mhm i get that part now
thanks
still doing get the min and max thing though
well i get it but i don't know why u thought of that
or alisia
not sure what to say really 
looking at it doesnt it kinda feel like it should be bounded immediately
222(x+y+z) = X
you want all combinations of (x+y+z) that give unique sums
immediately i'm thinking caseworks
not bounding yeah
lol
i wonder if there is a combinatorial argument
i think i'm seeing it now lol
i think that's all, thanks!!
that was hard

How do I solve this
I don’t know how to do with the division
I always end up with 0
you are on the right track in a sense, although the process you did seems wrong
let's try and get of both the /3 and /2
can you think of the LCM of both 2 and 3?
LCM standing for least common multiple
6?
yeah
exactly
try multiplying both sides with 6
[
x - \f x3 = \f{x+1}2 \Iff \c b{6\cd}\p{x-\f x3} =\p{\f{x+1}2}\c b{\cd 6}
]
Oh yeah it’s 6 too
yeah perfect but you don't actually have to distribute it
it'd best to leave it as 6(x+1)
how would you simplify $\ds \f{6x}3$ and $\ds \f{6(x+1)}2$
2x
And
mhm
3x+3
yeah on point
so now what do you have
5x+3?
I don't see an equality there. I'm asking for like your original expression simplified
just show me this like
[
6x - 2x = 3x+3
]
is what you have now yes?
after this
Ohhhhh yeah
that's what I was asking for you to show me
so I know if something went wrong
anyways uh simplify now. should be straightforward
mhm bingoo
Thank u I understand it much better so it’s just like founding the common thing
mmm wdym by founding the common thing?
Lcm
yeah
Forgot what it was called lol
exactly
Ty
although
Yes
I wanna warn u about something preemptively
[
\f{3x}x = 1
]
you can multiply both sides by x, right?
it fits what we were saying about the LCM stuff
Yes
so you get 3x = x
so you might think x = 0 because of that because you get 0=0
But isn’t x times x like to the power of
which superficially makes sense
but it actually is incorrect
If we multiply both sides with x
yeah
OHHH
BUT IT CANCELS OUT
[
\c b{x \cd} \f{3x}x = 1 \c b{\cd x}
]
yeahH exactly
so you get 3x = x
you might say x = 0 makes sense right?
Yeah
because you get 0 = 0
right?
Mhm
but it actually is incorrect and you should be very careful about that
Yeah
Then what’s the answer
nothing there is no answer actually
it's because if we let x = 0 in 3x/x we have 0/0
you can check with your calculator but 0/0 has NO solution
it just doesn't exist
so x=0 is something we cannot have
whenever you have an expression in the denominator, you NEVER want it to be equal to 0 because that cannot be evaluated
so x= 0 is never something we can consider
anyways sorry this is just a warning to the LCM stuff
you can close now if you want to
No thanks I understand now
that's great!
Thank you
alright have a good one
U too

Identify minimum/maximum/infimum/supremum
All i wanna know what this says to ger started^^.
Is it x is any number between root of 42 and 69?
x is between $\sqrt{42}$ and $\sqrt{69}$ and a rational number
tobi
root42 and root69 excluded
funny numbers
Since its > and not >=
even with = the maximum and minimum wouldnt exist
Yeah but you’d probably want to write out more formally why that is.

Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
Yeah Im about to, my first step is probably doing epsilon delta method.
Id assume that
Inf = 42root
Sup = 69root
Epsilondelta for sup
69sqroot - e > x > 42sqroot
hint ||Q is dense in R||
I looked through all my material and cant find anything helping with the hint^^
About my problem earlier that u helped with, i ended up finding out that they dont require us to prove the derivation for lhospital^^

take n boxes and k objects, in how many ways can you put the k things into the n boxes?
You can obviously change this into 1's and 0's
and then you just have n-1 ones and k zeros
and Now the anwser is $\binom{n+k-1}{k}$
bigpufik
But I dont understand why we can calcuate subsets that include the n-1 ones, since when calcualting subets size k not all will have only zeros
i dont understand your question
wouldnt there be $\binom{n}{k}$ ways?
LF
What
No you take n boxes, and you have k things, and you have to put all k things into all boxes, adn the question is in how many ways you can do taht
K indistinguishable things, otherwise it would be n^k
This is correct
Yeah, but I dont get why
Like okay
I take n-1 ones let say
and k zeros
and we want to find all possible strings
of these ones and zeros
noting the are distingushiable
since otherwise it would be as you said
and I dont understand how can we jsut choose subsets of size k
Wdym
We take the 1s as dividers
Like
010110
Corresponds to 4 boxes and 3 balls
With 1 ball in the first box, 1 in the second, 0 in the third, and 1 in the fourth
yes
So each string goes to a unique way
ok yeah
That’s why we just have to count the number of strings
This is called a bijection
it made more sense for me if we just chose n+k-1 per n-1
Do whatever makes sense for you
Yeah oaky thanks i hate combinatroics
Same lol
Same I’ve been looking at pumac, cmimc, and hmmt combo cause it’s my weakest subject and I’m dying
Yeah
They make individual problem sets for each subject
So it’s easy to just do combo problems
oh thats sounds nice tbh, good luck with those
Thanks

I'm trying to show that two solutions of the Legendre equation for $\abs x < 1$ are:
\env{align*}{
\m{y_1}x &= \sum_{n = 0}^\infty (-1)^n \f{\prod_{k = 0}^{n - 1} (\alpha - 2k)(\alpha + (2k + 1))}{(2n)!}x^{2n} \
\m{y_2}x &= \sum_{n = 0}^\infty (-1)^n \f{\prod_{k = 0}^{n - 1} (\alpha + 2k)(\alpha - (2k+1))}{(2n+1)!}x^{2n+1}
}
all i managed to realise is that the Legendre equation has an ordinary point at x=0
but im unable to set up the series solutions

Did I solve this right ?
@leaden light Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
what ur even trying to do if u can explain
yes it's
the thing is
it doesnt have an elementary antiderivative 💀
,w y'= 5/sqrt(x+ln(x))^3
this equation is cursed isn't it
no, I would never made such uncanny equation for myself
you sure you want to solve the differential equation? coz it looks like you took derivative of rhs
is it $\frac{5}{\sqrt{x+ln(x)}^{3}}$?
Fractalogist
I found it, and yeah we are talking about derivatives. Sorry I just didn't now how to say it English
So you've to find the derivative of that?
Yes
Lorentz
Line 2 should've been this ig
so 5 is a part of derivation of complex function ? like in this formula
5? You mean the 5 in the numerator here?
yeah
Yeah that's a constant
Which is multiplied
So yes it is a part
$\frac{d}{dx} af{(x)} = a\frac{d}{dx} f{(x}), a \in R$
Lorentz
i meant, the u (i just don't know how to say it another way) according the formula is a degree of x +ln(x) ?
u(v) is (x+lnx)^(-1/5)
u is the function that raises it to power of (-1/5), if that's what you meant
u isn't a degree in itself, because u is a function
ok, but why we should raise (x + ln(x)) to -6/5. I thought it just stays without a change
Oh
If $x+lnx = t,$
$$\frac{d}{dx} t^{-1/5}= \frac{d}{dt} t^{-1/5} \cdot \frac{dt}{dx}$$
$$\frac{d}{dt} t^{-1/5} = \frac{-1}{5} t^{-6/5}= \frac{-1}{5}{(x+lnx)}^{-6/5}$$
oh, okay now I get it
Lorentz
Missed the -1/5 at the end
For dt/dx just substitute t=x+lnx back

why does it throw math error when i try to calculate $\int_0^3\ln{(x)}dx$ on my calculator when clearly it is defined and solvable?
FungusDesu
Try to caluculate it manually
Solve it by integrating ln(x).1
That is integration by parts. The calculator is showing zero is because its putting zero, your lower limit, directly in ln(x) which is undefined.
Basically 0 is not in the domain of this function
Yeah your calculator isn't well equipped to compute "improper" integrals
Or you can say it's infinity.

how is this equal to 5?
what does this mean
limit
its supposed to be an L, and they wrote it as "Lt" lol
is this a "what is going on" or an "i think it should be something else" situation
"what is going on", the answer is correct i think
you're taking the limit of $\frac{5(x+4)}{(x+1)}$
Ann
which can be written in many forms, among others $\frac{5(1 + \frac{4}{x})}{1 + \frac{1}{x}}$
Ann
oh ok i get it
those 1/x terms become 0
and i get 5
ok understood

how to find the common tangent to two curves in general?
Justt wondering
take x^2+y^2=4
and a parabola say (x-5)=y^2
How would I find a common tangent to both of these
Start by finding their intersection point and verify whether the slopes of the tangents are equal there
The curves that you picked do not intersect by the way
yeah, my problem is the slope at any point on a circle is given by $-x_1/y_1$
Why am. I here
and on this parabola $1/2y_2$
Why am. I here
so then what, ?( This was inspired by KV's question in #help-7|zen1thxyz , )I'm pretty sure we need points to find a common equation, but that problem has none
At a point of intersection those would be equal given a common tangent exists
But, again, there is no intersection point in this case
so no common tangent exists ?
Not necessarily
Alternatively
You can find the general form of the tangent for both the curves
And then compare the coefficients
Of each term
Cause they should be the same line
Say there exists a line tangent to x^2 + y^2 = 4 at x1 and tangent to y^2 = x - 5 at x2
Then 1/(2sqrt(x2 - 5)) = -x1/(-sqrt(4 - x1^2)) = x1/sqrt(4 - x1^2)
Or the same thing but with opposite signs in front of the roots
But the equation stays the same
how did you get this?

I'm getting 2 answers although there are 4
what I did was
I substituted 1/cos^2x for sec^2x
and 2sin^2x/cos^2x for tan^2x
ended up with
$\frac{1-2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$
mj
unfortunante
then from here, it's = to 0
but I also recognize that it is cos2(x)
noqmilitary
oh, for some reason I read your message as
"I can't help"
sorry for that lol
I used zero property
to remove the denom
so in reality it's $sinx=\sqrt\frac{1}{2}$
mj
yep lol
<@&268886789983436800> idk if intentional spam but can you clear this up?
that's weird
This however, is $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$
mj
for sin, we must realize that pi-ans puts us in Q2 where it also seems to be positive
giving us just 2 answers
now my question is
is there 4 answers because
cos2(x) has 3 different expanded solutions
and those 3 different expanded solutions would give 2 different answers?
what does cos2(x) have to do with it
well right here
$1-2sin^2(x) = cos2(x)$
mj
please don't ever write cos2(x) for cos(2x) lol
$2cos^2x-1 = cos(2x)$
mj
sorry about that lol
I'm guessing using this will give us another 2 set of answers
will it?
it shouldn't, if they are equal
pi/4 (again), and 7pi/4 (new answer?)
well it makes sense for it to
because you'd have to subtract/add it into different quadrants
than sine for example
,w 1 - 2 * sin(7*pi/4)^2
Okay, WE
it's assumed to be 0 to 2pi
we have 3 solns thus far
pi/4, 5pi/4, 7pi/4
not sure where to get the 3pi/4 from though
you forgot the ± here
and also each branch will have two solutions
mj
$x_{1/2}=\pm\frac{\pi}{4}$
mj
we have to reject -ve though
since -pi/4 or any -ve number is
outside the range
of the domain
but you have to consider +2pi k
For sin(x)
$$\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}$$
For cos(x)
$$\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}$$
mj
yeah, which gives us 7pi/4
ok this is weird
I had 5pi/4, and didn't have 3pi/4
but now i have 3pi/4 and not 5pi/4
but it'd be impossible, both sinx and cosx can only have 2 solutions
mhm
lets try that for cos
sin and cos should both give you all 4 solutions
it's already in the +ve quadrant as a negative
adding 2pi to get it back in that very same quadrant as a non-negative is 7pi/4
now for sine
it's in 4th quadrant
we need it in 1st and 2nd
as a positive
the RA is pi/4
so pi/4 in Q1, pi-pi/4 in Q2
3/4 in Q2
the +/- isn't the thing here
we've gotten all the +/- answers
for 5pi/4, I'm trying to think of a scenario
where you'd add the reference angle, pi/4 to pi so you can get it in Q3
(only in tan)
now how about subtract
pi
to get 5pi/4
ah I'm lost lol
$\sqrt{\f12} = \f{\sqrt1}{\sqrt2} = \f1{\sqrt2}$
hayley
it's one of the negative solutions for sine yes
there are two
which would be in Q3 or Q4
so 2pi-pi/4
or pi+pi/4
ahh i see
this should not have taken this long lol
just put it all in terms of sin/cos then solve the quadratic 😨😨
not to mention it is a difference of squares
2x^2-1
havent worked it out
(x+1)(x-1)
But then u shld get the + and - value of x
2(x+1)(x-1)
and theres 2 values between 0 and 2 pi
yep, got it now
thanks

what do you do with sin(x/2)
Use sine trig identities
which one
double angle but replace x with x/2?
But since x/2 = x * 1/2, that's the same thing
Oh that works too
Which pi
Which equal sign exactly

Could anyone explain me this solution, primarily the "T has 2^m elements", please.
well T consists of tuples of length m of which each entry can have 2 values
so 2*2*2*..*2=2^m elements
but that would be the number of combinations, for that to be true then all the combinations must be inside T
how can I be sure that all possible combinations are inside T?
cause T is defined that way
T is the set of all those tuples
the function f doesnt have to hit every element in T
but like, the tuple (0,0,0,...,0) where the element is inside none of A's is not there
well first, (0,0,..,0) is not a set
second, why should there be no element x which is in none of the A's

how do you determine the horizontal asymptote of a function
I'm aware that if the numerator and denominator have equal highest powers
you would divide the two
LC
Depends on the function
That looks good
yeah, I wanted to know in the instance they werent the same
maybe the numerator was more or less than the denominator
how would you find it then
answered your own question
like $\frac{Ax+B}{Cx^2+Dx+E}$?
if the fraction is top-heavy there is no HA at all
if it's bottom-heavy the HA is y=0
why the fuck are my messages not sending
SWR
I also know that there is no horizontal asymptote if the top is one more than the bottom and instead there is an oblique asymptote
mm
So where are you confused, exactly?
so let me get this straight
how would i make a eco system similar to chess but for a different game that has more variables affecting it like winrate, average wins in a row, etc
in p(x)/q(x)
if p(x) is one greater, no HA, but OA
if p(x) >1 difference, HA=0
if p(x)=q(x), LC/LC

Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
what if
p(x)<q(x)
Then HA at 0
I used to understand the logic behind them which helped me memorize it better
but is the reason it being 0 because it's approaching 0 the larger the denom is?
When looking at p(x)/q(x), look only at the largest coefficients
So this would become $\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}\approx\frac{Ax^n}{Bx^m}$
SWR
why is this
I know this is because as m gets infinitely larger, the function approaches 0
or atleast that's my reasoning for it
If $n<m$, then $\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}\approx\frac{Ax^n}{Bx^m}=\frac{A}{Bx^{m-n}}$. As $x$ goes toward $\pm\infty$, the fraction approaches $0$.
SWR
ah okay
m-n
m is larger and larger
until n doesn't matter anymore
or am I getting confused
Yeah you basically have it
Also, if $n>m+1$, then $Ax^{n-m}$ is always a polynomial asymptote
SWR
example:
I guess I just need a bit more practice with these lol
thanks for clarifying though
This example is more of a "neat thought" than something they may end up teaching you
ah
Oops, edit to this, the asymptote would be $\frac{A}{B}x^{n-m}$
SWR
lol alright
But yeah, neat stuff
Yeah you don't need to remember this fact, just sharing something cool

why is (CD,AB)=π/2 +kπ where k is an integer
shouldnt it be π/2 +2kπ or am i missing something
for the same direction you need 2pi (a full circle), for (co)linearity you need only pi (half circle)
thats what i said.
direction of the 2 vectors CD and AB ?
it is the same
bro what are you talking about
wdym by 2 vectors for CD
this doesnt make sense ig
does this question require any integration @eternal sorrel ? from the beginning?
i mean this sentence doesnt make any sense
no this is just a question concerning arguments of complex numbers
why?
bro integrate what
never ever.
if i have 4 points A,B,C and D in the complex plane with affixes a,b,c and d respectively
bro there is no integration here
based off another person that was helped and this conversation I find it hard to believe that Rick knows what they are doing and just trolling
or guessing
ig this fits
sorry, my "what" was the reply to another post.

Do the question before you try to help others with it
tysm
so my question is how do ik when to add kπ and when to add 2kπ where k is an integer
colinearity is when the are on one line, so pi is enough.
Quick question, what is the name of this math and the like "unit/chapter name"?
do i have to check if both vectors are collinear or no before finding the angles/arguments of the corresponding complex numbers ?
and even if they are collinear this isnt enough
i would have to check their sense too
you asked why its pi and not 2pi. my argument was: for the same direction you would need 2pi, but for colinearity you need only pi.
how do ik when they are collinear algebraically
how do ik when do i add kπ and when to add 2kπ
without having a geometrical reference such as a figure
vectors are a geometrical reference.
i mean without a figure
i mean you are posting a screenshot with the title "geometric representation":
in this screenshot its mod 2pi because its about the same direction, so its 2pi. arg z is the angle, and again here you need the same direction therefore 2pi.
but for colinearity ...
you need only pi.
ok
i was told before that if i have z=x+yi then arg(z)=arctan(y/x)+2kπ or arg(z)=arctan(y/x)+π+2kπ
depending on the sign of x
but why does it only depend on the sign of x
i mean doesnt the sign of y also play a role
well, assume |y|=2, |x|=1, and now try all combinations with + and - -> you will get 4 vectors. make a sketch, and think about arctan(y/x)., then you should see, why its +pi in one case.
ore more technically:
arctan gives you values in (-pi/2, pi/2) which means x > 0.
so you need a case for x < 0.
let arg(z)=arctan(y/x)+2kπ=α+2kπ where x>0 and y>0
then arctan(-y/x)+2kπ=-α+2kπ
so from here where does +kπ come from for x<0
as said before: arctan gives you values in (-pi/2,pi/2) which means x > 0. so you need an extra case for x < 0. as tan has a periodicity pi you need the +pi case.
because of the definition of arctan. arctan gives you values in (-pi/2,pi/2) which means x > 0.
x here is referring to the input of arctan am i wrong
so you are talking about arctan(x) here
but for arctan(y/x) you cant simply ignore y and look at the sign of x bc y changes the sign too
you started with an x+iy. why do you change the meaning of x now?
arg(z)=arctan(y/x)+ either kπ or 2kπ where k is an integer and my question was when do i add kπ and when 2kπ
yes how did i change the meaning of x
i am saying that i am looking at arctan(y/x)
so x<0 or >0 isnt the only thing that we should be looking at
we should look for the sign of y too
why is this claim wrong
so, i will try it a fourth (and last) time. arctan gives you values in (-pi/2,pi/2) which means x > 0.
so you need a case for x < 0.
ah wait
bc of x=rcosα and y=rsinα then for α in (-π/2,π/2) x>0 necessarily is this the reason ?
here x is always positive but y changes sign
so we need to cover the cases when x<0 to cover all possible values
to reach the region of the complex plane where x<0 we need to add an integer odd multiple of π to the angle between the positive x-axis and the vector/line joining the origin of the system and the point with coordinates (x,y)
thats why for x<0 we have arg(z)= arctan(y/x)+(2k+1)π instead of arctan(y/x)+2kπ
but if x<0 then we can have the case arg(z)= -arctan(y/x)+(2k+1)π no?
oh wait no bc sin(π-α)=sinα and cos(π-α)=cosα so tan(π-α) neq tanα
tysm and sorry i wasted your time bc of my stupidity i shouldve tried using trig form

I need to find those weights w,1,2,3 such that on the interval [0,1] all polynomials of degree 2 (or lower) are integrated exactly by the given formula
How do I even go about that? I don't even understand where/how to start with this
(it's numerical integration)
,w \int_0^1 (ax^2 + bx + c)
f(0) = c
f(1/3) = a/9 + b/3 + c
f(2/3) = 4a/9 + 2b/3 + c
then you have a system of linear eqns
oh so I write down the form of a 2nd deg. polynomial in general and then integrate its general form (with constants, in this case a,b,c)
and then just resolve the linear equations
y
thanks!
I assume I could also do this for larger degrees using basically the same idea?
yes. but you will need as many points as you have coefficients
notice that we have three weights for three coefficients (3 points needed to define a second degree poly)
does it matter which points so long as the system of equations is not underdetermined?
as long as the system is fully determined you are good

Is there any way to do this without finding p and q explicitly? More specifically, could somoeone give me a hint on how to find pq
p+q is pretty easy
I've tried expressing $p^4+q^4$ as $ (p^2+q^2)^2-2p^2q^2$, but I don't know how to find that either
Why am. I here
yes you are on the right track
you can try factorising it
that's one way I guess
and maybe form linear equations?
idk if there's a more efficient way tho
[
(p^2+q^2)^2-2p^2q^2 = 272 \Implies \p{(p+q)^2-2pq}^2-2p^2q^2
]
Vieta's formula is very useful here
you can expand the right parentheses
thanks
will try, thanks
do some algebra and you get [
2p^2q^2 -16pq +16 = 272
]
then what kepe is talking about applies
What about doing one more cycle of what he did above
$\big((p + q)^2 - 2pq\big)^2 - 2p^2q^2$
plugging in A), we have $p + q = 2$ and $pq = 8$ from Vieta's formulas
Just check if that gives us 272
Similarly for all 4
where did you get the 8 from? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with vieta's formula, just know the relation for squares and cubes
For $x^2 + bx + c = 0$, Vieta's formulas state that \begin{enumerate} \item $p + q = -b$ \item $pq = c$\end{enumerate}
Where p and q are the roots
Wait, did I mess something up
Doesn't seem so, @plain badge?
For $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, Vieta's formulas state that \begin{enumerate} \item $p + q = -{b/a}$ \item $pq = {c/a}$\end{enumerate}
See how a is 1 there
If you had ax^2, sure
I stated it for x^2 + ... though
but formula is -b/a and c/a
Spacephoenix
Yes, for $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$. If you have $x^2 + bx + c = 0$, $a$ is equal to $1$
btw uh
👍
there is no need to overcomplicate this that much i guess
Yeah. In this case, we always have x^2, there is never a coefficient
So we just have
(I agree that for ax^2 + bx + c = 0, Vieta's formulas state what you wrote, but I just mean the a = 1 case!)
Ig its better if we give the complete information to the person who has doubt as they will be able to deduce the later..
and it would help
Sure
ah, I see, that's it? Thanks!
Well, now just deduce pq of all of them using this
Closed by @frigid canopy
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
For the first one, pq = 8, for the second 16, ...
Check if the expression becomes 272

help
which one?
all of em but lets start with #1, the explanations are too short for me
are you aware of change of bases rule?
can you give an example
$\log_{a}b=\frac{\log_{c}b}{\log_{c}a}$
Im sorry Im new to some terms
B-eard
oh not rlly
sure
using this formula can you bring log base 10 on num and well as denom?
for #1
B-eard
now break 20 into a multiple of 10
Also, are you aware of this: $\log_{c}ab=\log_{c}a+\log_{c}b$?
B-eard
yes
$\log_{2}20=\frac{\log_{10}20}{\log_{10}2}=\frac{\log_{10}\left(10\cdot2\right)}{\log_{10}2}$
Do you see what to do from here?
B-eard
$\log_{2}20=\frac{\log_{10}20}{\log_{10}2}=\frac{\log_{10}\left(10\cdot2\right)}{\log_{10}2}=\frac{\log_{10}10+\log_{10}2}{\log_{10}2}$
B-eard
Well, from here on you should be able to get to the answer
yep
okay thanks
@warm gate Has your question been resolved?
log base changes?
who're you asking? you are the one who asked the question?
seems right to me I think
yeah its right
i didnt mean to put a question mark lol mb
kk
wait last
what exactly was done here
I dont get how it got to 4
<@&286206848099549185>
hello
,rccw
normal simplification of logarithmic expression @warm gate
like
log_3(2) + log_3(2) = log_3(2*2) = log_3(4)
morever,
-2log_3(2)
= - log_3(2^2)
= -log_3(4)
log_3(4) + 3 + 1 - log_3(4)
= 4
@warm gate
sure
express 27 and 18 on terms of multiplication of prime numbers or rather on terms of the power of the base
then simplify further
@warm gate
yw
that's correct
thanks a lott
there are like 100+ Math Professors in this server lol
and 10000+ university students
im probably only better at maths than 40% of the population
ohh
okay okayy I get it
maybe its just because im not so familiar with the rules of log
there's really not a lot of rules in log
do you guys have a list of those rules
lebesgue
uhh
they haven't teach you yet?
thats one of the rules
Ohhhh I see
are you preparing for a specific exam?

That’s the definition of log_2(x), it’s the number such that 2^(something) = x
Oops
