you’re stuck?

boreal epoch
#

yes

severe pond
#

so you knew how to combine the first two logs though

#

log(x) + log(y) = log(xy)

covert yoke
#

Combine the next logs

#

Also might help to simplify the 9^(7/3). That's 3^(14/3) = 3^4 * 3^(2/3) = 81 cbrt(9)

We can rewrite this equation as

10x+y=120
60x+y=220

#

Is that the right way of thinking about it? or would it be easier a different way?

fallen fulcrum
#

If someone could confirm this is correct, and whether or not there is an easier way to think about this i would highly appreciate it

safe radishBOT
#

@fallen fulcrum Has your question been resolved?

#

That is the right way to solve it, but that's not quite what the question is looking for.

You found that the price of each unit (x) is 2, but you also need to find the fixed price (y) and form the final equation.

To do that just plug it in one of the previous equations, such as 10x + y = 120

substitute x = 2

10×2 + y = 120
20 + y = 120
y = 100

So x = 2 and y = 100

This tell us that the cost is £100 pounds and £2 for each unit, therefore, the equation relating the cost to the number of products produced is:

Cost = (N° of products) × £2 + £100

fallen fulcrum
#

Ahhhh ok, so y is the fixed cost of the business existing whereas x would be the additional cost of making products

austere cypress
#

Yes, that's right

fallen fulcrum
#

Thanks man!

balmy goblet
#

does anyone know how to factorise this expression easily ?

balmy goblet
#

developping the expression

#

then factorising is annoying as hell

#

well i dont have the tools for it actually

severe pond
#

$\frac{(4x^3 + 18x)(x^4-6x^2+9) - (x^4+9x^2)(4x^3 +12x)}{(x^2+3)^4}$

#

this?

balmy goblet
#

in the first parenthesis

flat frigateBOT
severe pond
#

that good?

balmy goblet
#

sorry momma came to talk

severe pond
#

question, is this from a derivative or something?

balmy goblet
#

the derivate of another function

severe pond
#

well i think there will probably be an easier way

#

!xy

safe radishBOT
#

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.

balmy goblet
#

well it is in french

#

but basically

severe pond
#

just show the original function

balmy goblet
#

you gotta derivate this

severe pond
severe pond
balmy goblet
#

and i got the thing i first sent

severe pond
#

ok then let’s restart because you just made it messier

#

you’re familiar with the quotient rule yes

balmy goblet
#

well i used the property from (u/v)

balmy goblet
balmy goblet
severe pond
#

$(\frac{u}{v})’ = \frac{vu’ - uv’}{v^2}$

flat frigateBOT
severe pond
#

now

balmy goblet
#

i'm not gonna lie i kinda struggle with derivating composed functions

balmy goblet
severe pond
#

have you tried logarithmic differentiation

#

it’s much easier

balmy goblet
#

what is that 😮

#

it looks hard tho lol

severe pond
#

it’s essentially designed for this sort of problem

#

suppose $y = \frac{x^4+9x^2}{(x^2+3)^2}$

flat frigateBOT
severe pond
#

then

#

$\ln(y) = \ln(\frac{x^4+9x^2}{(x^2+3)^2})$

flat frigateBOT
balmy goblet
severe pond
#

you know implicit differentiation right

severe pond
balmy goblet
#

oh we haven't studied that yet

severe pond
#

logarithms?

balmy goblet
#

nope

#

we will but for now we didnt

severe pond
#

you’re doing calculus but don’t know what a log is

#

it’s the inverse of exponential functions

balmy goblet
#

well i know how it works

#

we use it in chemistry

severe pond
#

yea that’s true for ph and all that

balmy goblet
#

yes

severe pond
#

-log

balmy goblet
#

but how do you write it ?

severe pond
#

wdym

balmy goblet
#

like the function ?

#

like log = ?

severe pond
#

do you know the function e^x

balmy goblet
balmy goblet
severe pond
balmy goblet
#

so it is 1/e^x ?

severe pond
#

given an input x, ln(x) tells you the exponent e must be raised to to get x

balmy goblet
#

ah yes ok

#

ok ok i get it

severe pond
#

and you don’t know implicit differentiation either?

balmy goblet
#

no...

severe pond
#

that’s e^-x

severe pond
#

i highly recommend you go look on youtube

balmy goblet
#

alright...

severe pond
#

for implicit differentiation, logarithms, and logarithmic differentiation

#

but for now

balmy goblet
#

but then how do i solve the exercise the hard way

severe pond
#

we can do it the tedious way

balmy goblet
#

cause i suppose he doesnt want us to use you method

balmy goblet
severe pond
#

$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)^2(4x^3+18x) - (x^4+9x^2)(4x(x^2+3))}{(x^2+3)^4}$

you can cancel one factor of x^2+3 immediately

balmy goblet
#

oh wow

#

i did not see that

severe pond
#

which gives us

balmy goblet
#

i find it kinda hard cause you gotta be careful that nothing can be simplified on each step

severe pond
#

$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)(4x^3+18x) - (x^4+9x^2)(4x)}{(x^2+3)^3}$

#

the (x^2 + 3) should dissapear right

#

oh yeah no ok sorry

severe pond
#

$f’’(x) = \frac{(x^2+3)(2x)(2x^2+9) - 4x^3(x^2+9)}{(x^2+3)^3}$

flat frigateBOT

knief

(You may edit your message to recompile.)

severe pond
#

hmm from here it’s probably best to just distribute through

#

i don’t see anything else to do

balmy goblet
#

so what do you get when distributing

severe pond
#

$f’’(x) = \frac{(4x^5+30x^3+54x) - (4x^5+36x^3)}{(x^2+3)^3}$

flat frigateBOT
#

knief
Compile Error! Click the errors reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

severe pond
#

then the 4x^5 cancels

#

and 30x^3 - 36x^3 is -6x^3

#

so

#

$f’’(x) = \frac{-6x^3+54x}{(x^2+3)^3}$

balmy goblet
#

well i think the simplifying part isn't easy to see

severe pond
#

don’t expand things immediately

#

notice how i waited until nothing could’ve been factored further

#

to expand

balmy goblet
#

yes i see

#

i will try to be more careful with it

I have a probability of getting a VIP when opening one crate, which is 0.5%. I want to calculate the probability of getting 4 or more VIPs when opening multiple crates.
So say I got 1000 crates and I open them all in a row, how do I calculate the chance I get 4 or more VIPs?
I found the formula for the binomial probability: P(X = k) = comb(N, k) * p^k * (1 − p)^(N − k)
I used this formula to calculate the probability for 750 crates and got approximately 19%. However, when I increased the probability to 1%, the result dropped to about 7%, which seems counterintuitive.
I suppose that is due to the formula being X = k, so it doesn't account for me getting more than 4 VIPs

@dire harness Has your question been resolved?

What did u do to find the probability?

#

@dire harness

knotty pier
#

Mhmm

dire harness
#

I use the formula I provided earlier for X = 1, X = 2, X = 3

knotty pier
#

Mhm

dire harness
#

see the probability for X < 4

#

And do 1 - that probability

knotty pier
#

Yes

dire harness
#

so that's P(X>=4)

knotty pier
#

But X=0?

oh

Anyone that could point out my mistake? Trying to prove that $E(g(X)) \approx g(u)$ by approximating the probability function $p_x(x) \approx p_x(u) - (x-u)p(x)$. Using the law of the unconcious statistician, I tried to evaluate the expected value $E(g(X))= \sum_k g(k)p_x(k) \approx \sum_k g(k)(p_x(u) +(k-u)p'_x(k)) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(u)k -g(k)up'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(k) k-g(k)\sum_k(kp_x(k))p'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x(u) -g(k)p_x(u)kp'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) $

flat frigateBOT
novel iron
#

I used the fact that $\sum_k g(k)up'(k) = \sum_k g(k)\sum_k kp(k) p'(k) = \sum_k g(k)kp'(x)$

flat frigateBOT
novel iron
#

Since the sum of the probability function is just 1

safe radishBOT
#

@novel iron Has your question been resolved?

novel iron

Corrected: $E(g(X))= \sum_k g(k)p_x(k) \approx \sum_k g(k)(p_x(u) +(k-u)p'_x(k)) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(u)k -g(k)up'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x'(k) k-g(k)\sum_k(kp_x(k))p'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u) + g(k)p_x(u)k-g(k)p_x(u)kp'_x(k) = \sum_k g(k)p_x(u)$

how do i solve this

austere cypress
#

You need to draw the lines and find the one with the smallest slope

#

f'(A), f'(B) and f'(F) represent the slope of the lines tangent to the points at A, B and F respectively.

[f(C) - f(B)]/(C - B) and [f(F) - f(A)]/(F - A) are rise over run and represent the slope of the lines that pass through the points at C and B and the points at F and A, respectivelly

#

you need to draw the lines and see which is pointing downwards the most

scenic bough
#

f prime of f?

#

@austere cypress

austere cypress
#

you can see here that the line tangent to the point at F has the smallest slope

drifting ridge
#

Can i get help with this task?

safe radishBOT
drifting ridge
#

find the asymptotes

#

i know that when the denominator is = 0 theres a vertical asymptote

shy lynx
#

Yeah so that gives you the vertical asymptote

#

Do they also want horizontal?

drifting ridge
drifting ridge
#

my friend wrote it like this:

#

but idk how to prove that

#

32/0 ?

#

how is that infinity

#

@shy lynx

hidden gyro
#

I don’t think it has a horizontal asymptote

drifting ridge
shy lynx
drifting ridge
#

because it's a grade difference?

shy lynx
#

a rational function p(x)/q(x) has a vertical asymptote at a if p(a) =/= 0 and q(a) = 0

#

that's how I'd justify it

hidden gyro
# drifting ridge why

if I recall for rational any function
a(x)/b(x)
where a(x) and b(x) are polynomials
if a(x) degree is greater then the degree of b(x) then it does not have a horizontal asymptote

drifting ridge
#

hmm i see

shy lynx
#

but it can still have oblique asymptotes

drifting ridge
#

through polynomial division?

#

I got this but I’m stuck here

hidden gyro
shy lynx
# drifting ridge through polynomial division?

to find an oblique asymptote first calculate lim_{x to inf} g(x)/x
if that exists call it a
then calculate lim_{x to inf} g(x) - ax
call that b
then your oblique asymptote is ax+b
If either limit fails to exist then there is no oblique asymptote
(then do the same process for x -> -inf)

shy lynx
#

Write down g(x)/x

#

calculate its limit at inf the same way you would when calculating a horizontal asymptote

drifting ridge
gilded pine
#

the horizontal asymptotes are where the function stretches out to the left or right and seems to settle on a specific y-value

#

for example, this part of y=1/x has a horizontal asymptote at y=0 and a vertical one at x=0

drifting ridge
gilded pine
#

see what value your function approaches as x gets higher and higher

#

oh oblique asymptotes

#

idk how to do those nvm

drifting ridge
#

i know you need to do polynomial division

#

@shy lynx i need help

shy lynx
#

Polynomial division should also work

#

In this case you get $g(x) = -x - 7 - \frac{32}{x-5}$. (I cheated and asked WolframAlpha to do that for me.)

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

shy lynx
#

So the slant asymptote is -x-7

drifting ridge
#

what do you do about the last 32

shy lynx
#

The point is that that doesn't matter, since that part goes to 0 as x -> inf

drifting ridge
#

where is the infinity in the equation

#

also is this correct to check if it has a vertical asymptote?

drifting ridge
#

so you check by placing x to infinity if it's a oblique asymptote?

shy lynx
#

Yeah so $g(x) - (-x-7) = \frac{32}{5-x}$ which goes to $0$ as $x \to \infty$.

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

shy lynx
#

So it satisfies the definition

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

Because you did the polynomial division and got $-x-7$ with a remainder of $32$. What that means is that $g(x) = -x - 7 - \frac{32}{x-5}$. Then you just subtract $-x-7$ from both sides.

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
#

is a considered (-x - 7) ?

shy lynx
#

a is -1, b is -7

#

(wikipedia uses the letters m,n instead of a,b but it's the same thing)

drifting ridge
#

but when you do polynomial division

#

wont you get the answer

#

@shy lynx

#

im stuck here

#

im trying to understand but im stuck here

shy lynx
#

yes you do get that

drifting ridge
#

and when you do lim x -> infinity or lim x-> -infinity you get 0? in 32/5-x

shy lynx
#

yeah

drifting ridge
#

what now

#

i have -x - 7

#

what do i do with that

shy lynx
#

that's your asymptote

#

at infinity

#

for -infinity the exact same logic works

#

so it's also an oblique asymptote at -infinity

drifting ridge
#

@shy lynx

shy lynx
#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

why would it be +

drifting ridge
#

idk

#

but why wouldnt it be if you mind me asking?

shy lynx
#

subtract (-x-7) from both sides

drifting ridge
#

why

shy lynx
#

what do you get

drifting ridge
#

but why do you subtract

shy lynx
#

Because we want one side to look like g(x) - (ax + b)

shy lynx
drifting ridge
#

but wont the whole equation change if you remove it?

shy lynx
#

you subtract from both sides, you still have a valid equation

drifting ridge
#

from both sides how does that work

shy lynx
#

it's algebra

#

just like if I have 3x+5=8 then I can subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 3

drifting ridge
#

g(x) - (-x - 7) = (-x - 7) + 32/5-x - (- x -7)

#

like that=?

shy lynx
#

no

drifting ridge
#

but im moving it over the = ?

shy lynx
#

g(x) = (-x - 7) + 32/(5-x)
===>
g(x) - (-x - 7) = (-x - 7) + 32/(5-x) - (-x - 7)
===>
g(x) - (-x - 7) = 32/(5-x)

drifting ridge
#

forgot to add the last part

#

is it right now?

shy lynx
#

yeah

#

then the (-x-7) and - (-x-7) cancel

drifting ridge
#

g(x) - (-x - 7) = 32/5-x ?

shy lynx
#

yes

drifting ridge
#

do you do lim -inf and lim inf now?

shy lynx
#

yep

drifting ridge
#

or lim x -> inf

#

and lim x -> -inf

shy lynx
#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty}$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

shy lynx
#

on both sides

drifting ridge
#

i have inf = 32/-inf

#

what now?

#

@shy lynx

shy lynx
#

you didn't calculate the limit on the left correctly because you ignored g(x)

#

but the point is you're not supposed to calculate the limit on the left

#

we want to show that the limit on the left is zero

drifting ridge
#

how do i do this?

shy lynx
#

and we do that by showing that the limit on the right is zero

#

because we know they're equal

#

so just calculate lim_{x to infty} 32/(5-x)

#

you said 32/-inf

#

which is zero

drifting ridge
#

can you do it visually?

shy lynx
#

wdym

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

but if you want you can write

#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5-\infty} = \frac{32}{-\infty} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

shy lynx
#

if your class lets you write it that way

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

include the $$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] =$$ part

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
#

why have it like that

#

if you do lim x-> wont that part become infinity

shy lynx
#

no

drifting ridge
#

x is infinity?

shy lynx
#

you're ignoring the g(x) part

drifting ridge
#

how is that relevant

shy lynx
#

because it's part of the expression

#

you can't just ignore parts of the expression

#

the whole point of this exercise is that g(x) is very close to -x-7 when x is large

#

so g(x) - (-x-7) is going to be very small

drifting ridge
#

so you add x = infinity on the right side of the equation but not the left?

shy lynx
#

I'm only evaluating the limit on the right

#

because it's an easy limit to calculate

#

That's the whole reason I wrote the equality

drifting ridge
#

my friend did it like this, is this wrong or correct?

shy lynx
#

it's the same thing, just more disorganized

drifting ridge
drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

the red circle is g(x)

drifting ridge
#

because x is 5?

shy lynx
#

no, because it's 32/(5-inf)

#

we're taking a limit x -> inf

drifting ridge
drifting ridge
#

actyually nvm

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

The full answer is
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5-\infty} = \frac{32}{-\infty} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

what

drifting ridge
#

the point was to find the asymptote

shy lynx
#

g(x) is our function

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

it proves that the asymptote is -x-7

#

by definition

drifting ridge
#

because it equals to 0?

shy lynx
#

yeah

#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

shy lynx
#

all the stuff in between are the steps

drifting ridge
shy lynx
#

if you want

#

it's not necessary

#

but it doesn't hurt

drifting ridge
#

wait

#

so if it's - infinity

#

what do we then

#

the same?

#

just that its 32/-infinity = 0?

shy lynx
#

if what's -infinity?

drifting ridge
#

didnt we have to check -infinity as well?

#

x -> - infinity

shy lynx
#

oh you mean x -> -infinity

drifting ridge
#

yeah

shy lynx
#

yeah it's pretty much the same thing
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} [g(x) - (-x-7)] = \lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{32}{5-x} = \frac{32}{5+\infty} = \frac{32}{\infty} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Morrow

drifting ridge
#

Is this correct? @shy lynx

shy lynx
#

looks great

drifting ridge
#

why do we have the extra - there before

#

why do we decide to ignore it?

shy lynx
#

because we want to look at the difference between g(x) and -x-7

#

and show that the difference is small if x is big

#

by doing that, we show that g(x) gets closer and closer to -x-7

#

that's why we subtract

drifting ridge
#

ah i see

#

wait do you have a litte time to help me with one last equation?

shy lynx
#

it's a bit late, I need to sleep

drifting ridge
#

That's fine

#

thanks for the help

latent moth
#

i wanna know , is it true for all questions like this or are there some exceptions?

latent moth
#

like if we have |x| <= smthing , we need both u=> -smthing and u=< smthing

plucky elk
#

what is "questions like this"

latent moth
plucky elk
#

yes whenever you see absolute value, you should use the definition of absolute value

latent moth
#

like here , we would need union of both the solutions , cuz we need both

plucky elk
#

,tex .abs def

latent moth
#

yeah ik that

#

but my original question was

#

why did they take intersection here
the problem was |3-1/x| <= 1/2

#

unlike |3x/5 - 1| <= 2/5 , where we took union of the solutions of both cases

#

@plucky elk (srry for ping)

flat frigateBOT
#

riemann

latent moth
#

yeah i did use those and split into 2 cases

plucky elk
#

You have to use the union or intersection depending on the question

latent moth
#

but i dont understand when to take intersection and union

plucky elk
#

Union is "or" and intersection is "and"

dull cliff

find the volume

safe radishBOT
dull cliff
#

answer is 11pi/3

hard crest
#

a sketch would be very useful

dull cliff
#

would the outer radius be y=x^2?

fathom jewel
#

The only mistake that I see is that it should be sqrt(y)² - (y²)²

dull cliff
#

yeah i think i see that now i thought outer radius would be x=y^2

fathom jewel
#

Oh I realized we rotate about y=1

#

So basically outer radius is R = 1-x² and inner radius 1-sqrt(x)

dull cliff
#

how come it is 1-x^2? because rotate at y=1?

#

how did you get that R = 1-x² and inner radius 1-sqrt(x)

fathom jewel
#

The green represents the outer radius

#

Which is 1-x²

fathom jewel
#

Same with the inner radius

dull cliff
#

OH okay so the inner radius from y= 1 hence r = 1 - sqrt x

What i've done for this question is, made the taylor for the log(1+x), and then the log(1-x). They however have taken a different route in the working out which i do not understand why becasue we end up with different taylor series in terms of the negative/positive sign

So, i'm not going to question why they do ln1+x - ln1-x because its probably an algebraic strategy that i've forgotten, but my issue is how they go about their taylor series for ln1-x

chain rule remember

💀 oops, let me recheck that

#

i'll get back to you after fixing that

cinder delta
# obsidian oracle if f(x) = ln(1-x) you got f' wrong

Yep, it seems like it was litearlly just that one error that caused the whole issue. Once I fixed it, everything aligned up with solution. And just as a confirmation, is the ln(1+x) - ln(1-x) thing an algebraic thing ?

hey

safe radishBOT
storm citrus
#

dm it wont let me attach the photo

#

lemme do smth rq

#

mb

steel gulch
#

Use imgur

storm citrus
#

oh ty

#

this dumb ipad won't let me upload

#

Finally

#

They’re uploading now

#

just wondering why this doesn't actually work to get the answer

steel gulch
#

It assumes constant acceleration

storm citrus
#

wdym? wouldn't (V-U/t) give a constant deceleration?

#

how could i use a similar approach/ equation to get the right answer?

storm citrus
steel gulch
radiant eagle
#

but isn't 52 the answer

radiant eagle
#

sorry)

storm citrus
storm citrus
radiant eagle
#

ohh ok i get it

storm citrus
#

im a bit confused

steel gulch
storm citrus
radiant eagle
#

yeah but if you use the formula with a, you put s=260

#

but that's the displacement for the whole 20s

storm citrus
#

yeah?

#

the 10u is the distance convered in the first 10 seconds

#

but the 0.5at^2 doesn't find the distance covered in the last 10 seconds?

radiant eagle
#

you should sub s = 260 - 10u

storm citrus
#

so 260-10u = 0.5at^2

#

thats not right

#

i still don't understand why 0.5(v-u/t)t^2 doesn't give you the distance covered during the deceleration moment

#

oh

#

wait

#

i did find out that if i swap (v-u/t) for (u-v/t) i get the right answer?

#

so if i take the deceleration as acceleration in my equation i get the right answer?

radiant eagle
#

what

#

what r ur new steps

#

and where did average joe go

storm citrus
#

I was just messing around n taking acceleration as a positive value gets me the right answer?

radiant eagle
#

idk how this would actually be applied and whether u were just lucky

#

@steel gulch

storm citrus
#

idk but i feel like i was just lucky

#

?

#

@steel gulch

steel gulch
storm citrus
#

so just integrating would be the best thing to do with questions like this?

#

so

#

260 = 10u + 0.5*10u

storm citrus
steel gulch
#

Yeah that’s what I was referring to

how

$1 - Cos x = 2Sin^2 (x/2)$

$Sinx = 2Sin(x/2) Cos(x/2)$

close values ​​are written just for convenience

I don't got where the module is here? Or should acceptable values here?

# wispy monolith What module? Can you paste the complete question

This is an assignment on the topic "equations with moduli", which means that there must be some kind of check here, because this is not just a quadratic equation. We have such a concept as ODZ, for you it means acceptable values, and at first I did not understand that the acceptable values ​​are x - 2 >= 2 => x >= 2 because we have a root in the equation

do u know the formula for the sum (without the sqrt) ?

#

@pseudo flax

pseudo flax

no

ah

#

hm induction maybe

#

u know induction ?

pseudo flax
#

no

lean otter
#

is it linked with smthg u are currently learning ?

pseudo flax
#

no

lean otter
#

ah u just ask for personal knowledge ?

pseudo flax
#

yes

lean otter
#

so i think that it would be easy with the formulas

#

but u want to do without it right ?

pseudo flax
#

how to figure out the formula for the sum in the sqrt?

lean otter
#

rigorusly by induction is a good way

pseudo flax
#

i tried induction and it didnt go well

lean otter
#

or u see that u can associate the first term with the last, the 2nd with the one before last etc... and u multiply by half the number of time u add numbers (here k/2) so

pseudo flax
#

okay

#

i have another problem

lean otter
#

yea

does anyone know if its over for me

i think i might only be 100iq

#

cant get into oxford

You use simultaneous equations

=> 5y = 125

#

=> y = 25

#

so C assuming i did my mental math correctly

multiply first equation by 2 and second equation by 3

primal parcel

Also mental maths

silver glade

It’s simpler and we eliminate variable y

silver glade

#

For now and solve for x

silver glade
#

We want y

primal parcel
#

Ik

silver glade

it's the same thing just do whichever one is easier for you ig ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Then sub it back in to any equation

what do u guys think, does it have to do with talent or no

primal parcel
silver glade

oh ok

aaa

You need a min grade req of double A* and A

zealous matrix

so i applied

just practice

that's all you can do anyway

youd have to do specific brain training i think

#

not much can be generalised to intelligence

silver glade
#

for reference, i ranked below average in grade 9 on junior national CS contest, and ranked among the top 8% in grade 11 on the senior level

#

all it took was 4-5 hours of practice every day

#

so you can do this

zealous matrix
#

i q is best measure

silver glade
#

I Q is irrelevant here

#

Ofc if you have a higher one you'll need to do less practice

zealous matrix
#

ok ill try then, yh its true theres no way hard work wouldnt be effective

#

with this sort of thing

silver glade
#

You can't change your genetic intelligence lol

#

so just do what you can

zealous matrix
#

yh

#

i wonder how much i can improve my admission score

silver glade
#

when is it?

zealous matrix
#

im scoring at 45 rn haven;t practiced at all

#

a score of 65 is good enough for my curse

#

its in 9 days

#

70 is preferrable

#

i got 21/50 for reference, ran out of time

silver glade
#

at least here i remember learning it

why is the answer 41

glossy dock
#

maybe because one of the matinee performances will fall on a Sunday?

covert yoke
#

So if we write down a weekly calendar of performances, for MTWRFSS that is 1122120 right?

#

a month of 31 days consists of 4 weeks + 3 days, which must be chosen to be a consecutive block.

#

if the above doesn't make sense, grab a calendar, and look at each possible starting date of a month of 31 days.

#

Anyway there are a total of (how many) performances in a week, and then we can choose (which three days) to get another (how many) performances out of the remaining 3 days?

fathom jewel
#

I would think of it that you have at least (6+3) x 4 = 36 activities at least in 28 days, and the the best case for the remaining 3 days would be thursday (+2), friday (+1) and saturday (+2) = 5 total, so 36+5 = 41

covert yoke
#

or WRF or TWR, you have a total of 3 different possiblilities

having some trouble here, ABCD is a trapezoid, AB II DC
BC = 13cm
DC = 20cm
AD = 15cm
AE = 12cm
AE ⊥ DC
I need to find what AB's length is

12^2 + DE^2 = 15^2

DE^2 = 81

DE = 9

i dont understand?

You won’t calculate AB with the given lines alone

cold relic

One that isn’t there yet

#

Going from one of the points already there to a new point F

analog sable
#

this one's a real noggin scratcher for me

#

going down from B, drawing a parallel line to AE where it would meet with DC at point F?

cold relic
#

Yes

analog sable
#

and that is surely the only way to solve it? i havent done something like this in other exercises, but i figure i never had to either..

all right well it seems right, i sadly dont have the answers for the exercises, but i'll check if its all right tommorow.

Evaluate x:
x-9=5x+51

safe radishBOT
lean otter
#

I dont know the steps

sly plank
#

$ x - 9 = 5x + 51 \text{ becomes } x = 5x + 60 $ \
This is because we need to add $9$ since it is subtracted from $x$ on the left side. This will give us the first function we will need.

flat frigateBOT
lean otter
sly plank
#

Yes, exactly

lean otter
#

You dont add 9 to 5x

sly plank
#

Well you cannot add 9 to 5x

#

5 is the coefficient of x (i.e. 5 * x)

lean otter
#

What if it was x+9 instead of x-9

sly plank
#

You would subtract 9 from the 51 on the right side

#

You invert the operation

lean otter
#

Now that you have x=5x+60 what do you do

sly plank
#

Now we can move the 5x to the left so we can combine like terms.

Since we move from right to left 5x becomes negative.

i.e. x - 5x = 60

#

Thus: -4x = 60
