more than 1?
omg π
so the intersection of both intervals is x >= 1
so for the other one
[
-x \ge 1, ; x < 0
]
what is the interesection for this
oh actually
before that
lets simplify this
,align
-x &> 1 \
x &\overset ?{>} {???}
what is ??? and is the inequality sign correct in the second step
wrong to both
is this for the sqrt(1-x)?
-1
we are trying to find the domain for that
ok cool
ah okay i see
so in an inequality when u multiply both sides by a negative
what happens to the inequality
umm it will be flipped?
yea
is this fine
oh i will add equal too?
yeah u must
okok
what is the intersection of this
-1 to 0?
no
i tell u i have lesser than 0 dollars on me, but my friend tells you that i actually owe some dude a dollar so i have lesser than -1 dollars
so i have lesser than __ dollars on me
fill in the blank
-1
yeah
lesser than -1?
yeah
so great!
we are almost done
so
we our x can be either
$x \ge 1$ or $x \le -1$
for x^2 - 1?
which you can represent in interval notation as $(-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty)$
for sqrt(x^2 -1)
why is the bracket different
also this is taking much longer than i expected and my energy levels are kind of depleting, so i will go once this question is done. we can continue this later if u wanna
hm?
yes suree. i have to review for another subject too hehe sorry i think i drained u
parathesis and bracket
nah its good i just havent eaten LOL
( means it excludes, [ means it includes
so when i say (-infty, -1] i am saying that the domain includes -1
but we cant "include" infinity
so we dont put a [ there
Oh damn do u wanna go eat first. I'm not rushing with the answers here. It will serve as my review only.
okokok
Maybe we can contiue tommorow?
its okay lets finish this one first
i will friend you
you can message me there if u want to continue
sure
thank you so much for being patient
no worries
i have probably helped thousands of times by now in this server and honestly its just algebra is always the hardest to teach
like its the "easiest" if u r looking at math in terms of difficulty
but darn man teaching it is so so hard
because you need to get into the mind of someone who is not experienced with like doing math
which is hard
Do u like teaching?
lmao i can say the same about what i feel with some other people here. some people on this server are like 14 doing graduate level work
its crazy
but anyways we can continue this else where
lets close this now haha
I'll message u in the private one, is that alright?
Thank you again!!!
nww
how do i close it? HAHAHA

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.

$e^{i\pi} + 1 :=: 0$
googol
well
the question asks you to find all complex numbers z such that e^z is real
yeah I don't understand what that means
i don't think the question can be any more straightforward
googol
kheerii
$cos(y) + isin(y)$
googol
so you have $e^z=e^x(\cos(y)+i\sin(y))$
kheerii
npi
correct
since we want sin(y)=0

The figure below shows the graph of the function g, which is the transformation of the function f(x) (given below), where p is some polynomial function without zeros.
The asymptote of the function g is drawn in green. Write down the formula for g as a transformation of the function f, i.e. find the corresponding a, b, c, d for which g(x) =
af(bx + c) + d. Justify your choice of parameters well.

Why is the limit of g(x) 2? Shouldn't it be zero?
approaching 0 from the right, not 1
Is the answer to that question 0? I'm not sure why it might be 2?
right

Hi! Im working on this cal 2 problem and know the answer is 128, i just dont know where i got the signs wrong, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated
You forgot the brackets here:
Ah, you already changed the sign. Never mind, it's ok.
Okay then where did it go wrong?
I will look.
Okay ππ»
What about this one:
$$\left[\frac{x^4}{4}\right]_{-4}^0 = \frac{0^4}{4} - \frac{(-4)^4}{4} = -\frac{256}{4}$$

none of what you wrote, frankly, makes sense at all to me
what operation are you performing here? and why equate it to 0 even?
I just
Realized that
LOL

ok
no you cant
no
because what you are doing is like [
y= \m{\log_2}{x-p} \Iff 2^{y} =x-p
]
but it isn't $y$ in the equation anymore you are saying something completely new
how about, better idea instead of like what you are doing rn,
sub in the point
isolate the log on one side of the equation
THEN take 2^ of both sides
Huh
Wait
Let me look at it again I forgot
So like
Move the quadratic to the other side?
yes
you can just take the 2^ of both sides yes
hol up
Wat
ok you reaaaaally need to add parentheses to what u r writing 
but anyways
solve for p
Sorry haha
in this
lmao its ok
P = 9-2^(4-q)
yuh
Then should I do it for the other one
sounds legit
yes
And then. Set equal to and solve
i can tell u the values of p,q later if u wanna verify ur answer

Hi quick question, whats another way to represent sqrt (x+1)
like how can i break it apart
i want the sqrt x to cancel out with another sqrt x in my denom
!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
sorry for that message, you're basically asking how to factorise $\sqrt{x+1}$?
Why am. I here
yeah i want to make it 2 seperate things multiplying eachother
One way would be to write it as $\frac{x+1}{\sqrt{x+1}}$
Why am. I here
If you have x+1 in the denominator in your OG problem, this should help
sorry, in my denom is the sqrt (x+1) im looking to cancel a sqrt(x) in my numerator.
to cancel a $\sqrt{x+1}$
Why am. I here
yes
my problem is lim n--> inf of the absolute value of -sqrt(n)/sqrt(n+1)
or is there a better way to solve this limit?
im so dumb should i just use lhopital
so you want the limit of $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+1}}$ at infinity?
Why am. I here
yeah
@burnt seal can you just send the original question
I'd probably divide the numerator and denomenator by $\sqrt{x}$
Why am. I here
im doing the ratio test to find the interval of convergence
i got to the point where my x is on the outside of my limit
and i managed to cancel out (-1)^n
so now all thats left is x outside the limit multiplied by this
thank u why am i here i figured it out with ur dividing by sqrt

I followed the quadratic formula and got 6+sqrt40/2 and 6-sqrt40/2
do these simplify any more?
$\sqrt{40}$ can be simplified
Ari
do you make it look like 10sqrt4?
or 2sqrt10
since the question asks for an exact answer decimals can't be used right?
and the final answer would be 3+sqrt10 and 3-1sqrt10
π
you can just write sqrt10 don't put the 1 in front
so in this example the answers would be 1+sqrt14 and 1-sqrt14?
ye
x-4 can also equal -3
be careful of that
so this has 2 answers being 7 and 1?
also this problem is tricking me
I divided both sides by x to get x=49 but that wasn't right
what if x is zero
x^2 - 49x = 0
x β’ (x - 49) = 0
x = 0 and x = 49

binomial expansion isnt my strong suit.
by the first three terms what is it asking for exactly?
"In ascending powers of x" should be your clue as to what it's asking for
so kinda like if
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
and the question asked for the second term in ascending powers of a
it would be a^2
?
It would not
I don't get it
The powers of a would be a^0, a^1, a^2
ohhhhh
The second term would thus be that which features a^1 (or just a)
genius
can i write the terms as factorials tho?
actually, sorry wrong question
is there a faster way to do binomial expansion without all the calculating factorial and ks hassle?
because this question had 3 marks and i cant spend this much time on it?
Not really, though for the first 3 terms, at least 2 are trivial
Steakanator
ig yea
Then do so now
you mean the calculator function
I'm providing you a shortcut so you can avoid this issue
I don't think you need a calculator for this
How is (n k) defined?
You're missing a term
n! / k! (n-k)!
just n
Not quite
Recall
ah yes cant make that mistakes thanks
Yes
ill try solving this
again
but i coudnt understand the markscheme
whats C?
That's their notation for (n k)
I mean what I said
so for them
5C1 and (5 1) are the same thing
(n k) = C
Steakanator
ok
so in this
why is there an "or"
there should be three terms
so 5C1 , 5C2 and 5C3
oh sorry for this again
5C0, 5C1 and 5C2
I'm so confused by this
since the final answer is usally
ab
a product
but in this case if its a=2 b = -2/5
then should i write the minus as well?
llike a . -b?
i think you need to recall the precise form of the binomial expansion
what would be the answer
for
5!/2! 3!
1?
got it
finally
thanks a lot mate!

Can someone help me with this?
What did you try?
Putting it in slope intercept formula
You mean y=mx+c?
You know y, x and m you can find b
What problem did you encounter
I got b=27/7
then again put it fresh in the equation y=mx+b with m's value as well, then you can manipulate the equation into what's being asked...
Oh so then the correct answer would be A, right?
b in your slope intercept form is NOT B in your standard form
b != B
case matters
Not quite.. notice you have mx+(-1)y... and Ax + By...
I know you said "form" in general, but where is the -1 coming from?
Your coefficient for y isn't necessarily negative
if we have y=mx+c form in general, can't we substract y both sides and get this form?
In this form (-1) is the coefficient of y
Ah, I see what you're doing... yeah, functionally the same
Ohh
Just depends on which side of the equals sign you're moving things to
Yeah
The site I linked (and my general habit) is to move everything to the left, so mx ends up negative, and b ends up negative
You just flipped it.. so yeah... it's the same
I see
Any of this making sense, @left socket ?
Yeah I'm sorta understanding it.

You can just trace where the outputs of h go and see if they are possible inputs of f.
For instance, h sends -4 to -1, but f doesn't send -1 to anything.
However, h sends -2 to 4 and f sends 4 to -5, so in total -2 is sent to -5
so just keep plugging the coordinates?
Yeah, or you can just look at the inputs of f and try to find them in the outputs of h.

Can you take constants out the cross product
So say i wanna do the determinant cross product method
And one vector I can take a constant out
And the other vector I canβt
How would I do it
Does the constant have to be the same? For both vectors
You can take it out of one and compute the cross product of what's left
(ra) x b = a x (rb) = r (axb)
What about if there is two constants
so one for a and one for b
(ra) x (sb) = rs (axb)
Ok cool
And what about the norm
Of one vector
Can u take constants out of that as well?
Usually, norms are such that ||cx|| = |c| ||x||.
So say I had a vector, and the constant I took out was like 1/(a^2 + b^2)
Would the constant just stay the same?
Yes, you could take is out of the vector.
And does this work the same way for the inner product.
Yes
So the two constants u multiply and then u multiply that by the inner product sum
Yes

@humble karma sorry one last question
Say Iβm doing the cross product
Does the βconstant I take outβ does it matter what letter it is
So ie
Say I have a vector with respect to x
And a vector with respect to y
And I factor out something to do with x in the first vector
Can that still be classed as a constant?
It doesn't matter.
Ok cool
It's still a constant
You could take a constant in y in the first and a constant in x in the second
Yh cool that makes sense
Thanks again

what is 5x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0?
is it
yes
Isn't that a quadratic?
yes, that's still the same equation rewritten slightly but it doesn't really help you solve it since it doesn't do anything to separate the variables
This won't help you if you want to solve for x.
but it's still good to play around with things yourself and see why not
Okay I have a question too I am taking college algebra and this is a super basic question but I still would want to know in an inequality when graphing, I forgot when is the parenthesis a open circle, or a closed circle, or a bracket and a parenthesis? When can you tell when to use each!!
this channel is already taken by someone else. please go to one of the channels in MATH HELP (AVAILABLE). those are...available
Oh is it okay, no problem I appreciate you telling me that, thank you.
It was just out of curiosity, but I get it.
are you familiar with the quadratic formula?
ah, ok. it's good to learn the quadratic formula, and why it works
yes
ok. do you remember what a coefficient is?
the thing infront of x
you lose me there
it's okay, i'm making a picture to help you
as i dont see any a b or c in equation
they are color-matched. the red 5 is the a, the blue 5 is the b, and the green 2 is the c
ok?
how do you do that?
you just have to remember those positions:
so in your problem, what is "a" equal to?
5
good. and b and c are equal to?
very good. so now you put those numbers in the quadratic formula that i posted
that's too complicated as i dont understand what he plus and minus do
it's okay, i can help
(-5-+sqr(5^2 -4(10)))/10
so the reason there is a plus/minus in it is because you may have multiple "roots", or, values of x that make the equation equal to 0
i dont think you can squre a negative number
so you have to consider the plus and then the minus
what do you mean by root?
a root is the value of x when the function crosses the x-axis
how do we know it's ture
see how that function in the graph crosses the x-axis twice?
that means that there are two roots
it does
i mean, i'm guessing that's what the problem is? you were given that function and you were tasked with finding the roots
you lose me there man
x

i am so confused this is an example given to me it says a rotation of 90 degreese counterclockwise and a translation of 2,7 but i am so lost how is this the answer
A brief description and guide on how to use me was sent to your DMs!
Please use ,list to see a list of all my commands, and ,help cmd to get detailed help on a command!
Which thing are you confused about?
What does a translation of 2,7 mean?
How many units is it moving to the right by?
2
How is it 2 dude
But what is actually happening?
idk
Is it only moving to the right by 2?
yes i think
and 7 down or up
idk
are you just gonna keep making me look like an idiot or can you please help
Im trying, and that wasn't my intention
oh ok mb
The translation should be more than just 2
well thats what it says
Thats not whats happening though
it says thats the answer
Describe a sequence of transformations that shows the congruence between triangle ABC
and triangle EGH
Ah I realise what's happening
We are rotating 90Β° about the origin
Where will A(-4,-3) end up if you rotate by 90Β° about the origin?
Counterclockwise
if so its -5,4?
oh i meant 3 not 5
Yeah
B(-4,-5) ends up at (5,-4) after rotating 90Β° counterclockwise about the origin
C(-1,-5) ends up at (5,-1) after the same rotation
I UNDERSTAND
after you rotate you can just find the distance
so its 2,7 because you go 2 points to the right and 7 up AFTER the rotation
Yes
They should've specified what point the rotation was about
Alr

i need help understanding law of sine and cosine
Hi there
hello
So, if you're just getting started in trig, you can ignore the pi values on this chart for the moment
What's really important are the (x, y) coordinates in parentheses on the outside of the circle
That's not law of sines/cosines
But this is the Unit Circle... a circle with radius = 1 centered on the origin, (0, 0)
Different people learn different ways... what worked for me wasn't just learning "opposite/hypotenuse = a number", but rather understanding where those numbers come from
law of sines and cosines is the one you use to solve sides and angles for non right triangles
no they're right
this is not what law of sines is
And where they come from are the actual physical distances from the x and y axes to the point of intersection with the unit circle
sigh Yes... sin a / A = sin b / B
That's not law of sines/cosine still
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos c
so what do you need help with it
oh yeah that
Then what are they?
so in class
there was these formulas
it changes for sine
As mentioned to solve a triangle
Check the link I sent, it might help
.
law of sines and law of cosines are geometric equations that relate the sides and angles of a triangle with each other
LoS: sinA / a = sinB / b = sinC / c
LoC: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cosC (as you said)
i am slightly confused by your question... so you know the equation for law of cosines but don't know what it's called
Depends on the angle you are looking for
Depends on what you're looking to find... do you need the angles B and C? law of sines...
Side a? law of cosines
i need to complete it
i have angle A and side b and c i need angle B and C and side A
You should use law of cosine first to find side A
You'll want to start with the law of cosines, then, since you'll need the length of side a to plug into the relationships for the law of sines
Then you can use law of sines for the angles
And you can find either angle B or C using law of sines, but you don't need to apply it twice to find the two angles
You can just use law of sines once and to find the other angle, sum of interior angles of a triangle add to 180
(minor clarification
you can use only law of sines to solve the entire triangle
you can use only law of cosines to solve the entire triangle
or you can also use a mix of both)
You need one pair of a known side and the opposite angle
So far, he has neither for any of the sets
you can also use a mix of both
so to find side a i use the a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcCosA formula
Yep
oh oh okay thank youuu
And they're right, you could use law of cosines throughout the whole problem, but that involves manipulating the equation to arrive at a cosine value, and then applying inverse cosine to find the missing angle... a lot of extra work
is it okay that i dont close the channel yet im trying to solve it rn but i get stuck alot
Yes
You can solve the problem and send your work when you are done, to get it checked
Do you know what law of sines is?
Because you sent an image of area of a triangle, not law of sines
Law of sines is just a comparison of ratios... sin A / a = sin B (or C) / b (or c)
Now that you have the length of a, you can set up a ratio with angle A
,rccw
This is not the best way to format it
Where are you confused ?
You're going to end up with a small decimal value.. that's expected
You have all the sides now and angle A
As the angles? No
You'll have to use Shift+sin (usually) on your calculator to convert that small decimal number to an angle
so its the sin of the angles but how do i get it to be just the angle
As the sin ratio... yes.
Inverse sin
Look at your calculator... you should see a small "sin^-1" printed above your sin button
This is inverse sin
Depending on your calculator, it's could be shown as asin, arcsin, sin^-1
It takes that small decimal value and converts it to an angle
And yeah, it goes by a few different names
at what step do i do that
After you get rid of those fractions... you'll end up with a small value like 0.5835 = sin C
= (the length of the side you need) / (the angle opposite the side you need)
Set it equal to another ratio
Then solve algebraically
sin (some angle) will equal 9.2/sin 50
You should have an equation
Something like $\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}$
CaptainNova22
What you wrote is not an equation
There you go!
Also the other way you can write law of sines is this, so the sines are in the numerator
Which is why I stated the other way to begin with...
Now he has to extract a trig function from a denominator
applause
First, "he" is a "she" look at the roles
Just take the inverse of both fractions, and you'll be fine
Second, it's not that hard, you can just flip the fractions
so i do sin^-1(9.2/sin50=12/sinB)?????
No
im sorry
You don't need to apologize... it's a learning process. You're fine
To make it easier, you can write it in this form
So sin(50)/9.2 = sinB/12
It's an equation where you are solving for the unknown
So you need to isolate for it
What should the first step be?
um common denominators..? i think
No
this unit is so hard
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.
Sorry, but... it's about to get a little harder =/
Remember that unit circle I tried to start with?
Well... you're going to get the same sin value for two possible angles
You've probably noticed by now, your answer is a little different
oooohhh
Technically this is a negative equivalent... so there are 4 possible places you'll see the same number
two positive, two negative
These methods will always return acute angles.. so if you have an obtuse triangle, you're going to have to be careful
wait huh
When you take the inverse sin of a number, like .7071, it will always give you 45Β°
But grab your calculator and find the sin of 135Β°... what is it?
Then find the sin of 225Β° and 315Β°
The number you keep seeing pop up is the y-value of those angles, where the line intersects the circle
So if you've got a triangle with one angle that's 135Β°, you're going to have to be careful when applying the sin and cos rules
working on it still
sorry i took so long
No worries
also ok take ur time
I'm back, btw
oh hello
So! Still stuck?
i got a different answer from when you did it
Yup... expected as much
so i think i did something wrong
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
87.7? That's one possible correct answer!
My answer was different because I solved for C first...
You solved for B
Now then, you have two angles, and every triangle has how many degrees in its corners?
180
Cool.. so take 180 and subtract the two angles you have, and there's your third
If you solved for C first, you'd get a different answer for B
Which is why our answers were different
eventually your teacher is going to hash all that out for you, so don't stress about it for now
But yeah, you got it
No she solved for B
It literally says B
That's literally what I said.
I said she solved for B first... I solved for C first... you'll get two different answers depending on which angle you solved for first
You should use the full decimal for better accuracy
It's not a rounding issue.. it's an issue with the fact that the laws of sin and cos always return acute angles
Your work has sin B
You got 94.4 for angle B
Round at the end
oooh okay
It's an issue with me including the answer I got from B after solving for C and subtracting the other two angles..
Don't round in the middle stpes
I'm literally telling you exactly what I did, and you still want to argue... roger that, bud.
,w asind(sind(50)*12/9.2)
,w asind(sind(50)*12/9.22018)
,w asind(sind(50)*7/9.2)
180 - 50 - 35.7 = .....
huh
It's ok.. you got one good set of answers, so be proud of yourself!
Everything else here is Nova wanting to argue... sorry about that
ummm
so
do i need to go back and not round
cuz i rounded at the start
wait i think i do
brb
so i dont need 94?

I dont understand this
