shall I times this by 2?
No, 1/2 is added to x so you subtract 1/2 from each of the zeroes
I see
I get that now
but how about if it was
(2x + 1)
or
(1/2x +1)
As in, y = g((1/2)x + 1)?
yea sir
You would shift the graph of g(x) 1 unit to the left and scale it vertically by a factor of 1/2
will the graph get wider or thinner?
Wider. Sorry it wasn't clear from what I initially said
ahh I see ty
quick question
if a question was like “factor x^2 + 5x -3”
am I allowed to do x(x+5) -3
Usually factoring means you factor the whole equation. This does not give you any information about the zeroes.
i’m very confused on how to work with this
You can start by factoring 3
i’m always use to (x+2)(x-2)(x+3) etc etc
okay
So $f(x) = 3(x^3 - 3x - 2)$
3(x^3-9x-2)
isn’t it x^3
rays
Right
idk what to do next im always use to x^2 has the highest degree
Does it ask you to factor it?
no but I thought it’ll help
You can get the factored form by looking at the graph.
so (x+2)^2(x-4)
Well the x-axis is scaled by 1/2, so $f(x) = 3(x + 1)^2(x-2)$. But yeah that's the right idea
rays
But really for the questions you don't need the factored form
ah
how do u know it’s scaled by 1/2
Expand your equation. You should get something like $x^3 - 12x - 16$, which isn't quite right.
rays
how shall I get it into the same form 3x^3 - 9x - 6
Just adjust the zeroes to be at -1 and 2
ah okay

linear algebra question (change of basis), so I got this example but I have no idea how to correlates to eachother? How do they even have 300 and 2?
In the S basis, if you take 300 of the first vector and 1 of the first vector, you get the point (300, 1)
In the B basis, if you take 2 of the first vector and 1 of the second vector you get (200+100, 0+1) which is again (300, 1)
so you add the vectors from the basis?
Yes, and you scale them according to the coordinates given by the coordinate vector
What about the last example
-1
How did he get there
Well if you take zero of (1, 0) and add 1 of (0, 1) then you get (0, 1)
If you add -1 of (100, 0) (which gives (-100, 0)) to 1 of (100, 1) then you get (0, 1)
Therefore you get the same point
thanks

Hello friends, I'm having a very big issue with finding a general formulae.
I have this:
But no matter what I try, I can't find a good exact formulae.
Is there something wrong so far in my analysis?

$$x+y-z=2$$
$$x^2+y^2-z^2=2$$
$$xy=\frac{1}{2}z^2$$
if $z>0$ find $z$
Skill_Issue
so subtituting third into second equation (x-y)^2=2
so x-y=±sqrt2
thats where im stuck
Square the first equation
x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy-2xz-2yz
2+z^2+z^2+z^2-2z(x+y)-2=0
uhh
hear me out
x^2+y^2-2xy=2
x^2+y^2+2xy=2+2z^2
(x+y)^2=2+2z^2
ugh but this becomes ugly
oh im stupid
2+z^2+z^2+z^2-2z(2+z)-2=0
5z^2-4z=0
z(5z-4)=0
ugh but these are the ans choices
wait no
z^2-4z
z(z-4)=0

determine the x-intercepts of the graph of the polynomial function x^4 - 29x^2 + 100
ok, so
Do you know how to factor the polynomial u^2 - 29u + 100? If so, from there, can you factor your original more?
no i do not
im not sure which method to use
im thinking product sum but i cant find the two numbers i need to add to get the 29 and multiply to 100

Also, AOPS 😍
48 is not an answer
yes
bijection means injective and surjective function
why would that like exclude 48 though
like from what im seeing the other solutions exclude because n choose 2 is n! / (n-2)! * 2!
which simplifies to n(n-1) / 2 but i dont see why you can see it immediately excludes 48 from being in the answer
bijection here is a bit more formal
intuitively
since each player played against a pair at most once
and exactly once
for n players
there is N choose 2 games
48 is not an n choose 2
so D is elimated
wait how do u know its not
Bijection is stated as this formally that the two must be equal
do u have to factorize 48
do math
that can work
look at 10 C 2 and 11 C 2
in a very informal fashion, it just isn't
i suck at aops and competitive math so i can help pretty much up to here, i hope this answers the question?
bijection in this context just means the two numbers must be equal
👍
now close so i can open 😈

Hello, I'm confused about how i would describe the end behaviour of a rational function using limitnotation
Sorry for the rough sketch but how would i describe the end behaviour of this using limit notation
I'm just confused about where to put my U and how to properly write it down
End behavior is the limit at infinity or negative infinity
If the horizontal asymptote is y=1, you can say
$\li{x}{\infty} f(x) = 1$
tatpoj
and likewise for negative infinity
I'm not sure what you mean about the U.. do you mean the domain maybe?
I mispoke on that I'm sorry
all good
I forgot limit notation and domain are different
Could I write down what I think the limit notation could be for this and see if I'm understanding it?
to describe the end behavior?
yes
Sure, but I kind of already gave you the answer for that one lol
I'm just confused because there's 3 different parabolas and I'm not sure how to describe them all
oh, end behavior just means at the extreme left and right ends of the graph
so if either of parabolas go infinitely to the right or left then it would be infinite on both end?
The vertical asymptotes are not end behavior
Wait, just to be clear, can you show exactly what the question is asking?
Ye no problem I second
Well it's asking to analyze and my teacher says that means describing the end behaviour and the domains
It's not specifically asking for anything
Okay, so the end behavior just means what does the graph do as you go all the way to the left, and all the way to the right
ok I think i understand that
In other words, as x approaches -infinity and +infinity
so it's just related to the x axis not the y axis
Right yeah
Ok I think I understand now
So like, for your function, as x goes farther and farther to the right (toward infinity), the y is going closer and closer to 1
which is what this means
as x goes to infinity, the function goes to 1
on the left, you would say $\li{x}{-\infty} f(x) = 1$
tatpoj
as x goes toward -infinity, the function also approaches 1
so I also put down what it approaches?
that's all you're putting down, that's the whole thing
is that the function is approaching 1 on both sides
on the +infinity side and the -infinity side
ok and what about if it's a slant Asymptote
and x - 5 is the slant
and as it goes to the left it's also approaching the slant
How would i describe that?
That means as x goes left, y is going up, correct?
yes
It's not approaching any particular value like 1, it's just going up, toward infinity
So we could say $\li{x}{-\infty} f(x) = \infty$
tatpoj
as x goes toward -infinity, the function goes toward infinity
And this would only apply to slants right? because they do not have a constant value?
well not just a slant asymptote, but also something like just f(x) = x^2
It doesn't have a slant asymptote, but it does also approach infinity at both ends
Just just to recap
When describing the end behaviour in limit notation
I should describe which infinity it's approaching
and the horizontal asymptote that it's approaching
Yes, but just to clarify, the infinity under the lim just describes whether you're talking about the left or right end
You should describe both
yes
Yeah, you got it
and for slant it's just infinity because x increases or decreases with y

Can anyone help me with this? I figured out that the amplitude or A equals 4, but i'm not certain how to find b c or d
The amplitude isn't 4 btw
Oh...
do you know how to find it properly then?
This might be helpful
Wait isn't the amplitude half of the height covered by the graph
And the graph ranges from 5 to -3 which is 8 units?
its going from 5 to -1?
yes
Can you help me find the phase shift because i don't really know how to do that
do you know what sin(0) is?
u might find it helpful to find the centre of motion first
once u find the centre of motion, try to shift your graph such that it starts at the centre of motion when x=0
^
im saying centre of motion because im assuming this is simple harmonic question but it doesnt rly matter what u call it
@weak charm Has your question been resolved?
0?
i'm not really sure how to find that though
centre of motion is max + min divided by 2
or the midpoint between the maximum and minimum
what you can do to find the shift is through interpreting where the sine graph does hit 0
giving you how much the graph is shifted to the left or the right
So wouldn't it be (5+1)/2=3
The sine graph hits 0 at 2 pi and -2pi?
wait im confused how does y=2 help though
once u find the centre of motion u should realise that is where your phase shift should shift towards
u have to find a phase shift such that at x=0, y=2

A set of vectors is said to be orthogonal if the dot product all possible double pairs of the elements of the set is 0
the statement also says the sets are orthogonal
i would suggest noting how all 5C2 are accounted for
For all i,j
this suggestion also works
you'll probably think it's obvious once you see it
xi . yj, for all i and j
does this cover all possibilities?
yes?
what about x1 . x2
No. But that's already given to be orthogonal
right
so the proof should combine those
so the entire proof isn't a single application of a single definition, ig

Let T be a set of 5 distinct positive integers with a maximum of at most 9. Prove that the sum of the elements in all the nonempty subsets of T cannot all be different.
so obviously this problem is asking for pigeonhole principle, and theres 31 non empty subsets of T, and the maximum possible sum is 35
but the # of actual achievable sums is less than 31, which I need to have to use pigeonhole principle
but im confused on how I can show that the real # of achievable sums is less than 31 without brute forcing each possible combination
you only need to worry about subsets of size two, something will go wrong

hrlp
Yeah don't worry
mhm?
so you're answer is not correct
If the interval you wrote is correct, it means that if I pick like x = 0 the function gives a non negative value, right?
it could be -8 all the way to 6, so it really depends
??
oh yeah mb
mhm?
im just asking to see if what I wrote was correct
I mean, can you explain with your own words why you answered that interval?
so would I just do everything greater than 0
@naive stump
What do you mean?
the red line is what ur answer is rn
oh wait but thats not how u do it
yeah, I know that
so can u find any point on the red line where y > 0
no??
exactly
ok, so the question is asking you to find all the points where y is greater than 0
nope
what u did there was just saying netagive infinity is smaller than -8 and infinity is bigger thn 6
the question is asking you to find all points of f(x) where the y value is bigger than 0
leme run it back
so look at the curve and find where the y values are greater than 0
yeah im doing that rn
hint: the blue lines
u don't need the +-infinity
ok
so just replace them with x
just this?
yes
k
and x<=8
yes
ok so this is correct?
yes
yes, that's correct
ok
for the previous one I put "," instead of or and it fucked me up a point
why does it matter
that's just what the software wants
it's not really your fault
higher's secret twin brother
the other part is correct though
yes
but doesnt it still make sense?
the arrow to the left just indicates that the function continues like that
you always read functions from left to right
no

k=2n+3 how to find all n for which k is prime?
n is from natural numbers
Isn't it theoretically infinite
2n+3 covers all odd numbers and hence all primes except for 2
not 3
or 1 for that matter
unless you say 0 is a natural number
Yes it definitely is but is there some notation for n that would produce only primes k
$n \in {\all a : 2a+3 \text{ is prime}}$

i dont know how to start
I would be setting up a system of three equations to create a function to sub in 5 into.
it is given that the leading coefficients is 3 so you don't need the fourth equation. I imagine there's a better way to go about it though
nop
I believe u can do it like this
And then using the leading coefficient fact u can trivially finish off the problem
I believe
Then plug in 5

how did u get that expression?
William I believe this method requires more than 3 lines considering u need SO many eqs
Well well well a star I have seen a similar problem before
It just has to be A polynomial that works right and has leading coefficient four

@sterile lantern Hello, If you want my help, let's meet friend's room
We notice that the first three terms are double the square numbers
So we create a 4th power polynomial with roots that will give you zero and add 2x^2 to get our desired pattern

thats what im saying, how do you know the pattern will hold for x=5 too
William Robert where is it
i didnt say it is, im just asking how do you know the pattern holds for x=5 too
Pretty much
The expression given by me and another expression in the problem, you can get the coefficients.
To be honest, the owner of this channel has sent their question in a bunch of already occupied channels
I want help
doesnt mean you or someone else should do the same
that is 4-variable linear equations
I literally never said that, but the fact is they've sent it in, what, about 5 other channels, and they're still doing it? They're more of a concern
yes, which is done by what william said
what you did was just deduce a polynomial based on the pattern
but how do you know the pattern holds for x=5 too

I have a question, if $h(x) =f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)$ where f is odd and g is even, why is h even? and what happens if f is even and g is odd
water beam
h(-x)=f(g(-x)) and now use that f is odd and g is even. you want to get back to h(x)
+1
g(-x) = g(x), so the input f receives if you send -x is already g(x)
so in total h is even
if f is even and g odd, then f receives -g(x)
so it's the same as f(g(x))
and once again h is even
to come back to your example specifically, no matter what type of function f is (can be neither odd nor even)
if g is even
then f composed with g is even
ohhhhh okay
u can try this with random functions that are simple just to convince yourself
wait so say f is odd so f(-x) = -f(x), g is even g(-x)=g(x)
h(-x) = f(g(-x))
h(-x) = f(g(x)) so what do i do then?
f(g(x)) = h(x)
therefore h(-x) = h(x)
see that we never had to use the fact that f was odd
so f can be any function at all
wouldn't have changed that "f(g(x))" is even
gotcha
i did my hsc math adv last year ahead of time and if u ever come across questions like this in the exam, if its not multi choice ,they generally accept diagrams to supplement your answer as well
i bought my paper back and they accept diagram solutions
water beam
and if both f and g were odd does that mean h is even or odd ?
o shit u did hsc last year?
are u accelerated or something
damn nice
layla
yes if both are odd then h is odd

f(g(-x)) = f(-g(x)) = -f(g(x))
what do u think is the hardest 2u paper?
i might give it a crack tmrw
james ruse trial paper and north sydney boys
the actual HSC papers are slightly easier than those 2
i heard 2020 hsc was pretty hard
HSC 2u is becoming a bit more conceptual i think, what i mean by that is i think they favour thinking over just mechanical work
so just be sure u cover all ur bases
people think this years 2u paper is gonna be harder than last years since last years was easy
i rlly suck at finance and stats
yeah last year was quite easy
stats and probability should definitely be ur focus
are finance questions all the same format?
they llook pretty similar
like across the years
finance questions tend to be just sequences and series which are generally kinda the same but just practise reading the wording
if they are different, it would just be more layers
i see
like
maybe they change it into 1st 10 yrs the interest rate is XXX, but after 10yrs their account savings inncreased to a higher rate etc.
finance questions are more or less the same once u get sufficient practise
also i would recommend having some understanding of integral inequality or inequalities derived from calculus results although they are very rare to appear in 2U
integral and diff calc is my strong point so im hoping for this years paper to be a lot of calc 🤣
im aware u are time poor(as i am too T=T) so just do whatever is most time efficient
again tho, just be prepared to see less 'mechanical work' and more conceptual questions
at least the shift is pretty clear for 4U
yep
i wonder what this years optimisation question will be
i bet nesa is cooking something gnarly up
ya only 3 kids in my year does 4u and it looks super hard
depends on teacher and how much time u are willing to dedicate it really
their 4u teacher is pretty good and passionate so im sure theyre fine
i have a good teacher so i find this subject pretty chill
hes been teaching 4u for many years
calc in 4u looks fun tho
love integrals
the only 4u knowledge i have is integral related otherwise i know nothing lol
like these kind of questions are kinda more favoured by math advanced now
they aren't hard but just not something ppl would be used to
ive never seen any wuestion similar to that 😭
give it a crack, u might find it easier than u imagined it to be
tbh a lot of hsc for math at least, is a resilience exercise
if u dont crumble to pressure of being unable to solve a question u will generally do well in math for hsc
ya i think a lot of it is time stress but 3hrs should be enough granted u dont spend too long on one q
im sure u will be fine
at the end of the day its just one exam and u are done with it
u dont need perfect marks for good contribution for math advanced
yep
realistically im spending too much time on 4u but im trying for a state rank (probably not going to get it lol)
do u have any teachers in ur school that marks HSC?
is ur cohort really good?
i would say the top end of my current cohort is quite good
i know one of my teachers is doing legal studies this year but thats about it
3 of them besides me are contending for state rank as well
ah ok, my math advanced teacher for accelerated class was a hsc marker so he kinda showed us the marking guidelines for 2023 hsc
u would be surprised how little u could write to get parital marks
so if u cant solve a queston
at least write something
usually even the smallest progression in the question might result u being able to get a mark
yeah thats what my math teacher always tells me
they do mistake carry forward marks too right
yes
cool cool
as long as the mistakes aren't egregious
yep
the general rule of thumb is that if ur mistake doesnt simplify the question completely, then the carry on is accepted
but that pretty much never happens
gotcha
hmm anyhow, stay on top of probability and stats, ive heard a lot of 2u students find those topics harder than the rest
im sure u probably know thsc website as well so theres always that
english advanced, 3u and 4u math, modern history, chemistry (math 2u in 2023 but it doesn't count towards my hsc anymore)
i will be honest, chem has become some brain dead now
lol how do u mean
more often than not, the question assesses your wording rather than your knowledge
nesa verbs T=T
anyhow, close the channel if u dont have more questions, feel free to add me on disc if u have other questions about 2u math
dont want to hog the channels for too long since theres only 3 other free ones rn
aight, enjoy rest of ur evening studying
LOL
i just finishd memrising
english trials was traumatising for me
i think 1 or 2 of our students from our cohort is gunning for SR
or at least has a good chance
im not cooking for english
😭
is it a private school>
or selective
public
ah ok
but our school came in top 10th in the state
ive generally heard private girl schools especialyl are really good at english
for eng adv last year
some of the north shore ones have 70% band 6 rate for english advanced
from the ruse kids ik, they arne't too sure either
school ranking is baesd on % of students with % of band 6 rates
from what ive heard, ruse has really strong top end
but the bottom end isn't doing too great
ruse is strong all round but they got dethroned because their english game was weak
its not based on average atar which is a bit silly but thats not really important
how do u feel about hsc tho
are u comfortably hitting ur atar goal (if ur school gives a predicted)
i really want a 90 or above
nice nice thats a good goal
and its gonna be scraping really close because legal is dead weight like ive actually gotten cooked in that subject so i need to b6 english and b6 physics if i want a chance of getting 90
if i dont b6 both of those it actually might be joever
what u planning to study in uni (or other things)
get physics degree so i can study astronomy
also dont feel awkward if u want to discontinue the conversation and go back to ur studies
🫡 high achiever
haha its allg
wbu?
im doing math and comp sci
ah yeah nice
or just only math if i enroll into oxford but i dont think im going to do that well in the entrance test so probably not getting in
comp sci is very popular nowadays
professionally homeless
wowie oxford
ivy leagues huh
GL
wrong country but same thing
that sounds tough
(im not making it)
math dux for last year is now at oxford i think
nah realistically im not making oxford, my math isn't good enough
damn thats quite impressive
ya angie wang
well yeah sr1 for 4u maths will do that for u ig
and she was like sr2 for 3u or someting
i tried last years paper and wasn't close to perfect
i believe in u and in the scaling 🫡
im not stressing too much for hsc
its kinda like whatever at this point
i felt so burnt out after trials
lmao
been brain dead and autopilot for past month
real
anyhow, im gonna og back to doing english advanced
its the only subject im procrastinating on
haha goodluck
(anchoring my atar)
are u hoping to b6 eng?
hopefully but i htink my school gave me predicted to be tail end of b6
like right on the edge between b5 and b6
i got dumpstered in paper 2
for trials
50 💀
out of
i think 200 some ppl
damn thats a lot of people
opposite for me
i was a lot less well paced in paper 1
i damaged my hand nerves when i was younger and + i have a bad writing position and habit so longer exams are bad for me
oof
my hand gets sore really quickly
u can get special provisions no?
damn really?
its not that big of a problem
it just affects my handwriting towards the end of the exam which can be annoying
oph yeah hand writing is a big thing
realest comment ive gotten from my english teacher was that it looks like a dog's breakfast towards the end of my paper
LMAO
my conclusio nwas probably 30% legible
my old ancient history teacher was a hsc marker for 10+ years
and he always comes back to handwriting
hand writing not doing me too hot
i get marker comments on my handwriting after every task pretty much lol
and always urges you to not piss off the marker because the marker will be reading the script on a small screen at 9pm when they just wnna get off work and drink wine
anyways im probably gonna head to sleep early so i can get an early start tomorrow morning
good night to you then
yep gn to u whenever u sleep
goodl uck for english advanced if i dont see u around in here
gl with english
ty, and im gonna need the luck very much so
ill prob shoot a dm for a math question one day as well haha
mod C stimulus' are always emotion related so keep that in mind
i will head to sleep after doing a chem paper, anyhow, good night

im trying to get the annualized returns out of this absolute returns but I dont know the second year absolute returns
what formula do I do to get the second years absolute return?
1. Find the Total Return: If you don't have the total return for all three years, calculate it from the absolute return of the first and third years using:
(1+Rtotal)=(1+R1st year)×(1+R3rd year)
(1+Rtotal)=(1+R1st year)×(1+R3rd year)
2. Solve for the 2nd Year: Once you have the overall return for the three years, you can rearrange the formula to solve for R2nd yearR2nd year:
1+R2nd year=(1+Rtotal)(1+R1st year)×(1+R3rd year)
1+R2nd year=(1+R1st year)×(1+R3rd year)(1+Rtotal)
Calculate R2nd yearR2nd year: Subtract 1 from both sides to find the absolute return of the second year.
would these be correct? in solving my problem

Proof check / advice on multivariate, vector-valued, mean value inequality
some existing questions that i am unsure of are the meaning of nabla_x in the proof statement? i assume it means that we are fixing time and considering the gradient along the spatial coordaintes. furthermore, the main step i am unsure of is the bound from the integral to the supremum. is uniformy boundedness in time enough?

If A ∩ B ≠ 0 then is it mutually exclusive or independent
Neither
Then? What is it
How do I know if something is mutually exclusive or not and what about if something is independent
Mutually exclusive means that "A ∩ B = 0"
Independent means that P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)
Ohh
I thought if there were elements within A intersect B then they are mutually exclusive
Cuz mutually exclusive means that A and B effect each other right
dependent mean that they effect eachother
Mutually exclusive means that they can't happen at the same time

Ok it's just a general question but I wanted to ask if anyone knows bus stop method of division except the bigger number is outside and the smaller number is inside ?
My teacher did talk about it today but I couldn't take note because of his pacing
It was also kinda confusing in the way he did it
Any help helps
Could you give an example problem?
Okk brb
Something like this but you would switch the number placements
And then like get 0s to carry on ??? I got really lost
Yeah theres 4 ways of divsion off the top of my head
Firstly are you familar with quotient, remainder, and divsior?
I know remainder and divisor but quotient no
Quotient is what you get after dividing. Usually whole number
And you are familar that fractions are just division?
You dont need to recall the terms but its useful to know, the numerator is the top number and denominator the bottom number
Yeah fractions
Ok to make your long divsion easier
