|a-b| is rational right
Hmm so a and b are rational pi -3 plus a where a<b?
like (a+b)/2 + pi / 4 * (b-a)/2 should work
you can kind of split the distance between a and b into an irrational chunk
But for that b-a has to be larger than pi-3
something like this
Ok
U have a and b
U need to show a irrational number between a and b exists
b>a
b-a * 4/10
Gives u a irrational number
Thats pretty smaller than the gap between a and b
No where in particular
I juat dont want a+ the other thing to exceed b
*pi my bad
Anyways just do what i said bro
.
This is a gud enough answer
Ok let me
For a<b
suppose WLOG a<b
set d = b-a
now
let's "scale" an irrational number to d
so let's set r = sqrt(2)/2 *d
now
a < a+r < b
and thus you have found it
actually, it is
i guess that statement was nonsense but
but basically since we had a distance
which is rational
we'll just turn it irrational and split it up
so notice sqrt(2)/2 * d + (1-sqrt(2)/2) * d = d
it absolutely does since
I assumed nothing about a and b other than the fact that they are rational
notice we have not lost generality because
if b > a then just set a=b and b=a
Take the larger number as h and the smaller as p and use pythagorean theorem boom!
this is a real analysis class right?

is this your first proof-based course?
gotcha
wait what class is it
ohhhh
got it
so because a and b are arbitrary rational numbers
it holds true for all cases
the distance between a and b is rational
so I used that to construct an irrational number
and simply added it to a
no, r = sqrt(2)/2 * d
and the irrational number we found is a+r
im showing you that a < a+r < b
ok visually, think of d as a stick
i split the stick into a piece that is sqrt(2)/2 the length of the stick
sqrt(2)/2 < 1
I just didn't want to type it out
lmao
they're just useful variables
it helped us find r
which is the irrational number i added to a
we used d to ensure that this irrational number a + r doesn't become bigger than b
the rest are left as exercises
yup
you wanna work thru the proof yourself
as in
what I told you
write it down and try to understand the proof

How do I solve Logx^3=-16, I want to understand how I get the x value, since my calculator only does base 10
Now if im not mistaken, I boot off the -16 to the other side right
And 3 becomes the power of x
NEONPerseus
Is it this?
Yes
It will become $x^3 = -16$
NEONPerseus
Although idk if you can have a negative number in the log at this point
Yes but how do I find X? Or im being stupid, and not realizing thats the end point
a bit dodgy for there to be a negative in the argument
tbf the math works
just cube root both sides
was this really the very original question, or did you make adjustments
THAT NEGATIVE, is like that little rock in your shoe
Maybe write it off as abuse of notation
Original question
In more simple way? This is my first year studying in english
Idk what u mean by cube
$\sqrt[3]{}$
Or abuse of notation
NEONPerseus
ah, but i would square root the 16 too right?
Cube root!
yes! 2 = square, 3= cune
Cube*
It will be -2.519
That should be correct for x right?
Question the x is the base right @pseudo scroll
Or its base 10
Well thats the question right
Yes
What do you mean by that?
the negative inside the logarithm
Well the end suppose to be
Logx^1=-2.519
negative numbers inside the log isn't well defined
NEONPerseus
Is this the answer?
ah! So, if I, put that number in place of x
I should get -16 right?
YUP! But its positive
Oh wait nvm
I forgot to add - to the first calculation
Thanks brother, I appreciate it a lot

HELP
2nd equation is just like 1st equation where left hand side is multiplied by -2
in other words it can be written as , 4x-8y=-16 (1st equation)
our 2nd equation is 4x-8y=a
hmm
yes
so if a=-16, its just the same line as previous right
that means every point of theirs intersect
since its the same line
if a=-16 it has infinitely many solutions
impossible to have one solution,
assume that a is not -16, then a is different then -16
it makes these two lines parallel because their slope is the same
parallel lines dont intersect, unless its the same line
same line case was where a was-16
ohh
slope of line is m=-a/b where equation of the line is ax+by+c=0
isolate the y, you would get y = (-c-ax)/b
so whats for one solution
well
no solution is IR - {-16}, i showed above
no
The set above means "any real number but -16"
its subset of real numbers that doesnt include -16
ty
You've probably seen it as ${a \in \bR | a≠-16}$
-16 but yeah same scenario
Umbraleviathan
There
ohh
tyty
wait
i have a new question
guysss
@wet wigeon @stray socket
hello?
you can draw a line that is perpendicular to x-axis to determine if its function or not, it should only cut 1 point for each x value
I mean ngl this is one where it's kinda ambiguous
yeah i cant tell if it intersects or not too
It kinda looks like $y = \sqrt[3]{-(x+1)}$
Umbraleviathan
prob
Its not showing
The full thing
The graph above is a function
Kinda looks like what you have
oh
yea
it does
also
btw
how do i determine if a equation is linear or not @wet wigeon @stray socket
Is it a line
or if it follows y= mx+b?
yeah
Pretty much
there are properties that linear functions satisfy too
f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b)
That too
f(ca)=cf(a) (c is a real number)
you dont need this if you are high schooler most likely
oohh alr
didnt say it but, a and b were variables
do you know how to graph
well if you know the domain
you would know the bounds of the equation
for 1-x, it says up there is that domain is (-inf,-2) and for 2x+3 it is [-2,inf)
plug the bounds domain into the function to find the range
domain's bounds of the func 1-x are -inf and -2 as you can see
if you plug -inf to 1-x, its just inf
plug in -2 to 1-x , you would get 3
so range is (3,inf) rigt
now find range of 2x+3 by pluggin its domain into the function
but how is that done
2x + 3 ---> 2.-2 + 3 = -1 ,
2x+3= 2inf+3 = inf
now take union of these ranges
range of 2x+3 where x>2 and x=2 is [-1,inf) from above (we include -1 because x can be 2 too)
union of these two ranges are (3,inf) U (-1,inf) which would give us (-1,inf)
you can see that domain is IR
in other words (-1,inf)
okay
inf is infinity btw if you didnt know
let me know if there is something that is not clear to understand
not the cleanest explanation
but kinda understandable
another question tho
@wet wigeon
what is it asking me to do
i dont understand what to solve
to find where these 2 lines have the same y value
you just let y1=y2 (y1 is equation of first line where y2 is equatino fo 2nd)
you are finding the intersection point
as you can see from the graph they intersect at one point
but how do i know
well graph isnt the best for 1st one
but for 2nd question you can clearly tell where they intersect right
yea
just solve the equations
find the x value
plug it in any of the equations
then you will get the y value
since equation of line is y=ax+b here clearly
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
you can understand this better by drawing
no
is it obvious that before the race starts you are also 40m away from the pond since t=0 during that
and you can see that your friend is 80m away
no
your friend closes in
what i quite didnt understand is that
after reaching the pond, does your friend end at where you started , or where THEY started
regardless of which you can find how fast you finish
since you started 40m apart, and have to run back after reaching pond
just let your equation be =40
you will get the answers t=0 (the moment you start) and the moment where you end which is t=80/3
for your friend i will assume they will end it where they started too
and say that is t=160/3
so you finished 80/3 seconds earlier
if your friend will end it where you started (which is most likely the case here)
then lets find |-5t+80|=40
you get t=40/5 and t=120/5 , higher one is where they would finish
and we can see that in this case your friend finished earlier since 120/5 > 80/3 yeah
to find the time they reach you
you would have to find at which point both of you are equally far from the pond
so just let |-3t+40|= |-5t+ 80|
and solve
do i solve for intersect or
yeah
yeah
only 1 is true but let me find out
you can actually plug in a value between 15 and 20
and see which one is further from the pond
okay
i believe its t=15 which is correct (turns out i was wrong)
because at point t=20 your friend is at the pond right
oh my bad your friend is at the pond at t=16
but you reach the pond at 40/13which is approx 13.33
oh nvm you reached the pond earlier
so its impossible for you and your friend to meet at t=15 because you are already returning and your friend is just barely about to make it to pond
they reach the pond at t=16
but at the time t=15 you both are equally far away from the pond
your friend catches up to you at t=20
s = number of small bags, l = number of large bags. -> s+l = 14 and 4s+8l = 80 -> solve.
choose the method you like
tyty
are you dropping here your homework and we should solve it for you? if not, tell what you have done and what is your question?
well i've stated the basic infos
$100 profit = x + 50profite y
300 = x + y
but idk
what to do next
this is why i kept asking cuz i do know the basic info but I just need that one push to get the answer
how much profit do you make when you sell x digital cameras and y cell phones?
exactly. the profit should be at least 300. write this as inequality
exactly. so you have written the inequality. next you should make a graph,
and then you should interpret two solutions, e.g. how many cameras you need to selll for 300 if you sell only cameras. then withncell phones
3
yes, and cell phones?
exactly. so you have everything done (if you drawed the graph)
wait
what does the 6 and 3 do
where do i put it anyway
i know i have 300 ≤ 100x + 50y
the last sentence was "identify and interpret two solutions of the inequality". ou have two solutions. Sell at least 3 cameras is enaough for 300 and sell at least 6 cell phones is enough for 300.
ohhh
but the actualy inequality is still this right
im supposed to graph this right?
yes. take x and y-axis (you need only positiv) mark (3/0) (= 3 cameras, 0 phones) and (0/6) = 0 cameras and 6 phones and draw a line beetween.'this two points. upper/right you are above 300
im a lil confused
Ohhh!
x axis = number of cameras, y-axis number of cell phones
what do you mean with "shaded area"?
above 300 means > 300, below 300 means < 300, and the line means = 300, so: yes
is it this?
like is the equation this and all done'
yes, i would say so

how
u ever had a moment
where u dont read the question properly
?
i just had that moment
happens
Looks like it to me 
Equivalent, scaled direction vector
kl
need some help for c plz
i tried a different method but
its completely wrong
Solution is?
why did my method not work
i basically did the parametric to cartesian way but backwards
how do u it the old way
Remember you can take any point on the line and have that as your "constant"
I'd do it the way you did, but as before, line [parametric] equations aren't unique (in particular any non-zero scaling of the direction vector and any point of the line will give you something valid)
Just because it looks different doesn't mean you're wrong
They probably chose to find some point on the line that looks nicer
wait so what did i do wrong
wait
ios my answer
correct?
so this is correct?
dang
E.g. if you had the line y=x, and you gave me something like 5y=5x, then I wouldn't say you were wrong, right?
depends
cuz if my uni is marking it
its wrong
Well your university is just weird and strange, whoever's responsible should go in the bin 
All of them
Like unless they imply or say "give this in simplest form" or something
im taking the piss
u really think i go oxford
lmao
🤣

my answer just looks
really diff to the mark scheme
getting doubts
Well yep it does, but remember I said that your direction vector and theirs are scaled
Your direction vector is fine, it just suffices to show that the you can get each position vector from the "opposite" line
,w solve {t - 2 = 0, t/3 + 1 = 5/3, t/2 - 2 = -1}
,w solve {6t = -2, 2t + 5/3 = 1, 3t - 1 = -2}
It doesn't matter, think of e.g. motorways
They may meet but their junction numbers aren't necessarily the same where they meet (nor their kilometerage)
[yes, GB motorways are measured in km, before someone @'s me]
lmao
But otherwise you get the concept right?
Each line has an equivalent direction vector
And also that above shows that the two lines have two points in common
#euclidspostulates
Look fine to me! 
got scalar product left to do
then im done with vectors
this kinda stuff
and angles
between lines
and whatnot
and orthogonal spaces
and whanot
Ah yeee fair fair
It's not too bad imo for the most part
how does this mean modulus i = modulus j = 1?
how does i dot j equal 0 then?
$\pmqty{1 \ 0} \cdot \pmqty{0 \ 1} = 1(0) + 0(1) = 0$

Correct?
no
my life would have been so easy if it was true
Common misconception
on what
here
what is the question
do you know anything about a and b?
generally u cant simplify this
only that the solution must be positive
ok thx i think its a prank because to this he has no solution
Correct?
and how did he got from root 18 to 3 root 2

Hello ? Please I need help with my maths assignment which is due on the 16th
Ask the question
sorry, we cant help with that, #rules
A laboratory technician has been asked to make up 2000mls of a 60% concentration of a solution using 80% and 20% solutions. How much of the 80% and how much of the 20% solutions are required
I don’t need help on all the questions lol I’m not very confident with maths but I do need help
If you use x mls of the 80%, solution, then how many mls of the 20% solution are you using?
Who says we can't help?
u say its not academically dishonest if u help him solve problems in his assignment?
We can't help on tests and exams. Homework and shit is fair game
Yh I really just need help with the questions I’m not as good at maths and understanding questions.
assignment=test with longer thinking time
but anyway
suppose u have half, and half what concentration do u get?
can you write an equation for that maybe?
So far I got 2000 (0.6) = x (0.8) + y (0.2) already when I done it out
yeah, and cuz u have 2 variables u need a second one too
Wrong channel
2000 (0.6) = x (0.8) + (2000 - x) (0.2)
That’s all I got then my brain completely went blank after
That’s how bad I am at maths
yeah, but u need to write it down, that x+y=2000, because they are poured in a container together
and this became a regular eqn, put all the x terms on one side and the others on the other side
do the multiplication
and move the numbers to the left side, and leave the x-terms on the right
(the note 🙂 )
Plug the x they gave you to solve for y
So the 20% ?
no, what is the value of x?
800 ?
no

how can i make 36=x² into x²=36 without making the numbers negative
then making it the square root
because
u cant find the square root of a negative number
and i cant give a negative number as an answer
if a=b then b=a
x^2 = 36 is the same as 36 = x^2
And are you saying that x can't be negative, or that x^2 can't be negative?
Proof:
36 = x^2
36-x^2 =0
-x^2 = -36 | •-1
x^2 = 36

how do i solve this shit
what have you tried so far?
can you show your attempts
ok
or type it in latex if you're good enough
u dont need logs
just need to arrange some exponents
write 12 as 3.4 and try to group up the 3
where do i put the (a+b) power when i rearrange
apply the relevant power (of a product) law
dont get it
you know that 12 = 3 * 4 right
yeah
apply that you would have something in the form
$$(p\cdot q)^n$$
on the right side of the equation
ℝamonov
and then distribute that exponent
Beepze
yes
no no
if a = -b so 2^((a+b)/b) should be 1 because this is 2^((a - a)/b) = 2^(0/b) = 2^0 = 1
the answer is 1/3
yep
u need to use this
ok
what did u get?
in the factor form
,texsp $3^{\left(a-b\right)}=\left(3\cdot4\right)^{\left(a+b\right)}$
SamuDoki
oh so its -2b?
(3^0 * 4)^a+b
ok now its 3^-2b = 2^2a+2b
a^b + a^c ?
nop
yeah i forgot
$\left(3^{-b}\right)^{2}=\left(2^{\left(a+b\right)}\right)^{2}$
SamuDoki
root removes square
- 1/-b
what did u get?
elevate -1 in both sides to take off this -(a+b)/b and have (a+b)/b
so it becomes 1/3 = 2^((a+b)/b)
omg thanks
thank you for being patient with me bro
ur the best

can anyone teach me 6th grade lvl math?
Hello, I worked out these 3 questions, so I'm unsure if it is right or wrong. Please help out if I made a mistake.
we only provide help for specific problems, you are too vague
oh
Head over to khan academy or similar websites if u want broad education on specific areas

,rotate
first thing you should do is plot your points on the graph
i don't see any that you did in the first place, so yes?
i have no idea, since they are erased and i cannot see them
@lean otter these points are correct if that's what you're asking
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
you only need a minimum of 2 points, but your teacher may require more. 3 is totally fine

is my mind fried or is this wrong? i keep getting it to 6/8
$a^2-2b^2=\left(-1\right)^2-2\cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^2$
SilverSoldier
yes but isn't this 6/8? 1- 2/8
how is it 2/8
(-1/4)^2=1/8 and it's multiplied by two giving 2/8
wait
my mind is actually fried
4*4 aint 8 XD ohh god
sorry and thank you

hi
i need help

so far there is no question
only an expression, and the way it's written is ambiguous as well.
y + square root of y -20 = 0
looks like a hidden quadratic to me
let y = x^2
work from there
@sand robin don't guess at what the problem says
that's not your job
it's the job of the person who wants help to provide the statement in full
I'm not guessing, I am positive that's what he meant and am trying to help
If I'm wrong he can correct me

y +√y -20
elaborate
expression
nvm then
can you talk in whole sentences and explain your problem
you were asked last time too
its just an expression
what exactly are you being asked to do with that
$y+\sqrt{y}-20$?
Zabbx
i need to find the solution of it wich is root y -4 and rooty -5
yes
we aren't telepaths. "find the solution of it" is incredibly vague. nobody knows what you're talking about.
take a pic of the problem from your textbook
16
so you want to solve $y+\sqrt{y}-20=0$?
Zabbx
were you being asked for the roots/zeroes
and/or are you oblivious to = 0
yes
like solution means when it cut y axis?
it does not
they asked how to solve it, not the solution itself
,w graph x + sqrt(x) - 20
it cut y axis on 16
its not graph!
it does have a root
you mean the x axis?
take a pic of the problem from your textbook
there is a lot of people here.
are you being asked for zeroes? roots? factorisation?
were you originally being presented with an equation?
can you post the original problem in its entirety with no modifications
i think the real problem is incommunicability.
nah
like if a equation is in terms of x then we find zero when it cut x axis
do we have to turn this y=f(x)
yeah
take a picture of where you got the question from
can you post the original problem in its entirety with no modifications
like what you want to ask
because there are potentially multiply things going on here
no textbook pic
no pic at all possible?
ye
type out the problem in its entirety with no modifications
include all instructions
don't omit or add words
i pasted the question exact same factorize: y+ root y -20
you failed to mention factorise in the post,
you just typed out an expression with no instructions
my brother in christ, I tried to save you last time
but you said yes when someone asked whether you wanted to solve an equation
so at that point we had no idea what you really wanted
solve or factorise?
so just to be clear, the original question and what you want is \
factorise
$$y + \sqrt{y} - 20$$
ℝamonov
😂😂finished
@marsh cloud ???
yea
note that y = sqrt(y) * sqrt(y)
ok
this is a quadratic expression in sqrt(y)
you can do a substitution like
x = sqrt(y)
to get something more recognisable
doing that substitution would get you
$$x^2 + x - 20$$
which looks less intimidating to factorise
ℝamonov
and then you can sub your sqrt(y) back in after you're done
um severe lack of parentheses there
what you've typed would be interpreted as
$$\sqrt{y} - 4\sqrt{y} + 5$$
ℝamonov
yes
which isn't right
k
and if you actually had that written on the page, it would be wrong
severe lack of parentheses there
ok
If you are still confused I could post the solutions
But I’m sure you can do it yourself
$(a+b)(c+d)$ a common factorised form is NOT the same as $a+bc+d$
ℝamonov
@sand robin i am not able to understand quadratic equations because i dont have them in my syllabus and i dont understand how did y become x^2
The method is called substitution
$x^2 + 3x + 2 \red\neq x + 1x + 2$
ℝamonov
never heard of it before
You don’t have quadratic equations in your syllabus?
yes i dont have them




is that how u spell not equal to
