for what values of a are they integers
why divide by 4 and 2
Now, your terms are $$a, \frac{a}{4}, -\frac{a}{2}$$
AND THEY NEED TO BE INTEGERS
READ
THE
QUESTION

LET a, b, c be three integers
a, b, c are integers by definition
they were integers since the day they were born
it's us who redefined them for our measly purposes
and according to our convenience

so
THE QUESTION IS
for what values of a
are these terms $$a, \frac{a}{4}, -\frac{a}{2}$$
INTEGERS?

for a = 4, c = -2 but a < b < c

this is for GP or AP
THIS IS FOR BOTH
wHAT
we accounted FOR BOTH conditions
HOW
WE CONSTRUCTED a, c, b SUCH THAT THEY FOLLOW THE GP CONDITION
and then
plugged them in so that they follow the AP CONDITION
and finally
.
are in A.P., and the a, c, b combination is in G.P.?
wait what

._.
Yes, so
again
do we understand that
these terms $$a, \frac{a}{4}, -\frac{a}{2}$$
are in A.P., and the a, c, b combination is in G.P.?
so
you need to make a/4 an integer
so just plug
a = 4k for some integer k
and your terms are
$a, b, c \equiv 4k, k, -2k$
Yes
oh -1
for which these are integers
and a < b < c
SO
lets do a summary pls
c = 2, b = -1, a = -4
cause my brain is completely fried
wait is the answer not -1 cause I just put -1 as answer and submitted
lmfao

are we doing a test Q?
what why
@ moderator, please check the mod log
XD
ok
do yeah
back to problem
but the GP
-4, 2, -1
nvm
lol
wew that problem was so hard I couldn't never got it by myself
@fallen heath can you help me summarize it
OKAY
ok
NO
what
you do the talking and I do the assimilating
you pick terms accordingly
AND
plug into the conditions for another
Not create TWO SEPERATE LIST OF TERMS
AND TWO SEPERATE LIST OF VARIABLES
a, b, c in A.P. => a, a + r, a + 2r is fine
but then you'd just have to plug this into the conditions for GP
a, c, b in G.P. means ab = c^2
so pick the terms(that you assigned for the A.P. condition) here
a(a+r) = (a+2r)^2
THAT'S IT
because in the previous solution, we picked our construction from G.P. condition
we did this not that
We assigned a, c, b = a, ar, ar^2
but you're using the A.P. condition
so you've assigned, a, b, c = a, a+r, a+2r
oh ok
so we used the GP condition not the AP condition which we are using AP condition in the sumary
dummary, yes
Also, as you can see
using the G.P. condition to construct the terms and then plugging to A.P. conditions work better than vice versa
both of which are way better off than using the two conditions separately and introducing a third variable
towards the end
we just solved the second condition
and derived the terms in terms of one parameter
then applied integer condition
how we were suppose to know that it was -1 without just guessing
and replaced with another parameter
and then, we finally concluded that our terms must look like
$a, b, c \equiv 4k, k, -2k$
NOW
if -2k > k > 4k
then k Must be negative
so the biggest negative number of -1
or smallest value for -2k is 2
and we're done
I did it
this problem is super easy once you are organized
so I got this formula $$ 5 * 2^x $$
痛苦
where x is the generation thing
but idk how to model the sum of people from previous 11 generations in quantitative reasoning
@fallen heath any thoughts?
what how
is my formula I pulled from my ass not any good

I'm confused it says siri has 5 siblings so thats 6 right
@fallen heath I'm comparing $$ 2^12 vs 6(12)^11 $$
痛苦
2^12 and 6(12)^11

Are there any alternative terms for "dependencies" and "dependents" in a directed graph? I find that these terms are a little ambiguous. For example, take node A's dependents. Does that describe the nodes that depend on it or the nodes it depends on?

yo
can i do
4/x = rx
and
27 = 1/2 (r^2) x
would that work?
and then we arrange them
right???
sounds fine to me

i have a formula but im not sure how to exactly do it
cause the formula is 2 pi and r
2* pi *r = circumference
Plug in r
You only have multiplication. Do it in any order you want
oh alright
i was just confused because i know how to do diameter just not radius
thank you sm

That is a question yes
cant seem to find a way to start with the solution
that it has to be a square
That’s true!
u trolling?
What is the formula for the area
s^2
Okay so then how long is each side if the area is 10
√10
Okay so then what’s the issue here
How to use the grid of squares with sides 1cm each, to construct √10cm
consider pythagoras
Maybe you can rotate the square?
wdym
So can you construct a triangle whose hypothenuse is sqrt 10
the sides of the square should be traced on the grid
where is it written?
I’ll draw an example for you
last sentence @fallen heath
Use the grid to construct the square with area 10cm²
No where is it written that you must trace the square on the grid
given from the teacher
ngl that makes it seem impossible
so im pretty confused
consider pythagoras
It’s not impossible
Are you allowed to use compass?
nope
would you be able to construct a (right) triangle with a hypotenuse of sqrt(10)
lemme try
then throw the question down the trash ._.
no compass and you need to trace the square on the grid
it's not possible
Dude you just need a straight edge
Which is like, the basic requirement for making any rectangle
how does a straight edge solve the problem? okay fine you draw 3² + 1 = 10, say... da heck do you do to translate it on the grid
they seem to have misinterpreted that the square needs to be on the pre-existing horizontal and vertical lines, which it does not
by trace, surely they mean a rough square
i dont think so
Okay dude I’ll draw it out for you
no need
you can draw it anywhere within that grid as long as you can justify that the sides lengths are sqrt(10) without external measurements and that it's a square
but I guess i can try to solve it with a rotated square and see if its correct tmrw
tell me, how do you plan on rotating this square, so that the sides coincide within the grid?
There’s like no other way to solve it
EXACTLY
Okay
If this is true,
and this is true
I feel bad that we ruined this problem for you in a dick measuring contest @spark idol
then I suggest give up on the Q
you most likely misunderstood them
.
i'll try to solve it like u suggested
and check
very good :D there's more than 1 such squares in the grid
please find them all ^^"(as a bonus Q ofc)

They are telling me to Find
Every possible Answer of A
• After 15 minutes, feel free to ping @Helpers.
So that the inequality is true for all x?
For that you'd need x^2 - 4x + a to have 1 or 0 roots
(because if it had 2 roots, it'd somewhere be negative)
So you just need the discriminant to be <= 0
i cant understand
Just say that 4^2 - 4a <= 0
yea i get it but why discriminate is below 0
Because if it was positive
Then the parabola would have 2 roots
Meaning that somewhere it goes below x axis
But we don't want that to happen
How do you see how many roots does parabola have
Because it depends on the discriminant
but How do you know disceiminant when you dont kNow A
You don't need to know a
4^2 - 4a *
IT IS POSITIVE YEA??
4a
thats why it have 2 roots
Pretty much the opposite, discriminant should be <= 0
Again, if it was positive then it'd have 2 roots meaning somewhere it goes below x axis
So x^2 - 4x + a >= 0 wouldn't be true
@south tundra What if X²-4x+a<=0
That's impossible, because look
Coefficient of x^2 is 1
So the parabola goes upwards
So somewhere it'll be above x axis

The Fractalogist
is 90 as you can see
let's say alpha is 25
then u can find angle T

and as u can see phi is alpha + T
25+65=90

d/dx this ln(sin^2(x))
so I did d/dx(sin(^2(x))) / sin(^2(x))
https://socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-differentiate-ln-sin-2-x this gives you the full derivation
we got the same answer i think
It's not wrong.
letsss go!!
It's not finished but it isn't wrong
would 2cos(x) / sin(x) be a fine answer?
nope 1 more step
what
remember sohcahtoa
Yeah that's right
cos(x) / sin(x) is a common trig function
Oh I mean you could write it as 2ctg(x) but ehh
Ey, someone else who uses tg, not tan
right?
You say it as ctg not cot?
In my country we do too
Not common I believe
so when you do cos/sin
its (A/H)/(O/H) which the H's cancel to give A/O

and we know Tan=O/A so cot=A/O
Why does that follow?
or wait co functions are different than arc functions my bad definition wise
need anything else @astral dagger ?

hopefully it’s clear!!
All of them! Sorry it’s quite a lot
Alright!
not much to be honest
I’m so stuck on it
I’ve says had a problem with this part of maths
5 yes
mhm
10mm
15?
It’s okay:)
Wait does it add on each time
If that’s so would that be 8
Oh alright
Yep
20?
mm
35
omd
I’m so dumb
So there’s 27 blocks
Not there’s 5
Yep
Whatever you said is correct
25mm
50mm
I think we add them up
huh
20mm
We add that up?
70
5blocks
So 25
We add that 95mm
Which is*
135mm
Right okay
Now what?
Is there another step or
Oh okay
Next one?
I understand! It’s quite late for me so can I ask tomorrow?
Thanks for helping btw!
I have to go now!

Im having a brain fart while studying physics
Ok so
Hello fellow gigachad
same
Yo it’s a physics major
We got a car racing. It needs to finish 2.88km in 65s. If its speed in the first half is 60m/s then what is the speed needed to finish the second half?
I can take a pic but yall probs dont understand french
(ive learnt french)
well how long is the first half
Distance is 2880m
Time is 65s
Initial speed is either 0 or 60m/s
Final speed is what we looking for
No acceleration
You dont get it
You know the whole course
2880m
Or 2.88km
does "the first half" mean "the first 1.44km" or "the first 32.5s"?
What
i imagine the former
First half of the.. course?
Yeah course
Oh thats what i was missing
My dumbass cant read
Gimme a sec
either way you know 2 of v, d, t
Yeah.
Thing is
Is the inital speed 0m/s
Or 60m/s
We start a race at 0
Or wait this is a two step thing aint it
Wait i might have it
Starting with the first part of the coursd
I need to know how long it took to complete half the course
$v=D/t$
Serious Metrapolis
How do i make a division
$v=\frac{D}{t}$
ryc for mod⁴ (meg)
Why is it so complicated
Anyway with that formula i got 24s for the first half
Now i just need to find the speed with the 24s substracted from 65 yeah?
that's the time
yep

Ping the helpers
<@&286206848099549185>
like i can't seem to transform the following statement
$\neg{P}\wedge{R}$ into ${P}\rightarrow{Q}$
Sir Raftalot
@visual raptor Has your question been resolved?
the idea at the first step should probably have been: \ $(P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow R)$ $$= [(P \rightarrow R) \lor \neg(P \rightarrow R)] \land [(P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow R)]$$
now, some manipulations in the center expression in the parentheses so you can make the parentheses from that.. into: $$[((P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow P)) \lor ((Q \rightarrow R) \land (R \rightarrow Q))$$
what law let you jump straight to that?
jump straight to what?
from the lhs to your first p->R
Give me a second, I probably typo-ed sth
no because i haven't learned wahtever law let you move from the LHS to p->R
or rule that let you do that
I used: $c \lor \neg c = T$
So this: \ $(P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow R)$ is just $$T \land (P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow R)$$ which is $$= [(P \rightarrow R) \lor \neg(P \rightarrow R)] \land [(P \rightarrow Q) \land (Q \rightarrow R)]$$
sorry also im in the mid of a game gimme a few minutes
okie
ok ready
so the tautolgy helps you get to that step have you skipped any steps or is it some rule about if then that im unaware of?
if then and tuatologies
or hang on
is PthenR or not(PthenR) also a tautology?
It is! ah cool thank you so much ansh i think ive got it from here! 🙂

What would the shape highlighted in red be? If there is a shape for that entire section that would be cool but I assume I have to add a kite (top part) and a quad (bottom part) together? But since the kite is not flat, I don't know if I can use the normal formula for the area/volume of a kite. Thank you 🙂

It appears to be made of four flat surfaces: Two quadrilaterals (walls) and two triangles (ceiling)
Ohh yeah
I guess I'm not really sure what your question is.
It exists in three dimensions, so no two-dimensional area formula will calculate it accurately

but isn't 100/10 and 10/100 technically the same thing?
no
one is 10% and the other 1/10?
Closed due to the original message being deleted
oh it closed on me, how is 100/10 and 10/100 different?
one is 10 full cakes and the other is a just one slice of a cake that was cut into ten slices

oh right, I just think everything only in %
so % wise tho both are the same if we only look at it that way right?
confused now, why and when we would use this "one is 10 full cakes and the other is a just one slice of a cake that was cut into ten slices" kind of context
instead of calculating/doing everything with percentages %?
cus if there was 10 people, either way everyone gets 1 piece of cake

Just need help with composite functions but stuck on them
Replace the x with the function
F(x)?
Yes
Wait I’m confused
Which function
Square root of x+8?
Yes
This?
Or is it wrong?
Nope
One sec
$f(g(x)) = \sqrt{8x-12+8}$
Galwa
@crimson sedge
Hmm
So then you combine terms
So 8x-4?
Yup
Wait where did the x+8 go
Or is that just +8?
The x became 8x-12
Okay
So
8x-4
Would you divide inside the square root
What do you mean
What would you do now? Isn’t x=2
Since 8/4 is 2?
Or no
That's the function, you can then plug in any x such that the function is positive
So that would be f(g(x))?
Yes
Square root of 8x-4?
Ohhh
If he asks you for a function
You answer with a function
Not with a real number
Got it
Unless the function is constant
Ty I understand it a lil now
Alright you can close this channel
How do you do that

I'm stuck for 2(b). Any help would be appreciated!
$\sqrt{1 + (\frac{x^4}{3} - \frac{3}{4x^4})^2}$
Snoopy
I am trying to solve for the integral above and I know that I should manipulate the expression above such that the square root will cancel out with a square within. But I can't seem to do so.
@proud tartan Has your question been resolved?
Have you tried common denominator for the $\frac{x^4}{3}-\frac{3}{4x^4}$?
Mango
It's ugly as it is but starting from there would help
I tried factorizing 1/12 but then it just exploded in my face
not sure if I did it incorrectly but I'll give it another go
Hope this helps: $\frac{x^4}{3} \cdot \frac{4x^4}{4x^4} - \frac{3}{4x^4} \cdot \frac{3}{3}$

whats the probability of getting a facecard from a manipulated deck of 52 cards such that the black cards are x2 more probable than the red?
Changing the color doesn't change the number of faces or am I crazy?

A grass lawn has a length of (3x+1)m and a width of (2x-3)m. There is a concrete path of uniform width 2 meters around it. Find the area of the grass lawn with the path.
you wanna try drawing it out
use ms paint or whatever you have
like this pretty much but label the sides with lengths
Yeah, I've tried that. What I'm not sure is that is it ok to calculate without the length?
How would you calculate with the length?
yeah i think you're supposed to express your answer in x
I also don't know haha.
Here's what I did though
(3x+1+4)(2x-3+4)
= 6x^2+13x+5
Then that's it?
i would assume so

if i have a graph in which f(x)=2 and g(x)=-2 and i need to make it so y=x, how would that i do that on the graph?
Can you send how the question is formulated?
Because your explanation of it is confusing
Graph your two functions on a coordinate plane. Include a table of values for each function. Include five values for each function. "Graph the line y = x on the same graph."
the qoutes are what i need help with
do you need the full set of equations for the graph?
Oh, so you need to graph y = f(x) = 2, y = g(x) = -2 and y = x I guess
i think so
Just draw two horizontal lines
i have, but what about the y=x
One should have height of 2 and the other one should have -2
yep
i have seen almost all types of graphs and even helped some people with them, im just not there with school yet and am in a bit of a downspiral
thank you for breaking it

Please use ,list to see a list of all my commands, and ,help cmd to get detailed help on a command!
would you mind writing it out or sending a picture that will be embeded?
ok
the bottom left letter is s
I have to find the value of x
ARGH (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
x/2 is a degree?
no
The letters other that x and y are unimportant
I need to find the value of x and y
<@&286206848099549185>
you're fine
is it asking |TS|
T, S, and U are unimportant
i'm just trying to find the value of x and y
it's 6th math
it's (1/2*x)
it's an equilateral triangle, meaning all sides are equal to one another. It has already given, 22.
make all values equal to 22
right
the worksheet says to write an equation to determine the values of x and y
Oh, wait!
So i have to find out what to multiply by 1/2 to make it 22 mm?

for part b) (ii)
i have (let x = theta) 1/21sinx-20cosx+31 in the form
1/29sin(x-43.6)+31
how would i find the greatest value
<@&286206848099549185>
when is a fraction the largest
when sin(x-43.6)=-1
so 1/(-29)+31
thanks
forgot bigger denominator means smaller fraction thanks

for the surface on the right, why do u need to integrate in 2 seperate areas
rather than just taking it from the smallest point in x to the largest point in x
?
@ember phoenix Has your question been resolved?
apparently the function y = x + 1/x is increasing for all values between -1<x<1. This is found by finding the derivative of the function which yields 1-x^-2>0, which is then factorized into (1-x)(1+x)>0 and then you solve for the roots. But i did a different methods and the result made no sense. i had 1 - x^-2 > 0 --> 1 > x^-2 ---> so -1>x and 1> x which doesn't match up with the first solution.
what is going on?
so its basically due the fact that it has a increasing or decreasing function in the vertical direction
hence why it needs to be split up
