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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

answers:
highest point: (4, 2, 2)
lowest point: (-4/3, -2/3, -10/3)
I just need to do the work
But idk how
do you know how to use the method of lagrange multipliers?
you can use it here
The tough part is the intersection curve
I'd solve the second one for z, then sub that into the first one.

Sin^-1 is the reciprocal of sin (arcsin)
and?
inverse
not reciprocal
if you're french it's an understandable mistake but it's a very sore point of mathematical translation between fr and en
what you call réciproque we call inverse, and what you call inverse we call reciprocal
Bruh
is the dude who translates math mentally challenged
what "dude" are you talking about
I guess it makes sense if he's french
i mean it sounds like you didnt do what they ask you to do there
they dont ask you to find the inverse of the function, they ask you to find its derivative
exactly
rn it's arcsin(x^5)
so it's inverse is sin(x^5)
right?
then the derivative is cos(x^5)(5x^4)
but that's incorrect
They're not asking for the derivative of the inverse, but of the function y
@thin frigate Has your question been resolved?
Ah, what does that mean exactly
You need to find dy so you just use u'(arcsin'(u))
what is dy/dx
The derivative of y with respect to the variable x, to put it simply
I'm confused about that, the difference between dy/dx and dx/dy

how do i turn this into vertex form? -> x^2-8x+16=4
this is just two straight lines of the form x=a
did you mean x^2-8x+16-4=y?

how do i do this problem
Oo vectors
have you found u x v
@wispy wigeon Has your question been resolved?
yeah alright
what do you know about orthogonal vectors
they are orthogonal if the dot product is zero?
nice
you need to get the a that satisfies that, yeah
umm... how do i actually do that... 😅
do the dot product
that is u * v = |u| |v| cos(90 degrees) right?
well, yeah in this case
what i meant specifically was to evaluate the LHS in the fashion of
(ai+bj+ck) dot (di+ej+fk)=ad+be+cf (=0 here)
oh i see
that is (-5a-9)i?
since the j and k are zero in the i vector
yup
neato
indeedo

I have no idea how to start this
ik you find derivative of arctan(3x) but dont know where to go next
Do you have the slope of the line through those two points?
yeah its uh
3/9x^2+1
basically derivative of arctan(3x)
I just dont know where to go from there
That's the slope of the line
Now, what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line (3,0) and (0,1)
sure
;-;
thats bad right
im having brain rot right now
, w slope of line through (3,0) and (0,1)
yeah
Yes, and we already had that
is that litterally it?
No
That's just one step
Now we need to know when another line is perpendicular to that line
its not right?
The slope is right, but it's just one step
You might have to wait until it is working to do calculus
you are right
OH WAIT
I got it
it was 0
I had to use desmos
but thanks

is Pythagoras theorem defined to be true for all points in a unit circle?
because the sense of right triangles will go away when x>90
if I consider the point (cos(100), sin(100)) , i'm unable to construct a right triangle with angle 100
<@&286206848099549185>
you can construct a right triangle of angle 80
using the negative x-axis
Pythagoras' theorem isnt "defined" by the unit circle
so i should define cosx being the x coordinate and sinx being y coordinate
so Pythagoras theorem holds without the issue of triangles?
cosx is already defined as the x-coordinate
you dont have to define it to be that
yes
i mean, if I just think as being x coordinate
instead of triangles and all of that
it would make sense ig
sin^2(30) + cos^2(30)= 1
clearly i can draw a triangle and show it to you
can you draw a triangle and show me sin^2(100) + cos^2(100)= 1?
it's the same triangle as you would draw for sin^2(80) + cos^2(80) = 1, just that it's flipped around the y-axis
mirror image of the 80 degree triangle

can some one give a hint as how to approach this integral ? I've tried u sub and by part it looks like a repeating integral but it isnt
$\int_{0}^{\infty} x^n e^{-x}$
xr
,w int_0^infty x^n e^-x
you need to know about the gamma function
havent touched that yet
then you need some analysis to do this question

divide it
think of it as units
yea but how do u divide it if there's like two missing variables
you can factor :p
[
(3a-2b) \tsx{phones}, \quad (6a^2+5-6b^2) \tss{pesos}, \quad (???)\f{\t{phones}}{\t{pesos}}
]
you dont need to do synthetic division at all
but we need to use it
im pretty sure synthetic division is inapplicable here
multiple variables in the dividend doesn't work well with synthetic division
did they explicitly tell u to use synthetic? @peak axle
because i think long division should work
not rlly,i guess
i just dunno what to use now
long division!
it definitely would work
do you know how to set up the long divison here? @peak axle
broo idunno how to use that, the cancel thing seems easier
1/(2a+3b)
isnt 3a-2b the divisor tho
yes
well you need to decide
do you want to factor or do u want to do long division
this will be like
2-3 steps to do
u can factor too but might take a bit more to figure out
its simple div
ok
what u got then?
if its 2a+3b then you're done
if it isnt you fucked up somewhere
ye its that
then thats it ye
also
i recommend to use long division in situations where you have to use long division/synthetic division
long division is just more applicable

hi
Something we can help you with?
I am looking for someone who can explain the full solution to me. If you want to help please try solving the problem first and explain it to me. i have been stuck on this for 3 hours and would like to ONLY see HOW it is solved.
The problem is asking to show that the LHS = RHS
this is as far as i have come so far:
you almost have it but there's an extremely concerning algebraic error
$\f1{1-\tan²x} \redneq -\tan²x$, you can't cancel like that
Haylsune Miku
this problem is the first time i am seeing tan2x so my bad
can you walk me through the solution ?
ok i see more algebra issues, you need to review exactly how cancellation works
you also need to be careful not to confuse a / (b/c) with (a/b) / c, as you did on line 3 on the right

?the prove part
wdym
i mean we need to prove lhs and rhs?
yep
when simplified, they should be the exact same expression
yeah
i think i got it
can you explain pls?
yes

calculus help
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/
how do you find extrema of a differentiable function?
no max and mix using differentiation
ok
can you help? @hybrid flicker
is this a condition given by your prof or is it because you don't want to?
no condition
so why not using differentiation?
i was absent for this class
well better catch up, sorry
can you tell me the steps
find the extrema : find the critical points f'(x) = 0
then, having found the extrema, check if they are max, min, or neither
Usually f''(x) is a good indicator, doesn't work all the time but works many times.
What works in the general case, fixing x an extrema:
- If f is decreasing before x and increasing afterwards, then x is a min.
- If f is increasing before x and decreasing afterwards, then x is a max.
- If neither, then x is neither.
is this the way to it
those are your critical points for f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 +1
no i mean the steps
this is the first step
.
what is next step
.
bro i understand nothing
How do you plot a maximum using a curve? You draw a function that goes up and up, and then goes down. The exact point where it starts to go down is your max, right?
Well, a bit before reaching the point, the function is increasing, and a bit after, the function is decreasing
understood bro max value is 5 min value is 1
thanks
@hybrid flicker
can you help me with uv rule
6+4 sqr root x cosec x find first derivative
can you put parentheses here?
no there is no parenthesis
when you write sqr root x cosec x I can read it as sqrt(xcosec(x)) as well as sqrt(x)cosec(x)
parentheses are important
Finding first derivative here?
So we need to essentially find the derivative of sqrt(x) and cscx
But we see that they are multiplied by a factor of 4
And 6 falls away since it's a constant and derivative of constant is zero
It would be 4[use product rule]

I have to use Fermat's little theorem to solve mod(19^32, 17)
I thought since 19^(32 mod 16) = 19^0 the answer would be 0, but the correct answer is 1. What did I do wrong?
19^32 mod 17?
By F.L.T, $19^{16} \equiv 1 \pmod{17}$ right?
Dubleyou
a^{p-1} congruent to 1 mod p
wow, I mean I don't know if that's correct but since 32 mod 16 is 0 why use 16?
1 is the answer, that's true
aaaaah i see.
I mean, i just used the statement of FLT
Yeah I don't know why I'm making it so complicated
but tysm this cleared it up for me! Haha
$a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{p}$
Dubleyou
Stupid question tbh
oh my god I have no clue what im even looking at, I know sin cos tan all that but man
last time I had this type of math was years ago
How do we know both have equal 30 degrees
looks evidently same to eyes, but is there something we call for this?
hmm well since a full circle is 360 degrees I'm confused as to how 150 + 30 + 30 = 210 degrees is half the circle
but I feel like I'm just completely misunderstanding
they might think I'm seriously helping u but i dont feel like I'll be able to lmao, maybe try closing this channel and re-asking in a new one?
what are you trying to find
essentially I’m wondering if I write 30 in the right, does that always imply 30 on left?
can you be more specific? what right? which 30 degree? sin or cos
i’m not asking specifically about trig ratios here
suppose i mark 30 degrees from positive x axis
essentially how would you explain why we wrote 30 in the left triangle?
they are both 30 degree angles but the left triangle is in the second quadrant, so it has different coordinates
we say they are congruent or something right?
they have lines in the x and y axis signifying that they are the same length.
if you look at the y axis for the triangles there is 1 stripe or line and the x axis has 2.
if you calculate sin 150 and sin30 they are the exact same value. though the left cos will be negative
sin(x)= sin(180-x) right?
-150 to get the 30 degrees
I’m actually looking for it’s proof
i've done a few that look like this actually. proving that the triangle on the right side of the unit circle being the same as the left side
can you show?
some of the expressions have different variables than in english though. i'll share rn. ask for translation if you dont understand
sure

yo
lmao är du svensk?
självklart
$\frac{a\cdot(ba^2-25b)}{b\cdot(5b-2a^2)}$
USS-Enterprise
This it?
första frågan kan svaras genom att ta bort a från täljaren och nämnaren. sedan dividera -8/8, eftersom -1 * 8 = -8
USS-Enterprise
uppgift 2348
Well you can factor something out of each and you'll end up with something really nice
Why didn't you do that then
i’m dumb
So what do we get
is this matematik 1?
$\frac{5a(2a^2-5b)}{b(5b-2a^2)}$
USS-Enterprise
Now notice something similar about the second factors
the denominator snf the numerator look almost identical
Almost
What makes it non identical
Rearrange one of the factors
$\frac{5a(-5b + 2a^2)}{b(5b-2a^2)}$
USS-Enterprise
-1
Exactly
numerator
$\frac{5a(-(5b - 2a^2))}{b(5b-2a^2)}$
USS-Enterprise
$\frac{-5a(5b - 2a^2)}{b(5b-2a^2)}$
USS-Enterprise
😂
,rotate
i’m guessing the -2a^2 + 5b cancels out
Of course. Your main operation is multiplication
Think of -2a^2 + 5b as x
We get $\frac{-5a \cdot x}{b \cdot x}$
USS-Enterprise
x cancel out
No problem 🙂
that made sense
I'll try
2347
nigel is basically saying that a-8/8-a = -1
and we need to prove that it’s true
Yes
not prove. we have validate if its true
i guess factoring out -1
USS-Enterprise
We are where we were earlier
minus plus and plus minus
So we factor out a minus somewhere
👍
There you go
And again, think of 8-a as x, or hug the denominator around with parantheses for, again, better visualization
$\frac{-(8-a)}{(8-a)}$
USS-Enterprise
Again cancels out
yes
And we get -1
tysm
USS-Enterprise
Yes.
What I am asking is though
Whether you have to consider restrictions
Which means "what can't a equal"
Because if a = 8, we get 8-8, which is 0 and we are dividing by 0
ohh
No problem 🙃

Idk if I'm just stupid or what but I'm practicing exponential growth and decay for the first time in years and I'm confused how to compound like this (compound 3 times a year for t years)
Is it saying the initial $400 is growing by 9% three times a year? Because I'd think that'd be what I wrote

i see the problem
its 400(1.09)^3t
idk its basically the same
but its not a very
regular way of saying it
how the heck does that work
so your doing the compounding 3 times a year?
the same
idk maybe the grading thing only accepts your format

where did ^3/2 come from
Okay well, this is where we're at right now
oh so we square both two get rid of square
then we take the cubed root of both to et rid of the cubed

Is line above or below the graph
eventually its above
Yeah so
so i guess its asking about the entiretly of the line at c = 50
oh no shit
it says that
explicitly

Use the approximation you got and compare it to the real result
That should somewhat help ig

I need help understanding this relation between sums
didnt u ask that already
yes but i had another question that wasn't resolved
i understand it better now but i cant see the entire picture yet. it mainly becomes a problem with viewing -a1 and -a2
What is it you don't understand?
i cant grasp my head around what a_n is supposed to be, is it supposed to be -7 or 1
\
You can't know, you only know what the sum is
i know this is wrong but i cant just use the difference from a1 and a2 to get to a3
You do not need to find a_3 or any other a_n
then what do i need to look for
You want to know the sum of all a_n from n = 3 to +inf
You have the sum of all a_n from n = 1 to +inf, and also a_1 and a_2
Trust me when i say i hear you clearly and that makes sense but something just isnt clicking from there
Said another way, you want a_3+a_4+..., and you have a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+... as well as a_1 and a_2
Uh no
darn
Maybe I misunderstand what you mean
I can't really make it more obvious
You have a_1, a_2, and (a_1+a_2+R), you want to find R
Yes
No worries

In this question, give all answers to two decimal places.
Bryan decides to purchase a new car with a price of €14 000, but cannot afford the full
amount. The car dealership offers two options to finance a loan.
Finance option A:
A 6 year loan at a nominal annual interest rate of 14 % compounded quarterly.
No deposit required and repayments are made each quarter.
(a) (i) Find the repayment made each quarter
I tried to first find the final value by using FV = 14000 (1+14/1200)^24 the formula for financial applications adn then dividing it by 24 to find the rapayment for each quarter but the answer does not match with the one i have in the solutions.

there are 4 quarters in a year, not 12
i.e. you should have r/4, not 4/12
also annuities formula should be used as the amount is being paid off during that time
what is the annuities formula?

Can I get a second opinion on my answer here?
I dont know if that is the answer or if the answer is closer to: "a limit does not exist when the graph/function is continuous with no breaks"
not enough
a function can have a limit at a point where it is undefined
do you know about left and right limits
im assuming that is referring to limits regarding the x value aproaching a value from the left or right side?
yeah
it is defined that a limit exists at a point when the left and right limits are equal
is there a simple example of this?
those limits have to exist too obviously (no infinities or - infinities)
hm f(x) be defined as: 1 for x>=0 and as -1 for x<0
the limit at 0 doesnt exist, from the right its 1, from the left its -1
if a function is continuous youll generally have the limit existing everywhere, issues happen more so when its not, so i get what you were going for
just needs a bit more specific wording is all
sorry, i am so confused by that explanation. which one of my explainations are you referring to? the first or the second?
("a limit does not exist when the graph/function is continuous with no breaks")
this one
this one is incorrect then?
doesnt make sense, y=1 is continuous with no breaks, its limits exist everywhere
ok, so to summarize (please correct me if im still no exactly right), "a limit does not exist when the limit's value is undefined"?
thats a circular definition
what does 'a limits value is undefined' actually mean
you just said a limit doesnt exist when a limit doesnt exist
For this example, could you explain what you mean?
@pale perch
Perhaps I don't fully understand the question being asked
i would say the limit as x approaches 0 doesnt exist because the limits on either side approaching dont exist either - they both tend to an infinity
the conditions for a limit to exist are:
the left limit exists
the right limit exists
the right and left limits are equal
here it fails everything
Can you specify when you say "the left limit exists" or "the right limit exists"?
well, the left limit here as you can see, will be -infinity, so it doesnt exist
if a limit=infinity or something, then that limit doesnt exist
the right limit tends to +infinity, so it also doesnt exist
So.. is it fair to say that "a limit does not exist when the left limit and right limit approach opposite infinities"?
i mean, no
a limit exists, when the left limit exists, the right limit exists, the left and right limits are equal
them approaching different infinities doesnt matter
neither of them exist
,w graph (1/|x|)
they both approach +infinity here, still dont exist
ok.. i see.
the point is
the limit exists on both sides
limit on both sides are equal
then the limit exists if the above holds
my brain hurts, but i think i got it. thanks

Oi
what
no
it rounds to 7.36 to 2dp
what is the lowest a number could be to round up to it
whats the highest a number could be so it rounds down to it
I don’t get ur
It*
The lowest is 7.40
How come?
Oh yeah
Idk why I said that I get it I get it !
I’ll type in and see if it’s correct
type what in?
i told you that doesnt round to 7.36
It’s not correct
neither does this
tell me
7.35
good, what does 7.355 round to
7.40
so 7.355 is our lower bound for L
if you go any lower, youll round to 7.35 rather than 7.36
you just found the lower bound
you still need to find the upper bound though
@pale perch this?
Now I don’t know what to put tho
the lower bound is 7.355 (first box)
the upper bound (second box) is the answer to this question
no, L rounds to 7.36 to 2dp
the actual value of L can fall in a range
if L was 7.36444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444.....
it would still round to 7.36
it doesnt have to be!
it just is the lowest value L could be such that it WILL round to 7.36 when rounded to 2dp
I don’t understand
Ohhh!
I get it
Yess I got it! @pale perch
And btw can u help me with another? If you’re free?
I put 47.13
mathswatch, what a throwback
Result:
110.5682368
Result:
394.13248
howd you get this number?
So
haha lol
11.2 x 3.142 x 2 = pi r ^2
Answer = 47.13
Wait no

I have task that goes: if f(x) = arcsin x, show that f(x) < f'(x)x for 0<x<1. I know that f'(x) = 1/sqrt(1-x^2). I've never come across a similar task, so I'm uncertain as to how I'm supposed to approach it.
Initially I was thinking of maybe taking the integral of f(x) and f'(x)x over the interval and see if the absolute value of the integral is larger than the other, I know that f(x) is strictly growing so I guess it would work for that, but I haven't checked if the same applies to f'(x)x
@narrow shadow Has your question been resolved?
I tried the integration method and I did find that the area under f(x) from 0 to 1 is smaller than that of f'(x)x, so I guess my question just becomes, would that count as showing f(x) < f'(x)x for 0<x<1?
@narrow shadow Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> I would just like to know if my solution would be valid? if not maybe another direction I can go in to try and solve it?
@narrow shadow Has your question been resolved?
This isn't enough, you would need to show this for the integral from 0 to t, for all t in (0,1)
I'd say take the sine of both sides (justify this) and show the inequality holds
I'll try this, but I'm also wondering why wouldn't my method be enough?
As a counterwxample, Suppose you have f(x) = 1 and g(x)= x^2, defined on [0,2]. Then integral of g on [0,2] is bigger than that of f(x), but there are points where f(x) > g(x)
Yeah, I see your point
The integrals tells you about thr total area, but doesn't tell you if one function is bigger than the other at a single point. That is why you'd have to look at every possible integral in the domain
Loosely speaking,Integrals don't give info about what happens to a function locally
If I use the method you suggested, taking sin of both sides, I obviously get x on one side, but it's unclear to me how I'd use this to prove that for a given interval, that one side should be larger than the other for that interval
Well first you need to justify that taking sine of both sides preserves the inequali
Hint:||monotonicity||
Might be wrong here, but wouldn't the inequality be preserved as long as we're not multiplying/dividing by negatives?
Well in that case I'm quite uncertain. When x approaches 1, f'(x)x goes to infinity
That would lead to issues with the inequality, as it would shift given an x close enough to 1 or -1
Yeah that'll be an issue
Oh wait I'm stupid
I think you can take derivative of both sides of the original
Show f(0) = xf'(x) at 0 (they're both 0)
And show f'(x) < (xf'(x))' for all x in [0,1)
ooooo
you just prove that one function strictly grows faster than the other given the same start point?
Yeah
damn
wish I would've realised that sooner 🤦♂️
But thank you a lot for the help!

can someone explain this
the ball experiences the 24N force, it doesnt experience the -24N force
the cue is the opposite
24N acts on the ball
-24N acts on the cue
you would need to hit the ball again with the cue for the ball to stay stationary
why tho\
how do u know which is negative

What do you now about parallel lines (functions) ?
There’s a thing to now if two graphs are parallel
First, write your function as $y’=ax+b$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$ what can you say about the value of $b$ ?
deus ex machina
Don’t worry
What do you know about the line you want to graph ?
You know that the line passes trough the point (0;6)
« Line that contains C »
@vast shale Has your question been resolved?
if two linear equations are parallel what must be the same
theres only two things in a linear equation
slope and y intercept
which one do you think needs to be the same for two lines to be parallel

If there's two people on frictionless ice and they both push each other. Person A(55kg) pushes person B(60kg) with 680N of force as person pushes person A with 520N of force. What'd the acceleration of them both?
I don't understand what force I'd use here. Because if I look at person A, they push with 680N of force but they're also going to experience that force back. Do I do 680-520 or something?
What what about every reaction has a equal and opposite reaction? If person A pushes 680N against a wall they'd experience 680N backwards, no?
yes, and it makes sense because you don't move as a result
and here it's different
i'm thinking, i don't know yet
i think it would work out if you draw all 4 forces and then sorta treat both people as one thing, single mass and acceleration
but generally i'm completely confused and i give up
no, that's nonsense, you would simply get 0 net force sorry
@dreamy marsh Has your question been resolved?
@dreamy marshwhen they ask acceleration of them both, does it mean it's one number, not 2?
or you don't know?
@dreamy marshit would make most sense if you add both numbers
so there's same force, and 2 different accelerations
No, they ask for acceleration for both seperatly so two different numbers
right
the point is that these two forces cannot be all there is, there's is no way they wouldn't be equal
person A is pushed back with 680N and also 520N
then the net force is the same between them
