#help-16 for insatance
so all we have to worry about in y=2x-6 right now is the number attached to x.
that's our gradient
y=(2)x+(-6)
2 is our gradient, is it positive or negative?
positive
so is the graph going to go up or down?
so which of our options is a straight line that is angled up?
what's confusing you?
another says it's going to be one of the reasonsm y parents kill me
It's unexplainable
ok
deep breath
@tribal pier could we
I'm super sorry u been with me for 1 hour now
could we restart
but use
the question we're on as an example
yep
what's the equation for a straight line graph?
alright, so now we just need to know where to put what numbers
the gradient is the "rate of change." when x gets bigger, y should get 4 times bigger. That's what it means to have a gradient of 4
do u have a website
with a 4 sided graph
so i can make an example of what ur saying
hmmm
try desmos
type in y=mx+c, and it'll ask if you want to make sliders for m and c
tell it yes
done
makes way more sense
and if there's a negative gradient
when x gets bigger, y gets 4x smaller?
precisely
(if it's -4)
is that a yes?
yes
Sorry I been speaking English for 5 years I'm fluent at it just like I wanna make sure with words I don't use too much
so should the 4 replace the m or the c? try moving around the sliders and see if you can make the graph do what you want
sure
y is your output, it's the up/down direction of the axis
x is your input, it goes in the left/right direction of the axis
m is your gradient, it tells x how much to grow every time it gets bigger or smaller. if you move the m slider, you'll see it changes the angle the line is at
c is your y intercept, it tells the graph where it crosses the vertical axis. if you move the c slider, it shifts the whole thing up or down, but doesn't change the angle
desmos too confusing
unfortunately I have to leave, but I hope that explanation helps a bit
Np and thx a lot
<@&286206848099549185> help pls i need to understand gradients
the equation of a linear graph is y = mx + c
for every point in the graph, this is true
y r u deleting
i misread
the question
the x and y can vary, but m and c are constants
m is the gradient, c is the y intercept (the point that is at x=0)
it says m = 4, so y = 4x + c
since this equation is true for all points on the graph, you can put in (0, 3)
(-3) = 4(0) + c
so c = -3
I'm confused on this last part
so y = 4x + c
it says that there is a point (0, -3) on the graph (the y intercept because x=0)
the point (0, -3) has y = -3 and x=0
the coordinates are (x value, y value)
so you have your x value, and y value
if you put them into the equation y = 4x + c, you will get c (the y intercept)
so y = -3, and x = 0, so -3 = 4x0 + c
-3 = c
I understood everything you said until this point
(0 <-- x value, -3 <-- y value)
y <-(put y value in here) = 4x <-(put x value in here) + c
-3 = 4x0 + c
c = -3
y = 4x -3
okay thanks

could I get some help with this, I just cant see how one comes to the 2nd (the dr) integral, I understand the -2x^2 part but just not the other part 🤔
@turbid yoke Has your question been resolved?
some progress has been made, i realized that the 1 could be integrated on its on and will become pi a^2 after both integrals
also seems that 2xy = sin(2 theta) => 0
Did you try writing it out step by step
think im on the right track currently
just didnt really pay attention to 0 + pi a^2 being written outside of the dr
now its just that im getting *2 too much on one term 
shouldnt -2x^2 = -2*a^2*cos^2(theta)?

ok I solved it
or err, found out how they solved it
turns out I made a mistake here assuming x = acos(theta) and not x = rcos(theta)
otherwise with that fixed, integrating all the double integrals by parts made it work

I'm confused how they went from x^2 to x^(5/2)
yeah
$\sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$
dldh06
oh yeah i know what you meant lol
So distribute
$x^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot x^2 - x^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot x^{\frac{2}{3}}$
dldh06
oh its just 2 + 1/2?
Yes

This is what I got from reading. to find how long to cut the leg. Maybe others have better idea. You can use the trig like sin or tan to find the angle. I could be totally off-from reading.

Matt has 4 video-game-CDs, with one of them being a Pink Panther game.
He takes 2 of the CD's to his friend, and his friend tells him that he had already played pink panther.
What's the chance that 2 of the CD's matt had brought, had the Pink Panther CD?
If it was 1 CD that he had taken, then that would be 1/4 chance of Pink Panther being that CD
But that's not exactly the case here, since there are two CDs
My approach was 1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12, but that is probably incorrect
but i think there is 1/4 chance of the first CD being pink panther, and a 1/3 chance of the 2nd CD being pink panther
I assume it's asking without repeat. Then id use choose
$$ P = \frac{ {3 \choose 1}}{4*3} } = \frac{1}{4}.$$

(You may edit your message to recompile.)
cause once the panther is chosen, there's 3 to choose from
i could not be understanding the problem
The answer claims to have been 1/2
It says that the chance of the first Cd being pink panther is 1/4, and the chance of the second being 1/4, too
obviously, this is quite questionable
oh wait
i undercountd
mine should be x2
$$ P = \frac{ 2{3 \choose 1}}{4*3} } = \frac{1}{2}.$$
cause panther can be first slot
or second slot
ohNoiAmHere
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
what its saying is correct
since P(panter) = P(panther 1st) + P(panther 2nd)
cause that covers every case possible
1/4 + 1/3
= 3+4/12
= 7/12?
why is the second 1/3?
P(panther 1st) = 1/4 * 3/3
P(panther 2nd) = 3/4 * 1/3
Because once you've choosen your first CD, there are 3 CD's to choose from, aren't there?
4 options to pick from first, then 3 options second
theyre mutually exlusive
either i choose panther 1st or i choose panther second
there arent two panthers
I think it also work to calculate the chance of not getting a panther on either CD's
3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12
yes
= 1/2 of not getting panther
that would be correct as well
so getting a panther should be 1/2, too
I believe your way of solving this could be used for more complex problems, and that's why I am not able to fully understand it
yea, what im doing is theres 3 not panthers to choose from
and i can choose exctly one of them
there's two arrangments this this: namely, NP, P or P, NP
so i need to then multiply the probability by two
Yeah I believe i begin to get it now
it seems like just looking at your arrangments, it's two out of 4
so 1/2 of being panther, which was the solution we've initially come to
yea
I believe I've gotten this solved, thanks a lot for the help, mate
I really appreciate it

Hello! I know this integral is divergent:
but would it be correct to say that this one is 0? since it approaches both infinities equally fast
both are same
under one is the right way to solve the integral
I think it's called second order improper integral

how to find the asymptotes for a
$\ \frac{ax²+bx+c}{x - \beta }$
megi-san
Vertical asymptote is where a functions value tends to infinity / undefined. For that there's one way, when x - B is 0, the function will give an undefined value.
x - B = 0
so there's a vertical asymptote at x = B
IIRC Horizontal asymptote is the value the function approaches (if its a definite value then its an asymptote) as x tends to infinity. In this case take Lim x->0 of the function.

I have 0.65 and 0.95 and I want to change 0.95 to 1 while keeping the proportion between the two numbers the same. How do I do that?
I know it must be a percentage calculation of some type. But I've never been very good at those.
I know that if I divide both of the values with 2 and then multiply them with 2.105 I'll get 0,999875.
And with 2.106 I'll get 1.00035.
So I guess I'll keep trying some numbers to multiply with until someone has time to help me.
find percentage of 1 over 0.95
What does that mean?
Oh, you mean increase percentage. Well, that's 5%, right?
ok so
So I think the increase should be 5.263157894736848 %
Weird number.
But what do I do with that?
plus 1
Why plus 1?
Oh, shortcuts. Ok.
then do the same on the other number
Multiply by 1.05263157894736848?
times the same percentage
Okay so that should give me 0.68421052631.
If I got that right.
Yes, that is correct.
Thank you.

I am getting x belongs to (-inf, -7-sqrt(5)] U [sqrt(5)-7, -4)
but it turns out to be (-inf, -7-sqrt(5)] U [sqrt(5)-7, -14/3)
I understood that (-inf, -7-sqrt(5)] U [sqrt(5)-7, inf) comes from the fact that the square root is defined for those values only
but why is it -14/3 instead of -4
we can only square both sides when x >= -4, right?
ok nevermind im stupid....

Could someone explain to me or point me to some explanation online on what constant functions are, what you get instead of constants when integrating a PDE?
for example g'' = 0
and then take the integral twice to solve for g
sometimes you get g = F(x) + G(y) instead of g = F(x) + C
right
Interesting since i am also tryna learn DEs
this is kind of a central thing in multivar calculus
yea, I'm on the start of the course
have you any partial derivative stuff?
I can do PDEs but just don't get why sometimes you add constants like C, which is the normal
and other times functions
do you know why you add the C
what are those functions, why not just add constants, and how do I know when to add functions instead of constants?
yes
just never seen the functions
jan Niku (LinAlg Study Group)
then $\pdv{f}{y} = 1$
jan Niku (LinAlg Study Group)
so we should be able to recover f by integration
$\int \qty( \pdv{f}{y} ) \dd y = f(x,y) + ?$
jan Niku (LinAlg Study Group)
jan Niku (LinAlg Study Group)
y
okey let me show an example
When one is on the last step of solving a PDE by integrating, how does one know if one should add constants or functions?
Example
Determine all solutions of the form f(x, y) = g(x**2 - y) to the PDE
2 * df/dy + d2f/dx2 *+ x * d2*f/dxdy = 0
After having solved most of it one comes to this point
d2g/dt2 = 0
So we integrate twice since it's second derivative, to solve for g.
dg/dt = A , where A is a constant
g = A*t + C , where C is a constant
t = x2 - y
f(x, y) = g(t) = A**(x**2* - y) + C
That's the answer my professor has written. Now this is the part that's confusing, the next exercise he gave is this one, where there is no constants but instead functions when integrating.
Transform the PDE by using new variables u = x * e-y, v = y and then solve the PDE.
x * d2f/dx2 + d2f/dxdy + df/dx = x * e-2y
Here we arrive at a similar situation as in last problem, where we have to integrate twice but this time with regards to two different variables, u and v, to solve for g.
d2g/dudv = u
dg/du = u*v + A , where A is a constant
g = u2v/2 + Au + C , where C is a constant
now substitute back u and v
f(x, y) = g(u,v) = (x * e-y)2 ** y/2 + A*(x * e-y*) + C
if you take the derivative twice from g, then you get u, I don't see how this is different from the first example, yet professors answer is this
f(x,y) = (x * e-y)2 ** y/2 + G(x * e-y*) + H(y) , where G, H are functions
what's the difference? when to use functions and when to use constants as usual when integrating to solve the PDE?
if that's too long
look at this instead
from same example above , tldr
the long and short of it is that partial differentiation treats functions of the other variables as constants
then I did the next exercise and got it almost right, instead of my constants though, we got functions G and H
you know what happens to constants under differentiation
they are lost
this creates families
yea I know
for generality you need to pick the entire family back up
when you cross through the other side
still, why not use constants, and because constants are used sometimes and other times not, how should I know when to use constants or functions?
you need to pick up a function involving every other variable when you integrate something you know is a partial derivative of a multivariable function
constants are included here
the only reason to use a constant is if you are integration a single variable function
which you will probably not see in PDE
well
you will see it all the time 
but that should be straightforward enough hopefully
multivariable functions get functions
when you integrate
why is this one constants A and B and other example below it functions G() and H()?
was it because the function I integrated in the first was g(t)
and the other g(u, v)?
ill be honest i think im too tired to track the example you posted
and is probably question for your teacher
when I integrate a function and it has one variable = use constants
if you understand why you might pick up a function
when to use what should be very clear
when multiple variables = use functions instead of constants
if i can recommend something
look up exactness methods
for ODE
this is great practice with this concept
Integral of g''=g'
Integral of g' = g
am I understanding you correctly?
im not sure that you totally understand why you might pick up a function
which is fine
or if you do and youre just confused about the example then idk if im the person to help
I'm just asking for a rule set of how to know when to use "constant functions" instead of constants
or what it's called so I can google, can't find anything
constant functions?
can't see anything relevant to it when looking at exactness method, no functions in sight?
👀
In this section we will discuss identifying and solving exact differential equations. We will develop of a test that can be used to identify exact differential equations and give a detailed explanation of the solution process. We will also do a few more interval of validity problems here as well.
maybe not what it's called, but the functions G() and H() you see above
which are where I got constants instead in my answer
while professor used functions instead
when integrating or what do you mean
in general
don't see anything similar to my example/what I'm confused about on the page you linked
maybe we are talking past each other
yea, im very tired
should I close and try another group see if there maybe someone who gets my confusion?
you could try #calculus or just wait here
#odes-and-pdes might help too but calculus is more active
not a lot of people up right now
okey thank you anyways for trying

Two players, A and B, are playing an asymmetrical game. There are n points on the game board. Each turn player A targets a pair of points and player B says whether those two points are connected or unconnected. A can target each pair only once and the game ends when all pairs have been targeted. Player B wins iff a point is connected with all other points on the very last turn, while player A wins if any point is connected with all other points on any turn but the very last one OR if no point is connected to all other points after the last turn. For what values of n does either player have a winning strategy?

Hey, I have a chain rule question I'm a bit stuck with. I'm not sure if I've simplified it enough, and when I plugged it into an advanced calculator it gave me something completely different.
Here's the question:
And here is what I tried:
Your first line you have a -3/4 did you mean -3/2?
First line is correct other than that
You know, is it ok if you make the inside to the 6th power?
Or does your prof want you to practice an unsimplified version
No, just as long as it's completed using the chain rule it should be okay
So I could just effectively find the derivative of this right?
And that'd be the same?
Yes
you sure you differentiated 1/(2x) correctly?
should be -1/(2x^2)
Take care
Ah you're right
Thanks for the help you two 🙏

can someone explain the first one
@inner jay Has your question been resolved?
yes but from the derivative I got 8,-4
with respect to x I got 2x+y-12
to y I got x+2y
when I make them equal to zero I got 8,-4
which is minimum but idk about max
that's a pretty goofy looking graph
its probably something about the domain but I dont know what

What does it mean by defined range and how do I calculate it?
yes me too

basically you have to ensure that all terms are defined
like there can't be a negative under a root

You In HS or college?
what is HW
High school

Oh what’s your major?
mathematics 😄
Cool seems hard I’m only in the 11th grade
I want to major in software engineering any advice?
be consistent
I’m not good at math and I don’t even know how to code
Do I wish for luck or change major?
depends what is your definition of "not good"
do you like math?
I love it but I’m not that grate at it
Yeah but I have to pass the math classes
I hope so
Or else i will have to resort to other things to help me pass
Maybe one of my math teachers can help u

What kind of job do you want to have?
I was about to say you can do math for them

how do I do question B?
by subtracting 5 from the 1.1 and making it
-4.9t^2 + 10.8t -3.9
okay so what does B mean
I need to find the 2 spots where the ball reaches 5 meters and choose the correct one
I think
you need to find the time where the ball is 5 meters high
this is basically it yes
where would you begin
what makes a spot "correct"?
well if its a negative t its none sense
the point closest to the left
fair
it could be 2 points by the way
since the ball it being thrown left to right?
it could reach the height of 5m twice
(once while going up, once while coming down)
at y intercept 1.1
Eichhorst
its basically task A but the other way around
cause that's the only way Ik
you dont need to and whenever I did quadratic formula I want to have a postive integer on the left anyway
but you could do it to have a starting point
sorry 😦
what do you mean with starting point?
this
oh sorry my bad English, I meant it in a more work wise way. if it helps you to solve the task go for it. So you find a beginning
I wanna be able to do it quickly
are there no shortcuts
I mean, its really just solving 1 equation
how do you solve this?
if h = <the expression i cant remember> and h = 5, then what does that imply?
like p/q formula?
what equation?
the only one I can think of is the one I put above
-4.9t^2 + 10.8t - 3.9
I don't know that
okay
-4.9t^2 + 10.8t - 3.9 isnt an equation on its own
well you just solve a quadratic equation
h = -4.9t^2 + 10.8t - 3.9
there
if you want a method for that I can prove you one
show me the method
okay so you are familiar with binomial formulas?
I think so?
so yeah we want to write this as a binomial formula so we can just pull the root and izi
would (b/2)^2
be one?
no its an pretty easy method once you get the hang of it
and it REALLY helps understanding quadratic equations
lemme find a utube vid for it
I can write you down a guide if you want lol
pls do
it looks mad hard
but try a youtube video sure
@dire wedge we can go through this if you wish to
thats how I do it 😅
I needa go for now
thx for your help, ima study up this
didnt you teacher give you a method of solving quadratic equations?
but sure come back when you have more questions
I think he did but it wasn't the binomial formulas i'll check with him tmrw
or ig on monday
there are a lot of different methods to solve quadratic equations this is just one of them

Transforming r=theta into the cartesian plane as a single function
I'm pretty close but I need some help
function of what variable?
Assume f(x) = x cos (x), g(x) = x sin(x)
ah
and is the range of theta constrained?
(f(t), g(t))
so what's wrong with this parameterization?
If n is a constant,
The intersection of
x = f(n)
y = g(n)
form the fibonacci spiral
But to get it in a single equation Id have to say
x = f(g^-1(y))
I think, atleast
But I cant find the inverse function of x sin(x) and even wolfram's not digging up anything
If h(x sin(x)) = x,
r = theta
is the same as
x = h(y)cos(h(y))
Could it be non elementary?
Its not really considered
Nothing, but I don't want it in vector form
<@&286206848099549185> I am in over my head
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Any approximations atleast?
Something that has a spiral shape
My standards are on the floor

If anyone sees this after the question closed and knows or is close to the answer please dm me
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
it won’t be a function
so its non elementary?
yk what I mean
a relation
I want something that can be graphed in terms of x and y in a single equation
does $y = x\tan\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ count
riemann
Is there a way to graph only the positive part of the spiral?
what does that mean?
Ive been searching up "fibonacci spiral" this whole time
alright, well thats one part of what Im trying to find done
thanks a lot
I fucked up going from theta to x and y so I tried to do it another way

✅
x>0 just cuts the spiral in half
even arctan(y/x)
oh right
I dont get how that works though
I want a positive angle, not a negative one
send me a desmos link
positive angle means y/x > 0. but that just means x and y have the same sign. so maybe in addition to x > 0, you want y > 0. then separately add x < 0 and y < 0
wouldnt that just give me the 1st quadrant?
fuck

no
bad notation strikes again
x^-2 is not 1/sqrt(x), it's 1/x^2
and also you cannot just write a function, followed by an equals sign, followed by its derivative
Ok
it appears you're trying to be as terse as possible in your working
Yes
you should NOT do that
that is better so far
Ok now I’m trying to find the gradient
yes, and it should be less "trying" and more "doing" imo
True
evaluating a function at a point, especially when the function has a known formula, should be practiced until it is as automatic as doing an arithmetic problem

Solve for b. The answer sheet says the answers are 1 and -1 but I'm not sure how they got there
did you make an attempt?
evaluate the definite integral like any other and solve for b
I did that, then i ended up with sqrt(-7) which isnt possible
-2^2 = 4 then -(-b) is pos b
-2^2 isn't 4
it is according to my calc
your calc is wrong and/or you aren't entering stuff into your calc properly
and also you shouldn't be using a calc for that
from order of operations, the power applies to the 2 only
$-2^2$ is NOT the same as $(-2)^2$
ℝamonov
worked for me like that before
worked for me like that before
i highly doubt that
no need to be rude.
-2^2...if you have the minus sign outside of a paranthesis then it isnt part of the quantity getting squared
rudeness was not my intention
yeah I know what it means, my calcs not let me down like this before :/
if there is a parenthesis around it then (-2)^2 means you are squaring -2
can you type -2^2 without the brackets on your calculator
it gives -4
well why are you putting paranthesis on the calculator around the quantity you are squared, that isnt the calculators mistake
type 2, press square, then press minus
lol true

part c
i want to know why my answer is rong
i found the vector line equation of AB ; r = a + λ (b - a) and I set it equal to OC vector = λ (OC)
AB = (2 2 1) + λ (-1 -1 -5) = λ (3 3 -3) ---> λ= -1
and so i get (-3 -3 3)
The line equation for AB is wrong
Notice that the diagonal AB is given directly by (b-a)
Instead, you can use the property of rectangles, which states that the diagonals of a rectangle meet at their midpoints
So if you have the position of C, and O (O being the origin) you can easily find the vector AC, and compute its midpoint
IB question?
no edexcel
why?
that would be the vector AB but not vector line equation right?
yep that way is alot easier and true it is wat is expected but; im jst dont get what hav i done wrong
huh...i dont get it...bit more elaboration please
doesnt the first coordinate not matter when it is collinear?
you know what
this is my bad
I was wrong, you're equations were right
eqn of vector line between 2 points C & D is given by
r = c + λ ( d -c) right? so i used tht
go back to your original equations , re calculate them
you're supposed to get lambda=0.5
....i did 😭 but i stil get same
(2,2,1) + a(-1,-1,-5)=a(3,3,-3)
=> (2,2,1)=a(3-(-1),3-(-1),-3(--5))=a(4,4,2)
a=1/2
which is exactly the midpoint for both vectors
Im sorry about my earlier answer leading you astray, its been a while since I actually saw vector line equations (despite taking LinAlg2....)
no probs at all abt it
wow so my mistake was an arithmetic error 😐
pain 😭

Poni
Okay
@cursive turtle Has your question been resolved?
Ok, Do you know about Sum of roots and Product of roots of a Quadratic
Yes
Ok then let them be x1 and x2
So can you tell me what is x1 + x2 and x1x2
I already found, $$x1 + x2 = 3$$
Poni
and $$x1*x2 = 29$$
Poni
Why 7x + 39?
Could you show me the paper you did it, or simply do it in discord?
@delicate patio
I did it by normal method
The quadratic formula
I'll go by that too
As @frigid fox said.
Then, the new roots are x1-2 and x2-2 ,
So the quadratic will be $x^2 - (x1-2 + x2 -2)x + (x1-2)(x2-2)$
Trystnest
Are the first roots I found correct
Trystnest
Yes
Poni
What should I do next?
This
We can find the Sum and Product of new roots with out finding the exact previous roots

$$x^2 - (x_1 + x_2 - 4)x + (x_1 - 2)(x_2 - 2) = x^2 - (3 - 4)x + (x_1* x_2 - 2x_1 - 2x_2 + 4)$$
Poni
$$ x^2 + 1x + [29 - 2(x_1 + x_2) + 4]$$
Poni
I think you got it
$$x^2 + x + [29 - 2(3) + 4] = x^2 + x + (29 - 6 + 4) = x^2 + x 27$$
Poni
So the final answer of the equation is: $$x^2 + x + 27$$
Poni
👍
Yes, Done
thank you very much
im sorry, @frigid fox but why did we substract twice with -2
shouldn't we do it just once
Both the roots are subtracted by 2

when getting the slope for a tangent line, or anything for that matter, it's rise over run, delta y/delta x
then wtf is this
if you solve for m in that equation you get m = (y - y1)/(x - x1)
question is, why is it m = -a/b, where (a,b) is the point of the tangent
a,b here are not points of contact, they are the coefficient of x and y in the equation of line
sorry, looks like he means (a,b) is not the point
yea
so he takes the coefficients of x and y of the tangentplane
still, why x coefficient/ y coefficient
in all other cases, it's opposite, rise/over, y/x
and why minus a/b
where is this coming from
express ax+by+c=0 in slope intercept form
thank you
and we use it here because we want to find the tangentline at the given point to the level curve of the function, level curve is R2 here, so we can express the level curve by polynomial with two variables
?
yes
or is it better to view it as, the gradient vector in that point gives the slope of the tangent in that point by making it a scalar by a/b
okay thanks

where did .125 and .353 come from?
is the answer key even correct?
@steel ember Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
the answer will be
homozygous dominant = 125
heterozygous = 250
as far as my knowledge on the punnet square goes
so the answer key is wrong?
it says 41, 46, and 13%, none of which equal 125 or 250
I'm prolly wrong here
why??
It came from your notes or text
nvm
it's the hardy weinberg law 
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
dominant homozygous frequency is p^2
heterozygous frequency is 2pq
homozygous recessive is q^2
is p^2 homozygous dominant?
yes p^2
these arent my notes
ok why isn’t q equal to .25, the percentage of homozygous recessive?
This is
shouldn’t p and q be equal to the percentage of homozygous dominant and recessive in decimal form?
q^2 should be equal to .25
there's something wrong with either the question or the answer key
definitely
isn’t q the frequency?
if not, then what is q?
q^2 is the frequency
so is this correct?
yes
ok i’ll tell the teacher the answer key is wrong

What are we trying to show is true?
We can look for saddle points in 10x + y - xy
We'll take the partial of both variables to get a system:
10 - y = 0
1 - x = 0
We find that there's a potential minimum at (1,10)
But that's still 10
Worth checking all the endpoints, but this is looking true.
