so you want to prove $\Re(z\overline{w})\leq |z||w|$
Ann
which is exactly what i wanted you to distill it to
Ohhh, yea so now I just have to find a way to show it?
yes and it is not that hard actually
the key idea is that the real part of any complex number is less than or equal to its modulus
m= 34

Has x int of (0,0) ? How do I solve this
identify the roots and then
start with a factored form equation
@raw sage Have you gotten started?
idk what to do with the (0,0)
also
the turning point
is 2 numbers
what do i do with that
im trying to put it into factorised form but it aint making sense
What's your factored form?
No hold on
but anything times 0 is 0 no?
Your roots are bad as well
x-1
So the factored form is a(x-0)(x+2)(x-1)=ax(x+2)(x-1)
Would be where?
on the left side
yea
The factored form doesn't tell you the turning point
Why are you suddenly talking about the turning point
@raw sage
Oh I see
(-1,4) is not the turning point
Ok so
We agree that the factored form is this?
ax(x+2)(x-1)
If you want to sanity check this
whats ax isnt it meant to be just a
Ok hold on
Let's do a little
Experiment
Let's use your form
a(x+2)(x-1)
So if we sub in the roots we should get 0 yes?
let's try
Sub in x=-2
a(0)(-3)=0
Sub in x=1
a(3)(0)=0
Sub in x=0
a(2)(-1)=-2a
Uh oh
What happened
@raw sage
i dunno
What do you think the problem with your form is
idkkkk
Ok
Let's try the experiment with my form
ax(x+2)(x-1)
Sub in x=-2
a(-2)(0)(-3)=0
Sub in x=1
a(1)(3)(0)=0
Sub in x=0
a(0)(2)(-1)=0
Wowee
That's crazy
When multiply by x for a root at x=0
Because when x=0, then the whole expression is 0
the whole answer is 0?
so
but on the prac sheet the answer is y = −2x^3 − 2x^2 + 4x
and i have no clue how they came to that
Ok we'll get to that
We aren't done yet
This was half the question
Remember the point (-1,4)
We are going to use that to find the value of a
After we find the value of a
x int
Alright wait
like the x int, y int and tp?
no values of m n and p
(-1,4) is not the turning point
what are the x intercepts
yeah
so substitute it in the equation
the factorised form
a(x-0)(x+2)(x-1)
now we just need the a
is that -1,4
That's what I wrote basically
Alright jes can we do a little exercise
Just so I can see something
solve (x-2)(x-3)=0
Just a point on the cubic
r these just like x int
0,3
um i got x^3+2x^3-2x
No don't expand
Do what you did here
Alright I see the issue now
Your teacher just is kinda ass
Do you know what the zero product rule is
yea
What does the rule say
If ab=0 then a=0 or b=0 right
But extends for like abcdef=0
a=0,b=0...or f=0
So again looking at x(x+2)(x-1)=0
Just means that x=0,x+2=0 or x-1=0
So our x intercepts are x=0,x=-2 and x=1
So that's why our factored form has a x in it
@raw sage
So we know y=ax(x+2)(x-1) passes through the point (-1,-4)
Using this info, we know that for x=-1,y=4
Using this we can find a
Subbing x=-1,y=-4 we get
-4=a(-1)(1)(-2)
-4=2a
We can then use this equation to solve for a
With a we can then expand the whole expression
And we get our answer
Yipee

How do i solve these questions? I have been trying the 1st one for 3 days now. I have tried to substitute values somehow and create a quadratic but i doesn't work
please help
lets try doing this step by step to see what works
ok, thanks
for the first one, go turn (x - 2) into e^(log(x - 2))
what do you get as a result
Wait i actually forgot to mention a detail
wait does your book use log as base 10 or base e
10^log(x - 2) instead then
yeah we should get 10 ^ the exponents of x-2 X log of x-2 to the base 10
what would it be
? I don't understand the question
you need to tell me the actual math expression you got as a result instead of vaguely alluding to it
yeah sorry
one second
10^[(log squared (x-2) + 3*log(x-2) (as the power would of x-2 would come out) - 12) X log (x-2)]
thats an extremely unusual way of typing it
what country did you learn this under?
just for curiosity's sake
well they and the rest of the world commonly use a different way of typing math through text
you are attempting to type this
now the syntax through text is to avoid using words as much as possible
yeah i actually type way more differently even then my classmates
so i doubt its a india thing
and also to move ^2 to the outside instead of between log and (x - 2)
I think this is carried over from writing numbers that way, so log(x - 2)^2 instead of log^2 (x - 2)
ok
also log((x - 2)^3) instead of log(x - 2)^3
makes sense
so instead of log^a(x) and log(x)^a, its log(x)^a and log(x^a)
yeah
this I think carries over from expecting the parentheses to work like math, you can think of it like in programming
bit of a new standard but you can get used to it
as a disclaimer its not really bad, but often weird is turned to bad on the outset
true
well go try out the new standard on the exponent by typing it out
Ill tell you if anything's off
to be fair, there might be a few variations of this standard since its mostly informal, but I think Im telling you the most common one
this is at least the one I use
oh right a few more changes but youre on the right track
usually people avoid using brackets and braces in favor of... nesting parentheses
hmm
also, avoid putting spaces between the log and the (x - 2)
spaces often denote multiplication, so you can put a space between things to denote that
the space can be left out like in 3x^2, but it depends on if it looks better with or without like in x^2y^2 vs x^2 y^2
hmm
so in all, its more expected to see
10^((log(x-2)^2 + 3 log(x-2) - 12) log(x-2))
thats good
regardless both sides now look like
10^((log(x-2)^2 + 3 log(x-2) - 12) log(x-2)) = 10^2 log(x-2)
next is to replace log(x-2) with y since every x is inside a log(x-2)
wait
i think rhs is actually 10^2 X log(x-2)
yep, thats the standard way to write 10^2 * log(x - 2)
the ^ operator is not "greedy"
oh sorry
nice analogy
a "greedy" operator when written will take up the rest of the text as much as possible
that is at least a term for regular expressions like in comparing * and *?
most operators are not "greedy" to avoid cluttering with parentheses
hmm
potential exceptions are d/dx ... and int ... dx
when you d/dx, its usually assumed it applies to the whole line
if you want to denote a specific thing to d/dx, parentheses are inserted as d/dx (only what you want differentiated)
similar with integrals, you can see int 1 + 2 dx as not requiring the parentheses even if they should be there
hmm
this "non-greedy" rule also means you can remove parentheses in other places
log x + y will usually mean log(x) + y
unfortunately since its written, it can vary depending on how spaces are used
log xy will usually mean log(xy)
log x y will usually mean log(x) y
by this point we might as well go off of context or ask to be sure, but it cant hurt to be a better guesser at all this
true
so in any case we have
10^((log(x-2)^2 + 3 log(x-2) - 12) log(x-2)) = 10^2 log(x-2)
and then we replace every log(x-2) with y
10^((y^2 + 3y - 12) y) = 10^2 y
from here, I could expand the y, so
10^(y^3 + 3y^2 - 12y) = 10^2 y
then move the 2 to the other side, which looks like
10^(y^3 + 3y^2 - 12y - 2) = y
that's legit beautiful
why didn't i think of dividing with the 2
i had gotten till here before
but i forgot to divide the 10
fricking genius
I hadnt seen it until now either, you have to look out for aesthetic choices that may matter
more than that, maybe a masters or a PhD
wow, that's my dream
can i please chat to you for a few minutes after this help session if you have the time
I cant really answer for anything related to the masters/PhD stuff, Im new to knowing how to get there
i am in high school
i am not worried about that
i just want to talk to someone who is much farther along than me in the process you know. Very few mathematicians in india
so i don't have any guidance
not that i am asking you to become my guardian angel
I think theres more than just a few mathematicians in india but I see where youre coming from
just a few minutes of your time
I think you might be better off asking someone who actually is in india and would know where to go next
nah just general questions about math studies
nvm
lets just continue with the problem solving stuff
its alr, we can focus more on the problem first hand
and also that Im stuck
(lol)
lol
now its around here we start looking for excuses
are you only required to approximate the solution, or do you need an exact form?
i will just send the answer here
well I just tried x = 102 and it doesnt seem to work
shit
is the question wrong?
x = 3 doesnt work either, on the left you'd get 1
on the right you'd get 0 since log(1) = 0
It has happened before
Ill be honest, the solutions Im seeing out of the graphing calculator dont look rational
around here would be when you'd do a trick of some sort that would help this along
yeah i think the question is just wrong
thats a shame
its a older textbook
and it had 1 or 2 wrong questions before
lets focus on the 2nd
one
i am pretty sure its either x, y or both
nah i think its both
the answer is
alr in that case I can identify a typo
the y should be an x
for constant a, b, you solve for x
otherwise its unsolvable right
no, otherwise its too vague
?
you end up with what is essentially A - B + 6 = 0, where A and B can be any positive number you want
you can see this allows for an infinite number of solutions
hmm
so instead of a few points of solutions, you have a line
even though we should have only 2?
well youll notice putting the answers in for x, then assuming that x = y, solves the problem
it also makes sense as a trick
so assume the y is a typo for x then we can focus on the trick as the book seems to intend
yeah
now with only x, we can try on some steps to solve
(a^(log_b(x)))^2 - 5 x^(log_b(a)) + 6 = 0
now do you have any ideas about this
yeah you can use switch a and x in the 1st expression
that is true, I personally opened them up then manually swapped them to be sure
yeah
also those are usually called "terms", so 1st term of the 3
yeah sorry
so now we have
(x^(log_b(a)))^2 - 5 x^(log_b(a)) + 6 = 0
not really much else beyond here
yean just quadratic
i dont understand this notation.
is $\log^2(f(x)) \equiv \log(f(x))^2$?
so using the quadratic formula, what do you get as solutions
Percy
is $\log(x-2)^5 \equiv \log((x-2)^5)$
Percy
i don't really know will have to calculate
@calm pecan it ultimately doesnt matter because as shown here, the answer key thinks x = 3 is a solution which cant check out in any capacity
i see
thats along with x = 102 and x = 2 + 10^-7
second seems doable.
yea the second is almost done as of now
if youo wanna
well you likely just have but just to be sure, you can say what you got
wait a minute
use the laws of logarithms
a power IN the log means multiply outside
so log((x-2)^5) is 5log(x-2)
I am getting a weird answer
his books has weird notation
x = log_b(a) root of 2 or 3
this is where you have to be a bit more careful
you can use that log_b(a) = ln(a)/ln(b)
wait i fricking got it
very nice
Just wait
I have a cool answer here
Lets take 2 for now
log_b(a) root of 2 = 2^1/log_b(a)
but 1/log_b(a) = log_a(b)
so we can just sub that in
and get the answer of the textbook
for 3 as well
thats the one
alr
Thx for help everybody

graph of the colored text is 2nd image, I don't understand what is highlighted text saying, Someone explain to me the text that I highlighted
anyone here
what dont you understand
This blue color text
what part
specifically when it says. we see that the value of g(x) moves towards 0. So lim x-> 0 g(x) = 0. This is intuitively clear from the graph of y = |x| for x =/ 0. (See fig 2.12, chapter 2)
here is that graph
so im guessing you dont understand limits?
i don't understand language of the text
maybe consider googling it first-?
i have spent over 30 minutes thinking about it from mind
yeah google it
well leave it
some other helper will help

I had this question the other day and was wondering why the answer is 89
Find the equation of the tangent to the circle
Y=(cosx-sinx)/sinx
thats a circle? 👀
Idk but it's supposed to be... haha
Hmm
Well idk but part of the answer was
Y=-x+c
And the c turned out to be 89 I think
So it should be y=-x+89
Idk why or how I am very confused as you are
In the end he wants the equation of the tangent
!xy

How would u do this? I got up to breaking it up into individual vectors, but I am still confused.
Would be handy if u could draw and describe it 🙏
honestly i havent learnt vectors but a first step is prolly to find CD, and find the time it takes for AB, BC, CD
Yea thats what I was thinking, But how would BC work?
what have you tried
Like breaking it into AB, BC, CD
don't know if im doing it right
then I tried finding the speed for the AB vector
logically BC is 20 degrees up, so
find tbe hyp

I've been stuck on my topology homework for a day. I need to prove the following:
Let X be a topological space such that the following two conditions are met:
i) Every point in X has a basis of closed neighborhoods.
ii) Every continuous image of X into a Hausdorff space Y is closed.
Prove X must be compact.
I've been trying to do it following different approaches:
I tried researching different topology textbooks to see if I could find a space akin to this but I was not able to.
I tried to do it straight away by definitions and logical implications, and I got to learn some stuff about how the space X is structured, but I did not get it to prove that any of the separation axioms applied to X so I gave up.
I tried proving it by contradiction, assuming X not to be compact and trying to reach a contradiction with the premises. I first tried proving that maybe X had a compactification Y such that Y is Hausdorff and X is not closed so I could do a contradiction there, but since X is not locally compact I was not able to find such a compactification, because other compactifications do not have a neat structure.
I don't even know how to approach this and would appreciate any help.

Now I'm trying to follow Engelking's Topology to find out if I could apply a different version of Kuratowski's theorem to this
bruh

it's alright
so you need to prove that X is something compact
yes

how do you separate x and y terms
oh i got it nvm
this is not a separable DE
find y' and see what fits the equation
you dont actually need to do anything fancy here
just check each function against the DE
thats it
but my teacher said that if you do process of elimination you wont get credit
it's not process of elimination it's trial and error
It's a first order linear DE. All such DEs can be solved with an integrating factor method
i dont think ive learnedd linear de
find y' for each equation, and if you add the original equation to y' and get 2sinx there's your answer

should i think of this in terms of graph?
yes, and the limiting case is when x = 0 is a root
following on from your graph idea, which values of a make the graph concave up (and down)?
coeff of x square needs to be positive or zero
When the function is concave upward, you might get negative y value in respect to x. Reversely, you must get at least one
well just positive, because coeff of x^2 = 0 would imply a linear function
but yes
they're fucking with you
oh so i just do it like any normal equation ignoring that?
yes
so basically what values of a gives me a negative output
yeah so basically you can just find when f(x) has two positive or zero roots
and then every other value of a besides that
you just need the vertex to dip below the axis assuming it opens up and the vertex to be anywhere assuming it opens downwards
also check the discriminant cause that needs to be >= 0
so it's a combination of the 3 things I have listed before
this is only for a + 1 > 0 btw
f(x) = 0, (a + 1) = 0, and discriminant = 0 are your critical values of a
no there's also the case when the function has no real roots
and it's concave down
where does it say real roots 
oh wait
and it's concave down, that is also not mentioned
yeah I misinterpreted okay
can someone summarize please
sorry about that just check the sign of the y-coordinate of the vertex then
3 cases: coefficient of x^2 is either positive or negative, or 0
- If negative, do nothing
- If positive, ensure discriminant is greater than 0
- If 0, also do nothing
but f(x) = 0 is a big hint cause there's only one value of a where that happens
im not sure i understand why i do nothing
okay let's tackle it one step at a time
you know that the coefficient of x^2 would determine the concavity of f right?
yes
how the mouth of the parabola opens up
if the coefficient of x^2 is 0, then you have a straight line, agreed?
yep
so you can find at least one x such that f is negative
which means a + 1 = 0 ==> a = -1 is a part of our solution set
now if the coefficient of x^2 is negative, we are sure to find an x such that f is negative?
because the mouth of the parabola opens downwards
do you agree?
so all a + 1 < 0 ==> a < -1 is a part of our solution set
i didnt understand this one
if a=-1, x sqaure disappears
-3ax becomes 3x
yes
and 4a becomes -4
oh the line is passing thru -4
so i do nothing
cuz the function is always giving me a negative
we do nothing because we know these functions have negative values
not always
but we know it's possible for it to give it to us
right i was imagining a horizontal which is not always the case. my bad
but yeah got it
yeah
does this make sense too?
yeah
so again, by the very construction of the function, we are sure to find some x such that f is negative
so far our solution set is a =< -1
so now for the case where the coefficient of x^2 is positive
we're not always sure that the parabola dips below the axis
specifically it only happens when f has real and distinct roots
so what's the condition for that?
the constant should be negative
that's a possible subset
but in general you'd want the discriminant to be positive right?
yeah ofc
yeah so your third condition is ${ a > -1 } \cap { D > 0 }$
so it has to be greater than 0, the discriminant
dyxn
yes precisely
take the union of all three cases and that's your answer
why would it be intersection
we partitioned a to be disjoint anyways the intersection is 0
three cases:
- > 0
- = 0
- < 0
so to find the total set, we'd take the union

are the only limitations to get the integral is requireing for $\int^{a}_{b}$ that $a, b \neq 0$?

Remember to put dx
and can i do something in can a,b = 0 and $a\neq b$

my TA's notes
It’s undefined if you integrate over a singularity
singularity=?
you can’t integrate this function from -1 to 1
why not?
it would just be 0 no?
introducing Cauchy's principal value 🔥
This video explains why not https://youtu.be/dHwrzLDmdT8?
The debate of the improper integral of 1/x from -1 to 1. Is this zero or divergent?
My follow up video: "NO MORE DEBATE" https://youtu.be/b7WUupyMXJk
Let me know what you think!
blackpenredpen
but a reason is that it’s not defined at 0, so you can’t apply the definition of riemann integration, and even if you extend the function’s domain to include 0, the resulting function can’t be riemann integrable
intuitively, you can do a limit from both sides, but then you could approach from the left “faster” than you approach from the right, and then make the integral diverge to positive or negative infinity
so intuitively, you shouldn’t let the value of that integral be defined anyway
Hello?
i see, but if we define f(0) then it's solved right?
even if you extend the function’s domain to include 0, the resulting function can’t be riemann integrable
why not? we havent seen actual proofs except the proof for $\int^a_b c=c(a-b)$
Escanor
and for dirchlet function
is it just because 1/x doesnt have a lim at x=0?
so as long as 0 isnt in [a,b] then the integral formula holds?
I’ll confess I don’t know exactly how this is proved using only the definition of riemann integration, but a proof sketch that says it could never work is:
Suppose for contradiction it were riemann integrable.
Then it would be Lebesgue integrable. But then that would require χ_([-1,0)U(0,1])*|1/x| to be Lebesgue integrable, which it isn’t
I m here to ask whether this is true or not i.e n>√n for all n ∈ W??
Please use another help channel, like #help-31
Ohk
Yes, in this case
ty, that's also a theorem they stated earlier
It is a theorem that if the absolute value of a continuous function is integrable, then it is integrable. In this case, the absolute value of 1/x is not integrable, so it is not guaranteed to have an integral on an interval containing 0
oh, what did it say
i dont see why, absolute value of f = sup f?
no, it’s abs o f
according to Derbo, if f:[a,b]->R is not dffriable, then it doesnt have a predecesor function
in the domain of integration
I didn’t mention differentiability, just integrability
that's what they said, i dont have one for integrability
let me rephrase: let f:[a,b] -> R be a continuous function such that |f| is integrable. Then f is integrable
we havent seen this yet
Just mentioning this for intuition
idk why they jumped to showing the integrals for the basic stuff
i will keep this in mind

During the morning a merchant sells half of the eggs he had in his shop; in the afternoon he sells first another two dozen and then half of the remainder.
Knowing that one egg broke and that at the end of the day there were only twelve eggs in the shop, how many eggs were in the shop at the beginning of the day
what did u try
that's the amount the merchant sold
Total eggs - Sold = 12
this and u got the "half of the remainder" part wrong
yea
what
is this wrong or not
it is wrong
x/2 = sold in the morning
24 = sold in the afternoon
Remaining eggs = x-(x/2+24)
Half remaining eggs are then sold
so the remainder should be
1/2 * (total - 1/2x - 24)
x = total eggs
During the morning a merchant sells half of the eggs he had in his shop
x - x/2
in the afternoon he sells first another two dozen
x - x/2 - 2(12)
and then half of the remainder.
remainder is what is left after he sold half of the eggs and another two dozen so
remainder(r) = x - x/2 - 24
1/2 * remainder(r) = 1/2 * (x - x/2 - 24)
Knowing that one egg broke and that at the end of the day there were only twelve eggs in the shop
x - x/2 - 24 - r = 12
x - x/2 - 24 - (1/2 * (x - x/2 - 24)) = 12
hope it help!

how do you prove that “<“ is transitive (over the real numbers)?
everything i’ve googled says “well if a<b and b<c then clearly a<c” but how do you actually prove that?
How do you define reals?
ah good point
the proof is gonna be highly dependent on your definition of R and <
okay what if we just stuck to the integers then
idk how to define < for the integers
alright how about the natural numbers, lol. using peano axioms
yes
Alright
we could define
a < b
as
There exists n such that b = a + n
maybe there exists n > 0
≠*
btw no matter what set we restrict ourselves to we HAVE TO start with something for a definition.
oh i see lol
Yeah, we have to replace this with n ≠ 0 because < wasnt defined yet
thanks ann
circular definition
but otherwise i think it works
and the proof of transitivity should be fairly easy, you can give it a go
so b = a + n and c = b + m implies c = a + (n + m) and n + m =/= 0 because n and m are nonzero. that good?
Yeah, that's the outline
n + m =/= 0 because n and m are nonzero
This part would probably require a bit of elaboration, but you got the outline right
Males too mainstream 🪗
Females too mainstream 🔬
Femboys too mainstream ⛓️💥
Furries too mainstream 🚰
Maybe I should give futas a try 🤤🤤🤤
Maybe move to #chill or somewhere else
would a positive/negative type of approach be non-plausible because of this restriction, may i ask?
What do you mean?
The way I see < defined on the real numbers is
"Let there be a set of real numbers we call 'positive', called P".
Then a < b if b - a is a positive number.
Obviously this takes a bit more definition (what is '-'?), but you can get all the properties from it.
How do I get help.... I'm very desperate to the point i went to join a math server for help 😭
say if i want to consider b-a as "positive", therefore a is less than b
it really depends on what we start with, if our definition of reals is through e.g. dedekind cuts, < would be exactly the same as ⊂ (in the proper subset sense)
you can prove this easily
by definition
it comes down to transitivity of implication
i still dont really get this
Fair, I lean on my bae Tao, who does it with limits
idk either lmfao

I need help please
someone please help pelase
I only have 1 min please Im actually in a hurry
PHEW
OK SO
WHATS THE SURFACE AREA OF 11CM RADIUS CYLINDER AND HEIGHT IS 28 CM
right
what’s the formula for surface area of a cylinder………………………..
,w 22/7 * 11 * 28
idk
bro is 100% doing a test
or if u don’t know it perhaps deconstruct the cylinder yourself……..
Sorry, 2 * that
!nosols
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.
what are the faces of a cylinder…….
circle rectangle
but what do i DO
study probably
tru
I havent a choice
to find the surface area you find the area of the surface!!
but my teacher is literally coming towards me PLEASE GAH
in this case the surface is two circles and a rectangle!!!
is circumference 3.14159265358979... irrational number multiplied by diameter
yea sure
and is area of circle 3.14159.. IRRATIONAL number mulitplied by radius SQUARED
yes……..
YAYYY
Bro, google's gonna help u more than this server
COME ON I CAN DO THIS
like
If you're cheating
im not trust
pending postgrad is insane
how do you know pi to like the 20th digit but dont know the formula for a cylinders surface area
this is just homework dw
Ok
i just memorize
tbf I would also struggle with a cylinder’s surface area in my postgrad probably
mhm
most based statement
Imma now go to ALGEBRA
Hah, I know 3 more digits than u
How do u isolate - bro WHAT
3.14169265358979323...
bro......
5!!
thats only bc u must be OLDER cuz im only 11 HAH
it was going so well...
……………….
☹️ I'm 15
mods kill him
oh ok sry
honestly i knew that formula when i was 11
hwo do u isolate like 2p plus 5 = 25/x
25 divided by x please
do you even know what isolate means
social distancing
shawarma
this?
2p+5
bro wtf is p
i thought it was a type-stutter on the p
what are we isolating
that’s so true I never thought abt it that way
think bro got caught by his teacher
truly a tale of all time

Show that the nonzero ideals of K[X] are principal (i.e., generated by a unique nonzero monic polynomial)
I've no idea how to prove that
and K is a field, yes?
For the moment, I wrote :
I != {0} so there exists a polynomial P_0 of minimal degree
We can also assume that P0 is monic
show that it is precisely the generator you are looking for
Yes
because it divides everyone else
cause any nonzero ideal I in K[X] must contain polynomials we can choose a non zero one f with the smallest possible degree and then using polynomial division we find that any other polynomial h in I must be a multiple of f (otherwise the remainder would be in I and have an even smaller degree, a contradiction) meaning f generates I; we can then easily make f monic by dividing by its leading coefficient

indeed
you know that K[X] is a euclidean domain, yes?
idk if this enough proof
sure
I thought about that but I didn't wrote it :/ ( R issue )
deg(R) < deg(P0) so R = 0
thanks !

Particle A is travelling due north at 15 m/s. Particle B is travelling at 25 m/s.
At time t = 0 seconds, B is south east of A.
They are on a collision course.
(i) Show that the course of B is 19.9° west of north.
At t = 60, A and B are 278m apart.
(ii) Find the distance between A and B at t = 0.
I have attempted to use a diagram to try and find a way to solve this, cause originally I thought B was 45 degree from the north so it’s travelling at 45 or something stupid like that and now I’m just confused on how I can find the angle it’s looking for
Would this diagram be showing what it wants? Or am I interpreting something wrong?
you’re still working on part a?
Unfortunately, I feel rather bad for being stuck on that part
nah you’re all fine
i wonder if you could use law of cosines to solve
we know sides a b and c of our make shift triangle at t = 60
and we can use that to find the angle
or i think
oh i guess we don’t know the start position of b
hm
I attempted to use the cosine rule but then I got confused on what to do after
😖
I’m doing a topic rn called relative velocity if that’s any help
I only began doing questions and like this seems so easy but it feels like I’m interpreting something wrong
yeah i would figure..i dont even know how u would begin solving using maths
let me try 1 sec
I even shoved it into ChatGPT to see where I might be thinking wrong but it’s thinking even further than me, cause it got 30 degrees ish, honestly feels like I’m just blind and that it’s really simple and I’m over complicating it
"At t = 60, A and B are 278m apart." is this given information?
or do we have to prove this as well
It’s given information, but it’s after the first part of the question so I thought it was not relevant until part 2
That’s the photo there
smth about turning into vectors
gotta get off a train, but can try in a little
maybe not yet
wait nvm 10 min
Don’t stress about it! It’s my work I’m struggling at so don’t even worry, I’m so appreciative that yous are even helping to see the issue
X coordínate;
A: 0
B: X - 25tcos(theta)
Y coordinate
A: 15t
B: 25tsin(theta) - Y
if i’m not mistaken
wait no
now i think it’s right
I can try and take another to see if it turns
,rccw
Couldn't find an attached image in the last 10 messages.
uh
nah dw about it let me try using ur question
i’m assuming for any start point of the particles the angle needs to still be 19.9
so choose random values of B and plug and chug?
not positive if it will work but worth a shot
I need like a visual image of the cords you given, I’m not a very letter person 😭 let me try and plot them on paper
all good
just making the velocity into a vector
then making position equations with it
I hate vectors, they are the vein of my existences or whatever the saying is
😭
I remember doing them at the start of the year and just sobbed at all the exam questions. Well transformation matrices are worse
I swear they crawled out of hell at some point just to hunt me
womp womp
😖 AHHHHH
I’ll attempt question 4 for the time being until someone can point me the right way 🥲
yes that should be easy
this is on the right track but the other longer side should have length 25
@chilly tinsel Has your question been resolved?
If you are mentioning the triangle I drew, I put 25 there because I thought if I created a triangle of 15, and 25 I would have somewhere to go if I found the resultant.
The angle 15 and 25 should make 135+x which should be 19.9 according to the show that question
Would you have any clue where to go from there?
😨😨😨 THIS MIGHT WORK LET ME GIVE IT A TRY, THANK YOOOu
I’ll update you when I find out pfft
IT WORKED!!!! Wait how should I word why it can’t be negative
distances are always positive
np
btw, in the future if you want easier calculations, youcould use law of sines to get the angle at B
I’m in debt to you bro, thank you sm 🌷
Oh right! I was thinking too complicated pfft
Thank you sm tho
Thank you @pearl wadi @cold hedge For helping aswell 🤗
i did not help 😭
i was trying to solve it using physics method
You attempted, better than nothing hehe
since i had also learnt to solve such problems using relative velocity
Pfft 😭
np, point is u solved it gj
