u go around the quadrants basicall
until u get to that refence angle
since I did a full circle
it would now be 2pi - refernce angle
no, it would be 2pi + reference angle
hmm
i think its minus because the refernce angle is before 2pi
so from a full circle u are reducing the ref angle
its just like the first one
first one is pi - ref
nope, you go around the circle, then, continue along a little more until you reach the reference
180 - ref angle
the second one is + because its now 180 + ref angle
right but we are now back in quadrant 2 right
so it would be - again
huh
if u look at ur blue line, u made a full circle and kept going
idk how to even explain it
but he does
yes thats why that one is +
because it extends beyond pi which is 180
so the ref angle is added to the 180
its 180 + ref angle for the 3rd quadrant
im talking about the 3rd one, you made a full circle and went right back to the same angle as the first drawing 2pi/3
right so thats why i made it 2pi
so to my understanding its 2pi = full circle - ref angle
nope
if it was subtraction, you would have gone backwards after completing the full circle
but after completing the circle, you continued on, so you add a value to 2pi
5pi/3 = 2pi - pi/3
your angle: 2pi + 2pi/3
but like isnt that ref angle taken away from the full circle
ohh
i see now
im so dumb
i already drew a full circle
i just slowly drew it on paint
and just realied
i had already made a full 360
YES
fuck
ok
so lemme just be clear
so i made the full circle
so that angle is now added to it?
yes
because after makoing the full circle, you continued along
u ended up back at the first angle
yea say we do this
oksay we kept going
so say i do a full circle
would this
be
2pi + pi - ref angle
?
what is your reference angle again
pi/3
ok then yes
what you said over text is correct, but it doesn't match the image you sent. just an fyi
like no the initial rotation
youre correct
its the second go around the circle
m ok
hm
i see now
thanks a lot guys
imma try and do more practice
il open another box if i have questions
thanks again
both of u

Hey guys, help with the following?
$ f(x,y) = 8 - \frac{x^2}{15} - \frac{y^2}{8}$ I need to get from the point A = (0,2) to B = (2,0).
denote x(t) = t, y(t) = 2-t
calculate $\frac{df}{dn}(x(t),y(t)$ where df/dn is the directed derivative
What I did was calculating the gardient of f so
$\frac{df}{dx} = -\frac{-2x}{15}$
$\frac{df}{dy} = -\frac{-y}{4}$
then $\nabla (f(x(t),y(t)) = (-\frac{2t}{15}, \frac{t-2}{4})$
now they ask what is the max value of this directed derivative and for which t i get it.
so since I'm going from the point (0,2) I get (0,0) * some vector which is also 0, so it doesn't depend on t. probably ii'm doing something wrong, so would appreciate any help

@peak prism Has your question been resolved?
i am totally unfamiliar with directional directional derivatives so it took me quite a bit of time to get myself together with this question
First thing:
is the "max value of this directed derivative" means the max norm of this directional derivative?
if yes, i bet you still need to find t so that sqrt((-2t/15)²+((t-2)/4)²) is maxed?

How to Interpret the following graph in detail:
I am novice in Algebra I need to find domain and range, Does this graph represent a function and a one-one function. Why/Why not?
Also sorry for bad english I am not good at it
@pulsar carbon Has your question been resolved?
do you know how to check if a cruve is a function?
if it's a curve on a graph that needs to be check, we can use a very useful tool:
every vertical line on the graph will only pass through the curve at most once
if it's a yes, then it's a function
sorry, typo
Okay if it passes twice its not function
and one-one function? also domain and range?
e.g. a circle will not be a function
one-to-one function, there's another tool:
every horizontal line on the graph will only pass through the curve at most once
if it's a yes, then it's an one-to-one function
domain is the interval(s) that function is on x,
e.g.
I understand So this graph is not a one to one fusntion as passes twice at (0,5)
yea, it pass through twice on the horizontal line pass through (0,5)
the x values between the blue arrows would be the domain
however we don't know if this curve will extend forever, so you'll have to be careful if it does or not
-1 and 2 I see
nope, if just seen from the drawn cruve, it will be -1.something and 2.something instead of strict -1 and 2
so it really depends if there's an equation of the curve is given or just a graph
We can assume its strict -1 and 2 .something can be ignored and Range?
Just this image sadly
range will be the same method, but with y-values
e.g. for this ,we can write
-1≤x≤2
or in interval notation
[-1,2]
brb
I understand
But for y 10 and - 10 would be it??
sorry, i had my eye check just now
Ohhh Eye check you at a clinich or hospital or something?
range is for y values,
so we can write
-10≤y≤10
or in interval notation
[-10,10]
sorry for disturbing man
I was walked out of eye hospital lol
no worries, i was waiting for the eye check just now, that's why I'm free to help XD
Thanks man
had an accident a few days ago, so just keeping track on the recovery progress
Cheers!
tyty
I pray for you speedy recovery
good luck with your maths~

Can someone help me with this question. I don’t know how to continue it from where I got up to
@tender badge Has your question been resolved?
first 3^(k+1) > 3k^3
then you have to prove that 3k^3 > (k+1)^3 for k greater than or equal to 4
where is the 3k^3
oh so basically multiplying a 3 to both side
yes thanks

can someone check it?
yes
you made ONE small mistake
you forgot that the sqrt function NEVER gives negative values
so -2/3 cannot be the sqrt of y^2 - 5
so no solutions exist
@civic coral
shit
sighs
Please Correct My Grammar, I have enough experience to know not to argue with you.
I cannot explain that to you.
another way to see it might help
any y that is less than sqrt(5)
is not even possible
and both sides of the equation grow at a linear rate
you can think of the right hand side getting 'turned on' at y=sqrt(5)
at which point it will take value 3
but the other function will take value sqrt(5)
why
and then from there on out, they will grow at the same pace
Can't take the square root of a negative value
and I meant to say, |y|<sqrt(5)
why
it isn't defined as a real number?
sighs
Austin what have you gotten urself into
What do you think sqrt(-6) should be?
is it because when y<sqrt5, there will be some imaginary numbers in our equation, which is not allowed.
What two real numbers, when multiplied together, will be -6?
he knows complex numbers Austin
It doesn't seem like it
yes
when |y|<sqrt(5)
that is
ur giving me PTSD, my first PCMG channel was him claiming to be an expert on complex numbers and also saying that e^(i times pi) = e^180i
idk about saying it "isn't allowed" but it certainly will make finding a solution impossible
but why, couldn't we have some imaginary number in our equation.
think about it this way
if you plug in |y|<sqrt(5)
the right hand side, will have an imaginary number
@civic coral if i may. the sqrt function never gives negative results since it wouldn't pass the vertical line test that way, and would cease to be a function
that you understand yes?
imma let @royal loom finish first
but the left hand side will just be |y| which is an entirely real number
and you need them to be equal
a real number, will not equal an imaginary number
so even if you were considering complex solutions (which you aren't)
I see
there aren't any of those either
,w y = 3 - sqrt(y^2 - 5)
You're doing that to yourself
@civic coral the solutions if the sqrt function gave negative results
graphically the red is the right hand side of the equation, and the blue is the left hand side
the interval where the red takes on no values, is when |y|<sqrt(5)
outside of that interval, it grows at the same rate as y
but it starts at a different value
they'll never be equal
because it is like two parallel lines
that will never intersect
But you probably need to review what it means to be a function
as Ren is saying above, one of (if not the only) requirements of being a function is that for every 1 input, you only get 1 output
if sqrt(9) for example was 3 and -3, this would fail to be a function
when your problems involve the square root, they are using it as a function
and because of this, the value will always be positive
because that's what we decided
im overwhelmed, i need some time to digest it
!done
If you are done with this channel, please mark your problem as solved by typing .close
is it possible to tell that the equation has no solution at its original form
I cannot visualize them graphically, i have no idea about their graphs.
you don't know how to graph y=x?
I do
that's the left hand side
the right hand side is nearly as simple
and you don't even actually need to graph it
all you need to realize is that they will grow at the same pace
and start at different values
Anyways, that's hardly a method to solve the question, I was just trying to help your understanding
you should definitely just solve this algebraically
I cannot tell what it looks like, the graph of the right hand side.
There's some sqrt involves which i do not know its property.
Okay then ignore it

Just solve it algebraically
but you do, i wonder if there's some property/ characteristics about the graph of a sqrt
,w plot y=sqrt(x)
they look basically like this
I see
it is y^2 = x but the upper part
and the lower part didn't exist, because this is a coordinate plane
I have no questions now
Do you know it at the first sign when looking at the equation, or after put it on desmos.
im so curious is it pure talent to visualize the graph of an singular equation by looking at it.
and it is an equation which involves some umsimplifiable sqrt in it
@civic coral ru done
no.

C
Use the product rule to figure out the number of ways can we place the
two snakes. Explain your reasoning. The answer must be for a general n.
idk how to start this
@honest torrent Has your question been resolved?
@honest torrent if the two snakes are confined to a single row, then they cannot interact with each other, so it's like you have one row, one snake, and then you just combine together two possible rows from that. Right?
Sorry, I mean "if the two snakes are each confined to a single (different) row"
yes
what does that mean
That the head is bigger than the tail?
"head must be greater than tail is still required"
I means that if we number the squares from 1 to 2n, the head sits on a larger number than the tail
So the head is on 13 and the tail is on 10 is valid
But the head is on 13 and the tail is on 15 is not
It's because you're probably not familiar with the game
The numbering works like this:
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
oh lmfao i didnt know
The board is normally 10x10
And the numbers move back and forth like this all of the way up
The size of the snake doesn't matter
For a single row single snake, there's (n-1) places the head can go
And then if it goes at n, then there's (n-1) places the tail can go, if the head goes to n-1 then there's n-2 places the tail can go, and so on.
So it's sum from i=1 to n-1 of i
but the head always has to be greater
Yes and if the head is on the first tile there's no room for the tail
Let's do n=3
The head can go on tiles 2 and 3
(n-1)
If the head is on tile 2, the tail can only go on tile 1.
But if the head is on tile 3, then the tail can go on either tile 2 or tile 1.
but where would the tail go if its at the end of the row
I'm talking about a 1x3 grid, single snake, single row
The three possible snakes are drawn on this image
The head is always right of the tail
i thought it cant go on tile 1 or that dont matter
The tail can, the head cannot
isnt it only on the left
In this image larger numbers are farther to the right
This is an actual board
It depends on the way the board is made
That's why I wrote numbers on the squares
true so it would alternate
got it
there is n-1 ways to place a head on the row
@worldly chasm
Yes
Reread from here
oooooo ok ty
wait how would i express this in prodcut rule
just (n-1)^2
There's a well known formula for sum from 1 to n
so n(n+1)/2
Sorry, that's for 1 to n
We're doing 1 to n-1

please help me with this: Give an example of partition N into three subsets.
i mean {1}, {2}, {3,4,5,...} would be boring
found this solution but i don't want to copy everything
@dense pulsar Has your question been resolved?
how do i start the solution from scratch?
I’m a bit confused by your question. There are lots of different partitions of N you just need to choose one. Are you struggling to find another partition into infinite sets like the example solution?
yes, i want to use just N in my solution. the one shown involves Z
Do you see why this solution uses Z instead of N? Which numbers are missing if you replace Z with N?
Also, do you know modular arithmetic?
nope, haven't gotten to that yet
Ok, well in that case, you can just think about the reminders of the number when dividing by 3. You can then partition N using that (it should be the same as these partitions)
Using this you can just union the missing numbers to each set (again should give the same answer)
wait, can I do this?
S = {A_1, A_2, A_3}
A_1 = {x is element of N : x=3k for some k is element of N}
A_2 = {x is element of N : x=3k-1 for some k is element of N}
A_3 = {x is element of N : x=3k-2 for some k is element of N}
Yep.
Another partition (completely different and somewhat random) is:
All natural numbers with an odd number of digits;
all natural numbers with a multiple of 4 number of digits;
All natural numbers with a multiple of 2 but not a multiple of 4 number of digits
ooh okay
There are a lot of options for partitions
how would this look like in set builder notation?
Good question, it sort of depends. One option is (which is the simplest) is:
{n in N: n has an odd number of digits}
Alternative option: ${n \in \mathbb{N} : (n/10^m) \in [1,10] , \text{if m is odd}}$

hi can we do this
#8
you gotta find the total number of general surgery physicians first
no that is general practice
oh i see
look for general surgery and find that total
yes 36000
id say 37000 cause it looks like 35000+2000 to me
so 3700*.24?
then look at the pie chart, the percentage for 35-44 is 24% so you must find 24% of that number
yeah 37000*0.24
sure
so female general surgery physicians in under 35 category represented 8.5 percent of all general surgery physicians
so under 35 is 30%
so we know the total of general surgery physicians is 37,000, so we need to find how many are in under 35
yes
which is 37,000*30
but wait
arent we fdoing the number of female general surgery physician
not all?
yes, but it is 8.5% of how many are under 35, not all ages
you should do 37000*0.3
oh you mean 11,100
wait let me think one second
this question is worded a bit weirdly for me so give me one sec to think
okk
okay, i think i get it now. you need to find 8.5% of 37,000 to find how many of the under 35s are female
because 8.5% of the total number of them are females under 35
yes
wait
i thought it was saying that the number of female general surgery is arouns 2000 and 8/5 of that is all the general surgery physicians
in the question, they say that for the total of general surgery physicians, only 8.5% of them are females under 35
so you have to find out how many females under 35 there are using that information
yes, that is females and males
and with that, we know there's 11,100 people in general surgery
and then we would multiply by 8.5%
oh yes you're right
but females under 35 are only 8.5% of all ages all together
oh i see
so to find the number of females under 35 we have to find 8.5% of 37,000
so now we know that is how many females are under 35 out of 11,100 who are under 35
so the males are the rest
of the 11,100
wait im confuse
what's wrong?
give me a second to write this doqn and conceptulize
okay
ok so here is where im confused
so we did this
37,000 * .30
we got 11,100
which is the people under the age of 35
and then we did this
37,000 *.85= 3145
that i sall the people of all ages
we do not know how many people are under the age of 35% for females
we know of all age
unless i multiply 3145 by 30%?
it is 3145
because in the question, 8.5% is how many females are under 35 in all of the 37,000
so we used that to find 3145 which is how many females are under 35
so what we did was
for both male and female was 37000*.30
and then for just female under 35
we did 37,000* 8.5%
and then to find male
we can so 11,1000 -3145?
yes

Need help with questions 1.1a and 1.1b. What do i do with the 2 on the right for 1.1a, to get the brackets alone. How do I get the bases the same in 1.1b? Or do I need to do something else there
what is log(a) + log(b)?
happens lol nw
But I am not sure about the second one🤔
Hmmm
$a^x-y=a^x/a^y$
斯韋裡
$a^{x-y}=\frac{a^x}{a^y}$
ty
ColdTee
i think this can help
I am very confused
use the above exponent rule written
5^x times 5^-1 ?
yes
no
?

oh yeah
so you'll have 7^x * 5^x * (1/5) = 10
nvm did not notice that -1
ok

Why is sin(2x)/2cos(x) considered to be equal to sin(x)? I know the proof that it comes from, but shouldn't it have a discontinuity at every maximum or minimum?
its a removeable discontinuity
how so?
you can remove it by simplifying
pardon me being dumb
how
the same way you prove sin(2x)/2cosx = sinx
take the limit as x->pi/2
they're equal for every point that is not a minimum or maximum. you can call those discontinuities "removeable" because if we define the function to be 1 or -1 at those points and sin(2x)/2cos(x) elsewhere it would be a continuous function equal to sin(x) always
in those situations, should i just be using what multiple of pi/2 the angle is to get the minimum or maximum values
too lazy to do the extra step lmfao
is there a specific problem you're trying to solve here?
not really. im just asking: in the scenario that i'm solving for the sine of a half angle, and that angle happens to be a minimum or maximum, what should I do to know whether its 1 or -1

how can you have a length of -5?
that's what i was thinking as well, but then how do i get to C?
if i model the center of the base of the triangle as the origin
saying A has coordinate (0,a) C has (3.4,0)
the info implies that a/-3.4=-5/4, a/3.4=5/4, then a=4.25
height is 4.25
,calc 4.250.56.8
Result:
14.45
how do i know when to change the sign of the slope? i mean, for a/-3.4 = -5/4, but for the other one, it was positive...
i just multiplied both sides by -1

i am looking at the answer key my teacher made for the study guide he gave us, and i was wondering how he got this answer?
find the reference angle and then note that sin is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrants
so you're finding the angles in those quadrants w/ said reference angle
$\arcsin(0.43)$

Working on the forward direction of part (a)
I thought I had something going but I'm getting stuck
Let tk be the partial sums of the product
then log(tk)=log(1+a0)+log(1+a1)+log(1+a2)+...+log(1+ak)
log(tk)=log((1+a0)(1+a1)....(1+ak))
we want to show limit tk k->infinity converges
if it does then lim log(tk) = log lim tk
so we now consider the limit as k-> infinity of the inside of the log
(1+a0)(1+a1)....(1+ak)
I thought to use here the absolute convergence of an
since it converges absolutely, there will be some index m where all the terms ai afterwards are |ai|<1
so since this product is
1+a0+a1+.......+a0a1a2a3....ak
we can get a bound on the a0a1...ak
since eventually adding more terms to the product will just make it smaller
and likewise a bound on any of the mixed product terms that have terms with index > m
and the rest will be finite
so I thought we could show convergence somehow using like the monotone sequence theorem or something
but then I remembered that an need not be increasing/decreasin
and I gave up
I see no Taylor's theorem also go to bed
yah I thought I could do it without taylors theorem
Need to solve something first
I didn't have any ideas about taylors theorem
maybe
if tk=(1+a0)(1+a1)...(1+ak)
then
logtk=log((1+a0)(1+a1)...(1+ak))
logtk = log(1+a0)+log(1+a1)+...log(1+ak)
then using taylor's theorem on log(1+x) somehow
then we're summing a finite amount of infinite sums
crazy buisness
r u still here or am I going crazy
I might be
Okay but
an>-1
so
1+ai > 0
but for any ai > 0
we are outside this radius of convergence
so make it finite
Find a relevant bound that lets you discard the later terms
working on that
I wish I could say there are only finitely many ai > 0
but that's not true
no, finitely many terms for the log expansion
because like 1/n -> 0 will have infinitely many > 0 but still conv to 0
But I have many log expressions
I have
log(1+a0)+log(1+a1)+...log(1+ak)
for any ai<0 we can apply this taylor series
but for the rest we can't
log(1 + x) <= x
log(1-x) >= -x
so either way, |log(1+ai)| <= |ai|
well, the Taylor series is a complicated way of proving this
how can we prove log(1+x) <= x
and
log(1-x)>=-x
always look at convexity arguments
don't worry it's concave here

,w plot |log(1+x)| and |x| for -0.9<x<1
its just not true lmao
right
$d/dx[x-log(1+x)]=1-1/1+x\le 0$ for x>0
everg
or is it ?
and x=log(1+x) for x=0
log on desmos is log_10 
doesn't matter, just a multiplicative constant
the inequality doesnt hold globally
especially not near -1
yeah that's actually bothersome for the reciprocal
guys look isn't it fine
no

why not 
you need to compare their absolute values
I'd rather not
youd need to state the inequality as |log(1+x)| <= kx near x=0 for some k>1
for that my argument works
the point is that because you have absolute convergence
ooh
the terms eventually will be small enough that the inequality kicks in
I don't know what you're talking about
so eventually $\abs {a_i} < \epsilon$ for all $i > N$
this is good enough to apply this inequality
you gotta interpret "apply" as use a bit of thinking not just use the inequality as is
Yea I mean like
1+ai -> 1
since ai -> 0
so
if you're approaching log(1)
it will get small
near 0
but so will kx when x is near 0
so I'm not sure how to counterbalanace that
the point of this question is like
because you have absolute convergence
you know that the terms in the series will become very small eventually
and since log(1+x) and x are asymptotically equivalent near 0
this forces the sums to either both converge or both diverge
I can buy that
the fact that you can write |log(1+x)| <= kx near x=0 is quantitatively stating this fact
I'll try this again tomorrow
thank you
i think taylor series makes it much easier
taylors theorem gives you the value of k you should use
oh maybe I use it on
|log(1+x)| = | taylor series thing |
since x near 0 will be -1 < x <= 1
series triangle inequality
<= sum |(-1)^(n+1) x^n / n|
<= | x^n/n|
and x is our a_i ?
lets use the taylor expation of log.. $log(1+x)=x+f(x)$ with $\lim_{x\to 0} |f(x)|/x=0 $ then $\sum_n |log(1+a_n)|=\sum |a_n+f(a_n)|<\sum |a_n|+\sum |f(a_n)|$ the first sum converges by assumption, the second one for comparison test $\lim_{n\to \infty} |f(a_n)|/a_n=0 $ (since $a_n\to 0$)
which goes to 0

everg

<= |x|
right?
since as n gets large, a_i will go to 0
and dividing by something bigger
just drop the power
drop the denominator
i think that approximation is sus
damn
especially this step
oh
but as mateo was saying earlier
you shouldnt be using an infinite series here
you want a finite sum
taylors theorem isnt quite taylor series
taylors theorem tells you how to approximate by finite sums + remainder
Oh okay
we did last HW
this problem
so I figured it was probably to use here
but I guess no
yeah the remainder is what taylors theorem tells you
that lets you prove convergence for the whole series
but you want to explicitly use the remainder here
something along the lines of [ \log(1 + x) = x g(x) ]
for some function $g$ which is continuous in a neighbourhood of $0$
yes
,, \log(1 + x) = x \f {f'(\xi)} {1!}, \quad f(x) = \log(1 + x)
this is a degree 0 taylor polynomial + remainder
Gotcha
Okay thanks again
I shouldnt open help channels this late
because I want to solve and feel bad for leaving

hi!! really quick question how can you tell what formula a parabola is by the information given
!originall
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.
!status
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.
7. None of the above
Basically I found how to do it and find the rule, but I had to look at the answer to figure out what i needed to find and what formula
example for the image i didnt know it was y = ax^2 + bx
just wondering how youd figure that out?
<@&286206848099549185>
the ideal approach would depend on what you're given
here since you are given the x-intercepts (and another point)
its recommended that you start with factored form
and then use the additional given point to determine the leading coefficient/scaling factor
for this, you could start with
vertex form or factored form
doesn't make a big difference
takes practice to recognise what works well
just do problems
and try approaching it in different ways
okay its just so difficult to determine which one it is
It can be both
so for this one what would the format be?
I'd say use vertex form for this tho
just so i can get an idea of what they look like
Factored form
Since you aren't given the vertex there
the ideal approach would depend on what you're given
consdier the questions:
do you have the vertex
do you have the x-intercerpts
No k(x - a)(x - b)
yeah
This tells you the roots
and that is to find k
ye
yeah and then what next
try not the use a,b there as those conflcit with the a,b,c in general form
k controls the vertical stretch
and then use the additional given point to determine the leading coefficient/scaling factor
Yeah r1 and r2 then
what would I do for that
sub in the point
into what?
your factored form equation
can you first identify the values of r_1 and r_2?
1 and 3
that'll give you
y = a(x-1)(x-3)
then can you identify the coordinates, x,y values of the other given point?
forget about a for a sec
look at the graph you're given
you're given 3 points there, two of which are the x-interecepts
what are the coordinates of the third point?
(0,3)
so sub in the other points
and use substitiution?
ah
ok and why do we need the x and y though
you want to sub in the x and y coordiates of your point
i.e. what is the x-coordinate of (0,3)
what is the y-coordinate of (0,3)
yes
no
we're not finding x and y
you're using the x and y coordiantes of the third point (0,3) to find a
dont we already have a?
do you?
yes
what is your value of a and how did you get it
we subbed in the roots and the points
upon getting the value of a
use that here
y = a(x-1)(x-3)
and you'll have your equation
you can then expand or w/e to get it in the desired form
or just leave it as is
yes but the answer is in the format y = ax^2 + bx + c
ok, so if they want general form then expand it out
if they don't tell you what form they want, then you can use whatever's most convenient
and they can't mark you wrong for it
well books only display on of the forms of the answer
but if the parabola is lowered or higher does that mean there is bx
unless they specifically ask for general form
leaving answers in factored of vertex form is completely fine
whether there is a bx term depends on whether the parabola is symmetric about the y-axis
ah
okay thank you so much i will keep working towards understanding this all confusing stuff
loll
