im gonn atry that for 10 minutes and look at this problem again with a new headspace
and furthermore
you should only do steps that actually make sense to you
writing random stuff like x rad 3 = 6 is not going to help

How do you prove that in a commutative ring with no zero divisors, the characteristic is either prime or zero? The proofs I could find all assume the ring has identity
Please ping when replying
@patent nymph Has your question been resolved?
This is the part I'm stuck on, what do you do here?
stop spouting AI nonsense
if you have a (finite) commutative ring with no zero divisors it must have unity no?
also how do you even define the characteristic if you don't have a multiplicative identity ?
I think a counter example would be the ideal generated by (2) in Z_12? is a comm ring without unity that has characteristic 6? if by characteristic in a non unital ring you mean minimum n such that nk = 0 for all k
It has zero divisors
Can you explain further?
right yes
in which case i think this is true
How about the infinite case?
unsure 
Ok, thanks anyway
@patent nymph Has your question been resolved?
btw this follows by considering that x->ax is a permutation, so repeatedly applying it necessarily gives you the identity at some point

hi
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
ok so u know what a continuos and discontinuous data group is?
ok sir
they are disjoint
disjoint
?
their a gap between them
ok
e.g. 126 to 127
ok
remove the gaps
fill in the gaps
whatever u prefer
think of it a little
unless u got a test tomorrow there shouldnt be any hurry to get the answer
sir
118.5-126.5
next 127.5-135.5

Question in Linear Algebra, regarding inner product, orthogonality and projections.
The question itself is in the picture, and so is my solution attempt thus far.
I tried working with the expression down below with the given transformation, but it got me pretty much nowhere. I wonder what might I have missed or whehter there's another better way to prove this.
Hints are appreciated, not looking for the final answer
well you gotta use the transformation you have at some point
it would be nice if you find the subspace U we're projecting on to begin with
Well I tried using it directly e.g. just placing v in it and seeing how it turns out, but the expressions within the new transformed vector don't mean much to me, at least I think they don't
Hmm, wouldn't it be just any subspace? I can't assume anything about it
Ah, interesting
If I'm going to do that, I'm going to need to prove that the transformation is also U-invariant, or that the composition upon itself is itself
yeah T^2 = T
Yeah exactly
at least you'd know it's a projection (not orthogonal necessarily)
and then you could check whether it's orthogonal
I guess I can do that by finding the basis of U and its orthogonal complement and seeing that T is sending the sum to U?
Which is done directly by finding the image of the transformation etc
that would work
i have an easier idea in mind tho
nice diagram in hand
if p(x) is the orthogonal projection of x
can you say something about p(x) and x-p(x) ?
They're orthogonal
yeah
So I can just check the dot product of the basis vectors
and you want that to be true for any x
nah just plug in some arbitrary vector v=(x,y,z)
and see that that dot product is indeed 0 whatever the choice of v
Oh right that's much more straightforward
(using x as a vector and as a coord is a bit confusing lol)
Yeah I got it, it's all good
Rightio, that's done some clarification for me, I'll go ahead and do that rn
Thank you!

hello I need to solve 4cos(theta)=2 to know the limits of my integral
Is normal that I get an irrational no pi number in that
well you get an angle in radians
so, I just put +-cos^-1(1/2) as my limits
and do you know whats cos^-1(1/2)
why my calculator doesnt show me that ;-;
in degrees, arccos(1/2) is 60
since cos(60 degrees) = 1/2
you can look at a 30-60-90 right triangle to understand why thats true

Ok if a have two points A and B how would I approach creating a parabola between these two points and are there infinitely many possibilities?
ok well how would create a parabola between the two points with a equation like this ax^2-bx+c
if they're not specific then just make 2x2 system and parametrize
what do you mean by that
(i.e. substitute given points and solve for two of three variables, any)

f(z) = conjugate(z) is continuous
so how come it has no antiderivative
when 3.3.4 (a) states there must then be a derivative
or is f(z) = conjugate not continuous?
it doesn't claim existence of an antiderivative
it claims equivalence of the 3 statements
f(z) = z* fails all 3

for u substitution, do you prefer evaluating for x, or evaluating for u with no back substitution?
eval for u
it's quicker?
work is cleaner
avoids tedious additional notation to compensate
yeah
less room for error
OK thanks
@twilit reef you contributing something? i don't follow
many do it because they just came from doing indefinite integrals with substitution

I don't know how to graph the measurements... and do the said questions followed with it, I tried it a few times a gave up since the points I put down don't match up...
for each object, you have 2 attributes: inches and centimeters. this should tell you what your axes should represent
Yeah I've written that down, just don't know what numbers I should go by like: 2's, 3's, etc. To get the correct placements
theres no one correct way to do it. all that matters is that you can fit all the data in a way that looks reasonable
so you can always count how many grid squares you have and compare that to the number of units you need
Ex: if you have 10 grid squares but need to go up to 50 miles, counting by 5s would be appropriate
I know how to count the squares. What I don't get is the numbers they gave me to put on the graph...they are decimals so when I try to get the slope, it comes out to be .363....
that is a reasonable conversion rate from centimeters to inches
seems like youre on the right track
How would you get the y-intercept if the straight line wouldn't start from the 0?
well intuitively 0cm = 0in so the line should intercept the y axis very close to 0
but there will probably be a little error with your data
in that case if you know the slope of your line and one arbitrary point that it passes through (call it (x, y)), you can backtrack
y=SLOPE*x + YINTERCEPT
from the equation for a line
solve for the intercept
Hm, I think I got it now, thanks for your help!

Its apparently 3x??
Idk how Im missing an x here
oh wait
Ig I could take the integral of y'' and y' and 3
but then the xs cancel each other out
already I guess you have to plug A into yp when there is no yp present in original equation

Hey math legends, would like your help about math notations.
So let say I have a undirected graph with 3 vertices A, B, and C. And I like to define a set of edges, where vertex A is not connected(lone vertex), like when only B, and C are connected, or non of them are connected (a null graph), now I don't know how to define the set using the math notations, any thoughts? Thanks
Call the graph G, the set of vertices V, the set of edges E. So G = (V, E)
A common notation for an undirected edge between vertices u and v is (u, v)
so you could say V = {A, B, C} and E = {(B, C)}
alternatively, you could say $E = \emptyset$
srhoosteen
question: why do you need Notations™️ for this and why would a picture or verbal description not suffice
Great, so how may I define it using set/graph notations, as for instance assuming Graph G has n vertices, so I cannot come up with exact E={(B,C)}, also mind E={} works too, as a null graph.
are you solving a graph theory problem right now?
I think simply using words will suffice a lot of the time when it comes to these sorts of things (e.g. "Node A has no neighbors", or "there are no edges")
if its hard for you to come up with the notation, odds are the notation would be hard for anyone to read
graph+set theory. I'm trying to solve a problem using inclusion-exclusion principle. As given Graph G, with vertices ABC. I'm trying to find sets Ea, Eb, and Ec where vertices A,B, and C are not connected to any other vertices(lone). Like for Ea it's {(B,C)|, and {}. But I like to define it using set/graph notations, like I don't know, maybe something like "for a set where non of defined edges are connected to vertex A" maybe
...
as for instance assuming Graph G has n vertices, so I cannot come up with exact E={(B,C)}
what's this supposed to mean then
also can you please show the PROBLEM ITSELF exactly as it's stated? cause i'm confused
For simplicity, example comes with 3 vertices, so it's easy to find those edge sets where in each one a specific vertex come isolated/lone. But what if we consider size of vertices as n, not 3, what now
Im sorry, okay let say we have 3 cities(like vertices A,B, and C), and we like to build roads between them somehow non of them become isolated/lone(at-least connected to one). Now using inclusion-exclusion principle, finding how many(the count) possible ways we could set up those edges between those vertices.
I know I have to find Ea, Eb, and Ec edge sets, which each one includes edge-sets that make a specific vertex isolated, like Ea = { {(B,C)} , {} }, just need to know how to define those sets using set/graph notations
so your problem reads as follows:
How many ways are there to connect 3 cities with a road network such that no city is isolated?
did i get that right? yes or no
Yes
Probably yes, but I'm thinking if we stick with connected graphs only. so yes
... ???
"but I'm thinking if we stick with connected graphs only" does not make any sense to me as a sentence
I know it's bad, but I also asked some AI/gpt out there, and it suggested something like following
{ S ⊆ E : A ∉ S and for all (u, v) ∈ S, neither u nor v is A }
DO NOT USE CHATGPT FOR MATH.
especially not with the phrasings you've been using, which are hard even for a HUMAN to understand, let alone a chatbot.
i mean ok like
I'm sorry.
heres the thing with "notations"
i think youre overly attached to the idea that math is about manipulating symbols on a page
when it... isnt
what you've got here is a counting problem
so you should care less about how to formally write down the things you're counting
and more about how to count them
Yes I understand, and I'm sorry for confusing you. Guess I'm going to practice more, and study more counting problems in detail then.
Really appreciate your time, math bless you.

help
wdym by "possible"?
do you mean "Does there exist at least one x such that this is true?"
or "Is this true for all x?"
no like am i allowed to do this
so that means your question is "Is this true for all x?"
the answer is no, it is not
Asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem
this is the question im doing
yes, i understand.
i was expressing my frustration at the fact that you said something related-ish but only tangentially
you overabstracted
anyway have you made any progress on this so far?
(it does not)
expand the fraction? as in break it into the sum of two fractions?
mb seperate
yeah, no, that doesn't help.
have you considered that
a. cos(3pi/2) is an easily calculable/recallable value
b. cos(3pi/2 + h) may be expanded with the angle sum formula cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)?
yes
or if you can arrive at cos(3pi/2 + h) = sin(h) by other means you can do that too
2 ez👍

How do i find the maximum value of sin^4(x)+cos^4(x)
you could think about the nature of sin and cos
they are periodic, and always between -1 and 1
you could consider
a^2 + b^2 = (a+b)^2 - 2ab
tried that but im stuck at
1-sin2x cosxsinx
idk how to move forward from here
seems you did something that went against you
Most likely yeah
forget the double angle identnties
ok
for the max, you'd want to be subtracting the least non-negative value if possible
(which is 0)
okay
and are there values of x where
sin^2(x)cos^2(x) is 0?
so that will basically give me -1
wait that sounds wrong lol
no wait
it gives me 1
my bad
ohk it makes sense

2^3.7
Just wanna see how you guys think this situation
what's the goal
To think like you do
At this point, i cant calculate it, so i put it in the calculator
What are you looking for here?
i cant calculate it
Yeah I also know that but book says 12.996..
So why cant you use a calculator?
And I get 13.6
There are approximation techniques
I did use calculator
But yet again they are just approximations
How would you do this
What class are you in? Jw so i can find the best one to explain
University
The class
I think I’m doing it wrong basically thinking that I could do 8*1.7
I wonder what way is best to think
thats not really how exponentiation works
youre trying to linearly interpolate between 8 and 16 by doing that
which is not a bad approach for an approximation
but its only an approximation
How would you do it
in my head i did 2^(3+0.7) = 2^3 * 2^0.7 which is approximately 8 * sqrt(2) which is aproximately 8*1.5 which is aproximately 12
i would just do a taylor series of 2^x
taylor series is probably a bit too advanced tho
Wow thank you
but there are a lot better methods if you take the time, if you are just thinking about how to do it in head this is one way i guess
I still dont understand why approximate though
^
Also you need to approximate ln2
Yeah u can like Taylor it and manually calculate up to 5 terms or something
But again
Why LOL
ln(2) = 0. funny number = 0.69
But then you need to calculate 3.7^5/120
so 2^0.7 is a out 1.1^5
To learn
which is 1.61051
you could also do lagrange interpolation
so 8*1.61051 ≈ 12.88...
$2^{3.7} = 2^3 \cdot 2^{0.7} = 8 \cdot 2^{0.5} \cdot 2^{0.2} \approx 8 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{\sqrt{2}} \approx 8 \cdot 1.4 \cdot 1.2 = 13.44$
heavy0201
You got too into this 😆
hahah yeah
To be honest, any approximations for exponents either involve natural log or another unwieldy exponent
Still dont know what class youre in
doing e^anything by hand is very nasty
Wym by class
Like calc 1 or smthn
I have no clue
e^anything isnt that bad
Ok thats fine
its the easiest exponent
e^real is bad by hand
2^x = 1 + xln(2) + x^2ln(4)/2 + ...?
doing any power series where x isn't <0.05 by hand is probably going to be awful
U sure bout that one
2^x = 1 + xln(2) + x^2ln^2(2)/2 + ...
ah right

Sqrt(2)^6
because they followed what you suggested
by removing 2 out of 6 , if i'm interpretting this correctly then you mean to write 6 as 2 * 3 ?
No I meant subtract
Sqrt(2)^6 = ((2)^1/2)^6
and how would you do that
im sure you could do it that way
lets just say y=sqrt(2)^6
I always that exponent two get rid of sqrt
sure thing, thats why its always nice to check if you can write the exponent as a multiple of 2, but we can also try your subtraction shenanigans
Thing is it wouldn’t work since I get a diffrent answer
you should get 8 regardless of how you do it, using rules of indices with this, 'subtracting 2' from the exponent by dividing both sides by (sqrt(2)^2)
posting your work would be useful :P
im not sure how (sqrt(2))^6 = 2^4,
and under that you have the correct answer?
No under that are diffrent calculations to diffrent questions
The one under is a diffrent question
the (-27)^(1/3)?
No haha the one above it

They are different!!’ 😭
Ya
I know but they are diffeent
this
yes but you should be able to use common sense to apply it to your question
sqrt(a) = a^(1/2)
use that with exp rules
$\sqrt(2^6) = (2^6)^1/2$
justapresence
{} around the half
What made you get this
Supposed to be power of one half
Like what was the thought process
Meaning whatever exponential number it would reduce to half?
Could it also be written as 2^6.5?
Why do I have that and not 6.5
And you can use power rules to calculate
When you take the power of a power you dont add the power
Ok hold let me take picture
Curly brackets 😉
also \cdot instead of *
Wait so. Sqrt(x) = x^0.5 but sqrt(x^6) = x^0.5)^6 ?
no, sqrt(x^6) = (x^6)^(1/2)
Ugh
Scroll up to the exponent rules and look at 'power of a power'
Ya I know but I see still as 6.5
You multiply the powers instead of adding them
Yes but why is it multiply
Thats the rule when you take a power of a power
I think it’s the product rule or it’s stuck to my head
If its easier, you can evaluate 2^6 first then take the square root of the answer
2^a * 2^b = 2^(a+b)
(2^a)^b = 2^(ab)
For a square root yes

Hi I have a question with this.
I thought it was a discriminant question but I'm getting stuck
Heres what I have - a= 1, b=x and c=1
so the value of b^2-4ac should be less than 0
so thats b^2 - 4 = something less than 0
no, b is b, b isn't x
b^2 - 4 < 0

trying to figure out the last one
i thought it would have been n(A) = 5 x 4 **x 2 x 1 **x 3 x 2 x 1 but it just equals the same as the second one
the answer has to be 720
says who
my teacher lmao

"teachers on both sides of the pic" is a little vague
you and i would read that as TSSSSST
which is 5! * 2 as you correctly calculated
yeah I haven't learned about doing stuff like 5! yet, the teacher wants it in this specific way
<@&286206848099549185> any one else able to help?
What is the question?
the students can be arranged in 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 ways
the teachers can be arranged in 2 ways
there are 3 choices for which two of the three middle slots the teachers are in
120 * 2 * 3 is 720

so basically for this question
should I explain the claim like the rough work for it
something like this
because I feel like the reader might be confused idk
@undone aurora Has your question been resolved?
generally in proofs like this you wouldn't include your rough work
you would pretend that the formula came to you in a dream or something

Question in linear algebra. I'm having a bit of trouble in concluding the first point.
I can understand that there is a natural k such that (T-Id)_k = 0, hence it's the minimal polynomial of T-Id, but what can it possibly tell me about the characteristic polynomial of T?
The char-pol of a nilpotent endomorphism is known
Use it to deduce the char-pol of T (||using the definition||)
@slate pond Has your question been resolved?
Oh I see, so it would actually be (x+1)^n where n is the dimension of V
Or I'm saying completely false stuff?
X(T-Id) = x^n
X(T-Id)(lambda) = det(T - Id - lambda Id) = det(T-(lambda+1)Id) = X(T)(lambda+1)
Hence x^n = X(T)(x+1), so X(T)(x) = (x-1)^n
You should expect that since 0 is a eigenvalue of T-Id, so 1 is an eigenvalue of T, so (x-1) is a factor of its charpol
Right, precisely, and not only it's a factor, it's the only factor

dy/dx just means a negative slope at the point

Read #❓how-to-get-help for further information on how to ask a good question, and about conduct in the question channels.
right
so u've already solved it?
I cant decide which one
because idk how to use the info that second statement is telling me
this
i dont think the statement that question gave can be useful
and accroding to the graph
C is wrong
B might be wrong,but it's the most likely to be right
A should be right
that because u,or the question,dont give me any expression
the question doesnt give one
but the rate of change of the rate of change doesnt have to be negative too
but if we know dy/dx is negative that means that the slop at the point has to be negative I thought?
yes
but what dy/dx is now wont have any impact on the second derivative
who?the answer?
o sry,i dont mention that 'and'
its ok
that,B is the only answer to this question
nothing
I do have another one I am stuck on
Not continuous on B and G right?
B because of the straight up and down
and G because of the split
continuous?
yes
not derivable right?
hum,i'd say,even it requests that it should be derivable,B is ALSO qualified
A continuous function is a mathematical function that has no abrupt jumps, holes, or interruptions in its graph. More formally, a function f(x) is continuous at a point x = c if the following conditions are satisfied:
f(c) is defined (the value of the function at x = c exists).
The limit of f(x) as x approaches c exists.
The value of the function at x = c is equal to the limit of f(x) as x approaches c.
and,accroding to the definition
f(c) would be undefined in B right because of the straight line?
this,ofc
A vertical line occurs when there is a value of x for which the function is not defined or has an infinite value. This creates a break in the graph and violates the conditions of continuity.
Right?
no,whether a function is defined on a point or not has nothing to do with the tangent line
yes,ur right
so B IS continuous
B looks continuous
oh shoot
and D isnt
yes
all differentiable functions are continuous but not all continuous functions are differentiable
how can I determine the second deriv from a single line?
what?
'a single line' u mean the original function or?
yes
based off each function given, I need to find if its second derivative is positive at the point
what you’re confused about is the vertical line being an asymptote, the graph shows a vertical tangent not an asymptote
are you familiar with concavity?
yes and no
I get the difference
but idk how to apply it in a practical sense here
A and E
the 2nd derivative test tells you whether the function is concave up or down depending on the sign of f’’(a)
B D G and H are all nondifferentiable at the point x=a
C and F,u can clearly see that their dy/dx are decreasing
don’t just give the answers, explain your thought process
else you’re not helping
this looks right
that’s one half
the first derivative is < 0 on the interval (0,3)
what’s your explanation for this^
undefined at x=6
and the hollow circle adds a point of discontinuity
how do I incorperate the last limit?
as we go to infinity y approaches 2?
Im so lost
undefined means there’s a VA (vertical asymptote) at x = 6
also because the graph approaches +- infinity approaching x=6 from either side
as x goes to infinity, y reaches 2, meaning there’s a horizontal asymptote at y=2
this is almost correct, the y-value has to be 2
sorry i’m a bit busy rn, can’t give more detailed explanations
I am stull so confused
i’ll translate it into plain english:
• f(x) is continuous of the interval (0,6) and (6, inf), this one should be self explanatory
• f(x) is not differentiable on x = 3 meaning the derivative is undefined at x = 3 so there is probably a kink at x = 3
• f’(x) < 0 on (0,3) meaning the function is decreasing on (0,3) i.e. y-value is decreasing-going downwards
• f’’(x) > 0 on (3,6) meaning the function is concave up on that interval
• first limit: as we approach 6 from the left side, the function goes toward positive infinity
• second limit: as we approach 6 from the right side, the function goes toward negative infinity
• third limit: as x heads toward positive infinity, the y-value reaches 2

hello, could someone help solve this problem?
I was thinking of using monvariants but I didn't succeed in finding a suitable one
um
u know what neighbouring refers to? do diagonal count?
it doesn't even start spreading
try starting out with a few squares
try a 4x4 grid
then see if you notice any patterns
also does the question mean "for any starting combination will all 100 burn"?
since starting positioning seems to be the key
obviously

okay I'll try it
it doesn't progress
oh
that means that the squares that are neighbours to the red square are those in black?
no, i'm assuming diagonals are not neighbours
nope it does not progress
:((
anyways thanks a lot for your help @obtuse radish @dark kiln @dim prairie
this mostly burns
but not entirely
if diagonals are neighbours, then clearly it burns

Hello! I was able to solve the equation using a graphing calculator (answers are -4pi/3, -pi/3, 2pi/3, and 5pi/3), but i dont know how I would go about solving it algebraically. How would I do that?
It's kinda just about knowing the special ratios
but is there a way to solve it for x values that yield the negative square root of 3?
like how you can solve for the zeroes of a polynomial
can you do that?
and if you don't mind, I understand how the ratios are important, but how can they be used to find good x values here?
The original -> sin x = -sqrt(3) cos x
Think abt the special ratios x which make this true
so is it just finding the number of radians (from -2pi to 2pi) that will put you at (-1/2, 2sqrt(3)/2) on the unit circle?
or (1/2, -2sqrt(3)/2)
that does explain why the answers were all pi apart from each other. I mean, I understand that the tan function has asymptotes that are pi apart from each other so it already makes sense that the answers would be pi apart
yeah you have to know your unit circle
but this just gives it another reason
i see
I think I get it now
tysm both of you!! enjoy your day!!

$300.a$=$b^3$
find the smallest positive natural a value and it's b if a and b is natural.
ajax4074
this is translated so it might sound a little weird but let me clarify that it doesn't want b to be positive number as well it just needs to be natural.
i tried replacing the options:
12
15
25
30 and
45
well i have just tried 12
but what i want to ask is is there a way to find if a number can be written as another's cube
ok
To make it a power of 3 you need one more 10 and two more 3's
what do you mean by 'one more'?
im trying to see if 3600 can be written in 'cubic(?)' form by the way
a=90, b=30
well i got the asnwers i cant get there tho you see
You want all powers to be multiplies of 3 to make it a cube
Of all prime factors
you already have 10^2 * 3
ok makes sense
no im trying to
$300 \cdot a = 10^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot a$
cain0196
oh yeah
is this equation, this?
if so, i got it till here
I mean, for $a=10^1 \cdot 3^2$ you get $300 \cdot a = 10^3 \cdot 3^3$
cain0196
i dont see
if i give a, a value then there's no a left
in the equation
am i misunderstanding what you mean by a= 10^1. 3^2 perhaps?
True, $300 \cdot a = 10^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot a = 10^3 \cdot 3^3$
cain0196
oh the 300 was missing i suppose
well,
now it has become 10^2 ?
what was before 10^1
wait nevermind what i said there
but can you explain how the rhs (far right) is equal to 10^2. 3.a ?
bc 10.10 .3.a = 300a = 1000.27 ?
so 27000
you give a = 3^3 then?
no
sorry i missed one 0 also
what's the value of a?
here
solve for a
$a = 10 \cdot 3^2 = 90$
cain0196
90
yeah i was calculating didnt see that you've already told
did we give a=90 or figured it out?
Figured it out
what are we doing basically
Let's do another one
$50 a = b^5$
cain0196
$50 = 5^2 * 2$
2.5.5
cain0196
Now we want all powers to be multiplies of 5
So we want to get $5^5 \cdot 2^5$ for this we need $a=5^3 \cdot 2^4$
cain0196
yeah yeah
okay
we had 1, 2 already needed to multiply it by itself 4 more times and same for 5
yes
good
third step?
oh
cain0196
@granite wing Is that clear?
ooh
yes
i just wrote it to see that
so the same for 300
let me try one sec
wait we already did it right?
Yes, maybe I was lazy and wrote 10 instead of 5 * 2
But we did it
You should use primes though!
oh i suppose thats why i got 300 hm
why did we have to use primes again?
did you say that already?
let me check
Otherwise... you can't count on the powers
For instance 300 = 100* 3
And then you may try multiplying by 100^2 * 3^2
which isn't the smallest a
hmm
?
well got this
right
did we change it later on?
you mean 3* 10^2?
but that's still the same
nope
10 isnt prime either so i thought we'd have the same case?
10 isn't prime but it gives the right result
Because all it's prime factors are to the power of 1
10 = 2*5
so we can use it
oh this is new to me
Don't use 10
then i'd use many more numbers?
cain0196
is that one of the reasons why we used 10?
we need 3 more 2's, 3 more 5's and 2 more 3's
Umm, we used 10 because I was lazy
It's not the best practice
The best practice is to go with the prime factorization
ahaha thats what you said beforee ok now i understand what you meant
all right
why do i get it 10?
ugh
what do you mean?
a= 2.5.3^3 right?
by here
3^2
(2.5.3)^3= b^3 then?
i still get the wrong answer
im too mathed its 2 am for me
i'll blame that factor
but since i get 30 here
then im missing a ^2 somewhere i suppose
...
2 AM is time to go to bed

Hello anyone know what's the point of dy/dx = 0 helps for ?
I do found my after integrals d²y/dx² is 2x² + c
helps you remove arbitrary constants
Yeah, that helps solve for the +c
after you integrate again you'll get another constant
each of the conditions fixes 1 of the constants
So 2x² + c = 0
no
Integrals again ?
just when x = 0
the derivative at x = 0 is 0
so plug in 0 into the derivative and set it equal to 0
formally this is an IVP involving second order diffy q's
and you need two initial values to be able to fully solve it
Ah okay solved it thanks u too

nope as A^t not equal to A
Can cos couldn't digest minus in Matrix?
the minus is with the cos, cos would digest the minus of the angle
if thetha was negative then cos(thetha) would the positive

@dry forge Has your question been resolved?
the degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest order differential in the equation
this equation has first, and second derivatives
so the largest of those, is the second derivative
so it would be a 2nd order equation
