Can someone please suggest me a graphing website
I need to graph these points for a statistics project tomorrow but the website I'm on isn't really working
I need to make a scatter plot
You could use excel or google spreadsheets, lots of information about them online

Not sure how to do 3a
where are you stuck?
notice that 25^x is the square of 5^x
25^x
= (25)^x
= (5^2)^x
= (5)^2x
= 5^2x
= (5^x)^2
wth
u can't do that
if u log left side
u log right side
and log 0 is undefined
also when u log left side
u can't split each term into logs
it's log all of the left side
log isn't distributive
try and sub u = 5^x
log(a+b) ≠ log(a) + log(b)
yea
What about this??
idk what you mean by the letter u
you know how 25^x is the square of 5^x right
yea
right
so how about you replace 5^x = u and convert it into an equation of u
then when you find the values of u you can say 5^x=u and solve for x
does that sound right

h != 1. ow you'll have linearly dependent vectors
|D| != 0 is the condition
we had a note in class that says c1v1+c2v2+c3v3=0 in order to be linearly independent
why can't we apply it and solve the system?
that implies you missed a crucial piece of addition to this sentence
inconsequential, but check entry 2,2 in the upper triangular matrix
I also know that linear indepedncy must have full rank
add this to your notes -> "...to be linearly independent, must only have c1 = c2 = c3 = 0 as solution"
so u mean the constants themselves not coeffiecents ?
like c1=c2=c3=0 where v1....vn must be non zero ?
Yes c1 = c2 = c3 = 0 must be the case, if you have three linearly independent vectors satisfying the equation c1v1 + c2v2 + c3v3 = 0

oh one more thing
it is actually unrelated but I wanna check
is this is the correct formula for Gram schimdt process?
Someone will have the syllabus of the IMO Olympiad, please, and thanks
no
what do you mean by dot product of a scalar times vector?
$x_2 \cdot v_1 \cdot v_1$?
Arya
this is the Gram Schmidt process.
And you can check why projection of v_1 on x_2 is what is written
tbh I don't know my teacher wrote it like that.
But I am not sure whether if | | v| |^2 or | |v|| for v2
okay
no, ||v_1|| implies norm of a vector, or simply it's magnitude
(x_2 . v_1) is the size of the projection vector of x_2 on v_1, and (v_1)cap ,i.e., the direction of the projection vector, is given by (v_1)/(its magnitude = ||v_1||)
alr
thx

teacher has given us a bonus question that we have until the end of the year to solve, and we will get bonus points for solving it.
it is a riddle.
it goes something like this:
"A king of an ancient land asked his engineer to build him a bridge to replace the knotted up bridge which makes the crossing of the river difficult, with the proper measuring tools missing, the engineer can only measure the width of the river using steps of the kings servants.
how could the engineer calculate the width of the river (AB) using 4 of the king's servant?"
i dont have an answer to this question available, so anything goes, i guess.
if something doesnt make sense, i translated this on my own, so feel free to ask.
I have not been able to come up with a solution
Butler ?
Okk !
one of the servants could stand at point B and another one (call him C) could move alongside the river until the angle BCA is 45°, then the width of the river is same as the distance between B and C
7
though I dont know what tools exactly are available
I assume you are really only allowed to count steps somehow
I'm thinking something with having one servant go over the bridge and another mimics the motions or something
@molten skiff Has your question been resolved?
i dont wanna clog up this room, if someone sees this, DM me if you have a question, maybe the C angle approach works, ill have to ask the teacher though, because im not sure how youll be able to measure the angle of ACB
you aren't allowed to directly measure angles
otherwise you don't even need the knotted bridge

can anyone walk me through finding the asymptote?
Sure
So let’s start with
What is an asymptote
an x or y value that the graph cannot be at any point
mhm
so if we plugged infinity into the equation
we'd have -2(1/4)^infinity
and what can you say about (1/4)^infinity
we'll get there but
what can you say specifically about (1/4)^(a big number)
as the power gets bigger, what happens to numbers between 0 and 1
for example (1/4)^2 = 1/16
(1/4)^3 = 1/64
..
what do you see happening here
they get smaller
yes
so if we have the power as infinity
what can we say that (1/4)^infinity is tending towards
zero? or just a smaller and smaller number?
yeah exactly
its getting smaller and smaller
so will tend toward zero but never reach it
yeah
so -2(1/4)^(x-2) will tend toward zero
but never reach it
so whats the asymptote
0
but i don't understand how that makes sense with the equation
could you explain what u dont understand
as x gets very big, (1/4)^(x-2) gets very small, so f(x) -> -2(0) = 0
yh
okay i think i get it now
im gonna keep working and if i get confused again ill come back
goodbye and thank you !

Hello! What does absolute value help us with in terms of calculus?
calculating limits
It is my first time learning algebra in preparation for calculus in May. Is there any way you could help me understand a bit more than that?
if i'm not mistaken you are taking functions yea ?
That is correct, I am attempting to learn more about functions, yes!
absolute value function is known for being a piecewise function you what these functions are ?
Yes! Aren’t they functions that have discontinuity?
not nesseceraly (can't spell it lol)
they are combined functions each with a specific intereval for it
Interval meaning domain values?
yea
What’s important about piecewise functions and why did you bring them up
because the absoulte value function is a piecewise function
And how is that important to the calculus
cuz when dealing with problems including absolute value
sometimes you need to how it is defined
specifically in limit problems
Oh! Could you give me an example
this video would help https://youtu.be/y5Wp3RHQ7aQ?si=qsyQFGNJlEJBmEPU
In this video, Professor Gonzalinajec demonstrates how to evaluate a limit, with an absolute value in the denominator, algebraically.
(This is an edited second version. The first version had a typo.)
as an example
Let’s talk about derivatives
no problem what do you want to know

@devout kayak Has your question been resolved?
Hello
yea
How do we transition from Algebra to calculus?
How should I be thinking about how to learn this
What would you consider the easiest practice problem in calculus
Go read books to learn foundations
I have Stewart’s calculus 6e
Evaluate d/dx(x)
What do I do with that
What’s the question asking
To evaluate the derivative of x with respect to x
Frfr
I’m not sure I know what that means. Feel like teaching?

How do you do this question?
I'm not sure where to start
how would you find g"?
that would be f(x)
f'(x) ig
well cuz how would I find the 2nd derivative if I don't have a function
f'(x) would be the derivative tho...
but idk how to move on from there...
of f sure
but it’s also the second derivative of g
and the question asks for g concave up
hence we need to find the intervals where g’’ > 0
but since g’’ = f’
this is no different than finding where f’ > 0
what does f’ > 0 mean graphically
the function is increasing
and where is that graphically
-4 to 1
no
huh
try again
that would be f >= 0
so would it be -4 < x < 1 ?
sure that’s one part of the answer
-4 < x < -2 and 2 < x < 6
just to make sure
f' > 0 is the same as f is concave up?
nope
f’ > 0 implies f is increasing
but in this problem f’ = g’’ hence f’ > 0<—> g’’ > 0
o ok
so if f’ > 0 then g’’ > 0 so g is concave up

what have you tried?
i'm completely lost
for the first part
i use the cross product right
and then ijk then the derivative of x , y and z then lastly function and make it equal to 0
but for B
what does the question even mean
yes, for the first part, you can check if the curl of F is zero
so a conservative vector field can always be written as the gradient of some function f(x, y, z)
the problem is asking you to find such a function f, if F is conservative
what would be the first step
i know i have use the derivative for the function
but it's asking for the whole rate of change of the function
so the gradient of a function comes with three pieces of information
the gradient of a function $f$ is $\grad f = \left(\pdv{f}{x}, \pdv{f}{y}, \pdv{f}{z} \right)$
fallenstars
therefore, you are looking for a function $f$ such that $$\pdv{f}{x} = \mathbf{F}_x = 2xy, \pdv{f}{y} = \mathbf{F}_y = x^2 + 2yz, \pdv{f}{z} = \mathbf{F}_z = y^2$$
i think i have an idea but i think it's wrong
you can tell me :p
is this clear?
fallenstars
i use the deriviate of fx on each right then make it equal to 2xy?
then i apply derivate of y on all of them and make it equal to x^2 +2yz
but like
what am i solving for
sorry, I'm back
if you look at Fx
then i find f(x,y,z)=x^2y+g(y,z)
and youll get similar for the other components
once you have them youll have to look at them all to determine what those functions like g are
does it matter the order?
fallenstars
is our first equation
2y right
you can integrate both sides to find part of what f is
OH
plus a function that depends only on y and z
then you repeat with the other variables
how do you know?
so it would be x^2 * y + K?
you know how when you integrate, you always have a constant at the end?
and when you differentiate back, you kill the constant?
yes but the depends of y and z
when we differentiate in terms of x, any function solely in terms of y and z is just 0
so when we integrate this, we can safely assume that the integration constant is in terms of y and z
that is, it is a function of y and z
ahhh
i see tysm
wait so what does this mean
cause i have the constant K
but what does it change with my methods
you will use the other two equations to solve for the constant of integration g(y, z)
,, \pdv{f}{y} = x^2 + 2yz \ \pdv{f}{z} = y^2
fallenstars
these two
once you have that, you're done!
you've found an f such that grad f = F
wait can you give me like 2 mins please
sure!
let me try and come up with an answer
I got this right
and I have to solve for the constants?
hmm, you don't need to integrate all three
just one is enough for now
we're going to do this one step at a time
so like, you know that f(x, y, z) = x^2y + g(y, z) now, right?
you're gonna use the equation $\pdv{f}{y} = x^2 + 2yz$ next to find what $g(y, z)$ is
fallenstars
and the way to do this is to recognize that since we know $f(x, y, z) = x^2y + g(x, y)$, we have that $\pdv{f}{y} = x^2 + \pdv{g}{y} = x^2 + 2yz$
fallenstars
so $\pdv{g}{y} = 2yz$
fallenstars
and now you integrate again, to find g as a function of y and z, plus an integration constant that only depends on z: h(z)
and do that one more time, and you're done 
does that make sense? 
okay i think i understand it now
let me try one more time
just for confirmation
i'll be fast

okay i think i did it
is the answer 2xy + (y^2)*z - (y^2)z + K?
this doesn't seem right to me 
hold on
if you differentiate that wrt z, do you get back y^2?
ah...
okay, g(x, y) step looks good
g(x, y) = y^2z + h(z)
that's good
I can't really tell what you did at the end 
the end was so confusing im sorry
fallenstars
you omitted the final = y^2, for some reason
does it make sense where this is coming from? 
where did that extra y^2 come from
fallenstars

h(z) = a constant K, yes!
oh my
it happens to not depend on z at all
how do we know that for certain
and you can verify that $f(x, y, z) = x^2y + y^2z + C$ indeed has your gradient
fallenstars
because $\pdv{f}{z} = y^2 + \pdv{h}{z} = y^2 \implies \pdv{h}{z} = 0 \implies h(z) = C$
fallenstars
no problem 
don't worry about it, and have a nice day too!!

This is a test question that we get at home, help is needed 🙏
First, you have to find one zero with the Rational Root Theorem
x0 = p / q, where
- p is a factor of -72, the independent term of the polynomial equation
- q is a factor of 1, the coeficient of x^7
So, x0 could be $\frac{\pm1 , \pm2, \pm3, \pm4, \pm6, \pm8, \pm9, \pm12, \pm18, \pm24, \pm36, \pm72}{\pm1}$
carp
You have to test each value and then if it results 0, you found a zero x0
Then, you can divide the polynomial by (x - x0) or use the Briot Ruffini method to factorize the polynomial
wait, but what would happen if I divide that entire equation by x+1
You will have a polynomial of degree 6, that is, the highest value of all the monomials is x^6
And then, you can apply the same thing again
Find a root of the polynomial -> Divide by x - x0 / Briot Ruffini -> Repeat
If you find more than one root, you can describe as (x - x0) . (x - x1) and divide the polynomial, so you will have less work to do
you mean (x+1)² ?
yes!
Well, then you can divide the polynomial by that, (x+1)² = x² + 2x + 1
It will be a lot of work, but factorizing that polynomial is not simple without tricky methods 
Your teacher hasn't taught you the rational root theorem?
no

Hi I need help getting started on answering on solving this equation
|x-9| = |x+6|
I just don't know what to do, I flip the signs of both equations? I create branches of either or or what:(
Plus when I try isolating the variable they cancel out so I'm just left with my sum equaling nothing
|x-9| = |x+6| means that x-9 = x + 6 or x - 9 = -(x+6); convince yourself that this is the correct enumeration of possibilities
the first possibility doesn't really work, so you're left with the second
but how does the rest of the equation look like?
when i try isolating the variable it just cancels out completely
$\x-9
$\x-9$
oswaldo_something
$\x-9$
```Compilation error:```! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \x
l.49 $\x
-9$
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.```
$x-9$
Bonk
$\ x-9=-x-6$
oswaldo_something
then it means that for that case there is no x
if you were to look at the graphs of |x-9| and |x+6|, then you can see why
we have 3 cases
x>9
-6<x<9
and x<-6

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.

At first find the value of $a+(1/a)$
Arjuna
I got 3 for that
than find $a^3+(1/a^3)$
Arjuna
Its the value of (1/f) . than find F .
I'm stuck on how to find this
$a^3 + 3(a^2)(1/a) + 3a(1/a)^2 + 1/a^3 = 27$
chocolate
$a^3 + 3a + 3/a + 1/a^3 = 27$
chocolate
$a^3+(1/a^3)+3(a+1/a)=27$
Arjuna
you have the value of a+(1/a)
What do I do next from here
whats the value of $a^3+(1/a^3)$?
Arjuna
$a^3+(1/a^3)=27-3(a+1/a)$
chocolate
$a^3+(1/a^3)=18$
Arjuna
Where did you get 18 from?
dont you get 3?
$(a^6+1)/a^3=18$
Arjuna
$a^3/(a^6+1)=1/18$
Arjuna

ah, mb
since when is $\sqrt{\frac{\sin ^2 \theta}{\cos ^2\theta}} = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$?
fastrack_and_backtrack
this is in reference to your 4th step
always (well, absolute value)
precisely my point
it is in fact not always true. so there should be an absolute value there
I was taught to not consider absolute values in indefinite integration
Only in definite integration
generally we assume the limits of integration are such that those don't matter
generally the point of indefinite integration is to provide formulas to use when you are definitely integrating. anyways, if you assume some convenient conditions , what you have written looks right

This is an application of net forces
You have tension, gravity, and centripetal force
So you should know what the net acceleration should be
You can choose any arbitrary $\theta$, and if you know the height, you can get the radius of travel.
SWR
Since your only acting forces are tension and gravity, the acceleration can be calculated
And with acceleration and radius, you get velocity
Then period follows right after
Centripetal acceleration

Why do we always to add a limit instead of just integrating straight away?
Sometimes direct substitution leads to an indeterminate form
wdym by integrating straight away in the first place ?
how do you do that with an infinite bound ?
Without adding a limit, creating an extra variable, replacing it with x and finally replacing it with infinity
@echo ginkgo
that's pretty much computing the limit in my book
Oh so is it because we dont know exactly what the area will be?
E.g. Sin(x) / x
well the area might not even exist in some cases if you have an infinite bound yes
Because no limit suggests direct substitution i.e. sin(0)/0 = 0/0 which is indeterminate
and how do you substitute directly infinity anyway ?
@echo ginkgo By replacing it with x after integration
@rapid reef why 0 and not infinity?
and how do you evaluate the result you get ?
?
You would end up in the same exact situation when using a limit as when you dont use a limit anyway
(F(infinity))
yeah so you're just using limits without saying it
For the example I gave, inf doesn’t work at all bc of sin
@echo ginkgo oh Is it some kinda thing that you cant use infinity in cases where you dont have limits
@rapid reef I get it, but lets say you added a limit, you wouldnt still be able to replace x with infinity
No, but you can employ other methods to determine what the function will converge to as x tends to infinity
F(infinity) is just bastardized notation for a limit is what I'm saying
but yeah if the limit doesn't exist, you'll have trouble getting a value out of that
So really its a notation problem
Guys I learnt a lot, thx both of you

hey anyone can teach me
I need help in understanding 'Solving algebraic equations' i cant understand some of it
Alright. Firstly, what do you not understand?
sometimes my teacher uses the sum of the but theres no parenthesis but sometimes too if my teacher uses the sum of the there is a parenthesis
the word "The sum of the"
What?
Sum of the what?
and the question wiat imma give example
The sum of two numbers is 15. If one of the numbers is 7 theres no parenthesis if i write that in Numbers
How would you write it in notation?
𝑥
+
7
15
𝑥+7=15
no parenthesis
even i used the word The Sum
nvm you know what lets just move on the most thing that idk that my teacher gave too me that i dont even know and didint teach to me
3.5p=10.5p can you please give the answer and explain?
btw its still Solving Algebraic Equations
3.5p = 10.5p? That's not right.
yep thats right
Did you forget something?
Oh, I see.
I can tell you how to solve it, and you work out the answer yourself. OK?
okay
Now, this is actually quite simple.
To solve:
3.5p = 10.5,
You divide both sides by 3.5.
ye
Alright, how do you do so?
It's OK, don't say that.
What I mean, is this:
3.5p / 3.5 = 10.5 / 3.5
oh
im wrong ig
lets continue tommorow
im sleepy
sowwy
cuz im answering this 1 to 40 question
Oh, I see. But we have to finish this question first...
oh ok
3.5p / 3.5 = 10.5 / 3.5
So, what happens when you evaluate this?
the answer will show and it will be 3
OK, good job. We'll continue this tomorrow. Most probably won't be in the same channel though.

If i have a coordinate on a circle and i want to find the tangent line to the circle. and i only know the point's location and the radius of circle and its center. How do it do it
-
Find the slope of the radius: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
-
Find the slope of the tangent: -1 / slope of the radius
-
Use the point-slope form: y - y2 = tangent slope(x - x2)

Hey guys any help with the following:
I need to find an example for a function g: $R to R$ that satisfies the following conditions:
a. g is bounded, b. $lim_{x\to 0}g(x) doesn't exists$, c. $g(x) \neq 0 \forall x\neq 0$
my example was g(x) = sin(1/x)
the second question is given $f(x,y) = (x^2+y^2)g(x)g(y)$ now i need to show that $\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} f(x,y)=0$ but the limits $\lim_{x\to 0}\lim_{y\to 0} f(x,y), \lim_{y\to 0}\lim_{x\to 0} f(x,y)$

I have a question regarding basic plane geometry.
While reviewing lessons for a test, I redid this problem and ran into an issue in understanding my reason for why angle 1 is equal to angle 2, considering the sparse givens only dealing with the lengths of some lines. I double checked it by the official answer source, and it confirmed my answer.
They expected me to give a reason as to why angle 1 was equal to angle 2 by way of vertical angles being equal, yet I couldn’t see why it was reasonable to assume that lines AMB and CMD were straight lines and not broken lines as you see in a hypothetical diagram below
I know they warned me not to make assumptions just by observation of the diagram, but how was I supposed to know that the two lines crossing point M were straight and not broken?
@clear rune Has your question been resolved?
Thank you for the help, but I noticed that the example stated that the lines are two straight lines as a given, and yet my problem does not elaborate that
The only givens are that line AM is equal to line BM, and that line CM is equal to line DM
NOT that line AB or line CD is straight
I believe you are to assume CD is a straight line. Otherwise, the problem cannot be solved
It does not say anywhere that "CD and AB intersect at M"?
or anything like that?
No, I checked
Well, if the answer is that for this problem, I can judge based on visual observation, I can treat this as a clerical error and pretend that they did
This is clearly an exception to the rule
So I thank you for your time

sqrt((x-3)/2)+sqrt(2x)=sqrt(x+3)
i tried moving sqrt((x-3)/2) and sqrt(x+3) together and using the a^2+2ab+b^2 thingy
$\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{2}}+\sqrt{2x}=\sqrt{x+3}$
Bonk
yes
i then got sqrt((x-3)/2) times sqrt(x+3) = (x-3)/-4
I then squared all sides to get ((x-3)/2)(x+3)=(x^2-6x+9)/16
I multiplied to get ((x-3)(x+3))/2 = ((x-3)(x-3))/16
I cancelled and reached the ending of 16(x+3)(x-3)=2(x-3)(x-3)
cancelling the rest out would result in the answer of X= -27/7
Now my answer, when reput into the original equation
is incorrect
Im stuck help
<@&286206848099549185>
What did you do?
well if your referring to my work I described it above
if your referring to that then I tried making a perfect square trinomial on the two terms
if your referring to step 1
It was a^2+b^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
you have roots. Usually, you want to square both sides when you have roots
in this case, that will result in you having one root instead of 3
then, you get said root in one of the members, and the rest on the other, and square both sides again. Then you wont have roots, and you'll be left with a second degree equation.
Is this enough information?
Im having trouble understanding the correct step to do after finding the root
because If I plug in this root I have then its incorrect
its extrenious
okay, my mistake.
When i said "root" in my messages here, i dont mean as "root of the equation", i meant it as a square root
you currently have something of the form:
a + b = c
If you square both sides, you will get:
a^2 + b^2 + 2ab = c^2
yes
so there, the only term that will still be a square root will be the "2ab" that i termed there
yes
obviously, that line leads to:
2ab = c^2 - a^2 - b^2
Which when you square again, will have no square roots, and (if i didnt fuck it up somewhere) will be a 2nd degree equation
Can you solve it with this?
yes
it turns out I just did my work really messy
my apologies for asking this dumb question
the answer however, is 3?
man this question took a bit of brainpower

How do I find the integral of sin⁴x dx using (1-cos²x)² rather than the usual (1/2(cos2x+1))²
I'll tell you a trick
Ok
,w int sin^4 x dx
should be 3/8 x instead of 1/8 x
Where does it come from
Ohhhh let me try again with + and see
So I got -3/16 sin2x+ 3/8x
Is that right @wooden gorge
Is -3/16 sin2x+ 3/8x the same as 3/8x- 1/4 sin2x + 1/32 sin4x for the integral of sin⁴x <@&286206848099549185>
@cursive pewter Has your question been resolved?
No
And if it's so difficult, you could instead go sin ⁴ x = acos 4x + bcos 2x + c
Solve for a, b, c
What is this based on
I thought different methods lead to the same answer
Could I have made an error?
Yes
Or maybe the answers are the same but in different forms?
Clearly, you'd be having a cos² 2x term which then leads to a cos 4x term, but you're missing it
Also, cos² 2x = (1 + cos 4x)/2 not (1 + cos 2x)/2
I didn't have that term anywhere
Okay

Can someone help me quickly prove $\frac{1}{n+1}=\sum^{n}_{p=0}\binom{n}{p}\frac{(-1)^p}{p+1}$?
Felix.5
Try expanding the binomial coefficient and get rid of the p+1 in the denominator
I don't see how $\sum^{n}_{p=1}\frac{(-1)^p}{(p+1)!(n-p)!}=\frac{1}{(n+1)!}$
Felix.5
$\sum^{n}_{p=1}\frac{n!(-1)^p}{(p+1)!(n-p)!}=\frac{1}{(n+1)}$ this, right?
Jelle
what you want to prove now
You can multiply top and bottom of the fraction on the LHS with n + 1, and move the (n + 1) in the denominator out of the sum
starts at p = 0 btw
@quick sand Has your question been resolved?
I don't see how $\sum^n_{p=0}\frac{(-1)^p (n+1)!}{(p+1)!(n-p)!}=1$ helps, maybe doing induction would be easier.
Felix.5
You can change it back to $\sum_{p=0}^n \binom{n+1}{p+1}(-1)^p$
Jelle
Jelle
if thats fact I see it. But for a follow up question I need to calculate $\sum^{n}_{p=0}\binom{n}{p}\frac{(-1)^p}{p+2}$
