quick explanation question, where in the hell did the "10h" come from in line 3. This is in my explanation video and I can't work out where they got that
https://i.imgur.com/dGdFxru.png
You get it from expanding the (5+h)^2
If you foil (5+h) times (5+h) you'll get 25 +5h+5h+h^2
Then when you combine like terms you'll end up with 25+10h+h^2
$$ (a + b )^2= a^2 + b^2 + 2ab$$

after solving quadratic inequality and i have 2 x values how do i find wether they are > or < the x value ?
well i made it a quadratic and solved for 2 x values
you did it wrong
it’s linear
the solution also makes it a quadratic giving 2 x values i just want to know how to plot them < or >
this is NOT quadratic
you multiple both sides by the bottom squared?
why
just the bottom is enough
(2x + 10)/(x + 3) = 2 + 4/(x + 3)
4/(x + 3) ≥ -1
x + 3 ≤ -4
i would do it like this
ok well im following my book and they do it differently..
i just want to know how to put x values > or < to the numbers i get
what do you get again, 2 (x + 5) (x + 3) ≥ (x + 3)²?
i get what i posted its just the last part
yes
also forget this it’s somehow wrong lol
x² + 10x + 21 is U shaped right
so the roots are at -7, -3
right
ie its shape dives below x axis at -7, then comes back up at -3
since the leading coefficient is positive
then this follows
but how do i know x > -3 and x <= -7
do you understand this
yes i know what it looks like
looks like this right
yep
which is x ≤ -7 and x ≥ -3
its > -3
yea

so you know the equation of the line ?
parralel lines have the same slope so m = 1/2
and the y intercept = -5 as given in the question
You're not allowed to get help on tests

it says its the highest of the degrees. Then it says the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents.. Does this mean it’s a term and not a polynomial??
$$f(x, y, z) = x^2yz^3+xy+xy^5z$$
Shuri2060
The degree of the 3 terms here is
2+1+3 = 6
1+1 =2
1+5+1 = 7
so the polynomial is degree 7
So that means this is a single term
no.
Each term
if you take 1 term
there is no addition or subtraction inside
(x + 1)(x - 2)
To find the terms in this
you must multiply out
x^2 - x - 2
Now these are the terms. x^2, -x, -2
x+1, x-2 is not a term.
============
They did 2 + 1 = 3 because they just look at what will be the highest exponent after multiplying out. It will be x^2 times x
So the term will be x^(2 + 1)
How do you multiply that out
So I’m guessing x^2 becomes (x - 0)
(x - 0) (x - 2)
or x^2 (x - 2)

I know for a fact that this derivative is wrong (at least according to a derivative calculator), but I'm also unsure what I could be doing differently
Could anyone point out what I'm missing?
honestly i don't follow your work
How so?
Where doesn't it make sense?
everything after the first line makes no sense
did you draw that with a trackpad
plagued with algebraic errors and improper application of derivative laws
firstly the derivative of a product isn't the same as the product of the derivatives
OH that's a dash
Optimization problem (the reason I used l instead of x)
$(fg)' \neq f'g'$
I kept thinking why is there ^ 1 everywhere
ℝamonov
I was under the impression it was, thank you for letting me know
and even in applying the improper rule there, you still messed up the algebra
this is kinda crazy
You don't need the quotient rule.
you also unnecessarily went complete overkill and applied quotient rule where it wasn't needed
you should first consider looking up the product rule
$$(uv)' = u'v + uv'$$
Shuri2060
and then constant factor rule as that will save you a lot of work
I could be wrong, but I think not recognizing I could use the product rule is what screwed me up (outside of errors but they were in stuff that was already wrong)
Thank you for bringing this up, I'm going to apply the product rule and see where I can get
I was under the impression it was,
every expression can be expressed as a product of 1 and itself
if that were true, you're implying that the derivative of pretty much anything is 0

how i find the h if i have the radius and the volume ?
same process as the question I answered for you before
find the formula for the volume and solve for h
for the volume is ACircle * height
Luca
yes
so how would you single out h?
( 2V ) / ( b* h ) ?
nono, the 2 in the previous example came from the 1/2
we multiplied both sides by 2
in this case you need to get rid of A_circle on the right side
so what action do you need to take on both sides
i don't know :x
what happens if you divide both sides with A_circle
the equation stays true as long as you do the exact same thing to both sides
i don't know 
h ?
$\frac{V}{A_{\text{circle}} = \frac{\cancel{A_{\text{circle}}}\cdot h}{\cancel{A_{\text{circle}}}$
rip
Luca
$\frac{V}{A_{\text{circle}} = \frac{\cancel{A_{\text{circle}}}\cdot h}{\cancel{A_{\text{circle}}}$

$\frac{V}{A{\text{circle}}} =$
Luca
=h
$\frac{V}{A{\text{circle}}} = \frac{\cancel{A{\text{circle}}}\cdot h}{\cancel{A_{\text{circle}}}}=h$
ha
there we go
you understand?
yes
Luca
does this answer you question
and if i want find the Acircle i do V / h ?
what is the formula for A_circle?
r*r *pi
so $A_{\text{circle}}=r^2\pi$
Luca
but how to find r ?
find the Acircle ?
so whats bothering you on the right side is pi right
because you want to single out r
yes
so how do you get rid of pi on the right side?
Acircle / pi ?
okay nice
Luca
yes
but now you have r^2 and not r
so we need to take another step
whats the inverse action of squaring a number?
√ r*r ?
yes
okaay good
$\sqrt{\frac{A_{\text{circle}}}{\pi}}=r$
i understand
Luca
okay thx you 
no problem!

In the problems below, determine how many complex zeros the functions have.
$f(x) = x^{7}-6x^{5}+3$
$g(x) = x^{2}(x^{2}+4x+1)(x-3)^{4}$
I said 7 complex 0s for the first equation, and 8 for the second. But my teacher says there are 0 complex 0s for the second equation, which puzzles me. That isn't even possible, because real zeros are also classified as complex zeros, right?
$f(x) = x^{7}-6x^{5}+3$
Stack Of Doggos
$g(x) = x^{2}(x^{2}+4x+1)(x-3)^{4}$
Stack Of Doggos
oh also here's justification for my response, a polynomial with n degree will have n roots
For the first function you will defenitly have 7 "0s" but they do not have to lay in the complex plain. they are only complex "0s" if you have f(x)=0 with x beeing a negative root.
are real numbers not also complex?
Interesting, how would you find the number of complex zeros in the first question? (the second one is easy, just split up the equation, etc.)
I mean the real numbers are a part of the complex numbers. But that does not mean that every complex number is also a real number. I mean not every rational number is a integer number.
.
polynomial divison
by what
You first have to find one "0s", by guessing and then use this "0" for the divison. There is no other way.
interesting, I'll check the answer key
yep it says 7 complex zeros
because all real zeros are also complex with imaginary part 0
after u respond ill just close the channel
thx!

just the slope between the 2 points?
(4 - 1) / (5 - 2)

it's the magnitude of the vector

Can someone explain the question for me, I'm having difficulty understanding it
this is what I understand
that there is a veector from 3,0 to 0,2
shift that vector down by 2 units
why?
then find the angle it makes with the x axis (or the vector [1, 0])
because that positions it at the origin
it's the same vector in a different position
yes
keep in mind that vectors are magnitudes and directions, not immediately tied to a position. so although we're shifting the vector down, it's magnitude and direction are the same
not the yellow area
the yellow angle
under the x axis
ok i understand the question now
because I have trouble visualizing it
So the magnitude of the x component would be 3
and the magnitude of the y component would be 2
I would use tan(theta) = 2/3
and then the angle would be equal to arctan(2/3)
Which I got 33.6900675
degrees
the measure of the angle is that, but they probably want the answer as a negative number
since it's going down from the x-axis
or clockwise
so i should assume this is based on rotational axis thing?
so it would be arctan(-2/3)
what defines a vector is magnitude and orientation. Not position.
it says same direction as
a vector that joins x and y intercepts
tail at x
so it's towards (0,0) right
yes, but relocate the vector so the tail is at the origin
why is the tail at the origin?
so then we can more easily compute the angle between the vector and the x-axis
so it does not matter if I flip the vector
it does matter
before we got 33.69 as the answer, but now we're going to get something different
How come?
wouldn't it be the same as before finding the angle between the x axis and the angle?
Oh
the blue angle and the red angle are different
you mean to shift the vector up
put the tail at the origin
yeah
yes
which you can find exactly like you did with the blue angle
but you'll have different y and x values
so what would the angle be?
-33.6900675
and then I can do
180 -33.6900675
no
which is 146.309933
-33 was for arctan(-2/3)
oh sorry yes
i did arctan(3/2) my bad
the angle looks good

Hi. I'm looking for an online tool that'll help me solve:
16a+12b+7c+4d+3e <= 51, where the sum of the variables add up to 6 (in whole numbers)
I'm going to try to get results for different sums too, so I don't need answers done here. Just a tip on where I can generate my own.
Pretty basic, I know. But I'm trying to work out an efficiency issue and I've been out of touch with math tools for a few years. Thanks very much.
To solve for n variables you will typically need n equations
So 5 variables, 5 equations
One answer for instance is 16(0) + 12(3) + 7(1) + 4(1) + 3(1) = 50
Any of the variables can equal 0, I'm just looking for the most efficient ways to get close to 51
I know I'm missing something in the way of understanding. I'm just really rusty with this
Is there a practical application for this?
Like would one variable be more efficient than the next
I'm generally interested in sums that add up to 49, 50, or 51

how the hell.
here on the example, the standard form was (x-3)^2+(y+5)^2. then it turned into a general form, (x^2-6x+9+y^2+10y+25=25
how
like how
standard form into the general form
looks like just some algebra
distribution and grouping
are you confused about any particular piece?
@austere maple Has your question been resolved?
yes
i dont get it
from standard to general form
why did my standard form turned into a complicated solving into general form.
since standard form is nicer written here
its nice squares
less terms
theres no real magic to it, its just algebra to move between one or the other
sometimes general will be messy sometimes not
im not sure what you mean by standard and general form but based on what you said im assuming general form is expanded and doesn't need brackets/parantheses and standard form is the shorter version is that right

And I need to use AM-GM some way
i dont know where to start
I did get that if you expand the right out completely and use am-gm, you get $$a^2+b^2+c^2+\frac{2a}{b}+\frac{2b}{c}+\frac{2c}{a}+\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{c^2} \geq 9\sqrt[3]{2}$$

@crude garnet Has your question been resolved?
are you required to use AM-GM?
@crude garnet Has your question been resolved?
yeah it is what we are studying, but i dont have to use it where i used it
most likely i have to make some new variable but idk where to go
you can give me a hint without it and itll be fine its just if i can I want to
oh i asked because this is a pretty famous problem and i dont believe the solution uses AM-GM
try thinking cauchy-schwarz
@crude garnet Has your question been resolved?
ok
I hate these lol
$$\frac{x+y+z}{3} \geq \left(xyz\right)^\frac{1}{3}$$
that's the AM GM that's probably relevant right?
Shuri2060
I will attempt in #latex-testing

ho
is this

just play around with trig identities
thats what these questions test
anyways, confused
(sin + cos) / sin = cos / 2sin
this aint true
oh wait is that cot (x/2)
???
=.......=
t formula should kill it
Shuri2060
Is it this???
1 + cos is together
Shuri2060
which one
dont ask which one
you need to try and see
in an exam they aint gonna tell u which to use, u gotta try
i got a test on this but its open book LOL
if u have/know your half angle formulas, u can use it
We didnt learn half angle
But if not, first thing I'd try is double angle on cos and sin
cus thats the most logical to get x/2 ?
fair
$$\frac{1+\cos^2\frac{x}{2} - \sin^2\frac{x}{2}}{2\cos \frac{x}{2}\sin \frac{x}{2}} = \cot\frac{x}{2}$$
like idk, this is the first thing id try
and see if i can make the 2 sides meet
wha
Shuri2060
all ive done is apply 2 double angle formulae
how did u do that to sin
but the bottom was just sin?
sin x
but i thought it had to be sin2s
sin x = sin2(x/2)
sin2x
??
im literally just substituting
x/2
into the formula
if i dont do this
how am i gonna get angles of x/2 on the left hand side
You don't substitute when proving trig equations
im just showing what i would try to do
which is make both sides meet
and then write a forwards proof
?
My first step, is split the fraction
everyone has their own approach 🤷♂️
im sorry im just really bad
Your approach is confusing
$$\frac{1+\cos x}{\sin x}=\frac{1+\cos^2\frac{x}{2} - \sin^2\frac{x}{2}}{2\cos \frac{x}{2}\sin \frac{x}{2}}$$
i learned this 3 days ago
Shuri2060
and im trying hard
This is what I would do
what is your 1st step?
Split the fraction
And 1/sinx = cscx
that helps?
im so confused
im pretty sure this is the way
Do you get what I've done here?
$$\frac{1+\cos x}{\sin x}=\frac{1+\cos\left(2\frac{x}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(2\frac{x}{2}\right)}=\frac{1+\cos^2\frac{x}{2} - \sin^2\frac{x}{2}}{2\cos \frac{x}{2}\sin \frac{x}{2}}$$
Shuri2060
why can you use the double angle on sinx
i thought it had to be sin2x
thats why im confused
Shuri2060
You realise I can substitute anything for a here
and it holds true?
$$\sin 2a\equiv 2\sin a\cos a$$
Shuri2060
I should write equivalence, since its an identity
it holds no matter your choice of a
So i will write a = x/2
?
$$\sin x\equiv 2\sin \frac{x}{2}\cos \frac{x}{2}$$
Shuri2060
They're doing a substitution where u = x/2 so x = 2u making sin(2u)
Shuri2060
it doesn't matter what I put
but how do u know you can do this
is it cause of the cotx/2
in the identity
'a' is literally any number
WHY I'm doing it
is because cot(x/2)
its impossible for me to get an angle
of x/2
unless I do something like this
but its missing the 2
As I said, substitution
How do you propose to get x/2 in the final answer?
^ you can call 'a' ANYTHING
in here
and this identity is true
because its an identity
$$\sin 2(123213213)=2\sin (123213213)\cos (123213213)$$
Shuri2060
This is true
So I just put 'x / 2'
in there
that is just another number/expression
You can do anything in math, if it still results in true. Like I can say 1 + 2 = 3 and say a = 1 which then says a + 2 = 3.
Probably not the greatest example, but it should help you understand
Try it yourself. Set a = x/2. What is the resulting identity
by the way this is not the way
like dldh06 said, you wanna let u = x/2 and then expand the sin/cos double angles.
then it is pretty straightfoward from there
isnt that what I did?
im just not bothering to write u = x/2
can you show me splitting the frac
Shuri2060
I am now going to call a
as x/2 now
so a = x/2
$$\sin \left(2\frac{x}{2}\right)\equiv 2\sin \frac{x}{2}\cos \frac{x}{2}$$
Do what shuri is showing
Shuri2060
Now I have a new identity
and the left
simplifies to sin x
$$\sin x\equiv 2\sin \frac{x}{2}\cos \frac{x}{2}$$
Shuri2060
if this is all confusing. You can also write u = x/2
from the very start
so x = 2u
$$\frac{1+\cos x}{\sin x} = \cot\frac{x}{2}$$
Shuri2060
This is your original problem
x = 2u
so now
$$\frac{1+\cos 2u}{\sin 2u} = \cot u$$
Shuri2060
It doesn't rlly matter which you do, both are the same idea.
👌
This looks cleaner
Then this
im trying to figure out how to simplify
yh i guess lol. I just have habit of never subbing unless i rlly need to
Take their tip of writing u = x/2 for cleaner algebra
🙂
I have the habit of not rounding. I use like 5 decimals places. Calculators, all the decimals. I sub to make life easier
less writing = better
that's my moral lol
for me it sometimes obfuscates the problem
wouldn't subbing make it simpler?
but if u have $\sin(x+2+x^2+x^10+\frac{y}{3})$
Shuri2060
then sure, sub and save writing
idk does it D:
$x^{10}$?
dldh06
yh
well when does it make it harder
i guess is a better question
idk when i do reverse differentiation
for integration
like f'(x)/f(x)
i dont sub
I see that derivative and rearrange towards it
that still fits the moral tho
less writing = better
once u hav the integral in a form you already know you don't have to write anything more
u have to sub in, then sub out
Well kinda same here I guess?
I dont wanna bother subbing in and out
nah you have
for an x/2
$\int \frac{1}{f(x)} df(x)$
Yottachad
I'm not necessarily saying its already in the right form
,w (1+cos(x))/sin(x) = cot(x/2)
it was an identity the whole time!
to 'show' the identity
then we can say we r done
but you could make all previous steps shorter by just letting u = x/2
(writing wise)
Shuri2060
Like for this, are you going to sub u = x^3?
I wouldnt
Or for differentiation with the chain rule, I don't bother subbing u = ???
So I guess this is where that habit comes from
I mean no because x^2/x^3 = 1/x
Shuri2060
fixed? better example
Not really, because I would factor then PFD(partial fractions)
ok, but the top is a multiple of the derivative of the bottom
Not really, because dy/dx x^3 + 3x = 3x^2 + 3. It's a fractional multiple, if that's what you meant

in the illustration above given:
AC = BD AD = BC
(the angles and the coloring done by me)
prove:
$$\angle A = \angle B$$
eitiel
there is also advice saying I should try connect the segment DC but I cant see it helps me
I thought if I could somehow prove
$$ AC-EC = BD-ED \Rightarrow AE =BE $$
eitiel
then I'll have two edges and the angle between them and It's done
but E is not known to lie on AB, and it certainly does not appear that it does in your diagram.
but they say according to the illustration and according to that there has to be an intersect between BD and AC
I just sign it as point E
@tropic oxide
this is news to anyone other than you.
what do you mean?
you didn't say until now that E is supposed to be the intersection of BD and AC
I know last time I shorted the translation and it make problems so this time that the most exact translation I had no data left
it does because it's according to the illustration
no
your illustration shows clearly that E does not lie on AC
AE and EC as you drew them are not part of the same straight line
and no, the equal angles you marked are not sufficient to rectify that.
IF your diagram is indeed as poorly made as i think it is, and E is indeed the intersection of AC and BD, then this line of reasoning will hold.
yeah well my illustratrion made by Geogebra so I could copy and add coloring all this stuff so it my be a little crooked but on the book it does
well this is accurate yes
so
can I somehow prove that?
or maybe use that
@tropic oxide
you can prove triangles ADC and BCD are congruent
since you have three pairs of matching sides between them
AC=BD, AD=BC, DC=DC

how there could be two values I didn't understand
because there is a square in the formula I get it there has to be two values
but when I tried it the result happened to be wrong
You should pick the positive value since distance is defined to be positive
but in the answers there two positive answers
I didn't understood how I could get the answers
Then there are two solutions for AC, you can imagine one acute triangle with the same AB = 4, BC = 3 and BAC = pi/9 and then obtuse triangle with the same properties, clearly AC has different values in both of them
Here we can start out by applying the law of cosines
BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2 - 2AB*ACcos(BAC)
3^2 = 4^2 + AC^2 - 8ACcos(pi/9)
AC^2 - 8ACcos(pi/9) + 7 = 0
So we have a quadratic equation in terms of AC
Which should be easy to solve

BC = 2i +4j -4k
cos(Θ) = (a.b)/(|a||b|)
cos(Θ) = (-10)/(6 sqrt[3])
Θ= 164.2

prove that all the possible $x_n$ is a natural number in the sequence $x_{n+1}=5x_n+\sqrt{24x^2_n+1}$ such that $x_1=0$
can I get a hint?
"all the possible x_n"?
is this a mistranslation or does the problem actually state exactly that
it is a mistranslation, the question meant all the possible x_i from the sequence, for the exampe x_6 x_15 x_25 etc
my fault, sorry
so to say it without the odd phrasing
you have a sequence defined by $x_1 = 0$ and $x_{n+1} = 5x_n + \sqrt{24x_n^2 + 1}$ and you are asked to prove that this sequence consists entirely of integers.
Ann
yes
have you made any progress on this?
no, I don't have any idea to solve that problem
so you have not even done any calculations of the first few terms or anything like that?
ofc I did these
and what did you get?
0,1,10 etc
yes
okay
my intuition says that instead of proving that x_n ∈ N, we should be trying to prove that all terms of our sequence satisfy some stronger property than merely being natural
namely i think we might need to prove that $x_n \in S$, where $$S = { n \in \bN \mid 5n + \sqrt{24n^2 + 1} \in \bN}$$
maybe?
Ann
so I have to prove 24n^2+1 is a perfect square?
,calc 24*2^2 + 1
Result:
97
it's not always a perfect square that's the thing
can you explain more please
you cannot prove 24n^2 + 1 is a perfect square for all n, because it's not true.
I got that part, I am confused how I can prove your statement
sure
Please can someone help me with this
Prove that log a − log b depends solely on the ratio a/b. Hence give an interpretation of logarithmic graph paper; that is where the plot is f(x) against x on a log scale.

hia
so
how do i find the lengths of the opposite and adjacent in a right angled triangle
the querstion is: " A square has diagonals ofg length 10cm. Find the sides of the sqaure
well yes
Bisecting it makes it 45°
yep
So the half triangle is an isosceles triangle
Hence the two sides opposite to equal angles are equal
it would yes
Then just use Pythagoras theorem
U know remaining two sides are equal
U know they are perpendicular
but you only have the angle wich is 45° and the hyp's length 910)
