Well not exactly
Don’t u like take x intercept into place
Sorry I meant y
And make the x zero
Then divide?
Knowing that it's going to be (0, ___) form, what options do you have to left?
I’m pretty sure u take your intercept meaning x becomes zero
Look at the option choices
So it will be 2(0) minus 4y equals to 12
You have 4, you can eliminate some choices because you know that the proper form is going to be (0, ___)
Are you keeping or eliminating?
Eliminating
Yup
Mhm it’s negative 3
So what answer choice is it?
B
CaptainNova22
That means if you plugged in 3, you should result in a y value of 0, correct?
Exactly
Hm I solved d
It’s d
ORETTY sure
U equal it to zero then u cross multiply it?
Or am I panicking sorry
You can do that but you can also plug in 3 for x
And simplify and see what you get
Mhm it’s positive negative 3 meaning d is the correct answer perhaps
Well what happened when you plugged in 3?
I'm asking you for choice D, if you plugged in 3, what do you get?
Yea 3-9/(3)
And that simplifies to?
Yes, and do the same with -3
0?
Yes
Is that for y axis?
What do you mean
So the answer is?
No, the answer choice
Oh d
Yes
TYSM
No problem

How to reverse this function
f(x) = x³ + 3x² -3x + √x

!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.
Its just reversing function
For example if I want to reverse this
f(x) = x - 1
It will be like this
f‐¹(x) = x + 1
It can't be done
But perplexity did it
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).
But it was working
It was not
I tested the reversed function
If you already have it, then why are you asking how to do it then?
I want know the way
It's this
f‐1(x) = (x-√x)^1/3
I want know the way
Ow
It's not true
Yea u was right
How I can know it can't be done
AI puts out garbage
Because solving it would involve solving a sixth order polynomial, which can't be done by normal means
Alr thx

Why is not -3?
I didn't go over all the work in your picture but found that when you multiplied the two sets of parenthesis, you should have got -x^2 -6x -9 where you got +6x, this likely messed up the rest of the problem
oh right, thanks

how do I do this without using a graph
you can use distance formula on pairs of points then add them together
hm
(distance formula on A and B) + (distance formula on A and C) + (distance formula on B and C)
that is alot of distance formulas
is that more efficient than the box method on the graph
the box method is still the same calculation
consider where youre getting those lengths from
if youre skipping graphing, the triangle that forms when you connect one point to another cant be seen
but you still know its lengths
you can see here the triangle is 4 across and 4 high
from -2 to 2
from 1 to 5
yea so its equally efficient as the box method

what is "formality" in mathematics
and how do i learn more about it
Its the method of writing proof, and its an important thing, students (and more) are not neccessarly understanding the statement of a theorem, theyre must be a demonstration with a rigorous vision of the question.
Rather, developing their intuition for the matter, which is severely deficient when they start the course, should be a priority.
Rigor is used for checking the correctness of the finished product, not for creating it in the first place
I thank you, but formality is subject to ambiguity
this one notion is likely a restriction of the definition as you are describing it explicitly as a method for proof writing, not to mention rigor is also subjecy to ambiguity
subject*
for instance
a formal construction of a set is not a proof.
unless i am mistaken
<< Don’t worry about sets. We have them formalized. There do exist interesting questions at the extreme edges of set theory, but they have very little impact on the rest of math, and they won’t be helped by a “formal definition” of what a set is. >>
I got this from an online discussion from quora
again, your use of formal here contradicts your explanation
well
regurgitated explanation
@blissful sentinel please pardon me for the ping, can you please help me here?
What is yours definition of formal ?
why me specifically 😭
If i was familiar with a reliable; structured, extended notion of formality, i wouldn't be asking for a definition that may be within that same scope
what i was saying; is that the notion of formality is ambiguous
you have more experience and are often present in help channels
Please don't ping specific helpers unless they've given you permission to, it's against the rules
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic#Formal_logic This link may be useful to you
if you are interested in learning logic I recomend "For all x: Calgary"
sorry (yes i know that i've pinged you again.)
okay, but in respect to sets; what would "formal construction of a set" mean

i've found a definition, however; i want to verify my understanding
would it be correct to consider the axioms defining properties of elements of a field (for instance, the reals) as an axiomatic system, then a formal system?

is that always True ?
power set surely
Then idk off the top of my head
power set
its easy but the problem is that why that is true and this
false
Un ptit dessin aiderais pas mal pour voir si c'est potentiellement vrai ou faux
That’s false because the left side doesn’t contain any subsets of A ∪ B that has things from A and B in them
Whereas the right side has all of those
la premiere avec l intersection est toujours vrai mais l autre est fausse pourquoi

if we say A = {a} and B={b} so P(A u B) = { o , {a}, {b}, AuB } and P(A)uP(B) = {o , A,B}
Yeah
so its false
It doesn’t have the subset containing both the things in A and the things in B
Which in your example is {a, b}
but this true right ?
yes
I don’t know off the top of my head but it sounds true
yes i prove it
and that s make me confused bec one FALSE "U" but the other one TRUE

I don't remember the formula right now
@grizzled forge
Umm we’re not meant to use that formula I think
This is rates of change hw lol
Bro he asked temperature right
Umm it’s 11 degrees
That’s what the ans says
Listen you don't average form of Newton's cooling law
Wait imma give you the formula
ans?
Answer
Hold on, which grade is this.
Year 11 maths extension 1 Australia
It kind of relates to the mass of water.
You prolly foreign lol
Nah, australia as well.
Ohk lol
This must be heisi.
delta T/delta t=K[(Tf+Ti)/2 -T0]
Apply this
Delta T change is temp. Of object
delta t time in which it changes
K a constant
Tf+Ti sum of initial and final temp of object
T0 temp of surrounding
Apply this
Umm I don’t mean anything bad by this but I kinda wanna solve the problem using like rates of change yk? It’s just that I wanna like practice it like yk
Listen first apply for initial conditions and find k
Then apply for 2nd case you will get 11
Bro but how
How can it be determined simple rate
Wait actually one sec
That formula near the bottom, is that what u were talking abt?
I solved it 😁
You don’t need to use newtons cooling for this
My ans was actually 10.83 but the actual ans was rounded to 11

Hi guys, I have something like in the image, but I only have access to the edges (PointA, PointB) and now I want to know, which edges belong to a cell. How could I calculate that?
What I was thinking so far, go over every edge, then take all the connected edges to PointA and PointB and take the edge with the smallest/biggers angle and continue until reaching the first Edge again. And in the end eliminate all duplicates
like, you're given a dot and want to know the edges that go around that dot's cell?
yes
🙂
but i don't know the position of the dot i even need to find them
but i found, that I might need to create a dual graph for that is that right?
I just have the edges, I want to know all the faces and their belogning edges.
i don't understand...
say i just have the edges. what are you requesting?
i want to get all the cells, so i know which edge does belong to which cell, in the process i need to figure out how many cells there are as well as what edges belong to it
no 🙈
i think i need to generate a dual graph for that, but if you got a simpler solution I'm all yours!
ok this is stupid but pick any point in the plane. say the green point. to find the cell edges you can point rays in various directions and find the first line segment that intersects them
you'd have to make a good way to choose rays
but after that pick another point that isn't in that cell and repeat
until you've made them all
also don't pick any points that are on any line segments
yea, but two issues, I have to figure out where to put the points, which might be possible trough the edge points but i dont know for sure where a cell is
also i kind of have to cast an infinite amount of rays to know where the edges are you also are missing two in your drawing
yea, i wasn't trying to draw them all gotten
it won't really be infinite, eventually you'll find them if your picking method is decent
but how many rays do i have to cast until i find the top left and right
but i think i need to create a dual graph
depends how you pick them
you could look for corners instead
yea but it seems quite complex and with a lot of pitfalls doing it with the rays
that's why i said it was stupid
but i appriciate the effort! 🙂

I dont see what I did wrong
1/(x^2 - 2x + 5)
1/((x-1)^2 + 4)
1/(u^2 + 4)
1/2(arctan((2)(x-1)) + C
how did you get the last line
$\int\frac{1}{x^2+a^2}dx=\frac{1}{a}\arctan(\frac{1}{a} x)+c$
why is 2 being multulied to the (x-1)
Max
2 should be in division^
But what about this?
I always do a*x inside the arctan or arcsin
And get the right answer
But what about the (1/sqrt(8)) infront of it tho? wouldnt that just be (sqrt(8)) then?
could you show your work?
I just learned this formula
show your steps from the beginning
Like this?
yes
1/(x^2 - 2x + 5)
1/((x-1)^2 + 4)
1/(u^2 + 4)
1/2(arctan((2)(x-1)) + C
for the question you just posted
for why you thought you should have ax instead of x/a
I just put it into the formula, except a infront of the arctan instead of 1/a
how did you get sqrt8) for a
Thats just what gives me the right answer
because its 1/(1/sqrt(8)) no?
how did you get that
Wait sry
I didnt I had 1/(sqrt(8)) for a
But I don't understand, if I used the this formula for the 2nd question I posted it would've been wrong, no?
1/(1/sqrt(8)) * arctan(x/(1/sqrt(8))
you're missing some stuff
specifically the factor of -5/8 you supposedly factored out in the first step
Why -5/8? Why not just -5?
$\frac{1}{8x^2+1}$ isn't in the form $\frac{1}{x^2 + a^2}$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
how did you even get a = 1/sqrt(8)
Ahhhhhh
I see the issue now
OK 1 moment I will try to solve the first one
OK I think I got it
Thanks!

hey rlly struggling with ii) ive got this far
not sure where to go from here
would rlly apprecaite any help as ive been on it for a while
@last canyon Has your question been resolved?
Not sure what steps you’re making here
well i divided by sin2x-sqrt3cos2x (if theta=x) on both sides as its a common factor
Did you then consider the case when this might be zero?
it says it isnt as sinx +cosx does not equal zero
plus since its a common factor on both sides can i not just cancel it out
How would you be able to draw the conclusion that sin2x - sqrt3 cos 2x can’t be zero from that?
No in general you can’t if may be zero
if its zero then sice its timesing both sides the whole thing is zero=zero
Yup, which is a solution you might miss
zero=zero?
ah ok
So you’ll have to separately see when this factor is zero to get the full solutions
Yup!
Good but be carful here, you’re forgetting again that cos(2x) might be zero aswell
So consider that case too
why
how would i know to do that
so when i get thes questions, should i consider that either side could equal zero
Well in this instance it won’t actually matter as the LHS can’t be zero when the RHS is
why
But it’s good to always be careful when you’re dividing by something potentially zero
Can sin x and cos x simultaneously be zero?
no
Also you’re missing a few solutions here
but if sin2x-sqrt3cos(2x)=0 both sides can be zero
From tan(2x) = sqrt(3)
Yeah, because the terms themselves don’t necessarily have to be zero
Well that you already did
Yes the concept is right, but not quite all of them here again
not the negative ones?
So when you take arc tan on both sides, notice that any pi turn is also a valid solution
how?
Up to the restriction of phi of course
we have that tan(x+pi) = tan(x)
ahhhhhh
So more generally you have that 2phi = pi/6 + n*pi
Where n is some integer such that phi is in [0, 2pi]
would it not be 2phi=pi/3+pi
,w arctan(sqrt(3))
yup
You’re right!
Yup!
Now you could just check for which n, phi is in between 0 and 2pi and even potentially at them
cool
And there you have some of the solutions, but potentially not all of them of course for the original equation
yup
ill write this down give me a wee sec
i htink it can go up to when n=3
it cannot be negative however as pi/6-pi/2
is negative
It might be worth in the end to also check when sin x + cos x is zero to exclude them
Yup!
why? sorry i dont rlly get that part how that relates to this, do u mind explaining?
Hm well maybe too early to mention but since we have that sin x + cos x can’t be equal to zero, we should probably check when in fact this is zero to exclude potentially illegal solutions
ok
But this step can be done whenever, so don’t worry
But as long as you don’t forget it
So 3pi/4 and 7pi/4 are solutions you should exclude if needed
Where was this for?
here
Right as I said above, whenever you divide or multiply by something potentially zero, we can have problems
We could miss or introduce new solutions respectively
It’s not any different from the example x(x-1) = 0
Or if you say multiply by zero you can sometimes introduce solutions, say you have the equation x = x + 1
This has no real solutions
But if we multiply by a constant zero
We introduce solutions (illegally)
Since 0=0 is valid for all x
Read before you disturb
?

Huh?
ok so what u are saying is if the common factor did =0
like we have found, all our solutions found are invalid?
Oh trigno equations
Not quite, this is the other way around
You started with an equation that can be zero on both sides
That is valid
for safety whenever you find solutions in trigno equations satisfy in the original equations
ahhh ok i see
But when you divide that factor away you lose that solution
ahhhhh ok
So divide can crudely be though of as removing solutions
Cz sometimes when u put any operation solutions vanish
While multiplying can crudely be thought of as adding solutions
got it
whats this about then
Well in this instance, I noticed that whenever cos 2x = 0, it actually didn’t matter since it gave no solutions
I.e sin and cos can’t be simultaneously zero
So in that case it was fine to divide, but we don’t know that beforehand
So we have to check
Well if we go back, what did you have left after taking away the common factor?
Sorry what?
Oh right yeah
Precisely, we’ve accounted for when it is zero
Which in this case also turns out be solutions
So now we can exclude these
And divide by that common factor
so we have 2cos(2x)=sqrt6(sinx+cosx)
Mhm
then cosx-sinx= sqrt(3/2)
Hm, how ?
I’m playing dumb here because there’s an important step you’ve missed in this, and I would like to see your reasoning
Yeah so while your solution may be correct, in general there’s an important step which is the same one I’ve mentioned again and again
becuse sinx+cosx
the thing we end up dividing by and timesing by does not equal zero
Right that is correct, but before this
What do you do?
You’ve multiplied by something correct?
Yup!
okie dokie
Because if not we could be introducing solutions
ok
so
when we check this
these solutions are ones we exclude
becuse they are added
Yes almost!
almost? what am i missing lol
It could be the case that the equation before actually has a solution like this
ah ok
So if we remove it, we remove an actual solution too
so what do we do?
So we check when cos x - sin x = 0
And then see if our equation right before 2cos(2x) = sqrt(6)(sin x + cos x) satisfies any of these
If not we exclude them like you said
An example to illustrate this is say the equation x = 0
Certainly is x = 0 a solution
Multiplying by 0 we have 0 = 0
But all x satisfy this equation
i see
So if we remove all x, then we also remove the correct solution x = 0
yup
Now we’ll have to (sadly) check these with the equation before
Incase they happen to be actual solutions
Notice the problem we have by ending up like this
Then we have to check all real x
pi/4 dsnt work
Which is not really possible
Correct!
Nice!
ok so now we know to exclude these solutions
Correct
And I might hear you say, that all of this work is really painful and I agree. In some instances you can solve the problems slightly differently to avoid doing stuff like this
that sounds like my lecturer lol
And remember how we ended up like this? It’s because we either divide or multiply by potentially zero stuff
Lmao
Yup!
ok so now do we just continue
Yeah
And as you mentioned cos x + sin x is non zero so we can confidently divide that away like you already did
Then you have a final equation to solve
Oh I noticed a redundancy here, was quite confused what happened
hm?
So when we had 2cos(2x) = sqrt(6)(sin x + cos x)
yup
You don’t have to multiply by anything
hm?
Just notice that cos(2x) = cos^2x - sin^2x = (cos x - sin x)(sin x + cos x)
So you can divide sin x + cos x here directly
ah
So sorry about the work you just did above
Eh, that’s how we learn stuff!
In any case we have a final equation left and then we’re done
If we haven’t missed anything else
Hm, a useful trick is to know how to rewrite a sum acos x + bsin x
Have you seen it before?
ah
i feel i definetly have but have indeed forgotten it
in fact i definetly have a while back in secondry school lol
Mhm all is good! I half remember it only, but we should be able to derive it again without much effort
cool
I’ll directly do it on the sum we had, so assume we can write cos x - sin x = Asin(x + B)
yup
Where A and B are to be determined
By using addition formula for sin we have in the RHS that
Asin(x + B) = A(sinx cosB + cosx sin B)
Would you agree?
can we use this, this is what i remember
sorry ahaha this is what i have in my head didnt mean to interrupt
So A = sqrt 2
Yeah B in this case seems to be 3pi/4
Yeah alright cool!
wait why sorry
Now you can rewrite cos x - sin x as sqrt(2)sin(x + 3pi/4)
I’m terrible with the formula but I just solved the system cos B = -1/sqrt2 and sin B = 1/sqrt2
hm wait
could i write it as kcos(x-pi/4)
but using this i got α=pi/4
ahhhhhhh
forgot my minus 1
nvm know what i did
It might not be taking into account the quadrants
I think that formula only works for the 1st and 4th quadrant iirc
In any case, let’s use cos
Then we can rewrite cos x - sinx as sqrt(2)cos(x+pi/4)
Or -pi/4
true
So that’s why it becomes +pi/4
Because you have to be careful since this formula only
Works for the 1st and 4th quadrants iirc
Ye so just replace that in your equation from before
And it should be easier to solve
We have two scenarios here
hm
x+pi/4 = pi/6 + 2pi n
ah
ok so could n not just be k? sorry if that sounds dumb i just dont understand this part
Yeah it could, just thought I’d use a different letter, since I sometimes think using the same letter might be confusing when they’re (possibly) not even the same
Yeah that could be possible, remember k or n are just whole numbers, so it doesn’t really matter how you write it down
As long as you find the right n and k, such that x is in between 0 and 2pi
if n is any integer tho, does it not account for k
Nope that was a falsehood I always had, I thought that since we wrote n all the time I could use the same n, for the other cases, but there are (rare?) instances where n and k are most definitely different integers
ah ok i dont think ive been taught that yet
i think for what ive been taught stick to n for now maybe
but good to know
so x=-pi/12 +2pin
It’s just a dumb artifact of laziness and it causes confusion as soon as we have more cases to consider, so good to use different letters imo
Yeah, but remember n from this solution might be different the other one you had
So we can’t just use the same n we found
ok but where did k come from
it’s just the same as 2pi *n, aka some amount of whole turns
ok
ahhhhhhh
no i get it now
bevuse it could be a different amount of terms but equal the same
So k here is signifying that it might require a different amount of turns, because if we use the same letter n again, we might falsely think we can just use the same amount of turns again to avoid checking for what n it’s valid
I hope I’m not confusing you further, just think k here is some letter to mean any whole number
yeah i get it now
So if you decide to use n, just remember we’ll have to check for which n it’s valid again even if you’ve already done it for the other case you had
Alright cool!
so for solutions we have all the ones when we looked at the common factor before
and now these two we just found?
Wait which two was it?
Not sure if that was clear
Yeah I think this is a perfect example actually when k and n is different
But I do have to admit it might be obvious in this instance to see why, so it’s not really surprising
why?
@tawny hollow
i rlly have to go now so sorry if i do not respond but i rlly apprecaite all you help
since cos(-x) = cos(x), so if x = -pi/12 + 2pi is a solution with n = 1, then so should -x, but then we have a negative solution, so we need to tweak n
yeah no worries!

what's tg? tangent?
maybe factor out the 1+tan^2
I did that
and use some trigonometric identities
give me a second @woeful stream
if I substitute cos x = t it wouldn't be right I suppose?
maybe the whole sin x / cos x?
what identity do you know involving $1+(\tan{x})^2$
Element118
hint 2: what is the derivative of $\tan x$
Element118
you can [find the derivative]/[differentiate] sin x/cos x
2/ cos^2 (x)
right?
chain rule?
oh nvm
is that thinghy
when you have f'(x) * f(x) = f(x)^2/2? @woeful stream right?
you seem to have an extra factor of 2
it's 1/cos^2 x?
yeah, not sure what error you made, check again
saw it thx
$\frac{d}{dx}\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\frac{\cos x\cos x-\sin x(-\sin x)}{(\cos x)^2}$
Element118
yea it was a mistake on my part
do you see how to solve the integral now
I see the first part because it is f'(x) * f(x)
but the second part is f'(x) * f^2021(x)
integration by substitution?
I know this equals to tg^2 x /2
because it's the formula
thinghy
but the second is idk lmao
OH WAIT
I SUBSTITUTE
TG(X) = T
AND THE DERIVATE IS DT
right?

I really do not understand how this works still...
If I let u = a constant, how is that a helix?
I can't even tell if u is the red or blue here.
I would imagine red since blue would be the 'angle' provided by v, or how much of a circle it completes.
but then how is the red a helix?
This is not a very helpful thing to say
(In the future, don't delete Moderator pings so that other moderators can see that the ping was addressed btw)
oh, whoops, sorry
no worries
u here is the distance from the z-axis
so if we keep u constant and only move along the v grid curves, we'll get the blue one
Which is a helix
And if you keep v constant and only vary u, you'll get the red line
I think you're confusing keeping a variable constant vs changing a variable.

hi
was the hint i gave you of any help?
@faint frigate Has your question been resolved?
i wasnt able to tget any further
@urban edge
what happens if you keep putting in more 12s to the set {6,12,12}
the mean of smaller set approaches mean of all integers?
yes
but dont there have to be three distinct numbers
what would be the best choose of three diatinct integers if you want a small difference?
yeah three consecutive intgers
it might be easiest to think about -1,0,1
then keep adding 0s until the two means are close enough
keep repeating the middle term?
how would i write out a solution though
and how do we know this is the smallest value for x
just to confirm this is just to make thinking easier right
yes
because all the integers are +ve
thats true
you can always put the middle integer as 0 and then you want to minimize the difference between the negative terms and positive terms
?
because solving like this we get k = 2027
remember the difference between these two are less than 1/2025
