the coloured intersection basically tells us the part where it has BOTH A AND B
I would just draw out B' and A on two separate Venn diagrams
then see which areas are in common
I usually work it out by drawing the diagrams
What Kristy said is a pretty good way to think of it
don't forget the space outside the circles, cause everything in the rectangle is the universal set
i would normally try to understand what it’s asking us to do, then colour accordingly!
yeah so if you do that, their intersection is A \ B, A not B
right...
when it asks for A n B’ it basically asking what section has A ONLY and NO B, there’s 3 sections in totoal
the left middle and right
both the middle and right has B included in it, thus y it ISNT coloured, and the left side ONLY has A which is y it’s coloured
Depends on if it's asking to intersect something
Anything outside the circles is neither of the things happening
colour outside means NO A AND B
There it's asking ya for A not to happen and B to happen
Outside the circles, B does NOT happen, thus why it's not colored
why is NO A and B color outside, and NO A or B (outside isnt colored)
Wdym
Before anyone types
This is my logic if I may
NO A and B
Step 1, NO A
Step 2 what do I do with 'and' 'B'
colour in B with another colour
where there are two colours is the intersection
Decolor any region in which B does not happen
this is a neater way of doing that, yeah
Intersection(or 'and’) requires both conditions to be fulfilled
Simultaneously
what do I do step 3 'and'
You've decolored where B happens
Yup
Why decolor?
Think of it like this: you're looking for a region where 2 conditions are satisfied:
1: A does not happen
2: B does happen
Fulfill one condition in each step, and consider what remains
and the 'and' ?
You've fulfilled both conditions
That's all the “and“ means
oh
Well, I've gotta do something, try to work it out and see if someone else can check it out
cool, so first colour in B' as you did
now colour in A
if you combine the two regions, that is the union
yep, that's it
lol
yeah haha
ye

I dont know much about similar triangles
It just means the angles are the same right?
The triangles dont look like they have the same angles 👀
Is COA supposed to be the same as BCA?
yes
Ok
Im not really sure what the first step is still...
what do you know about the sides of triangles in any pair of similar triangles?
Theyre proportional somehow?
why did you claim this?
i mean i see you said no, but why not?
Because the length of OA is 3+sqrt(3) so the line that is equivalent to that in the similar triangle is CA, so I thought that that meant it had the same length, but I then remembered theyre proportional not the same
Right. And what are the proportions between the corresponding sides?
Im trying to figure it out
We dont know C so idk how we can get any of them
we dont have any pair from the similar triangles
Ok, first tell me which pairs of sides are supposed to be in proportion
we do
BC and OC, BA and CA, CA and OA
I can figure out the lengths of only 1 from each pair
We need both to figure out the proportions, right?
Cause every pair has something with C
Yes, but there is also a fact that the ratio of any pair is same
Yes but we need a pair to get the ratio, no?
Just write it out like this (ofc the names here are different coz i cropped an image off of the internet)
Does it matter which one goes on top? Big or little I mean
Nope, the ratio k just becomes 1/k
BC/CO = BA/CA = CA/OA
so about the last two, can you rearrange the terms so you have the known values on one side and unknown values on the other?
Yes. So you have CA now
Ok 1 moment I will get the numbers
No no, let it be. You can put int the numbers in the end
Ok yeah good idea
So, with CA, you can find location of C right?
It lies on OB, and is AC distance away from A
then you can use the formula for sin to get the exact angle
Sry this is taking me a min to figure out this is so confusing 😵💫
Ok sry im not sure what to do still 😭

can someone help me sketch |x+y|-|x-y|=0
you can rewrite it as |x+y|=|x-y|
sorry suposed to be >0
then cancel the absolute value signs but with plus or minus
and you can graph the two functions seperately
i think
oh
yeah
$|x|=|y|$ and $x^2=y^2$ are equivalent equations (as long as we're talking about real numbers only)
kheerii
i think you should just do it piecewise so check whether x is positive and y is positive, x pos y neg, x neg y pos and x neg y neg
and then for all check whether the inequality holds
i was thinking we just say x is positive and y is positive, then check whether |x+y|>|x-y|. well, because x and y are both positive, |x+y| will be just x+y. if x>y then |x-y| will be x-y will always be smaller than x+y right?
now check for x<y, but both still positive
ah i see
i don't know if this is the fastest method but i think it works
we will do the other cases later
is that not what ive already done
lke written out the cases
theres 4
can i do it the way ive written out because thats just the way im used to doing them
uh
i don't think so
maybe im just dumb
i think what you wrote is just x+y>0, that doesn't mean x and y are positive
right?
well i have x<-y
and x>-y
ive considered when the absolute values are negative and positive
x and y can never have different signs
huh
why?
Do you agree that |a| = sqrt(a^2)?
ok
If we expand it we get sqrt(x^2+2xy+y^2)
but also the thing inside the absolute value can be negative
sale value?
hm?
what do u mean lets start with same value opposite signs
Ok step by step dont worry
Lets start from here
ok ok
i gonna state |a|=(sqrta)^2
No that is false
u said that was right
|a| = sqrt(a^2)
ohhh
Is not the same
ok lets do that
So you get this
|x+y|=sqrt(x+y)^2
Ok now expand (x+y)^2
uh huh
Do u have difficulties on that step?
no ive got
Ok now we start analyzing from here
ok
I said x and y cant have different signs and now i will prove it
Lets suppose they have different signs
ok
x is positive and y negative ok?
Now lets say they are “equal” in size
For example one is 10 and the other is -10
In other words
|x| = |y|
This u follow?
ok
10^2 +2(10)(-10) + (-10)^2
ok got it
100 -200 + 100 =0
ok
So if they are both equally big with different signs
The result is 0
And sqrt(0) = 0
i see
Now in the other side of the inequality
We would have x^2-2xy+y^2
Because it was |x-y|
If we replace here with same thing
ok
ahhhhhh
Now lets say hey are different in size
Lets say x>y and x is positive and y negative
So that would mean x^2+2xy+y^2 is negative
ok
this would be positive
You are right i was thinking in other thing
should we put x<y
Sorry
and y negative
No, we check the same scenario
nws
ok
Focus on 2xy and -2xy in the other side
What sign is 2xy
If they have diff signs
2(positive)(negative)
y is negative right and x is positve
ok yeah
And -2xy?
So we have
Sqrt(x^2+2xy+y^2) > sqrt(x^2-2xy+y^2)
When x and y have different signs
2xy is negative and -2xy is positive
Due to this
yeah
yeah
Because the other stuff inside sqrt is the same
Thats is why x and y cant have diff signs cause
Then the inequality is false
yeah
So after proving this you prove both same sign
Both negative or both positive
Both positive is esasy
Focusing on 2xy and -2xy
You can realize is true
And both negative u can see that is also true
Can u follow everything?
yeah
So those are the solutions. x and y > 0 or x and y < 0

The intersections are at x = 0 and x = 2
Then we get the integral with limits 2 and 0 of g(x)^2 - h(x)^2
integral of (sqrt(8x))^2 - (x^2)^2
integral of 8x - x^4
4x^2 - (x^5)/5
Then sub in 2 and 0
(4(2)^2 - ((2)^5)/5) - (4(0)^2 - ((0)^5)/5)
The answer they wanted was 8/3
What did I do wrong?

Can someone help me with Geometry? Its area addition and subtraction, mostly circle shapes I'm not sure how it works
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/
,rcw
Ask your specific questions and we will try to help
i'm sorry i don't know how to be more specific that's the whole question that's how they all are
Okay well, you're given the angle of the triangle, which is also the angle of the circular sector. So you can use the sector area formula to get the area of the sector since you have the radius and angle. And once you find h, you can find the area of the triangle inside of that sector. Then the area of the shaded region is just the difference of the two areas you just found.

Is this right
Or is it second and fourth
what’s a cosine “ratio”?
Ya so like what's cosine ratio ratio of the function itself
What do you consider when you do that question?
What makes u think its second, third or fourth
Yea it’s right
gd
The only quadrant that shares both qualities is q3
My teacher actually once taught me a way to memorize that
From quad 1-4 it’s just “add sugar to coffee” which stands for all, sin, tan, and cos
think, rather than mermorize
Those are the positive values
Not wrong
Memorize?
Just draw a unit circle and a right triangle and derive it
ye
But sometimes if you have to waste time and think for something that can be done quick it’s not efficient
If you know the theory behind it it’s good
I already have alot else to memorize lol
Aight
Btw it's correct cos is +ve in first and 4 rt quadrant

hi, my school has given me some homework on compound interest and i'm stumped on this question: "If I invested $500 in an account that pays 0.6% a month compound interest, how much would my investment be worth in a year's time?"
I have done a lot of practice questions and have gotten them all right but this one says i'm wrong and i would like to understand why. It says the answer is 537.21 but i am sooo confused how they got that and they don't even show working out or anything...
if the formula is P((1+(r/n))^nt), then wouldn't that give me:
500 * ((1 + (0.006 / 12))^12) = 503.00
Is there something im doing wrong or is the question broken? how did they get 537.21?
I figured a way they could’ve gotten 537.21:
(1.006^12*500)
You divided 0.006 by 12, but 0.006 is per month already.
Oh... they haven't taught us that... i didn't know
Actually it makes sense now since 0.6 / 12 is 0.6% a month I think i just got thrown off by the wording

Please explain to me the concept of linear transformation of matirces
i have watched videos, read explanations, and looked at the AP Pre-calc book, and I still dont understand what that means
Like waht does this mean???
A linear transformation is a function that maps an input vector to an output vector such that each component of the output vector is the sum of constant multiples of the input vector components.
The new vector is a linear combination of the n axis coefficients of a vector in R^n
In R^3, that would be a linear a combination of the x, y, and z components
The real numbers
But you know
We don't have to stick to real numbers necessarily
We just usually do
what is the n axis
so its power means how many axes we have?
Yeah, that's a way of thinking of it
A linear transformation is a function that maps an input vector to an output vector such that each component of the output vector is the sum of constant multiples of the input vector components.
what is the constanst part mean
Linear algebra is a very dry field (imo) and it has been horribly abstracted beyond 3d space
a linear transformation itself is a function???
Just numeric multipliers. "Non-variable"
The multipliers won't be unknowns or functions
Yes
so actual numbers like 1,2,3...
Yeah, or-pi/13
can you maybe give me an example of a question so maybe i understand better
and explain what each part means when you type the question?
Um...
"Find a linear transformation matrix that maps [1,2,3]^T onto [2,4,6]^T."
Well hang on
That's too simple
"Find a linear transformation matrix that maps [1,2,3]^T onto [2,6,12]^T."
That means "Transpose"
I printed the vector as a row, so the T means it's a column vector
The transformation matrix is
$\begin{bmatrix}
2 & 0& 0 \
0 & 3 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 4
\end{bmatrix}$
Melvin Eugene Punymier
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 \
2 \
3
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
2 & 0& 0 \
0 & 3 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 4
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
2 \
6 \

is this right or am i completely wrong
I don't think that's the wording they're looking for tbh
what changes can i make?
They're more looking for a "name" of the type of relationship, for example, "linear" is an example, you could say variables (though, spoiler, not here!) are linearly related
Do you know any other types of relationship?
does N increase by a factor of 1.7 for each increase in t?
yeah exponential and power law, i think i got itt from here thank youu so much

small question
I want a restrict a function's x and y values to a circlular boundary
say f(x)=mx and I have a circle y2 + x2 = 36
how do I restrict f(x) so that it doesnt extend outside the 6 unit radius
if you want to find the appropriate restricted domain, you can solve for where the curves intersect
oh cool thanks
idk though ill do smth rq
ill be toggling the circle off eventually but I want to restrict the line to the circle
(and i dont know how to calclate intersection points ;-;)
if you want to do it in desmos you can just add {x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36}
didnt seem to work
it works on my side. make sure you enter the same circle equation you want to restrict it by and put it in the same box as the line equation
wait
fixed it
thanks

If P(x) is an odd function
Then can it be said that P(-x)= -P(x) ?
Yes
Please explain
Yes
This is the only fact
that is the definition of an odd function
But not even functions?
Looks symmetric
No
origin is a point
Ik that
Right
Good
Now see symmetry means
Wait imma draw
Points in 1st and 3rd quadrant
Are equidistant
From the origin
Yes
And points in 2nd and 4th quadrant are equidistant from the origin
This is what you can say is symmetry
Bout the origin
But cos x also looks symmetrical on both sides of origin
Ok take a point
In 1st and 3rd quad
And show that they are equidistant
,w plot cosx
Pi
Does it lie on the graph?
(-π,0) and(π,0) don't lie on the graph
Symmetry bout origin means
Ok
That graph in
1st and 3rd quadrant is similar
And graph in 2nd and 4th quadrant is similar
This comes from the equidistant fact
Oh understand it now
What if the equation has a constant term still can it be symmetric?
If the equation has a constant term
Like
f(x)=sinx+c
Now if u put -x in it
We get f(-x)=c-sinx
Now check yourself
f(x)=f(-x)?
,w plot sinx+2
See
It's not symmetric bout origin
It is symmetric bout (0,2)
But we consider the definition w.r.t origin
Even functions?
Even functions are those functions
Does this include the constant terms also?
Like in quadratoc functions
x^0 c is not an even term?
Are they considered odd or even?
They are not even nor odd
0 is the only function which is odd and even
Cz it has symmetry bout origin
,w plot 0
Symmetry bout origin
Okik
Can you see Q 15 ?
Yeah it has to be solved

So if you can then please do

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
Well fx can have any term of odd degree
x^9+x^7…..
Yes
is f(x)=x^5+x^3+x too a odd function?
Yea
is f(x)= sum of all odd powers of x is also a odd function?
Yes
So now can u tell is P(x) a odd or even function?
Odd
Good
Now can u answer this
Right
Odd
Yes I did that and solved the answer
Good
I’m thinking if there’s another way to solve this
So what doubt u have ?
Without using this concept
Oh
This
I’m thinking using only factor and remainder theorem
Can’t we just assume some random odd function as px
Let’s say it is ax^3 and box
Don't u think
U will get diff and?
Ans*
Like if I assume as
ax^7+bx^5
Is this not odd too?
And what about individual terms
Like ax^3
Ik
Let’s say we give px by x^2-9
That's why they have used remainder factor theorem
Divide**
Cz it does not relate with P(x)
Let the quotient be Q
Only the definition of P(x) in terms of (x^2-9)
And denominator be ax+b
See imma prove this see
Px= Q (x^2-9 )+ ax+b
,w (ax^3+bx^2+cx)/(x^2-9)
My guy
Is this not the only thing u do by remainder factor theorem?
This is the only way my guy
Yes
-a9+b
Yes
You are using the remainder factor only my guy
P(x)=Q(x)(x^2-9)+R(x)
This only comes from the definition of remainder factor theorem
Then u used the property of odd function
Did you learn all this in school?
No problem
Great
Good

b) Determine a approximate value for f(B) if B is of distance 0.01 from A in the direction where f is growing the fastest
Does someone know how i determine first of all "the direction where f is growing the fastest" ?
Are you familiar with the gradient operator?
Yes. I determined the gradient for the given function f in (a)
$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = cos(x+yz)(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{1/2} + sin(x+yz)\frac{(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{-1/2}}{2}2x \$
$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = cos(x+yz)z(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{1/2} + sin(x+yz)\frac{(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{-1/2}}{2}2y \$
$\frac{\partial f}{\partial z} = cos(x+yz)y(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{1/2} + sin(x+yz)\frac{(x^2+y^2+z^2)^{-1/2}}{2}2z$

But do you know what the gradient tells you about the function?
I'm not 100% sure but i'll try and explain as much as i can.
So what i know is that when we derive a function in 2d space for example f(x) we get a function which describes the increase/decrease at a given x value of a function.
I would imagine it works somewhat in the same sense with gradients where we derive wrt x,y and z and these new functions describe the increase/decrease of the function at a given point?
Wait
More specifically, it tells you the direction that f is increasing fastest
Which is exactly what you need
Perfect, so i have to utilize the gradient somehow to find the direction where it increases the fastest?
In 2D space we determine the fastest growing point by doing f'(x) = 0. Would this method work for gradients?
The gradient is the direction
Gradient tells you the steepest slope
wdym?
We don't though
Nabla f = ( del f / del x, del f / del y, del f / del z)
?
This is a matrix
Nabla is the name for the gradient symbol
$\grad f = [\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}]$
?

What do you mean no

This is what I wrote???
I've already computed the gradient for my given function
I'm just not entirely convinced i know what a gradient is anymore
Yeah but they didn't understand it
I was just explaining
Do we have a formal definition or explanation on what a gradient is?
It’s a vector that points in the direction of greatest change. 0 vector when evaluated at a local extrema
Gradient is a combination of derivatives in each axis that results the steepest slope in a function
What you have computed is the gradient asa vector field of f. So you want just a single direction which means you need to evaluate it at a point
What point do you think you should evaluate it at?
I’d agree
When i derive f(x) which results in f'(x). The new function f'(x) is a function that describes the functions increase/decrease at each point, right?
f’ describes the rate of change, yes
Altho gradient is a vector not a function
Right okay
So when i find the gradient. It works the same way as f'(x)? The rate of change at a given point wrt x y and z?
Which results in a direction?
The way we compute the gradient seems unrelated to its interpretation as the direction of steepest ascent. Here you can see how the two relate.

@glacial cairn Hey Nel
Are you online? :>
This video explains it well
"A gradient is a vector that points in the direction of the steepest increase of a function."
This is what i was looking for

Hello im not quite sure why in this solution b100 is written as b^100-2 x b2 instead of b^100-1 x b1 which gives a completley diffrent answer
here is the orignial question
you mean q^(100-2) * b2 right?
the reason is that b2, b3, ... form a geometric sequence
doesn't include b1

did they get the answer
by using determinant and then solving for k?
step 2 is the determinant
Which I assume they solved for det(A) = 0 to get the k values

can anyone help on how answer c and d was solved?
or any yt video explaining it would also be very help full
@ashen tinsel Has your question been resolved?
The exponent outside of the brackets can be distributed to all terms within the brackets
And the identity which is used is
(x^a)^b = x^(a*b)
Does this help you?
thank you

Hi, why are they capitalizing the function here? is F'(x) just the derivative of f(x)?
or does it mean something else
derivative of integral should be the function itself ..??
Seems to be some kind of misprint
Or I must be missing something
It’s not a convention or a standard notation of any sort I believe
But a lot of texts use it to denote the anti derivative

what is this
Well you missed the coefficients
And also
You wouldn’t write it that way
You’re putting in the limits
What you’ve written is integral of the integral
i’m confused
idk im new to this
wrong
idk what im doing
it’s ok
if you found the anti derivative which is wrong
you don’t need to write the integral again
oh ok
dx
what is dx 😰
oh no
How did u integrate the function without knowing what is dx
Bro what are u doing genuinely
idk the course im doing is weird
damn xander calm down
@golden verge can u teach me rizz
okay
The definitions and shit
facts preach ‼️
Then touch these problems

ya dont touch them too early
Yeah
pause
ill touch them a lot later
so I shouldnt take ap calculus if last year I took geo
idk how often did u touch the problems
nah you should bro
💯
I say fuck it bro do it
never seen a ap calc problem
I can tell you get this
5 is nothing
