I think I'm lacking something in my understanding of algebraically proving these are symmetrical along the x-axis, y-axis, and about origin
For question A I tried solving for the x axis by replacing y with -y and ended up showing that the equation was not the same as the orignal
For the y-axis it was the same case
But I think it has symmetry about the origin?
Is my math just wrong or am I right
For B. there is y-axis symmetry but I'm not sure if it has x-axis symmetry nor origin symmetry
Because aren't even exponents always positive ?
So A would be symmetrical about the origin
since I can divide -y by -1
er
multiply
B would then also have x0axis symmetry
Because even if I multiply the expression by -1 it will end up becoming positive since it's an even exponent?
I think I reasoned it out

Is the formula radius sqared
times height
time pi
times 1/3?
is that the formula?
yup
pi(r^2)h/3
36 times 1/3 or 36 times 3.14?
order doesnt matter
ok
36 times 3.14
is
113.04
right??
can u check for me
then that
times 1/3
,w calc 36*3.14
sounds good to me
what do you mean
on my calculator
1/3 is 0.33333333333333333
is repeated?
would I get an accurate answer?
,w calc 113.04/3
yeah, just divide by 3
the volume??
yup

wdym
x = x times the sqrt of (4 - x^2) ??
okay
simplify by dividing by x on both sides
guinearW
yes
im pretty sure u cant do that , u are removing a solution
x = x sqrt(4-x^2)
square on both sides
x^2 = x^2(4-x^2)
x^2 = 4x^2 - x^4
x^4 - 3x^2 = 0
x^2(x^2 - 3) = 0
u divided x which meant that u removed a solution which is 0
also u cant divide by x as we now know x = 0 and u cant divide with 0
dude
there are two solutions
yk that right
no?
you can divide by x^2
then solve
dude
there are TWO solutions
which u arrive at thru different ways
you know one is 0
yes
here you can
what-
oh yea
he's right
look one solution is 0
U can divide by 0 assuming x≠0
And then take a case where x=0 later 
but here you CAN divide by x^2 if x is non-zero, which, for this solution,it isn't
so x^2 - 3 = 0
now simplify, u get two solutions from this one alone
okay good
there's one more
what's (- root 3)^2?
yes
there are your 3 solutions
?
wdym
okay
so basically if u have two things that are multiplied
like (ab)
and then raise the entire thing to a power, like (ab)^n
that will be the separate terms to the same power
so (ab)^n = a^n times b^n
yes

I need help to see if I'm wrong on this or not
The problem boils down to this "find the length of one part of vector a"
One of the steps to solving it is to find the area of triangle ABD while using similar triangle properties on the area of triangle PDC
My answer is shown as 64, cuz essentially you multiply the square of the ratio of the side length
is AB parallel to OC?
However, the answer that's given is shown as 16, implying that the actual area is multiplied by the scale factor
OABC is a parallelogram from the question
So it is
Ah ok
The classmate I helped out on showed me this which is really confusing
Are vectors capable of doing something like this? I genuinely have no clue due to the lack of information of harder vector questions that weren't given
Looks like area ratio from length ratio with triangle similaritu
It is yeah, I just don't know ehat to think of this at all
If you intepret vector length as triangle side length, no problem
Is there an else situation where interpreting vector length as triangle side length is wrong?
If the vector is not the side of triangle
Wdym by that tho

Can someone please help me like I'm kinda stuck in the hours
So this is the example my teacher gave us but the prob is I was absent when he thought us that lesson 😭😭
It would be best if you gave specfic step
(also would be lovely if you provide the whole question from the start)
Scenario
arning institution, gelizing community. mpetence and fostering in Jesus Christ, one rest of creation.
O lumber + 5 hours $180 20 lumber+ 4hours $ 200
200 lumber and 80 hours
Tables = 10 lumber 10 = 100 lumber Shes 10 50 hours
100 lumber 30 hours left

The carpenter can make tables or they can make bookcases. If they choose to make tables, it takes 10 units of lumber but it also takes 5 hours of labor to make $180 of profit for a single table. Alternatively if they decide to make a bookcase, it takes 20 units of lumber to make a bookcase but it takes only 4 hours of labor to make $200 profit for a single bookcase. The carpenter only has 200 units of lumber and 80 hours of labor available. The carpenter wants to make as much money as possible using only 200 units of lumber and 80 hours of labor. How many bookcases and tables should the carpenter make to make as much money as possible using only 200 units of lumber and 80 hours of labor?
Ok so this is the question and I'm kinda stuck in the hours....
Cuz like wait I'll show you guys my answerr
This stuff based on operations research. You could make use of the simplex algorithm. (I am guessing that might be a little advance). Alternatively there is graphical approach that you can take to the problem. But it might be a bit hard depending on the number of variables.
A good textbook to refer is operations research: applications and algorithm by Wayne Winston

somebody help, the answer is very simple but it seems like there are like dozens of steps. can someone explain step by step in the simplest way as I think im getting too far. if it really is just a long long question then its fine
its taken me like ages
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
ok so the issue is for me
as you can see on the last step in the screenshot which is still sending
is that there is a bx^2 so i cant just take out the x and divide the rest out
and so if i divide it its like gonna be in the denominator making it more and more complicated
unless i just did it in a complicated way
soz i dont have clear workinga t all

im having trouble with this. help would be appreciated!
this integral doesn't really make sense
you have x in the bounds of your dx-integral
we were given this as a question to solve as an extra
maybe they meant $\int_0^1\int_x^{\sqrt{2-x^2}}\frac x{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\dd{y}\dd{x}$
matt07734
that integral doesn't work very nicely either
yeah thats it probably
i guess you'd do the inner integral the same way you'd do something like $\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+y^2}}\dd{y}$ but those bounds are going to be Fun™️
ヘイリー
or you use polar coordinates
oh yeah that's a better idea
switching to polar coordinates gets you this integral

what did i do wrong?
I have do find the global maximum of a function given an interval
extra - sign in your first derivative
didn't cancel the 2 properly
sqrt(4-x^2) isn't the same as sqrt(4) - x^2
could you showq where exactly?
oh, you had different results when doing the differentiation in a,b
that is the correct derivative, but you still had an extra - sign in the first line there
the issue with the square root still stands
when differentiating $\sqrt{4-x^2}$, why do you have
$$\br{\red{-} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-x^2}}}\cdot{(-2x)}$$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
oh yeah you're right
I see another mistake
let me redo it, and i'll send it again
almost there, but why is fmin= -sqrt(3) and not -2?
isnt the domain x <-2;2:>?
no
reread the equation you're given in the question
you are given that $x \in [-1,2]$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
work in part a) didn't get fixed, and for these types of multi-part question, there was no need to do the same thing again.
i.e if you differentiate properly in part a),
and part b) utilises the derivative, you could use that result directly
I see
so that's the correct domain
and I shouldn't take into account -sqrt(2) here
I understand now, thank you!

Just need help wrapping my head around Trig Ratios and when to use them
what do you have trouble understanding
When given a right triangle and given information, I have trouble understanding wheter to use
Sin0= Opp/Hyp
or
Cos0= Adj/Hyp
or Tan0= Opp/Adj
ik how to opperate each ratio just not when to use them
It depends on the given problem
it totally depends on what you’re given, if you’re just solving for angles/sides of a right triangle
Is there like a criteria to follow?
Ex. two angles and a side = use Sin
somethiing like that
well, it’s basically what you’ve written already
In your trig ratios
For example, if you have an angle and the side opposite to it, and you want to solve for the hypotenuse, then sin is the best (and actually only) option
I liked to think of the each of the trig ratios in terms of 3 variables
if you have 2 out of the 3 variables used in a particular ratio, you can use that ratio to solve for the last variable
if you only have 1 or 0, then you cannot use that ratio
May I add something?
yes please
Okay, so the simplest way is imagine a building
That building has a height right?
Now what angle does the building make with the ground?
are these labeled as you explained?
yeah
so the third variable is the variable im tryna find
that would be the case, yes
I would suggest you not to try to memorize which ratio to use where
^^
That's why I asked you to imagine a building
that is what my objextive here is
usually math has clicked at some point
but you two have helped me
alot
thank you so much
i get it now
Everytime you have a problem imagine you standing in front of a building at a distance
Mathematically, the distance of your foot from the building is base
Distance between your head and the head (top) of the building is Hypotenuse
And the length of the building is height
Then you can apply this logic at every case to check which of the quantity you have to find
But one thing to remember is in certain questions the height of the person is given then, you can no longer consider it a triangle it becomes a trapezium, with the person's height and building's height being parallel

@vast shale Has your question been resolved?
I would think by solving these equations you find solutions to the original one
The equation only equals 0 when you have 0 on both real and imaginary parts
So “trying to get them equaling 0” is the goal
And these equations are doing just that
that's a very valid reason where there's 4 possible w's yes :) also make sure to check those solutions too!

Is this inequality true for n e N and x e R+? I'm having trouble verifying it 🦆
Yes
how could you show it?
I tried eliminating the ln first:
but then I got stuck
After taking the exponential, I would break it up into three cases, where x > e, x < e, and x = e so that you can factor out either e or x from both sides of the inequality.
That way you can factor out terms by doing things like: (x^n + e^n))^(1/n) = (x^n + (xe/x)^n)^(1/n) = x(1 + (e/x)^n)^(1/n). Then knowing that e < x makes it easy to eventually compare terms involving (e/x)^n and (e/x)^(n+1) after more simplification.
hm kk will try thanks
for x=e it's trivial
for the case x<e:
but for x>e I couldn't find an approach @obsidian stream 🦇
I might not be present anymore as I'm becoming sleepy, but any help will be highly appreciated :) (I've shown the initial inequality for x<=e, but not yet for x>e)
x>e is fairly similar, it's just e/x < 1 this time
oh? where can you use this estimate
Instead of factoring by e^..., you factor by x^...
and then the inequation holds? I've already closed my laptop as as it's way past night for me, but I'll get to finish writing it tomorrow
Vision this but with e/x instead...
ah yeah should have been blatantly obvious when I did the other way
thank thee

How do I verify this by solving/simplifying one side only?
I’ve tried using Pythagorean identities but I keep going in a circle
,rotate
multiply by $1 = \frac{1-\sin \theta}{1-\sin \theta}$
LF
you should be able to use the pythagorean identity nicely then
So it’s better to simplify on the left side?
hm idk i havent thought of the other way
cool lmk how it goes
sure
Alright!
actually the other side is easier i think
That’s what my teacher said, but my partner and I went in spirals 😭😭
I’m probably missing something lol
I turned it to this
But the third term with the +1 messed us up bad
put everything in one fraction with only sin and cos
and then convert cos to sin using pythagorean
and simplify using pythagorean
I’ll try that after completing the left side
If I have sin^2 theta, can I factor it
I ended up with this
Wait wrong one

Hello I need help on a question
sorry, i can't understand the formula you write.
it seems to be a logarithm of the base 10? how to understand the number 24?
Hold on
Never mind this one
Not sure about number 2

Ye
Yeah I'm sorry man
It’s alright could you possibly get someone else then
first of all, wait 15 minutes before pinging that
g is the inversion map of f
Bet
i think the answer is 7
How come
Is it alr if I just straight up ask the question?
what is the relationship between exponentials and logarithms
Inverse
and what happens if you compose two functions that are inverses to each other
They become the same
no...
They cancel each other out
and whats left
it is an identical mapping bro

original what
f(g(7)) = (2*7 + 3)^2 - 1 = 288
Guys
I don't wanna ping anyone so
@cerulean tartan I think I have it
fuck did that came from
also thats nowhere close to the answer
so whats the point of putting it here?
Bcuz I got it from someone
take b = 7 as an example, g(7) = 1, and f(g(7)) = f(1) = 7
it is an identical mapping
Thanks Max
😋 you are welcome
How come u don’t have helper role
dont care about it
Are you qualified
idk
Ty for the help, but you are not even an official helper so why are you complaining
what was i complaining?
I just find that to be strange
maybe you should ask them for helper role

Honestly have no idea how to do this once I get to integration.
I get to my integration which is just $13\int_{0}^{a}\int_{0}^{b}(xy)dydx$
ImTallOk

for the formula $n=dk$ can't n, d and k be integers?
Navee
!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
I read this statement in Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang
Let d be a positive integer and let n be an integer. We shall say that d divides n, or that n is divisible by d if we can write n=dk for some integer k.
so what's your question, why d is restricted to positive integers?
Doesnt that fulfill your original statement
Yes
well, different definitions will be used in different contexts that allow for positive or negative divisors but oftentimes you'll see them restricted to positive in a lot of contexts, because if you're just talking about divisors of 10 you would get 1, 2, 5, 10 and it's just kinda superfluous information to also give -1, -2, -5, -10, but it really depends on context
the negative divisors would just basically be a mirror image
In this context the author of describing divisibility, I was wondering if I should take the positive integer part without thinking about it.
its like easier to just define it for positive numbers because that's what you want most of the time, if you ever need to consider the negative versions also its easier later to just say, ok consider the set of divisors plus the negatives of all divisors and now you've got everything
So if I cut the positive from the above statement, it still is true right?
wdym is it true? its a definition
the author is defining what he means by a divisor in the context of the work
Ok I'm lost 😭
its not a theorem where the author is saying ok I make this claim and then I'm gonna prove it, he's just literally defining what is going to be meant by a divisor from here on out, you can define things however you want
I don't see the word divisor anywhere in the text, so I'm assuming d is divisor? And what is n and k called?
Also is the author saying d is the divisor and it will be positive in the remaining of the book?
ok he doesn't use divisor, i didn't scroll up to reread so i was paraphrasing but he's defining what is meant by 'd divides n'
and by the word divisible
i dunno what else to say about this, i feel like youre just overthinking it, it's like if i say "ok what we mean by midpoint is the point halfway between the the ends of a line segment" now midpoint has been defined and you know what is meant by it from there on out
after that stamement for example i can say:
5 divides 10 or 10 is divisble by 5 because we can write 10 = 5 (2) where n = 10, d = 5, k = 2 according to the definition
the overthinking part can be true : \
so can I say
10 is divisible by (-2) because I can write 10 = (-2)(-5), where n = 10, d = -2, k = -5 according to the definition?
where the definition is the one from the text?

@ancient adder Has your question been resolved?
we never neglect it, actually x²-x+1 >0 for any value of x, like whatever you put in x its always greater than 0 so we were only concerned with the less than 1 part
and to see why x²-x+1 is always positive see this,
x²-x+1 = (x-1/2)² + 3/4
and we know that a square of real number is always positive, so not only is x²-x+1 always greater than 0 it's greater than or equal to 3/4

hello
what did i do wrong
@finite hatch Has your question been resolved?
@finite hatch Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> excuse me
substitute value of b in -a + q(b)
q is a constant(scalar) so it multiplies all the terms in b
@finite hatch
np
is it ok if i have 1 more questiojn
did i do something wrong for this question
question 9a
wait thats a bad picture
yea
ya
so let a be the first vector and b will be the second
making cos(theta) the subject of the formula:
i think i did dat here
cos(theta) = (a dot b)/(|a| |b|)
you forgot to put the sqrt 'sign'
lemme check
oke
oh i see
hm?
you did 5 * 7
oh how do i multiply sqrts
you just multiply the numbers and put the sqrt sign over it
thats because its 17 not 7
lol
GL! tho if you need any more help just ping me
lol
the angle is obtuse tho
bye

@vast shale Has your question been resolved?
This question seems to be oddly phrased
But considering the relevance of this question, I assume it means to estimate the limit of the function at point a
By using the order Tyler expansion at this point
@vast shale
Have you learnt Tyler expansion?
Is this something you have seen?
Then this formula should be what you use
What answer is 2x
Linearization is a way to estimate the value using “linearly close numbers”
Once you get the L(x) function, as shown above
Use “close up” numbers to approximate your value
I think is what this question means

hello, how do i prove that there's bijection between Q+ and N using cantor?
ok in what form do you know cantor
cause this is the way that I know cantor. the first one anyway
cantor diagonalization
well yes
Prime factorization
that doesnt answer my question
in what way have you seen cantor diagonalization
if not in exactly this way to show a bijection from Q+ to N
Denascite they probably have seen it in a proof that the reals are uncountably infinite
there are two cantor versions
that's where I've seen it
the first and second diagonal argument
the first is that Q+ and N have same cardinality
the second is that R is not countable
I very much assume they are talking about the first
i don't know, probably what you're thinking about, we haven't seen it much
yes
can you write down exactly how you know cantor
i've just seen it with the cantor snake very briefly, i think to show that AxB is countable is A and B countable
the way I know is to write every element of Q+ as a/b in lowest terms and them map those points to a subset of Z^2 by a/b->the point (a,b) and then travel in a spiral from the origin
I think that might be what you want
what travel in spiral from the origin means? I find a bijection between Q+ and Z² and then how do i find the bijection with N?
with Q+ you are already only in one quadrant
and then you immediately use the snake thing you mentioned
ok
so for ex the bijection is f so f(1)=1 and f(1/2)=2, f(2)=3, f(3)=4, f(1/3)=5 etc...?
we just skip the diagonal?
ok so that's all?
f(1)=1 and f(1/2)=2, f(2)=3, f(3)=4, f(1/3)=5, f(1/4)=6, f(2/3)=7, etc... mapping correct?
yes

How do I find where the particle is slowing down?
find when the speed (magnitude of velocity) is decreasing
So find the derivative then set it to zero?
That'll give you the critical points which will tell you where the particle's velocity is at 0. You also need to go one more step with a 2nd derivative and find the inflection points
All I need is the critical and inflection points?
well kind of. You also need to consider the the particle starting at t = 0.
basically wherever you have a critical point you are changing from a positive and negative slopes. The inflection point is usually where the acceleration slows/speeds up.
BUT, since we're starting at t = 0, we can see that as we reach the first critical point that we're slowing donw
The only inflection point is 4/3
yep, correct. The partical slowing down is from the inflection point to the critical point
(4/3, 2) is because from the inflection point to the 2nd critical point at x = 2
from (0, 2/3), since we're starting at 0 and we're approaching a critical point, we have to slow down
yep no problem! 🙂

need help with these three questions
[A=P(1+i)^n] or [A=\frac{R[(1+i)^n-1]}{i}]
アキラ (>_<)
- would be 4000* 0.04^n (n is number of years) as it yould compunt each year

so can i apply the first formula?
ok
but isn't it like 4000(1+0.04)^n?
where n is 10
FV = PV(1 + r/m)^mt u could probably use this formula
idk what formula that is
can you latex it
our teacher will provide these formulas in exam so which one should i use for 7th question?
,, FV = PV(\frac{1 + r}{m})mt
アキラ (>_<)
yes precisely
it is just either of these ones
I don't get it 
i= is jsut the annual interest/how many times it's compounded per year
the annual interest is 4% right? and it's compounded every month so 12 months
hence 0.04/12
can you use the formula ive showed you
plus i think it should be for this $$A=\frac{R[(1+i)^n-1]}{i}$$?
アキラ (>_<)

hmmm
this is the same as the one you showed just rewritten
well i dont know waht your teacher tought you
but from my knowledge they are the same, jsut rephrased
where i=r/m and n=m*t
basiclly just more compact
I don't think they both look same thing
the one you are using doesn't have an exponent of n
or rather the one you showed is jsut a special case of this one where the interest compounds once a year. hence, r/m= r and m*t=t if m is 1
n is just a special case of m*t when m is 1
if the interest compouns annually not monthly
do you see it?
nope
hmm
it just becomes more complicated
it does, since the question is more complicated.:/
let's start from the beginning
with your formula
it's just average canadian math question
A=P(1+i)^n
we're just supposed to use those formulas i showed you
yepp
either the first or second
okay

hmm
so you have to divide 0.04 by 12, (12 months in a year)
would be that n or i?
i
okay
so then we have A=P(1+(0.04/12))^n
,calc 0.04/12
Result:
0.0033333333333333
i'll use the fraction since it's more accurate
you are right about the first part, however n is not 10
for the same reason that i wasn't 0.04
why?
it compounds 12 times a year
then what they meant by 10 years?
Result:
120
n is 120
why did you divide 12 on 0.04 and multiplied 10 by 12
since the interest is split up for each month
you would have to multiply the compound period by the same amount
if it were to compound quarterly you'd divide 0.04 by 4 and then multiply 10 with 4 in order to balance it out
yea i think so
so basiclly you start with an investment of 400, which compounds for the first year, then you add another 400 in year two nad so on
yep i used the second one
the i is split up over 12 months too remember
yes
,calc 0.06/12
Result:
0.005
okay so my i is 0.005?
yes
and for n multiple by 12?
my bad
it's 10 multiplied by 12 right?
okay so the final equation is 400[(1+0.005)^n-1]/0.005, where n is 120
correct?
ill latex it hold on
looks right
アキラ (>_<)
ok there
it would have been the same thing
