your answer is wrong too
It can't be 111 cuz its increasing
What's the answer 
Ok let me see
Wdym
Your understanding has nothing to do with the solution
because your solution doesnt make sense
To you perhaps
My solution is close to the answer for a reason and the case could even be that given answer is wrong
,w 250(1.5)^(15/8)
i translated with google translate
250 is initial amount at t=0
Then this will be the case
By writing just one year it doesn't help
That needs a modification as to start of year end of year or what
Year 1 to year 8 is 7 year period so it needs to be
Start of year 1 and end of year 8 in the statement to get the right answer
Anyway just continue over this you get a⁸ = 1.5
And you want to find 250 a¹⁵ = 250 (a⁸)^(15/8)
You get 535

how do i solve y=220-200e^-kx
which one of them is a fctor
i dont know how to get rid of the 220-200
wdym solve
Factor to what?
just isolate for e^(-kx)...

how
well one, what's the actual question?
^^
cause you can't solve anything in a function
^^
unless you have a 2nd function
after 15 mins the temp is 53c. decide k
???
This is something about exponential growth
y=220-200*e^(-kx)
Post the question verbatum, we're not mind readers
What's initial temp koki
i posted the question
You did not
just look up
You did not
what's y and what's x?
This is your question not the book question
this is the whole question.. to decide k
it isnt
Ofc not
cause we dont know what y and x are
e^(-kt)?
y= c degrees x= minutes in the own
wow, finally
There we go
I get one thing that it's exponential/continuous growth but full question
so x=15 and y=53
Please send the ORIGINAL problem whenever you're asking a question
The server really needs to put this in #❓how-to-get-help
clearly not
What's with 220 and 200?
no idea
anyway... just sub in the values then isolate for k.
Yeah
Basic algebra
i dont know which to do first
with math
@crimson sedge Not know
Shen
Start by subtracting both sides by 220, and then dividing by -200
A natural log and another division step will be involved
okay that was what i wanted to know
It's algebra
i got k=0,0120
Ok
Alright, if you're done, close the channel
220 won't be there
Forgot the constant of 9 in front
How do i know whats a constant and whats a factor
You can't write y' on 2nd line
Constant is number or a letter used to denote constant
@sand kayak Has your question been resolved?

How did you get to that answer?
(Btw if it's easier you could take it in Swedish with me)
this makes no sense
because the top becomes 0
no matter what
it happens all the time i do the central differenskvot the top becomes always 0 to me
Well your function $f$ is given by
%
$$f(x)=\frac{200x}{x^2+1}$$
%
and you wanted to approximate the derivative $f'(4)$ using a central difference quotient. What that means is that your approximation will be given by
%
$$f'(4)\approx\frac{f(4+h)-f(4-h)}{2h}$$
%
correct?
Lorago
Yes
f(x) to me is f(a)
And you're doing it at $4$
Lorago
so i need to put in 4 first?
Well the general formula would be
%
$$f'(x)\approx\frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h}$$
Lorago
But you can plug in x=4 at any step here
i did exactly just that
put in 200x/x^2+1 as f(x)
f(a) for that matter
and then with the h
Also the reason you're getting $0$ is because what you're writing is
%
$$\frac{f(x)+h-f(x)-h}{2h}$$
%
and if we just look at this we can simplify it as
%
$$\frac{f(x)+h-f(x)-h}{2h}=\frac{(f(x)-f(x))+(h-h)}{2h}=\frac{0+0}{2h}=0$$
Lorago
So this will always give you 0 in the numerator regardless of your function
The important thing is that
$$f(x+h)\neq f(x)+h$$
Lorago
Notice the big difference here. In your case you have:
%
$$f(x+h)=\frac{200(x+h)}{(x+h)^2+1}$$
%
but
%
$$f(x)+h=\frac{200x}{x^2+1}+h.$$
%
Notice that these are very different. The formula for the central difference quotient tells you to use the first one but you use the second one
Lorago
$f(x+h)$ means you should plug in $(x+h)$ everywhere you have an $x$ in $f(x)$
Lorago
Does that make sense?
Yea now it does
So do you see why it went wrong?
Exactly!
Okay
Just keep in mind that it should be $f'(4)\approx$ and not $f'(x)=$. Remember that you're \textbf{approximating} it \textbf{at the point $x=4$}
Lorago
Oh wait actually
I didn't read carefully enough
It's not entirely correct
What you wrote is what $f(4+0.001)$ should be, but remember that you want to compute
$$\frac{f(4+0.001)-f(4-0.001)}{2\cdot 0.001}$$
Lorago
Does that make sense?
Okay now i am confused
Im lost
I need to start thinking over
We need to derive f(x)
Does making a central differenskvot the same as deriving?
Yes, you want to differentiate f, but you only want to approximate it using a central difference quotient
So the key thing is that the derivative is what you get as h goes to 0
But since your h is bigger than that, you're only getting close to the true value
I.e. you're approximating it
So the derivative of $f$ could be given by
%
$$f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h}$$
%
and so the central difference quotient is what you get when you remove the limit
What should i be doing nowp
Lorago
I dont get it
You should plug everything into
$$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h}$$
Lorago
Put in 4+h into all the x’s?
Exactly!
No, that only gives you what $f(x+h)$ is
Lorago
Then i dont understand what it wants from me
So what you should get is
$$f'(x) \approx \frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h}$$
$$=\frac{\frac{200(x+h)}{(x+h)^2+1}-\frac{200(x-h)}{(x-h)^2+1}}{2h}$$
and then you can plug in your value for $x$ and $h$ and calculate it
uhhhh one moment
Lorago
but the we will get a 0
what the heck am i looking at
what they sent is not the derivative
Great
$f’(x) = lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$
quantum
The question is not asking for the derivative
What kind of bs was that
It asks to approximate the derivative with a central difference quotient
I need to start over
I dont think this question is supposed to be this difficult
So why are we here for so long
With a bunch of numbers
It isn't that difficult either.
I think you should work a bit more on understanding the concepts here instead of just plugging in numbers into formulas of that's the case
I understand the concept
Its just not workingo
And i dont know why
And no one can help
@sand kayak has a boyfriend
So do I, what's your point? lol
@sand kayak are you familiar with what a derivative is?
Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, I want to try a different angle and just checking your understanding
Yes
So let's pretend you had no idea how to find the derivative of a function
How would you approximate the derivative?
Using one of those 3 rules with quotes
Well that's really vague
Instead of relying on rules, can you explain the concept to me as if you were teaching me?
F(a+h)-f(a-h)/2h
Okay so a derivate decribes the speed of something changing
Okay so
So there's another word for it
There is a thing in calculators where they put in bad values when you try to read points on a line
Thats where this quote comes from
close this one
Forget the quote
We use it to be able to more accurately find a point between 2 other points
he already has two channels
Should close the other one
The other one poorly defined the problem and was open later
So not quite
Another word for rate of change
Is slope
Are you familiar with this?
Yes
Ok so imagine you drew the function
Graphed it out
How would you use the slope definition to find the derivative at x=4
whats the slope definition
You don't know how to calculate slope?
oh so k= y2-y1/x2-x1
Right
Think of it as rise divided by run
Rise being the difference in y values, the vertical change
yea
Ok so
Now look at your graph
And see if you can visualize
How you would pick two points
To calculate the slope
i dont have my graph pictured
It doesnt have to be this exact graph
Imagine any graph
It's the concept that matters
i would pick any 2 points on the line and put in the coordinates to get k
Ok and if we are trying to calculate f'(4)
What 2 points would you pick?
What would be pretty close to f'(4)?
i would pick x=4 and then idk i would have to put in x=4 into the y=kx+m thing
i cant pick y when i dont know where it is
i dont understand how this is helping
put in x=4 into the equation
Yep!
In other words
The coordinate would be at f(4)
Er
(4, f(4))
That is your first point (x,y)
So you have one point right?
yes but how is this helping me
i need to derive my original question
okay
yea
yea
And if it's not close enough
Just pick points that are closer together
So what would your second point be then?
i dont know.. they have to be in between the point you want if you cant derive it
Right
But notice that the gap between 4 and 4.1
Was arbitrary
I could've picked anything right?
Exactly
And so they want that gap to be a particular width
That's the h
Which was what, 0.001?
Or something
yes
So one of your points is
x= 4-0.001
And the other one is
x= 4+0.001
You find the slope between
yea
hmm not really
i am supposed to use the formula
and not whatever you wrote
and my problem is that its not working
Well, you are using the formula
This is literally where the formula comes from
That's the part I'm trying to explain
If you're getting lost doing pages and pages of arithmetic and work
Try taking it piece by piece
and yea i understand it, my problem isnt understand the formula it is the fact that its wrong
By understanding where the formula comes from
i used the formula and no matter what i do i get 1 as the answer
i sent pictures of my solutions before
and i been talking to people for one hour and no one solved it
Please compute f(4.001)
I doubt you did this correctly
,w 200x/(x^2+1) where x=4.001
I saw all of them
You're not listening
Please calculate f(4.001)
You are calculating this value incorrectly
People also write 4.002 as 4,002
Oh wait is that just how you write decimals
Ah I see ok
My bad
But why did you round
You should be keeping quite a lot of those decimal places
Good
So you wanted decimals?
Keep those decimals
Yes
Because those decimals make a HUGE difference in the final answer
You now have one point
Isnt this the final answer already?
(4.001, 47.04845)
No
You need the other point
Calculate f(3.999)
Keep decimals
Why?
.
I am supposed to calculate the value on f’(4).
And we already did it with those quoatas
By approximating using a secant line slope with h=0.001
No you havent
If you got 1 then your answer is wrong
Please calculate f(3.999)
i dont understand why
This is how you solve the problem
We are essentially doing the formula without doing the formula
You've made mistakes in between that people are trying to highligjt
i dont understand why we do this central quote thing for then
Because that's literally what the question asks for
It is asking you to do it
We are doing it
so we already did decide f'(4)
No we havent
You don't have the second point yet
How are you going to find the slope without a second point
so central quote doesnt = derivative?
so why isnt it enough?
Why isn't what enough?
we do the central thing when we cant derive, so i did the central thing now so it should be derived
But you did it wrong
So I'm showing you how to better understand it
So we can break it down into more manageable parts
So it is easier to see where your mistake is
okay
I'm literally walking you through this step by step
We are like 70% there
And you seem intent on going back to the formula you dont understand well enough
If you have questions like that, we can go over that afterwards
But I would like to walk through to the solution first
okay
Do you understand that we are looking for two points
And we have to find the slope between them?
sure
What are those two points
4,001 ; 47,04844502
4;47.1
I believe you wanted to use f(x-h) in the formula?
If so, you should use x=3.999 instead of x=4
i dont even know anymore
Yeah
When h is infinitely small
If h is finitely small, then it is only an approximation
You got rid of a lot of the decimals again
Don't do that, use a couple of decimal places
Also I think you computed the slope wrong
Make sure if you do y1-y2 you're not doing x2-x1
You're like so close
All you have to do is punch the correct numbers into the calculator without rounding your decimals
And youve basically got it
Well you're dividing by 0.001
So very small changes in the numerator results in a VERY different final answer
4.001-4 is 0.001
You rounded the hell out of y2
The denominator is fine
That's perfectly accurate
The numerator you rounded y2 like crazy
Keep as many decimals as you can because the result is so sensitive
No it would not work
Since the first y was only 47.1 i thought i should be using only one decimal..
Keep as many decimals as you can
The final answer is VERY sensitive because you are dividing by 0.001
You want to use at least like 4 decimal places
Then i need to start over because i rouded up in the very beggining
Yeah start from beginning then
I am lost
This first point is good
,w 200x/(x^2+1) where x=4
Your second point is not good enough
So i have the 1st point what do i do now?
How do i get the 2nd point again
You need two points
The second point is a different x and y
So your first point here
Is like your x1 and y1
Your second point you would do the exact same thing
Yea and how do we get the other point?
Why 4?
Because that's your second point
Or you could use x=3.999
Now that you have that
Find the slope between the two points
Just as you did before but
Round as little as possible
Do. Not. Round.
Good!
Now compute that and that should be your answer
And if it's not right
It sure as hell is close
i got k=103,7850941
,w 0.01037846/-0.001
How did you get 103
First of all
One too many 0's
You divide 0.001 not 0.0001
Secondly you missed the sign
4-4.001 is -0.001, not positive 0.001
You punched into the calculator incorrectly
4-4,0001 is 0,0001
It should be 4.001
I missed the mistake earlier
That's what we used before
In your problem it says h= 0.001
Ph
But also you missed the negative sign
4-4.001
What is that
Isn't that a smaller number minus a bigger number?
How can that be positive
There you go
Thank you
You have a lot of gaps that need filling
This problem was probably quite frustrating but
Remember to be patient
Make sure you try to understand the how and why more
Don't just think that math is all about plugging and chugging formulas
You won't get very far that way and this will only make the whole process harder for you in the long run
Be patient
Yes that is very hard to do on my own
I have been studying lots at home but i still dont understand anything
And its been 2-3 months by now
Im supposed to take my test soon
Well I would also personally recommend you go back to foundations a little bit when you get the chance
Typically students taking this level of coursework will be very comfortable with a lot of number sense concepts, significant figures, slope, etc
This might be a bit hard for you because it might just be too hard for you
Do what you need to get through the course but consider some remedial classes
There's no shame in it
I did well on my previous test on polynomials and 2nd degree functions and counting rules
I cant take anymore classes
There is only one 2 hour class available per week that i go to
Everything else im supposed to do on my own and finish the course by christmas the entire 4-5 chapters
Im still on chapter 2
And i will have to redo it again
I doubt i will pass tbh
But in the future consider maybe you're taking courses that are less difficult to brush up
After that i wont be able to retake it
Anyways that's my personal recommendation
I dont know
I passed the previous maths course
So i took the next one
There is nothing i can do tbh
The teaches only gives lecture for 2 hours and since im a whole chapter behind i am not getting lectures on chapter 2
Because my whole class is on chapter 3
i am stuck again
what is the function it asks

-
You are rolling 5 dice at once. You need to roll at least 2 fours to win. What is the number of expected trials to win?
-
You are drawing 5 cards from a deck at once. You must have all 5 cards be the same suit to win. What is the number of expected trials to win?
-
You are spinning 9 color wheels at once. The probability of landing on red is 90%, and the probability of landing on blue is 10%. You must get red for the first 5 wheels, get blue the 6th wheel, and get red on the last 3 wheels to win. What is the number of expected trials to win?
So, the part I'm having trouble with is I'm confused by what to use to calculate expected trials.
My answers (probability only)
-
1 - (5/6)^5 - (5/6)^4 * (1/6) * (5C1)
-
(13C5) * (4C1)/(52C5)
-
(9/10)^5 * (1/10) * (9/10)^3
I'm confused with the different kinds of distributions (binomial, geometric, and hypergeometric) and I'm not sure which to use for each of the 3 questions? How to calculate expected trials in each question?
Once you have probability of winning its a “lose/win” setup now with prob p of winning
So bernoulli trials
Sorry, I'm confused. We didn't learn bernoulli trials. I searched it and I'm not sure how it helps me find number of eexpected trials...?
Like 99% sure you did, how else were you introduced to binomial or geometric distribution?
But anyway just means a trial has outcome A with prob p and outcome B with prob (1-p). For example yes-no questions (which is what we have here - did we win on this trial?)
You can derive expected number of trials from this not too hard or look up geometric distribution
Exactly what this models
Well, what I found was that Expected no. of trials is 1/p, so that is what I used for all 3 questions
Just wondering. Are all 3 questions using geometric distribution?
Yes indeed its 1/p
And how do we know that for sure?
Yes
Because bernoulli trials
Hmm, and in a nutshell, you use binomial distribution if you have a fixed number of trials, and you want to know probability of an event happening in n trials?
Binomial is repeated bernoulli trials

I am not sure if this is multiplied correctly using natural logarithms- in addition, not sure what to do next
it is mtiplied correctly
solve for x then u can simplify the solution with log rules
okay lemme see
how do you simplify from here 🤔
3-ln4?
OR
(ln4^3/12)/ln4
I think that makes more sense
you can expand right term again like he did in first

The function is surjective if its range is the same as its codomain. Here the codomain is defined as X. Now check the range of f and see if the values you get all belong to X
so does the range match the codomain?

Co domain is x, and range is x^2
And
the codomain is X, defined as x^2 for all x natural
so in other words, 1, 4, 9....
Mhm
1,4,9
yes
so we can conclude that the range and codomain are exactly the same
hence f is surjective
Oh okay rip
But doesn’t N approaching X mean that
The set of natural numbers is approaching the Relation?
In this case the relation is x squared
:(
Yea sorry
it means the set of natural numbers mapped onto the set X
Mhm
and X is defined as x^2, where x is natural
the domain is just N
It’s defined as the set of natural nos right
Exactly
So shouldn’t it be one one only
yes, we already concluded it is injective (one-one)
just that you had issues figuring out that f is also surjective
Oh waittt
Oh no
I figured out where I was wrong
It’s not
Ugh
Okay sorry
My bad
Thanks

can an exponential function have a negative common ratio?
i know the form that an exponential function takes is a(r^x) but can r be negative?
You mean r^x?
Yes
it won't be well defined for negative r
i don't really get that
You mean the oscillating between negatives and positives? @livid hound
that's what i thought would happen
If x is an integer it would be easier
Otherwise you'll be taking the root of a negative number
i tried inputting it into desmos but it didn't graph it
so it won't be defined for real numbers if x isn't an integer then?
there are some values where it'll still be defined
@lilac bison because it would need two graphs
One of the imaginary part and one of the real part
like if x is an integer?
so it will be real numbers if x is an even and odd integer?
If it's pair it will be positive otherwise negative considering x is an integer

please help
I've been trying to understand from the maths book for about half an hour and my test is tomorrow and it's getting late
I don't understand any of it
Could somebody please tell me how to use graphs to solve linear equations?
I need help ASAP
<@&286206848099549185>
You have to wait at least 15 minutes before pinging helpers
post a specific problem
Man's didn't read #❓how-to-get-help and it couldn't be more obvious
Also, what did you try/get stuck on?
@exotic junco Read #❓how-to-get-help
yes i know what book you are reading
Lmao
idek how to ask
without a specific question,
my response would be to graph the (two) lines and their point of intersection will be the solution
Wait what
those are examples and i dont understand
🤨
what dont you understand about the explanations?
bruh can you just reword it
Nope, what's written is exactly how I'd explain it
The explanation is clear
ok
wait nevermind
i think i just didnt read right/skipped over it
you can now close this chat
It's your channel..

In Minecraft, you can barter with Piglins to receive different items. These items have different probabilities of occurring with the important item for speedrunners being Ender Pearls with approximately an 2.18% chance of being dropped per trade. You make 3 trades in a row.
⦁ What is the probability getting Ender Pearls all three times? (2 marks)

hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what divergence test to use here, could I please have some assistance?
I checked it through a calculator and it technically equals to 0, but I'm not too sure how to manipulate the equation to get there
Even with the 1/n portion?
Oh wait ((-1)^n-1)/n=(-1)^n-1/n
Compute first few terms
Then rewrite the series when you notice a pattern
kk let me take a look
my apologies friend I'm not seeing how I can algebraically manipulate it beyond
oh ok I see, let me crunch those out
oh I see the pattern, it's every even number is 0, every odd -2/n
oh is this a telescoping series?
Yes indeed
No
So if you define a new sequence which for n=1 takes n=1 of old sequence, n=2 takes n=3 of old sequence…
And so on (so a sequence of the odd terms in our old sequence)
Then sum from n=1 to 2k of old sequence is equal to n=1 to k of our new sequence, agree?
Ye but kinda annoying you only sum over odd integers now right?
yes
hmm
$\sum_{n=1}^{2k} \frac{(-1)^n-1}{n}=\sum_{n=1}^{k}-\frac{2}{2n-1}$
ScapeProf
oh 
For the inf series take lim k->inf on both sides
And now you have a series you can deal with right?
interesting way of dealing with the series, never seen that in class before
well the right equation diverges, which means that since it's equal to the left it must also diverge, no?

lets say you have a 1m path. if you go half of it every single time, would you reach the end? u go 1/2 of that path then another half which means 1/4 then another path thats is 1/8 and goes on. would you reach end? im curious of this question for a while and like to see u think
you would never reach the end in a finite ammount of time, but you are getting arbitrarily close to it
hm
wait
zeno think was that i was thinking
i didnt know that lol
anyway thx

f(x)=4x-3x^2 i tried deriving 4 times and failed
@sand kayak Has your question been resolved?
by deriving, do you mean finding the derivatives?
if so, look up "sum rule for derivatives" and "power rule"

For a, I got $y(t)=C_1e^{3t}+C_2\cos(t)+C_3\sin(t)$, however b we were never really taught (This is from an old exam) and just want to check if I'm correct.
$y_(t):=y(t)\implies \abs{y_(0)}=\abs{C_1+C_2}$
$\forall\delta >0, \exists C_1,C_2\in\mathbb{R}$ st $\abs{C_1+C_2}<\delta$
$\lim_{t\to\infty}y_*(t)=\infty$
Therefore $y(t)=0$ is not asym. stable
Mosh
is that a valid proof for b?
and existence of C_1 and C_2 is given since C_2:=delta-C_1-epsilon for small eps

I'm supossed to find the scalar equations of 3 planes in 3D space given that they intersect at point (6, 5, -6) and that plane 1 and plane 2 are perpindicular and plane 1 and plane 3 form an angle of 30 degree
I have no idea how to solve this question as there are 3 variables I'm supossed to solve for when I use dot product
I have two equations that intersect at (6, 5, -6)
x + y + z - 5 = 0 2x + 3y - 5z - 57 = 0
But I can't find a third due to what I mentioned above

Hello, is ASA postutate a valid answer here?not just AAS
well
you can point out that ABC = DEC and then use ASA
but that would just require extra steps
AAS would be better
Sighed... the answer key only accepts AAS,but not ASA...I just find it irritating
They are both the same answers anyway
But they only accepts aas
you'd need an extra step to justify it with ASA
normally, the answer would be the postulate that you can use to prove that the triangles are congruent in the fewest amount of steps
in this case, it's AAS
(also, here in my country, AAS isn't even a postulate)
