(y,z)
so
y2-y1=m(x2-x1)
7-0 = m(0-5)
7=-5m
m=7/-5
y= -7/5x + b
b = 7
s= y=-7/5x + y
so y =-7/5z+7
This also works for lines if you have two variables!
But yes it does look like the equation of a plane
It's the intercept form for a line
It looks the same as the intercept form for a plane but only has two variables instead of 3
(It does technically define a plane as well but that doesn't matter here I used this equation to get the equation of the line)
It's fine! The important bit is we have the equation for that line
You can use whatever method is comfortable to you to find it
What do you mean
like
u used a/x b/y c/z = d formula
other way around
x/a y/b z/c = d
let x = 0
so ur left with y/b + z/c = d
I mean that works here because of our circumstance yes
But I used this directly since I knew the y and z intercepts, it works the same way as the plane version
And looks the same since it uses the y and z intercepts
Since we're in the x=0 plane we can find the equation of the line by plugging x=0 into the plane equation, the two methods are exactly equivalent
Sorry if I confused you by that you can use the typical method to find the equation of a line if you'd like
okay okay
nono that makes sense
so basically u used plane u just set x to zero (cuz we smoosh it)
so left with y/a + z/b = D
is there
like certain formula
i can use to abuse these types of problems
like derivtives
u cant always use 1 formula
there are few but if u know them
u can get derivitive of anything
product, chain, quotient
like that
power
same here, doing these types of rpboelms setting up integration bounds, setting up paramters
are there Formula I can just use?
I haven't done enough integrations like this to know of any shortcuts
The most intuitive way I've found is to work it from first principles, I also don't like to memorize arbitrary equations though
Sorry
okok
so if u didnt use plane equation here
howd u solve it
using y =mx+b
formula
it should give u same answer no?
Yes
I think you did something wrong above
When you tried that
Ah you solved for z in terms of y but swapped the variables
Yes
Anyways you should now have your y bounds
I THINK i have an idea kind of
Good!
Correct
then (For me) i find middle easier than inner
because MIDDLE can ONLY have z
so very variale should be Z
y=something Z
Yes
since YZ plane has (0,5,0) and (0,0,7)
im gonna see it like (5,0) (0,7) because its not really in 3d when i view it from there
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
so x1=5
x2 = 0
y1= 0
y2 = 7
7/-5
so m = 7/-5
You've swapped your variables again
You want y in terms of z, so your slope should be (y2 - y1)/(z2 - z1)
Then y = mz + b
No in this case you want y as a function of z so z is like x
You've swapped your vars
z is the independent variable
its just a place holder
tho
no?
wont matter what i call it
i know whats y and whats z
interms of finite number
Try plugging in your values of z for the equation you got
that was the wrong equation
It won't agree with what you should get
this is the way i see it
Given points :(0,0,0), (4,0,0), (0,5,0) (0,0,7)
Since we squashed the X.
There are no X in a yz plane
Given points :A(0,0,0), B(4,0,0), C(0,5,0) D(0,0,7)
these are points
so POint A and Point B are useless
or they lead is ut samething
both are 0
so its orgin
A and B are both orgin
(5,0) and (0,7) two points we an work with
regardless what we call it xyz
my first focus should be to get y=mx +b formula
(y,z) cuz yz plane
im gonna treat it liek (x,y) so i can solve it without visualizing too much
so given those 2 points I think i can solve for y=mx+b equation
m=y2-y1/x2-x1 = 7-0 / 0-5 = 7/-5 = -7/5
m = -7/5
now to solve for y
y-y1=-7/5(x-x1)
plug in 1 point
y=-7/5(x-5)
y=-7x/5 +7
thats what i got
(x,y) = (y,z)
so z=-7y/5 + 7
7y/5 = 7-z
7y=35-5z
y=5-5z/7
is that the same answer u got?
Yep
super mechanical way of doing it
Convoluted a bit maybe but if it makes sense to you that's all that really matters!
okok
but if im given plane equation
i should abuse it huh
y/5 + z/7 = 1
y/5 = 1-z/7
y=5-5z/7
Again if you want to think of it as the plane equation that works here but will not for general shapes
Yeah
If all you're doing is integrating over these particular tetrahedra it works fine but will not for more general shapes
Really the method should be smoosh along the x-axis and find the equations of the boundary lines in whatever way you can
Yep
Yes
Definitely
It's pretty late here and I've been putting off some of my own work but I could quickly give you a pointer or two if you need it!
Sure
Ohh quick question
on the last question
for divergence theorem
lets say it was pointing inward
or outward
all it does is flip the final answer
correct?
No you don't have to worry about that in this case I don't think your answer should be correct
The divergence theorem assumes outward pointing normals
i got some problems pointing IN
Oh interesting
Then your answer for those problems SHOULD be the negative of what you'd get from what you did before
But the flux integral isn't always positive
bbso
so if its pointing OUT
= ALWAYS POSITIVE
if i get negative answer = FLIP
if positive = keep same
IF POINTING IN then..
Answer = negative
If i get positive answer = flip to negative?
No
Perform the divergence theorem as normal. If the normals are pointing outwards do nothing, but if the normals are pointing inwards flip the sign
That's fine in some cases
Sometimes the flux integral is supposed to be negative like I said
okok
Like for the field <-x, -y, -z>
If you had a sphere say with outward pointing normals then the flux integral would be negative
No problem!
Sure but I may not respond all the time!
It may be more convenient to just open a chat here, I'm not active often lol

Guys I have a number series and its first 5 terms, i dont know its logic but i was able to predict its polynomial due to the crazy growth.
okay
For n = 1: 0.0
For n = 2: 6.72
For n = 3: 32.0
For n = 4: 93.06
For n = 5: 210.0
could u tell me how to solve it?
show the full problem, i don't know what you are talking about rn
You want to find a polynomial given its values?
i need to find first 10 terms
all i know is the logic to gain the next term is a polynomial logic
due to the growth of the terms
Result:
2.2566086395874
@deep plume Has your question been resolved?
Can you find any pattern?
If n = 1 is 0
That means you’re dealing with at least a 2 part equation
Or some other way to cancel
Or ln(n)
thats the thing
i hv only dealt with simple ones before
like (where u make two variables or do multiplication or basic squares)
where its logically easy to tell
no so all i know is it involves exponenets(duh) and the growth rate decreases
like its first 300%, then 200% and so on
inductive step proof
Okay
Induction says that if you can prove it for n = 1 then you can prove it for n+1
so i make a formula in which if u apply it on 1 u get 0
and then apply the same formula?
but logicaly it makes no sense? because many logic cn hv same answer
That’s true, then you’ll have a formula that fits the sequence, it doesn’t imply that it’s unique
You can have a lot of ways to get to the number 27
Doesn’t mean the paths a wrong
So yes there may be several equations that make that sequence work
I think you just need one
so since the question never said ifnd the orginal formula, i just need to find the remaining terms
I don’t remember year 9
oh no
this is not part of my syllabus
iim solving an ARG
yes
So you need answers for n=6 through 10
For that you’ll need to create an equation
That holds for the first five terms
so ill do it for 1
then test if same formula works for 2
if it doesnt, give up
make another
(thats basically bruteforcing math?)
?
Yeah essentially brute forcing
so i make an equation so it holds true for one
There’s probably a better way
try same on 1
if it doesnt work
try another equation
and so on
wont that take VERY long?
It shouldn’t because it only needs to hold for n-1,n,n+1
If it works for those it will work for all
isn't that only three terms?
what?
so i assume n as 1 first
test it for -1 and 2
and if it works
it will work for all the terms
since i dont know -1 according to the series
ill take n as 2
So n=2
[ 400.616 683.856 1078.33885714]
It should continue to hold
Lol no worries
il keep this open till i confirm it works ig
I wrote a program and got these
1078.33 IS THE SUm of the 10 terms?
no those are values for n=6,7,8
for 9 and 10, 1602.72457143 2275.67314286
Is it like
let me double check
But ln(n)^n*coefficient works
Ln(2)^5*2 is close
For n is 2
Ln(3)^10*3
Is close for n is 3

fits almost perfectly
I am having a seizure by solving this monstrosity by trial and error
I think you can do it manually
say y = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx+ e
and then you can do like put x = 1 and y =0, then you will get a linear equation in 5 variables
since you have 5 values you can get 5 equations and solve them
then you will get the values of a, b, c, d and e
how did u assume its power is 4 tho?
and not a cubic
or square
also how do u know it follows the general form
what if the equation is random bllshit
that can be true
but if we have a degree 4 equation we can guarantee that it passes through those 5 points
just like line a degree 1 can pass through 2 points
parabola a degree 2 can pass through any three points
a degree four can pass through any 5 points
(no offense but idk wtf u said)
if given 2 points can you draw a line(first degree)?
thru them? ye
line is a first degree polynomial
see, given 2 points we can draw a degree one polynomial
similarly given 5 points we can draw a degree four polynomial
alr
and even if it is square then we can the quartic and cubic coeffiecients to be zero
that's the way to do it manually
I'll never do it by hand
so we assume general form
yeah
we put x= 1,2,3,4,5,etc and y=0,6.72, and so on
so for e.g.
a(1)^2 + b(1) +c =y =0
i.e. a +b +c =0
so we got one equation in three variables
yeah
and after hving 3 equations
we do the same with a this time?
then wut bout b and c/
9
omg, how did they give you this question then??
this seems like a 11th grader question
(im solving an ARG)
Alternative Reality Game?
yes
which one?

bro i get it we make 3 equations, cuz 3 terms in the standard form of a quadratic equation
after we make the 3 wut do we do
suppose you get equations like
a+b+c =0
3a+2b+4c -3=0
2a-4b+3c-2=0
then you can solve this and get a,b and c
so we equate y in the 3 equations into 1 value?
yeah
could u show example using this stupid series itself?
(cuz u alr solved it basically)
I'll have 3 seizures before I solve this by hand
if i get the logic to do it by hand
fully
i can do it using computational power
and hand
let's get something easier then
so i can cook next time
alr
n=1, the value is 0
n=2, the value is 1
n=3, the value is 2
mhmm
now what we'll do is put x=1,2,3 and y = 0,1,2
assuming y = ax^2 + bx +c
0 = a + b + c (by putting x =1 and y=0)
1 = 4a + 2b + c (by x=2 and y =1)
2 = 9a + 3b + c (by x=3 and y=2)
now there are many ways of solving these three eqn^s
we can use substitution for this one
and solving it gives me the integer or constant
from Ist equation c = -a -b
yeah then you'll get the values of a, b and c
then you can the equations
let's solve this now
after getting the constant
what do i do?
(also i can assume the values as anything right?)
for y and x?
y = ax^2 + bx +c
you have to assume the values you know of
alr, so in my case i know y is (The term of series) and x is N?
yeah
(hey bro no offesne but wtf u mean it will take hrs)
it seems like the typical questions i do in my spare time
It will
how.
this was simplified case
for this case for example
It already has took me 3 hours since you began this question
yeah

so win win?
(oh funfact: the ARG game was mine i just wanted to solve my own problem without fkin my sanity up)
cuz i didnt know how exactly to solve it efficently
you fked my sanity tho
and chatgpt is dumb

Thats how it starts
everything is mine btw
nothing ripped off

im a poet i know
(i used chatgpt to make it a bit more spicy thats it)
This chatgpt?
nah i gave it a quote made paragraph
and asked it to spice it up
and it spawned dis shit

centre a div?
no we both 9th graders
this kinda good
@astral pilot hey but u hv a goodstart in the riddle
cuz u solved
one of the hardest parts
(u aproxxed answers but i gave the real one so lol0
u hv less work to do
how did you get that answer?
tell me
based
((n^2 + 3)/n) * ((n^3 -n)/(n + 3)^2) * 4n
no shit, i didn't consider the possibility of it being a rational function
in this case using standardform will work right
cuz of the angle thru line shit
yeah

Help
This is not an exam Btw
the top of the page: description of question will help you solve part a)
there is a relationship between size of angle and length of arc
how to know which angle
so clearly the size of angle on a point is 360 degree, then what if i draw some line that intersect on that point, then i divided the angle into several part and they add up to 360 degree
then intuitively, larger the arc, larger the angle
then what can you think of that might be true?
Is it 108
wut is (b)
do you know what an angle bisector is?
Nope
let say i have angle BAC=100 degree, then the angle bisector divides BAC into two equal part, each 50 degree
let say!
so it bisects the angle
as its literal meaning
so it is asking you if straight line BD is angle bisector of angle ABC, which is essentially asking you if straight line BO is angle bisector of angle ABC
to prove this, you need to find angle CBO and ABO respectively and prove that they are equal/not equal
idk what is (b)(i)
honestly idk how to give hint to bi) as i cannot think of a way that skip bii) to do bi)

need help with this one
this is one ugly limit
i haven't studied that yet
hey
we can use this property
a^x-1/x where x tends to 0 is lna
now lets convert the numerator to this form
add and subtract 1 in the numerator
youll get ( (a^tanx - 1) - (a^sinx-1) ) / (tanx - sinx)
now
we need a^x-1/x right
so multiply and divide tanx for a^tanx - 1 term
similarily for a^sinx-1
and then youre good to go
can solve this in another way
it's equal to (a^(tanx - sinx) - 1) * a^sinx)/(tanx-sinx)-> lna(x->0)
oh yeah this better

sin^2(x)cos^2(x)
((1-cos(2x))/2)((1+cos(2x))/2)
(1-cos(2x)(1+cos(2x))/4
(1 - 2cos(2x) - cos^2(2x))/4
So now I want to convert 2x into u
But before that can I take the 1/4 out and just integrate that to x/4?
Or does it get integrated to u/4 ?
Or u/8?
"(1-cos(2x)(1+cos(2x))/4"
"(1 - 2cos(2x) - cos^2(2x))/4"
Theres a mistake?
Where did -2cos(2x) come from?
You can reduce it down to (sin(x)cos(x))² = sin²(2x)/4 = sin²(u)/4 then use the identity with cosine for sin²(u)
(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - 2ab - b?
What? No.
Hi adonis ❤️
(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2
Oh youre right
Ahhh I see
But ok, lets pretend I did have this
My im still wondering about my original question
What is the next step?
Hi Chartbit ❤️
You could do the same trick, rewrite the cosine square term
this identity
Okay yeah true...
Im still just wondering tho haha
Like if I WAS to do it the other way
Does it become x/4 or u/4 or u/8?
I guess x/4 and u/8 are the same in this case...
If you do this substitution you get x = u/2 and for dx = du/2
If you also pull the 1/4 factor before the integral you get a total factor of 1/8 before the integral, if that's what you are asking
Wait I dont fully understand sry
Like i still need to integrate the 1/8?
Or before the integral as in to the left of it (as in its already integrated?)
No it'd be a factor
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
Okkkkkkkk
I see now
Thank you so much haha
Sorry that took a while for me to get 😅
Thanks again!!
❤️

Can anybody help me with 3rd
if you draw out a diagram for q3
using a coordinate system, the parabola passes through (0, 6)
it also passes through (-50, 30) and (50, 30)
That's where i stuck
Ah thanks
so naturally vertex form
once you have the equation in vertex form sub in x = 18 and the length of the vertical wire will be the y
or x = -18, it doesn't matter by symmetry
The answer I solved is 9.11m approx
And It's the right answer I guess
Thanks man for ur help

I believe MI+factorization might help
Why is this even asked as a proof 
imma be honest
idk what that means 🔥
Im an a level student for context
this showed up in one of the interview prep qs
well, MI=mathematical induction
is it doable with the knowledge I would have at an A level/12th grade
oh well
nvm that makes sense
Ye ik what induction is
it is fun function btw, riemann zeta function
isnt the zeta function to infinity?
yes so it is a partial sum
anyways it doesnt matter in this proof lol
but it is the harmonic series and diverges
so that plan fell apart
proof is not easy
ight ill move on then
not easy to come up with this yourself
fair
but then you can certainly try understanding the solutions
yep ill have a look at this
thanks

how do i continue 2a
use the fact that largest angle is twice the smallest one
what is the largest angle in this case?
so T5 = 2(108 - 2d)
yeah
yes
@lilac sluice Has your question been resolved?

.reopen
✅
yes
still on 2a?
i still need help yes
how'd u come up with this?
bc largest angle is twice the smallest angle
ah sorry, didnt read what u had on ur paper already
allgs
also use the fact that t5 is a+4d
oh true
is that dr du?
yep
interesting, isnt sequence and series advanced?
fair
i thought summations was an ext 1 topic tho
nah it should be advanced
oh alr
what else do i have to learn
cus this week is the final chapter on sequences and series
uh idk what they do at dr du
btw d = 18 right
yeah thats correct
ok
i just wanna know what else there is to learn
in terms of the syllabus
like for sequence and series?
mhm
have u touched on geometric progressions?
yes
that was first chapter
i’ve gone over GP AP general sequences
so last last week was sequences
last week was series
limiting sums?
hmm, weird order
is it?
yeah idk what much else there is to it, maybe you'll touch on financial mathematics
financial definitely has to be the worst topic
would u know how to do the next question
i agree
i’ve solved b i
i got n/2 (99-3n)
but idk how to do ii
so i’ve done this
but i’m lost
is n > 33 in this case?
did i just write the notation wrong
so in this case n>33 or n>0
n<0
oh true
so 3n/2 (n-33) > 0 still holds?
still holds for what?
like is it true
yes
and n>33 but n<0?
yes
yep
yeah i can help
ight
not exactly
its the fact that each successive growth is 70% of the previous week
oh yeah ur right actually, the units are different lol
so its originally 42 cm
lol alg
ok so S8 = 163.34….
so what equation do u have at the moment?
let me do it real quick
ight
yeah so
back to my original point
it shouldnt start with 42 or any other number we discussed
okay
because 42 isnt in geometric progression
so first term is 70% of 42 or 52?
neither
it grows 10 cm
but each week its only 70% of what is was last week
so the 2nd week should grow by 7 cm
yes
the amount is growing by is getting smaller
but the plant is still growing larger
yes that’s what i meant to say
so that the 10 is in geometric progression
