Hi, can anyone help me with this question:
The 50th term of a sequence is 102 with a difference of 2. Find the first term.
Can you identify the type of sequence? Arithmetic or geometric?
@wraith spruce Has your question been resolved?
Arithmetic
Okay, do you know the formula for a general term in an arithmetic sequence?
tn= a + (n - 1) x d
a is the first term in the sequence, and d is the difference.
Yes
You know that t_50 = 102, and d = 2. Try to use those to construct an equation and solve for a
Ok thanks ☺️

Hi, I'm reviewing for a test and need some help understanding on some problem example.
First one is
do you have access to a list of exponent laws?
I know you have to multiply
too vague
but maybe the negative sign changes things
and doesnt answer my question
I can google it
that would be a good idea, you should probably already have one in your notes
the rules are vague to begin with anyway lol
not really
WHAT LOL
what rules are you looking at
what do you think is vague about them
when they stack rules
wdym
anyway
yes
anyway, which rule listed do you think would be most applicable to your question
i thnk the last one
I know this is the power of product rule..
🐓
power of product yes
You did 5*3 instead of 5^3
it did not look like you were applying the law properly and/or doing something else
and in your second attempt you did (5*3)^3
yeah looks like I'm not suppose to multiply the base
let me cube that
thanks for pointing that out
I'm still rusty

could sm1 help me
i dont know how to take the dervative of this function
using limit definition
$\sqrt{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Gijs
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} = \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
Gijs
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} = \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} = x^\frac{-1}{2}$
Gijs
we can use the dervative definition but
i wnat to get more used to the limit definition
but why
oh
yeah sure go for it
I just want to see how to do it both ways
okay
yeah we are allowed to use any way except if the question asks only using limit way
so thats why
yes with the limit of h going to 0
you can simplify
how so
just try stuff youll get there
oh
factor?
Gijs
might be helpul
conjucate ?
are u able to help?
That is very difficult to see
Yes, do that, and lmk what you're trying to do with it
Find f'(x) using the limit definition?
this is the original function and we are trying to get the dervative
using limit
yes
I see
i got to this part and idk what to do
Okay, so have you found f(x + h), f(x), and subtract one from the other?
yes
.
Here you'd rationalize the numerator by multiply by the conjugate
Ideally show all of your steps in one photo on a piece of paper - easier to keep track that way
Looks good so far, I think the (x + h) in the denominator should be under a √
what do from here
multiply it out?
Now you can let h go to 0, because you now have no 0 in the denominator
You can check your derivative by using derivative calculator (it'll be the first result that pops up when you google it)
Close, you have √x √x • (√x + √x) in the denominator
this is correct?
ok so 2rootx
x*2rootx
?
then 2xrootx
I think you missed a negative sign somewhere in there
The derivative of 1/sqrt(x) = ( -1 )/ (2 x^(3/2))
Well, you missed a - sign, probably before what you have
Start by writing down the initial problem and showing your work every step of the way

I did not understand how to solve these quastions
which first
Especially these cube problems, the part that I do not understand that which length I give d and which part of the cube I express
Maybe my problem is not math but english😄

A function f follows the dependence 3⋅y+5⋅x , and the results obtained are x=7±1, y=9±1. Calculate the error estimate Δf for f using the total differential or, if possible, the relative error. Round your answer to the nearest integer.
How would I go about solving this?
I tried to look up examples on the internet but didnt find much about estimating the error
Δx=Δy=1 right?
and we got the function 3 * y+5 * x
But what is the actual formula for estimating the error
This is for my lab prep practise
But we havent went over how to calculate the error (Im taking a thermodynamics course)

I’m struggling to understand why line 5 implies p divides 3 and line 7 implies q divides 2.
Original question
Line 5 is easy. Take modulo 3 on the equation, and you will get $$2p^3 = 0 \mod 3$$
In this case, consider three cases
(1) p = 3k + 0
(2) p = 3k + 1
(3) p = 3k + 2
You will find only (1) can satisfy our derived equation for p.
You mean modulo 2 or 3?
jimmy1234
Ohh should be mod 3.
Oh
Doesn’t that mean p is a multiple of 3?
Because if p is 1 then that doesn’t work
So p doesn’t divide 3 but rather a multiple of 3
Is this logic wrong?
Guess so(?) You can try put back $p = \pm 1$ into the equation, I guess it won’t work.
jimmy1234
Yeah but then the statement p|3 is wrong meaning p can be any multiple of 3 (but not multiple of 6)
When I tried plugging in p=6n+3 and q=6n+_2 into the equation, I got that it’s congruent to 0 mod 6
But this means
Idk
I meant to say plugging in p = 3 mod 6 and q=+-2 mod 6 into the thing
Ohh ok. From line 5, you can move terms around and single out 3. $$3 = \dfrac{-(p)(\cdots)}{q^3}$$
jimmy1234
Right
Since gcd of p and q is 1, we should have $p$ and $\dfrac{(\cdots)}{q}$ as two separate integers.
jimmy1234
And since $p$ clearly is a factor of 3, we can say $p$ divides 3.
jimmy1234
Sorry I’m not following from here
You see from this expression, $p$ and $q^3$ cannot have common factor. It just means $p$ alone forms a factor of 3.
jimmy1234
Why can’t $\frac{(…)}{p^3}$ form a factor of 3?
Pure
I should say, from $$3 = \dfrac{-(p)(\cdots)}{q^3}$$, by gcd-1 condition, $p$ and $\dfrac{(\cdots)}{q^3}$ both form an integer factor of 3.
jimmy1234
Yes
But in line 5, we only concern $p$, so we only make statement about $p$ there.
jimmy1234
Ah so p is either $\pm 1, or \pm 3$
Pure
Yes
Ah wait how would we know that $\frac{(…)}{q^3}$ is an integer?
Pure
Omg… Forget what i say…
Turns out I was over-complicating things. Just take modulo p on equation in line 5.
$$3q^3 = 0 \mod p$$
jimmy1234
Since we have gcd btw p and q = 1, we must have $$3 = 0 \mod p$$.
jimmy1234
That shd be way simpler that what i just try to deduce…..
Ahhhhh
That makes so much sense
Thanks @thick sparrow
Appreciate it.

how could i express that x is defined in every number that is bigger than 2 and smaller or equel 4?
using ℝ symbol instead of Dom
so it's between 2 and 4 ?
yes
With parantheses or what?
]2;4] ?
and the 4 isincluded
Or just use the >< thing
i am going to try to explain myself
please give more details about the function
2<x=<4, x in Real
ok one second i am going to show you
this is the function and i want to say that the first piece is defined everywhere as long as its bigger than 0
Poopy
using R symbole
sorry?
what?
1
Yo, dont disturb other
kek
where's the problem ?
less than 0
i whant to know how can i express that in the first piece of the function x is defined in every number as long as it's less than 0, yes sorry for that, using R symboel
NOT including 0
x^2 +2 will always give a real value for real value of x less than or equal to 0
yes, but is there a way to say it in a non textual way?
since on squaring a real number
like without words
you will get a real number
and adding an integer to it
will give another real number
well i don't know if there is
oh
You dont have to always use symbol in math
Communication is key, as long as its understandable
ask your teacher
i can't
your teacher must have a done a similar problem in class too right

Operations on functions
is the black dot supposed to denote multiplication?
Yes
then you did everything correctly, just dont forget to include that x can not be equal to -1/2
also terrible notation for product of functions imo
Ohh alright
true that looks like composition
it doesnt matter because people are going to mix them up, we are humans after all, so handwritings are not consistent
to deal with this, products are just denotes as (fg)(x)
Oh
also the exact reason why fg is never referred to as compositions
everything looks correct
no
sqrt(x²) is |x|, so it's |2x - 3|, they don't cancel
its not necessary to take the absolute value in every context
I turned (x^2-3x) into (x-3x)^2
it is
especially in the context where the argument is not strictly positive
This is correct right?

Why is the answer 5 instead of 7
He said largest number
It should be 7
(I hate epsilon and delta)
the wording is confusing
$\delta = 7$ gives $x \in (6,20)$, and $\delta = 5$ gives $x\in (8,18)$ While $x<20$ is a valid solution, any $x<8$ is not
KurtDee
What?
Where did u get (6,20)
And (8,18)
On what basis did u say that x<8
Is not a valid solution
$0<|x-13|< 7 \implies x \in (6,20)$
KurtDee
$8<x<20$ by your work

Hello this is a combination question. I am very lost on how I would solve this question. If anybody could help, thank you!
lets call E the set of students that can play an instrument
and E(instruments) the set of students that can play the given instruments
for example E({clarinet,guitar})
has 4 elements
yep
yeah
so do you know the formula for the cardinality of a union of sets?
yeah and if you have more than 2 sets?
the n(A u B u C) formula ?
hmm
What would the formula look like
I found this on the internet:
P (A U B U C U D) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) +P(D) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(A ∩ D)- P(B ∩ C) - P(B ∩ D) - P(C ∩ D) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ D) + P(A ∩ C ∩ D) + P(B ∩ C ∩ D) - P(A ∩ B ∩ C ∩ D)

Sub in
Oo
Now simplify the numerator and the denominator by doing the operations
No
Wait im wrong
Yeah, it's not C.
3(2) = 6, that is the numerator
6+3 = 9, that is the denominator
Yes
2/1
yeah, since any number that's divided by 1 is equal to the number that's being divided, it's just the same
now you can add it as a fraction
you need to use this method
which works with unlike denominators, in case the denominator was the same, you could just sum the numerator and be done with it
I'll call the first fraction as A and the second fraction as B
you multiply the numerator of A with the denominator of B
then the numerator of B with the denominator of A
after doing those multiplications, you write them down, as x+y
then you add the line which means fraction, and multiply the denominator of A with the denominator B and that's the denominator of your addition of fractions
no
...

Mine too, my first one is spanish
I could have explain it better tbh
I tend to over explain and in the end I make it more difficult to understand, my apologies.

How do I prove (3x+2)(3y+2) equals (3z+1) where x,y,and z are all integers
did you expand
I proved a similar problem cuz it was way easier
show (3x+1)(3y+2) = (3z+2)
expand and get 9xy + 6x + 3y +2 . factor 3 and get 3(3xy + 2x + y) + 2. which is in the form 3z+2, as 3xy + 2x + y is an integer. z = 3xy + 2x + y. Not completely sure if this is correct but I could at least attempt it unlike the first one
expand the first product, and try to rewrite it as 3 * something + 1
expand this
its like the same question man
the second problem i already have 2 but the first problem i have 4
issue is
you aren't considering 4 is 3+1
just be a bit more flexible and ur good
$(3x + 2)(3y + 2) = 9xy + 6x +6y + 4 = 3(3xy + 2x + 2y + 1) + 1$

n^2-number of blues
How?
There are n squared total number of tiles
I could also figure out the total
Yeah but it's more laborious
Aha, wait I think I'm not right with the total,
It would be something like
$$4\times\left(\sum_{k=0}^{s-2}2k+1\right)$$
Where $s$ is the step number
Brudimann
Oh that is really complicated
.
The total number of squares for figure number s is
(s+(s-1))^2 = (2s-1)^2

I know what u did but can I have a explation for why ^2 or how I supposed to think?
You know how x^2 is called x squared
@lean otter why did the room closed 😂
Yh
It's because it's the number of tiles in a square of side length x
And the side length of figure number s is
s+(s-1)
Whih you get by observing the pattern
Good
@lean otter thanks a lot, I was struggling with that question from yesterday and didn't get answer that make sense

Which websites do you all recommend for maths exercises for Calc A and functions and their inverse?
Considering, that I'm searching for websites that provide wide-ranging exercises with different ideas tho

if its x(2x^2 + 7x - 15)=0 you can just like cancel x right because the eqution is equal to 0??? i think? so it will be a quadratic equation
yes, you can cancel the x that's outside the brackets
oh ok thanks im just confirming tahny ou
don’t cancel

x=0 is one solution
hmm no im not finding x tho
finding the discriminant
uhh
of a cubic?
but tthis is ok right?
what’s the given equation
This is kinda dumb... you can just get the roots easily because it's already factored
how do you find the discriminant of a cubic?
But ig they want you to find the discriminant of the quadratic that you get when you divide the equation by x
uh what im confused
alr alr thank you
wait why wont i cancel tho
how will i get quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c if when i dont cancel x it will be uh yeah
Wait there's a thing called discriminant of a cubic
you get x= 0 and 2x^2+7x-15=0
don’t cancel
you’ll lose one solution
and you need to check the nature of it
ok ok
wait isnt like i dont need to find x because the question is just discriminant b^2 - 4ac ??

Do you know how to convert numbers in general?
yes like hexadecimal to binary and all others. the mac address is what i am confused about to convert
Here's a hint, Mac addresses are in hexadecimal
If you know how to convert from hexadecimal to other bases, you should be good
thanks man, i thought it was a different conversion/formula for mac addresses
im fucking dumb
The reason why this didn't work is probably the spaces in between. The question put spaces, for readability
Nope Mac addresses are in hexadecimal

how does one solve this simultaneous equation?
put x = y + 5 in equation 2 and substitute in all the value of x in equation 1
ah
you must get the value of y here and then you can find the value of x
like this?
that is also one of the options
the one I provided you should be easier
which value do i use though?
ah
i thought that was what you meant
how do i know which one of -2 or -3 is correct?
no sorry that was exactly what I meant
both of them are correct, put both the values simultaneously
in the equation
you will get two values for x too
Note - an equation can have more than two roots (solutions)
ah okay

any tips on how to show part b?
I'm guessing I have to show that this is cauchy since I have no numbers to work with
But I'm not sure how to start showing that this is cauchy
I guess it's like each iteration bisects the interval, so it would be like max distance from $a_n$ to $a$(the limit) would be like $\frac{1}{2^n}(a_2-a_1)$
Mirinim
or something like that but i'm not sure if that is the correct direction to go
@visual dust Has your question been resolved?
Show that's it's bounded I think
If a sequence is monotonic and bounded it is convergent. Do this for a_(2k) and a_(2k+1).
When a sequence is increasing and bounded it will converge to the supremum of it's elements.
When a sequence is decreasing and bounded it will converge to the infimum of it's elements.
If you show that both the sub-sequences converge to the same number, then a_n will also converge to that number.

I think it's 0, but because of the accuracy of the calculator's numerical algorithm, the display looks like this
yeah I calculated it by hand and got 0

How do I work this out?
have you solved linear equations before?
e.g. if I gave you something like,
solve (3x+5)/2 = 7 (for x)
would you be able to solve it?
is this correct?
yes
similar approach could be applied to your question,
note that although distributing would be legal,
it's more efficient to divide both sides by 6b
okay thanks
can you explain how?
ok got it thanks
No worries
I got another one
nvm I worked it out.
Okay I got another one
How do I work that out?
so -5ac(a+4b) = 3d?
what operation did you do to get that?
looks like you did very different things to the left and right sides
-5ac from both sides
well just subtract 5ac from both sides instead
@deft folio pinging since i've been gone for 23 minutes lol
idk how to do that
you have a+4b-5ac = 3d
you want to move the +4b over
a-5ac = 3d - 4b

why is (2x^3-x)/x^5 even and not odd
<@&286206848099549185>
can i get help
been an hour
What about it implies that it's odd?
f(x) = f(-x)
-f(x)
u plug in -1
u get -2x + x / -x
which is opposite
but u can factor out -1
so its even
but why do u factor out -1
Even means this, right?
It means, f(-1) = f(1), for example
Not f(-1) = 1
yes
Plug in 1 and -1, and you'll get the same thing, because it's even.
oooh ic
Idk exactly what the problem stated, but that's not really enough to prove that it's even, because that has to work for every number on the domain
in order for it to be an even function

@sturdy spindle Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
If the format varies from textbook to textbook then I'd also like to know if that's the case
it is a 1x3 matrix
one line
3 columns
so the transpose of it will be 3x1 yes?
yea

I know this isnt a great place for this but I need a lot of help with a bunch of random chem questions on reactions
I can't find a good place to ask people this and math servers are filled with a lot more ppl that could help me so I want to try to ask here
What's are some examples of weak electrolytes and strong electrolytes and what's the difference
what differs the structure of ionic and covalent bonds
ionic bonds evolve electrostatic attraction between the electron, covalent bonds do not

I dont know, im not a chemistry enjoyer
yep
I doubt ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds
Because in covalent bonds the atoms are physically sharing the electrons
Actually, from google
Ionic bond is much stronger than covalent bond because it involves complete transfer of electrons because of which there is formation of cation and anion and there exist huge electrostatic forces of attraction.
Shit
Oh god, google is giving me mixed info
waat
Ionic bonds are usually stronger than covalent bonds. A defining characteristic of ionic bonds is that an electron from one atom is "taken" by another atom, whereas in covalent bonds, the electron is shared between the two atoms.
i mean id love to show my chemistry teacher a bunch of physics and mixed research on bonds and make his head spin as much as mine XD
quantum mechanics
how do u do that quote thing
did you get answer?
i dunno honestly
hmm
videos are somewhat long and show me covalent metallic and ionic
and molecular solids
well in strong electrolytes the solvent is more ionic in nature
yeah i did those ya
while in weak it has more covalent character
-understanding strong/weak/non electrolytes
Strong electrolytes:Strong electrolyte conducts electricity well.
- Ionize completely
strong acids include strong acids, strong bases, and ionic compounds that are soluble.Weak electrolytes:
Weak electrolytes conducts electricity slightly but to a small extent.
- Don’t ionize entirely. Only slightly
insoluble compounds, insoluble ionic compound, weak acid, weak base.
it isn’t black and white thing
like if you study more, you’ll see covalent character is dependent on %s character of a molecule in a hybrid orbital
and more the ionic more it is stable
it all revolves around thermodynamics
uhh do you get what i said?
well you don’t need to know it yet, uhh idk how to put it but remember thermodynamics answers many factors chemistry
are acids like aqueious
or can they be solid or and stuff im kinda confused on like
explaining how they break apart for net ionic equations
when we say acid, we generally consider them as a solution
same with base
because in solids they don’t react, as you mentioned
also it should be a solution, and not liquid state
ok ima just copy and paste this cuz this is my notes im working on
o its too long .-.
-understanding ionic solids vs covalent solids (structure)
ionic bonds evolve electrostatic attraction between the electron, covalent bonds do not
-solubility of an ionic solid ionizing and breaking apart vs covalent solid
-Reaction Types, predicting the products of: SR, DR, Synthesis, Decomp, Acid Base (strong acids only)
-Writing Net Ionic reactions (aq) for double rep. rxns
-like dissolves like and Polar vs. Nonpolar ie: why water won’t dissolve oil etc.
Aqueous
-understanding when DR reactions form a precipitate (solid) ppt.
-hydration and the arrangement of water and cations and anions
CONCENTRATION (AKA) MOLARITY
-given grams and liters, find the molarity (concentration)
Apply formula:
-given a stock solution find the molarity of a diluted solution
Molarity (Stock) times Volume(stock) = Molarity (Diluted) times Volume (Diluted)
Molarity (Stock) times Volume(stock) divided by Volume (Diluted) = Molarity (Diluted)
-given a balanced reaction, use molarity and volume to find the moles, then use the mole ratio and stoich to solve for how much product was produced (we will review this before your test)
Molarity times volume of solute = moles.
-strong acids and bases
Strong acids:
HCl, HBr, HI-, HNO3, HCl4, H2SO4
Strong Bases: (hydroxides)
NaOH, KOH, MG(OH)2, Ca(OH)2
-oxidation states/charges given a reaction indicate the charge of each element in the reaction
i thought it was about ionic and covalent bonds tho, why there is mineral chemistry here
