$\frac {2^{x}+2^{x+1}+2^{x+2}+...+2^{2x}}{2^{x+y+1}-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x+y+1}-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x}(2^{y+1})-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x}(2^{y+1})-2^{y}}$
is this it?
ah shi
hol up
i do know but i know I'm not supposed to use that to solve this
Are u allowed to do that in the denominator
Do what
no?
I have never seen this 💀
lmao that is false
yes
Javaan T
factor out 2^x in denom too bro , write it as 2^(x+y+1) = 2^x * 2^(y+1) ...... 2^y = 2^x * 2^(y-x)
Tf

so you're sayin..
$\frac {2^{x}+2^{x+1}+2^{x+2}+...+2^{2x}}{2^{x+y+1}-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x+y+1}-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x}(2^{y+1})-2^{y}}\
\
= \frac {2^{x}(2^{0}+2^{1}+...+2^{x})}{2^{x}(2^{y+1})-2^{y}}$

i love deadends
I think the 2nd part of the numerator can be worked on
how's this problem taking this long
yet i only had 1 minute to solve it on paper
like bruh
Its not long, im sure someone whos good at sns can do it very fast
Ah
so nobody here's proficient at it?
Im not proficient is all i know xd
lol
Whats the formula of gp?
still great that you admit to not knowing
The 2nd part of numerator is a gp
Bro stop using acronyms and just say the whole thing
Geometric progression
gp in my mind can mean grand potato ffs
The geo prog is...
$\sum_{i = 0}^{x} 2^{i}$

@void echo sorry could u help me?
@junior timber do you need help?
yes
could u help?
I can try
ight so
okayy
question: What is the first four terms of an arithmetic seqeunce with a common diff of 3 1/3 if the first term is 4
do you know how to write the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
nth term as in the first term?
cuz probably not
kinda new to this topic
nth term is the formula to find any term of the sequence
it is a + (n-1)d
where a is your first term
d is your common difference
and n is the position in the sequence
so if you want the first 4 terms, you sub in n = 1,2,3,4
along with your a and d values
ohh got it
ook
is 4 +(1-1)*3 1/3 = 4??
also the second term is 7.33333 do i round it?
? sorry
2 decimal places
ohh
so 7.33
alr
another one
starting at 777 and counting back by 5's, what is the last number that is greater then 1
what is a and d
are you sure it is 5
yup it says
-5
good
Tn>1
?
Its the same thing
alr
Tn is how i write nth term💀
Just try
k
@junior timber Has your question been resolved?
So n cant only be a natural number, so u take 156
yes thats what i di
*did
whats the value of 1+2-3-4+5+6... +45+46-47-48+49
the pattern is - - + +
@junior timber Has your question been resolved?
can someone helppp
what's the question
if i rewrite it as:
1-3+2-4+5-7+6-8+...
can you see a pattern?
@junior timber
yes
what pattern do you see
-2+-2+-2
ohh
and then add 49 at the end
wdym add 49?
the 49 doesnt have a pair to match with
yes and add 49
ok ty
can u help me with another one
what's the question @junior timber
try to determine how many terms in each arithmetic sequence?
a. 3,6,9,12, ... 96
b. 4,7,10,13, ... 91
c. 5,12,19,26, ... 145
d. -18,-12,-6, ... 60
e. 123,119,115, ... 43
a. 3
b. 3
c. 7
d. -6
e. 4
so (for question a) how many times do we have to add 3 to 3 to reach 96?
yes that's it
which one?
after henry says 34, what is the next number he says
32
there are 5 students at the table
yes so if we represent the numbers henry say as an arithmetic sequence, what would the common difference be
-5
yes so as a sequence, henry says the numbers 34-5n
what is the last number henry will say then
5
oops sorry
4
i think
so fred would say 1
ok ty

but in their example, its the opposite?
instead of going up its gonig down?

I'm a bit confused on how to graph this. Should the only value I should be worrying about is the Y intercept ?
are you convinced that it's not the second option?
Does knowing the y-intercept give you A?
I believe so , that would invert the graph ?
I don't think so
try plugging in x=0 into your equation
That gives me a straight line
it's not a straight line. it's a point on the curve
do you know what y-intercepts are?
Yes
what are the coordinates of the y-intercept of your graph?
how'd you get this? that's not of the form $Ae^x$
riemann
I tried throwing it into DESMOS and that gives an asymptote that looks similar
Would it be y = 2e^x instead ?
right

Earlier i posted a question, asking how to prove that an elementary row operation of the sort Ri --> Ri+λ.Rj does not change the solution set of a system of linear equations. I think i have a proof now but im not sure if its valid.
In short and in words i define a system S1 of linear equations Ra (a_1x_1+a_2x_2+...+a_nx_n = b_a ) and Rc (c_1x_1+c_2x_2+...+c_nx_n = b_c) in n unknowns with a solution set of {s_1,s_2,...,s_n) Then i construct a second system S2 with linear equations Ra and Ra+λRc. Then i go on to write Ra+λRc as (a_1x_1+a_2x_2+...+a_nx_n) + λ(c_1x_1+c_2x_2+...+c_nx_n) = b_a + λb_c. Then i substitute λ(c_1x_1+c_2x_2+...+c_nx_n) with λb_c and bring it over to the right side so im left with (a_1x_1+a_2x_2+...+a_nx_n) = b_a + λb_c - λb_c. Meaning that the solution set of S1 is the same for S2 since S1 = S2 after some algebraic manipulations.
I feel like this is not a valid proof since in the end im adding the row "Ra+λRc" with the row "-λRc" which gets me in a circle. Ive basically used the row operation Ri --> Ri+λ.Rj to prove that Ri --> Ri+λ.Rj does not change the solution set. Did i go wrong, if so where and how can i prove this?

Looks like if fill in S_n as 950,273 and subtract 1 from both sides,
That the number on the left needs to be the product of a power of 2 and an odd number

Ok so what’s the angle of a straight line?
180
Yeah
So then that’s the whole angle
You then subtract part of it to get x
So then what would be the equation?
x=180-91
thanks
No problem
qucik question
is this
109
like the answer
i’m just checking
No
what’s the answe
then
Oh
The answer to x
Sorry
Yes that one x = 109 as well

3 shop owners (A,B,C) are all in the same line of work and each own a seperate store. Each owners profit isuniformly distributed between 0-100k. What is the probability that A makes more money than B and B makes more money than C. What is the probability they all make exactly the same amount.
Do you have the answers to this? Or have u done some work that i could see?
is this uniform distribution discrete or continuous?
I don't know about the second question, but the probability that A makes more money than B and B makes more money than C should be 1/6, according to me but i could be wrong
Yeah, do we have to use calculus here
But i feel like 1/6 is the only answer that makes sense , given the information
,rotate
Continuous
And the answer to the second part so far according to me is $\frac{1}{10^{15}}$
Lelouch
More money is > so A>B and B>C
But i am not sure entirely how i am supposed to treat these no.s
If it's continuous then 1/6 shoud be correct and the second should be 0
Ur second answer is wrong then , no?
Cuz technically it is $$\frac{1}{10^{15}}$$ , it is quite small but it's there :3
Lelouch
No, that's the difference between continuous and discrete here
OH YEAH
Cuz i didn't count this scenario in the answer of 1/6
So the answer to the first should be corrected to $\frac{1}{6}$ - $\frac{1}{10^{15}}$ and the answer to second part would be $\frac{1}{10^{15}}$. But that only if it's discrete
Lelouch
If continuos then this
For discrete you also have to count cases like A=B>C etc
Can you explain how you got to 1/6?
;-; imma study now, thank you :3
Bye
Thank you for your help!
Np
And if it is continuous we don't have to worry about the difference between A>=B>=C and A>B>C etc
So is it like 3 permute 2 = 6 and one of those permutations is where A>B>C
So these 6 options cover all possible options
Just out of curiosity if I need to find the probability that A>B would it then be 1/2?
That's in the discrete case
Although now thinking about it it isn't correct I think
Should be 1/10^10
How did you get that?
Let A earn whatever. There are 10^5 options for what B can earn and in only one of those is it equal to A. Same for C
So 1/10^5 * 1/10^5=1/10^10
Ahhh okok
Right I forgot about the interval 😅
So if the probability that A>B is 1/2 shouldnt the probability that B>C also be 1/2 and then shouldnt the total prob be 1/4?
Uhm...
Hmm
I'm gonna say the events A>B and B>C aren't independent
But not sure right now
Intuitively, if we for example already knew that A1...A100 > B, then B should be small so C>B is more likely than B>C
Yeah that was something I was struggling with like if A is randomly very high then the probability of B<A would be higher
But ig if you average out over the whole interval it will converge
So would this be only if A,B,C are independent?
They are independent
But that doesn't mean the events A>B and B>C are independent
Because they both include B
ahh right sorry ignore that
Yeah that makes more sense
I have to go now. Cya

How to solve this? I've tried by change this to √x² form and got √((√8 - 3)²) + √((2 - √2)²) but the answer is not that
are you familiar with the piecewise definition of the absolute value
No
$|x| = \begin{cases} x \ &\text{if } x > 0 \
-x \ &\text{if\ } x\leq 0 \end{cases}$
ℝamonov
Yes
that's referred to as the piecewise definition
anyway the values inside the absolute value are known
you can tell whether the inside is positive or negative and then use the appropriate piece
is $\sqrt{8} > 3$?
But how to calculate the sqrt?
no need
just square both sides
x^2 is an increasing function so the inequality doesn't change
is 8 bigger than 9
So, the answer is 5-3√2?
yes

would it be ok to ask for help with physics? Or that’s out the question-
do you know what a 2d one is?
2d one?
2d cartesian coordinate system
2 Dimension Cartesian
its the xy plane
and you can locate points in 3d space with 3 coordinates (x,y,z)
so (X, Y, Z) stands for the position of the center of mass
and (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) are the positions of the two 2 masses
you lost me at this part
those are just coordinates for 2 bodies with masses m1 and m2

hi im new to multivariabpe calculus and im kinda confused
i have this function that calculates the cost of a business with two variables x and y
and then theres a restriction like
5x+10y=80
can i just substitute y for x and make the function one variable😅

just wanted to clarify: dv/dx = 1 right?
Only if -ω²x/v = 1
If v is velocity and x is displacement, then no, dv/dx is not 1 for any random curve
context?
what you're asking is like "a/b = 1 right?" without giving any context
Hello there
why not? v^1 ... 1v^(1 - 1)?
is v a function of x? because it doesnt say so
v is a function of x
how do yk?
velocity is the derivative of displacement
wrt to time?
yes

You shouldn't use n for both index and final term
That's like saying n+n+n when you mean 1+2+3
By index do you mean the thing on the sigma?
On the bottom?💀

@manic acorn Has your question been resolved?
consider rewriting Tn as ((n+1)-1)n!
u should end up at a telescoping series
I have
And i did get the correct answer that way
But im asking why is this process wrong
this?
Yes
cuz n-1! is not a constant
Also could you explain what the index and the final term means💀
But n(n!) And n!=1.2.3....(n-1).n, here the 1 and 2 can also be written in terms of n?, so those are also not constant?
avoid taking the same variable for the general and final terms
General term and final term of the series?
yes
Can you give an example of how it would have been better to write it as
gimme a moment i'll get back
Alright
$\sum_{r=1}^{n}r(r!)$
newbienoob
@manic acorn this
Can i write that same thing but Tr to the right of sigma?
yes
newbienoob
But Tr in our class was taught means the rth term
yeah so that's what it is
right
I see okay
Alright
Was there anything you wanted to say?
this pains me
My future isn't looking bright
😡
Hey no offense! lol
you're making good progress

how do i calculate the limit. I dont know how to even start
What have you tried?
Well, when you see something plus a square root or something minus a square root, it might be worth trying to multiply and divide by the conjugate

I have to confirm y = 2e^-x + 3e^-2x is a solution to the differential equation y'' + 3y' + 2y = 0, how can I confirm it?
$$y=2e^{-x}+3e^{-2x}$$
$$y^{\prime \prime }+3y^{\prime }+2y=0\rightarrow r^{2}+3r+2=0\rightarrow r_{1}=-1,\ r_{2}=-2\rightarrow y=Ce^{-x}+De^{-2x}$$
plug it into the differential equation and see if it's true
You mean I have to take the first and second derivative?
yep
in your typeset version, you wrote $e^{-2x}$, but should it be $3e^{-2x}$ like in your first comment?
OurBelovedBungo
"confirm y = 2e^-x + 3e^-2x is a solution"
AuHasard
There
yep
so take the first and second derivatives, plug them into the differential equation, and see if you get zero
$y=2e^{-x}+3e^{-2x}\rightarrow y^{\prime }=-2e^{-x}-6e^{-2x}$
that's the most direct way
AuHasard
Is this right?
yep
$y^{\prime \prime }=2e^{-x}+12e^{-2x}$
AuHasard
And then this?
$y^{\prime \prime }+3y^{\prime}+2y=0\rightarrow \left( 2e^{-x}+12e^{-2x}\right) +3\left( -2e^{-x}-6e^{-2x}\right) +2\left( 2e^{-x}+3e^{-2x}\right)$
$2e^{-x}-6e^{-x}+4e^{-x}=0;\ 12e^{-2x}-18e^{-2x}+6e^{-2x}=0$
So we can confirm it's a solution right?
correct
yep, after you plug in and simplify you get zero, hence it's a solution

Can anyone help my figure out how to do this?
do you know where to start?
I dont 🥴
so you need to find the equations of lines tangent to y = 2 + 1/x
do you know how to find those?
I have a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with derivatives though
it does
Um, not really, I have learned it like 6 months ago but havnt seen it since
you need it here
the derivative of a function gives you another function that tells you the slope of the tangent
lets take the function y = 2 + 1/x and differentiate it
can you do that?
I dont really know where to start, its 100% different than all the other derivitives ive done
Get a derivative table up
Google should do the trick
$2 + 1/x = 2 + x^{-1}$
then its just a simple power rule
ohhhhhhh I remember that!
I almost said 1/x derivative is ln x
i never knew how to use it
I need help
ping me once you have the derivative
Im sorry im lost 😦 I only learned that formula yesterday, this is the first time im using it lol
$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1}$
Sorry im alittle math stupid, takes me a minute to learn it =/
wouldnt u just move the negative to the outside since anything to the negtive first power would jsut be itself negative?
Ugh, i suck at math lol
Ok, so I need to convert it to 2+n^-1
But how do I use that to find the trajectory of the missiles?
would I want to plug the X from the misslies into the equation?
so 1, 2, 3
that would give you slope of the line
y = mx + c
where m = dy/dx
you'll need to find c by substituting the points
So I need to put it in slope intercept form?
so m=2x+1?
why does calc make me feel so dumb lol
@analog zenith Has your question been resolved?
I dont get how I can get a trajectory off this 
Im so confused
Would I use the cords of the rocket and do Y=1+3/X and graph that?
could u point me in a direction to research?
Im super lost and really wanna get this done tonight if i can
@analog zenith Has your question been resolved?
How though? Ive never seen a question like this 😦
And see if you can find an x solution that's one of the 4
This discussion gives me no guidance and I cant find it in my ebook 😦
Bolly
Tangent equation of a function f(x), at x=a
so i need f prime to use this? so 2+x^-1?
That is not f'
oh
Id appriciate that, If I can see one done I can at least kinda grasp what its asking =/
Oh boy here we go
i did it on paper first 😦 I was just wrong
Calculate f'(1)first
Im alittle dense with math =/
Please just derivate the function
how? I was shown that I could multiply the coefficient by the power and then negate the power, but in that case it would make this 1
Remember that 1/x = x^(-1)
The only other way I know to find a derivitive is F(x+h)-f(x)/h
Sure do that if you want
How do you differentiate x²?
multiply the 2 be the coefficient, 1x and negate the power, 2x would be its derivative
What about x³?
Now what about x^(-1)?
-2
You can do it for any xⁿ
Now answer again
i didnt know that worked for a negative power
Differentiate x^-1
2 then right? cause it would end up -1+3
Why +3?
One step at a time please
differentiate x^(-1)
Brig the -1 in front and "negate" the power, what so u end up with
-1
Where'd the x go
Doesnt nagating a power of 1 remove the exponent?
What is -1 - 1
You're subtracting 1 from the exponent
so -1x^-2
Bolly
-1/x^2
Here
are all a's -1? or just f'
so f'(1)(x-1)+1?
-1
That is f'(1)
so d'(-1)(x-1)+1
function of 1?
Calculate it
calculate the function of 1?
Yes
This
wouldnt that be 0 since thre isnt an exponenct?
f(x) = 2+1/x
f(1) = 2+1/1
f(1) = ??????
3
Ok
Getting somewhere
So to recap
f'(1) = - 1
f(1) = 3
$y = f'(1) (x-1) + f(1)$
Bolly
Plug those known values here, and find the tangent equation at 1
(-1)(x-1)+3
-x+2
You made a mistake, try again
-x+4
Yes
Okay now, we know that the ennemies are on the x axis
So y = 0
So we want to know where our tangent crosses the x axis
Can you figure this one out?
Is there an ennemy at x=4?
So will the missile fired from (1,3) hit an ennemy?
yes it will
ok! thank you! appriaicte it
i have 6 hours til work so i understand haha
bombs away!
Try to plot the functions so it gives you an idea of what we have been doing
im just writting down what u told me so i wont forget it, i wont have time to finish this tonight sadly
im well into my sleep as is xD ive been on this for 3 hours lol
Just remver to find the tangent and check where it crosses the x axis

Hi, I have a cdf F(x), and have derived the quartile function F^-1(x) =Q(x). The former gives me the P(X<=x) and the latter allows me to convert a given probability value to a value, eg Q(0.5) returns the median value.
I am to plot a histogram of the distribution, with the bars representing a given interval of time (x) . If tried generating many samples via Q(rnd()) which gives a nice approximation but surely there must be a way to get a better plot?
I realise I need to somehow quantise the cdf into intervals but the details somehow elude me
so, F(x) gave the probability of something having occurred by time x; I need to histogram by-the-hour.
if I do F(n) - F(n-1) I will get the probability of the event occurring in the interval n-1 to n. Do I just use this to create the histogram directly, with width = n - (n-1) and height = F(n) - F(n-1)?

hi
Divide all the terms by the fastest growing term in the denominator
whats the fastest?
