...why would it be 0?
because if i am using x=0 for the function
...well you are looking at the value and derivatives of the function at 0, why would that mean that x is 0
(also a formula that just tells you the value of the function at 0 would not be very useful given that one of the things you're putting in is its value at 0, and then the rest of the terms would all be powers of 0 and therefore evaluate to 0)
the basic idea with a taylor series is that even if you just have information at 0 you can use that to get a pretty good approximation of the function around 0
indeed that must be wrong
i think i got confused anyway, now that i look at it again it makes sense
but not necessarily 0
right?
even thought i understan that it shift the function near zero
oh right yes you can use it around any a
just in this case they're doing it with a=0

Im new here, Am i able to share a photo of my question ?
Yes, of course.
Can anyone explain this to me? Why does it equal 1?
Oh i forgot to mention the premise is that A and B and C are the angles of a triangle
this means $A+B+C=180, C=180-(A+B)$
$\implies \tan(C)=\tan(180-(A+B))=-\tan(A+B)$
using that and simplifying will give you 1
So i should convert Cs in both numerator and denominator into A+B, and then simplify it?
yes so you're only working with 2 letters

quick question, is f(x)=x^2 + 1 injective, surjective or neither?
mapped from R -> R*
i understand that it isnt surjective
as not all of the values on the image are hit
so im thinking it may be injective, but im not sure as f(-2)=f(2)
does that make it neither?
f(-2)=f(2) means the function is even not injective
so for it to be injective each value on the domain must map to exactly one value of the codomain?
To at most one*
i thought an injective function has to be mapped one-to-one
oh wait i see
Not all values in the codomain have to be represented in order for a function to be injective
and then surjective is each element in the domain must match to 1 or more elements in the codomain?
wait no i worded that wrong
No
i mean each element in the domain must match to 1 element in the codomain and multiple elements in the domain can be mapped to one element in the codomain?
is what i meant to say haha
Yes, "if each element of the codomain is mapped to by at least one element of the domain"
And it's injective if there exist no such distinct $x_1$ and $x_2$ that $f(x_1) = f(x_2)$

You can graphically check whether a function is injective by drawing a parallel line to the x -axis. If any intersect the graph twice (or more), it is not injective

hi, I'd appreciate if anyone could answer this #calculus message thanks
wait why is this autoly pined
that's what happens to every first message in help channels
the intended use is that you post your question and then helpers can check pins to refer to it
I'm guessing for these types of line integrals $\int f ds$, reverting the starting and ending point wouldnt change the result, am I correct? if so I cant seem the articulate the reason
Mwalls
ds means the tiny curves along the curve, and is treated as "neutral", only the symbol of f on that tiny curve counts towards the final result, which is the net sum of all those tiny curves
well I totally forgot electromagnetics now but work done seems simply enough
but I still couldnt find my mistake in that derivation
work done isn't line integral mb
well, the intution, like, you'd spend the same amount of work pushing something along some curve whether from A to B or B to A
thermodynamics will murder you for saying this lol
work done isn't just mechanics
what I mean is no other force is working on that object
like pushing something on a flat table
yeah it's unchanged in this situation
this at least gives me simple intuition but my question is a methematical one so...
yeah proof by intuition doesn't work here
yeah my example actually arent of this type
clearly the starting and ending points would change the sign of the integral
which is a basic property
but it's a line integral
oh well..
no, it's the one that already converted into a normal integral
the $\int_{\theta_1}^{\theta_2} r(\theta) d\theta$ one
bot dead?
Mwalls
not sure how but inserting space before the second $ seems to fail today
$it fails every time $
well if it's a normal integral, sign will change on exchanging the limits
anyway if I revert the curve, then theta 2 would switch place with 1 and the result would be the negative of the original result
unless there's another thing compensating or my method casting the original problem into this is incorrect
could you try finding the mistakes I'll type them again here
$x=R\cos\theta , y=R\sin\theta$ , then $\int_{L}yds=\int_{\frac{3\pi}{4}}^{0}R\sin\theta\sqrt{(dx)^2+(dy)^2}= \int_{\frac{3\pi}{4}}^{0}R\sin\theta\sqrt{(dx/d\theta)^2+(dy/d\theta)^2}d\theta=\int_{\frac{3\pi}{4}}^{0}R\sin\theta\sqrt{(-R\sin\theta)^2+(R\cos\theta)^2}d\theta=\int_{\frac{3\pi}{4}}^{0}R\sin\theta*Rd \theta=\text{something minus but it's supposed to be postive}$
yes, I don't see anything g wrong hwre
I'm not sure about this
I have not reached here in calculus yet
Mwalls
thanks, it's a little annoying to have encountered this mistake consider I've been learning calculus for quite a while. it means I've probably got some very basic things wrong
it also means you have got more things to learn

is this geometric series convergence calculation correct?
a geometric series usually starts at 0
My series is this currently which has to start from n=1. It should sum to 1 which wolfram says it does but I am not sure how. Been a while.
sorry had to go for a moment, so the formula basically becomes (a/(1-r))-a?
or rather: (2/(1-(1/3)))-2=1
or you can also do it that way, yes

its testing your knowledge on solving a system of equations using back-substitution.
each "hotspot" is a system, and it gives the substitution. you gotta decide whether the substitution is correct.

I know the answer is B but can anyone explain the process
,w graph x(sqrt(4-x^2))
See what that is in the first quadrant?
U wanna integrate from 0 to 2
And you’ll get ur answer
Is that what ur question was?
i know that that is what i have to do, question is how do i integrate that? ive tried trig sub, but i suck at it
i just need a walk through
U sub is only necessary
$\int_0^2 x\sqrt {4-x^2} ,dx \newline u = 4-x^2 \newline ,du = -2x ,dx \newline \therefore -\frac 12 ,du = x dx \newline -\frac 12 \int_{u(0)}^{u(2)} \sqrt u , du$
-1/2du = xdx
Would you know how to go from there @crimson hamlet
forgot the -1/2 constant outside the resulting integral
Oml thx lol
no lol
Stephen
integration takes a ton of practice. u-sub is one of the easier ones. if you are struggling i suggest putting in a lot of time to understand it, so trig sub will be easier to get.
U don’t remember how to integrate sqrt(u)?
yt aint tell me yet. learning through youtube till i actually have to take the class
thanks a lot though. im sure i can figure it out from here
you're trying to run before you walk, man. gotta learn antiderivatives first.
i did
if you knew them then you would know how to integrate sqrt(u)
fair
Ah ok I see, good job taking initiative
But yea this is it, try taking some more time doing some simpler integration before you move onto subs

hi
and what did they do after i am pretty lost
i can attempt to help
sure
ok
ok
so apply reverse synthetic division
and if you do that, you can find the same polynomial
OHHH
cause this is the solution sheet
ax+b is the polynomial
wait what
no
im lost dude
im only in precalc
im not like these math genies
Whenever we divide a polynomial by a quadratic i.e. (x-r1)(x-r2) the remainder is of the form ax+b :)
ax+b is your remainder
Q(x) is the quotient
ok
why is it in that form
isnt it just a constant
- y or something
ohhhhh
you can do out the math but after doing Polynomial Long Division you will get something of the form ax+b
ok i understand
if you divide by some (x-r1) you'll a constant remainder
thank you
bro this isnt ur question lmao
i know
also I saw you @lavish osprey 👀
ok
from there
what did the teacher do
the constant can be represented by ax+b
we divided by x-1 and x+3, correct?
into ax+b ohh
we know we get f(1) which is 2
cause its the remainder
and the quotient will cancel out to 0 :)
we simply just get a system!
$
[
\begin{cases}
a+b=2\
-3a+b=6
\end{cases}
]
$
so from the 2 we can find a and b but how does tihs relate to getting the remainder when the same polynomial is divided by (x-1)(x+3)
FancyBredFries
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
(ax+b) is the remainder
finding a,b gives you the remainder :)
wauit whaaat
why is it specific to (x-1)(x+3)
what if its f(x)=q(x)(x+21)(x-4) + ax+b
like
wouldnt the remainder be different
oh wiat
im
dumb

cause it sets the things multipled by each other to 0

I have a doubt in the next statistics question, because i don't know which statistics test i have to use). The security department of a factory wants to know if the true average time it takes for the night guard to complete his round is 30 minutes. In a random sample of 32 rounds, the guard averaged 30.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Determine if this evidence is sufficient to reject the null hypothesis that the average time per round is 30 minutes or not. Use a 0.01 significance level.
<@&286206848099549185>
here you would assume normal distribution. since the standard deviation is known, you find the z value from a table.
also since there is more than 30 samples, i dont think a t test can be used
honestly my stats is rusty tho i might need to double check this
i think this is a t test with known standard deviation
since the standard deviation is known, i think you can just use the table value
then get your critical value from t using the table for that
actually no
get your critical value from the z table, get your test statistic from the formula
@vale grove last line, ignore the rest
its a z test
@vale grove Has your question been resolved?
since the sample size is large ( greater than 30, sometimes 20 depends on your syllabus) and the standard deviation is known (meaning an estimation is not needed), then you use a z test.
yea this is the formula

In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a product of functions in terms of the integral of the product of their derivative and antiderivative. It is frequently used to transform the antiderivative of a product of functions into an antiderivative...

Assuming you have Line 1, which equates to y = 2x - 3, and Line 2, which is y = -(1/2)x + (19/2), how would you find their intersection point?
Well, if they intersect, then at at least one point both x and y co-ordinates of the point on both lines are the same
So, you can assume both y and x are some constant
This would transform into a system of linear equations in two variables
Actually, I don't think a system is necessary here
well, both are the same

@noble forge If you don't mind actually, could you explain your approach to me more deeply?
I already got the answer, but I'm curious about your method
That's a system of 2 linear equations with 2 unknowns. You just already had y on a silver platter
if y = something and y = something else, then logically, something and something else are equal
Transverse property.
Is that all it is then?
In this case yes. But it's called solving by substitution
We had this:
$y = 2x - 3 \ y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{19}{2}$
USS-Enterprise
This is a system of two equations with 2 unknowns
so you just subbed it in
We can use substitution and sub one y into the other
$2x -3 = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{19}{2}$
Ralph
Yes, and you solve for x, then solve for y
$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{19}{2}$\$y=2x-3$\$2x-3=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{19}{2}$\$\$
Since we had coefficients of y same in both the equations, we just equated the RHSs. Had it been that the coefficient of x was same in both the equations, then we would isolate x and equate the other side of both the equations
In this case this is the transitive property yes
B-eard
But using substitution doesn't always necessarily mean that
If we have something like
$y = 2x \ x - y = 0$
USS-Enterprise
then you would solve for one of the variables and plug it into the other
You can again use substitution and switch y for 2x. This is in no way the transitive property though
and you get $x - 2x = 0$
USS-Enterprise

Hello
Why is 1/lnx undefined at x=0? Since the limit of lnx as x approaches 0+ is negative infinity, doesn’t that mean that 1/lnx is zero at x=0
A limit is not the same thing as the value of a function
ln(x) is not defined at 0, so 1/ln(x) is not defined at zero, regardless of what the limits are

quadratics generally have 2 roots, but it may be repeated
They are repeated iff the discriminant is 0
oh what was the rule again?
and do i always have to say it
when doing sums like that
like ... has 0 real roots
or 1 real root
whats that again?
the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac
you can just find the roots
idt it's required to show how many roots it has
unless the question asks you to

Don't understand how they further factorised from step 2 to step 3 instead of what I have on the right.
ab - 2b = 0
b (a - 2) = 0
(a - 2) b = 0
Let
a = y - x
b = y + x
now try
and uh, idk how you got what you wrote on the right
oh wait, I thought for some reason that (y-x)-2 was as a multiplication 💀
I had (y-x) * a-2a
to (y-x) * a(1-2)

Inverse functions exist only for bijective functions
A function has to be one one and onto
To have an inverse
If you have multiple values that when put in the function gives you the same value (i.e. f(1) = f(2) = f(3)), then you can't take the inverse. If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what would h(f(1)) give? 1, 2, or 3? It can't map it back to a single value.
If it's not one one, one value of y will have 2 values of x
No problem, a quick example is the inverse of x^2. what would be the inverse of f(2)? both 2 and -2 give the same answer, 4. So f(2) = f(-2).

can someone pls help with this? i think a is right
but im not sure about b and c
Do you know how the absolute/modulus function works?
i dont think im fully familiar with it
when x > 2
so its -(2-x) for b and +(2-x) for c?
That's not the entire function is it?
Oh
Never mind
It's 2-x for a
And -(2-x) for b
For c it's -(2-x)+5x

hi there. Can you show your work so far?
i do the math and get the points (-4,-2)(1/2,1)
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
then i do 1--2 on the top which is 3
then 1/2--4 on the bottom which is 4.5 right?
my work is all over the place kinda i can send it if it would help
which formula are you using?
just slope formula
why 1-(-2) on the top then?
y2-y1
that'll be f(b) - f(a)
or in this case a(b) - a(a)
$A(x) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}$
saad
the professor never taught us that way though the way they taught us is to plug in the -2,1 into the function to get our x1,y1 x2,y2 then use slope formula
but i have a 1/2 as one of my points
as one of your y-values, correct
so how would i get a whole number
why do you need a whole number
the answer is 3/2
if i have a 1/2 as one of my points how does it end up the answer being that
i was never taught this formula
so she cant be expectig us to use it

Use double angle formula and factor the top maybe?
i used the double angle forumula but how do u factor that 💀
2cos^ - cos - 1 can be factored
bruh im still lost it doesn't look factorable
,w factor 2x^2-x-1
Notice that the coefficients sum to 0 so cos=1 must be a root
OHH wait
is it like a normal quadratic
like x to the 2nd power + 2x + 3 or something

Stuck on it and don't know where to proceed, this is on the topic of Interior & Exterior Angles.
the sum of the interior angles of a triangle always adds to 180deg :)
However, the only given triangle I have is X, Y, and Z.
well
The others are 4-sided polygons.
Untrue
isolate the triangle with angles y, 80, and 55 see if that helps :)
a moderately sized part of Geometry is being to able to see these sort of figures deconstruct so you can get what you need
and this elementary example is actually good practice
Do I draw additional triangles to break it down?
if it helps, or you can just outline it
not quite
you're overthinking this lol
It's a new topic
Since we only get 1 day to do this then we jump to the next
So I cant quite wrap my head around this
isolate this triangle
Ignore the triangle in the middle for a moment and just look at the two big triangles
notice the angles in the red triangle :)
all interior angles in a triangle sum to 180
so this calculation is trivial! 
Then the other corner will equal 45 degrees?
y=45deg 
Ohhhh I see I was overthinking it afterall
Then I do the same with X?
sometimes it's easier than you think 

Man I feel stupid now 💀
then finding z is easy, just that middle triangle :)
no feeling stupid, only getting smarter here!
wow that sounds dystopian asf
Good motivator
but you get the idea supposed to be positive lol

So now having the measurements of angle x and y, to find z I simply just have to find the Triangle Sum Theorem?
Which is probably a yes
Alrighty got it now, thanks! Also agreed with AP Psychology.

how do I find the smallest value of square root of P?
x > 4
Did you mean x > 4? There's no smallest value of sqrt(P) if x > 16
First you could introduce a new variable, say $t = \sqrt{x} - 2$, so that
[ \frac{2x}{\sqrt{x} - 2} = \frac{2(t + 2)^2}t = (t^2 + 2^2 + 2t) \cdot \frac2t ]
Do you see an application of $a^2 + b^2 \geqslant 2ab$ here?

I have not studied introducing a new variable yet, however, my teacher said to use cauchy which i don't know how

So 2x/{[sqrt (x)]-2} +4={2sqrt(x)sqrt(x)-4[sqrt (x)]-8}/{[sqrt (x)]-2} ={2sqrt(x)[sqrt(x)-2]+8}/{[sqrt (x)]-2}
=2[sqrt(x)] + 8/[sqrt(x)-2]
=> 2x/{[sqrt (x)]-2} =2[sqrt(x)] -4 + 8/[sqrt(x)-2]=2([sqrt(x)]-2) + 8/[sqrt(x)-2]
2([sqrt(x)]-2) + 8/[sqrt(x)-2] > or = sqrt{2([sqrt(x)]-2) *8/[sqrt(x)-2]}=sqrt(16)=4
So the answer is 4
is that cauchy?
