U can compute magnitude of v vector from given information
After u do so to compute |u+v| u just square it as square of a vector is equal to its magnitude
IIvII is -12
I dont follow sry
|u+v|² = |u|² + |v|² + 2*u•v
Yes
Or did you work it out?
Ah ok
So its just something to remember, you didnt get it algebraicly or something?
Careful in 2*u•v it's a dot product not simple multiplication
Ah true
No worries haha
Thanks for your help 😇

Hello
Is it possible to have the third integral boundaries as functions also?
Then it would give us a function not a volume though
From what I know the inner integral has bounds that depends on the outer integration
So I'd say basically no
Would that mean it is also not possible to integrate a sphere?
That doesn't need the outer bounds to be a function
The idea here is you are essentially parametrizing your volume
So at some point you need something independent to describe the shape
Since the shape is fixed
You expect to get a number out of the integral
If the outer bounds were a function
You would get the result as a function of the variable which the out bound is a function of

y = mx + c
-1 = m(0) + c
-1 = c
y = 7x/6 - 1 is the equation of the line

quick question about fractions
when working with unknown variables such as 6a/6
it becomes a
but 6/6a becomes 1/a
what's the general rule for this?
is it because the denominator in the second fraction is a variable so it will always be a fraction?
6a/6 is $\frac{6a}{6}$
Jafar / جعفر
Which can be turned into $\frac{6}{6}a$
Jafar / جعفر
So you can see the 6/6 is gone and it turns to just a
i see, so in the second fraction it can't be turned into a as the denominator is a variable?
a / 1 = a
yeah
i mean
where do yuo want the variable to go
what's your expected output
it's in the denominator so it remains in the denominator
there is not really an expected output, im just learning on why 6a/a = a, but 6/6a = 1/a
like Jafar pointed out, in the first one a is in the numerator, in the second one a is the denominator, it doesn't change position with either cancellation when you cancel out the 6
i meant 6a/6, my bad
To get it straight
6a/6 = a
6/6a = 1/a
the second one is where the denominator is a variable, so therefore the outcome is a fraction?
$\f{6a}{6}=\f{a}{1}=a$
It doesn't matter whether it's a variable or not, it's simply what happens when you have numbers in the numerator and denominator like that
ah alright
so a/1 is a simplified as it doesn't change the value of a
ah, so there is no logic behind it, it's just how it simplifies
the same would count in 4a/a = 4 because we can cancel out the a's?
yeah alright, thank you 🙂

The question says:
Determine the real numbers alpha and beta knowing that the function is continuous in R
!status
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
I really don't know where to begin 😭
In that case, do you recall what it means for a function to be continuous?
for example do we allow sudden jumps?
No
The problem is not how to work with the continuous function but the problem is this type of questions if yk what I mean
Uh sure, thats what im trying to help you with; the above is a crucial step
Hello? @hot flare
I'm trying to understand what do u meant here
im asking whether each piece of the function is continuous, take the first piece for example alpha^2 x + 3
would that be a continous function on its own?
Yes
Isn't the lim x>1 equal to f(1)?
sure, but im also taking about all other x's
This is crucial i think because what you might notice is that we have 3 pieces of continuous functions, and what would make them all toghter continuous you think in g?
Since g is basically just gluing these together, where do you think we would need to focus our attention on to ensure continuity of g?
When X is between 1 and 3 ??
Well if x is in-between 1 and 3 we have a continuous function
namely (8-beta^2 x)/(2x - 1)
wouldn't you agree that this piece is continuous?
Wait if it's not the case where we should focus our attention then ??
Maybe the points where we go from one piece to the other?
the jump occurred in 3 and 1 right?
Possibly, for certain alpha and beta yes, so if by assumption g is to be continuous, this (might) give us a way to determine alpha and beta
We want to ensure that the limit exists at x=1 and x=3
and is equal to whatever g(1) and g(3) is resp.
But first how by just knowing these points
We could determine alpha and beta?
What do you mean?
I meant that if we ensure that the lim exists at x Equal to 1 and x Equal to 2 and it is continuous how is that going to help with the determination of alpha and beta??
This puts a constraint on what alpha and beta could be, possibly so much that theyre unique
AHH kkk
However, nothing is in general stopping there from existing multiple alpha and beta, the question only assumes g to be continuous
so if we happen to get multiple alpha and beta, this doesnt mean we're in trouble. That just means there exists more than 1 solution
Ok I get it
Cool!
so try and see if you can make the limits at x = 1,3 exist
one trick is to make the left and right limits be equal
Kk let me try
@hot flare Has your question been resolved?
Can u explain it more??
Do u mean the lim of the right of 1 and the left of 1
So then the function is going to be continuous on 1 right
At this point I'm just doing nothing 😔
So what you can do is just input 1 on both pieces
the one which are next to eachother that is
and set them equal
@hot flare Has your question been resolved?
I think I got it

I thought that if you rewrite the denominator as (s+3)^2 + 1, you could just use the inverse of the first translation theorem. Why is that wrong?
Because the numerator would have to be s+3 as well to use the shifting property
$\frac{s}{(s+3)^2 + 1}$ is not in that form

so the final answer is b = 4 because you use the period of pi/2 to get the answer, what im not understanding is idk how to explain it but the whole calculation at the bottom portion below "now, solve for b" like where did they get b(pi) from, if someone could explain it would be greatly appreciated!
im so confused as to how pi/2 = 2pi/b becomes b(pi) = 4pi

Here I only need to change variables and set the limits
I know another way to solve this
I just wanna know if the way I solved it here is correct or not
@long jackal Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
I believe it is correct yes
I tried it on another problem
and it didn't work
so I donno
what was the original problem asking exactly/originally
yeah i mean what was the original question
what integral was it asking you to evaluate
It was only asking to change variables and limits
to polar coordinates
so what I'm asking is
is it ok to think of this circle as (r goes from 0 to 1) and (theta goes from -pi/2 to pi/2) even though the circle is off centre
its ok to think theta goes from -pi/2 to pi/2 , but now that i think about it i believe the bounds for r are incorrect
lets start off with the circle equation
x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1
convert it into polar coordinates
(rcostheta)^2 + (rsintheta - 1)^2 = 1
Expanding it out it becomes
r^2cos^2 theta + r^2sin^2theta + 1 - 2rsintheta = 1
since sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 it becomes
r^2 + 1 - 2rsintheta = 1
so
r^2 - 2rsintheta = 0
factoring out r it becomes
r(r - 2sintheta) = 0
so the solutions are either r = 0 or r = 2sintheta
r = 0 corresponds to the origin of the circle
and r = 2 sintheta corresponds to the boundary of the circle
so the inner integral should actually be going from 0 to 2*sin(theta) , and the outer integral should still go from -pi/2 to pi/2
im not 100% sure of this but i THINK its correct
oh and btw actually it should go from 0 to pi/2
not -pi/2 to pi/2
since it only covers the first quadrant
aha
so the polar integral should now look something like this
ok so always work from the origin to be the same ?
yup yup
yeah in polar coordinates you always start r and theta at the origin

I'm trying to solve for p and there seems like an infinite p
so when she replaces p by 1/p you get 1, 1/3, 1/9, 1/13, 1/27, 1/39, 1/81
maybe a pattern with numbers in the denominator
Yeh there is but I don't know how to generalize it
Oh wait I think I know it, it's any square of 39 and 13 and 3
Prime powers
Wait i'll try
367/228
P = 1 is possible
The rest is just 1/2, 1/38, and 1/ 12

you can cancel 3r_1
$\frac{3r_1 \cdot 2r_2}{6r_2^2} = \frac{3r_1 \cdot 2r_2}{3r_1 \cdot 2r_1}$\
$= \frac{\cancel{3r_1} \cdot 2r_2}{\cancel{3r_1} \cdot 2r_1} = \frac{2r_2}{2r_1} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}$
artemetra
so your entire LHS is just r2/r1
also i don't think the right solution is 2*r1
should be -2r1
it should
$r_2 = -2r_1$ indeed

Hi, I was kind of confused on something, that being that I thought subarrays were practically the elements of the powerset of a set (array), but when doing that I am generating the wrong output for the code problem I am doing
For example, I thought that for the array [1,2,3] the subarray for this would be [1], [2], [3], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2,3], [1, 2, 3]
But the elements must be continguous?
subarray elements must be consecutive
to get a subarray, you choose "all elements between a and b"
subsequences and subarrays are different
I see
So the subarray for [1, 2, 3] is the same as what I wrote excluding [1, 3] right?

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
First, we need to find the t-score for a 90% confidence level with

is this solution sufficient
it seems extremely sus to me cause i made a bunch of oversimplifications (about how some terms are greater as n approaches inf) but i have no idea how else to solve this one
I'm not sure that the root test is appropriate here
also, i think the sum converges
idk eyeballing it
i guess im talking about the second sum there
i have doubts about the first
no, actually, that should be fine
what is wrong with the second one then
i dont understand what youve done there
😳
oh, you know what
i get it
wont we end up like $\lim a_n \approx \qty( \frac{2}{\sqrt 3})^n$
,calc 2/sqrt(3)
so fails ntt
whats ntt
nth term test
what is that
but idk i have a tendency to be wrong with your questions
ohhh do you remember me 
the nth term of a series has to limit towards 0
oh
only because i helped you a handful of times that day all the airports got shut down
i was right i think ... only one time
oh i see lol
yes i agree with this
its what i was trying to say for the second sum but i didnt know how to convey it well
but like if you do root test over that limit you get 2/√3 which is still more than 1
so it divergers
root test isnt appropriate here
why
root test is for series that are raised to the nth power
not for tests involving a root
unless 
i guess i see what youre trying to do
but the limit is literally raised to n?
well yes
you need to connect to the loose approximation, presumably
this argument isnt gonna hold water to your prof
yes thats what im worried about
but like i dont know if there even is a perfectly mathematically sound solutioin here without making approximations
this is the posted solution btw
okay, yea
so they also used (2/√3)^n
so thisk is fine
yay!
do you understand the argument
also how exactly do you end up with this limit
it just leading order
like in theory you could expand out the summand into some other representation
of hopefully less and less significant terms
if we truncated this hypothetical expansion at a single term
it would be this one
(primary behavior for large parameter) + (correcting terms)
yea, basically
getting that expansion is sometimes a bit of work
it could be done here, youll need binomial theorem for non-int, i think
and you will need to split the series
and youl gett something like the second series is $\sum \frac{2^n}{ \sqrt{3^n} \qty( 1 + (\text{small}) ) }$
jan Niku
oh yeah
well im not typing it super great
but you rewrite $\sqrt{3^n+n^3} = \sqrt{3^n} \cdot \sqrt{1 + \frac{n^3}{3^n} }$
jan Niku
the second term is small for large n
that n^3/2 is much smaller than √3^n at inf that you can ignore it
we argue this is $\sqrt{3^n} \cdot \qty( 1 + small)$ by binomial expansion
jan Niku
our expansion becomes approximated $\sqrt{3^n} + ( \text{small} ) \cdot \sqrt{3^n}$
jan Niku

there is some power weirdness 
honestly
i think i wont bother with proving it too rigorously
you can
the profs solution is even shittier so i dont think they care that much
youll need an asymptotic expansion via binomial
and that will cinch it
but yea
your prof seems chill about it
its not

How many pairs of hot dogs do you need to sell to get $1200 then?
6000
yep
Ty
Alternatively, you could compute it as one hot dog giving you $0.1 of profit. But that gets tricky if the numbers don't divide evenly (e.g. if you sell 3 hot dogs for $1.50)

Haha I meant to post this problem
U need to check at 0
Check the function from left and right
Of 0
So 2(0) - 1 = - 1
(0)+ 0 +7 = 7
Since the left side is not equal to the right side the function is not differentiable
@gilded peak
well cosx is always less than 1, so |1-cosx| = 1 - cosx
from that you can simplify this fraction to find the limit
You want cos (0)? Which is pi/2 @harsh canopy
cos(0) isnt pi/2
Cos 0 is 1
OH OH
what?
in some cases you can just sub in the limit point (if its continuous there), but you cant here since the denominator is 0
Ok?
ie you dont sub in 0

Hi, the entire question is quite long so i will just snip to the part where im struggling with
its a volume of object question through rotating around axises and for a portion of the object im realising that my trig substitution for the integral isn't working
im quite certain ive done it correctly but its currently
integrating from -a to a sqrt(a^2-x^2) dx
What was your trig sub?
this integral can simply be solved by considering the area of a circle
well i think its more so of a technical issue
im aware that it is solvable via that way
but ive actually yieled 5pi a^2/2 instead of pi^2/2
*pi a^2/2
Ok, but what was the trig sub you did, so that I can see wether it‘s right or not
acos theta
well its just the bounds really
im yielding different answers depending what bounds i choose to pick
which i hadn't really thought about before
if x = acos(theta), if x = -a we have -a = acos(theta). Solve for theta
my mistakes on forgetting to explicit the problem im facing but its just the fact im yielding different answers
say i choose to pick the theta from the next priod
*period
i would yield a different solution
as for why i have done that, i have a bunch of objects of similar computations and i thought it would have been easier if i tried to shift everything alongside each other so that im not losing track of which one i have done and which one i havent
Of course
Of course to this I mean
Usually you take the first period for substitutions. Because the base function (sqrt(a^2-x^2)) is not periodic
is this a general restriction with trignometric substitution?
i've never really thought about it so it was kinda confusing now that im thinking about it
I‘ll try something one moment
Yeah I‘m not sure. Trying to visualize on desmos but idrk.
im kinda taking shots in the dark here since im only at highschool maths rn but i've done a question before where it makes u prove that the substitution only works if its invertible on the integrating bounds
im not sure if thats related here but
but its the only thing i can recall ive seen that ever mentions on trig subs not working
although the context for this question was the last question of a past paper and it gave u a fair amount of structure to take u through the proof
In my head, the only thing that makes sense to me is that if you look at the graph of the sqrt function, it‘s only a function on [-a,a], so if you pick some theta > a, it no longer makes sense to integrate there
,w plot sqrt(1-x^2)
Like if you pick theta = 3pi or whatever, it doesn‘t make sense to integrate that function over there
yeah that seems reasonable
might just keep this in mind then, math at highschool lvl is just not very strict and im just assuming i missed important theories on substitutions
thx for the response

To be honest, I think math at highschool level is "do this and don‘t ask why", so it‘s cool you‘re experimenting and asking 🙃
its also kinda motivated by the fact that sometimes it comes to haunt me in an exam setting;
the syllabus here lets u pick what level of math u want to do and im doing the hardest thats offered here and sometimes the examiner kinda goes out of syllabus
there has been occassions where they hit u with rather obscure properties or borderline out of the scope of teachers haven't taught
so it always feels a bit more reliable to overprepare

Finally wrapped my head around reflecting a vector across a normal (I think), could someone check this working please? Sorry it's an image but I tend to work on paper
Main thing I am unsure about is the last step of doubling and subtracting the original vector, as well as my understanding of the dot product

Hello chat. Our question today is quite simple. Can someone please provide a geometric explanation of why $\vec{a} \cross \vec{b} = -\vec{b} \cross \vec{a}$?
I've seen the ways of expanding it algebraically and such but I don't think I really understand what's going on here. Like I know that crossing 2 vectors gives a vector perpendicular to both, so does the anticommutativity mean that the vector is pointing the other way or....idk
The Cat Collective
make your thumb, index finger, and middle finger on your right hand perpendicular. Let a be in the direction of your thumb and b your index finger. Then a x b is in the direction of your middle finger.
swap a and b and see what happens
Like this?
yes
$\vec{A}{\times}\vec{B}=|A|\cdot|B|sin(\theta)\hat{n}$ where $\theta$ is the angle measured from the Direction of $\vec{A}$ to $\vec{B}$ and $\hat{n}$ is the unit vector in the direction of resultant. \
Now here, $\vec{B}{\times}\vec{A}=|B|\cdot|A|sin(-\theta)\hat{n}$ the angle will be measured from the Direction of $\vec{B}$ to $\vec{A}$. And since we assumed that angle from the Direction of $\vec{A}$ to $\vec{B}$ is $\theta$ then the angle between $\vec{B}$ to $\vec{A}$ will be of same magnitude but in opposite direction(that's where negative sign came from). \
SO, $\vec{B}{\times}\vec{A}=|B|\cdot|A|sin(-\theta)\hat{n}$ $\implies$ $\vec{B}{\times}\vec{A}=|B|\cdot|A|sin(\theta)(\hat{-n})$ \
and hence $\vec{a} \cross \vec{b} = -\vec{b} \cross \vec{a}$.

Tysm, will read in a sec
that implies you're already choosing a direction for n somehow
are you a physicist by any chance?
bruh no
just completed schools a few months ago

Not really sure what to do here
I know that getting the tangent involves getting the derivative
But the fact that the equations are factorized leads me to think that I am supposed to solve for t?
I know that they want it at the origin so im supposed to set them equal to 0
The factorisation it mainly to make the value of t such that you have a pt at the origin more obvious
I mean the question wants the tangent at the origin, so yeah
Ok, that makes sense, but what is the factorization showing us
The factorisation it mainly to make the value of t such that you have a pt at the origin more obvious
it makes solving for t much easier
than if you had a polynomial that was expanded out
Why do we want to solve for t?
Sry if im asking dumb questions
because you want the tangent line
at the origin?
how else are you supposed to find the value of t to take the derivative at
So I set them equal to 0, then take the derivative? Not the other way around?
do it in whatever order you want
the only important thing is that you need to find the value of t to take the derivative at before you do said calculation
but that's kinda forced by the laws of nature anyway
How sry?
find where x(t)=0 and y(t)=0 so that you're at the origin
What do I do now sry
But theyre both zero at 3 each
I can clearly tell which ones im supposed to pick but I just want to understand the reasoning behind it
you need both coordinates to simultaneously be zero
this means that your value of t needs to make both x(t) and y(t) equal to zero
Ah ok I get you
So do I literally just expand the brackets
Take the derivative
Sub in -1/7
And thats the answer?
Oh wait no
Equation of a line
So thats x and y
you could do that or do triple product rule
Whats that
product rule but for a product of three functions instead of two
you basically do the same thing tho
$(fgh)'=(fg)(h')+h(fg)'$
Civil Service Pigeon
what?
no I'm showing you how to derive it
that's not the finished version
we just applied the product rule where one function is fg and the other is h
Haha yeah I searched it on google
But something im still confused about
What do we actually get when we do this
So do I literally just expand the brackets
Take the derivative
Sub in -1/7
We get two coordinates
Are they just random coordinates on the line?
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y'(t)}{x'(t)} \implies \frac{dy}{dx} |_{t=\frac{1}{7}}=\frac{y'(1/7)}{x'(1/7)}$
Civil Service Pigeon
We get a fraction?
a fraction for what?
y'(t)/x'(t) ?
yeah, that's the formula

can someone help me show why x_n > \alpha for all n in this
Well show that $x_{n+1} - x_n < 0$
YakuBros
yeah i feel like i can't really do that without assuming x_n > \alpha
if you assume x_n > \alpha then it follows immediately
don't assume it, prove it
wait yeah
that's what i'm asking help with
i looked up a few solutions to this exercise and all of them assumed this is true
but didn't show why
which is like insanely sus
Ok
you can show it by computing x_n+1^2 - alpha
x_1 > sqrt(a) > 0
So (x_1)^2 > a > 0 ...
wait wdym
yeah i understand that being positive is equivalent but like
i did that earlier and the expression i got was this
\frac{1}{4}(x_k^2 - 2\alpha + \frac{\alpha^2}{x_k^2})
which is like not a useful expression
it is... (a-b)^2
OH FUCK
i was looking at that expression
and i didn't notice

Solving a rational equation, wondering whats the best way to go about it and want to make sure im right.
i assume the best way is to multiply each by 7t and 5?
wondering if there is an easier way, if i can ignore the 5 or this is the correct wa
You could just multiply through by t, but the useful thing about mutliplying by t, 5 and 7 is that you get rid of fractions.
This means less messing around with common denominators, and in the long run, fewer mistakes :p

i'm unsure what to do here because the null space is just 0?
Why do you need the null space though?
isn't that all of the solutions for the subspace?
The subspace V is just made up of vectors that get mapped to themselves.
The nullspace doesn't have much to do with that. Was that something discussed in a)?
Part A was just proving that V was a subspace
i might be overthinking this
could i just use the equations in the third or second row as the equation?
Isn't that solvable by getting the eigenvalue of the matrix
Then we just put it in the matrix then get the null space
i think you were right that the null space was irrelevant
we just need a linear equation that represents the subspace
Yeah it ends up being equivalent to finding the eigenvalues, but you can also pretty easily write out the equations you need to get, and it turns out you end up with 3 equivalent equations for the plane.
Oh choosing the eigenvalue = 1
3y-2z = x and so on. They will all give the same equation, so you don't need to overthink it.
We just assume the eigenvalue = 1 then we just try to find the equations
wait how do i find eigenvalues my prof has mentioned it like once before
By the way solving for the eigenvalues of the matrix gives 3 identical solution which are all 1
We need to determine the values of h such that
det(A-Ih) = 0
@stoic trout ^
I wrote it as h but most of the text books use lambda
is the eigenvalue the d value here in the linear equation
No
You can determine it from the matrix
Just minus lambda from the diagonal of the matrix like that then take the determinate of the matrix and set it equal to zero then solve for lambda
Like that
Kinda
i dont understand why that works conceptually
wait why is it equal to x?
Do matrix mulitplication on the first component, you want that to be equal to x, since T(v) = v.
So vector (x,y,z) gets sent to vector (3y-2z, x - 2y + 2z, 2x - 6y + 5z) = (x,y,z).
Eigenvalues are the values that for a given eigenvector x it give
Ax=hx
We want to solve for h here so we say
Ax-hx = 0
Ax-Ihx = 0
(A-Ih)x = 0
Here for a matrix A-Ih to make any vector X multiplied by it equal to zero it needs to have a zero determinant so the solution to that equation is
det(A-Ih) = 0 where we solve for h
After solving for eigenvalues it would result that h=1 is repeated 3 times
Which is excepted to get 1 as a solution as it is the only value of eigenvalues that would keep Ax = 1x = x
So we will apply that to A-Ih
Where h = 1 so A-I
Then we solve for its null space to get the solution
Like this
The x - 3y + 2z = 0 is the final solution
tysm, I will go through and parse through all of this to make sure I fully understand
🙏

Closed by @stoic trout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
I think what I said there is confusing though
So don't worry if you don't understand
Actually an easier approach is the approach Azyrasha suggested
Which is take any line from the matrix
Say line2
And set it to
1x -2y + 2z = y
Then simplify it
And it will be the answer
We just set Ax = x
Then take any equation from the equations and it will be the answer
Better @stoic trout ?
yeah i was just experimenting with stuff like that rn

the culition it give me is weired
so 19.2 times 10 12.9 times 10 9.6 times 10 8.8 times 10?

,, \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}}\sqrt{\tan\theta +\sec\theta}\sec^2\theta\dd\theta
𝔧𝔪𝓣𝛾𝜑𝜽
I feel like this is elementary, but my guess is I'm completely missing some trig identity
@hidden kelp Has your question been resolved?
i feel llike taking tantheta as x might work
but then u m8 have to simpllfy it further
im not sure
that gives what I originally started with, namely $\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1+x^2}} \dd{x}$
𝔧𝔪𝓣𝛾𝜑𝜽
sec² is dtan/dO btw
Oh, it ends as that too
rationalize it?
nvm
You can do a sum by its sub substitution by multiplying inside the integral by sqrt(x-sqrt(1+x²))
Then it becomes
sqrt(x²-1-x²)/sqrt(x-sqrt(1+x²))
Oh, thats not easier
yeah I was thinking doing it the trig way would be better cause we get identities
Meaning? Like sin(x/2) and whatnot?
yeah
wait
hm
u grt 1+tan T/2 / 1-tanT/2
from doing that
From doing what?
subtituting tan T and sec T
tan T becomes 2tan T/2 / 1-tan^2 T/2
sec T is just 1/cosT
thats 1+ tan^2 T/2 / 1-tan^2 T/2
u could write that in terms of sin and cos
then turn the numberstor and denominator sin terms
what if you integrate by parts first
on top would be sin(pi/4 + T), down would be sin (pi/4 - T)
what happens with the root when diff.
i'll be honest idrk integration
ik trig
just tryna simplify the thing
oh got it
u can write the term inside the root as tan(pi/4 + T/2)
try it for urself
but again idk if that would help u solve the problem
oh i took extra unnecessary steps
thus can immediatey be written as tan(pi/4 + T/2)
this just complicates it
Wait what does it give, you said you didn't know much integration but maybe reducing it as that helps?
okay?
↑
the inside term can be simplified into tan(pi/4 + theta/2)
inside the square root, that is
it can be factored as (sect-tant)(sect+tant)=1
So we write sect+tant as 1/(sect-tant)
@hidden kelp
would that be simpler to integrate?
itll turn into ln[ abs( sec ....) ]?
Let me know your findings :)
that doesnt make it any better r8?
Wait imma try differently
,,u=\tan\theta + \sec\theta
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
,,\dd \theta = \frac{1}{\sec^2{\theta} +\tan\theta \sec \theta} \dd u
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
,,\int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \sqrt{u} \frac{\sec^2\theta} {\sec \theta \cdot u} : \dd u = \int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{\sec \theta}{\sqrt{u}} : \dd u
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
I thought of that but I don't know how to have sec theta wrt to u
,,\sec\theta = u - \tan\theta = u - \sqrt{\sec^2\theta - 1}
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
Probably leads somewhere honestly
,,\sqrt{\sec^2\theta -1} = u - \sec\theta \Rightarrow \sec^2\theta -1 = (u-\sec\theta)^2
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
quadratic equation
then solve in terms of sectheta
x² - 1 = (u - x)²
,w x² - 1 = (u - x)²
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
,,\int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{u^2+1}{2u\sqrt{u}} : \dd u = \frac{1}{2}\int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{u^2}{u^{\frac{3}{2}}} + u^{-\frac{3}{2}} : \dd u
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
I am tired of this I give up
What now it can be integrated
u^(2-3/2)
Yes it's integrable
Ow
