Yes?
guide me solve
pls
I don’t know any of these. 😐😶
!15min
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
its already been a long
i have more 10 questions to solve
and then physics and chemistry
oh ohk!
I don't really have time rn, but my intuition for 49 is just to plug the values in
and good luck on your hw!
i mean to solve it
yes, plug the values in for the first step
what if option wouldnt have been given man
use this identity to make cos 15x into sin([some angle]). what do you get
@paper karma
yep
what do you get?
pi/2-15x
yes, now what's the whole equation?
sin(pi/2-15x)=sin5x
right, now subtract sin5x from both sides and use the sum to product identities
and what do you get?
mhm
so its
so eq^n is sin(pi/4-5x)(sin(pi/4-10x))
ty now i can do it myself further ty so much
wait wait reminder
pls
αστραία 💫 (astraea)
it's not sin*sin, it's 2*cos*sin
oh sry sillies my god
no problem! 
thank you, for ur precious time n help

(x+y) * z = a
(x*y) + z = a
give me five numbers which satify
one such example is
x=2,y = 1,z = 1
x = 4,y =3,z = 2
how to prove it mathematically
the pattern i observed was x = 2z and x = y+1
to find any such numbers
(n,n-1) n/2
$(x+y) \times z = a$
$(x\times y) + z = a$
give me five numbers which satisfies
one such example is
x=2,y = 1,z = 1
x = 4,y =3,z = 2
well if x=0 and y=1 then you have infinitely many possible z's but I presume you want non-zero positive integers?
nvm, it's not better
Btw, you can find a general formula for it cause they are set equal to the same number
I love transitivity
did not get it
if $ (x+y)z = a$ and $xy+z=a$, then $(x+y)z = xy+z$
zzz0nnn
then
pull out a z = (some combination of x and y)
You could do it with any variable, but thats what i did anyways
elabrote please
it will become xz + yz = xy + z
put z = .......
we substitute xy in the above equations?
i dont think it works
You know distribution, so you know how to take a factor out
Can you see any common factor from the left side?
z(x+y) - z
Yes, also, but you still havent isolated the z
z(x+y) - z = xy
z - z = xy/x+y?
it should be z - z / x+y = xy/x+y there
I ate up a step but that's the same
If u r taking it this way then it should be z(x+y) - z/(x+y) = xy/x+y
not either
So where is it wrong and why explain it
$\frac{z(x+y)-z}{x+y}=\frac{xy}{x+y}\implies z-\frac{z}{x+y}=\frac{xy}{x+y}$
zzz0nnn
z(x+y) / x+y cancel to z
You set z / x+y = z, which is clearly not true
unless x+y = 1 
Exception exists lol
again, the easiest way:
$z(x+y) - z = xy \implies z(x+y-1) = xy \implies z = \frac{xy}{x+y-1}$
zzz0nnn
Ohh yeah you are correct
Choosing x+y =/= 1, you get any value you want that satisfies the original system of equations
True
But how do you know this much like writing it in a code way
You must have a great experience on these things
Kind of, its called LaTeX, its a math writing language
-> https://latexeditor.lagrida.com/ if for some reason you wanna test with it
technically it's a typesetting language
I learned it first in this server. there are several examples of latex things people have written in this server, and overleaf has great documentation on how to actually use it
if you are a math student, you should learn it
This channel is turning into tex help as well

Hi, I just want to check if i did it right
f: A -> B, A = {1,2,...,m}, B={1,2,...,n}
I need to find how many functions f are monotonous increasing
I asked for help earlier with a similar problem and I got adviced to try to change it to something I understand, so I made this:
Being B = {amount of adopted dogs}
and A = {days}
Then we have n dogs and m days.
The day m, n dogs get adopted
The day m-1, n-1 dogs get adopted
and so on until day 0 where 0 dogs get adopted
so the answer would be n! * m!
is that alright?
Do we want the functions to be strictly increasing or nah
no need to
then there's no need for f(m) = n
why
if it need not be strictly increasing, then f(a) = 1 for all a in A is valid
We can represent functions from [m] to anything as sequences
And we want it to be a weakly increasing sequence
maybe i got it wrong
i wanted to say that it is f(a_1)<=f(a_2) (a_1<a_2)
yes
Well I'm still thinking
Oh yeah we can turn this into another sequence using the indices
There is absolutely no way the answer is symmetrical
A lot of combi stuff is just seeing things and using them later
I don't see how one would come up with a lot of stuff on their own
Anyway continuing off this
b_i = a_i + (i-1)
Gives another sequence
1 ≤ b_1 ≤ ... ≤ b_m ≤ n + m - 1
These two are in bijection I'm pretty sure
So now it's just about picking m elements from n+m-1
I barely understand it myself, I'm using all my combi experience here
Which isn't a lot
But essentially
A function [m] to [n] which is monotonic increasing
Is essentially an increasing sequence of m length from [n]
okay
So we write it the way I dod
But that doesn't give us anything helpful directly cuz the entries can be equal
So we create another sequence, this time using the indices
And this sequence is strictly increasing (prove this)
okay
ill try to but i have to leave for a few minuts
ill come back if needed
thank u
have a great day

. @copper owl close the new channel you claimed and come back here
here i am
What parts of it
how to follow after this
You have a strictly increasing sequence in [n+m-1]
The sequence has m elements
So you're done, it's just a choice now
why is the sequence n+m-1
Hi im new
Hi
I didnt know this server existed
This place looks awesome
This channel is only for on-topic discussion. Please take casual conversation to #discussion or #chill.
Oh mb
b_m < n
...no
🙁
b_m is a_m + m - 1
Then you have a strictly increasing sequence in [n+m-1]
And this corresponds to monotonic increasing functions [m] to [n]
And this is very easy to count
You need to prove a few things though
You need to prove that the b's form an increasing sequence
And that the mapping from a_i to b_i is a bijection of sequences
But I'm gonna leave that to you

i received this puzzle from my math teacher and i've been stuck on it for about a week. every solution i try ends up in a quartic equation (and we're not allowed to use the quartic formula to solve it), could anyone help?
i dont understand how i could try solving it without ending up in a quartic equation
h also has to be at its maximum (since the line could also be more horizontal)
oh this looks mega ugly
i do think that you will in fact run up against the quartic wall here, no matter what
even if you get a quartic you can solve it without the quartic formula
he says he's managed to solve it without running into a quartic
say, what is the quartic you're getting
especially if the numbers are carefully chosen
we havent been taught how to solve quartics
let me get my notebook real quick just a moment
ok so for my work
i divided h into 1 and a
h being 1+a
eventually, i end up at:
a^4 + 2a^3 - 7a^2 + 2a + 1 = 0
ok so in fact this is a "nice" quartic
divide both sides by a^2 and you might notice sth
look at (a + 1/a)^2
a^2 + 2 + 1/a^2
the two is in the -7!
so i end up with (a + 1/a)^2 - 9 + 2a + 2/a = 0
what we're building up to is the idea to substitute x := a + 1/a
(a + 1/a)^2 - 2 ( 4.5 + a + 1/a) = 0
?
then x = a + 1/a
x^2 - 2(4.5+x) = 0
x^2 - 2x - 9 = 0
you didnt rly need to tamper with the nine at all and also uh
ah
x^2 + 2x - 9 = 0
what'd i miss why the plus
-9 + 2a + 2/a ≠ -2(4.5 + a + 1/a)
i end up with x = -1 - sqrt(10) v x= -1 + sqrt(10)
and the maximum is -1 + sqrt(10)
so the height is 1 + ( -1 + sqrt(10))
which is just sqrt 10
remember that x = a + 1/a
so before you add the 1 solve for a
a + 1/a = -1 + sqrt(10)
do i multiply by a here
a^2 + a = -a + a*sqrt(10)
a^2 + 2a - a*sqrt(10) = 0
OHH
a ( a + 2 - sqrt(10)) = 0
a = 0 v a + 2 - sqrt(10) = o
a cant be 0, so a = sqrt(10) - 2
height is therefore
sqrt(10) -2 + 1
sqrt (10) - 1
wait huh that cant be right
he said the height was around 2.5
this is
uh
~2.16
1/a * a isn't a
OH
whoops
a^2 + 1 = -a + asqrt(10)
a^2 +a -asqrt(10) + 1 = 0
ok im stuck again
how do i solve this one
what do i do with the a - asqrt(10)
ohh nevermind
i got it
thank you guys!!!

For which natural numbers n does the inequality 2^n > n^3 hold? Prove your statement.
Do I solve normally with proof by induction? Can’t seem to find a general method to solve/prove this.
yeah induction would work
the idea is that 2^n grows faster than n^3 for sufficiently large n
so you can guess when this will hold true by playing around
and then prove it by induction
@clever glacier Has your question been resolved?
@clever glacier Has your question been resolved?
you can try using known logarithm inequalities
$$\log x \le \frac{x^s}{s} \text{ for } s > 0$$
$$\log x \ge 1 - \frac 1 x$$
gfauxpas
namely, the second gives you log 2 >= 1/2
Oh wow, wait why log? To estimate where n is true or?
Tysm!!
because you can take log of both sides of an inequality (where terms are >0)
and reverse it by taking e^ both sides
meaning it's sufficient to prove the inequality that you get when taking log of both sides
Ok I see! I’ll try it in my proof…tomorrow😁 tysmmm

Hello, I would like assistance on understanding a linear relations question, having to do with solving it algebraically. Here is a photo of the question for reference
Question 5
You can avoid doing the same question over and over with different numbers by generalising to any slope m you want.
Then for each m you use it to find 2 points Q
But you have to do undefined differently
Okay, I know the formula y2-y1/x2-x1, I’m just confused on how to use it in this circumstance
This whole unit is brand new to me
$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}$
BBMaths
Oops I messed it up
Shouldn’t the x’s be flipped
X1 and x2 wrong way
Yea
You can let x_1 and y_1 be -1 and 2
So do I substitute -1,2 for the y1 and x1 values
Yeah
Got it, let me write that in
Then for x_2 you pick what you want as long as it isn’t -1 (not x_1 again)
Wait could you just use
$$ y_1 - y = m(x_1 - x) $$
lily
Okay, for sign rules I came out with y2-2/x2+1
I’ve never seen that formula
It's the point-slope formula
That’s a really useful formula that does what you want
also I accidently flipped the subscript
Doesn’t matter it just *-1 both sides so it still works
So it helps better for when I’m trying to find alternate slope values?
Yes
You can solve for it by plugging in the values you do have
Put x1 and y1 into this being the point then choose different x values
Okay
Example in Desmos
Wait this can be done on a graphing calculator?
Yes
Yes
I’m just wondering if my teacher wants me to learn how to do it algebraically though
The equations are algebra
I meant with the original formula
$$
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \
$$
$$
y - 2 = m(x - (-1)) \
$$
y - 2 = mx + 1 \
$$
$$
y = mx + 3 \
$$
Find $m$
i'm so rusty in latex
What happens when the number becomes a fraction
lily
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
Simplify if possible, if not leave as is
For example 1/3 for my slope
And it can work with the same formula
Yes, just use the distributive property
My graphing calculator doesn’t have an y button, only x,0, and T
So when I try to put it in as a graph it shows me y1=
Honestly you really don't need a graphing calculator for this, these are linear equations
Okay, so I’ll just stick to paper
So what I have right now is, my setup, I’m going to put a random x value and then solve for y
Do you want me to replace m with 2
Since you already have a point (-1, 2), x1 = -1 and y1 = 2. You only need to plug in m and the resulting points should be your answer
The equation takes a point and a slope to create a linear function
I tried to roughly simplify it, I put x2 as 4, I got y=12
After I subbed m for 2
I don’t know if I’m understanding the question though
So my final answer for one out of the two examples was (4,12)
I think they want me to just try random values for x2 and then solve for y2
"Slope of PQ" is an implict product
Because I checked (4,12) and the key said it was correct
I see
0,4 is correct aswell
So I understand that part now
But my next part of the question wants me to do it with a fraction, 1/3
Ah so it's a point-slope problem
I mean if you plug it into the point-slope formula then you're already done
I’m just confused how I’m going to deal with a fraction on the other side
Haven’t dealt with that much
I’m going to but x2 as 4 again and see what happens
(0, 7/3) would be the one for the 1/3 slope
I got y2= 7/3 for x2=4
I got this after solving
Just so it’s clear the numbers after letters don’t mean anything and if you write it down it should be smaller and in bottom right like $x_{2}$
BBMaths
For typing them on Discord an underscore between the variable and number is sufficent
ex. x_1
Not on paper though
I’m not suppose to do it on paper?
Write it as so $x_1$
lily
maybe I’m being nit picky but I would make sure it’s clear so you don’t double it by accident ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yes
Back to the question now you just use this ^ and put in any x you want except x=-1
Because I can just take (-1,2) and move it up 1 and right 3
Getting my two values out of that
lily
As so
Kinda hard to visualize without a graph😅
Okay I got (2,3) and (5,4)
Key said that was correct
Now with 0
I’m guessing I just do the same thing but m is 0
Zero is a horizontal line
It's just (0, 2) since the slope is null
But there can be more than one value, right
Because I need two
Oh wait I get it, y will ALWAYS be 2
Well it's a flat line you could just pick a random point in the domain
so I can just pick a random x value
Yes
If the rise is unknown multiply the run and the slope. If the run is unknown then use the slope to find it.
For (a)
$$ \frac{rise}{49} = \frac{5}{7} $$
$$ {rise} = \frac{5}{7} \cdot 49 = 35 $$
For (d)
$$ -\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{run} $$
$$ -3 \cdot {run} = 4 \cdot 4 $$
$$ -3 \cdot {run} = 16 $$
$$ {run} = -\frac{16}{3} $$
lily
ooh okay, just times them by eachother to find the missing value
Exactly, just solve
for c in question 6, I times them and I got a fraction, what do I need to fix
Wait what step are you on of solving it
Oh wait nvm
I know what you mean
that's fine the answer can be a fraction
since it's just asking you for the third measure (e.g. rise or run)
I would simplify, but yes
Looks good to me
they answer key says -18
weird?
im confused
You must've miscalculated

Wtf? That's not the pic
resend the actual pic
It was glitching out for me idk why
Yeah showed a random pic for me
ah
I showed this to my professor, and she said I did this wrong, because I pulled a t out of a 4, which didn't have a t
wait a sec
Yeah it is
I meant t mb
oh
$\lim_{t \to \infty}$ ?
Yes
holathere
what did you do here
esp in the numerator
i see you divided the numerator by t, but also multiplied it by t
I rewrote the 4, to take out a t, and cancel it with the numerator and denominator
All that did was just move a denominator term up to the top
So I didnt need to rewrite 4, I just move the t from the denominator to the top?
I don't think all of that would've mattered anyways because as t gets large that 4/t^2 will go to 0 which doesn't really affect the stuff in the parentheses
And then the t outside the parentheses in the denominator becomes infinitely large bringing the product with it
Meaning the entire expression goes to...

For calc 3, im struggling to go through finding vector equations for planes. I understand how to get it for lines, but I am not getting how to do it for planes.
Let’s do an example
Find an equation of the plane.
the plane that passes through the point
(2, 3, 2)
and contains the line of intersection of the planes
x + 2y + 3z = 1 and 2x − y + z = −3
So i know that our r0 is going to be 2,3,2, but I am not sure where we can get our normal plane from.
A plane is perfectly described by :
1 point
2 independent vectors
Right ?
You have a point, now it’s time to find your vectors
Can you find the line where the 2 planes intersect ?
Can we add the two vectors together to find the intersection?
No dumb question
We can take the vectors and cross product them to get a vector.
That in turn is out normal vector no?
Are you talking about finding the intersection of the 2 planes ?
Im rapidly trying to how to get the normal vector of each plane, because if we cross product the normal vectors, we can get the intersection
The normal vectors are not hard to find they’re the coefficients
Is that only when the planes themselves are perpendicular to the plane passing through?
For a line it makes sense, if the line is perpendicular to the plane, the equation of the plane would be perpendicular, and becoems the normal vector
I think it’s better to just solve
Say z=k is your parameter
And then just solve for x & y
Im not sure I understand, are you saying plug in our first point into each equation?

can you help walk me through finding t and r?
you know how the vectors add and subtract right?
somewhat, but I can't remember fully
can you tell what you know?
oh wait yeah, you just add and subtract individual components
is it you connect the tips of two vectors?
yep
its going from u to v, so would i do v-u
yes
yep
ohhh
so i can do that when it connects the tips of two vectors, right?
how about r?
do you know parallelogram law?
hmm i dont think so
ohhh
you can divide you problem into steps, since its in 3d
so i can just add the numbers regularly again?
and do the parallelogram
oh, could you show me how?
r vector is the diagonal of the cube formed with u, v, w right?
yeah
you can try making a parallelogram that includes r as a diagonal, and one for the sides as one of the vectors u,v,w
Hint:||the vector s would form the other side of the parallelogram if you take v as a side|| ||u = s+v||
how so? they dont make a parallelogram
hmm maybe I'll get it if I see it written out?
try to mark them in the diagram itself
visual representation is always better
like I already said, the two vectors would give you three vertices, and r being the sum would get you the 4th vertex of the parallelogram
just draw the sides and youd see

Could anyone help me with this math problem I'm like so lost I don't know the formula for it 😭
do you know how to find the volume of a prism in general?
Yes
ok, tell me how that's done
area of the triangle x height
Uh is it 9 x 12 x 1/2 ?
hello guys any tips for remembering multiple formulas ?
What do they have in common tho
wdym
Uh Im still not sure about how to find the volume 😭
you have the area of the triangle (the cross section)
multiply that by the height of the prism (or based on this orientation depth)

find the equations of direct common tangetns of the following pair of circles x^2 +y^2 -4x -2y + 1 = 0 and x^2 + y^2 +6x + 5 = 0
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.
Oh
My fault, haven’t helped for a while
Ok, so if u notice
Both the circles have a equal radius
That’s not clear from the equations
Their direct common tangents are two parallel lines one on each “side” of the pair
Yes
IK that, but how do i calculate and find it now?
i have the centres of both circle
and their radius
then the gradient will be the same as that of the segment connecting their centres
yup, which comes out to be 1/5
but what do i do next!?!? I have got no other point to write the eqns of tangent
Yeah Im at 1/5 right now
Mhmm
Yes
Ok
the distance comes out to be root26
so you could consider the perpendicular line going through the centre of one of the circles
for example, y - 1 = -5(x - 2)
and then the two intersections with the circle lie on the respective lines
yeah?
should be surds
i got the answer is surd forms, should i tell you that?
Oh
Mines was the two direct common tangents
Yeah but I think ur way/ @pastel vault Is correct
I had a question like this on the MAT and I got it wrong even after getting the right answer halfway through so I’m getting nightmarish flashbacks looking at this question
yeah I feel that yes it's a lot of algebra
There are 4 lines that are tangent to both circles, but maybe the direct ones are the ones above
but conceptually this makes the most sense
yeahh nice thing
two TCT, and two DCT
oh parallel, nvm
I didn’t learn that terminology
I was talking about direct common tangent and transverse common tangent
yeah
lemme try the perpendicular line thingy
Sorry I meant tangent
OMG , my brain if fogged right now, i will do this after a quick cycle ride 🫠
actually you know, the indirect common tangent is easier
first find the midpoint of the centres
then sub y = m * (x + 1/2) + 1/2 into x^2 + y^2 + 6x + 5 = 0, then you need the discriminant to equal 0
you get a quadratic in m
this is why when the radii are the same, you have these nice conditions
it'd be a bit hellish otherwise

would proof to this be easy in any way or no
eh it's just symbol pushing so yeah
it's all fairly mechanical calculation with algebra and differentiation
there's no shocking insight or anything like that
well it does seem so
because by looking at it
im not seeing the proof in my head
imma give it a bit more time to see if i can figure it out
btw the e^....
is a factor right ?
like we have multiplication there
yes you are multiplying by $\exp \left(-\int^{t}_{t_0} p(t) \dd{t} \right)$
Civil Service Pigeon
p(x) dx
anyways small issue idk with notation
when we use W(y1,y2)(to)
we get a matrix that has y1'(to)
a proof from my textbook (spoilers if you want to prove it yourself)
ill check it after i finisht trying to prove it myself
yes
wdym?
because if i differentiate
its =>
since going backwards adds c
which isnt valid
so it only goes => the right way
so if i start with this and get to something thats true by differentiating it wont be a proof
as i cant go <=
i brought it to -ln (...) = $\int^{t}_{t_0} p(x) \dd{x} \right)$

Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
but i realised i cant differentiate
it might help to note that you have already seen functions involving some e^(integral p(x) dx), probably at the beginning of the course
it might help to recall what context you saw that in before
in first order linear ode solution?
yes exactly
yea but that wasnt the integral function
so that sort of indicates that W(x,y) is the solution to some first order ode involving p
idk
well i know y1, y2 , y1+y2 are solutions
i have an idea
asumme there is a solution y3(t) = u(t) y1(t)?
nvm this doesnt reduce the original one
and another problem is its p(x) not p(t)
x is just a dummy variable inside the integral
that i cant get rid of
cause i cant differentiate it
should i maybe go through the solving progress
because this is just Dx/D
to solve for c1/c2
so we have this idea that maybe W is the solution to some first order linear ode. maybe if we take a look at what equation W' should satisfy we could recover that ode (and then we would be able to solve it for W)
W'(y1,y2)(t) = 0?
or did i make a mistake
no, it's more complicated than that
it isn't true
try writing out W(y1,y2)(t) in full and then taking the derivative of that
Where did i make a mistake
I expanded it and replaced y1" and 2 with what they are equal to based on the 2nd order
I did but i ended up on 0 for some reason
@karmic field Has your question been resolved?
oh yea thats the mistake
p(t) y + y' = 0
is the equation of which W(y1,y2)(t) is a solution
yes
what is the issue?
the main thing it's useful for is to see that W(y1,y2)(t) is either:
- zero everywhere if c = 0
- nonzero everywhere if c =/= 0
it can also be used in the calculations for variation of parameters

What am I doing wrong with this excel formula? My prof wants me to use a relative frequency formula that can apply to the rest of the variables, but I just can't get it down.
if the value is in "" then it will search for matches to that string, so currently it is counting the number of cells containing the string "H18"
probably what you want is just the cell number H18, which would then count the number of cells matching the contents of cell H18
h18 is the number 10, so it should count the amount of 10s in the data set right?
but whenever I press enter it gives me a 0. there are 3 tens in the data set
and whenever I drag the formula down I get 0s
im so bad at math trying to figure out how to use excel on top of that is torture
=countif(B:B,H18) counts the number of cells whose contents match the contents of cell H18. =countif(B:B,"H18") counts the number of cells whose contents are the string "H18"

im stuck at the part where when u/(43+u^2) becomes (1/2)ln(43+u^2). how do i do that
substitution of k = 43 + u^2
oh i substitute it again?
yes
no
how so?
the integral has a u in the numerator
I'm talking about the 1/2
you want to cancel it out and get a 1/k dk form
I know why the ln is there
the OP was asking about how they got that result. it is through a substitution.
the 1/2 also comes from the substitution.

how do i solve this kind of sistem
a = max((6+b)/ 2, 5)
b = max((a+c)/ 2, 3)
c = max((b+d)/ 2, 2)
d = max((c+1)/ 2, 4)``` where the numbers on the right are some given constants and the 6 and 1 from a and d are also given constants
and i need to do this for n variables
!xy
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.
so x1 = max((constant + x2) / 2, constant)
xi = max((x(i-1) + x(i+1)) / 2, constant)
xn = max((x(n-1) + constant) / 2, constant)
its not from a textbook or from somewhere exactly
@lucid maple Has your question been resolved?
so you made the problem up yourself?
yeah i reduced another thing to this
what i had before is irrelevant
i just need a + b + c + d
if you ignore the max condition, then this is a linear system with n equations and n variables
I cant tell at a glance whether the coeff matrix is invertible
but feels like it
yeah theres def. a solution for the linear sistem
you could formulate it as a LP
and then use a LP solver
i.e. you have the conditions a>=(6+b)/2, a>=5, b>=(a+c)/2, b>=3 etc
whats an lp?

I do not know if I am being gaslit or something
Did I miss this during school?? Is the curriculum in my country just bad that I didn't learn this??
,w factorize 2x^2+2x-12
That's wrong
you see, the factorization they did is wrong
Also what does that even mean
Then what even is the correct answer??
the explanation looks like AI tbh
They tried factoring the denominator... which just returns the denominator
idk why
Yea it's a country issue ig
Rip for you man
This isn't even an online quiz, it's a reviewer(unofficial) for a college admission exam
Their answer is correct tho
upon factorization you can divide the numerator and denominator by (x-2) and you get (2x+6) as the answer
$\frac{2x^2+2x-12}{x-2} = \frac{2(x+3)(x-2)}{x-2} = 2(x+3) = 2x+6$
Nel
That's what they tried to do
Could you show me the process for that?
This
(x-3)(x+4) is the wrong numerator for this equation??
Like I said

Help pls
you doing ncert?
Cannot find any errors apart from the fact that it might be circular reasoning
the criteria provided is wrong
It will not be AAS
Because im pretty sure AAS is applicable when top ∠ is used, and bottom ∠ with base is used
and here that is not the case
Other than that I can't really find defects
I think AAS is correct here, because a side that's not in between the two given angles is given.
AAS is satisfied sadly
I'm more inclined to go with circular reasoning.
hmm
The non-included side is the one they physically share (AD)
@tardy zenith Has your question been resolved?
Yeah, i didnt wanna believe
But the defect is that we simply assumed that
ADperpBC if and only if ADC=ADB
Brother what is answer
the third element of the reasoning
Basically: You didnt use the hypothesis properly
ADC = ADB is a thesis
At this, the angleA = angleC falls under that problem too
I not understnd
Its poorly written, basically.
The ideas behind it are all sound, its just that we assumed a few things on the way without actually stating it.
@tardy zenith Has your question been resolved?
We claim that the angles opposite to equal sides are equal
It would have been better to use RHS congruency

is this integration by parts?
is the integral solveable using substitution
idt so
because of the ln right
besides by part is the easiest way here since the ln(u) makes for a great u function in udv - int(vdu)
yup!
the acronym that i would use in deciding which would be the u function in general is LIPET - logarithmic, inverse trig, polynomial, exponential, trigonometric, but that's just how I was taught it
isnt it ILATE
how does that help you
i think there's multiple, that's why i said that's how i was taught it
in an integration by parts, you'll have two functions multiplied - you have to pick one to be u and one to be v
if you don't pick the easier one to be u, life can get difficult

True or false question, I put false but the answer was true?
just confused bc like unless given that b=0, how can it be an even function?
have you tried to just calculate the integrals?
ye there is a cleverer option
but calculating would make u sure that this is true
for the cleverer option
but how could I see that without spending ages on it
first do u know abt function parity?
not by name
odd and even functions
ye mb
