#

yeah but they did that through

#

and I dont understand this^

#

and have been drawing it by hand

dusk gate
#

Those values in brackets are your x and y values at the point where a line drawn from the origin intersects the circle

#

They are where sin and cos come from

timid scroll
#

oh

#

I understand what you mean / nop nvm- ill stick to drawing lol, but in this case yes i understand bc lucky case? / i dont get it in depth

#

yes ?

dusk gate
#

Yes, because the x value is negative here

#

from pi/2 to 3pi/4

#

x is -, y is +

#

So.. can I ask, and sorry if this is a dumb question, but...

#

You realize that the (m pi) / n numbers are replacing the usual 120 degrees or whatever, right?

timid scroll
#

go for it

#

Yes

#

But i still dont use the diagram

#

I like to draw it out

dusk gate
#

That's fine!

#

Ok!

#

So have you noticed a pattern in the pi/ number sequence yet?

timid scroll
#

no

dusk gate
#

If you convert all those fractions to a fraction with a denominator of 12, you're just incrementing by 1 pi / 12 each time

#

Though they skip 1 pi / 12, 5 pi / 12, and some others

#

The ones within 15 degrees of the x and y axes

timid scroll
#

having a bit trouble understanding, sorry

#

I dont like pi

#

I like fractions and degrees in some cases

#

thats about it

dusk gate
#

Heh.. irrational numbers used in fractions are ironic

#

But take pi / 6 for instance

#

that's the same as 6 pi / 12

timid scroll
#

it is?

dusk gate
#

Yep.. it's just reduced

timid scroll
#

ok yeah

dusk gate
#

12 pi / 12 = pi

timid scroll
#

It just looks like
1/6 and 1/2 for me

dusk gate
#

with trig, just don't forget pi

#

If you don't bring pi, the whole family gets mad at Thanksgiving

timid scroll
#

its fine ill just not show up

dusk gate
#

yeah, lame, sorry

timid scroll
#

no its fun

dusk gate
#

So

#

Take a look at pi / 3

timid scroll
#

If I may ask sorry to interupt

dusk gate
#

np

timid scroll
#

This is how I do it,
and you can see +5/13 aka +22.6

#

Is Obtuse

#

Based on the drawing

#

Now

#

Can I make this into what I showed?

dusk gate
#

negative 5/13 can be obtuse

#

ggg

timid scroll
#

sadthink wym

dusk gate
#

and negative 5 / negative 13 can be obtuse

timid scroll
#

ggg

dusk gate
#

but 5 / 13 is acute

timid scroll
#

its a sin graph

dusk gate
#

Trouble is, in Quadrant 3, sin and cos are both negative (negative 5 / negative 13) and so you end up with a positive value

dusk gate
timid scroll
#

0, 180, 360 ect

dusk gate
#

Right

timid scroll
#

Fuck me

#

So basically I have to learn it

#

Circle diagram

dusk gate
#

Just like in Quadrant 2 and 4, one of the values is negative

#

So you end up with a negative number... but you don't know which one it was, without more input

timid scroll
#

Yeah But its asking for if Sin B is obtuse

#

90 --> 180

#

So I think we can ignore all other quadrants no?

dusk gate
#

reading

#

So, elsewhere, the problem limits you to Q II?

#

90 to 180?

timid scroll
#

yes

dusk gate
#

Gotcha!

#

Then yes

timid scroll
#

But I dont know what values to take in

#

I guess I can do this

#

and then I would have to put it into the
Pi/2 < Theta/2 < 3Pi/4

dusk gate
#

Hold up

#

not quite

#

tan theta doesn't = 1/3

#

tan theta / 2 = 1/3

timid scroll
#

so 2/3?

#

Tan Theta = 2/3 ?

dusk gate
#

1/6

timid scroll
#

hmm

dusk gate
#

1/3 divided by 2/1

timid scroll
#

ok

#

OHHH

dusk gate
#

or.. sorry..

#

that's the outcome

#

the cross multiplication is what you have to undo to get the value of theta

#

x / 2 = 1/3

#

multiply both sides by 2

#

So yes, you're correct: 2/3

timid scroll
#

:3

#

And then what range do I use

dusk gate
#

In what context?

#

snaps fingers

#

Ok, I see what you're asking

#

tan = sin/cos right?

timid scroll
#

Yes

dusk gate
#

tan is also the slope of your line

#

y / x

#

rise / run

timid scroll
#

Are we over complicating it

#

Ohhhh

dusk gate
#

Nope.. trust me, this will make everything easier

timid scroll
#

Okie doki

#

But I smell the circle diagram

dusk gate
#

Yep

timid scroll
#

Oh god*

#

Wait no I might learn something

#

I understood gradient part

#

If gradient is negative it’s negative

#

If positive it’s positive

#

But how do you do it for a cos graph

dusk gate
#

Yes... take a look at 2pi / 3

#

That's a negative slope, isn't it?

#

the orange line

timid scroll
#

No idea

#

I guess so

dusk gate
#

I mean, just looking at a line on a graph, you can see if the slope is negative or positive

#

from left to right, if you're going downhill, the slope is negative

#

if you're going uphill, the slope is positive

timid scroll
#

So here you just look at the circle?

#

Also does it vary with sin cos and tan

#

The quadrants no?

dusk gate
#

And do some simple math, but yeah

timid scroll
#

Other version

#

:3

#

One day, if im chained up in a room and forced to learn Circle Diagram

#

I might

#

Anyways

#

Thank you for the help and ofc your patience

#

with me refusing everything

dusk gate
#

np.. trying to think of the best way to get from here to there

timid scroll
#

I like to divert conversations

dusk gate
#

hard to do, when they're dividing theta by 2

timid scroll
dusk gate
#

at least, quick/visually

timid scroll
#

Just throw it in the calc no

#

and then draw the graph

#

and voila

dusk gate
#

Well, because if we do that, then we don't actually understand what's going on under the hood

timid scroll
#

Its fine'

dusk gate
#

So, let me ask you this - where does tan theta = sqrt(3)?

#

How would you go about that?

timid scroll
#

Ok ezier than before

#

so thats 60

#

what range?

dusk gate
#

What do you mean by range?

timid scroll
dusk gate
#

normally, domain is the limit of your x values, range is the limit of your y

timid scroll
#

whats the question acc

#

I dont know what im supposed to do

#

You want the angle?

#

60?

dusk gate
#

Yeah, it's just 60

timid scroll
#

ok

#

done?

dusk gate
#

Almost.. trying to see your thought process

timid scroll
#

So

#

What I did is

#

I grabbed calcualtor

dusk gate
#

LOL

timid scroll
#

Tan ^-1 ( sqrt(3))

#

you might be looking for a question like this @dusk gate ?

#

and here, the magic trick is the numbers

#

A-B

#

So find 2 common numbers than make 15

#

45 and 30

dusk gate
#

1/2 divided by sqrt(3)/2 = sqrt(3)

timid scroll
#

Yeah but i sadly dont have a circle image at hand yk

#

Maybe, I should try converting people from Circle diagram with drawing it by hand

dusk gate
#

Right, but depending on what you want to do and what classes you end up in... if you're already into this, then you're going to end up having to learn that circle diagram 😉

#

spoiler alert

#

But on the plus side

#

Once you recognize where those numbers come from...

timid scroll
#

yeah

dusk gate
timid scroll
#

oh no

#

Not that

#

I saw that before

dusk gate
#

at 60, x = 1/2

timid scroll
#

is that the Y axis?

#

1/2?

dusk gate
#

No, it's the x

#

with the brackets

timid scroll
#

x?

dusk gate
#

The dashed line is just to show where the x value comes back to the x axis

#

what you're measuring is the 1/2 of the x axis

#

(plus another 1/2 = 1, which is the radius of the circle)

timid scroll
#

hmmm

#

So it goes from 60 to 120?

#

60 -> 360

dusk gate
#

I think you're confusing the specific requests in your problems with the very general nature of the Unit Circle as a whole

#

cos 60 = 1/2

#

that's it

#

nothing more

timid scroll
#

nvm

dusk gate
#

eh?

timid scroll
#

Idk u siad 1 = 360

#

I just need a bit more time into this topic

#

before i can understand

#

/ find patterns

timid scroll
#

is absolutely correct

dusk gate
#

When your problem is asking for the range, what's it asking for, exactly?

#

put "range" into your own words

timid scroll
#

no clue,
I think the maximum value of something or only value available

#

To this question

dusk gate
#

hmm

timid scroll
#

lol

#

But i also think of it as

#

its going to simplify this question

#

somehow

#

anyways

#

in general i have no flipping clue what im doing 99% of the time

#

Since i started trig

#

i just remmeber formats of questions

dusk gate
#

That's fair

timid scroll
#

whats cos 2X

#

exactly

#

if x = 3

#

is it cos (2 x 3)

#

Or cos (3) + cos (3)

#

or 2 x cos (3)

#

becuase sometimes its
cos (2 x 3)

dusk gate
#

2*3

#

The first one

timid scroll
#

ah ok

dusk gate
#

2 cos x would be 2 x cos 3

#

cos^2 x would be cos 3 * cos 3

timid scroll
#

hmm

#

cos (3) + cos (3)

#

is it just that

#

or

dusk gate
#

2 cos (3)

timid scroll
#

right

dusk gate
#

or, since multiplication and addition are cousins

#

cos (2 * 3)

timid scroll
#

yeah,
you know logs?
I dont use them at all i just ln all the time lol

dusk gate
#

Yep.. natural log, base e

timid scroll
#

also whats fun is

ln -3 = x ln-3

#

but as long as you know its positive x value

#

you can just do ln -3

#

ln 3 = x ln-3

#

same goes for this

#

lol

#

I do that too

#

and it kills everyone

#

to see it

#

these are the things i spot in math

dusk gate
#

o.O

#

you.. can't take the ln of negative numbers

timid scroll
#

yeah thats true

dusk gate
#

Are you taking the absolute value?

timid scroll
#

you just force it to become positive

timid scroll
dusk gate
#

oh - yes.. you'll see ln used with the absolute value signs all the time

timid scroll
#

another thing is I dont know the names for anything

#

:3

dusk gate
#

That'll come with time

timid scroll
#

Like this

#

Anywyas

#

Im going to leave you to it

#

thank you very much for the time

#

Was fun

#

Talking to you

#

: p

dusk gate
#

Did your question get answered?

timid scroll
#

yes

dusk gate
#

tan theta/2?

timid scroll
#

-3

dusk gate
#

ok!

#

Best of luck - thanks for the chat!

timid scroll
#

Thank you for the fun!

100 balls of 6 different colours in n boxes, any two balls of the same colour in different boxes are distributed in such a way that they are placed in boxes. For any two boxes, there is one of these 6 colours such that neither of the two boxes has a ball painted in that colour. What is the smallest possible value of n?

drifting ridge
#

can i get help?

safe radishBOT
drowsy citrus
#

To find the average integrate the function and divide it by total time.

safe radishBOT
#

@drifting ridge Has your question been resolved?

drifting ridge
drowsy citrus
#

integrate h(t) from 1 to 4 and divide it by 3 (the total time)

drifting ridge
drowsy citrus
#

It's simple integration of the function

drifting ridge
#

can you do it visualised

drowsy citrus
#

You can use the internet for that. Just go type integral calculator, input this function, specify the values and divide the the result by 3. That should do it.

drifting ridge
#

because i dont use english terms

drowsy citrus
#

Okay, now find the area under the curve from A to B

#

Also, I hope you know how to do the second part of it.

drifting ridge
drifting ridge
#

i only have for the first year no?

drowsy citrus
#

I was simply saying this

#

This should yeild a value of 5.1 metres. Divide it by 3 due to duration being from year 1 to year 4.

#

That'll give you 1.7 metre average height.

drifting ridge
#

but isnt this right for a

drowsy citrus
drifting ridge
drowsy citrus
#

Okay, first off, why are you using the AB line ? There's no need for it. Remove it. Then find the area under the red curve from A to B.

drifting ridge
#

and the line determines that

drowsy citrus
#

Ummm.... nope. The line isn't actually helping here.

#

Okay let's try to understand it practically.

#

Average is the addition of all values over a span divided by the length of that span itself.

#

But since the values in this cases are infinitely many (a continuous function has infinitely many values), all these values will be added and divide by the length of the span (4-1=3). So the net addition of these infinite values ends up becoming the integration of the function from 1 to 4.

#

This integration is also the area under the red curve, but this has nothing to do with the AB line.

exotic charm

what does this little x mean

safe radishBOT
exotic charm
#

this is the function btw

plucky elk
#

partial derivative with respect to x

safe radishBOT
#

@exotic charm Has your question been resolved?

exotic charm
#

wb fxy

#

does that mean partial derivative wrt to y and then x

#

or partial derivative wrt to x then y

exotic charm
#

wow they sure like to make it confusing

#

xy = differentiate wrt to y then x

#

then y not call it yx 😠

what does this mean?

ripe plover
# shell kiln

there basically asking you to use a trig function that contains the sides used in the diagram

shell kiln
#

is the answer for a. sin 70 (a)

#

?

ripe plover
#

like the first part, a is the hyp and x is the opp so sin70

#

yep

shell kiln
#

k and this?

ripe plover
#

same thing but just replace the variable with the number and if you have a calculator find the value

shell kiln
#

find the value for x and correct to two decimal places thats all right?

yeah

halcyon light
safe radishBOT
halcyon light
#

So I set up (2m+1)^2

#

expanded it

#

and showed it wasent divisible by three

#

however, the mark scheme shows this

#

does it have to be this way

#

or is my way also good

#

like how dyu even know 3k+1 is an odd integer

vast obsidian
halcyon light
#

thats the mark scheme

vast obsidian
#

It's good anyway

halcyon light
#

i said what i did above

vast obsidian
halcyon light
#

erm

#

i got 4m^2 +1

#

and like if i divide thos terms by three

#

i dont get whole integers

#

wait....

#

thats not right is it

#

that could return a whole integer

drowsy citrus
#

No no

vast obsidian
#

It's not immediately clear why it should be right

drowsy citrus
#

@halcyon light the approach is correct only

halcyon light
#

wdym the approach

drowsy citrus
#

2m+1 approach

halcyon light
#

oh yeah

#

i expand that

#

4m^2+1

#

then what would i do

#

oh wait

#

is expanding it wrong too?

halcyon light
vast obsidian
halcyon light
#

fk

#

forgotten

#

ahhhh

#

4m^2+4m+1

#

ok

vast obsidian
#

Yes

#

Tbh I wouldn't go on from here. The fact that the integer is odd doesn't really help you at all. It is enough to know that it is an integer not dividable by 3. The part that it is odd doesn't give you any helpful info

#

So there isn't really a point in introducing the k as you did

halcyon light
#

i didnt introduce the k

#

the mark scheme did

halcyon light
#

not right then?

vast obsidian
#

Yeah, they introduced it as 3k +1 or 3k +2

#

That makes totally sense

halcyon light
#

it dosent for me

#

N has to be an odd integer

#

if N = 3k+1

#

then its even no?

#

well like

#

it can be even

#

if i subbed in k = 1

#

i would get 10

vast obsidian
#

Yes

vast obsidian
halcyon light
#

ahhh

#

i meant 3

#

ohhhhh

vast obsidian
#

But as I said the statement doesn't require that N is odd

halcyon light
#

wait no

halcyon light
#

N is an odd integer

vast obsidian
#

Yes, but as I said the statement is also true for any arbitrary integer not dividable by 3

drowsy citrus
#

You guys mind if I help ?

halcyon light
#

please haha

vast obsidian
#

If you can show the statement for any integer that is not dividable by 3 you have showed it as well for the extra condition for n being odd

halcyon light
#

I get that but

#

i dont get how does 3k+1 and 3k+2 cover any integer

#

wait

vast obsidian
#

Any integer that is not dividable by 3

halcyon light
#

or do i....

#

oh

#

right

#

ah i think i got it

#

thanksssss

vast obsidian
#

You're welcome

halcyon light
drowsy citrus
#

We know the number has to be odd == 2k+1. And it should not be a multiple of 3 n!=3(2k+1). This means n=3(2k+1)+2 or n=3(2k+1)+4

#

Now do whatever you want to do with this data.

#

PS: think and tell why n!=3(2k+1)+1 or 3(2k+1)+3

halcyon light
#

oh wait

#

no i dunno

#

u havent proven

#

it cant equal that

vast obsidian
drowsy citrus
#

3k+1 is simply not odd, buddy.

halcyon light
#

wait yeah i was thinking that as well

drowsy citrus
#

Take k=1. One should not create ambiguity in the solution.

halcyon light
#

but i was thinking they covered 3k+2

drowsy citrus
#

If it's in a question, it works. But not in solution.

halcyon light
#

which means if u have the same k value for both

#

then that covers both even and odd

#

inevitably

halcyon light
#

like

#

they did the 3k+2 as well

#

which would give u an odd number

#

yeah but then

#

if u plugged that into the 3k+1 u get even

drowsy citrus
#

My case stands better foolproof.

#

Rather than 3k+1, it just gives you half of all possible cases of odd integers not divisible by 3. The other one igves the other half.

halcyon light
drowsy citrus
#

Check it no. You'll understand.

halcyon light
#

i dont get it

#

to me u just assumed the statemet ur trying to prove is true

#

my brains prob gna explode

drowsy citrus
#

See my first step was 2k+1 is always going to be odd. And if you multiply 3, an odd number, with 2k+1, another odd number, you'll always get an odd number as the answer. This number IS a multiple of 3 : 3(2k+1). 3(2k+1)+2 will always be odd and also not a multiple of 3

If I have two planes in a system in 3D. How would I get the solution to the system in a systematic way using uh pivots?

I just reasoned about the answer and that’s not enough apparently

Should I know concepts such as ”reduced row echelon form”?

#

How do i do this question?

#

what i have so far is equating S2n

#

that the 2 middle terms equate to s+l

hot thistle
#

do you know the usual formula for the sum of the first n terms

hot thistle
verbal oasis
verbal oasis
hot thistle
verbal oasis
#

it simplifies to 2an+2dn^2-dn

#

if i did it right

hot thistle
#

yes, but im going to not factor the (n) [\frac{2n}{2}(2a + (2n - 1)d) = n(2a + 2nd - d)]

flat frigateBOT
#

maximo

verbal oasis
#

so i just need to prove a+l = 2a + 2nd -d

hot thistle
#

what is a + l

verbal oasis
#

uh the sum of the first and last numbers

hot thistle
#

why the first and last

verbal oasis
#

i thought the sum of the middle 2 terms would be equal to the first and last

hot thistle
#

yeah it does
if you can just say that then yes that is what you need to do

#

otherwise just find an expression for the two middle terms and show their sum is the thing in the parentheses

verbal oasis
#

how would u find the expression for the two middle terms

#

i thought about n/2 but that just finds one singular middle term

hot thistle
#

im aware, im saying that if they are writing a proof and they want to just say that, they should make sure it is known ahead of time

hot thistle
verbal oasis
#

what if u have an odd number of terms tho

#

or does that not apply since the series goes on forever

#

ah

#

ok thank you for your help guys

#

i understand the question now :)

#

Hello can someone help me out

safe radishBOT
lean otter
#

Let me post the question

#

Give me one second

#

Okay so

#

By the comparison theorem

#

I have to determine whether this is divergent or convergent

#

Im having trouble finding a function to compare it to

plucky elk
#

compare highest powers of numerator and denominator

lean otter
#

Okay

#

1/sqrtx?

#

Or 1/x^3/2

#

@plucky elk

plucky elk
#

neither

#

you can safely ignore the -x in the denominator

restive niche
#

What you sent was correct

#

Idk why you deleted it

lean otter
#

1/x?

restive niche
#

Yeah

lean otter
#

Okay so now I have to figure out whether or not the given integral is less than or greater than 1/x

#

And then whether the comparison converges or diverges

#

(x+1)/sqrt(x^4-x) >= 1/x

#

1/x diverges

#

So the original integral diverges

#

Is that the proper way to work through this problem

no brackets tho

Write the square root as $abc^{(1/2)}$. Then take the 1/2 outside. And then split the $\log(abc) = \log a+\log b+ \log c$

#

here's another

log (x^2 + x + 3) = log 9 + log (x - 1)

lilac relic
#

I might have done it wrong because I've ended up factorising it and I can't make 10 out of 120

#

as far as I can see

potent seal
#

Could you show your work

lilac relic
#

ok

#

(x^2 + x +3) = 9*(x-1)
(x^2 + x + 3) = 9x-9
x^2 + x + 3 = 9x - 9
x^2 + x + 12 = 9x
x^2 + 10x + 12

10 * 12 = 120
5 * 25
4 * 30
6 * 20
8 * 15
10 * 12

terse lichen
#

9x is positive on the right

#

if you move it to the left it will be negative

#

you added instead of subtracted

lilac relic
#

oh?

terse lichen
#

x^2 + x + 12 = 9x
x^2 + 10x + 12 = 0

lilac relic
#

that could be my problem then

terse lichen
#

see the problem?

lilac relic
#

yes

#

I'll fix that and see what happens

thin bridge
#

also why are you considering the value of bc

lilac relic
lilac relic
#

10 * 2

thin bridge
#

how are you getting the -10x

lilac relic
#

I'm not getting -10x

#

I'm getting positve

thin bridge
#

misead something

#

where's 10 * 2 coming from

lilac relic
#

just trying to factorise the last part

thin bridge
#

continue from

x^2 + x + 12 = 9x

lilac relic
#

now it's x^2 + 10x +2

thin bridge
#

is incorrect

lilac relic
#

yes

lilac relic
#

which is weird

thin bridge
#

show work

#

also equations don't become expressions

lilac relic
thin bridge
#

continue from
x^2 + x + 12 = 9x

lilac relic
#

cause I thought it would be easier if I got rid of the log

thin bridge
#

stuff upto that line is valid

#

recall basic principles such as doing the same thing to both sides of the equation
consider what you could do to 9x to get 0
and do that to both sides of the equation

lilac relic
#

so

x^2 - 8x + 12?

terse lichen
#

yes

thin bridge
#

also equations don't become expressions

#

= 0

lilac relic
#

x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0

#

I've spent the whole day working and my mind is a bit fried so that's why I keep making mistakes I think

#

I still can't get good number out of it

I've tried

2 x 48
3 x 32
4 x 24
6 x 16
8 x 12

none of them match to make -8

#

you know what

#

I might just stop

thanks for the help

#

thin bridge
#

why are you considering products that multiply to bc or -bc

#

i.e. why are you multiplying the 8 to the 12

lilac relic
#

oh, well then I might have been treating this questions as the wrong type of factorising question

#

the simple ones are when you go middle * end number

thin bridge
#

no

left gyro
#

to factor ax^2 + bx + c,

lilac relic
#

but it could be in this case 1 * 12

left gyro
#

you multiply a * c

lilac relic
#

yeah

left gyro
#

you do not multiply b * c

thin bridge
#

you're confusing ac with bc

left gyro
#

so to factor 1x^2 - 8x + 12,

#

you multiply 1 and 12 together

#

to get 12

#

now you consider what numbers add to -8 and multiply to 12

#

in other words, two numbers G and H that:
G + H = -8
G * H = 12

lilac relic
#

yes I understand the factorising

left gyro
#

and its already enough to go through possible numbers for G and H

lilac relic
#

cause there's two ways to do it that I'm aware of

left gyro
#

which are?

thin bridge
#

no

lilac relic
#

I'm not finished

#

I misclicked

thin bridge
#

its already wrong

#

that's why i'm saying no as there's no need to contune

lilac relic
#

?, lol. I need to speak to my teacher about this. it seems that I've forgotten how to factorise properly.

thin bridge
#

as mentione by us, at no point should you be multiplying b by c

lilac relic
#

okay

#

because of ax^2 + bx + c

#

it's just that I always used to factorise like that and I got it right. unless I'm remembering wrong

thin bridge
#

when factorising
ax^2 + bx + c
you can consider the pair of values that
multiply to ac
and sum to b
to determine how to split the middle bx term
for monic quadratics, the value of a is just 1

#

so you'd just be looking for the pair of values that multiply to c and sum to b

lilac relic
#

yeah like for 8x^2 + 10x - 3 = 0

you would go 8 times -3

#

then it would be 8x^2 + 12x - 2x -3 = 0

#

then 4x(2x+3) - 1(2x+3) = 0

thin bridge
#

yes

lilac relic
#

etc etc

#

that in my understanding was just the way to factorise when there was a number before the x^2

#

but it seems like that isn't the case

thin bridge
#

it is

lilac relic
#

wait what did I just say?

thin bridge
#

1x^2 - 8x + 12,
the number in front of the x^2 just isn't -8

lilac relic
#

yes

#

yes

thin bridge
#

the same approach is applicable if you use 1 for the value of a

lilac relic
#

ye

thin bridge
#

given the quadratic is nicely factorisable, the above method you outlined will work.

lilac relic
#

oh I think what I did before actually for questions such as x^2 +7x + 12 was to just use the c term to find out the factorising

#

not b and c

#

that's why I'm getting confused

#

because 3 and 4 make 12. 3+4 make 7

thin bridge
#

yes

lilac relic
#

then (x+3)(x+4)

#

yeah

#

lol, oh well.

#

well thank you chaps for clearing that up and helping me. I've had a bit of a moment

#

I should have just looked further into my notes book

#

I'll close it down

@vestal fable Has your question been resolved?

turbid swan

or you want it to rotate about a fixed point

vestal fable
#

yea

#

it should rotate to cursor

turbid swan
#

the simplest way I'd think is calculating the tangent to angle between the mouse pos and the centre of the screen but since it's computers they're likely to mess up for π/2

spark bridge
#

you can use atan2

#

i think it has support for weird cases

wow is that even a thing?

In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent. By definition,

    (

vestal fable

sorry i dont know any geometry

most programming languages have atan2 implemented

in a library

i think the one they're using is js or ts since it's web

vestal fable
#

js

turbid swan
#

and they're the craziest bunch of languages

so what do i do with atan2

safe radishBOT
#

@lean otter Has your question been resolved?

dapper venture
#

if you play D3 blue will play E3

buoyant shadow
#

it doesn't say connect 4

#

why are you so certain @lean otter

lean otter
lean otter
#

i didnt see that

lean otter
buoyant shadow
#

interesting

#

it's d3

dapper venture
#

wait I don't think you can win

buoyant shadow
#

yeah, you can't win

#

so d3 makes sense

hybrid wedge
dapper venture
#

no

#

you must play B6,E3 or F2 to block

#

then blue plays B3, we must play B2, and D3 is unstoppable

lean otter
#

@buoyant shadow @dapper venture @hybrid wedge

#

The question is specifically:

#

What should you move to avoid losing the game

#

im pretty sure the move is E3

#

no that doesnt work

dapper venture
#

you eventually loses

lean otter
#

as wherewolf stated

dapper venture
#

blue plays B3

lean otter
#

if blue B3 I B2

dapper venture
#

then D3

lean otter
#

A3

hybrid wedge
#

A3?

dapper venture
#

both A4 and D6 needs to be blocked

#

A4 and D6 connects 4

hybrid wedge
#

Yeah i forgot D6

dapper venture
#

oh A3 mb

lean otter
#

or maybe the question is all about just one move ?

#

that would be silly tho

lean otter
dapper venture
#

I meant A3

lean otter
#

the line

#

Green E3

#

Blue B3

#

Green B2

#

Oh wait

#

yep

#

Blue D6 ends the game

#

B3 is just wining for blue after stopping to to form diagonal connect 4

#

yea its over at that move technically

#

cause it forces b2

#

i think the answer is E3 still

#

how do you have to enter the answer tho ?

#

forces a game that doesn end after one more move

hi how can i get the value of m knowing the vertex is those two points given there

left gyro
#

do you have any more information about m and n

#

or about k(x)

#

rn you wont be able to solve for the values of m and n

icy lance
#

i think its doable

left gyro
#

yea I made a mistake, its doable

left gyro
# hidden drift

remember that:
vertex's x-coordinate = -b/(2a)
then enter in the information the problem has:

vertex's x-coordinate = -1/2
a = m
b = -1

-1/2 = -(-1)/(2m)

this gives you an equation to solve for m

left gyro
hidden drift
#

so like -b/2a = -1/2

left gyro
#

yea

hidden drift
#

in this equation b already has a negative in front

#

that would make it postive right?

Hello, my question is rather simple i just want to know the theory behind to why when you want to find the shortest path between two points like here you subtract with eachother (OQ -OP) Why is that done?

placid garnet
#

if something is unclear because its written in swedish ask!

harsh nova
#

Do you know how vectors add?

#

In R^2, how would you add two vectors?

#

After answering that

#

You can draw some two vectors x,y in R^2

#

Then figure out how to reach Oy from Ox

placid garnet
#

Ahhhh i know how to solve now

#

thanks

how do I solve this: $$L=\lim _{a\to \infty }\int _a^{a+1}\frac{x+1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}dx$$

dusk gate
#

You'll still have to solve the integral of 1/sqrt(x^2+1), but that's a textbook integral, so...

hard mortar
dusk gate
#

L'Hopital

hard mortar
#

I don't think finding the antiderivative will help

dusk gate
#

😉 Missed the "lim" at the front, lol

hard mortar
#

np

dusk gate
#

So you end up with infinity/infinity...

hard mortar
#

but yeah I haven't really encountered that kind of integral before

dusk gate
#

take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator separately

#

if you still have an indeterminate form, do it again

#

rinse, repeat until it becomes evident that the limit converges or diverges

hard mortar
#

I am supposed to solve this one with an inequality

dusk gate
#

But after the first iteration, it should be evident that the limit is (probably) 0

mint flint
dusk gate
#

Since the fraction is bottom-heavy

#

Ehh.. or is it.. looks closer

hard mortar
dusk gate
#

No.. use L'Hopital's Rule

#

you have the indeterminate form of infinity/infinity

mint flint
#

but there's an integral

hard mortar
#

I am not supposed to solve the integral for this

dusk gate
hard mortar
#

yeah the point is to find something along the lines of (something) <= (the integral function)

dusk gate
#

If the limit is undefined, then there will be no solution

#

i.e., if the limit explodes off to infinity, then the area under the curve is infinite

hard mortar
#

and it that is equal to infinity

#

then the integral limit will equal infinity too

#

I think

mint flint
#

mmm

#

well

#

just from looking at it

#

the integrand will approach y=1

#

so wouldn't that make the area limit also 1

dusk gate
#

If a is approaching infinity, you first have to ask... what is a?

hard mortar
mint flint
#

im not using any integral techniques here

dusk gate
#

They kinda shit on you right out of the gate, didn't they

hard mortar
#

I haven't been taught that integrals find the area under a curve yet

mint flint
#

oh

mint flint
#

why dont they teach you that...

#

before they give u these problems

hard mortar
#

because you don't need to know that

#

apparently

mint flint
#

hm

dusk gate
#

ehhh

mint flint
#

so what do you know about integrals

#

i mean you have to know something righ

#

to do this problem

hard mortar
#

yeah I know how to solve them

#

sometimes

mint flint
#

this problem would be really easy if not for all these restrictions 😭

hard mortar
#

from the function inside the integral

#

maybe a minimum and maximum value

#

then integrate the inequality

#

what confuses me is the limit

dusk gate
#

Hold up

#

infinity + 1 is just infinity

#

the limit is in terms of a, not x

#

the integral is a red herring

mint flint
#

but the problem is that gives you inf-inf

#

which is indeterminant

#

bc of how u evaluate integrals

dusk gate
mint flint
#

??

#

what

dusk gate
#

Look at his original problem

mint flint
#

i am

dusk gate
#

if this were the limit as x approaches infinity, that would be one thing

#

But this isn't

mint flint
#

right

#

so?

#

it is in terms of a

dusk gate
#

infinity + 1 = infinity

#

unless I'm horribly forgetting my limit rules

#

everything to the right of this section is pretty much irrelevant

mint flint
#

i mean

#

i guess i see what ur saying

dusk gate
#

since the limit is not in terms of anything found in the function

mint flint
#

i just checked with a graphing calculator tho and that method doesnt work

dusk gate
#

There is no "a" in the function

mint flint
#

because the fact that a is part of an integral implies that you have to subtract the as
