Hi!

safe radishBOT
limpid salmon
#

I've done this limit

#

but the result isn't correct, I can't understand why

#

P.S. I can't use De L'Hopital Rule because the exercise doesn't provide it.

#

I can only use the "variable changing method"

gloomy scaffold
#

Use binomial expansion

#

You can do it within 3-4 lines myb

limpid salmon
gloomy scaffold
limpid salmon
#

the book wants me to do a variable changing

gloomy scaffold
#

,w expand (3x-1)^(3/2)

flat frigateBOT
limpid salmon
#

I'm in 5th class of High School, we didn't do all this monster-like expansion ahahahah

#

Is there any easier method to solve it?

radiant crypt
#

try writing it in the form
$(1+\frac{1}{f(x)})^{f(x)}$

@limpid salmon Has your question been resolved?

gloomy scaffold
limpid salmon
#

but it doesn't work my procedure

#

I HAVE UNDERSTOOD!

#

The notable limit is

(x + 1/x)^x

and not

(x - 1/x)^x

So the variable changing is z = -y/3

Like last time, just posting the question doesn't tell us how to help you
please tell us where exactly you are stuck

i have found the consecutive numbers but i dont understand how to do the number but wht does it mean by double the smller number and add it to the larger number

Atm i have trigonometric functions like basic part when it is f(x) =asin/cos(b(xc) d and know how to do an curve discussion and get the point where it crosses x but now we need to get the point of x for funcctions like cos(..) =sin(x) and idk how to get or do an discussion. I would just do arcsin/cos and try to replace the x one with other variables and try to somehow get it

ruby relic
#

sin(2/9)=sin(x*pi)
0<x<1; x≠2/9 is a task

quasi bison
#

did you mean sin(2/9) or sin(2pi/9)?

#

you might be interested in knowing that sin(t) = sin(pi-t) at any rate

ruby relic
#

I just send. Pic

#

Its the task at the top

quasi bison
#

what language are you translating from?

ruby relic
#

German

quasi bison
#

also yeah that is sin(2pi/9) not just sin(2/9)

#

you might be interested in knowing that sin(t) = sin(pi-t)

ruby relic
#

Ok

#

But i still dont know how to get the point on x axis

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

<@&286206848099549185>

sick zephyr
#

it says that sin(2π/9)=sin(xπ)

#

okay

sick zephyr
#

lets convert that pi things to numbers so it looks better

#

it works like sin(40)=sin(180-40)

#

so we can find that xπ=140

#

x=140/180=7/9

#

as you can see here

#

ofc its on unit circle

#

this may help you convert

safe radishBOT
#

@ruby relic Has your question been resolved?

ruby relic
#

@sick zephyr and how do i get to sin(40) etc

ok it's simple

#

let's take the first row of matrix A

#

we're expanding

ember sphinx
#

Yea i did it

#

I got -1 toob

#

but like i swear

#

them numbers

#

came outta no where

charred crest
#

do u understand what i did?

#

or should i explain

ember sphinx
#

OHHHH

#

OHHH

#

HE DID IT with the columns

#

i always do it withs the rows

#

so its like (1 3
2 1)

#

and (2 3

like this ?

Thats how my teacher does it

#

i go along the rows

#

idk why he did it this way

shut inlet

stiff vortex
#

How do i make a the subject?

safe radishBOT
thin bridge
#

what have you tried so far?

stiff vortex
#

Nothing, I am confused

thin bridge
#

let's consider something simpler like
$$\frac 1x = 7$$
would you be able to solve this for $x$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℝamonov

stiff vortex
#

Is it x=7?

thin bridge
#

no

#

are you implying that $\frac17$ is the same as 7?

flat frigateBOT
#

ℝamonov

stiff vortex
#

No

thin bridge
#

because that's what you're saying with

Is it x=7?

stiff vortex
#

Yea

#

But even that i am confused

thin bridge
#

try solving again

#

note one of the basics of algebraic manipulation is applying the same operation to both sides of the equation

stiff vortex
#

1/7=x?

safe radishBOT
#

@stiff vortex Has your question been resolved?

placid kelp

ohh

placid kelp
# stiff vortex How do i make a the subject?

this is a weird wording tbh. i would phrase it as "solve this equation for a" or "find a formula for a". which i'm like... 90% sure that's what it's asking lol. i dunno if i've ever seen it phrased as "making it the subject of a formula"

If each time you press a button you have a 1.5/100 chance to get money and you press the button 100 times what is the chance that you get money atleast once?

wind agate
#

The chance that you don't get money is (100-1.5)/100 each time

#

What would it be a 100 times?

#

comparing coefficients polynomials

safe radishBOT
vital kayak
#

i don't understand this

#

can someone explain it to me

quasi bison
#

Q1 or Ex 1?

vital kayak
#

both

#

ex 1 i think has to do with question 1

#

i did question 1 but using the synthethic division, idk if it's how i was ment to do it

#

this is how i go t the answer, not sure if that's how it was ment to be worked out

#

if you could explain ex1 and maybe after how to use it to work out Q1 i would relly like that 😄

#

rn im watching a video on equating coefficients to get to know what it means exactly

#

ok i've understood comparing coefficients, i'm not sure how to use it tho

#

since i dont have something is equal to something else

quasi bison
#

are you familiar with the concept of degree of a polynomial?

vital kayak
#

im not sure

#

is it x^2

#

in this equation

#

since it's the highest power

vital kayak
quasi bison
#

if you feel like you would benefit from watching a video then watch a video

#

i'll be going to sleep then

vital kayak
#

no

#

if u coudl help me that would mean a lot

#

i just don't want to be of a nuisance since i don't know what it means

#

🙏 pls

quasi bison
#

the degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent appearing on x when you expand it fully

#

for example, deg(5x^11 + 6x^3 - 55x + 90) = 11

vital kayak
#

ok

#

so the highest power kind of ?

#

when it has to do with x

quasi bison
#

if you are unable to conceptualize it without reducing it to a two word shorthand...

vital kayak
#

ok sorry yes i understand

quasi bison
#

anyway, polynomials of certain low degrees have special names

#

polynomials of degree 0 are called constant, those of degree 1 are called linear, those of degree 2 are called quadratic, and so on.

vital kayak
#

alright

quasi bison
#

well, ok, the next ones you may see are quartic for 4 and quintic for 5 and rarely beyond that.

#

anyway

vital kayak
#

and to the power of 3 i would asume are cubic

#

i understand

quasi bison
#

why assume sully

#

i literally said polynomials of degree 3 are called cubic. why do you need to 'assume' that?

vital kayak
#

sorry i didnt mean to say it like that

quasi bison
#

anyway... the degree function has some nice properties.

of particular interest to us is the property that for any two polynomials P and Q, you have deg(P*Q) = deg(P) + deg(Q).

vital kayak
#

alright

#

i understand that

quasi bison
#

given this, now turn to ex 1

#

you are told (x+1) g(x) = f(x), and that f(x) is cubic

#

find the degree of g(x)

vital kayak
#

x+1 is degree 1

#

g(x) has a degree of 2

#

am i mistaken ?

quasi bison
#

no, you are not mistaken.

#

strange way of asking that question tho

vital kayak
#

i have a question that might sound dumb

#

can i ask ?

#

if the degree is 0

#

so theres only a constant

#

that's not considered a polynomial right ?

quasi bison
#

did your teacher issue a decree to that effect?

vital kayak
#

sry

quasi bison
#

better to ask a dumb question than act squeamish about it.

vital kayak
#

ok 💪

#

so now how do i apply it to Q1

quasi bison
#

anyway, no, unless your teacher explicitly tells you that anyone who considers constants to be polynomials will be punished by instant failure of their entire academic year,

there's no reason to exclude constants from being polynomials

vital kayak
#

alright

quasi bison
#

now you know (x-3) is a factor of x^3 - 4x^2 + x + 6

vital kayak
#

yeah

quasi bison
#

this means you know that x^3-4x^2+x+6 is the product of x-3 and a quadratic

vital kayak
#

yeah

quasi bison
#

(x-3)(Ax^2+Bx+C) = x^3 - 4x^2 + x + 6

#

expand LHS, compare coefficients, solve for A, B and C

vital kayak
#

alright im going to work it out on a piece of paper and send a picture here

#

at this point what do i do ?

#

do i input my values of a,b and c to find x ?

#

input them in here (Ax^2+Bx+C)

#

so i have the other factor

vital kayak
#

then i use quadratic formula to open it more and i get the answer the teacher gave me

#

i can't factor it.

#

i think i made a mistake.

#

ah i have foudn it

#

its in comparing coeffs of x^2

#

yep i got the right answers

#

thank you ann

vale onyx
#

horizontal stretch is whenever it's less than 1

vale onyx
#

so would this be √1/2x?

#

im kind of lost here

frozen summit
#

horizontally stretched means the graph will look like you stretched it by a factor 2

#

,w plot log(x) and log(2x)

vale onyx
#

ohh wait

#

am i thinking of a compression

#

when i put 1/2

frozen summit
#

For instance the blue plot is the red plot horizontally streched by a factor 2

vale onyx
#

less than 1

frozen summit
#

no you are right haha

vale onyx
#

these are the two things i mix up a lot i really need to memorize them

frozen summit
#

No

#

You are wrong

#

wait

#

I'm mixing things up now lol

#

think of it as "reparametrizing" the x axis as a "z"-axis.
Before we have x, now we have z=2x for instance. When x=1, z=2x=2 so it is indeed "further away". To stretch horizontally by a factor 2 replace all x you see by 2x

vale onyx
#

i see now

frozen summit
#

Harder example:
$x^2+4x+6$ then replace x by 2x gives $(2x)^2+4(2x)+6=4x^2+8x+6$

vale onyx
#

im graphing it in desmos

flat frigateBOT
#

SkyTwX

frozen summit
#

Let's see if what I'm saying makes sense using wolfram

#

,w plot x^2+4x+6 and 4x^2+8x+6

frozen summit
#

mmmh YEAH not convincing XD

vale onyx
#

so essentially all you really do is put 2 in front of the x

#

under the square root

#

i did the square root of x and replaced numbers in front of it

frozen summit
#

yesss!

vale onyx
#

gradually getting higher

frozen summit
#

no

vale onyx
#

yeah i dont know i mixed that up horrendously lol

frozen summit
#

INSIDE of it

vale onyx
#

yeah

#

under the square root

frozen summit
#

,w plot sqrt(x) and sqrt(2x)

vale onyx
#

yeah

#

thats how i did it

frozen summit
#

Nice

vale onyx
#

maybe i typed it weird

frozen summit
#

no no I'm just tired, sorry haha

vale onyx
#

its alright lol same ehre

#

How would I find the domain of these functions?

final halo
#

how did you arrive at the light blue at the end of your first pic

fickle trail
#

Oops that should say sqrt of -1/3

#

That tells me no asymptote exists?

final halo
#

yes the denominator is never 0

fickle trail
#

Interesting.,

#

Alright so (-inf, Inf) for the first one

final halo
#

second one all you need is for the stuff inside the square root to be bigger than or equal to zero

fickle trail
#

2x

#

The domain for both is (-Inf, Inf) but I’m not sure why for the second one

#

A variable squared inside of sqrt can never be negative?

final halo
#

who is saying the domain for the second one is (-inf,inf)?

fickle trail
final halo
#

?

plucky elk
final halo
#

first pic i assume

fickle trail
#

Sorry was afk

#

Back now.. alright I understand sorry

fickle trail
# fickle trail

It’s this one that I don’t understand how to find the domain

final halo
#

well this is a completely different problem now

fickle trail
#

On the right track or no?

final halo
#

i mean there really isnt anything to do

fickle trail
final halo
#

im not sure what it is you're trying to do that you think will magically make you realise what the domain is

plucky elk
fickle trail
final halo
#

so you think the domain of something like x-1 would not be all real numbers because there a subtration?

fickle trail
#

And because x is odd power

final halo
#

or that the domain of x^3 is not all real numbers because it has an odd power?

fickle trail
#

Yeah

#

Im confused with domain for this

final halo
#

if you think the domain of x-1 is NOT all real numbers, which numbers are excluded from the domain of x-1?

fickle trail
final halo
#

?

#

why are you just sending random pics

fickle trail
#

Confuses me

final halo
#

WHAT domain?

fickle trail
#

Lol

final halo
#

why are we jumping questions here?

plucky elk
fickle trail
#

Well, maybe I phrased it wrong

plucky elk
#

feel free to use words such as "okay i got that one. here's my next problem"

#

words good

fickle trail
#

When there is a variable with even power and even root

final halo
#

come on avid you're better than that middle one

fickle trail
#

Does it always become absolute value?

final halo
#

you know thats not how square roots work

plucky elk
#

$(a+b)^n \neq a^n + b^n$

flat frigateBOT
#

riemann

fickle trail
#

My bad..

#

Ignore middle example

#

I think first one is correct but not sure about second

#

Absolute for entire result? Or x only

final halo
#

if you're asking whether $\sqrt{x^2} = |x|$ is true, then yes it is

flat frigateBOT
final halo
flat frigateBOT
fickle trail
#

Yeah

#

But x becomes |x|?

#

Or it doesn’t need absolute value

#

In the 2x case

final halo
#

if you're still asking that question, then im not sure what your "yeah" was in relation to

fickle trail
final halo
fickle trail
final halo
#

yes

Problem: Factor and simplify the expression. (Type exponential notation with positive exponents)

peak tendon
#

The original expression is beside the bubbled 1.

final halo
#

is your question "i did this, is it correct?", or "ive seen that this is true but i dont know why"

peak tendon
final halo
#

why did your 3 end up on the bottom?

peak tendon
#

Is it only the x that is supposed to be on the bottom and keep the 3 up top?

#

In the lecture we never went over any problems exactly like this so I wasn't sure, I was just following the steps I was told to

final halo
#

yeah, its 3*(stuff)

#

no matter what happens in (stuff)

peak tendon
#

I see, why is it that way instead of how I wrote it may I ask?

final halo
#

well there is just no reason why the 3 should appear on the bottom

#

things with negative powers can be "moved to the bottom" and the power changed sign

#

the 3 had no negative power

peak tendon
#

ah I see, its the x that had the negative power so only that should be on the bottom

#

thank you so much

final halo
#

yep you got it, no worries

Let the consecutive angles be AOB, BOC and COD, such that the largest of them is the angle AOB and the smallest is the angle COD. If m<AOB - m<COD = 28⁰, the measure of the angle formed by the bisectors of the angles AOD and BOC is:

cerulean basin
#

This problem is driving me crazyyy

final halo
#

maybe you should stop ignoring people that are telling/asking you to draw a picture

cerulean basin
#

I've sent a picture already and everyone is ignoring.

final halo
#

people aren't ignoring you on purpose, they either dont know or maybe are thinking

cerulean basin
#

I have not any other data, I don't know if it's even solvable. blobsweat

#

The answers could be:

A) 10⁰
B) 15⁰
C) 20⁰
D) 12⁰
E) 14⁰

#

I drew it again.

#

<AOB - <COD = 28⁰

I need to find the angle in thenmiddle of the AOD and BOC bisectors.

tepid hinge
#

I need help

safe radishBOT
tepid hinge
#

Serious help

#

6t(t+4)=t-20

#

This question sounds dumb but I can't factor with elimination method the one I know

#

And I can't factor

#

Am stuck at the factoring

trim swan
#

What have you done so far?

tepid hinge
#

I got to 6t^2 +15t+8t+20=0

#

I can't factor that the way I know

#

Where you get 6t then 15 divided by 6

pastel briar
#

Well 6t*4 should give you 24t and 15t+8t = 23t

tepid hinge
pastel briar
#

You mean 6t*4 I hope?

misty bay
#

$6t(t+4) = 6t^2 + 24t$

flat frigateBOT
#

Saccharine

tepid hinge
tepid hinge
misty bay
#

hi

pastel briar
#

Yes multiplication

tepid hinge
tepid hinge
#

Because 15 + 8 is 23 and the multiplication of both gives me 120

#

120 is from the multiplication of 20 and 6

lean otter
#

try breaking up the 6t^2 to help find your factors

#

should have the form:

#

$(3t+a)(2t+b)$

flat frigateBOT
#

Stelonis

lean otter
#

where a and b are the other factors

tepid hinge
#

The thing is with a and B I will send a pic of how I do this

#

I can't go any further

#

If I divide 20 by 8 I get 2.5

tepid hinge
#

I believe I am using factoring by grouping

misty bay
#

honestly I probably would do a terrible job of explaining that

#

the most intuitive methods for me involve polynomial root-finding

#

factoring by grouping is basically making educated guesses and I don't really know how to explain the intuition behind those guesses

tepid hinge
mortal sandal
#

if its too hard to factor you could always use the quadratic formula to find the roots

#

2t+5 is a factor though

#

so you just need to find the other one

tepid hinge
#

I can't work with 8 and 20 I will check out that formula

mortal sandal
#

if you know completing the square that could work too

#

but grouping like (6t^2 + 15t) + (8t + 20)

#

what's the biggest common factor of 6t^2 and 15t that we can factor out

tepid hinge
mortal sandal
#

you tried completing the square?

tepid hinge
mortal sandal
#

ah i see

#

thats different then what i was talking about

misty bay
#

that is actually a legitimate way of completing the square is it not

#

well not exactly that way

#

but drawing the square

mortal sandal
#

the top two squares work but the bottom two dont

mortal sandal
#

or idk

#

unless you want to start with tsqrt(6) + ... on each side

tepid hinge
mortal sandal
#

we can go back to the grouping part if that makes sense

#

like $(6t^2 + 15t) + (8t + 20)$

tepid hinge
#

yes

flat frigateBOT
#

monikanicity

tepid hinge
#

the problem is when am solving for 8 and 20

misty bay
#

well you're stuck with 20 because it's already given

#

your only choice is in splitting the 23t into parts

tepid hinge
#

o alr

misty bay
#

yeah you basically have to pick where you want to split the middle

tepid hinge
#

how would that work?

#

I got 15t and 8t

tepid hinge
flat frigateBOT
#

(Living in College) GIO9011

mortal sandal
#

yes

tepid hinge
flat frigateBOT
#

(Living in College) GIO9011

mortal sandal
#

good

tepid hinge
mortal sandal
#

you have to factor each part like that

tepid hinge
#

oohh I see

#

what do I do with the gcf that I factored out?

mortal sandal
#

Use it to rewrite the polynomial

#

so rewrite what you already have but with the gcf factored out

tepid hinge
#

alr I will see

#

$3t(2t+5)+4(2t+5)$

flat frigateBOT
#

(Living in College) GIO9011

mortal sandal
#

yeah good

tepid hinge
#

$(2t+5)(3t+4)$

flat frigateBOT
#

(Living in College) GIO9011

tepid hinge
#

I see now

mortal sandal
#

ye

tepid hinge
#

thank you all for the help

mortal sandal
#

no problem

tepid hinge

Yes

#

Yes

#

Okay 1 moment

#

correct

#

ive done that

#

okay

#

just a little confused, when you say get sin 62, are you asking me to input that into the calculator?

#

okay, i see

spiral crescent
safe radishBOT
spiral crescent
#

why does this happen

low canyon
#

Because why not?

spiral crescent
low canyon
#

You can condition on the first throw

#

@spiral crescent

#

Use the total probability rule

spiral crescent
spiral crescent
low canyon
#

I mean that if $\left{F_1, \ldots, F_n\right}$ is a partition, then \begin{align*}
P(E) = \sum_{i=1}^n P(E \mid F_i)P(F_i)
\end{align*}

flat frigateBOT
#

Fέliχ

low canyon
#

Use an adequate partition on the very first throw

#

(Heads, Tails)

buoyant shadow
#

i think of it as last throw instead

low canyon
#

This is not a good idea

spiral crescent
#

Whats a partition

buoyant shadow
#

wow rude

spiral crescent
#

💀

low canyon
#

A partition of a set are disjoints subsets for which their reunion gives the whole set

buoyant shadow
#

being challenged is perceived as rude, what do you mean

low canyon
#

Basically, a partition here are the two events {The first throw is heads} and {The first throw is tails}

spiral crescent
low canyon
#

Their union

spiral crescent
#

But if they are disjoint subsets

#

Wouldnt their union and sum be the same

low canyon
#

You cannot sum sets

#

Union is kind of a sum for sets already

spiral crescent
low canyon
#

Because for anything that can happen in the random experiment (throwing a fair coin n times)

#

Exactly one of these two events ( {The first throw is heads} {The first throw is tails} )

#

Will happen

spiral crescent
#

And the next time we use partition on the first two throws?

low canyon
#

No, this will be sufficient

#

The idea is the following:

#

IF you get heads on the first throw, then you have to get tails on the 2nd throw

#

And after that, it refreshes everything as you got a tails, so it's kind of like if you restart the whole experience with n-2 throws instead

#

IF INSTEAD you get tails on the first throw, then good news, it's like refreshing the whole experience but with n-1 throws instead

#

Maybe I should have started explaining that way

#

This is why you use the total probability rule

#

To condition on the first throw

spiral crescent
#

Why does only tails refresh the experience

low canyon
#

Because if you get tails, the whole heads count restart to 0 (in order to get 2 consecutive heads)

#

So if you get tails on the first throw

#

it's like if you restart everything

spiral crescent
#

🤔 hm

low canyon
#

but with one throw less

spiral crescent
#

This was def not taught, but tbf you didnt have to actually know all this to solve this

low canyon
#

You do

spiral crescent
#

No no the question was a statement and reasoning type

low canyon
#

You do need to use the total probability rule to get that equation

#

Trust me on that, no doubt

#

I could bet you 1 million$ on that

#

Any other possible ways will have that common point

#

And I don't see another possible way anyway

spiral crescent
#

I just had to find p2,p3,p4 and for that i dont really need a general expression

low canyon
#

But where did that expression come from then?

spiral crescent
#

But the solution key did it this way so i wanted to know how

low canyon
#

Ok, I understand better now

#

This is from the total probability rule

spiral crescent
#

Yep thanks i get it now

Hi im just a bit perplexed on how thee lines follow:

lean otter
#

log11(2x^2+7x-4)=1

#

11^1=2x^2+7x-4

#

if both sides have been multiplied by (2x^2+7x-4) i understand how you would get

#

logbase11(?)=(2x^2+7x-4)

#

just a bit confused where 11^1 is from

peak estuary

remember the definition of log

#

log_a(b)=c means what?

11^(2x^2+7x-4)=b?

can you express v_n as term in n?

glossy rover
#

that is to say? express Vn+1 as vn?

young nexus
#

no, not recursive.

glossy rover
#

I have neither the first term of the sequence, nor the expression Vn, I have to determine it thanks to Vn+1 which is geometric?

#

OH I CAN

#

I have the reason

#

That is 3/2

#

V_n= (3/2)^(n-p)*v_p

young nexus
#

set p=0

glossy rover
#

I Can Do it ?

young nexus
#

just do it

glossy rover
#

i thought i couldn't

#

Ok

#

So

#

V_n=((3/2)^n)*(v_0)

young nexus
#

exactly, for easier writin, say v_0 = s and q = 3/2

glossy rover
#

Okay i know now

#

Thanks for help

i think i went too ahead

#

im first year of math degree

i mean the questions i asked, what grade would u say its for

#

or like age

Ax = kx
(A - kI)x = 0

#

Then you solve this equation for each eigenvalue k

#

This is just an equation in the form Bx = 0 (where B is known)

kind hamlet
#

what is kI?

broken yew
#

kI

#

I being identity matrix

#

You start with Ax = kx

#

Ax - kx= 0

#

then notice kx is also (kI)x

kind hamlet
#

oh

#

is x an eigenvalue?

#

so in my case i found 3

broken yew
#

no, x is a vector

#

?

kind hamlet
#

oh

broken yew
#

you're familiar with what I wrote or not

#

Ax = kx

#

This as the definition of eigenvector and eigenvalue

kind hamlet
#

Yes in the case of eigenvalue

broken yew
#

well no, they're both defined in the same equation

kind hamlet
#

oh

broken yew
#

for a constant matrix A,

Ax = kx

Then k is an eigenvalue and x is an eigenvector

kind hamlet
#

ooooooooh

#

and to find it i just have to Ax-Kx=0?

#

where Kx is equal to KIx?

broken yew
#

you have k, solve for x for each k

#

Each eigenvector corresponds to an eigenvalue

broken yew
kind hamlet
#

yes

#

i just have to substitute them i guess?

broken yew
#

yes

kind hamlet
#

and then keep going?

#

oh

#

wait

#

dont look at the las 0-lambda im dumb i just changed it

#

something like this?

broken yew
#

I'm not going to check, but once you have an answer, you can check it works

#

check the equation Ax = kx holds

kind hamlet
#

ooh i think i got it thanks 😮

New topic in math for me

lean otter
#

Oh hello again

inner perch
#

Hi

lean otter
#

What's the question

inner perch
#

I need to calc it

lean otter
#

It's kinda hard to read

plucky elk
#

Complex numbers?

lean otter
#

Is it (x-5)^4=-16

#

??

inner perch
#

Yeah

lean otter
#

Ok so

#

-16 is negative

#

So it will have two complex roots

#

so

ember sphinx
#

Complex numbers

lean otter
#

x-5=square root(-1)*square root (4)

inner perch
#

Is it complex?

lean otter
#

Solution will be complex

worthy hemlock
#

Don't to the work for people

#

It doesn't help them learn if you do everything for them

inner perch
#

Where does the i

lean otter
#

You're right

inner perch
#

Coming drom

lean otter
#

Ok

flat frigateBOT
#

lean otter
#

Whoa how do u do that

#

That texit thing

#

Nvm

#

So

#

So now that we know that, what does it become?

inner perch
#

CN

#

Can we start from beginning

Situation: Danny Heater set the national high school record for most points scored in a basketball game with 135 points on January 6, 1960. Billy Baller has a chance to break Danny's record at tonight's game. It is half-time and Billy has already made 7 free throw shots worth one point each as well as multiple two point and three point shots. Billy wants to know if he makes more two point shots than three point shots, what is the minimum number of two point shots he can make and break Danny's record.

Product: Determine the minimum number of two point shots that Billy could make during the game to break Danny's record. You must show Billy mathematical proof that you have correctly found the minimum number of two point shots he must score to break Danny's record.

tidal gust
#

okay

#

so i get that it is like a 3 equation question about system of equations i think

#

but im stuck and dont know where to start

#

if anyone could give me tips that is great

#

please anybody

tidal gust
#

i don’t know where to start with this word problem can anyone help

rigid saddle
#

@tidal gust u can first set up an equation for this problem
lets assume u need to score greater than or equal to 136 points
we can set the equation equal to 136 for simplicities sake and round up later

#

So we can get the equation

#

$7 + 2(x+1) + 3x = 136$

flat frigateBOT
#

Аngеl Оf Неll

rigid saddle
#

7 is the 7 free throw points

tidal gust
#

yes

#

correct

rigid saddle
#

x is the number of 3 pointer shots

#

and since we want more 2 pointer shots than 3

#

we can add 1 to x

#

so we get 2(x+1) for the 2 pointer shots

#

and 3x for the 3 pointer shots

#

then we can solve this equation for x

#

@tidal gust then u can try solving

tidal gust
#

alright

#

thank you for this

#

ill get back to you if I do solve it

rigid saddle
#

yea

#

just remember take the numbers

tidal gust
#

if not will you proceed to assist me

rigid saddle
#

and force them into an equation

tidal gust
#

sorry algebra is my weakness

rigid saddle
#

yea

#

np

tidal gust
#

I think I found x

#

Is it 25.4

#

@rigid saddle

rigid saddle
#

alright

#

thats good

#

now can u shoot 25.4 balls

#

or what do we do with this answer

#

@tidal gust

tidal gust
#

sorry

#

was eating dinner

tidal gust
#

but you could make 25.4 points right

#

if you round up the 25.4 to 25

rigid saddle
#

round 25.4 up to 25?

tidal gust
#

or shoot 25.4 3 pointer

tidal gust
rigid saddle
#

if u round down do u still get enough points?

tidal gust
#

oof

#

🤨

rigid saddle
#

so u need to round up

tidal gust
#

ohh

#

alright

rigid saddle
#

remember u want to get at least 136 points

#

more is always ok

tidal gust
#

ya that question kinda stumbled me

rigid saddle
#

so then we get 26

#

for x = 26

tidal gust
#

alright

rigid saddle
#

so how many 2 pointer shots do we need to score

tidal gust
#

well earlier you started x = 3 pointers correct

rigid saddle
#

yes

tidal gust
#

so if I plug in x into the equation you gave me, will that tell me how much 2 pointers i need to score?

#

oh wait

#

wait

#

wait

#

before you finish typing

#

im stuoid sorry

rigid saddle
#

np

tidal gust
#

26 three pointers is around 78 points

#

plus the free throws

#

+7

#

so the rest of the points that’s missing

#

136-78 = y

#

Y is the 2 pointers?
