Woops have it backwards, its graph to derivatives. Derivatives in red
I might be able to do it now, I had my understanding backwards
Ah okok if you need help you can @ me and I’ll try my best to
No, please help, thought I had it and immediately got lost
Ah okok
So if you have a linear function it’ll be y=x right
So what would the derivative be of y=x
The derivative would also be linear, right? I know the derivative of a constant is infinity
So that’s not true though
The derivative of a constant is 0
But it wouldn’t be linear actually
So the derivative x^2 is 2x because of the power rule right
Yes
So then what would the derivative of 2x be
2
Not quite it would be 2
So you can use the power rule to see it
So 2x^1
That’s the same as 2x
I got it, said 1 because x^0 forgot to multiply it by the 2
Ah okok
So that means it would be a constant
So if you get the derivative of a linear function such as Y=x would be a constant
Oh, so B would match to I, right?
Yes
Because the derivative of y=5x would be y’=5 so just y would be 5 for all of x
Do you get that part?
Yes, the power rule ensures that all derivates of x^1 will be a constant
Exactly so when you graph it it’ll be a constant as well
Okay so let’s move on to the parabola one
A parabola is a y=x^2 function right
Yes, so the derivative would be linear instead of constant
Exactly
I get it now
And if it’s a cubic function then the derivative would be a x^2 type function
C belongs to II as its degree is greater than 2, and A and D belong to III
Sii
Thank you! I have a lot of trouble relating between evaluating equations and translating that to graphs
This has made it much clearer!
Ah I’m glad I could help

Any ideas on evaluating either one of these integrals?
Came across them while trying to evaluate another integral using Feynman (hence the alpha)
out of curiosity what was the original integral?
x=cos(u) maybe idk
trig sub is definitely the move here
@sudden compass Has your question been resolved?
Can't find a suitable one tho
Nope doesn't work
^
Uhh its integral from 0 to 1 of x sin^(-1)(x)/(1+x^2)
U parameterize inverse sine function (sin^-1 ax), differentiate, do some substitutions, it becomes this - same integral but with (sqrt(1-a^2)/sqrt(1+a^2)) inside the arctan

Is ChatGPT 4 making this too complicated or is there something that is not easy to explain about applying chain rule to e^cos(x)?
I am expecting there is just two values for g(x) and f(x), I'm not sure why it throws s(t) into the mix
!nogpt
Please do not trust ChatGPT or similar AI tools for mathematical tasks, as they often generate output which "sounds correct" but has numerous factual or logical errors. Use of these AI tools to answer other people's help questions is strictly against server rules (see #rules).
Sure, do you know what is going to be f(x) and what is going to be g(x) for the derivative applying chain rule to e^cos(x)?
it's $exp(cos(x))$
ƒ(Why am. I here)=I don't Know
so what is f(x) according to you?
if f(x)=e^x
you are finding the derivative of $f(cos(x))$
ƒ(Why am. I here)=I don't Know
were cos(x)=g(x)
because chatgpt often says things that are silly or wrong when you ask it math
So it’s f(x) is going to equal e^x and then g(x) is whatever is in the exponential place of e?

cos(h)/h, where h tends to 0
what will be the value of this?
yep
and not indeterminate
it's not 0 / 0, it's not infinity / infinity
so the limit DNE
(Can infinity / -infinity be result of the limit?)
DNE?
doesnt exist
you need to further manipulate it
smth called l'hospitals or sth right
and examine if it's DNE, 1, 0, pi or smth else
thats one of the options
but its better to avoid it
otherwise?
if you can
can you explain?
whatever is convenient
e.g. if the limit was x / x, we can just cancel the x's and get 1
which is the result of the limit as x -> 0
yeahh
yeah
okay and if it is (x+1)/x
plug in
then it is also 1?
wait x tends to infinity?
yeah
yep
if its from right side then it tends to + infinity
from left side itd tend to -infinity
and here, its the same btw
yeah....
from right side its + infinity, left side - infinity
1/0 doesnt even have a definite answer
it can be -infinity, infinity, or it can be "both" meaning it doesnt exist
the limit is +infinity from the right and -infinity from the left, so it's not a single value and doesn't exist
This is 1/x, from right side it's + infinity, from left side it's -infinity
the limit cant have 2 values, so it doesnt exist
i seeeee
But if its something like 1/x^2, then it's + infinity from both sides and so the general limit is just +infinity

e^sin^2x
What is the value?
of?
The differention of the thing above
You want the derivative?
What have you tried till now?
Can you send that working?
Try solving it and send your working
This what you mean? If so I can help you with it
Differentiation of exponential function is quite easy once you know the trick
@grim bluff
Okay well ln() is not really needed, it is just important that you understand that if i have a base raised to the power x. like in this pic:
Then the derivative is this function times the ln(2)
Now here we have hidden a little extra trick which is that we did just use the chain rule. Because in the exponent is a function. Here we secretly multiplied by 1 because x->1
Oh ok
If we first apply this logic to your function the start should look something like this:
But ln(e)=1 because it like saying, if i raise 2 to a power of, what, then my answer is 2. Of course then the power is 1.
So we leave that out. Now we multiply by the derivative of what is in the power itself because we are dealing with a function inside a function
Well ln() is just an operator. So if i say ln(2) it will just spit out an ugly number
its not a function like ln(x) which is because of the x
So what we have here is the first step by multiplying the whole equation by the base inside the ln() which in this case is 1 because ln(e)=1
The second step is to take the derivative of what is in the exponent, sin^2(x). You know how to solve this?
Power are really just based on this one rule here:
Yes which simplifies to sin(2x)
Wait I need to check something
Alright
Wait I'm sorry I have to leave can you send the rest of the answer to I can check it later
Please and thank you

hi could someone help me solve this
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
he got a common denominator and combined fractions
$\frac{-c}{a} + \frac{b^2}{4a^2} = \frac{-c(4a)}{a(4a)}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2}$\
$=\frac{-4ac}{4a^2}+\frac{b^2}{4a^2} = \frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$
Zybikron
nope, he's not multiplying the whole right side by something. Just the one fraction to get a common denominator
he's multiplied a fraction by 4a/4a = 1
which part are you not clear about specifically, if you could reiterate your question?
he did not divide by 2a
$\sqrt{4a^2} = 2a$, so he simplified the bottom of the radical, then combined fractions

I was doing a problem on khan academy where the perfect square polynomial, "(x+3)^2+14(x+3)+49" simplified to "(x+3+7)^2". When I checked if (x+10)^2 was equal to the original equation it was equal to "x^2+20x+100" instead of "x^2+14x+100". Why is this so and why is the answer correct?
huh? lemme see. (x+10)^2 = x^2+(2)(10)x+10^2 = x^2+20x+100 thats the same thing?

Hi
2x¹
Power rule
🫤
Now .close please
You type fast though
If you doubt use first principle
wait
do you genuinely not understand why the derivative of x^2 is 2x and not 2?
'
x^2 does not have constant slope, if you got that the derivative of x^2 was 2 then you'd expect the rate of change of x^2 to be the same everywhere which isn't true
..
once you bring the 2 down and subtract 1, it's not still being operated on by d/dx
you also can't treat that operator like multiplication or a fraction 😭

how can I show that $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\left\lfloor (n+1)^a \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor n^a \right\rfloor }{(n+1)^a - n^a} = 1$ where $a > 1$ ?
Groudon
Oh ok
so we first need to bound the difference in floors with the original difference
well more clearly the numerator is greater than or equal to (n+1)^a-n^a-1
Lol. Nice bio
and we reduce this to showing that (n+1)^a-n^a goes to infinity
lol
Wait i just saw floor
and then (n+1)^a-n^a is greater than n^(a-1)
and as n goes to infinity n^(a-1) must also go to infinity
since a>1, a-1>0
so n^(a-1) will go to infinity
What then is floor of ∞
well more specifically, the limit as x goes to infinity of (x-1)/x is 1
and we define x as (n+1)^a-n^a
so first we show as n goes to infinity so does x
Ooh
and then we show that floor((n+1)^a)-floor(n^a)>=x-1
@lethal mesa Has your question been resolved?
To show that the original limit goes to 1 shouldn't you bound it above by something that goes to 1 as well ?
oh yes
oh wait nvm
I believe
yes

Idk where to start

✅
um which one do you want to start with
Let's start with point a
ok
so think of this in the complex plane
our imaginary part is the y-axis
and our real part is the x=axis
so for example, part (a) will be z_1(t)=(t,cos(t))
so this is just a cosine wave
from 0 to 3pi
the next one, would be z_2(t)=(1/t,t)
?
we are just taking the imaginary component which just happens to be cosine
nothing related to e on this page
that was just a dumb exaggeration, sorry
ok but I think im getting there
we are lineary getting thou x
the horizontal axis
and i alternates between i and -i
as a cos sign
so if i can create a scenario when
(t, f(t))
my anwser will be just f right?
yep
ok let me try the second one
although
be careful on the domain of t
usually when we answer "f", we are assuming the domain is -infinity to inifnity
however, this is not always the Case
try drawing it out at points if you need
yes but specify the domain
um yes.
you get (u,1/u)
i would write this as xy=1 instead but same thing.
however, the domain isn't over everything. we have that t goes between 1/2 and 3.
thats only part of the answer
you need to specify the domain
ok ok
we are given that 1/2<t<3 in the problem
so since x=1/t, we have that 1/3<x<2 in this case.
therefore, our answer would be, the graph of 1/x, when 1/3<=x<=2
ok, I think im getting there
Is the more to it? Any edge cases or some hard example in those that I provided?
no thats really it. for parts a through d
Ok
Thanks so much king ❤️

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
??
im stuck on figuring out how to do this
like should i multiply 37x2
since its doubled
no
no like look at the numbers for both
yea

so what would the answer be??

how do you determine domain for this quesiton?
You mean the domain of x?
I mean every side has to have a positive length so we know x>0, 100-2x>0, 40-2x>0
Which gives 50>x>0

how do i solve this?
why is it 1?
cause a square means bounce
for a to be positive the bounce has to be on the positive side of x?
if a is positive, that means there's a root at -a, so the negative side of x
(because in (x + a)^2 when to get 0 you plug in x = -a)
wait so if the graph is (x-2)^2(x+2)
on the x axis is it bounce at 2 and regular at -2?
if theres (x+a) in an equation without the square then is it -a or a thats on the intersect?
which one do you plug in to get 0?

Shut up bot
Why the period is 7pi
I’m the attorney who claims that the 7pi, the accused, is innocent. it has nothing to do with the period.
You guys are the opposition
Now send your argument!
why would it not be?
By the only information that the maximum points occur in (7pi/4, 5), the period cannot be determined.
no
you are also given where the function intersects its own midline
these points
but only one of them
which is all you need
Consider that, from the span of x=0 to 7pi/4, the length could include (n+0.25) of period, where n is a natural number
Your statement is flawed, because you have unconsciously assumed n=1, which is not necessarily the case.
Can someone plays the judge
Is there anything you want to add, Mr. Deer
you are correct in that there are multiple sine functions that satisfy these conditions
but the one with the biggest period, is this one
“The biggest period” is not mentioned in the question.
it isnot
That means the period cannot be determined by the information provided in the question
Do you agree, Mr. Deer
the period of the function they were trying to find was 7pi
the question itself was not asking about period
it was simply asking for a sin function that has the required properties
which there are multiple
Your words just contradicted to the statement you had just made that there are multitudes of sine function satisfy these conditions.
one of which has period 7pi
???
no
there are sometimes multiple right answers
they simply chose to go with showing one of the possible (most simple) answers
But there’s only one written on the answer column.
How do you define the “most simple” and how do you know it is the most simple one that should be put into the answer sheet
the period for this answer need not be 7pi
I agree.
Then, do you agree that the period cannot be determined
a good given is that when you plug in for the maximum, sin is at is maximum value within an interval of (0,2pi) given no phase shift
i.e. for this b=2/7 and 2/7(7pi/4)=pi/2 and sin(pi/2)=1 which is its maximum value
for another period that works, say 1.4pi
b=10/7
“Given no phase shift,” Mr.deer, Are you making some assumptions out of thin air?
10/7(7pi/4)=5pi/2
even with phase shift this is a good rule of thumb
That should not be deemed as a definitive evidence.
you can probably look at the comments and find some similar questions. or post a comment on this particular problem and ask about it, email. :3

How??
I do not understand how they got those new bounds of integration
@frail dew Has your question been resolved?
The original bounds of integration are $0 \le y \le \sqrt{16-x^2}$, and $0 \le x \le 4$.
What does this look like?
Azyrashacorki
Yeah so it's definitely circular. y is from 0 though, so we're restricted to the upper half of the disk
And moreover, x is from 0, so we're restricted to the first quarter of the disk
Does that make sense?
yes
So the first quarter is delimited by angles 0 and pi/2
that makes a lot of sense
i never really considered integration bounds as actual bounds for some reason :/ thank you

My question was, if Pi is an irrational number with an infinite number of decimal places which are not recurring. Then how can it be represented as the quotient on dividing the the length of the circumference by the length of the diameter (which in the form of a rational number; p/q : p=/= 0)?
Wouldn't that make Pi rational??
p/q is only defined as rational if p and q are integers
Recall that the definition of a rational number requires that BOTH p and q be integers
the circumference and the diameter can't both be integers
no, because the radius being an integer precludes the circumference being one, and vice-versa

`Im new to math and i tried to do an equation of adding fractions with different denominators and i got a weird result.
Its 4/6+1/2=14/12
And i calculated it by multiplying the denominators: 62=12
and cross multiplying the numerators with the denominators: 42=8 and 1*6=6, and then added them together. 8+6=14
Is this a correct method to solve the equation? 14/12 seems incorrect.
If it is incorrect, please do tell me whats the correct method of adding fractions with different denominators.`

or just use ` on each side of a message to put it in code mode like this, that'll work too
14/12 is correct but it can be simplified further
Thank you
np
Yes thats the equation
well 14/12 is correct but it could be simplified
But i dont understand how its correct, 14 fractions out of 12?
yeah 14 parts out of 12
it's like if there are 12 slices in a pizza and you have 14 slices
you have a whole pizza, plus an extra 2 slices
14/12 of a pizza
OHH
Okay that makes sense, so its not ONE shape, its a shape divided into 12 + 2 more slices
Is this how you further simplify the answer?
nope
but its a representation of what you said
you have 12/12 of a pizza, meaning 1 whole pizza
and 2/12 of a pizza, or 2 slices
Okay, i understand now. Thank you both.
np
now if you want to simplify it
what number divides both the numerator and denominator
without remainder
Elaborate please. Im new to this.
No.
do you know what factors are
the method is valid, but inefficient
instead of just taking the product of the denominators,
consider their lcm so that you don't need to make numbers larger than needed
Yes, i do.
7 by 2?
yes
1 and 14 is also a factor technically
so its 1, 2, 7, and 14
now list the factors of 12
2, 6, 3, 4
1 and 12 are also factors
so its
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12
now do you notice any numbers which are the same between the two numbers you factored
1 2 7 14
1 2 3 4 6 12
1, 2
2
thats the GCF
of 14 and 12
greatest (largest) common (meaning both numbers have it as a factor) factor
now divide the numerator and denominator by the gcf you found
So for numerators
4/2=2
1/2= 0.5
Denominators
6/2=3
2/2=1
whar
What 😭
14
So the fraction of that entire equation when simplified is 7/6? And unsimplified is 14/12?
yes
you could actually arrive straight to that
if you simplified 4/6
in 4/6 + 1/2
is there any instructions in what form the fraction should be in?
There arent any instructions in the video im watching except for how to calculate it, which is the method i showed above.
well ok
you can leave it as 7/6
or you can transform it into mixed number / whatever people call it

as you can infer from that diagram the answer is no
a cylinder is an extended circle, and a parabolic cylinder is an extended parabola
you can't make a circle using two parabolas so the same applies here

if i know that i have a collection linear equations that have 3 variables, and the following two solution are true for the system:
(0, 1, 2)
(2, 0, 1)
then how do i know if the solution (1, 1, 1) could be true for that system to?
as in, is there such system?

Hello, first time asking for help here!
I'm a bit confused by higher order differences, as derived by Wikipedia at least, I was looking at various documents but this one is particularly confusing for me (This is the relevant section, second-order central approximation of f''(x)).
Particularly, shouldn't we use h/2 instead of just h as shown by the central difference formula?
are you talking about this formula?
I should've clarified my bad, I mean this one:
here they get the n/2 part right
Alright, so the correct second order approximation of the second derivative is just $\frac{f(x+h)-2f(x)+f(x-h)}{h^2}$ right?
Alex.-

ah here they do
ok yeah
everything is the way it should be then

im a bit confused on part d
wouldnt there be an infinite number of integer pairs that satisfy that equation in r and s?
it looks like its just asking what x and y pairs satisfy f(x) but theres an infinite number of them
No
its only asking for integers
key is integer
yeah
if you draw the y = k and let k vary theres gonna be so many intesections
oh wait
im dumb
Yeah but not that many will have both x and y be integers
some of those intersections are gonna have decimals in the coordinates
alright i see why i was wrong there
so how would i go about solving the question
try polynomial dividing
yep done that

Find the convergence radius of $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{2^n}$
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
would you be able to solve this if this was x^2n instead?
geometric series, yes
but it isn't
I tried a substitution
,,\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^{2^n} =\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^{2^n} + x = \sum_{\log_2(u)=1}^\infty x^{u} + x
it's the same logic though
also that is wrong, the first equals sign speicifcally
how the sum has infinite terms
wouldnt affect the radius
i mean that's true but the sums are not the same
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
for x>1, x^(very big even power) explodes in value
yea
same thing for x < -1
that's the answer
hmm
does the sequence going to 0 imply the series converges? i thought it was a necessary but insufficient condition
necessary but insufficient, right, but idk how that affects this problem
yea true lol
Can you say that x^(2^n) > x^n for every n and every x > 1
you can also show that \
$\lim_{n\to \infty} x^{2^n}$ has a convergence radius of [-1; 1]
artemetra
and then eliminate -1 and 1 because in those cases the sum doesn't converge
which gives the answer (-1; 1)
the series diverges when x = 1. that implies the radius is at most 1. clearly the series converges if |x| < 1
the n = 2^n doesnt make sense to me
there, done
that's a statement not a proof
this should read [ \limsup_{n \to \infty} \sqrt [n] {\abs {a_n}} ]
that "clearly" is working overtime
it’s clear to me
wtf
i know
wtf
that's why i am here lmao
,, a_n = \begin{dcases*} 1 & f"ur $n = 2^k$ \ 0 & sonst \end{dcases*}
I think they meant n = 2^k xd
it's anothet one
n = n + 1
I tried something like this
,,\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^{2^n} =\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^{2^n} + x = \sum_{\log_2(u)=1}^\infty x^{u} + x
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
Let $2^n = u \Rightarrow n = \log_2(u)$
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
you what
wtf is happening here
I just made a substitution
you what
holy
unholy
h
discrete substitutions are unholy
sorry for trying things, i guess
discrete substitutions into the continuous realm
it’s ok we are sorry for bullying you
Speak for yourself!
i think layla's plan is the best ngl
obviously diverges for x=1
for $x > 0$, you have
[ \sum_{n = 0}^\infty x^{2^n} \le \sum_{n = 0}^\infty x^n ]
which converges for x < 1
exactly what i was thinking
Hey that’s nearly what I said
i wasnt thinking of that as the justification though
you're just adding in terms
positive ones at that
Yeah you’re picking only specific ones of the x^n series
brb need to pick groceries
So if x^n converges…
Is it not inconclusive when = 1?
guess i can make that trivial argument
you should
fuck you
my plan is the best according to both me and snow
no fuck you
what

i did the 2nd bit to get 47 but apparently im dumb
thats what i did
ignore the messy writing ahah
wdym?
I can't understand the reason for doing any of that
and also that is not the inverse tan of 1.076...
@brittle nebula Has your question been resolved?
the number was longer
wait ok so
i did 46 squared plus 46 squared then square rooted it to get 46 root 2
umm
nvm
You should use a degree symbol though
Anyways you don't need angles here
you have a right triangle right
one leg is 46√2 and the other is 70
sorry i only use degree so normally i dont specify it 😭 mb
yeah
np I was being dumb
The hypotenuse is the length of the stick that's inside the box right
yeah
yeah i did that bit but i cant do part b
sorry i didnt specify 😭
i dont know waht that means
Radians are a different way of measuring angles
2π radians is equal to 360 degrees
So
ooh okay
,w 47.097 * 2π/360
^
this would be the answer in radians
The only other thing I can think is that you need more digits of precision
it says its wrong
yeah no i did it as precise as i couldve
ill just blame the website 💀
,w 46sqrt(2)
@brittle nebula Has your question been resolved?
Hint: the length standing out will be the 99 - the length of the longest diagonal of the cuboid. The angle will be arcsin(the length of the perpendicular from the upper end of the diagonal to the base (basically the edge present at one end or the other of the diagonal)÷length of longest diagonal )
No worries
If you didn't get it
We did that one already
ah the angle
What lol
actually maria didnit
did it
Before I got here
a
b neither of us can figure out what's wrong with our answer, she used arctan instead of arcsin but with the appropriate sides
yeah thats part A i was able to work it out but we dont get part b
Hmm ig it should be easy
^^
no its degree
and in degrees the answer is 47
but it says its wrong
it rounds down though
let me check 48
says its wrong again
Type the angle in radians then
Let's see what it says
says its wrong aswell lol
My bad, the quiz is drunk, we need rehab right away
Gosh, I gotta sleep
Take care, sis
Oh yeah btw listen to John Legend's "All of Me" if you haven't listened to it
...
Because for us the assessments are usually online MCQs
And yeah even if we have numericals they'll try to ensure that all's well
Idk wth is wrong with this one
Or maybe type it all out like arctan(70/46√2)
Idk
Nah, I didn't do anything with pen and paper so lol I didn't try literally
Leave it

it's been a while since I've taken a math class, why are these the same/how do you get from the first to the second?
$$\ln{y}=2\ln{x}, y=x^2$$
PolloTundra | Aidan B
there is a property that aln(b) is the same thing as ln(b^a)
you can bring powers down from the arguments of logarithms, and vice versa, you can bring coefficients up as powers
so 2lnx is the same as ln(x^2)
oh, dang
and if ln(y) = ln(x^2), you can easily get to the second equation
either by concluding that the arguments have to be the same
or by exponentiating both sides
to cancel the logs
just like:
$$(\ln{y})^e = (\ln{x^2})^e$$
PolloTundra | Aidan B
or do you exponentiate some other way? it's been a while since I've done logs
it’s more so
$$e^{\ln y}=e^{\ln x^2}$$
