fallen heath
#

try to find questions which pique your basics

gentle lintel
fallen heath
#

I'm not the best person to ask that Q

#

I found sufficient matter for practice/discussion provided to me during my calc. course

#

maybe look out for books?

jaunty mural
#

standard level ๐Ÿ‘€

gentle lintel
#

can't find advanced ones

jaunty mural
#

The further math calculus isnt very hard, no, unlike what ansh is feeding you

gentle lintel
#

without getting redirected to shady or quetionable websites

jaunty mural
#

yh sure rip

#

i havent saved any resources myself so cant do much

#

Maybe you could look at past STEP questions?

#

They are of decent difficulty and are available free online from legit source

jaunty mural
#

slightly easier than 1st yr uni

#

but harder than high school

gentle lintel
jaunty mural
#

in looking rn

#

yh either

gentle lintel
#

going to uk 3 weeks later uwu

jaunty mural
#

i cant remember where all the step papers are

#

possibly their official website

jaunty mural
#

ur feeding good Qs

#

nothing.

#

Its just u wont find this sht at hs lvl lol

#

their official website has all the pasts on it

fallen heath
#

this was my module for hs calc tho, meant for prepping for an entrance exam

#

and right. this isn't what you need either! All you need are questions that shape your insights in calc

gentle lintel
#

i'll just try MAT lol

#

fits my situation better

jaunty mural
#

Well maybe chrom needs like a proof writing kinda course

#

idk

#

for analysis at least

fallen heath
#

Yeahhh Chromium

#

If you're interested in starting Analysis

gentle lintel
#

oh so i should start analysis?

fallen heath
#

Just do it nowww

#

Lol

#

Sure you can

gentle lintel
#

(should i start la -> anal -> mutivar)

jaunty mural
#

yh and just make sure u can do highschool/early uni level calculus stuff

fallen heath
jaunty mural
#

lag and analysis can be taken together

fallen heath
#

save multivar for 6 months later

gentle lintel
#

yea i'll be patient

fallen heath
#

after you're done with analysis(single variable limit, continuity, differentiability, inf/sup stuff) and Linear Algebra

#

me happy cuz analysis beginning is just calc revisited but more formal ๐Ÿ’€

jaunty mural
#

For now tho, try do the calculus Qs in step II and III

#

if you can do most of them, ur definitely ready to move on from this stuff

fallen heath
#

Yeah if I'm paid I'm willing to share some stuff ๐Ÿ‘€ (lol)

jaunty mural
#

step III has hyperbolic trig functions, either learn them (takes little time, u just need defns) or skip those

gentle lintel
#

oh so step goes from I to III?

#

III is hardest?

jaunty mural
#

I is easy

fallen heath
#

For example: the right sub to do here would've been $$x = \alpha \cos^2 \theta + \beta \sin^2 \theta$$

wraith daggerBOT
jaunty mural
#

II and III are hard

gentle lintel
fallen heath
#

where alpha = 3, beta = 2

jaunty mural
#

man i wouldnt have known this ansh lmao

#

probably wouldve taken me a while to try that one

#

thats a nice Q

fallen heath
#

or more generally for situations like: $$\int \sqrt{\frac{x - \alpha}{\beta - x}} \dd{x}$$ or $$\int \sqrt{(x - \alpha)(\beta - x)} \dd{x}$$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

you just sub this and get away with it ๐Ÿ˜ถ

#

๐Ÿ‘€

#

welp, I can share some of these everyday but it feels like too heavy a responsibility guiding someone step by step ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

so at most, I can only suggest some pointers. As to how to enhance your abilities, it's on you

jaunty mural
#

ping me when u do

#

I never rlly got much better than standard stuff

fallen heath
#

well conclusion of the discussion:

-> feel free to start with Analysis n Linear Alg. (if you're not going for a hs exam anytime soon or idk how self-tutoring works)

-> meanwhile, deal with couple calc questions everyday. A book specifically meant for calculus practice would be nice

#

I have a "Textbook for calculus" by K.C. Sinha and it's a hugeee book but hugeee => manyyyy practice problems so it's fun

fallen heath
#

This book is strictly for practice purposes though lol

fallen heath
#

btw also, it'd be nice not to skip parts which you feel are a bit physics intended cuz it might as well just be a couple mathematical function definition preset upon well defined variables

gentle lintel
#

hm so

#

what problems should i try

fallen heath
#

@jaunty mural >_< the game we played lol

jaunty mural
#

hi hi

#

If I'm not mistaken

#

well hmmm

#

idk, I feel like you can guess the correct delta using the 1st order taylor expansion...

#

Maybe not quite......... only when epsilon is small enough

#

hmmmmmmmm

I cant see to figure out how to determine a_n and b_n from the given Fourier series. I found that a_0 = 89.6

dense wing
#

I mean n=4 to n=100 is trivial

fresh geyser
#

mash potato

#

s

narrow gull
#

huh?

dense wing
# narrow gull huh?

finding a_n and/or b_n is just a case of looking at the n values and comparing the coefficients

#

for example if you have 52.5cos(x), that's a term when n=1, so a_1=52.5

narrow gull
#

I see

#

but what if I wanted to find erm smtg else

#

like a_7 or a_50

#

do I start with a_n? or straight from a_1

dense wing
#

you can't really do a_n as an explicit rule

#

you have to compare when n=stuff

narrow gull
#

I dont get what you mean by n=stuff

i thought it would be B because on the unit circle, 1 is the maximum value. but yeah tan acts differently compared to sin/cos in that retrospect... i was just wondering if there was a good way to figure this out?

I need help with how to go about solving a certain type of differential equation. I know how to solve a directly integrable, separable, and linear first order ODE but I've been presented with an equation of a similar form to dy/dx=2y^{1/2} as far as I can see, this isn't any of the forms I previously mentioned. If it is, please tell me which type so I know roughly how to proceed

wraith daggerBOT
#
$\dv{y}{x} = 2y^{\frac{1}{2}}$
fallen heath
#

Does this not look like a separable ODE?

feral haven
#

I mean I guess so. It's thrown me because there's no function of x

#

(explicitly involving x)

fallen heath
#

don't worry. it's fine

#

you could just pull over the 2โˆšy to the left

feral haven
#

so separate by dividing by root(y)

fallen heath
#

and notice [โˆšy]' = 1/2โˆšy

feral haven
#

okay got it, I'll figure it out from there, thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

Consider functions f:{1,2,3,4,5}โ†’{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}.
How many functions are there total?
100000
How many functions are injective?
30240
How many of the injective functions are increasing? To be increasing means that if a<b then f(a)<f(b), or in other words, the outputs get larger as the inputs get larger.

``` I was able to find the first to questions relatively easy but i dont know how to get specifically the number of increasing injective functions

fallen heath
#

hmm

fallen heath
forest dust
fallen heath
#

You do though-

#

I mean, the domain consists of 5 values so

#

the range should be 5 for injective as well right?

Create a fractions question that includes the following elements:

  • involves exactly four proper fractions in the question
  • involves exactly two integers in the question
  • involves at least one step that requires cancelling
  • involves at least one step that requires a common denominator
  • involves an answer that is a negative mixed fraction

I asked before and I didn't get an answer, so I'll ask again: I need to determine the "trigonometric functions of an angle." (NOTE: This is a right triangle.) One of those angles is 90 degrees. Can I just pull those from a table? Ie, the sin of a 90 degree angle is ALWAYS 1?

bold vine
#

sin(90ยฐ) = 1. Yes

crimson sedge
gaunt hamlet
#

The sin of any angle never changes. sin(30) is always the same. cos(163) is always the same.

crimson sedge
#

But for an angle of 22.33 degrees, I do need to calculate it the "traditional" way. Makes sense.

gaunt hamlet
#

You have to calculate every angle. It's just that some angles have nice answers

crimson sedge
#

Well, that's all! Thank you for replying.

where did the numerator 5+2 come from

hoary notch

$$a^x * a^y = a^{x+y}$$

wraith daggerBOT

So you're finding 1/2 + 1/5

toxic garden
#

ye

hoary notch
#

Do you know how to add fractions?

toxic garden
#

uhhh yea

hoary notch
#

So then what is 1/2 + 1/5?

toxic garden
#

7/10?

hoary notch
#

List out your steps

toxic garden
#

uhh

#

I totally did not use a calculator

hoary notch
#

Well do you know how to add fractions by hand? Set a common denominator and add the numerators?

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{13}{23}+\frac{12}{32}$$

how is this true ?

humble moss
#

limitssss

formal nest
#

it becomes inf -inf

#

so :/

humble moss
#

its gonna become 1/2 - inf + inf - inf + inf

formal nest
#

yhea

humble moss
#

the -inf + inf -inf .... is gonna = 0

formal nest
#

how do you know

humble moss
#
  • inf + inf = 0
formal nest
#

no

humble moss
#

keep doing that infinite times

formal nest
#

thats not true

humble moss
#

how?

formal nest
#

well its kinda true but thats unsure'

humble moss
#

that like saying -100000 +100000 = 0

formal nest
#

no

#

inf is not a value

humble moss
#

from what i learned n calc

#

whenever we had 1/inf we considered it as 0

formal nest
#

thats not my case

humble moss
#

or we learned it as 1 over some really big number

#

which is considered 0

formal nest
#

mine is inf/number

humble moss
#

same as inf / whatever number

#

some really big number over 10 = infinity

formal nest
#

my exam is thursday

#

im gonna fail

humble moss
#

essentially that equation is saying the limit as x -> inf is = 1/2

#

because its 1/2 -inf + inf ....

#

everything to the right of the 1/2 is gonna equal 0

#

to in reality its just 1/2 - 0

formal nest
#

usually when you have inf - inf you have to modify the equation to not get inf- inf

humble moss
#

inf - inf = -inf + inf

#

you are just moving the -inf to be first instead of 2nd

formal nest
humble moss
#

inf - inf is same as -inf + inf

formal nest
#

ok ?

humble moss
#

its like 1-1 = -1 + 1

#

which is why that whole right section is gonna become 0

#

doing it your way you can rearrange it so its lim x-> inf (1/2 - 1/4x^2 - 1/3x - 1/6x^4-1/5x^3...)

formal nest
#

what youre saying is that this should equal 0

#

but its not

#

and lim x-->inf of x/2 = inf not 0

#

<@&286206848099549185>

humble moss
# formal nest

that for the steps they show some weird thing i never learned

#

never learned to factor out the x

formal nest
#

in what grade are you in ?

humble moss
#

12

alr

Is that the limit?

humble moss
#

^

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath

well, this works now ( T_T)๏ผผ(^-^ )

humble moss
#

what is that emoji suppose to mean

fallen heath

$= \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^2} \qty(\frac{1}{2}x^2 - \frac{1}{3}x^3 + \frac{1}{4}x^4 - \frac{1}{5}x^5 + \ldots)$

wraith daggerBOT
formal nest
#

o.O

humble moss
#

so its gonna = 0?

#

since 1/x^2 = 0

fallen heath
#

$= \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^2} \qty(e^{-x} - 1 + x)$

wraith daggerBOT
formal nest
#

what

humble moss
#

how you get e^-x?

formal nest
#

how did you find the series

fallen heath

btw ๐Ÿ‘€ I'm not sure your limit really works or evaluates to 1/2

fallen heath

timestamp?

formal nest

the end

its a 2 min video

Nvm she made a mistake

please spare her (ใƒ˜๏ฝฅ_๏ฝฅ)ใƒ˜โ”ณโ”โ”ณ

formal nest
#

are you sure ?

fallen heath
#

that was a lim (x approaches 0)

#

Yeah

formal nest
#

omg

#

omg

#

all of this

#

for a stupid mistake

#

in all the videos ive wachted of her SHE ALWAYS makes a mistake

fallen heath
#

,w lim (e^(-x) - 1 + x)/x^2 as x approaches infty

formal nest
#

thanks Ansh youre the best

fallen heath
#

btw

formal nest
#

ye ?

fallen heath
#

Did you notice the small tab she opened in the top right corner?

formal nest
#

yhea

fallen heath
#

it had something written like "Taylor Series"

formal nest
#

yhea..

fallen heath
#

That's where the series was written

#

e^x = 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/3 + ...

formal nest

use integration by parts and proceed

#

it would be longer but it shld work

placid tree
gaunt hamlet
#

Just use the first part of FTC

#

For 7

placid tree
gaunt hamlet
#

It might actually be better to use the second part since the top bound isn't just x

#

We want the derivative of that integral

placid tree
#

yeah so

#

heres what i have rn

That's correct

why is $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$?

wraith daggerBOT
#

Chromium

gentle lintel
#

the $dt$'s don't cancel i suppose

wraith daggerBOT

Chromium

fallen heath

cancel all the D's and the T's and you have y/x = y/x is why :o

da heck

gentle lintel
#

how to parameterise this. thinkies

fallen heath
#

it's a parabola >_<

gentle lintel
#

x = t, y = tยฒ + 2 ig

fallen heath
#

mhmm

gentle lintel
#

then dy/dx = 2t? bleak

fallen heath
#

= 2x = dy/dx

gentle lintel
#

holy

@jajdjsjjdjkdkdncndkd

fallen heath
#

lmfao @ helpers ghost ping by chromium

gentle lintel

@gentle lintel

gentle lintel
#

@gentle lintel @gentle lintel @gentle lintel

fallen heath
#

Just use $y = f(x) \implies y(t) = f(x(t))$ and chain rule

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

screams

gentle lintel
#

but itโ€™s not guaranteed that y is a function of x

#

or x is a function of y

gentle lintel
fallen heath
#

both are functions of "t"

gentle lintel
#

or do we only consider the neighbourhood around (x(t), y(t))?

#

implicit function theorem fuckery

fallen heath
#

nvm mb

#

consider $f(x,y) = f(x(t), y(t))$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath

evil laughter

gentle lintel

how do you even parametrize $x^3y + xy^3 = 1$

(dy/dt)(dt/dx)

You should be perfectly happy with dy/dt, so it just remains to ask whether dt/dx makes sense ig

jaunty mural
#

Well like you said it does of course

gentle lintel
#

similar to the implicit differentiation talk ig

jaunty mural
#

because why should you care about anything outside the neighborhood when differentiating

gentle lintel
#

thinkies okays

jaunty mural

Differentiating is linearisation of the neighborhood

AX = {-1}
{1/2}
{2}

#

r = 2

final frost
soft cloak
#

that's the answer

final frost
#

Yes but is there a formula for that

soft cloak
#

r is what's known as an eigenvalue

final frost
#

Or you just need to trial and error it

soft cloak
#

Whether eigenvalues exist and how to find them is rather involved, and it takes up a few chapters in classes usually

#

perhaps you'll see it in the future

#

But in the meantime, don't worry too much about it, do the calculation and find the constant multiple

Ah ok ok thank you

covert island
cedar kilnBOT
covert island
#

so far I know that

#

I need to find the derivative of both sides

#

so i have 1/2x^1/2 and 1/2y^1/2

#

for the lfs

#

and the rhs I have 0

long fulcrum
covert island
#

$1/ 2sqrt(y) * dy/dx$

wraith daggerBOT
#

c0nc3ptsz

covert island
#

wait isnt the derivative of y^1/2

long fulcrum
#

$\frac{1}{2 \sqrt(y)} \cdot \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$

covert island
#

1/2(y)^1/2

#

oh wait

#

same thing

#

sorry

#

fuzzy brain lol

wraith daggerBOT
#

Serena!

covert island
#

right or u correct?

long fulcrum
#

what do you mean?

covert island
#

y could be subbed out as u right?

#

cuz i always do chain rule as the outter variable is u

#

and the inner is whatever the variable is

#

so like (x+4)^2

#

the inner equation is x+4

#

the outter is u^2

#

right?

#

or did i lose my marbles?

long fulcrum
#

i mean the derivative of (x+4)^2 would follow the chain rule yeah so you'd get f' g(x) * g'(x) so 2(x+4) * d/dx ( x+4)

#

which is just 2(x+4)

#

for this question you can sub in u, but i mean it's just a detour(?)

#

derivative of y = 1/(2 sqrt(y)) like you mentioned but since we're derivative it with respect to x we apply chain rule

covert island
#

mhm

#

so once we do that

#

this is where things get fuzzy for me

long fulcrum
#

so derivative of y wrt x would be dy/dx so to synthesize the root(y) portion's derivative would be 1/(2 sqrt(y)) * dy/dx

covert island
#

wrt?

long fulcrum
#

with respect to

covert island
#

oh yeah

#

so

#

1/2root(y'x)

#

works to right

#

cuz i wrote that part down

long fulcrum
#

what is y'x

covert island
#

dy/dx = y'x

#

no?

#

cuz its the derivative of y with respects to x

#

y'x?

zealous crystal
#

dy/dx=y'

long fulcrum
#

no i mean like why is it inside the bracket?

zealous crystal
#

Not y'x

covert island
#

uhhh im not sure actually

#

ok wait

#

so then

#

we have

#

1/2sqrt(y')

#

is that correct so far?

long fulcrum
#

no

covert island
#

1/2sqrt(y)*(y')

#

?

long fulcrum
#

[f(g(x))] ' = f'g(x) * g'(x)

long fulcrum
covert island
#

my bad

#

ok cool

#

ok so from here

#

I assume

#

we isolate it

#

so y' is alone

long fulcrum
#

yes.

covert island
#

correct?

#

im supoer close

#

i think its an algerbaic error

#

can u check if i have this part right

#

$1/(y') = -2rad(y)/2rad(x)$

wraith daggerBOT
#

c0nc3ptsz

long fulcrum
#

i mean the answer suggests it isn't? lol how did it become 1/y'

#

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \cdot y' = 0\
y' = -\frac{1 \cdot 2\sqrt{y}}{2\sqrt{x}}$

#

you can cancel out all the ones and two's ofc i just put it there for clarity since you were struggling with the algebra

wraith daggerBOT
#

Serena!

covert island
#

ok cool!

#

I got it

#

Thanks for your help!

#

I really appreciate it

#

!

thin blaze
#

Hello. I have to solve monotony of 6^n(im on highschool). How do i do it?

thin blaze
#

i know the formulas: a_n < a_n+1 for increasing and a_n > a_n+1 for decreasing

dense wing
#

I mean, trivially $6^k<6\cdot 6^k=6^{k+1}$

wraith daggerBOT
thin blaze
#

6^n < 6^n+1
6^n - 6^n+1 < 0
6^n(1-6)<0
6^n(-5)<0

#

so, how do i continue here?

dense wing
#

that's always true

#

so you've shown 6^n<6^(n+1) for all n

thin blaze
#

so?

south tundra
#

So you're basically done

#

You finished the proof...?

yea

crimson sedge

any questions?

frigid canyon
#

umm, dude i think you are here to ask questions

crimson sedge
#

oh,

#

Find the area of the triangle.

A triangle is shown. The base of the triangle is labeled 28 yards. At approximately the center of this base, a vertical dashed line segment is drawn to the opposite vertex. A small square is located at the intersection of the dashed line with the side of the triangle. The dashed line segment is labeled 7.1 yards.
A. 198 yd2
B. 106 yd2
C. 99.4 yd2
D. 32.2 yd

#

so

frigid canyon
#

where's the diagram?

crimson sedge
#

uhm

bold vine
#

Start by drawing a diagram

frigid canyon
#

it says it's given

crimson sedge
bold vine
#

Ah - my bad

elfin hemlock
#

โ€œTestโ€

crimson sedge
#

its says part 1

#

so its a practice

elfin hemlock
#

What? A test can easily have multiple parts

bold vine
#

I'm not sure that's how that works

crimson sedge
#

back

crimson sedge
#

even the teacher told him..

crimson sedge
#

:/

#

ofc

#

they ghost me

#

again.

elfin hemlock
#

Still not convinced that it isnโ€™t a test

crimson sedge
#

:/

# zealous crystal is this question complete?

Yes, the original text of this topic is a foreign language, the translation may be wrong, the meaning of this topic is that there are some people use two kinds of TV, for example, the teacher asked who likes math, you raise your hand, the teacher then asked who likes geography, you also raise your hand, that is, you like 2 subjects, back to the original question, this topic you have to find out how many people only use thin screen TV, equivalent to how many people only like math, this question I I can not think of, the It's too hard.

#

I think it's better to close the channel if no one has helped yet

well i got this stuff, i meant there is no data given like how many ppl were investigated or something like that?

but for the GP idk what to do

hoary notch

so you have $$a \quad b = a+r \quad c = a+2r$$ and $$a \quad c = xa \quad b = xc = x^2 a$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

rustyy

crimson sedge
#

@crimson sedge ok

#

I understand that where x is the ratio in the Gp and r is the ratio in the Ap

fallen heath
#

@crimson sedge you

#

wow, that second person pronoun sounds so violent at times lmao

#

Anyways

crimson sedge
#

HI

#

HOW ARE U

fallen heath
#

When given three terms in A.P.

crimson sedge
#

yes

fallen heath
#

there's a common trick you could do to save yourself from a headache

crimson sedge
#

and that is?

fallen heath
#

Let the terms be $(x - a), x, (x + a)$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

now, by their construction, they're already in A.P.

#

now, a, c, b being in geometric progression just means that: $$ab = c^2$$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

plug these values in there

#

and get an expression for a, b, c in terms of one variable

crimson sedge
#

ab = c^2

#

dont really understand that

jaunty mural
#

a, ar, arr

#

a(arr) = (ar)^2

#

aarr = arar

fallen heath
#

rawr

crimson sedge
#

xd

fallen heath
#

Lol

jaunty mural
fallen heath
#

for any three terms in G.P., their common ratio is same

crimson sedge
#

uh

jaunty mural
#

rr is just me writing r^2 fast

crimson sedge
#

so the first and last term of an arithmetric sequence is the middle squared???

jaunty mural
#

indeed

#

wait no

crimson sedge
#

is that a rule

fallen heath
#

so, umm $$\frac{b}{c} = \frac{c}{a} \implies ab = c^2$$

wraith daggerBOT
jaunty mural
#

wait i guess yes?

#

check it if you like

fallen heath
jaunty mural
#

think about AP. The middle term is the mean

#

GP, the middle term is the geometric mean...

fallen heath
#

twice the middle term of an A.P. equals the sum of first and last terms

#

while

#

square the middle term of a G.P. equals the product of first and third terms

crimson sedge
#

hmmm

#

thats cool

jaunty mural
#

first and last also

fallen heath
#

not cool if you're just accepting it as a matter of fact

jaunty mural
#

but here we have 3 terms

fallen heath
#

can you reason why it's like that?

jaunty mural
#

yes prove it ๐Ÿ‘€

crimson sedge
#

ummm

jaunty mural
#

Call the middle one x

fallen heath
#

Let a, b, c be three consecutive terms of a G.P.

crimson sedge
#

wait yeah I get it

fallen heath
#

prove that b^2 = ac

crimson sedge
#

so A, A(R), A(R)(R)

so theres 2 A and 2 R in the product of first and last which is the middle squared

fallen heath
#

i-

#

well that works as well uwucat

#

rawr

crimson sedge
#

oke

fallen heath
#

so now,

crimson sedge
#

so back to problem

fallen heath
#

you have three terms in G.P.

#

a

crimson sedge
#

si

fallen heath
#

c

#

and

#

b

#

a, c, b are in G.P.

#

so what's the relation between the three?

crimson sedge
#

$$ ab = c^2 $$

fallen heath
crimson sedge
fallen heath
#

perfect

wraith daggerBOT
#

็—›่‹ฆ

crimson sedge
#

ok now that works wew

crimson sedge
#

crimson sedge
#

crimson sedge
#

bruh bruh bruh

fallen heath
#

than it already is

crimson sedge
fallen heath
#

okay!! hear me out

crimson sedge
#

oke

fallen heath
#

let's start with one of the conditions

#

Terms in A.P. or terms in G.P.

#

which?

crimson sedge
#

terms in

#

GP

fallen heath
#

GF

crimson sedge
fallen heath
#

ait

#

So the three terms in GP

crimson sedge
#

ab = c^2

fallen heath
#

let the terms be $a, ar, ar^2$

#

Do you see that these terms are in G.P.?

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

yes

#

I do

#

I'm not that dumb

fallen heath
#

kek

#

now, this means

#

We've assumed: $$a = a, c = ar, b = ar^2$$

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

?

fallen heath
crimson sedge
#

yes

#

ok

fallen heath
#

Do you understand that!?

crimson sedge
#

YES

#

I DO

fallen heath
#

now

#

which three terms are in A.P.?

crimson sedge
#

UM

#

a, a + r, a + 2r

fallen heath
#

tf

crimson sedge
#

?

#

a, b, c

fallen heath
#

Question says a, b, c are in A.P.

#

YES

crimson sedge
#

ye

fallen heath
#

and what is our a, b, c

#

in terms of a and r

#

like we just previously calculated

crimson sedge
#

hi

#

a, a + r, a + 2r

fallen heath
#

bruhhhh

crimson sedge
#

WHAT

fallen heath
#

$$a = a, c = ar, b = ar^2$$

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

I thought u were talking about AP

#

not GP

fallen heath
#

let the terms be $a, ar, ar^2$

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

how to prove rectangle is a square

fallen heath
#

We ARE TALKING about a, b, c being in AP

crimson sedge
fallen heath
#

but we already know what a, b, c are

#

in terms of a, r

crimson sedge
#

ok

fallen heath
#

SO WHY NOT use that frickin condition to avoid using another variable

crimson sedge
#

OK

#

I WILL DO THAT

fallen heath
#

FIRST, WE HAVE a, c, b in a GP

#

so we let $a, c, b \equiv a, ar, ar^2$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

which automatically assigns $$a = a, b = ar^2, c = ar$$

crimson sedge
#

so in the AP, a + c = 2b

#

??

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

YES

#

$$a + ar = 2ar^2$

crimson sedge
#

oh was that what u were trying to get me to say

Lmao

#

So do you understand

crimson sedge
#

ofc

fallen heath
#

$$a + ar = 2ar^2$$

crimson sedge
#

now what

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
fallen heath
#

solve

#

for r

#

eliminate a

#

and you have some possible values of r

crimson sedge
#

$$1 + r = 2r^2$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

็—›่‹ฆ

fallen heath
#

,w 1 + x = 2x^2

fallen heath
#

r = 1, -1/2

#

which one is appropriate

crimson sedge
#

its positive

#

um

#

uh

#

I think

#

hmmMMMM

fallen heath
crimson sedge
#

negative

fallen heath
#

whicH ONE

#

-1? -2? -0.1111?

crimson sedge
#

OK OK POSITIvE posisiITIVEIE POksiITVEIIIEIE

fallen heath
#

NO

crimson sedge
#

WHAT

fallen heath
#

It's the -1/2

crimson sedge
#

HOW

#

WHEN

#

WHAT

fallen heath
crimson sedge
#

WHY

#

WTF

#

WHHHATTT

fallen heath
#

well, you're given a < b < c so

crimson sedge
#

it cant be negative then the domain will be undefined

#

it has to be positive

fallen heath
#

wdym-

crimson sedge
#

cause look

fallen heath
#

what do I look at-

#

r = 1 just gives you a = b = c

#

but your question clearly suggests a < b < c

#

why'd I avoid that trivial condition

crimson sedge
#

ok yeah we talked about this 2 days ago

#

like since c is in the middle

fallen heath
crimson sedge
#

we can differentiate that its switching from neg to pos

fallen heath
#

NOW

#

TIME TO PLUG THOSE BACK

#

what is a

crimson sedge
#

ahem

#

a is a

#

?

fallen heath
#

perfect !

#

what is b

crimson sedge
#

-1/2a

fallen heath
crimson sedge
#

?

fallen heath
fallen heath
#

$b = a\mathbf{r^2}$

wraith daggerBOT
crimson sedge
#

its ar and r = -1/2

fallen heath
#

Omg

crimson sedge
#

OOOHHH the GP

#

nvm srry

fallen heath
#

:SCREAMS:

crimson sedge
#

its the 3rd term

#

imagining a not so dumb, dumb hooman

an airhead?

#

what's c?

crimson sedge
#

c is

#

-1/2a

#

๐Ÿ‘

fallen heath
#

perfect

crimson sedge
#

yAY

#

so then

#

now we need to find smallest value for c

fallen heath
#

Now, your terms are $$a, \frac{a}{4}, -\frac{a}{2}$$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
