zinc quail
#

ok so they have the same steps as we do

#

they also get -1 and -2 as roots

#

which our A,B,C values get too

#

still don't see the mistake :D

#

the quadratic is definitely the same

past prairie
#

oh then maybe

#

i will see

zinc quail
#

6x²+18x+12 = 0 is the correct quadratic

#

and its discriminant is 36

#

yeah is right

zinc quail
#

because the standard one uses b²-4ac

#

but for instance the German one uses (p/2)²-q

#

@past prairie yeah so just to be clear:

#

American discriminant = 36 is correct

past prairie
#

oh okok

zinc quail
#

and the calculations from before are correct too, they yield:

#

the right intersections

#

so everything was fine :D

past prairie
zinc quail
#

just geogebra 3d to quickly do it

past prairie
#

ohh

zinc quail
#

not the most modern tool, there are better ones

#

desmos etc

past prairie
#

pretty nice

zinc quail
#

so I guess error was you have a different discriminant formula?

#

maybe some French version of it

#

if it's the same formula, then

#

is wrong

past prairie
#

no it the same formula

#

but the result of him is not the same as me

past prairie
#

like i only need to know if an object is aiming toward that sphere

zinc quail
#

which it is

#

if Discriminant >= 0, then the object aims towards the sphere

past prairie
#

uh even when the object isn't aiming towards it saying it does : /

#

lmao

#

i forgot to square the radius x))

#

Uh it still strange

vale frigate
#

what's the purpose of dF = dm * a

vocal sleetBOT
sullen shoal
#

?

#

what are F,m and a

#

@vale frigate

solemn marten
#

for example if you apply a force dF on a block of mass m, there will be a small change in acceleration da

#

the mass will stay constant in cases like these

#

but for example if you had to measure the change in the force of a rocket

#

as its fuel is exhausted it continuously loses mass

#

so there is also a small change in force dF acting upon a change of mass dm whie it continues to accelerate at constant acceleraiton a

sullen shoal
vocal sleetBOT
#

@vale frigate Has your question been resolved?

solemn marten
#

m(v - u)/t

#

is the force

sullen shoal
#

yes

#

but here we have dm, ie mass is changing too

solemn marten
sullen shoal
#

yes so u cant say dF/dt is only m(v-u)/t

solemn marten
#

or at least that's not what i meant to say

#

i guess this is just a relation between changing mass as well as changing velocity

#

dF = dm * dv/dt

#

dF * dt = dm * dv

sullen shoal
#

nop

solemn marten
#

which i've never seen before honestly

sullen shoal
#

u+v rule dude

solemn marten
sullen shoal
#

u'v + v'u

solemn marten
sullen shoal
#

u can

solemn marten
#

we're not differentiating mv though

#

we're taking a small value dm and multiplying it with dv/dt

sullen shoal
#

oh maybe

#

the context might be different

#

i get wht u say

solemn marten
#

i suppose so

sullen shoal
#

but where did the actual guy go

solemn marten
#

no idea

#

he just dipped

sullen shoal
#

the one who asked this

#

#

These math jokes are annoying me so much

#

Can someone explain

#

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

Dude

solemn marten
vast shale
solemn marten
#

you can't treat x as a variable and differentiate it using the power rule anymore

vast shale
#

so that's the point

#

you can't differentiate x

#

something new

solemn marten
#

that part is incorrect

scarlet bough
#

how would i do this question? like how do i get the values for y_0, y_1 y_1 etc?

winter thistle
#

and then plug them into 1+cos(x) for y_0,...

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

6 strips mean 7 points

#

and the distance between each point has to be the same, and the first point is 0 and last point is 2pi because that's the bounds of your integral

#

so you can figure out the distance/width between every point?

winter thistle
#

that's the total distance from first point to last point

scarlet bough
#

2pi/6

winter thistle
#

yup

#

now x_1 = x_0 + 2pi/6 = 0 + 2pi/6

#

x_2 = x_0 + 2 * 2pi/6

#

or equivalently, x_2 = x_1 + 2pi/6

#

etc.

#

so can you work out all x_0, x_1, ..., x_5, x_6?

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

now y_0 to y_6 are the corresponding values when you plug x_0 to x_6 into the function given

scarlet bough
winter thistle
scarlet bough
winter thistle
scarlet bough
scarlet bough
winter thistle
scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

why 6/2 at the beginning?

scarlet bough
winter thistle
winter thistle
#

so half of that is pi/6

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

no...

#

x_0 is 0

#

y_0 is 1+cos(x_0)

#

which is 1+cos(0) = 1

#

y_1 = 1 + cos(x_1)

#

where x_1 = pi/3

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

it's 1/2 * h where h is 2pi/6 here

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

11pi/6?

#

should be 7pi/6

#

wait

scarlet bough
winter thistle
#

i know why

winter thistle
#

Idk why I said 1 XD

#

that was my bad

scarlet bough

thank you

worthy karma
#

Are the options incorrect

vocal sleetBOT
worthy karma
#

Or do I not understand the question well

solemn marten
worthy karma
#

Howd you get that

solemn marten
#

dA/dt = 3pi
d (pi r^2)/dt = 3pi
2 pi r * dr/dt = 3pi
dr/dt = 3/2r

#

then they tell us area is 16pi

#

which means

#

16pi = pir^2
16 = r^2
r = +/- 4

#

in this case r = +4

#

so then
dr/dt = 3/2r
r = 4
dr/dt = 3/2(4) = 3/8

worthy karma
#

Oh, got it

#

Thanks!

solemn marten
#

np but my answer isn't one of the options either lmao

worthy karma
#

It feels correct to me bro

#

Thank you so much!

#

If I have the function f(x) = x^2-6x+3, is there an easy way for me to get the range of it without using a calculator?

peak matrix
#

if you find y-coordinate of the vertex Y, then depending on coefficient of x^2, the range is either [y, infinity) or (-infinity, y]

foggy wave
#

I need to find vector MB but I can't seem to get the right answer 😭😭😭😭

foggy wave
#

It's a trapezoid and M cuts AC in half

#

Didn't say anything about BM but I'm assuming that its also cut in half

#

I thought it's supposed to be 0.5(b-2a) but that doesn't seem to be the case

vocal sleetBOT
#

@foggy wave Has your question been resolved?

stone gazelle
#

Find MA

foggy wave
#

why

stone gazelle
#

MA + AB = MB

foggy wave
#

AHH thank you I got it correct this time

#

Another question

#

I did it like this

#

But it's wrong

#

idk what's not right

#

I got 822 but it's supposed to be 522

stone gazelle
#

What is the question asking?

foggy wave
#

I need the scalar product

#

I covered the words cuz they're not in English anyway but all the needed info is there

stone gazelle
#

The calculations are correct, seems like you may have just put them together wrong

#

[ 0.5 \boldsymbol{a}^2 + \boldsymbol{a}\boldsymbol{b} - 3\boldsymbol{a}\boldsymbol{b} - 6\boldsymbol{b}^2 ]
[ = 512 + (-80) - (-240) - (150) = 522 ]

twin meteorBOT
stone gazelle
#

@foggy wave

foggy wave
#

But

#

I got the last one -150

#

Wait

#

Bruh

#

I got it

#

I did the minus twice

#

I should've taken 6 instead of -6

stone gazelle
#

yeah]

Alright that's it !!!!

coarse wren
#

Can someone help me do this please? I’m just struggling with this one

chrome raptor
#

So what trigonometric functions do you know?

coarse wren
#

sin tan cos etc

coarse wren
chrome raptor
#

So sin is just cos translated so what of sin and tan could be?

#

Look at that graph, there are some points of R which do not belong to the domain

chrome raptor
#

The real numbers

coarse wren
#

oh

#

um

#

i dont really know

coarse wren
#

im grade 10 so i dont really know a lot of this

plucky trout
#

do you know the parent functino

coarse wren
#

thats the entire problem

plucky trout
#

or the other one

#

csc(x)

coarse wren
#

um idk

plucky trout
#

secant / cosecant

#

sec(x) = 1 / cos(x)

#

csc(x) = 1 / sin(x)

coarse wren
#

😭

#

idk what ur asking me

#

i think this is too hard for me

coarse wren
chrome raptor
#

Ok what is the tangent of π/2?

coarse wren
#

0

#

oh wait

#

its undefined actually

chrome raptor
#

Is tan decreasing from 0 to π/4 and increasing from π/4 to π/2?

#

What is the value of tan(π/4)?

#

That's some helpful question

coarse wren
#

or 2 i forget

#

im pretty sure its 1

chrome raptor
#

What is the value of the function in the graph for x=π/4?

coarse wren
#

maybe -inf or inf?

chrome raptor
#

You can't study trigonometric functions if you haven't mastered understanding a graph yet

coarse wren
#

oh ok

#

could you help me to understand it then?

chrome raptor
#

When x=π/4 what is the value of the function?

#

Look at the horizontal line at π/4 then through which point the graph passes

coarse wren
chrome raptor
#

π/4 is half π/2

coarse wren
#

oh right

#

so its 0.5?

chrome raptor
#

?

#

No

coarse wren
#

-0.5

chrome raptor
#

That's right

#

So it'd be -1 if the function were tan but it is -0.5, so how can you change tan so as it is -1 instead of -0.5 at π/4?

coarse wren
#

oh wait

#

i figured it out

The graph of the function ƒ : R → R is the line through the points (-2, 0) and (0, 1). Furthermore, the function g is given with g : R → R : x → g(x) = (ƒ(x))^3. Determine (g(8))^(-1).

quartz beacon
#

so i did this

#

,rotate

twin meteorBOT
quartz beacon
#

so id have 1/125 but answer says it should be 2

vocal sleetBOT
#

@quartz beacon Has your question been resolved?

solemn marten
#

it's given that f(x) is a linear function

#

we can find the slope, which is 1/2

#

oh well oyou found f(x) anyway

solemn marten
# twin meteor

did you do
g(x) = (x/2 + 1)^3 and then g(8) = (8/2+1)^3?

#

that's not what the question is asking

#

the question is asking g^-1(8)

#

not g(8)

quartz beacon
solemn marten
quartz beacon
#

no worries

solemn marten
quartz beacon
#

for what i did

solemn marten
#

g^-1(x) != 1/g(x)

#

g^-1(x) denotes the inverse function

quartz beacon
#

okay how do i do that

solemn marten
#

well a property of inverse functions is
g(g^-1(x)) = g^-1(g(x)) = x

#

here we have g(x) = (f(x))^3

#

so we apply g^-1(x) on both sides

#

g^-1(g(x)) = g^-1(f(x)^3)

#

but like i said before, g^-1(g(x)) = x

#

so x = g^-1(f(x)^3)

#

you got it from here?

#

you should study inverse functions, it'll be helpful

quartz beacon
#

yeah we did a year ago so i forgot

#

haha

solemn marten
#

damn

quartz beacon
#

but how do i know if theyre asking the inverse or 1/..

#

because doesnt that -1 mean the same

solemn marten
#

if they're asking 1/g(x) they'll probably put brackets around g(x) with the -1 exponent

#

like (g(x))^-1

#

if they're asking for the inverse function, they'll keep it right in front of g

#

like g^-1(x)

quartz beacon
#

okok i wrote my question wrong

#

but yeah they asked the inverse

solemn marten
#

yeah basically

quartz beacon
#

ill try look at my notes from last year then

#

see if i can do it again

#

ty tho

solemn marten

go ahead

peak raft
#

hi i think i understand what to do here but i'm struggling with the algebra

#

if we're finding the limit from first principles doesn't that mean that there is an h in the bottom? if so, why is there no h in the equation they showed in part a?

#

i understand that the numerator is just the difference of two squares and they didn't ask for the denominator but still

tidal dock
tidal dock
#

there are two definitions

#

one where h (distance between the two x coordinates) goes to zero

#

and the other where the whole x coordinate approaches the other, i.e. x->a

#

they really are saying the same thing, in fact if you plug in a=x+h you'll get a more familiar form

peak raft
#

yea i think i see what i did wrong here

#

why do you think the x should go to a tho

tidal dock
#

it shouldn't

tidal dock
#

it's a typo

peak raft
#

sorry typo

tidal dock
#

in case of f'(1) ofc x goes to 1

#

as that's what a is

#

oh

tidal dock
peak raft
#

sorry i'm so stupid

#

i sent you a wrong question

tidal dock
#

it's okay

strong ridge
#

What’s going on

slim crest
slim crest
#

I do not understand why in the second condition it is less OR EQUAL

strong ridge
#

Are an and b both conditions that must be met?

#

Or separate equations

slim crest
#

seperate

strong ridge
#

Probably because it’s a different equation

#

So it’s setting up different initial conditions

#

To solve

slim crest
#

but it is the zero of a function

strong ridge
#

It’s an unequality

#

The or equal to just makes you need to check the endpoints

slim crest
#

but the condition is that the zero of the function must be lower OR EQUAL to 1

slim crest
#

why not only less

#

than 1

strong ridge
#

It’s more practice so that you can work with the equal to sign

slim crest
#

;/

strong ridge
#

It’s for school right?

slim crest
#

yes but I doubt it is for more practise

#

I have been having the equations for 2 years now or so

#
  • the conditions aren't given in the exercise you need to devise them on your own, but while checking I found out I have a mistake and it should be "also equal to 1", so that's why
strong ridge
#

It looks a little redundant because the interval is open

#

Oh

slim crest
#

yeah

#

exactly

#

;-;

#

And I do not understand why

strong ridge
#

Might be practice so that you learn to work with endpoints?

slim crest
#

in answers it is m belongs to <-2;+infinity)

strong ridge
#

I wouldn’t worry about it tho

slim crest
#

every answer to this type of exercise is like this

strong ridge
strong ridge
slim crest
#

uh ye

strong ridge
#

The intersection of the found answers and the answer space

#

Is [-2,1)

slim crest
#

but I was talking about m solely

strong ridge
#

Ohhhhhh

slim crest
#

because one set must contain in another, and for the (-infinity; 1) the m must be <-2;+infinity)

strong ridge
#

Yeah

#

I thought you meant m is within both intervals

slim crest
#

but I still can't figure out why it is closed interval ;c

slim crest
strong ridge
slim crest
#

What do you want to tell me with this

strong ridge
#

The open interval bracket probably doesn’t matter

slim crest
#

How

#

it really does)::

#

because in some answers it is open and in some it is closed

#

so there must be a difference

#

it derives from this

#

but still dunno why it is also equal

Given two positive real number $x, y$ such that [
\log_2\frac{x^2+2x+2}{y^2-y+1} + 2x^2-y^2+4x +y+4=0
]
Calculate $6y-x$ as $-3x^2+y^2+2x-y+1$ reaches its maximum

any idea? lagrange'ing it is pretty ugly

#

perhaps theres a cleaner way to approach this

@jagged cargo Has your question been resolved?

jagged cargo
#

hmmmge

#

maybe it could be written as a function?

#

f(a) = ...

#

ok big improvement

#

arranging the whole thing yields me this

#

both side is under the function $\log_2x+x$

twin meteorBOT
jagged cargo
#

it can be easily shown that the function is monotonically increasing

#

therefore

#

$2x^2+4x+4=y^2-y+1$

twin meteorBOT

answer is 3sqrt(133)

night folio
#

I am so lost on this application problem my prof gave us for pre-calc. Trig has kicked my ass in general, but this problem is so far removed from anything we have done and I can't figure out how to even begin. I have read and reread through the text book. I have reviewed slides from class. I have searched YouTube and google far and wide. I have consulted with ChatGPT. I have asked my instructor for more help. I am honestly running out of options which brings here. I have pasted the actual problem for full context, but I am not necessarily just looking for an answer. I am not trying to cheat, I just really want to understand how to approach the problem.

I understand the sum and difference formula, but I don't understand how it is supposed to be applied in this scenario. I am also just very confused by the phrasing and framing of the question in general and have no idea how to connect it to what we learned in class.

I am really just at my wits end with this problem. I have spent 6+ hours on it and haven't made any progress and my prof isn't very helpful. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of a student simply not understanding something which is terribly frustrating.

mellow oyster
#

the whole concept here is about how pure sine and cosine waves representing sounds of a particular frequency and intensity can superimpose to make more complicated sound waves

#

so first to find the second tones waveform

#

you know the waveform will look like y = a*sin(b(t-c)) as per the formula provided

#

they also give you the amplitude of the second waveform, so there’s a

night folio
#

So from my understanding I wrote it like this, but I think I may be off
tone 1: -38cos(880πt)
tone 2: 38√3sin(880πt)

mellow oyster
#

b is related to the period, period is 2π/b. Observe that your second waveform has the same period as the first waveform

#

oh great

#

yeah that’s exactly what i was leading you towards

night folio
#

I just dont know how I am supposed to apply that to a sum and difference formula...

#

The example my prof gave looks like this, but this looks way different from that problem

mellow oyster
#

yeah so that’s what you’re doing here, maybe using the sine difference formula

#

so sin(a - b) = sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b)

#

adding your two waveforms together, you get 38√3 sin(880πt) - 38cos(880πt)

#

now factor out a 38

#

and you get 38(√3 sin(880πt) - cos(880πt))

#

now look at the stuff inside the parentheses

#

notice that if you look at the sine difference formula, sin(a) matches with sin(880πt) and cos(a) matches with cos(880πt)

#

that means that you can let a = 880πt

#

now you need to find b

#

if you again compare the formulas, you see that cos(b) matches with √3 and sin(b) matches with 1

#

hmm that’s weird, there’s no b satisfying that

#

ohh

#

yeah okay you have 38(√3 sin(880πt) - cos(880πt)) = 76(√3/2 sin(880πt) - 1/2cos(880πt))

#

now with the same reasoning, let a = 880πt, then from the formula, cos(b) = √3/2 and sin(b) = -1/2

#

from the unit circle, this gives b = -π/6

night folio
#

Hmm yeah I wasn't sure how to handle apply that formula in this situation. I though we normally use that like to find 2 smaller simplier angles on a unit circle that add up to the bigger one. But I don't see that being the case here.

mellow oyster
#

which means the expression inside the parentheses is equivalent to sin(a-b) = sin(880πt + π/6)

#

and your overall waveform is 76sin(880πt + π/6)

#

did what i did make sense?

#

then part 3 is just rewriting this to fit their general form y = asin(b(t-c)), and part 4 is interpreting a and c

night folio
#

Hmm. Ok i need a minute to think through it

#

For context here is what I had done originally

#

sorry, got pulled away. Thank you so much for the help. I am just looking through it trying to understand it

#

how did you get 76(√3/2 sin(880πt) - 1/2cos(880πt))?

#

@mellow oyster How did you turn 38(√3 sin(880πt) - cos(880πt)) into 76(√3/2 sin(880πt) - 1/2cos(880πt))?

I mean it makes sense that if you multiple the outside by 2 you can divide the inside by 2 I guess, but what is the logic ?

mellow oyster
#

my logic was that i expected the √3 and -1 to be outputs of the cosine function, but that doesn’t really make much sense because of the range of cosine

#

like i guess i just recognized that if i divided by 2 i’d get recognizable cosine outputs

#

specifically i knew that i’d actually be able to find b unlike before i divided by 2

night folio
#

Ok yeah I guess that makes sense. When I tried to do it without that it did make it not make sense it would have basically cancelled itself out

#

Still very confused though lol

#

So with sin(a-b) = sinacosa-cosbsinb
I end up with 76(√3/2 sin(880πt) * 1/2cos(880πt)) - (1/2cos(880πt) * √3/2 sin(880πt))?

from min to max of function its decreasing

from max to min of function its increasing

since max is concave down so its negative

Not a homework problem but I'm trying to find the Laplace transform of sin(t) via the definition and got

L(sin(t)) = Im[ (s+i)/(s^2 +1) ] = Im[ s/(s^2 +1) +i 1/(s^2 +1)] but what I'm not sure about is I saw on Wikipedia s is actually a complex number so I'm not sure what to do.

warm path
#

Ok. Im(z) means imaginary part of the complex number z, I hope you get that

#

and the imaginary part of that is basically what after $i$ (i.e., coefficient of $i$)

twin meteorBOT
warm path
#

so you got it already.

#

If you don't understand it. Suppose I have a complex number $z = a+bi$, then $\text{Im}(z) = b$.

twin meteorBOT
vocal sleetBOT
#

@spring sigil Has your question been resolved?

spring sigil
warm path
#

not really.

#

s is real

spring sigil
warm path
#

it is often treated as real number when we evaluate the integral. But if we want to do it in a more rigorous way,

$\mathcal{L}{\sin(t)} = \mathcal{L}\left{\frac{e^{it} - e^{-it}}{2i}\right} = \frac{1}{2i}\left(\frac{2i}{s^2+1}\right)$

twin meteorBOT
warm path
#

Here, you still can use definition to evaluate the laplace transform of exponential function

#

In that case, $s$ is treated as complex.

twin meteorBOT
warm path
#

In your case, $s$ is treated as real in order to use the notion of imaginary part for the part that involved with $\sin(t)$ only.

twin meteorBOT
warm path
#

but yes, $s$ is complex. it is just that we treated $s$ as real for the computation (when it is equivalent)

twin meteorBOT
vocal sleetBOT
#

@spring sigil Has your question been resolved?

spring sigil
warm path
#

like, in stats, that is treated as real (not all the time, but most of the time).

#

albeit, we use two-sided laplace transform in stat more often

#

in control, it is more useful to treat that as complex

spring sigil
warm path
#

in stats, that is called moment generating function

#

and most of the random variables are real

#

so... expectation of the exponential function of the random variable should be real

lone tartan
#

you can convert 80 root 4 to (80)^1/4

#

because any root is essentially just the number in the root raised to the reciprocal of the root

#

for example the square root of 3 is just 3 raised to the 1/2 power

loud walrus
#

Factor 80

#

As 5 * 2^4

amber knoll
#

so would 2 remain in the 4th root?

loud walrus
#

What do you think?

#

Root 4th of (2^4 * 5)

#

This is the same as r4th(2^4) * r4th(5)

amber knoll
#

so is the answer 2 times 4th root of 5

#

becasue 4th root and ^4 cancel?

loud walrus
#

Yes

amber knoll
#

ah, thank you

#

where do i even begin on this

#

get all on one side?

loud walrus
#

Subtract -2 in both sides yes

amber knoll
#

adn then square root both sides, correct?

robust python
#

not root

loud walrus
#

No need to do that

#

I want you to do in a different way

#

First, tell me the equation after subtraction

amber knoll
#

square root of x-6 = 5

loud walrus
#

Ok now

#

Do you agree that 5 and sqrt25 is the same?

amber knoll
#

yes

loud walrus
#

Ok so sqrt(x-6)=sqrt(25)

#

Now

#

Do you agree that 25 = 31-6?

amber knoll
#

yes

#

so 31 = x

#

?

loud walrus
#

To know if your solution is correct use it in your original equation

amber knoll
#

so what do i do if it is not a perfect square

loud walrus
#

Give me an example

robust python
amber knoll
loud walrus
amber knoll
#

becasue you end up with square root of 2x+8 = 2

loud walrus
#

Ok so now

robust python
loud walrus
#

In that example we are gonna try the same

#

Add 6 to both sides

#

And tell me what you got

loud walrus
robust python
#

"What number has a square root of 5?" is the same as "What is the inverse square root of 5?" which is p much the same as "What is the square of 5?"
which ends up doing the same exact thing as squaring both sides

#

youre overcomplicating this

loud walrus
#

But that is not true

robust python
loud walrus
#

Only for porsitive numbers

#

But dont overtalk about this now

amber knoll
loud walrus
#

This is for slim channel

robust python
#

that, right?

loud walrus
#

Oh u wrote

#

I didnt read sorry

#

Ok so first solve it yourself and tell if you have any problems

amber knoll
#

x=-2

loud walrus
#

How did you do?

amber knoll
#

thats a x not a y

loud walrus
#

Perfect

#

Now asking your question

#

We can do the same like we did before here

#

Sqrt(2x+8)=2

#

Sqrt(2x+8)=sqrt(4)

#

Sqrt(2x+8)=sqrt(2(-2)+8)

#

Can you see that x is -2 here too?

amber knoll
#

yes

#

that makes perfect sense but why do that with no perfect squares

loud walrus
#

Nice, just one thing you have ti have in mind before using your method of quarr

#

Is, be careful when there is a negative number

#

Because if u square it, it will become positive

#

And u will lose that information forever

amber knoll
#

okay, so just like a short cut

loud walrus
#

You can solve things usually in more than one way, its good that u explore all the ways

#

So you have always tools in case y forget one of the others

amber knoll
#

cool, thanks for the trick

#

now

#

when writing a an equation in logramithic form how do you put a fraction in as the base

#

so

#

for example

#

,,124^4/3=625

#

not that

#

124^4/3=625

#

just that

#

becasue that 4/3 is the base but can i wtite it as a fraction

loud walrus
#

You mean

#

124^(4/3)?

amber knoll
#

yes

loud walrus
#

Why did you say it is equal to 625?

#

That looks false

amber knoll
#

125^(4/3)=625

loud walrus
#

Oh 125 yes

amber knoll
#

typo sorry

loud walrus
#

Ok so what is the question

amber knoll
#

write that equation in log form

loud walrus
#

Well, not sure if this is what u mean but you could take log in base 5 to both sides of the equation

#

Log_5(125^(4/3))=log_5(625)

amber knoll
#

quite simply just write the equation as a log

#

\so

#

2^5 = 32

#

is log base 2 32=5

#

right?

loud walrus
#

So like log base 125 of 625 = 4/3?

#

And what happens with that

amber knoll
#

ohhh

#

yeah

#

solving using natural log what would be the first step?

#

missed in my notes

#

#

so im solving for x

#

?

wide summit
#

wait give me a sec

wide summit
#

so 8e would be ln 8e or log e 8e

#

since (4x + 8) ln 8e = ln 15 , you divide the equation with ln 8e

#

4x + 8 = 0.87939...

amber knoll
#

arent e and ln the same

wide summit
amber knoll
#

whats the difference?

wide summit
#

e is exponent

#

ln is log base e

amber knoll
#

ohh okay

#

so am i not solving for x

#

?

wide summit
#

e has a value

#

which is 2.7182... , you can find it on your calculator

amber knoll
#

so i have 4x+8 = .8794

wide summit
amber knoll
#

subtract 8 and divide by 4

#

?

wide summit
#

the answer is -1.78 ...

wide summit

whats the base value for log

10

wide summit
#

oh then

#

3 = 3 log 10

amber knoll
#

how did you get that?

wide summit
#

log 10 ^3

#

im not good at explaining sorry

amber knoll
#

its okay

#

sp

#

what happens with 4x+10

wide summit
#

after that you can cancel both logs

amber knoll
#

and be left with a normal equation?

wide summit
#

leaving you with (4x + 10) = 10^3

wide summit
amber knoll
#

so then x= 247.5?

wide summit
amber knoll
#

okay

wish me luck on finals lol

i dont really know how id explain , but let me know if anything seems difficult

#

ill try to explain

#

next step

#

and then we convert it into fraction and get
$$(x+1) + \frac{5x-3}{x^2 -x-6}$$

Q + R/D
where Q is the quotient , R is reminder and D is divisor

fresh tide
#

ah i see

#

that makes more sense

#

thanks @strong grove

strong grove
#

hope u understand

fresh tide
#

Yea it made a lot of sense

#

I also watched a quick example

#

it helped too

#

but thanks

HI

vocal sleetBOT
whole gate
#

cant figure out where that x^2 comes from

sterile radish
#

Are you getting the other terms rather than x^2

whole gate
#

actually no

is it a right thought trying to make it match the blue equation?

so is it enough to show it with the binomial series expansion then?

I have to study the convergence of this sequence of functions on the interval $I=(0,1)$ $f_{k}(x)=\frac{k}{(1+kx)^2}$ I understand that punctual convergence exists, it is actually the sequence of functions tends to $f(x)=0$ .But now it says that it does not converge uniformly because the function is balanced.I don't know what this last statement means

lethal heart
#

this is my help for now , I don't know what you are writing regarding my question

fiery scroll
#

Wdym

#

Nevermind The teacher said the question

lethal heart
#

Why are you sending me these things

#

If you need to ask for help, you should write to a help room that is not already occupied

versed bane
#

not sure what they mean by balanced. do you just want a proof that f_n doesn’t converge uniformly?

#

like you’re right that it converges pointwise to 0

lethal heart
#

On the PDF it says that it does not converge uniformly because they are equilimited

#

What does that mean?

#

A family of functions F on an open set A ⊂ C is said to be compact equilimited (or even locally equilimited) if for every compact K ∈ A there exists a constant M such that for every f ∈ F and for for every x ∈ K we have |f(x)| ≤ M.

#

In theory it's this thing but I don't know what it means

versed bane
#

well, locally equilimited and equilimited are different things

#

then

lethal heart
#

Oh...

#

I need the definition for my context pls

versed bane
#

i have no clue lol can you send the pdf, it would be way easier to do this with context

lethal heart
#

That would be my exercise above

#

It is written that fk is not equibounded in (0,1) therefore it does not converge uniformly

versed bane
#

yeah that is standard terminology

#

so what we require for uniform convergence is that the supremum of the function go to 0 (actually the supremum of the difference of the function and the thing they converge pontwise to, but we’re dealing with the 0 function so we’re good)

lethal heart
#

Ok

#

So for now

#

$sup|f_{k}(x)-0|$

twin meteorBOT
#

sofficino

lethal heart
#

Because it is always 0 when all x varies

versed bane
lethal heart
#

The limit function

#

f(x)=0

versed bane
#

yeah the pointwise limit. so now we can try to evaluate this expression more and see that we can’t

lethal heart
#

Yes

#

We can say that sup is less than $\frac{1}{kx^2}$?

twin meteorBOT
#

sofficino

versed bane
#

actually at x = 1/k f(x) = k

#

notice that

lethal heart
#

Ok

versed bane
#

and then we can see that $$\sup_{x\in I} f_k(x) \geq k$$

twin meteorBOT
versed bane
#

so the supremums can’t converge to 0

lethal heart
#

But how did you find the sup

versed bane
#

i didn’t

#

i bounded it below

#

by k

lethal heart
#

But to find the sup in general, do we fix an x ​​and make k tend to infinity?

#

No

#

Wait

versed bane
#

well, it depends on what we are considering. we are allowed to fix k and let x vary, or we are allowed to fix x and let k vary, or whatever else we want

lethal heart
#

The limit of k to infinity applies to the largest difference

versed bane
# lethal heart Its indifferent?

usually it’ll be clear from context. you have to specify what set you’re taking the supremum of (remember that the supremum is about subsets of R)

#

so what i really was saying was $$\sup {f_k(x) \mid x\in I} \geq k$$

twin meteorBOT
versed bane
#

but some people will shorten/change the notation to what i said earlier

versed bane
#

but we wanted, when considering the uniform convergence of the $f_i$, to hope that the sequence $$\lim_{k\to\infty}\sup{f_k(x)\mid x\in I}$$ converged to $0$. but the statement earlier means that that can’t happen

twin meteorBOT
lethal heart
#

Practically the sup tends to infinity

versed bane
#

yep

lethal heart
#

Because if I fixed k=9000 and x=1/k, squaring x would give k=9000 which does not tend to 0

versed bane
lethal heart
#

So this conclusion necessarily meant that x was equal to something that depended on k

#

Because otherwise if I thought of x as a constant I found that the upper tended to 0

versed bane
#

yeah we had to consider stuff that depended on k, and yes, the second thing is because f_k actually does converge pointwise to 0

lethal heart
#

So what does the concept of equilimitability refer to?

versed bane
#

same as uniform boundedness pretty much(PROBABLY). if i have a family of functions F (could be a sequence), then it’s equilimited if the supremums are all bounded by the SAME constant M

#

in particular, if a sequence of functions converges uniformly, it has to be equilimited

lethal heart
#

And what would be the fixed constant here?

versed bane
#

unless it literally said “the sequence IS equilimited”

versed bane
#

which would be weird

versed bane
#

and we can see what M would be for that particular example

lethal heart
#

Ok

versed bane
#

so the family of functions f_k(x) = 1/k, constant functions

lethal heart
#

Ok

versed bane
#

that is a sequence of functions that is uniformly bounded/equilimited, since the supremums are all bounded by 1

lethal heart
#

It converges both punctually and uniformly

versed bane
#

so M would be 1 in this case

#

i get the impression that equilimited is the same thing as uniform boundedness
