S & T is quadrant 2 &3

remote lantern
#

this is what i mean

brazen wigeon
#

that angle is between 5pi/2 and 6pi/2

remote lantern
#

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

brazen wigeon
#

no, it would be 2pi + reference angle

remote lantern
#

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

brazen wigeon
remote lantern
#

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

brazen wigeon
#

huh

abstract lotus
#

if u look at ur blue line, u made a full circle and kept going

brazen wigeon
#

idk how to even explain it

remote lantern
#

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

abstract lotus
#

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

remote lantern
#

right so thats why i made it 2pi

#

so to my understanding its 2pi = full circle - ref angle

brazen wigeon
#

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

abstract lotus
brazen wigeon
remote lantern
#

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

abstract lotus
#

YES

remote lantern
#

fuck

#

ok

#

so lemme just be clear

#

so i made the full circle

#

so that angle is now added to it?

brazen wigeon
#

because after makoing the full circle, you continued along

remote lantern
#

hm

#

ok

#

oksay we kept going for the other one too

abstract lotus
#

u ended up back at the first angle

remote lantern
#

yea say we do this

#

oksay we kept going

#

so say i do a full circle

#

would this

#

be

#

2pi + pi - ref angle

#

?

brazen wigeon
remote lantern
#

pi/3

brazen wigeon
#

ok then yes

#

what you said over text is correct, but it doesn't match the image you sent. just an fyi

remote lantern
#

really

#

its for the second round

brazen wigeon
#

wait no i didnt see properly

#

sry

remote lantern
#

like no the initial rotation

brazen wigeon
#

youre correct

remote lantern
#

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

peak prism

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

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

cedar kilnBOT
#

@pulsar carbon Has your question been resolved?

pulsar carbon
#

Nope

#

<@&286206848099549185>

fallen moat
pulsar carbon
#

No

#

I know basic Algebra but seeing graphs is a first time for me

fallen moat
#

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

pulsar carbon
#

Okay if it passes twice its not function

#

and one-one function? also domain and range?

fallen moat
fallen moat
#

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.

pulsar carbon
#

I understand So this graph is not a one to one fusntion as passes twice at (0,5)

fallen moat
fallen moat
# fallen moat

the x values between the blue arrows would be the domain

fallen moat
pulsar carbon
fallen moat
#

so it really depends if there's an equation of the curve is given or just a graph

pulsar carbon
fallen moat
pulsar carbon
#

I see

fallen moat

remember, domain and range are intervals

not just numbers

Can someone help me with this question. I don’t know how to continue it from where I got up to

cedar kilnBOT
#

@tender badge Has your question been resolved?

lavish lily
#

then you have to prove that 3k^3 > (k+1)^3 for k greater than or equal to 4

tender badge
#

where is the 3k^3

lavish lily
#

3^k > k^3

#

3 * 3^k > 3k^3

#

3^(k+1) > 3k^3

tender badge
#

oh so basically multiplying a 3 to both side

lavish lily
#

ya

#

then prove 3k^3 > (k+1)^3 for k>= 4

#

civic coral
cedar kilnBOT
civic coral
#

can someone check it?

hot crag
#

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

civic coral
#

shit

hot crag
#

yep

#

done?

hot crag
#

sighs

#

Please Correct My Grammar, I have enough experience to know not to argue with you.

#

I cannot explain that to you.

royal loom
#

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)

civic coral
royal loom
#

and then from there on out, they will grow at the same pace

royal loom
#

and I meant to say, |y|<sqrt(5)

royal loom
#

it isn't defined as a real number?

civic coral
#

I see

#

No, i don't

hot crag
#

sighs
Austin what have you gotten urself into

royal loom
#

What do you think sqrt(-6) should be?

civic coral
#

is it because when y<sqrt5, there will be some imaginary numbers in our equation, which is not allowed.

royal loom
#

What two real numbers, when multiplied together, will be -6?

hot crag
#

he knows complex numbers Austin

royal loom
#

It doesn't seem like it

hot crag
#

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

royal loom
#

idk about saying it "isn't allowed" but it certainly will make finding a solution impossible

civic coral
royal loom
#

if you plug in |y|<sqrt(5)

#

the right hand side, will have an imaginary number

hot crag
#

@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

royal loom
#

that you understand yes?

hot crag
#

imma let @royal loom finish first

royal loom
#

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)

civic coral
#

I see

royal loom
#

there aren't any of those either

civic coral
#

I see

#

im overwhelmed

hot crag
#

,w y = 3 - sqrt(y^2 - 5)

wraith daggerBOT
royal loom
#

You're doing that to yourself

hot crag
#

@civic coral the solutions if the sqrt function gave negative results

royal loom
#

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

civic coral
#

im overwhelmed, i need some time to digest it

hot crag
#

!done

cedar kilnBOT
#

If you are done with this channel, please mark your problem as solved by typing .close

civic coral
royal loom
#

yes

#

as I just described you can visualize it graphically

civic coral
royal loom
#

you don't know how to graph y=x?

civic coral
#

I do

royal loom
#

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

civic coral
#

There's some sqrt involves which i do not know its property.

royal loom
#

Okay then ignore it

civic coral
royal loom
#

,w plot y=sqrt(x)

royal loom
#

they look basically like this

civic coral
#

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

civic coral
#

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

hot crag
#

@civic coral ru done

civic coral
#

no.

hot crag
#

sighs

hot crag
#

BRO

#

RU STUCK ON THAT?

#

REALLY?

#

HOW DOES IT MATTER

civic coral
#

I think it is pure talent

#

i should close the channel now

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

cedar kilnBOT
#

@honest torrent Has your question been resolved?

worldly chasm
#

@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?

honest torrent
#

they cant be on same row

#

i dont really understand what the possiblites are

worldly chasm
#

Sorry, I mean "if the two snakes are each confined to a single (different) row"

honest torrent
#

yes

worldly chasm
#

Ok, so consider one snake, one row

#

The head is bigger than the tail

honest torrent
#

what does that mean

worldly chasm
#

That the head is bigger than the tail?

honest torrent
#

"head must be greater than tail is still required"

worldly chasm
#

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

honest torrent
#

doesnt this image disprove that

#

cause the first row the tail is greater

worldly chasm
#

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
honest torrent
#

oh lmfao i didnt know

worldly chasm
#

The board is normally 10x10

#

And the numbers move back and forth like this all of the way up

honest torrent
#

does size of snake matter?

#

@worldly chasm is it just (n-1)^2 ways to do it?

worldly chasm
#

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

honest torrent
#

can the snake go on the first tile?

#

or that dont matter

worldly chasm
#

The head can't

#

But the tail can

honest torrent
#

but the head always has to be greater

worldly chasm
#

Yes and if the head is on the first tile there's no room for the tail

honest torrent
#

so isnt that n-2 ways

#

because it cant go on the farthest left and right tile

worldly chasm
#

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.

honest torrent
#

but where would the tail go if its at the end of the row

worldly chasm
#

I'm talking about a 1x3 grid, single snake, single row

honest torrent
#

cant the head only go on tile 2

worldly chasm
#

The three possible snakes are drawn on this image

#

The head is always right of the tail

honest torrent
#

i thought it cant go on tile 1 or that dont matter

worldly chasm
#

The tail can, the head cannot

honest torrent
worldly chasm
#

In this image larger numbers are farther to the right

honest torrent
#

oh ok

#

but on the actual board it would be 3-2-1

worldly chasm
#

This is an actual board

#

It depends on the way the board is made

#

That's why I wrote numbers on the squares

honest torrent
#

true so it would alternate

#

got it

#

there is n-1 ways to place a head on the row

#

@worldly chasm

worldly chasm
#

Yes

honest torrent
#

oooooo ok ty

honest torrent
#

just (n-1)^2

worldly chasm
#

There's a well known formula for sum from 1 to n

honest torrent
#

so n(n+1)/2

worldly chasm
#

We're doing 1 to n-1

i mean {1}, {2}, {3,4,5,...} would be boring

#

found this solution but i don't want to copy everything

cedar kilnBOT
#

@dense pulsar Has your question been resolved?

mossy cave
#

Your solution works. What is your question?

#

@dense pulsar

dense pulsar
#

how do i start the solution from scratch?

mossy cave
#

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?

dense pulsar
#

yes, i want to use just N in my solution. the one shown involves Z

mossy cave
#

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?

dense pulsar
mossy cave
#

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)

mossy cave
dense pulsar
#

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}

mossy cave
#

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

dense pulsar
#

ooh okay

mossy cave
#

There are a lot of options for partitions

dense pulsar
mossy cave
#

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: ${n \in \mathbb{N} : (n/10^m) \in [1,10] , \text{if m is odd}}$

unborn pond
#

hi can we do this

cedar kilnBOT
unborn pond
oblique stirrup
#

#8

bitter peak
# unborn pond

you gotta find the total number of general surgery physicians first

unborn pond
#

ok let me do it first

#

so 25,000 general surgery physician

bitter peak
unborn pond
#

oh i see

bitter peak
#

look for general surgery and find that total

unborn pond
#

yes 36000

bitter peak
#

id say 37000 cause it looks like 35000+2000 to me

unborn pond
#

so 3700*.24?

bitter peak
#

then look at the pie chart, the percentage for 35-44 is 24% so you must find 24% of that number

bitter peak
unborn pond
#

which is 8880

#

can we do the last problem together

bitter peak
#

sure

unborn pond
#

so female general surgery physicians in under 35 category represented 8.5 percent of all general surgery physicians

#

so under 35 is 30%

bitter peak
#

so we know the total of general surgery physicians is 37,000, so we need to find how many are in under 35

unborn pond
#

yes

#

which is 37,000*30

#

but wait

#

arent we fdoing the number of female general surgery physician

#

not all?

bitter peak
#

yes, but it is 8.5% of how many are under 35, not all ages

unborn pond
#

ok

#

si

unborn pond
#

and

bitter peak
#

you should do 37000*0.3

unborn pond
#

thats what i did

#

and then i guess i multiply by 8.5 percent

bitter peak
#

oh you mean 11,100

unborn pond
#

yes

#

oh haha

#

i see what i did

#

i get where the confusion is haha

bitter peak
#

wait let me think one second

#

this question is worded a bit weirdly for me so give me one sec to think

unborn pond
#

okk

bitter peak
#

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

unborn pond
#

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

bitter peak
#

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

unborn pond
#

ok so 35000*30%

#

which we spoke about was 11,100

bitter peak
#

yes, that is females and males

unborn pond
#

and with that, we know there's 11,100 people in general surgery

#

and then we would multiply by 8.5%

bitter peak
#

no, because 11,100 is the number of under 35s in total

#

not all ages

unborn pond
#

oh yes you're right

bitter peak
#

but females under 35 are only 8.5% of all ages all together

unborn pond
#

oh i see

bitter peak
#

so to find the number of females under 35 we have to find 8.5% of 37,000

unborn pond
#

which is 3145

#

of all

bitter peak
#

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

unborn pond
#

wait im confuse

bitter peak
#

what's wrong?

unborn pond
#

give me a second to write this doqn and conceptulize

bitter peak
#

okay

unborn pond
#

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%?

bitter peak
#

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

unborn pond
#

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?

bitter peak
#

yes exactly

#

good job

unborn pond
#

which is 7955

#

which is close to b

#

if rounded

bitter peak
#

yes

unborn pond
#

ok ty

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?

crimson sedge
full rover
crimson sedge
#

you can remove it by simplifying

full rover
#

pardon me being dumb
how

crimson sedge
#

take the limit as x->pi/2

hollow trail
#

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

full rover
hollow trail
#

is there a specific problem you're trying to solve here?

full rover
#

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

i don't understand what i did wrong here

#

the answer's supposed to be 14.45 cm²

digital cliff
#

how can you have a length of -5?

fossil sleet
#

that's what i was thinking as well, but then how do i get to C?

digital cliff
#

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

wraith daggerBOT
#

Result:

14.45
fossil sleet
#

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

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

#

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

slate lintel
#

I see no Taylor's theorem also go to bed

royal loom
#

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

mighty drift
royal loom
#

I wish I could say there are only finitely many ai > 0

#

but that's not true

mighty drift
#

no, finitely many terms for the log expansion

royal loom
#

because like 1/n -> 0 will have infinitely many > 0 but still conv to 0

royal loom
#

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

mighty drift
#

so either way, |log(1+ai)| <= |ai|

royal loom
#

magicician

#

no taylor series needed

mighty drift
#

well, the Taylor series is a complicated way of proving this

royal loom
#

how can we prove log(1+x) <= x
and
log(1-x)>=-x

mighty drift
royal loom
#

dear god

#

not convexity

mighty drift
#

don't worry it's concave here

royal loom
sacred grail
sacred grail
#

its just not true lmao

mighty drift
#

right

royal loom
#

I've been lied to

vast pike
#

$d/dx[x-log(1+x)]=1-1/1+x\le 0$ for x>0

wraith daggerBOT
mighty drift
#

or is it ?

vast pike
#

and x=log(1+x) for x=0

royal loom
#

for x>0

#

but we only have x>-1

sacred grail
mighty drift
#

doesn't matter, just a multiplicative constant

sacred grail
#

the inequality doesnt hold globally

royal loom
#

Wait I'm convinced again

sacred grail
#

especially not near -1

mighty drift
royal loom
#

guys look isn't it fine

sacred grail
#

no

royal loom
sacred grail
royal loom
#

why not sad

sacred grail
#

you need to compare their absolute values

royal loom
#

I'd rather not

sacred grail
#

well

#

sometimes you cant get what you want

royal loom
#

Okay

#

fine

#

Taylor serie

#

but what can I do about positive ai

sacred grail
#

youd need to state the inequality as |log(1+x)| <= kx near x=0 for some k>1

mighty drift
sacred grail
#

the point is that because you have absolute convergence

royal loom
sacred grail
#

the terms eventually will be small enough that the inequality kicks in

royal loom
#

I don't know what you're talking about

sacred grail
#

okay so

#

,, \sum_i \abs {a_i} < \infty

wraith daggerBOT
sacred grail
#

so eventually $\abs {a_i} < \epsilon$ for all $i > N$

wraith daggerBOT
sacred grail
royal loom
#

that doesn't even involve ai

#

?

sacred grail
#

you gotta interpret "apply" as use a bit of thinking not just use the inequality as is

royal loom
#

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

sacred grail
#

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

royal loom
#

I can buy that

sacred grail
#

the fact that you can write |log(1+x)| <= kx near x=0 is quantitatively stating this fact

royal loom
#

thank you

sacred grail
royal loom
#

it seems like almost doable without taylor series

sacred grail
#

i think taylor series makes it much easier

royal loom
#

I haven't seen how you use taylor series in yours

#

in what you just described

sacred grail
#

taylors theorem gives you the value of k you should use

royal loom
#

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

right?

#

since as n gets large, a_i will go to 0

#

and dividing by something bigger

#

just drop the power

#

drop the denominator

sacred grail
#

i think that approximation is sus

royal loom
#

damn

sacred grail
royal loom
#

oh

sacred grail
#

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

royal loom
#

Oh okay

#

we did last HW

#

this problem

#

so I figured it was probably to use here

#

but I guess no

sacred grail
#

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

royal loom
#

which version

#

< |x|^(n+1)/(1+x)?

sacred grail
#

something along the lines of [ \log(1 + x) = x g(x) ]
for some function $g$ which is continuous in a neighbourhood of $0$

wraith daggerBOT
royal loom
#

never seen that remainder thm before

sacred grail
#

its just a rewriting of taylors theorem

#

im sure you've seen lagrange's remainder

royal loom
#

yes

sacred grail
#

,, \log(1 + x) = x \f {f'(\xi)} {1!}, \quad f(x) = \log(1 + x)

wraith daggerBOT
sacred grail
#

this is a degree 0 taylor polynomial + remainder

royal loom
#

Gotcha

#

Okay thanks again

#

I shouldnt open help channels this late

#

because I want to solve and feel bad for leaving

#

but its 3:30 am so I should go to bed

sacred grail
royal loom
#

I'll try this tmrw

#

thanks

hi!! really quick question how can you tell what formula a parabola is by the information given

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.

old fjord
#

basically how would I know what formula to use if I am finding the rule

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
old fjord
#

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>

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

what about this one?

#

how do i know which format?

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

okay its just so difficult to determine which one it is

pastel vault
old fjord
#

so for this one what would the format be?

pastel vault
#

I'd say use vertex form for this tho

old fjord
#

just so i can get an idea of what they look like

pastel vault
#

Since you aren't given the vertex there

old fjord
#

i mean wait

#

the rule form

#

like would it be y = ax^2

livid hound
#

the ideal approach would depend on what you're given
consdier the questions:
do you have the vertex
do you have the x-intercerpts

old fjord
#

add the bx

#

or add the bx + c

pastel vault
#

No k(x - a)(x - b)

old fjord
#

yeah

pastel vault
old fjord
#

and that is to find k

pastel vault
#

ye

old fjord
#

yeah and then what next

livid hound
#

try not the use a,b there as those conflcit with the a,b,c in general form

pastel vault
#

k controls the vertical stretch

old fjord
#

sorry that sounded rude lol

#

yep

livid hound
#

and then use the additional given point to determine the leading coefficient/scaling factor

livid hound
#

sub in the point

old fjord
#

into what?

livid hound
#

your factored form equation

old fjord
#

y = a(x - r1)(x - r2)

#

?

livid hound
#

can you first identify the values of r_1 and r_2?

old fjord
#

1 and 3

livid hound
#

that'll give you
y = a(x-1)(x-3)

#

then can you identify the coordinates, x,y values of the other given point?

old fjord
#

no because we only have a

#

so we would have x and y left

livid hound
#

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?

old fjord
#

(0,3)

livid hound
#

yes

#

now substitute that into

y = a(x-1)(x-3)

old fjord
#

so sub in the other points

#

and use substitiution?

#

ah

#

ok and why do we need the x and y though

livid hound
#

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)

old fjord
#

im confused

#

so what we are doing will help figure out what formula the rule is right?

livid hound
#

yes

old fjord
#

ok so we found a

#

so now why are we finding x and y if we already have two coordinates

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

dont we already have a?

livid hound
#

do you?

old fjord
#

yes

livid hound
#

what is your value of a and how did you get it

old fjord
#

we subbed in the roots and the points

livid hound
#

that's exaclty what i've been saying...

#

to sub in the point to get a

old fjord
#

wait i already had A

#

ahaah ok what is next

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

yes but the answer is in the format y = ax^2 + bx + c

livid hound
#

ok, so if they want general form then expand it out

old fjord
#

yes but how do i know to use that format

#

if they dont tell me

#

thats my goal

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

lol id just end up using y = ax^2

#

all the time

#

i guess i have to go off the answers

livid hound
#

well books only display on of the forms of the answer

old fjord
#

but if the parabola is lowered or higher does that mean there is bx

livid hound
#

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

old fjord
#

ah

#

okay thank you so much i will keep working towards understanding this all confusing stuff

#

loll
