is there any other way I could approach this?
yes
maybe we can try finding the non shaded part
square - 4 corners + quartercircle = 2 non shaded part
check me on that
I'm not too sure
The solution is pretty complicated, see here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2468453/quarter-circle-and-circle-inscribed-in-square
i also have another idea
lets say we name the small pieces left x1 and x2 what's left from the corner. then the total area of the square would be shaded+corner +2x2 + notshaded+2x1+corner
notshaded = circle - shaded , and that removes shaded from the equation
lol i was wrong
squre - qcircle = corner + x + 2z
circle - qcircle = x - (corner + 2(corner-z)) = x - 3corner + 2z
qcircle + x = 2z + corner
where z is the small piece
idk these are the only equation I could come up with but It is likely one of these is just a rearrangement of the other leading to infinitey many solutions

how come the derivative is taken differently in these cases?
heres the original problem im working with for the 1st picture btw
yes
i mean these are different functions arent they lmao
but now I understand since you've put it that way
but n is an unknown
so I got confused
n is constant

Technical question
Do you know a decent online tool for solid geometry?
I can't find any on my own =(
I believe geogebra is good for graphing in $R^3$ if that's what you mean
physicsrocks
I was looking more for a tool for doing 3d diagrams.
wdym, you mean lines in 3d or more like pyramids, sphere, or a CAD tool?
GeoGebra can also do 3D
I was recently trying to solve some problems about solids, especially cuboids and their diagonals. The tool I was looking for would be for getting a diagram of a solid and some lines in 3d.
Yeah, geogebra can do tha and much more
I'll try this, thanks
for instance, I just did this using geogebra , I'm assuming you want to do somthing simlar (To the cube), for instance
That would be perfect
thanks again

Earlier I asked this question:
Given all of the roots of a quadratic equation (in its basic form) and the value of Δ , is it possible to find at least one set of values for a, b, c , for which the equation is true?
I was instructed to use Vieta's formulas, but I don't know how they could fit into the solution.
Do you even need Δ if you already have the roots?
yeah sounds like redundant info
expand a(x-r)(x-s), where:
- r and s are the roots
- a is your favorite number, or 42069 if you can't decide, or 1 if you're boring.
that'll get you your coefficients.
Is that really it?
sure is.
why the time emojis im confused
probably trying to spell 42069 with them
average redditor comedy
I'll go with 31415
sure is
I have just one more question: HOW do I expand this to include b and c ?
comparing coefficients
Can you link me to anything explaining this? After "the distributive law"went through a translator, it was complete nonsense.
what language are you translating into?
Polish. I just have a hard time matching conjecture/theorem/ ect. names.

ann, I didn't ask, if r and s are the roots, what is x then?
Now I feel really dumb, can we go 1/10 of a step at a time?
do you have concrete numbers for r, s and D
i just realized that the discriminant is in fact not redundant like i claimed earlier
No, I wanted a general solution, also D means delta?
it means discriminant, whichever way you like best to denote it.
the key idea is: the equation a(x-r)(x-s) = 0 has solutions x=r and x=s.
therefore it is the equation you're looking for, except it is in the wrong form.
And here comes my question, How do I get b and c from this, since from what I know the distributive law does not touch this topic even once?
??? you literally have a product here that you can (& should) distribute
(x-r)(x-s) = x^2 - rx - sx + rs
= x^2 - (r+s)x + rs
That's quite logical, but how can I get b and c from this? (if my questions seem dumb, that's because I learned about this topic just from casual research)
i have to go to sleep now sorry

yoo
connect TR
I find distance between Tr?
yep
you slice the shape into triangles
and heron's formula
hit that up on google
what is heron formula
it's a formula where you can calculate the area of a triangle using the three sides of them
instead of a base and height

(x,y,z)
shouldnt the z coordinate reflect the distance from z axis?
and distance cannot be negative
correct?
How did my question go in but was not ever assigned by the bot. It's all red text/
network issue?
No, the z coordinate represents the height/altitude wrt the plane z = 0 (or xy plane)
oh i see now
Ah, the red text signifies it did not go through. Okay, sorry for the interruption. Thank You.

simple question: starting statistics, wanna know what the actual difference of the average and mean is. am i overthinking it? i know how to calc both but in this case apparently it's different i've been told.
There are different types of mean but the one you are most familiar with is called the arithmetic mean
This is the one where you sum up all terms and then divide by the number of terms
This is also usually considered the average
However average also has different meanings
Sometimes, the median is considered the average or the mode is, but those tend to not be used as often
there are different types of means, idk if you me to get into them
could i give you a scenario? I think i'm referring to the sample mean based on what i've looked up
however i can't tell if a sample mean and average by definition are the same
You're asking about the difference between the sample mean and the population mean
Aren't you?
$$\overline{X}\neq \mu$$
Categorist
no, not really, i haven't gotten into population mean yet, but i know a sample mean is a portion of the population one
but that may be helpful. let me phrase it this way
if a teacher receives 5 quiz scores going 100,100,100,0,0, the mean score is 60; i agreed with this
if the same quiz is given to a second class of 5 and the scores go 60,60,58,62,60, wouldn't the mean score still be 60?
Yes
ok, in that case then to calc the mean you don't just divide by the sample size but by the whole population one
or both are just 60 so i can't say that
hold on
Why not?
(100+100+100+0+0)/5=60
And also (60+60+58+62+60)/5=60
They both have an arithmetic mean of 60
ok now i see where i'm getting confused
In this case, your sample means are the two classes separately, the population mean would be the whole school
ok, let me just confirm this then;
-
the sample mean would be the same as the average (or arithmetic mean, if they would be synonyms?)
-
to calculate said mean, you just add up all terms and divide by sample size (so just arithmetic mean again)
These are two means which are coincidentally equal
Arithmetic mean is the act of taking the sum of the numbers you are working with and dividing by the number of numbers you are working with
For example, the arithmetic mean of the four numbers 5, 10, 16, and 1 is
(5+10+16+1)/4=32/4=8
Yes, sample mean and population mean are both arithmetic means
Sample mean refers to a subset of the population you are working with
ah so the sample mean is just a fancy term for average of a sample data set
For example, taking the average height of people in china is a sample mean
the whole world would be population
Yes, in statistics is not that common to use the term "average". We say mean or arithmetic mean when we want to emphasize. "Average" is correct but more natural speech
Statisticians love vocabulary hahaha

help with this please
If Q is the mid point of PR then 2QR=PR
2x+18=5x+9
What is a midpoint?
Solve for x
thats it?
Ye
alr ty
It’s the point in the middle of a segment
x is 3 right?
No
I wanted them to answer so as not to give them the answer without them understanding what they were doing
Oh sorry thought you asked for it
2x+18=5x+9 = - 2x on both sides = 18=3x+9 - subtract 9 - 9= 3x - devide by 3, x = 3
so x = 3?
Yes
Because you solved for x but didn't find the length
What how !??
It wanted the length
Of QR
So you plug in 3 for into x + 9
To find the value of QR

hi
I don't understand how they've used the binomial expression here?
you can do
1 - Pr(10) - Pr(11)
because there’s 2 outcomes
either yes (76%) or no (24%)
and the trials are independent of one another
X~Bi(11, 76)
so we can say this is binomially distributed
sooo my use here is incorrect?
this is the formul
what you have done only accounts for P(X=10)
you need to consider P(X=11)
so you can do: 1 - Pr(X=10) - Pr(X=11)
because Pr(X<10) = 1 - Pr(X>=10)

How do you derange identical objects like in this question
@sick owl Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
N(6)/2 where
N(m) means number of rearrangements of 1,2,…,m having no fix point
Which can be calculated by
Inclusion-exclusion principle
Can we not solve by D6 minus(some things)??
$N(m)=\sum_{k=0}^{m}(-1)^{k}\binom{m}{k}(m-k)!=m!(\sum_{k=0}^{m}\frac{(-1)^{k}}{k!}$
Cogwheels of the mind
I don’t know what D_6 is
this is what d6 is
6!(1-1/1! + 1/2! - 1/3!....1/6!)
But we use that when we don't want anyone on its original place right?
Here there are two 'A's
Oh I know what the issue is wait a second
First viewing two A as A1 and A2, you have D_6 many
Back to two A, there are forbidden cases counted
Like A_2 under A_1
Yes excatly
So minus (5!+5!-4!)
Is the answer
The thing in the parentheses is
N(A_2 under A_1)+N(A_1 under A_2)-N(A_2 under A_1 also A_1 under A_2)
So fixing any one?
265-240+24=49
So D_6 minus it
Answer is given 84
I dont get it
Are we subtracting case where we keep one A on its own place?
Or one A always on ANOTHER A ?
Shit i miscalculated
Should be
I forgot when A_2 is under A_1, other elements still have no fix point
Wait a min
Ye
Hey can you do me a favor
Can you calculate D_5 and D_4 for me
I am checking my answer
Correct now
:D
(D_6-D_4)/2 -D_5
Okay so it should be
So for now when we say an arrangement we mean an arrangements of A_1,A_2, BHRT having no fix points
So D_6 many arrangements
What we are looking for is
N(arrangements such that A_2 is not under A_1, and A_1 is not under A_2)/2
=(N(arrangements)-N(A_1 under A_2 or A_2 under A_1))/2
Alr
Looks too long,
Wait
Say p: A_1 under A_2
q: A_2 under A_1
No. What we are looking for is (N(not p and not q))/2
Why /2?
Because given an arrangement, having no A_2 under A_1, no A_1 under A_2, we need to view A_1 and A_2 as same A again
Right right my bad
Continue
yes
=(D_6-N(p and q)-N(p and not q)-N(q and not p))/2
Got it
Now N(p and q)=N(A_2 under A_1 and A_1 under A_2)=D_4
N(p and not q)=N(q and not p)=number of cases where exactly one A is under A, other five elements having no fix point=D_5
So together
(D_6-D_4-2D_5)/2
Understood 👍
👍
Thanks a lot mate!
Np
You be big brain

aysob_ay212
then you wanna find out the pair of numbers which multiply to ac and add to b
in this case what mulitplies to -3 and adds to -6
unfortunately there is no nice number so we will resort to the quadratic formula
nope
can you apply this to the quadratic formula?
remember that for pq the coefficient of x^2 has to be 1
aysob_ay212
you want to find what multiplies to ac
and adds to b
the coefficients
then you could factorise by grouping
(this is vieta and is basically just educated guessing)
a = 3, b = -6, c = -1
didn't know it was called vieta, interesting
anyways, we will use the quadratic formula (we should only use this method as a last resort)
$(-b +- \sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a$
bruh
$\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
Denascite
thank u
or pq but again remember that for pq the coefficient of x^2 needs to be 1
$\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(-1)}}{2(3)}$
aysob_ay212
which part
$-\frac p 2 \pm \sqrt{\left(-\frac p 2\right)^2-q}$
do you understand this
Denascite
maybe denascite can help you with this because i don't understand their method
and you do
pq is for x^2+px+q=0
and?
then p=something negative
but first we need to divide by 3
so x^2-2x-1/3=0
now p=-2
q=-1/3
and now plug in
the imaginary second lol
yes
although lets get used to writing a closed form
instead of just throwing it into a calculator
the minus before the 1 should be gone
(-1)^2 is 1
wait something is wrong here
1 +- sqrt(4/3)
or 1+-2/sqrt3
you're welcome

i just know that as identity
this one is simpler
what u can do here
is take sum of squares till 144
then subtract 2 times sum of squares of even numbers
to find that just take 4 common from each term
so for even terms
2^2+4^2+6^2.....
u can rewrite as
4(1^2+2^2+3^2...)
and apply formula again
it does
its due to practice and observation tbh
because you have to use whats given
and its not directly applicable here
so u have to manipulate
the summation

In the final step, how do you get from t^4 = -2 to t = -1 on the right side? Because if I try to 4 √-2 I get a domain error
how do you get from t^4 = -2 to t = -1
you do not
you acknowledge that t^4 = -2 has no real solutions, while t^4 = 1 is responsible for both t=1 and t=-1

Define:
Use induction to show that:
First(1) we prove n=1 that s_1=1/2 = 1 - 1/2
Then we assume that its true for any k wich means that s_k = 1- 1/2^k
But im really wondering about this:
Which is included in the solution, how do they arrive at this? And how do i solve the question?
if s_n is the sum of 1/2^i for i = 1 to n
then s_(n+1) is the sum of 1/2^i for i = 1 to n+1, which is just the previous sum with an extra term
yes
\begin{align*}
s_n&=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{2^n}\
s_{n+1}&=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{2^n}+\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\
s_{n+1}&=\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{2^n}\right)+\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\
s_{n+1}&=s_n+\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}
\end{align*}
Desync
Ok, that makes sense I supose
replace s_n with the induction hypothesis
and try rearrange the expression into 1-(1/2^{n+1})
ok, but why does s_n = 1 - 1/2^n dissapear
what do you mean
Yeah idk, the question was stupid
If we continue with the calculations
how do we arrive at s_n = 1 - 1/2^n
you showed it holds for the base case n=1
yes
you assume it holds for arbitrary n in the second part
that's how induction works
we want to show s_{n+1} = 1 - 1/(2^{n+1})
use this, and replace s_n by 1 - 1/2^n
and try rearrange it into this
ok, so we replace s_n before our fraction on the right side because s_n is equal to 1 - 1/2^n which is given to us in the task
Phil
right @round plover ?
apart from the broken exponent yes
you've already used it
Yeah, im asking in general
you replaced s_n by 1 - 1/(2^n)
Yeah
yes
ok, good
I will do some work on my own, thank you so much
actually @round plover, sorry to bother you but i have a few questions about some basic calculation
okay
multiply top and bottom by 2
2k*2 = 2k+1???
\begin{align*}
\frac{1}{2^k}&=\frac{1}{2^k}\times\frac{2}{2}\
&=\frac{2}{2^k\times2}\
&=\frac{2}{2^{k+1}}
\end{align*}
Desync
and yes, think about what an exponent means
2^k is 2 * 2 * ... * 2 k times
so if you multiply it by 2 again, it's k+1 many 2s being multiplied
so it's 2^(k+1)
can you write that with more brackets
yes
I don't know what that expression is exactly
$$ 1-frac{2}{2^{k+1}} + 2^(k+1) $$
Phil
Yeah, how does it get removed
we only ever use it in the denominator of a fraction
I still have 2 / 2(k+1)
\begin{align*}
s_{n+1}&=s_n+\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\
&=\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{n}}\right)+\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\
\end{align*}
Desync
do you follow this

Can anyone help me solve this?
What the heck
LOL thats what I said
and its supposed to be "review from last semester" Ik damn well we aint learn dat
I have never seen limit problems like that in my life
its quite straightforward really
lim x->inf e^(-x) = 0
once you know that it should be easy
here's a hint if you don't get why that's useful: ||divide the numerator and denominator by e^x||
wym by this... can I show you how I did it and you can tell me if i'm wrong
yeah go ahead
nebula40
yes just apply (a^x)/(a^y) = a^(x-y) to get what I just wrote
ahh okay, I got it, thank you!!
how do I go about solving this one?
$= x(3 - 7 \frac{\ln(x)}{x})$
nebula40
you need to know/prove that lim x->inf (ln(x))/(x) = 0
I have to go now, so if you still have any questions someone else can answer them
how did you get to this
just take out the x?
Can someone help me with this

<@&286206848099549185>
(b) is consistent, because you get a contradiction (nonzero value equals 0)
But that's not the case for (a)
It might help if you write down an example of such a matrix, and convert it into a system of equations.
to add to this, remember that only the last column of an augmented matrix is constant
the others are coefficients of your variables

Having issues figuring out how I should go about plotting and creating the graph here
Huntifer
you've dropped a minus on the left
then you should have -1 on the right
your second equation looks good
Would it be more effective to not multiply by negative one then and leave y as a negative
?
Or do you have to
But anyways so it should actually be
$y\ge-1+4x$
Huntifer
I normally replace inequalities with equalities to avoid having to think about this kind of thing
to just find the boundary lines for the required region
then figure out which way the inequality should have pointed (by sampling points if it's not clear from inspection)
just look at 4x - y = 1
rearrange that easily to 4x - 1 = y
then figure out if any of the manipulations would have flipped anything afterwards
or sample points; for instance, plugging in (0,0) into the original inequality gives 4*0 - 0 <= 1 which is satisfied
so the origin is on the required side of the line y= 4x - 1
Yeah
That makes sense
And you can see 4x means that its a positive slope if you're thinking of it as y=mx+b
Then plugging (0,0) or a point in the accepted region lets you test it
I was just forgetting the sign flip thing
yeah, you can always check it after and just use =s during the rearranging

How do I find the question for area of rectangle
if you put the vertical lines at x = a and x = -a
what is the area of the rectangle?
?
What’s the a
anything
try it with x = 1 first
but get a formula for the area for arbitrary values of a
Ngl I have no idea what ur trying to say..
ok try it with x = 1 first
see the vertical blue lines? those are at x = 1 and x = -1
what's the area of the rectangle?
Or horizontal length?
1?
9?
Nine
where did you get 9
From the formula of the parbola
how high is the point in red?
how high is the point in blue?
Yo me it looks like blue is 1 and red is 1.5
As a rough estimate
i'm not looking for a rough estimate here
how would you even make a rough estimate?? the y axis isn't labeled
I thought a = 1 = xcould be anything
okay, that was partially my fault; we're not using a for right now. we're trying to evaluate one specific rectangle
the blue point and the red point are both on the parabola
Am I just overthinking this and it’s easy
Cause forming the equation is the only hard part of optimisation
often that is the hardest part yes
Do u just substitute 1 and 0 as x to find y which is the height
the red dot doesn't even really matter for us, it's the blue dot that matters
so yes we can put x=1 into the eqn to find the height which is y
I got 8,75
yes great
so what about arbitrary x? what's the formula for the area of the rectangle for any x, not specifically 1?

Have you tried induction? Where are you stuck? @chilly pawn
Just use x^mdx=(1/(m+1))d(x^(m+1)) to obtain a recursive relation I(m,n)=(1/(m+1))((In(x)^n)x^(m+1)-nI(m,n-1))
Until n reduces to 0
@chilly pawn Has your question been resolved?
@chilly pawn Has your question been resolved?
guys but is there a easier way of doing this? im finding hard to understand
I have a question is ax = b (mod n) equal to x = b (mod n).
Because I saw from a different source that 11m + 4 = 3 (mod 5) => 11m = -1 (mod 5) => m = -1 (mod 5).
I dont understand the 1/m+1 from where did it came btw
this way of you differentiating by dx^m+1 is fabulous but Idont understand where the 1/m+1 came from btw
<@&286206848099549185>
It's just a constant from when you differentiate x^m+1
why and how ;w;
is this enough to prove that is necessary to use integration by parts n times? I thought about using induction
The question itself is phrased strangely imo
yeah true, now I realized
im still analyzing cogwheels picture, one sec
Like how would you prove that IBP n times is necessary
It probably just means 'do it/show it can be done' that way
If I were to elaborate on Cogwheels of the mind's hint:
Let (u = (\ln x)^n) and (dv = x^m dx). Then (du = n (\ln x)^{n-1} \frac{1}{x} dx) and (v = \frac{1}{m+1} x^{m+1}).
The integral becomes
[\frac{1}{m+1} x^{m+1} (\ln x)^n - \frac{n}{m+1} \int x^m (\ln x)^{n-1} dx.]
Observe that the integral term (\int x^m (\ln x)^{n-1} dx) appears on the right-hand side. This new integral has the same form as the original integral (\int x^m (\ln x)^n dx), but the exponent (n) has been reduced by 1 to (n-1).
If (n = 0), the integral can be solved immediately without the need for integration by parts. Otherwise, applying the same logic recursively, it can be seen that the integral will yield a series of new integrals in which the exponent (n) decreases by 1 at each step. This will continue until (n) is reduced to 0, at which point the integral can be solved directly. Therefore, it is necessary to use integration by parts (n) times to solve the integral (\int x^m (\ln x)^n dx).
adzetto
Thanks
is this enough to prove that we need to integrate n times? <@&286206848099549185>
@young blaze @untold surge sorry for the ping
Yeap. To clerify, you can write "For (n > 0, \in \mathbb{Z}), (I(m, n)) can be expressed in terms of (I(m, n-1)). Thus, to find an explicit expression for (I(m, n)), one would need to apply the method of integration by parts (n) times until (I(m, 0)) is reached, which can be directly integrated as (I(m, 0) = \int x^m dx = \frac{x^{m+1}}{m+1}.)"
adzetto
tysm adzetto for the clarification, but this only works when n and m are positive right?
y bso confusing is proving things when I lack too much theory, Im doing my best here
actually integral briefly can be expressed as (\log ^{n+1}(x) ((-m-1) \log (x))^{-n-1} (-\Gamma (n+1,(-m) -1) \log (x)))) (says wolfram), but for example, "(15/6) times need to apply integral by parts", it seems meaningless to me. So for example what does (\pi) times mean? Maybe it's the integer part of the real part of (n), but it's not necessary. Let it simply be (n\in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}).
adzetto
Yes
tysm for the input, ty adzetto

The minimum distance of the points on the function from the coordinate origin???
f(x)=√4x+7
graphing won't really help much, will it
won't it
I feel like it'll be very obviois
I mean idk if u can't see it immediately
@unborn prism you mean $f(x) = \sqrt{4x + 7}$, right?
Ann
Yeah
and you want to find the distance from the origin to the closest point on this graph, yes?
yes
Quadratic
d= sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
How should I do it when y^2 is available?
The closest distance between a point and a line is: |ax+by+c| / sqrt[a^2+b^2]
I tried with these formulas....
You don't have a line, so you can't use this
Yes, this is correct
What are your two points?
One is the origin, (0, 0) right?
Well, before that we have to write the distance formula
Call a generic point P belonging to that curve f(x)
Let's say its x-coordinate is t for example
Then, what's the value of its y-coordinate?
And y = sqrt[4t+7]
But how can I make sure that the point is the closest one?
Optimization should ring you a bell about derivatives
With min of the equation?
I got sqrt[t^2+4t+7]: Delta<0
Do you remember vertex formulas for parabolas? If not, don't worry
Is it y = a(x - h)2 + k??
This one, for the x-coordinate of the vertex
Oh yeah
Nice, I think we can use this instead of derivatives
So, as you wrote before, d(t) = sqrt[t² + 4t + 7], wasn't it?
-Delta/4a for the min?
Do you now agree that minimize that is perfectly equivalent to minimize its square? @unborn prism
Don't run (you still don't have a parabola)
Wdym?
If I want to maximize something with a square root, isn't it the same as maximize it but without the square root?
This because the square root is increasing, hence a point of maximum of the inside will result in a point of maximum also with sqrt
Yes
Ok perfect
We can therefore minimise the polynomial t² + 4t + 7
What is the value of t that makes it reach a minimum?
3
It is the abscissa of the vertex, isn't it? @unborn prism
No
Hence -b/(2a) which is in our case -4/(2•1) so t = -2
In this case yes, I'll explain you in a while why, but usually for thus type of exercises no, because they ask us for the values of t (which allows you to find the coordinate of the point) and not the value of the distance
By the way it's without the minus
Oh why??
Don't we want the min of function t² + 4t + 7 to find the lowest value of t??
Because that's the formula (you can get it by plugging -b/(2a) onto the equation ax² + bx + c)
Minimum is the y value, point of minimum is the x (or here t) value where the minimum happens to be
But since this is a very particular case, I would prefer to explain it with derivatives if you agree
Oh you'r right!
It gives -delta/4a...
OK
t1+t2= -b/2a???
Btw are you sure you copied the exercise correctly from the book? Because I've never seen an exercise like this where the usual way goes wrong
Yeah in a sense , but forget about parabolas right now,we don't need them any more if we do derivatives
Sure the options are:
- sqrt[5]
- sqrt[3]
- 49/16
- 7/4
Ahn you wanted the value of the distance, not the point okok
I misread the exercise sorry
But until here it was all ok
Now you simply have to calculate the derivative of that function d(t)
You should get $$d'(t) = \frac{t + 2}{\sqrt{t^2 + 4t + 7}}$$
Alberto Z.
I didn't get it !!!!
I suppose you know how to calculate a derivative, don't you?
If not you should revise how to compute them
At least power rule and chain rule
Oh no I havn't learned that
Oh my god, how are you supposed to do this exercise?
What has your teacher explained to you so far about derivatives?
I don't even know how it works!!!
Ok, then I'm sorry to say that I don't know how to approach this exercise, if not in this way
But probably other helpers here know that
I just know parabola and 2nd degree function.
Let's see if someone can help you better than me, fir sure there are a lot
<@&286206848099549185>
OK thank you BTW 🙏
You're welcome 🤗
First
For finding minimum distance, usually one does not minimize the distance function d but, instead, the square of the distance function d²
Minimizing d² is easier than minimizing d, because you get rid of the square root
So you want to minimize d²(x,y)=x²+y²
the square of the distance from point (x,y) to the origin
But, y=√(4x+7)
So you can express d² as a single-variable function
d²(x)=x²+4x+7
It's a parabola, so it has a minimum at its vertex
You can calculate it serveral ways

how do i calculate the degrees with these given infos?
You're given alpha and beta, from the diagram we know that alpha+beta+eta = 180 degrees, so we can use that to find eta. After that, we can use that alpha and epsilon correspond to each other and so on.
