you have to include () or [] in interval notation always
oh yea
(0,infinity) and (-infinity,-1]
not "and" but union
oh yeh but why is their answer like that
they decided to put it in set builder notation instead of interval notation
oh ok thx

Q15 chat
A bag contains 5 red, 3 blue, and 2 green balls. Two balls are drawn without replacement. The probability that they
are of different colors is:
How tf do i do ts
what are your initial thoughts
5/10 chance for a red ball 3/10 chance for a blue ball and 2/10 for a green one
For the first ball taken out
casework
What's that
consider each case separately
Okay
in this case (heh) you have 3 cases to think of
to be more structured, you have two ways of looking at this problem
Yes
one is to calculate the probablity of drawing each possible combo of differing colored balls
the other is to use the complement method
I feel like this will take alot of time
then complement method it is
What is that
given the stipulation in the question, what kind of situation are we trying to avoid?
having two balls of the same colour
excellent
Thank you
overall, the probability of drawing two balls without condition is 1, p sure you agree
What's 1, p
1 is the maximum overall probability for an event space
Yes
p = pretty
Yes
so our target probability is (probability of drawing 2 balls without conditions) - (probability of drawing 2 same-colored balls) = 1 - P(draw 2 same-colored balls)
agreed?
this is the crux of the complement method
we find our desired probability by taking the total probability, and then removing all probabilities of events we don't want
whatever remains must be the probability of the events we are interested in
now
the challenge is to find P(2 same-colored balls)
Yes
Yes
casework helps here
case 1: say we drew a red ball up first.
our condition requires us to draw two balls of the same condition. by this stipulation, what must be the second ball's color in this case?
Red
1/2
don't simplify yet
5/10
state them as they are
good
now, after drawing the first red, how many balls are left, and of them how many are red?
9 balls left, 4 are red
so the probability of drawing another red ball would be?
4/9
cool
so the overall probability of drawing two reds in a row from the start is...?
5/10 × 4/9?
correct!
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
what about the green balls?
2/10 × 1/9
Mb
(prefer sending a new message over editing. sometimes we can miss edits because we are not notified on an edit)
anyway
Okay
now you have gotten the probabilities for each individual case
we know we don't want any of them
Yes
so we don't want (red AND red) OR (blue AND blue) OR (green AND green)
Yes
if you multiplied probabilities when there is an AND, what do you do when there is an OR?
no
Subtract?
no again
i was looking for just add
you're not at the subtracting part yet
but close
anyway, so now you know you need to add up all of these probabilities
but we don't want them, and at the start we said we can do 1 - (this whole probability)
got your attack plan now?
Yes
go ham.
Hell yeah
well done. anything else?
simplify
hm
I think the question is wrong
The answers
I can use this method in all problems right?
generally yes, but you have to be smart about defining the complement of the events
My teachers been giving me too many wrong questions lately
I think this is a test
I will discuss this with him
at least show your working first though
show that you understood the requirements of the question
Yes
I don't wanna nag him too much tho, he seems really depressed
you don't have to call him out harshly, yk
just let him know that there's a mistake in the question
He would beat my ass up if I do that anyway
if he didn't make your life difficult, you don't have to make his difficult
anyway
any other math questions?
I will write this down
Not yet
Will prolly get one in the next 20 mins

1st image is the question, 2nd image is the answer.
To answer this question I first supposed that 2 of the 3 peppers picked were orange, therefore the 3rd pepper I need to pick from can either be Yellow (2 peppers remaining) or Orange (3 peppers remaining); Therefore the probability is 3/2+3 = 3/5.
Somewhere my reasoning failed as the correct answer is 1/3, and I fully understand and follow the reasoning given in the book.
The rest of the question isn't needed for this problem if i read it correctly, here it is just in case:
(Please ping me!, thanks :))
@noble solstice Has your question been resolved?
your reasoning implies
either be Yellow (2 peppers remaining) or Orange (3 peppers remaining)
these two events are equally likely. Can you explain why 2 orange peppers remaining has the same chance as 3 orange peppers remaining?
Its the same kind of logic when people say tomorrow is either sunday or not, so 50% chance its sunday
Sorry I'm not really following, why does my reasoning imply that?
2 Orange peppers remaining and 3 orange peppers remaining are not equally likely as the first implies I picked 3 orange peppers meanwhile the last implies i picked 2 orange peppers and 1 yellow pepper, which are not equally likely events
"Given that 2 peppers are orange" means that I only have one more pepper to pick, this last pepper can either be yellow (2/5) or orange (3/5)
I'm so confused

PnC weak😔
cant help
all good :}
very interesting probability
I sadly cannot help but it is nonetheless interesting
np!
how would you describe it
I did some probability last year, what we learned is some formulas related to it, all I can say is that you could use them I guess 😭, I really don't remember them myself!
I agree
ok OP do you know any conditional prob
Yep
I mean the issue is that I understand how to solve the problem correctly, I'm just not sure what is incorrect with my solution
Like I know how to solve the question, I just used a different method which gives me a wrong answer, but I can't find the error in my reasoning
And it's frustrating cause this happens all the time with probability and it's usually something small and dumb
ah
ok
i do not understand what you mean by 'Therefore the probability is 3/2+3'
i do not follow
After picking 2 orange peppers, i have one more pepper to pick, the probability that this last pepper is orange, is the number of favourable outcomes (3) divided by the number of total possible outcomes (5), so 3/5
and what are the 5 outcomes
according to you its first two orange and then any pepper
i think we assume that the peppers are distinct here
only then will 1/3 be valid
and you have gotten 3/5 with one of the assumptions being that all peppers with the same color are identical
huh
yea that does make sense
yea i thought about it for a while and it does make my reasoning incorrect cause now which first two peppers i pick matters even if they are both orange
thanks! @autumn bolt

I’ve made it this far, but I truly have no idea what steps to take from here,
My goal it to find the exact value, which is (720/1681 according to the answer sheet)
<@&268886789983436800>
<@&268886789983436800>
oh my
What was that?
That was horrendous
imagine a right-angled triangle with a leg of 9 and a hypotenuse of 41 :)
then label where x would be
actually wait you already found sin x and cos x
you can just substitute it in no?
I don’t see how, I’m sorry
You let $x = \cos^{-1}(\frac{9}{41})$ and wrote down that $\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)$
on the last two lines you found what $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ are equal to
Yeah,
so...? just put the fraction you found for sin x and cos x into 2 sin x cos x
Oh snap you’re right
Sorry for the trouble, I think I’ve been staring at it for too long
Thank you,

How would i study the variations of |1+1/x|^x on its domain ?
Its derivative is too annoying to manipulate for that
Ideally ud solve for f'>0 and such but not there then
maybe studying the log of that is easier
@slender turtle Has your question been resolved?
Still have sm too hard to manipulate
well i can get it in terms of W(1/e) where W is the lambert W function,
and W(1/e) doesn't appear to be listed among the special values of the lambert W function, which means you probably can't simplify it
,w 1/(1+LambertW(1/e))-1

hello
what does about x=a mean
"about x = a" means the x - a part of the series
about x = 0 would mean x^n
about x = 1 would mean (x - 1)^n
etc.
a series with (x - a)^n converges in a small area around x=a
@manic grail Has your question been resolved?
im confused
what does he mean about x=a
do you want more meaning out of the a for (x - a)^n?
yea thats the general case
what do you get
c0
and so f(a) = c0
yes
so for this series, f(a) is what you get if you put in a into an (x - a) formula
similarly, what would f'(a) be?
no but
on the picture
he says that
and proceeds to not use x=a
thats why im confused
here he is keeping it as a function
good job cutting off the image before that matters then
what
you need to show the rest of the stuff before we can be sure the x=a or (x - a) stuff doesnt matter
wdym by this
like he says about x=a
yea?
but then doesnt say f(a)
thats not what "about x = a" means
we already said this
"about x = a" is how you say out loud the series using (x - a)^n
for example, "about x = 1" is for a series using (x - 1)^n
and "about x = 0" is for a series using x^n
but i dont understand the notation
I am literally explaining it to you right now
why not say for the general form of the power series
ok but i dont understand like why we say x = a
you dont need to see the word "general" to use context clues and see that its the general form
thats a picked value
no it isnt
how is x = a not choosing a value for x?
its a question
have you seen the word "about" being used like this before
about x=a just seems wrong to say to me
nah not really
have you learned function transformations yet?
wdym
its a question
as in linear transformations?
have you reflected a shape on a graph before?
in linear algebra yes
i just answered
this isnt linear algebra
this is just regular algebra
have you learned this in regular algebra before
yes
there is more than one way to say "over the x-axis"
you can also say something like "over y=0"
similarly, "around y=0" or "about y=0"
these all mean the same thing
oh
it means to treat y=0 as the center of something happening
maybe straight translation to my language doesnt help thats why
this is just a strange way to say things where about is used as a preposition
cause its similar to for x=a
you have to recognize "about <noun>"
but i see how you mean its used
yea, its a specific kind of usage for about
most likely youll only ever see it in math
so
using it like that should mean to do something with <noun> as like a center
about x=a
so "about x = a" means "centered at x = a"
means with the center of the radius of convergence being a
yep
ok
this is btw different from the usual usage of about
if you say "how about x = a" that will just mean to plug in x = a
yes ik thats why i was confused
youll just have to get used to these strange usage of words as they come up
sorry i havent studied math in english for long so im still adapting to terminology
yea ok makes sense now
thank you
yes it doesnt
honestly I dont know how youd find this out otherwise
your best luck I think is to read the context to see what "x=a" is being treated as
that way you can learn the usage of about as being like this
yea i thought of it
but given this is probably your only example, you dont have enough to go off of
ok appreciate your help

i am an first year ug engineering student
hello everyone i want the fastest way to master number theory to enter IMB and i have read most of introduction to number theory published by AOPS so please help
as a beginner, the videos of 3blue1brown are very good

thank you
but i don't think there is explanation of properties and small notes
hello everyone i want the fastest way to master number theory to enter IMB and i have read most of introduction to number theory published by AOPS so please help
i have watched it already
maybe use MONT,
what is this??\
its a book of number theory by evan chen i beleive
this is occupied 😭
there is good video on MIT OCW just search matrix and determinants MIT OCW on youtube and learn the properties and find practice problems on internet
or from any linear algbera book
maybe you can ask another question on "Available" up here, like help-30, help-47
for reference i have to study all this for my first sem
Sorry i am new at the group
Oh, I think there are many "deep knowledge", maybe about "matrix analysis"
okay thank you
on youtube
As a math student, I have not learn too much of these on "Linear algebra course".
are there any books for beginners on linear algebra / applied math?
more of a theory based
There are differences in learning focuses, between engineering and math major. I think a time saving way is just to learn these specific topic, but I didn't learn specifically. Sorry for no more suggestions
what if i dont wanna learn specifically but the whole of it ? any ideas?
I think @twin vigil 's suggestion is good enough, I've heard that the MIT Linear algebra courses are excellent

Hi guys, I'm training on proofs with induction, the exercise is"Prove by induction that for every n \in \mathbb{N}, n \geq 3, n! \gt n+2"
I find myself stuck cause I dont know how to do proofs and I'm trying to learn, you'll see all the steps I did in the following pictures, if anybody got any advice on how to keep going with the proof it would be really appreciated! Thank you
it's good to keep in mind what you are trying to prove
you want $(n+1)! > (n+1) + 2$
bloubbloub
currently you have $(n+1)! > n^2 + 3n + 2$
bloubbloub
Oh so the way I wrote (n+1)(n+2) is wrong right?
Honestly I dont understand if I have to "multiply" or "add up
you're supposed to multiply
For example, if I have $n! > n+2$
Shlik Shlak Shluk
Does it have to be $(n+1) multiply n! > (n+1) multiply n+2$?
Shlik Shlak Shluk
Or does it have to be $(n+1)n! > n +1 +2$
Shlik Shlak Shluk
you need to show this
currently you have this
So whenever I'm doing induction proof, in the inductive step, I have to multiply the whole left part for (n+1) and the same goes for the right part?
hm
there is no general rule for the inductive step
but you need to use your induction hypothesis yes
Im kinda confused then... cause the first tiem I was solving the exercise, what I wrote was
this
I was lucky that $(n+1)n!$ is equal to $(n +1)!$ otherwise I would have made it wrong u know? So I'm just trying to understand what should I write in these situations
Shlik Shlak Shluk
you say you're lucky but in reality the problem statements are made so you can actually prove things
so im not sure what you mean
I'll try to draw it just a moment
The last part
I'm asking whats the right way to solve the exercise
Since I think the last one is wrong
But that was the way I was trying to solve the exercise at first try
can you make any statement about n+3 and (n+2)(n+1)?
I can tell that (n+2)(n+1) is greater than n+3
then you just need to write that
Sorry I can't explain myself due to language barrier I think... what I mean is that the way I would have solved the exercise, is the second point aligned with "Wrong"... I understood that is wrong because I talked with you and because I tried to look for the solution on internet, so my question is... for every induction proof exercise that I'm going to do, in this case for the inequality n! > n+2, do I have to always use the first method "Right"?
Ok thank you.. btw I think I understood how to solve it, I'll send u a drawing rq
Do you think it makes sense this way mate?
@tepid patrol Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
you need to show that (n+1)(n+2) >= n+3
? Why is that? I'm not understanding the reasoning sorry :c
you should at least mention it
otherwise you would not have finished the induction step
I need to mention (n+1)(n+2) because is the inductive step right? But what about n+3?
you're supposed to show that (n+1)! > n+3
for that, you can say that (n+1)! > (n+1)(n+2) > n+3
but I think you need to justify the 2nd inequality
I understand why should I show that (n+1)! > (n+1)(n+2), since it can helps with proving the inductive step (n+1)n! > (n+2)(n+1) right? But what about n+3? I'm kinda confused about it
the induction hypothesis is n! > n+2
so you need to prove this with n <- n+1
that would be (n+1)! > (n+1) + 2
Why this?
in the inductive step, you suppose that n is an integer such that n! > n+2. You need to prove that (n+1)! > (n+1) + 2
it's like dominos
'if it's true for n, then it must be true for n+1"
you need to show that
Yes, I do agree and understand this
But I'm not understanding the point about n < - n+1
bloubbloub
Oh ok sorry, so you're saying that i have to prove the induction hypothesis n! > n+2 first with n -> n+1 right?
you need to prove it with n+1 yeah
Which I tried to do here, what did I do wrong?
Sorry, what I meant there was that n! > n + 2 \implies (n+1)n! > (n+2)(n+1) because n! > n+2 since we proved that in the base case, and what remains is (n+1) which is in the both sides, so we can "delete it"
I think its wrong since it's exactly what I just wrote... so it makes no sense.. sorry
I just understood it now.. but I'm really s tuck
Also it doesnt make sense cause I'm multiplying(n+1) for different numbers so I cant tell anything, sorry
$$n! > n + 2 \implies (n+1)n! > (n+2)(n+1)$$
and $$(n+2)(n+1) = (n+1) + (n+1)^2$$. \
Since $n \geq 3$, we know that $(n+1)^2 > 2$, so $(n+2)(n+1) > (n+1) + 2$
bloubbloub
Therefore $n! > n + 2 \implies (n+1)n! > (n+1) + 2$
bloubbloub
that's the induction step
Sorry if I'm taking a while to answer, I'm trying to make it "make sense" in my head
I'm not understanding why we're doing $(n +2)(n+1) > (n + 1) +2$
Shlik Shlak Shluk
If you have any video or note that I could read as advice it would also be nice
You been at it for 3hrs
$(n+1)n!=(n+1)!$, and we know that $(n+1)n!>(n+2)(n+1)$. Our inductive step is to show that $(n+1)!>(n+1)+2=n+3$. So we want to show that $(n+1)n!=(n+1)!>(n+2)(n+1)>n+3$ to prove our inductive step.
;(
How do we know that $(n+1)n! > (n+2)(n+1)?
Aren't we trying to prove it for the inductive step?
and by the principle of mathematical induction, the inequality n! > n+2 is true for all integers n≥3. I hope it's correct
Ty for all the clear notes mate I'm reading them slowly trying to catch the right points
everyone moves at their own pace
for the inductive step, you need to prove that (n+1)! > n+3, not (n+1)n!>(n+2)(n+1)
it is not the final goal itself, but a crucial intermediate step to get to that goal by using the definition of factorial
for this
Why in the second page are we trying to prove that $(k+1)! > n+3$ instead of trying to prove $(k+1)! > k^2 + 3k +2$ ?
Shlik Shlak Shluk
this
Why is it tho? I'm trying to understand the reasoning
because the inductive hypothesis is n! > n+2
you want to prove the induction hypothesis for n+1
Yea
the induction hypothesis for n+1 is "(n+1)! > n+3"
But if we multiply for n+1 we dont find n+3, am I wrong?
no you're not
Aren't we trying to prove:
Case base: that n ! > n + 2
and
Inductive step: that (n + 1)! > (n + 1)(n + 2)?
Okay wait.. maybe I understand your point
Since we know that (n + 1)! is 100% greater than (n+1) we want to make sure is greater than (n + 2) so that we can define it greater for both of them? 😭
At this point I dont understand anymore lol
gimme some minutes 🙂
Yes I agree with the base case
But isn't the inductive one n+1?
maybe I worded it wrong
base case: 3! > 3 + 2
inductive hypothesis: n! > n+2
inductive step: n! > n+2 \implies (n+1)! > (n+1) + 1
just another 5 minutes bro..
np, thank u man
Was just talking about it with him too
I’m not a man 😁
Mate* :)
Ty for the pdf my friend
I'm checking it now
oki thank u so much for the pdf
I think ur notes are enough, I'll just keep looking at them and studying them
Without keeping this channel longer
So that others can get help in the meanwhile
What do u think? :)
ok I’m not sure if you’re just being nice or honest, but yes you’re right! Best of luck 🫶🏻
Both lol
Its not 100 % clear but mate, you did a lot already and thank u to both of u for the patience, I just need more work into it @mystic saffron @summer wave

How do I solve the recurrence [ a_{n+1} = 1 + b_n\pi\lambda, \quad b_{n+1} = a_n\pi\lambda \text{ for } n>1, \quad a_0 = 1, b_0 = 0 ]
kheer257
here lambda is a constant
It comes from the second part of this question, where I assume the form of $y_n(x)$ to be $y_n(x) = a_n \sin(x) + b_n \cos(x)$ and get these recurrences
kheer257
I can get a second order recurrence in $a_n$, since $a_{n+2} = 1 + b_{n+1}\pi\lambda = 1 + \pi^2\lambda^2 a_n$

quick question, what exactly is the difference between (1) and (2)?
delta is the Dirac delta
(1) says that for all finite t, delta(t) is non-negative
(2) says that for all non-zero t, delta(t) is 0
wut
the first one is kind of useless
but I guess its because they want to use theorems that only work on positive functions using this
thanks!

do i have to differentiate all the answer choices to check?
Please try to learn more about the topic first. I see that you may need help but asking this much questions is not right. We can help about a topic to solve many questions but we can't help with solving them one by one.

For question 4), why is it wrong to pick an even number and then pick any number from the entire set i.e.
10C1 x 19C1 and then /2! for arrangements
,rccw
For example in question 3), I did 10C1 x 9C1 then /2! instead of their way
But I couldn’t apply it to 4
More specifically I did 10C1 to pick an initial even number and an even number times any integer is even so I can then choose from the remaining set which is 19 so 19C1 and then /2! for when the even is first or second
in 3) you could divide by the number of arrangements of 2 numbers because each possibility does appear twice (once in each order) whereas in 4) only some possibilities appear in both orders
I think I get what you mean but could you explain a bit more
Since we’re multiplying it shouldnt matter which number is pulled first or second right?
The textbook is wrong
yes, it shouldn't matter. but when we divide by 2! that would be to compensate for overcounting by having each possible ordering of pairs appear, e.g. we have both (2,4) and (4,2) in our setup
but (2,1) only appears once so it isn't overcounted
Ohhh
That makes sense
I think I found a mistake in the textbook but I wasnt sure
For case 4b when they do the ways for odd x even
10C1 x 10C1,
Did they not forget to account for arrangements by dividing by 2!?
So in case 4b theyre counting even x odd and odd x even as separate permutations
And if you divide by 2 for the 100 ways its 50 and then + 45 you get 95 total arrangements
Which is the same as 10C1 x 19C1 / 2!
but youre right that we also need to account for the case where it only appears once like (2,1)
accounting for arrangements is compensating for the fact that the same pair of numbers appears twice (once in each order). but in this case you can get (1,2) but can't get (2,1) so it isn't overcounted like that
since there aren't any numbers which are both odd and even we can't get any repetition
Ohh it just clicked
I understand
I was thinking that you could switch the set you pick from first like odd even or even odd but then that would be another case and we didnt account for that so its not doubled
thanks

I understand the it is a converging infinite sum . Having us finding area1 and r. I haven’t freshed up on circle geometry so I’m stuck in finding the needed distance so I can find the radius so I can find the area so I can plug and find r so I can find the area of the second circle.

Could someone teach me how to divide radicals from the basics to the rationalizing monomial square roots and conjugating binomial DoS
what is DoS?
Difference of squares
Let's clarify, you'd like to know how to change $a^2 - b^2$ into $(a+b)(a-b)$, am I correct? And another question is how to transform $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} $ into $\frac{\sqrt x}{x}$
This is sad 😢
@bold shard
Yes
Sorry for the wait!
no worries, are you ready for the explaination?
Ping me when you're back, then I'll begin with rationalization
Yeah
go ahead please!
Alright!
Cool
First of all, we have $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}}$, to rationalize this, we basically multiply the numerator and the denominator by $\sqrt{x+1}$. The result would be $\frac{\sqrt{x+1}}{x+1}$. Do you agree so far?
This is sad 😢
mhm
u sure?
Yeah
there will be some small quiz later
I’m with you
Alright
I’ll try
Can you do $\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{x+1}}$ for me?
This is sad 😢
You're so dilligent
,rotate
There we go, what's the result?
,rcw
that question mark is just $\sqrt{x+1}$
This is sad 😢
Yes but I don’t know what I should next
and yes, it cannot be simplified further
nope, that's all
oh
rationalization is basically removing sqrt from the denominator
The bottom the square root is gone
Sure
We've already done half of the task you mentioned
Alright
-
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}
] -
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{7}{2\sqrt{5}}
] -
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{3}{\sqrt[3]{4}}
] -
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}}
] -
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{2}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}}
] -
Rationalize the denominator:
[
\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}}
]
This is sad 😢
Ok
I just asked GPT for some sample questions cuz I'm too lazy to come up with some myself LOL. No worries, I'll verify your answers.
correct
14sqrt5/10?
Try again
Hm
The only question is if you multiply the radical, does that coefficient multiply with the radicand
you made a very smol mistake
Like the number in front of the sqrt? no
you just wanna rid sqrt out of the denominator, there's no need to disturb other residents there.
$\frac{7}{2\sqrt{5}}$
This is sad 😢
Look, all you need is to multiply both sides by sqrt5
you don't need to touch other numbers
What would rationalizing this equation look like
$\frac{7}{2\sqrt{5}} = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt 5}$
This is sad 😢
Aren’t you technically supposed to get rid of the radical tho
No, you are trying to Move it up
Okay

Please lemme know if you feel uncomfortable when I'm explaining, since my tone may come off rude
.
Not really
lmao
Why am I thinking so hard about the third one
I’m assuming you multiply the top by 1
And the bottom with cuberoot4
How would you know whether if you should bring the radical towards both the top and bottom
Hello
Or only bottom
keep in mind, the objective is to kick out every sqrt from the denominator
Do you do it twice
no, what did we do to $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$
This is sad 😢
Multiplied sqrt 2 to num and denom
This is sad 😢
what is index?
Ohh
Alright, lemme demonstrate
gimme a min to latex it
[
\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}
= \frac{1}{2^{\tfrac{1}{3}}}
= \frac{1 \cdot 2^{\tfrac{2}{3}}}{2^{\tfrac{1}{3}} \cdot 2^{\tfrac{2}{3}}}
= \frac{2^{\tfrac{2}{3}}}{2}
= \frac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{2}
]
This is sad 😢
Oof
bruh 😭
ya get it?
Is the fractions supposed to be there
which one?
All
yes
Where’d you get 1/3
you mean $\sqrt[3]{2}$?
This is sad 😢
$\sqrt[3]{2} = 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$
This is sad 😢
wdym
Like doing this?
no, I would get the answer myself
And I have church 😭
without this process
bruhhhh, go for it. don't waste your time on Math
Yea
I’m geeked rn so
tired
aight peace mate
