I got the two equations
x^2 + y^2 = 9
3x + 4y = 12
But every time i try and substitute x or y and try to solve i always get something really weird
So basically can someone find the points of intersection of
x^2 + y^2 = 9
3x + 4y = 12
With the answer being (0,3) or weird fraction
nvm got it

I don't really understand the setup of the problem
Is the question asking me to find the height at which P has the given speed?
I don't think I have enough information for that
Shouldn't I also be given the mechanical energy, or the magnitude of the normal force?
I don't really know where to begin, there seems to be too many variables
And I also do not understand how the particle can move in horizontal circles at all, under the influence of gravity

$(x+1)^n= 1+ nx + \frac{n(n-1)}{ 2!}x^2 + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3\cdots$
james_ash_.
yeah, i know that but where did (-1)^r come from
and (r+1)(sqrt2x)^r
a = 1
b = sqrt2x
nvm, still doesnt make any sense
you can also use the series for 1/(1+x)^2
if the binomial coefficient is confusing
im mega confused
im confused than before
my brain cells are
deducting
it seems not a lot of people know how to solve this question ._.

I have a really general question that I can't seem to find an answer for.
If I had the number sequence: 3, 5, 7... 19.
Is there a formula to find how many odd numbers there are?
The full question is to add all the odd numbers from 3-19.
find the general term of the sequence, then set it equal to 19 and find n
How would I do that?
For normal consecutive adding, I used: S=((1st + Last) x Number of Numbers)/2
$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$
Mosh
for arithmetic sequences
So,
An is number of numbers which is what I'm finding.
a1 is the first term.
n is the last term?
d is the amount of terms in total?
no
a_n is the nth term
n is the index
d is the common difference.
a_1 likewise is the 1st term.
How do I use it to find the amount of odd or even numbers?
wdym
D would be a difference of 2 in those cases right?
The question is basically, add all the odd numbers from 3-19 inclusive.
If the question asked for even numbers, it would be the same D difference of 2 right?
That's cleared. So now what term do I solve for when putting it into the original formula?
you want n.
Oh, ok, I'll try that.
Yep, I got 9 which is correct when checking the long tedious listing way. Thanks for helping!

Factoring of $\sqrt{72}$
dldh06
Sorry
Didn't realize @near loom asked in an occupied channel
Meaning read #❓how-to-get-help
It was on the available for me sorry
Kapp
it was
I know dh/dt is equal to 2 feet/sec, and the height against the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away is 5 * root 5
and what formula can you use to relate all 3 sides?
pythagora
right
would i go to c'=2a + 2b for dx/dh?
remember to differentiate implicitly
also try substituting your variables
10^2=h^2+x^2
so i'd go to 10^2=2h*h' + 2x+x'?
yes
and you also solved for h
so you have everything but dx/dt, which is what you're solving for
because h was 5 root 5. Awesome, thanks a ton

so, I'm pretty sure I got the right general solution to this ODE, but the thing about intervals of validity is that maybe the only discontinuity points are such that (x=-\dfrac{3y}{5})
SubGui
so we get that either (-\infty<x<-\dfrac{30^{\frac{2}{3}}}{5}), (-\dfrac{30^{\frac{2}{3}}}{5}<x<\dfrac{30^{\frac{2}{3}}}{5}) or (\dfrac{30^{\frac{2}{3}}}{5}<x<\infty) are contenders, but only the second contains the point (x=0) from the boundary condition
SubGui
is this the correct answer to the question or something else should have been done?
(\pm) tho, typo here

i gotta figure out the answer to this using this matrix as my help
idk what it even means
how can i use this matrix to figure out a, b, c?
im assuming i have to find out what a, b, c are. a, b, c e R here
the question/task is to figure out that system of equations and to use the matrix i posted above as my help
@faint pendant Has your question been resolved?
can you post the original problem statement please
figure out with part a's solution the following system of equation's solution
in a) i have to find out the inverse matrix for that
and its this
oh, so you just want to solve this system for x, y and z?
it tells me to solve the system in b) so i guess thats what its asking. i havent done a question like this before
even my teacher didnt show an example
and i somehow gotta use that inverse matrix too
would you be able to do it if a, b and c were replaced with numbers
go through the exact same motions as you would with numbers on the right-hand side
okay ill do that and see what i get
how does the inverse matrix play a part here?
this looks so messy
let X = [x; y; z] and B = [a; b; c]
then your system can be written as AX = B
so X = A^-1 B
okay i understand what youre saying
cant a,b,c be any number here?
it will be diag(1) * B = B right
what form should i get this into? if it was numbers i would get it into a form where x_3 = 3 for example. as soon as im able to solve it im done with the matrix
...yes, so what?
no isnt that the answer
i got mixed up
im lost here idk what to do tbh
when i start solving this like a,b,c would be any number this gets so messy
this is what i have atm. if a,b,c would be numbers here id find out what x_3 and then i could solve the rest
is this what u meant when u said to proceed like a,b,c are numbers?
yes, this is what i meant, but you also can and should simplify your expressions
c - a - 3(b-2a) can and should be simplified into 5a - 3b + c for example
yep. i just was lazy there and didnt wanna write out the whole thing again
so what now?
how would you proceed if you had the last row read [0, 0, -1 | 42069]?
my z, x_3 would be -42069 and then id put that in the second row where i would have y, x_2 + 2 * x_3 = somenumbers
i would proceed like its a system of equations
okay, so you have $z = -5a + 3b - c$
Ann
yes
is this the answer?
now that i look at it. if i put a,b,c = 1
its the same as the inverse matrix i got earlier

A metalsmith produced a trophy made of gold and silver for a sport competition. The weight of
the trophy is 1300g and it costs 1840€.
If the price of gold is 8€/g and the price of silver is 1.7€/g, how much gold and silver did the
metalsmith use for making the trophy?
<@&286206848099549185>
@tropic lotus here you need to start by assuming that for example x is the amount of grams used for gold
and y is the amount of grams used for silver
so x : gold grams
yeah thats what i did
x+y = 1300
then you construct the equations based on the information
that's right
second equation?
and then i did 8x+1.7y = 1840
but i have to solve this with substation
ok so did you try?
yes
what have you tried?
i substituted y as 1300-x
then i multiplied it by 1.7
which then gave me 8x + 2210-1.7x = 1840
adn then 6.3x + 2210 = 1840
6.3x = -370
and it gives me a negative number
interesting
which is wrong
yes

Let’s say I have a function that I determined the limit to exist thus the function is convergent, but how would I evaluate the convergent?
what do you mean by "function is convergent"?
This calculus 2 video tutorial explains how to evaluate improper integrals. It explains how to determine if the integral is convergent or divergent by expressing the limit as it approaches infinity. It also explains how to determine if the integral is improper by identifying any vertical asymptotes or infinite discontinuites. This video conta...
that
The problem Im doing says "Determine whether each integral is convergent or divergent. Evaluate those that are convergent."
I determined that my integral function was convergent b/c limit of it exists
but idk how to evluate
Yeah, integral not function
Oh ok
even if you show that the integral is convergent, it may not be obvious how to find the actual integral. bessel problem took years lol
hm
Bassel took me 2 seconds to write the answer to \s
I found the limit to be -4


yea we did
yeah do that then
u = 3-x, u+x = 3, x = 3-u, dx = -1 du,
oh you already did the integral oops
yeah that looks right
yea and it tuned out to be convergent but I was asked to evluate it
How do I evaluate the convergent
you just did
Oh...
it converges to 80
Ahhh I see
although i don’t know if you would really use converge like that in this context

is this from your test?
@tropic plover Has your question been resolved?
@tropic plover what is f(x)?
you need the definition of the function to figure it out
that's the first image
oh im dumb
since infinity plus or minus any real number is still infinity, then all of those +3s and stuff dont matter
so bascally its like infinity*infinity*infinity
as x approaches infinity
the same applies for negative infinity
however because negative times negative equals positive some of the negatives cancel out
so in the end you get that it approaches infinity in both cases
I'll add: A reference to the table on the left should be all the justification your instructor needs. Depending on the instructor you could multiply all the terms together for one large polynomial or just predict which form it will be anecdotally
to solve that question do i have to make it a Simplest Form first?
Not necessarily. By looking at this equation I can tell that the highest degree of the equation will be x^4 (by counting the exponents on the terms in parentheses) and that there are no negative signs that would flip the equation upside-down.
$f(x)=(x+3)^1+(x-1)^1+(x-4)^2$
You only need to know the general shape of the graph to know what it does at the end. A normal parabola of the form y=x^2 will always go up when you go left and will always go up when you go right.
I'm not sure what part of it you don't understand, can you explain further please
Here's a graph that shows that the highest degree in a polynomial will determine end behavior. There are huge odd-degree negative terms but if you zoom out enough you can see that it goes up on both sides because the highest degree is even numbered with a positive coefficient.
as x go + inf, y will also go +inf??
That's correct. You can actually see that by looking at which quadrant of the graph the ends of the lines end up in
so when x go - inf the y will also go -inf?
Correct. You don't have to graph the equation to see it. You can look at the highest degree and whether it's even or odd and positive or negative and you'll know its shape when you zoom out far enough
ohhh
You can play with these graphs in Desmos if you want to prove it to yourself
also how do i find the y intercept of the equation?
The Y-Intercept is when the equation touches the vertical line in the center of the plane, which is when x=0. So set X equal to 0 in the equation and solve for Y.
More formally, the y intercept is f(0)
-12 ?
That's correct
if they r talking about What are the zeros of the function are they talking about the values of x where f(x) = 0?
Yes
so in this case is going to be 3
@tropic plover Has your question been resolved?
how do i find the y for this one then?
What y?
intercept
do you have the formula of this function?
because you have the answer on the pic, don't you?
no i dont have the equation of the fuction
so 10 right
I'd go with the point (0, 10), not just 10
but maybe that's what they expect you to do
not sure
if the question ask me What are the zeros of the function above?
how can i answer that
zeros = solutions (x1,x2, whatever)
y intercept = whatever intersects the y axis
Vertex = (x,y)
just to name a few
Erzis エルジス
because $f(x_1)=f(x_2)=0$
Erzis エルジス
that's why zeros
yes, plug your x1 and x2 in
and you will see that for these x's function has value 0
and that's what we call zeros
-2,0
yeah, that's one of the points
and 5,0

To find the value of an absolute min or max we find the derivative of the OG function then we find the critical points and once we do that what do we do?
Should i plug in the critical points in the original function or the derivative of that function?

Can anyone help me with this problem? I don't know how to work on it. "The path graph P on n vertices is the graph with vertices V = {1, 2, 3, . . . , n} and edges
E = {{i, i + 1} : 1 ≤i ≤n −1}. Prove that P is connected for all n."
@inner oasis Has your question been resolved?
maybe you like do induction
i've tried induction but i couldn't figure it out
if 1, it's connected
if n+1 it's connected if it's a connected graph + a connected edge
can you elaborate more please?
hmm ive tried induction but it wasnt working out
i don't know what it's supposed to look like
it's obvious, induction is how you prove obvious things
but I don't know exactly what it should say
maybe im doing my induction wrong
basically n+1 graph has a part of it that's literally an n-graph
like the description of the edge clearly shows its connected
because the edges thing names the same edges, just stops one short
induction lets you prove that part is connected
then you explicitly can show that the last edge is connected to the part
okay ill try it that way
the only thing unclear is how you say "the edges thing names the same edges, just stops one short"
that's just intuitively how that notation works
ahh okay
i may be going in reverse btw

what did you get for f'(x)
how do you get tan from sin(x)/x
if you set this to 0 and multiply both sides by x^2, you get 0 = xcos(x) - sin(x)
adding sin to both sides yields sin(x) = xcos(x)
dividing by cos(x) gives you tan(x) = x
so i set the whole equation to 0 instead of just the numerator?
what do you mean by just the numerator
i thought a faction equaled 0 when the numerator was 0
yes
that's because if you multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of the fraction, the denominator goes away
**if the fraction is set equal to 0
so you can do either
i see

so my number line rn is 2pi.....pi/4.....0.....pi/4.....2pi
i dont understand how both parts of the interval are positive
on a number line, what you'd normally get is
-2pi.....-pi/4.....0.....pi/4.....2pi
but if you look at a graph of sinx/x, you get
its entirely symmetric, so the right side is just the left side but mirrored
so in your number line, you can just mirror the positive side (i.e. 0.....pi/4.....2pi)
which yields
2pi.....pi/4.....0.....pi/4.....2pi
oh ok
i used the test values -4pi/3 ,-pi/6 ,4pi/3 and pi/6 and got all positive intervals 
are you finding the intervals or are you just finding the values at -4pi/3 ,-pi/6 ,4pi/3 and pi/6?
the intervals
hmm
the slope should be negative at pi/6
i.e. the function is decreasing around pi/6
im getting positive
what was your answer
multiplying root 3 by pi is the same as 1.73205*3.14159, which is 5.44
5.44-6 yields a negative number
so (3 * {negative #})/pi^2 gives a negative number
oh i guess i was just being lazy 😔
sorry
no worries
it happens
my sign chart is -2pi (+) -pi/4 (+) 0 (-) pi/4 (-) 2pi
is this sign chart for locations on the y-x plane for f(x) or are they the slopes of the derivative?
slopes of the derivative
the function actually decreases and then increases from -2pi to -pi
where does pi come from?
pi is when the function crosses the x-axis
i.e. when y = sin(x)/x = 0
oh
so i dont need pi/4
so if i were to approach another rational function would i just set the original function equal to 0 instead of the derivative?
hmm i'm not sure how to get pi/4 (maybe that's where f changes concavity) but the function typically changes from decreasing to increasing or increasing to decreasing at critical points (i.e. when the derivative is 0)
oh no i just used -2pi and -pi to show that the function isn't only increasing in that interval
they were just the easiest points to use on a graph
sinx/x is an oscillating function, so just from a sketch of the function, you can see that the function decreases and then increases at some point between -2pi and -pi
the intervals would have to be from critical point to critical point
i still cant see how i would find pi using the derivative
yeah its a bit tricky since, if you set the derivative to 0, you get tanx - x = 0
which is a tough equation

Transcendental equations involve functions which cannot be constructed algebraically (i.e. by a finite number of simple polynomials) -- in the present context our equation (tan(x) - x = 0) involves the trigonometric tangent function, which is formulated by an infinite power series. This equation results, for example, when attempting to find the ...

Can this problem be solved using partial fractions only? I showed it to a friend and he thinks there is a mistake in our problem set
what are you asked for?
The indefinite integral
okay
yes, this is expected
the numerator is higher degree than the denominator, so you need to write the fraction as the sum of a polynomial and a proper fraction
from here leave the x+3 alone and partial-fraction the (7x-6)/(x^2-3x+2) as normal
The second term, we will just find the integral using partial fractions as normal
Yep cool, thank u so much

how to do this
Binomial theorem
💀
ik but i've never done where the first bracket was ^2 or more
so idk how to start the question
uh i still don't know how to start the question
Either look in your book or google binomial expansion of (x+y)^n (where your x is here x^2 and y is 1/x and n=3 for the first bracket)
i got the first bit down to 3Cr times x^6-3r
?
Yes now we only care about the constant term
So only 1 of those are a constant, figure out what it is
isn't constant term just x^0
so r = 2
Which gives the constant term?
6-3r?
3C2 = 3
uh got r = 2
and constant term 24
then ig just 24 x 3 = 72
is that it?
Yes

How do i find the a and b values here to try and solve using a^2-2ab+b^2
why should I rewrite it as 1+2?
that turns it into a perfect square polynomial
just so you know, if you know the approximate square root of 3 and 2 you can get the answer without doing any of this
yes
well not exactly
Does it help with other questions that have radicals?
yeah
so how do I decide what is a and b now?
I am quite bad at radicals since I havent really studied them yet.
notice that if you make the 2 negative when square rooting it the whole thing will be negative
yeah
so the 1 will be negative instead
so it will be -1+sqrt2
or (sqrt2)-1
i assume that’s what they meant for b
no not like that
keep it in the form from before
you see how there was a minus sign in there right
the only way for that to happen is if one of the numbers in the first place was negative
before it got squared
when you square root it
not like that
i might not be phrasing this properly
so you have a minus sign there
-1 or -2
notice that both (-a+b)^2 and (a-b)^2 get you something that looks like that
yeah
you know what a and b will be

Hi! I came across the Lambert W function when trying to solve e^x = x + 1. I do understand how this works, and I know the real answers to this equation. So I get how W0 and W-1 work, but for complex solutions to x, I just don't get how (for example) W6 works. Is there a way I can imagine what this would look like - some pictures you know of? - So firstly, I'm asking for help understanding this and secondly, does this mean that there are infinite solutions for x? I mean the real solution for x=0. But for W6, I would get some complex number, for W7 another one etc... Or is this just a problem with the nature of this function, not being an elementary function? - Please go easy on me, I'm just a student and this is the first time, I ask a question here 😅

Is this series Converging or Diverging ?
What test should I use ?
Yk ln(n)=<n
Yeah , I know that , so ?
it's Sam
But add 0< before b_n
Got anything yet?
Using limit comparison test ( 1/(n)^1/2 ) ,
bn ( 1/(n+1)^1/2 ) is diverging , hence this test doesn't work .
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/739351645510434817/907474600198287410/QQQQQQQQQQQQQ.PNG
Yes
I think its diverging series so we need to find another diverging series which can be used in comparison test
What about limit comparison test
IDK , I've tried everything but I might've missed something .
Ok
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Try limit comparison with 1/(n sqrt(n+1))
Oh but this one is convergent so it won't work
This question is so in between convergence and divergence
<@&286206848099549185>
I've tried integration by parts and using variable both didn't work
$\textcolor{blue}{ \lim_{t \to \infty} \int_1^t \frac{ln(x)}{x\sqrt{x+1}} dx}$\
then substitute $u=ln(x) \Rightarrow du = \frac{1}{x} dx$\
So $\textcolor{red}{\lim_{t\to \infty} \int_0^t \frac{u}{\sqrt{e^u + 1}} du}$
it's Sam
,w integration ln(x)/(x sqrt(x+1)) dx from 0 to infty
yes it is , but idk how to take the integral of that .
That means I've done some wrong substitution
,w integral from 1 to infinity lnx/(xsqrt(x+1))
hi mobile what test can you use ?
you substituted right
any kind ? p-test for example ?
it does but, i dont know if he can use it
Which one
Yes but what modifications
if you apply it directly prob not
Limit comparison test
Direct comparison test
Integral test
Ratio test
Root test
Limit of the summand
p-series test
Alternating series test
It's okay if u say it here 
what can you tell about this limit
$$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{ln(n)}{n^{a}}$$ with $a>0$
BillyElKid
0 for a>1/2 I think
It will diverge when a is close to 0
Let me just check with wolfram
If you don't mind I'll do it here
,w lim n to infty ln(n)/n^(1/8)
= 0
nice
This will be going to 0 for n^(1/4) too
Wow I actually thought this before but never bothered to check
so this means that for a $n$ sufficiently large $$ln(n) \leq n^{a}$$ no ?
BillyElKid
Yeah , so ?
Think if you use n^(1/8) then what will you get in comparison test
And We have n^(3/2) in denominator
By comparison test you mean
1) Direct comparison test
or
2) Limit comparison test
?
Direct
$\textcolor{red}{\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ln(n)}{n\sqrt{n+1}} < \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^{1/8}}{n\sqrt{n+1}}}$
it's Sam
n^(1/8) / n * n^1/2 is divergent
be careful sam, remember that the inequality holds only for a $n$ sufficiently large
BillyElKid
Ah yes it won't work for some initial values
yes, but i see you got the idea
so i will let you finish with this guy, sorry for the intrusion tho
(3/2 - 1/8) = (12-1 /8) = 11/8 > 1
ok
What do you think a method that will work without this drawback
Ik for sqrt(n) > ln(n) for all n>0
Does it matter if the inequality is true for example for n >= 100 ?
I think the sum in this case will be bounded if we add first 100 terms
$\textcolor{red}{\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ln(n)}{n\sqrt{n+1}} < \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{k} \frac{ln(n)}{n\sqrt{n+1}} + \displaystyle \sum_{n=k+1}^{\infty} \frac{n^{1/8}}{n\sqrt{n+1}}}$
I'm a bit confused about this , I wanted to do integral test for another example and then I asked teacher that the graph is descending after n = 2 , and she said that we can ignore the first time cause it won't effect whether the series is convergent or divergent , then I asked what if it is n = 1000 , and she said that's also fine , never understood why ?
it's Sam
oh ok , so as long as k is finite , k can be as big as possible
Yes
