how would you solve for x, if x^x^x = e

#

i have searched online, and used multiple resources in attempt to find an answer

steady tide
#

this $x^{x^x}$ or this $(x^x)^x$

@uncut fern Has your question been resolved?

split gyro
#

Yo

#

Here for the help

#

listen if it's x^(x^2)=e

#

Then take ln

#

We have x^2.ln(x)=1

#

Now see

#

ln(x)=1/x^2

#

We have to find their intersection poinys

#

Points*

#

Plot the curve

#

PS: it's x^x and not x^2

split gyro
#

,w ln(x)=1/x^2

split gyro
#

This uses the Lambert W function

#

As for the case of tetration of x

#

We have

#

ln(x)=x^-x

#

,w ln(x)=x^(-x)

split gyro
#

Which has a point of intersection b/w 1 and 2

#

,w solve ln(x)=x^(-x)

split gyro
#

So for the first case x^x^x we have x approximately equal to 1.60108 and for 2nd case x^(x^2) we use Lambert function and get solutions

Can someone help me with this? I got a as my answer and I want to know if I got it right

odd edgeBOT
#

@alpine jetty Has your question been resolved?

alpine jetty
#

No

split gyro
#

Yes sure

#

We gotta integrate

#

as acc is not constant

#

And is a function of time

#

See and we know

#

acc =dv/dt

#

So we get

#

Wait waig

#

#

Yes 👍

#

so

Let $a \geq 0, f : D = [0,a] \to \mathbb{R}, : x \mapsto f(x)$ a continuous twice differentiable function.
$\$
If $f'(0) = 0$ and $f''(x) \geq 0 : \forall x \in D$ can we conclude intuitively that $f$ is increasing?

pastel orbit
#

I suspect not hmmcat

#

let me see if I can justify this

elfin zodiac
#

I suspect no too

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

My thoughts are it has a minimum and is linksgekrümmt

dawn tiger
#

am i tripping, that intuitively feels true (assuming you consider increasing to be whenever the derivative is nonnegative)

ivory dock
#

Well we know it's not increasing at 0 right, so it's got like an extreme there, question is what does the second derivative tell us about what happens right of that extreme

wanton bison
#

curving to the keft

pastel orbit
wanton bison
#

Why

pastel orbit
#

could be an inflection point

dawn tiger
#

x^3

ivory dock
#

isn't the domain from 0 to a though?

pastel orbit
#

why does that change anything

ivory dock
#

like, there's nothing going on left of 0, or am I tripping?

wanton bison
#

Ok I see where I went wrong

dawn tiger
#

how is the derivative even defined at 0?

wanton bison
#

I was too hasty

wanton bison
pastel orbit
#

I mean... I did nothing

#

but you're welcome

wanton bison
#

But wait

elfin zodiac
#

Non decreasing

ivory dock
#

can you even call something an inflection point if there's nothing to the left of it though?

wanton bison
#

Nah you have to do it formally

#

,,\int_0^x f''(t) : \dd t = f'(x) - f'(0) \geq 0

dawn tiger
dawn tiger
clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

Since x is defined positive or 0 and f" is positive or 0 that means the first derivative is greater or equal to 0

#

@pastel orbit wyt

pastel orbit
#

I don't know, is my best answer, but I feel like it might be true hmmcat

wanton bison
#

like the integral tells us about the area so which is height * width

#

f" ≥ 0 and x ≥ 0

pastel orbit
#

consider 1/x

#

f''(x) is also positive, but f'(x) is not

#

however, the function you have in question is continuous, and defined at 0

#

so 1/x is not a valid counterexample under those restrictions

#

in this case, I do not know

wanton bison
#

1/x is continuous in its defined domain tho

pastel orbit
#

you can't extend it's domain to 0 continuously, though

wanton bison
#

Then e^-x

#

haha

pastel orbit
#

yes, that's a good example

#

but f'(0) is still not 0

#

which is a restriction we must have

#

oh.

#

hold on.

#

e^-x + x would satisfy all the conditions necessary

#

but it is indeed increasing

#

on [0, a], that is

#

hmm

#

@wanton bison I'm starting to think the answer to your question is "yes", but I feel insecure because analysis always has counterexamples

wanton bison
#

Maybe the fact that's it's tangent

#

horizontally

#

at x = 0

#

whether saddle or minimum or maximum whatever

#

and then turns to the left

#

indeed i think f'(0) = 0 is very important

pastel orbit
#

I agree

#

god, this is taking me back to my RA days where I would lose sleep over potential counterexamples blobsweat

#

always that paranoia

wanton bison
#

I was just checking a proof

wanton bison
pastel orbit
#

f''(t) is always positive, so the integral is positive

#

and then FTC it, f'(0) = 0, so f'(x) >= 0

#

I think I am convinced

wanton bison
#

the f'(0) = 0 is kinda missing

pastel orbit
#

wait, why is it wack?

#

now I'm confused again opencry

wanton bison
#

because of these counter examples

pastel orbit
#

which ones?

wanton bison
#

We know $\int_0^x f''(t) : \dd t = f'(x) - f'(0) = f'(x)$

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

pastel orbit
#

right.

wanton bison
#

but now what

#

we only know f'(0) = 0

pastel orbit
#

,, \int_{0}^{x} f''(t)dt \geq 0

#

though

clever fjordBOT
#

higher!

wanton bison
#

yea but why

#

that's my question

pastel orbit
#

because f''(t) >= 0 by assumption

wanton bison
#

f'' >= 0 and x >= 0 is not enough for exampple

#

e^(-x)

#

So where is the other condition included

pastel orbit
#

no, it is enough, no?

wanton bison
#

Geometrically it makes sense

pastel orbit
#

positive area

wanton bison
#

but I would like to know how to show it algebraically

pastel orbit
#

on e^-x

wanton bison
#

but it's decreasing

#

which means f'(x) <= 0

pastel orbit
#

but f'(0) neq 0

#

so this isn't valid anyways

#

e^-x + x is the one that's valid

elfin zodiac
#

What are u discussing guys, tldr?

wanton bison
wanton bison
pastel orbit
#

hold on. I'm confused, isn't f'(0) = 0 an assumption?

wanton bison
#

yes it is

wanton bison
pastel orbit
pastel orbit
wanton bison
#

yea haha

pastel orbit
#

I asserted it without proof cause I don't remember the proof opencry

#

I think it's not that bad though?

elfin zodiac
pastel orbit
#

I'd have to check my book

#

let me see

wanton bison
pastel orbit
#

all I see are epsilons and deltas though blobsweat

wanton bison
#

but you got me thinking for a moment haha

pastel orbit
#

I will now run away from this conversation, since it is eps-delta kongouderp

#

(kidding, but I don't expect to be able to be of much use from here pandaohno)

@wanton bison Has your question been resolved?

#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
lyric marlin
#

becaus the integrand is non-negative, the integral is also non-negative

wanton bison
#

Geometrically it makes sense, whether we have a max/min or a saddle point at x = 0 the tangent is horizontal and due to the 2nd derivative it's curving to the left which would kinda imply increasing

sand horizon
#

f'(x) is defined on [0,a] ?

#

Oh no mb

wanton bison
lyric marlin
#

what do you mean?

wanton bison
#

Or an easier e^(-x)

#

the 2nd derivative is e^-x

#

the integrand would be positive

#

or hmm bad example

lyric marlin
#

counter example to what statement

#

the integrals in question are non-negative?

#

f'(x) is not the integral in these cases though

#

we use f'(0) = 0 to say the integral which (by fundamental theorem) has value f'(x) - f'(0) equals f'(x)

wanton bison
#

You are saying it's sufficient that if the integrand is non-negative then so is the integral

lyric marlin
#

yes

#

(as long as it exists, which it does because we have a continuous function on a closed interval [0,a])

wanton bison
#

Intuitively it makes sense what you say because an integral is nothing more than adding a bunch of areas (width x height) and since the integrand and the domain are positive or 0 then so must be the area

lyric marlin
#

what's your definition of integral

wanton bison
#

If I recall correctly it was something like a limit

lyric marlin
#

whatever you're taking the limit of is always non-negative for a non-negative integrand

wanton bison
#

with some sum that adds the product of function value and input

lyric marlin
#

and limits preserve weak inequalities (i.e. 'or equal to')

wanton bison
#

because higher came up with 1/x as a counter example

wanton bison
#

yea then i was wondering how we deduced that f'(x) >= 0

lyric marlin
#

well it isn't for f(x) =1/x

#

because f'(0) isn't 0

#

so while yes $\int_0^xf''(t) = f'(x)-f'(0)$ is non-negative, we can't say anything about $f'(x)$

clever fjordBOT
#

Edward II

lyric marlin
#

in your question we then have $f'(x)-f'(0)=f'(x)$ (because $f'(0) = 0$)

clever fjordBOT
#

Edward II

wanton bison
#

Yea

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

lyric marlin
#

because the integral is non-negative

wanton bison
#

yea

lyric marlin
#

because the integrand is non-negative

#

which is given in the question as an assumption

wanton bison
#

this is what i doubted the whole time

#

but it must be non-negative

#

given the domain and f'' is non negative

#

we are summing up positive pieces of little areas

#

at least that's how i think about it

#

the product of two positive numbers yields a positive numbers so does the addition

#

thanks

Can someone help me understand derivatives better? We can use f(x) = 2x^2 as an example. Derivative formula is f'(x) = f(x+h) - f(x) / h right?

icy kindle
#

the limit of that, yes

analog light
#

huh

#

We need to find the derivative of f(x) = 2x^2

icy kindle
#

this is often taught so that you compute the derivative in steps.
Compute f(x+h)
then f(x+h) - f(x)
then f(x+h) - f(x) / h
Then take the limit as h -> 0

analog light
#

yeah h is approaching 0.

#

If you simplify it down you get f'(x) = (2x + h)^2 - 2x^2 / h right? I'm not familiar with derivatives, the first one I did was today. I had to find the derivative of f(x) = x^2

icy kindle
#

that's correct, again you need the limit

analog light
#

right sorry

icy kindle
#

well, it should be 2(x+h)^2

analog light
#

Oh ok thanks for clarifying that!

#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 2(x + h)^2 - 2x^2 / h

#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 (2x + 2h)^2 - 2x^2 / h

icy kindle
#

Order of operations, exponents first

analog light
#

Oh yeah

#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 2x^2 + hx^2 - 2x^2 / h

#

oh wait

#

Don't I need binomial theorem?

icy kindle
#

yes

analog light
#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 2x^2 + 4hx + 2h^2 - 2x^2 / h

#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 4hx + 2h^2 / h

#

f'(x) = lim h -> 0 4x + 2h^2

#

take the limit

#

f'(x) = 4x + 2

#

is that right?

icy kindle
#

the h should reduce out of every term

#

$\frac{4hx + 2h^2}{h} = \frac{h(4x + 2h)}{h} = 4x + 2h$

clever fjordBOT
#

Zybikron

analog light
#

It is only h^1, in Algebra 1 I learned it will only take 1 of the h, so if you were to take all the h you would have to have h^3

#

Oh

#

You simplify before dividing because PEMDAS, Multiplication goes before division... @icy kindle

icy kindle
#

multiplication and division have the same level of importance in the order of operations

#

P E (MD) (AS)

analog light
#

Let me ask Microsoft CoPilot what the answer is.

icy kindle
#

So, if we do it your way, you know 4/2 = 2.
By your reasoning:
$\frac42 = \frac{2+2}{2} = 1+2 = 3$

clever fjordBOT
#

Zybikron

analog light
#

That is not at all what I said. also.

#

wait

icy kindle
#

by my reasoning: $\frac42 = \frac{2+2}{2} = \frac{2(1+1)}{2} = 2$

clever fjordBOT

Question*

analog light
#

Can someone help me understand derivatives better? We can use f(x) = 2x^2 as an example. Find the derivative of f(x)' = 2x^2

split gyro
#

Oh

#

See if f(x)=2x^2

#

See we have a formula in derivatives

#

That is

icy kindle
#

🙄 you do you bud. I'm trying to walk you through your errors and you've pulled up two calculators that disagree with you and now a new person. Have fun.

split gyro
#

d/dx of (x)^n=nx^(n-1)

analog light
#

?

split gyro
#

see

analog light
#

I meant f(x) = 2x^2

split gyro
#

We have a simple formula to derivate x^n

#

That is d/dx of x^n is n(x)^n-1

icy kindle
split gyro
#

We gonna apply it here

icy kindle
#

no power rule here

split gyro
#

Oof

#

Then should explain

#

First principle

analog light
#

I think we have too many people in this. 77^2 had been typing for like 3 mins

split gyro
#

See definition of derivative says @analog light
That f'(x)=lim h tends to zero f(x+h)-f(x)/h

analog light
#

yep

split gyro
#

Ook

analog light
#

Thats right

icy kindle
#

🖖 i'm out

split gyro
#

Now your f(x) is 2x^2

analog light
#

See ya

split gyro
#

so what will be f(x+h)?

#

Tell me

#

U

#

@icy kindle is the 🐐

#

bro

#

f(x)=2x^2

#

If I put x=a

#

f(a)=2a^2

#

U simply need to do that

#

Instead of x we put x+h in the function

#

Now tell me what is f(x+h)

analog light
#

My Process:
f(x)' = lim h -> 0 f(x+h)-f(x)/h
f(x)' = lim h -> 0 2(x+h)^2 - 2x^2 /h
f(x)' = lim h -> 0 2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 - 2x^2 /h (Bionomial Theorem)
f(x)' = lim h -> 0 4xh + 2h^2 /h
f(x)' = lim h -> 0 4x + 2h^2
f(x)' = 4x + 2
Is there any error?

analog light

huh how?

h

distant pagoda

?

split gyro
#

Yes

#

so

#

h^2/h = h

analog light
#

You only have h^1 and there is a h^1 and an h^2

#

You can only do one of them

distant pagoda
#

whats h^1

#

its just h

#

whats h^2

#

its h * h

analog light
distant pagoda
#

so?

#

h*h/h is the same thing as h^2/h^1

#

h^1 is just h

analog light
#

What is the answer 4xh + 2h^2 / h, 4xh + 2h????

distant pagoda
#

are u writing?

I don't understand

#

why can h get rid of 2 h?

distant pagoda
#

ur confused why (2h^2)/h = 2h?

analog light
#

This is not what I learned in Algebra 1

analog light
thick harness
#

whats h(4x + 2h)

analog light
#

4xh + 2h

thick harness
#

why didnt u distribute the h to the 2h

distant pagoda
#

incorrect

analog light
#

4xh + 2h^2

thick harness
#

right

#

so then you can divide by h

#

and take it back to 4x + 2h

#

since you divide it all by h

analog light
#

OOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO

thick harness
analog light
#

That makes more sense

thick harness
#

fr

analog light
#

so the answer is 4x + 2!

distant pagoda
#

no

analog light

What

split gyro

Bro

#

See this

analog light
#

You get rid of h

#

u get rid of limit

split gyro
#

,w (4xh+2h^2)/h

thick harness
#

h becomes 0

distant pagoda
thick harness
#

you dont get rid of it

distant pagoda
#

u substituve h for 0

I mean it is calculus right?

distant pagoda
analog light
thick harness
#

calculus has a reputation of seeming to be very difficult but most of it is algebra if you think about it

#

shouldnt be terrible if you have a good handle on algebra

analog light
#

Yeah, and to think I understand derivatives even though I have only passed Algebra 1

thick harness
#

fr

analog light
#

To signify a derivative is it f'(x) or f(x)'?

thick harness
#

first one

analog light

ok

It's clearly not differentiable where it's undefined. And everywhere else, the partial derivatives can be calculated, so it must be differentiable there

signal kraken

I am given this exercise where I have to use logarithm laws/properties, then look for their log by using the log tables etc, but as I have already seen, the numbers have to be positive, so X = AB/-C log X = log AB/-C would be undefined right? I mean not possible? since A,B,C have to be greater than 0. So the only waay to solve this would be by just carrying out the arithmetic operations?

fervent hawk
#

in such case, i would personally pull out the negative sign before applying log
like to calculate
-log((286.5)(4.714)/(67.84))

signal kraken
fervent hawk
#

yep

#

and plug back in after the operations with log tables

#

the outcome will be a negative number.

signal kraken
#

yeah, I was thinking about that but wasnt sure if it was right :c / so what would the equation be like? (-1) log X = (-1) log (A)(B) / (C) right?

latent meadow
#

If i have a list of points that makes a somewhat makes an imperfect circle and average them( like the average of the X Axis and Average of the Y Axis)
Will i get the center?

latent meadow
#

like simple average

#

but if i get a perfect circle

short scaffold
#

if the points are not more uniform, then the center could drift to the true centroid

latent meadow
#

like X amount of points will give me the midpoint

#

so like 8 points

#

or 1230 points

#

and they will give me a good midpoint

short scaffold
#

are they uniform or not?

latent meadow
#

uniform as in?

short scaffold
#

cuz if they're not, then it would be a lesser approximation of the center

short scaffold
latent meadow
#

as an example of how bad it gets

short scaffold
#

oh yeah that should be a good estimate

#

im putting an emphasis on estimate here

latent meadow
#

thanks!

#

Although alternative question

#

do you know a good algorithm to get the average from a list of 4000 numbers

short scaffold
#

just add em all

#

then divide by 4000

latent meadow
#

im thinkin efficiency but i guess it will take long with big lists...

#

😅

short scaffold
#

if the numbers forms a geometric series or arithmetic, it should be way faster

#

just use the partial summation formula

latent meadow
short scaffold
#

its just the summation notation lmao, but in a formulaic way

#

mainly only for geometric and arithmetic series

#

find the common ratio or difference between the numbers, and then use the partial sum formula

#

this is a very unlikely scenario tho

#

i.e., the numbers are a geometric or arithmetic series

latent meadow

deep prism
#

Is there a way to calculate theta without a calculator?

deep prism
#

@orchid torrent

merry finch
#

Yes

#

Draw a triangle

deep prism
#

and then measure it xD?

you would usually do it with atan(1/sqrt(3))

merry finch
#

#

Draw it first

#

If you can do it by hand it’ll either be the 30 60 90 or 45 45 90 triangles

cold sage
#

there are some standard results you should know, or memorise tools like the unit circle or trig triangles

merry finch
#

You just have to figure out which way it’s looking

#

And use Pythagoras

deep prism
merry finch
#

Just draw it

#

That is the shortcut

deep prism
#

so i cannot even measure it

#

i just tested it. if it is allowed. it would be huge

merry finch
#

#

Bruh

cold sage
#

no one is saying to make a scale accurate drawing and measure itcat_happycry

merry finch
#

So it’s half an equilateral triangle

#

So what must the angles be

deep prism
#

60

#

smart

#

this works for this triangle. but if it is -1/2 + sqrt(3)/2 i

#

like the second question

deep prism
#

one can see that it is in q2.

#

but i cant see if it is 120 or 130 deg

1st step is from after applying sin C + sin D

Try this: Rewrite cos(A+B+C) as cos(A+(B+C)), in other words: treat b and c as one number, then apply the angle sum identity

lusty helm

whats your first step?

he applied cos c + cos d

ill let vansh help, seems like he has more experience than me in trig (considering i have none)

ok but what is it

woeful escarp

uh

#

wait wait

woeful escarp

@noble solstice

lusty helm
#

thats correct

#

what about 2nd step?

woeful escarp
lusty helm
#

yeah that's incorrect

#

as in its multiplication

#

you must not forget BODMAS

woeful escarp
#

I applied on then

#

Them

lusty helm
woeful escarp
lusty helm
#

yes

woeful escarp
lusty helm
woeful escarp
# lusty helm yes

It got in multiplication after I applied cos C + cos D on the 2nd line but on 1st line both middle terms were in +

lusty helm
#

see the blaack

#

they both in multi

#

you did like

#

2x3 + 5x6
3x5 and then mult, which is incorrect

woeful escarp
#

Oh I understand

lusty helm
#

yup

woeful escarp
#

So it is not possible to do cos C + cos D of the 2 middle terms?

lusty helm
#

nop

#

take cos (alpha+beta)/2 common

#

and then apply cos c + cos d (on whom which are in bracket)

woeful escarp
#

Now the problem of the extra cos ( alpha + beta /2) is also solved

lusty helm
#

yup

woeful escarp
#

U are doing what currently IIT?

lusty helm
#

in 12th

woeful escarp
#

Or JEE?

lusty helm
#

jee

#

i am good at maths

woeful escarp
#

Like this or I tske 2cos common?

woeful escarp
lusty helm
#

,rotate

clever fjordBOT
lusty helm
#

take 2 common too

#

and aply cos x + cos d

#

that would give u the ans

#

and then try 2 with same logic and lmk if you get it or not

woeful escarp
lusty helm
#

alright

woeful escarp
#

@lusty helm

#

I want answer in all sin but for than it should be cos C - cos D but it is cos C + cos D

#

If for Sin C - sin D = 2cos ( C+D/2) × sin ( C-D/2) we take -Sin C + sin D = 2cos ( C+D/2) × sin ( D-C/2)

#

We will get the answer we want

lusty helm
#

possible

#

you noted ques wrong

#

maybe

#

idk

woeful escarp
#

Nope it is like that

#

If it was cos it would be easy cause cos - A = cos A but sin - A is - sin A

#

Sin is Negative in 4th quadrant 😭

woeful escarp
lusty helm
#

gimme some time

#

i am doing some calc ques

#

yup back

#

is there anything given alpha, beta, gamma is angles of trianglw>

#

2 gets cancelled out

#

as alpha + beta + alpha - beta + 2gamma = 2(alpha + gamma)/2 = alpha + gamma

#

same with other and will give you beta + gamma

#

aha wait but its /2

#

nvm

#

you have done everything correct till now

#

yeah you have done + - mistake

#

here -alpha-beta would come

#

then applu sin(-x) = -sin x

#

and you will get ans

sat math question

odd edgeBOT
verbal talon
#

don't know where to start for this one

lusty helm
#

take a/(x²+a²)^1/2 to to other

#

side

#

since denominator is same

#

add them

#

and then reduce the numerator which you get after addition by denominator and you will be left by:
(x²+a²)^1/2

verbal talon
#

(x^2+a^2)/sqrt(x^2+a^2)=27

lusty helm
#

yes

#

reduce

verbal talon
lusty helm
#

multiply and divide √(x²+a²)

verbal talon
#

wait so the denominator is basically (x^2+a^2)^1/2

lusty helm
#

yes

verbal talon
#

and using exponent properties we can reduce the left side to (x^2+a^2)^1/2

lusty helm
#

yes

#

now simply square both sides

verbal talon
#

square each side to get x^2+a^2=27^2

lusty helm
#

yes

verbal talon
#

subtract a^2

#

and then square root

#

x = sqrt(27^2-a^2)

lusty helm
#

this will give you

x= ± √(27²-a²)

#

yea go with +

like based on the log graph the gray line

#

the gray line?

30?

pastel orbit
viral herald
#

this line

sharp girder
#

You probably would have to guess it to an approximate value

viral herald
#

yeah

sharp girder
#

I’d say abt 30

viral herald
#

but the graph is a log graph

#

so at the middle of 10^2 and 1 it would be 10^1

sharp girder
#

So 10^x = 30

viral herald
#

which is 10

#

and when i approximate the value to be around 10^0.8 i got a werid answer to my question

sharp girder
#

Not sure then

#

Maybe you have to get the value of the gray line though something else,

viral herald
#

the question just said extimate from log graph

sharp girder
#

Does the value have to be 10^x

#

Can it not be 20,30

viral herald
#

it has to be 10^x

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

Ok first thing I notice

#

the denominator gets squared

#

So you need a power to the 6 not 4

#

and you are missing (2-x)

#

$f'(x) = \frac{-1 \cdot (x+2)^3 - \textcolor{red}{(2-x)} \cdot 3 \cdot (x+2)^2}{(x+2)^{\textcolor{red}{6}}}$

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

#

oh I just noticed

#

lmao

#

you factored already

#

no you didnt

wanton bison
#

and then you can factor

#

(x+2)²

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

Yea just said

#

factorize

wanton bison
cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

yes!

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

yes

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

Now what

#

We need to work on the numerator, right

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

well look the other term

#

it's (2-x)

#

not (2+x)

#

so they dont have that in common

cinder stirrup
#

And then factor it out

wanton bison
#

what about

#

expansion

#

Let's expand the terms

#

can you tell me what we would get

#

multiplying it out

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

multiplying everything out

cinder stirrup
#

Ok imma try that

wanton bison
#

can you tell me what you would get in chat

#

or do you think you can continue alone?

cinder stirrup
#

On keyboard

wanton bison
#

write it on keyboard I can code it

cinder stirrup
#

-x-2 - 6-3x / x+2^4 ?

wanton bison
#

yea (dont forget brackets)

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

when you multiply the - into it

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

Now we can add some terms together

#

can you add them together for me

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

yes

#

very good

cinder stirrup
#

Nice!

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

last step?

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

not quiet

#

any common number in the numerator

#

so that we can factorize

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

look at 2 and 8

#

do they have something in common

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

hmm yea that's correct

#

what else

#

the plan is we wanna factorize 2

#

like in the solution

#

so the 8

cinder stirrup
#

If u divide it by 2 wouldnt the two dissapear cause it just be x?

wanton bison
#

ahh this is what you mean

#

ok i understood you wrong

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

well we really pull out things then that we literally divide

#

my point was

#

8 is the same as 2 * 4

#

what do 8 and 2 have in common

#

they both have the 2

#

8 = 4 * 2
2 = 1 * 2

#

so thats the common term

cinder stirrup
#

So we can get rid of the two?

clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

see thats our common factor

#

now we can pull it out

cinder stirrup
clever fjordBOT
#

𝔸dωn𝓲²s

wanton bison
#

and thats it

#

So the goal is to simplify your terms by expanding (mulitiplying everything out) and factorization

#

recognize patterns and so on

cinder stirrup
wanton bison
#

not gone!

#

just outside!

#

outside the brackets

cinder stirrup
#

Oooh im dumb

wanton bison
cinder stirrup
#

Ok i get what u did now

wanton bison
#

yea it's called factorization

cinder stirrup
#

Thanks a bunch!! Ur explanation helped a lot!

wanton bison
#

factorization is basically reversing what's been multiplied out

#

2(x+y) = 2x+2y

cinder stirrup

that's fine 😄

solid smelt
# sullen ferry expand (x-1)^2 :3

I see, and my second question is about this. The image says:
This expression needs to be reduced
...
For this, the following procedure is proposed
...
Why is the proposed procedure incorrect?

Can i simplify $\frac{n^k}{n^0+n^1+n^2+...+n^{k-1}}$?

clever fjordBOT
brittle notch
#

The denominator is a GP

#

Any idea about that?

wild spruce
#

yea

#

that'd be $\frac{n^k-1}{n-1}$

clever fjordBOT
wild spruce
#

oh wait no

brittle notch
#

Correct

wild spruce
#

it

#

is it

#

i feel like i missed smth

brittle notch
#

Nop

wild spruce
#

oh wait yea

#

thats rigth

#

how does that help to simplifying that

brittle notch
#

Lemme think

wild spruce
#

$\frac{n^k(n-1)}{n^k-1}$

brittle notch
#

Yes

clever fjordBOT
brittle notch
#

Yea

#

So do u have any options or something?

wild spruce
#

options?

brittle notch
#

Is it multiple choice?

wild spruce
#

no

brittle notch
#

Then how do I know if it's simplified

brittle notch
wild spruce
#

actualy i think u can still simplify the lower part
