and calculated the triangle, both sectors and the semi circle

#

and added them

#

idk what to do, its 'wrong'

#

the green dot resembles the angle: arccos(1.6/2) which is around 36.87

#

then I found the area of those sectors by getting π(r)^2 and multiplying it by 36.87/360

#

(multiplied by two since i'm trying to find two sectors

#

then i found the big triangle by going 16x6/2 (the 6 is from 10sin(36.87) which is 6)

#

so I added that to the two sectors

harsh zephyr
#

is 6 the height?

#

of the triangle

livid swan
#

ye

harsh zephyr
#

ight

livid swan
#

then i added the semi circle which was obviously (Ļ€(r)^2)/2

#

and its still fucking wrong

#

fuck

#

oh shit

#

I re did it and i'm right

#

idk what changed

quasi plover

quasi plover
#

so the period is basically the 3tan ( deta/2)?

#

i understand yellow, but for blue and green. all i understand is like. rules of some sort

cedar kilnBOT
#

@quasi plover Has your question been resolved?

quasi plover
#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

pls teach me how to do this question please

#

we can start from the question

tawdry otter
#

T = pi/b

quasi plover
tawdry otter
#

Not like that no, let me explain

quasi plover
tawdry otter
#

$f(x)=atan(\theta\times b - h)+k$

wraith daggerBOT
#

Cewkins

tawdry otter
#

@quasi plover This is the formula, i like to write it this way but you will find it written differently sometimes depending on the source/text book

quasi plover
#

;-;

#

b-h?

tawdry otter
#

Point is, the coefficient that is multiplied by theta 'b' determines the frequency and the period of the function

tawdry otter
# quasi plover

Over here you have theta/2 or theta * 1/2, which means the value of b is equal to 1/2

#

Using the formula T = pi/b you get pi/1/2 which equals 2pi

#

So the period of the function is 2pi

quasi plover
# wraith dagger **Cewkins**

does this one that you show, you mean theta divided by b? not theda times b? or it doesnt matter that ever sign it is. aslong as it somehow related to theta

tawdry otter
#

No theta is just multiplied by b whatever the value of b is

#

theta/2 is the same as theta * 1/2, b = 1/2

#

b is just whatever is multiplied by theta

quasi plover
#

this helps

#

what does atan mean?

#

and r there any more formula that i should know? cuz i see theres h and k variable

tawdry otter
#

a is for "amplitude", though its worth mentioning that tan functions dont have amplitude so it only expresses how stretched the function is

tawdry otter
quasi plover
#

but it like before christmas, after christmas break nearly everything i learn are like washed away

tawdry otter
#

Okay i will give you a quick recap

A: a is used to express the amplitude of the wave, in sin and cos functions it changes the height and the depth of crests and troughs, in a tan function it either stretches the line to be more straight or bends it to curve like a cubic

B: the b that is multiplied by theta changes the frequency and period(wavelength in physics term)

h is for shifts on the x axis, a positive h will move the graph to the left and a negative h will move it to the right, the reason why they sound inverted is because there is a negative sign right before the h in the formula so whenever h is positive it turns into negative when you plug it in and thus changes the shift

k is for the shift on the y axis, positive k will push the graph above and a negative k will push it down, it can also represent the middle line for trig functions

quasi plover
#

crest and troughs>

#

i didnt learn this from physic ;-;

#

i learn this from igcse additional math

tawdry otter
#

Crest and troughs is a valid term for math as well iirc

quasi plover
#

iirc ;-;

#

what is valid term

#

why this is like learning not revising

tawdry otter
quasi plover
tawdry otter
#

I suggest you watch some youtube videos on the topic, messing around in desmos with trig functions will also help you picture these transformations

hazy cargo
#

is uh

#

so u know exterior angles of a triangle right

crimson sedge
#

the goal is to find x

#

if that helps

crimson sedge
hazy cargo
#

mk so

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
#

so with that how do i solve (8x+40)

hazy cargo
#

so each angle must be that divided by two

crimson sedge
#

yea as it shows in the picture

hazy cargo
#

then just take the divided by two angle and multiply by three

crimson sedge
#

so 8x+40/2

hazy cargo
#

and that must equal 180

#

u try

crimson sedge
#

ok

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
#

i subbed x for 2 and 3

#

then btoh times divied by 2 and muliped by 3

#

but still cant get 1-

#

180

hazy cargo
#

what

#

why did u sub x

#

lmao

plucky owl
crimson sedge
#

i though that was suppose to do

crimson sedge
#

i spelt tat wrong

plucky owl
#

So then each interior angle is what measure?

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
plucky owl
plucky owl
hazy cargo
#

im saying this method words if u want to do the point of the exercise

#

u can skip the question but like

#

whats the point lol

crimson sedge
#

4

plucky owl
#

That's on a straight line

crimson sedge
#

8x+40=60?

plucky owl
#

What's the measure of a line?

hazy cargo
plucky owl
hazy cargo
#

remember the exterior angles diagram

plucky owl
#

That does not help

hazy cargo
plucky owl
crimson sedge
plucky owl
#

No

crimson sedge
#

60?

plucky owl
#

The measure of a straight line

hazy cargo
#

doesnt that also work

crimson sedge
#

180?

plucky owl
#

Yes 180 is the measure of a line

plucky owl
#

Mine actually goes through how it was came upon

earnest radish
#

maaat

#

math is bad

hazy cargo
#

wrong place to be buddy

crimson sedge
#

whos manz

plucky owl
earnest radish
plucky owl
#

Can you write the equation? @crimson sedge

earnest radish
#

What do you think about mathematics?

plucky owl
#

It sums to 180

#

What does sum mean?

crimson sedge
#

addition

#

like the 2 added up

#

that right?

plucky owl
#

Yes that's the proper equation now

crimson sedge
#

okok

plucky owl
#

Can you solve for x now?

crimson sedge
#

10?

plucky owl
#

Yes

hazy cargo
#

mk now the other ones

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
#

is 3 correct

earnest radish
#

I don't understand any of the problems, I'm leaving bye

hazy cargo
#

same for everything else actually

crimson sedge
#

i tried doing that one

hazy cargo
#

bye

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
#

damn

hazy cargo
#

just think abt it

#

interior angle sum of triangle =?

crimson sedge
#

180

#

?

hazy cargo
#

so what must they all add up to

crimson sedge
#

so each is 60

hazy cargo
#

huh no

crimson sedge
#

oh no

hazy cargo
#

theyre only 60 for an equilateral

crimson sedge
#

they js all add up to 180

hazy cargo
crimson sedge
#

ohhh

hazy cargo
#

very nice

crimson sedge
#

i see

#

so one angle is 40

#

we already know

#

so the other 2 add up to 140

#

do i have to sub a number in for x so they both add up to 140?

hazy cargo
#

just solve the equation

#

do u know how to solve equations

crimson sedge
#

ik how to solve it where there a number in front

#

and use distributive property

#

when it js like that nha

hazy cargo
#

so write out for me what you have right now

crimson sedge
#

(4x-5)

#

(3x+5)

hazy cargo
#

so whats the equation

crimson sedge
#

(4x-5)(3x+5)=140

#

Yea?

hazy cargo
#

mhm

#

but dont forget

#

u need to add everything

#

if theres no sign that means multiply

crimson sedge
#

ohh ok

hazy cargo
#

so now write the equation again

crimson sedge
#

(4x-5)+(3x+5)=140

#

i got 20

hazy cargo
#

now the rest of the questions are basically the same

crimson sedge
#

ight il js do em and can you lmk if i got it right or nah?

hazy cargo
#

oh alr

#

just dm me

crimson sedge
#

also the triangal for number 3 is named isocoleis yea?

hazy cargo
#

i might be asleep

crimson sedge
crimson sedge
hazy cargo
#

only isosceles if two sides are the same length

crimson sedge
#

ohh they looked the same to me

#

😭

hazy cargo
#

it has to specify

crimson sedge
#

number 2 adds up to 180 also yea

hazy cargo
#

every triangle angle does

crimson sedge
#

ohhh

#

for 2 i got 16

#

and 1 i got 65

#

im not sure how to do 5 6 and 7 could u help me w those

tacit elk
#

In the playoffs, the Leafs played 13 games before being eliminated. If they won 3 more games than
they lost, how many games were won and lost? How would I put these into X and Y equations. (System of equations application)

crimson sedge
#

take W to be the number of games won and L to be the number of games lost

tacit elk
#

x + y = 13

#

so is it 3x + y or 3x - y?

#

for the second

crimson sedge
#

3x+y ?

#

what is that

tacit elk
#

if they won 3 more games

#

so 3x

crimson sedge
#

3 more not 3 times

tacit elk
#

so 3 + x

crimson sedge
#

3 more than what ?

tacit elk
#

lost

crimson sedge
#

so why 3 + x

tacit elk
#

oh

#

so what would be the question cause im confused

crimson sedge
#

they have won 3 more than lost

#

so won is 3 more than lost

tacit elk
#

y = 3x?

crimson sedge
#

3 more not 3 times

tacit elk
#

y = 3 + x

crimson sedge
#

and 3 more than lost

#

not 3 more than win

tacit elk
#

x = 3 - y?

crimson sedge
#

no

crimson sedge
#

you already have x+y = 13

tacit elk
#

ohh

crimson sedge
tacit elk
#

Thank you!

#

wait how does that work tho?

crimson sedge
#

you don't have the 2nd equation yet

tacit elk
#

whats the second?

#

I thought the first was x + y = 13

crimson sedge
#

yeah

#

and ?

tacit elk
#

then the second one

crimson sedge
#

which ?

tacit elk
#

If they won 3 more games than
they lost

#

how would that go into a equation?>

crimson sedge
#

won 3 more than lost

#

x = y+3

tacit elk
#

ohh

R2 <- R2 - R1

and I got to the same exact point

@lyric solar Has your question been resolved?

#

I haven't tried this problem but are you sure that's true? It seems like you need an additional condition to get anywhere

lyric solar
#

well that's what our teacher gave us, I got no idea xD

#

all the exercises I did until now were correctly given so I assume this one is too

#

there might be a longer chains of linear combinations

#

or some logic that I can't figure

royal finch
#

If you multiply row 1 by a, row 2 by b and row 3 by c, and factor out abc, you get the right handed side multiplied by abc which suggests this is not true at a glance

#

I would at least do a dirty sanity check and make up 3 numbers for a b c such that abc does does not equal 1 and throw it into any calculator to make sure

lyric solar
#

let me see

royal finch
#

oh wait, no that works. It's too early in the morning

#

Those multiplication steps will cancel when you factor

lyric solar
#

2 = 2

#

apprently it is true

#

and I have 5 more worse than this as homework

When you define a function, how do you know which properties you need to prove that satisfy well defineness

crystal raptor
#

Really only two things:
Does the function map things to where you say it does?
If a = b, does f(a)=f(b)?

crimson sedge
#

what if it is really obvious, then do you need to prove it?

eternal ingot
#

how obvious are we talkin here

crimson sedge
#

Sometimes in answers, only some parts of well defineness are proved and not all since some are obvious so you can omit the proof. But when is obvious?

crystal raptor
#

catshrug depends what the mapping is and who you ask

crimson sedge
#

Also, is proving uniqueness the same as proving injectivity?

small gyro
#

It is given that f,g are continuous at [0,1] and differentiable at (0,1) with f(0)=f(1)=0 and f(x)≠0 when x∈(0,1)

I showed that the function h(x)=f^2(x)•e^g(x) satisfies the conditions of Rolles theorem and then have to show that a c∈(0,1) exists so that f’(c)/f(c)=-g(c)/2

small gyro
#

I assume that I somehow have to use the rolles theorem again

#

But I don’t understand how

#

What i only assume is that f is either + or - because it’s continuous and fx≠0 at the same domain

#

I don’t know the English term for this but I hope you get it

#

I cant see how is that relevant tho

tidal leaf
#

so I got to 3 - 2x= x. But i dont know how to solve it from there

hazy terrace
#

Perhaps add 2x to both sides?

tidal leaf
#

to x and 2x?

hazy terrace
#

Yes

opaque root
#

Are you familiar with equations?

hazy terrace
#

I think so, yes

#

Oh, sorry, you meant mari

#

@tidal leaf

tidal leaf
crimson sedge
#

[
3 - 2x = x \
3 = {???}
]

wraith daggerBOT
chrome flax
#

7x

opaque root
#

That’s skipping one step

crimson sedge
#

what do you think it should be if you made 3 on the left side?

opaque root
#

That maybe he is not able to see

#

I would put everything so he can visualize better

crystal raptor
#

so i got to 3 - 2x = x

crimson sedge
# wraith dagger

hint: consider what makes -2x disappear from the left, what do you add with to remove -2x?

tidal leaf
#

2?

crimson sedge
#

-2x + 2 = 0?

#

is that true do you think

tidal leaf
#

yes

crimson sedge
#

well ill tell you that you are wrong

tidal leaf
#

oh

crimson sedge
#

[
ax + bx = (a+b)x
]
this is called adding "like terms"

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

meaning like if you have two terms with like both sharing the same variable

#

then you can just add the coefficients

#

does thst make sense?

tidal leaf
#

a little bit

crimson sedge
#

like for example

#

2x + 2x = (2+2)x = 4x

#

4y + 6y = (4+6)y = 10y

#

this is how its done

#

as an example

#

what would
3z + 4z
be?

tidal leaf
#

7z?

crimson sedge
#

yeah

#

amazing

#

ok lets step up the game and involve minus

#

so

#

3x - x = (-1 + 3)x = 2x

wherever you just see a - with NO coefficient you can think of it as -1

#

another example,

2y - 5y = (2-5)y = -3y

#

does this make sense?

tidal leaf
#

a little bit

crimson sedge
#

how do you do
x - 2x

#

remember the process you can just totally ignore the x

#

focus on the coefficients

tidal leaf
#

would it be -x?

crimson sedge
#

yepp

#

great

#

okay two more just to solidify your understanding

#

13x + 6x - 8x

#

this is a combination

#

can you do it

#

remember the order doesnt matter

#

do it however as long as u get it right

tidal leaf
#

11x?

crimson sedge
#

yes! good job

#

okay and the last one

#

3x - 3x

#

what is this

tidal leaf
#

0?

crimson sedge
#

yeah

#

good job you have improved

crimson sedge
#

take it as a rule. If they dont share the same variable and degree then you cant add them

#

if it is x^2 + 3x you cant add them

#

if it is x + y you cant add them

#

id it is 3 - x you cant subtract/add them

#

if it is 3x + 4x or such then You CAN add them

#

does all of this make sense

tidal leaf
#

yes

crimson sedge
#

okay great

#

so back to what we had

#

[
3 - 2x = x \
3 = {???}
]

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

we want to add something to both sides

#

but we want to get rid of -2x

#

what do you add to -2x to make it 0?

tidal leaf
#

x?

crimson sedge
#

remember what we have been saying

tidal leaf
#

can we not do it?

crimson sedge
#

-2x + ??? = 0

#

like

#

if you had x there

#

it'd be -2x + x = (-2+1)x = -x

#

so, not zero.

#

so again, what must it be

tidal leaf
#

3x?

crimson sedge
#

again

#

slowly

tidal leaf
#

2?

crimson sedge
#

no

#

imma give you time to think about it because i dont think anything else will help you otherwise

tidal leaf
#

i don't know, im sorry

crimson sedge
