this was sm extended euclidian alg work
,rcw
100y+x - 68 = 2(100x+2y)?
yeah, the teller switched up dollars and cents, so replace y with x, and when he spent 68¢ he had double the amount
of the original cheque
that would make the rhs 2(100x+y) or 200x + 2y, but you wrote 200x + 4y
huh?
$2(100x+2y)$
Ann
you wrote this on the right
oh i wrote 2 there ughh
well everything else is fine, that 2 didnt affect the latter
it sounds like you treated it as if the other 2 weren't there anyway though
even number of mistakes
without the 2 it simplifies to -199x+98y=68 so uhh😭 ignore it 😭
its correct afterwards😭
so you ended up with the dio eq -199x + 98y = 68
yepppp
as i said, even number of mistakes (2 in this case)
,calc 199 * 93 - 98 * 67
Result:
11941
ok so your bézout representation for the gcd is wrong somehow
time to locate where the error is in that one
gosh 😭😭 not an ARITHMETIC error😭
,calc 199 * 33 - 98 * 66 - 98
Result:
1
wait no im the fool here
😭
yes sorry, typo on my part
whatever
how many million more sob emojis should i expect from you today
,calc 199 * 33 - 98 * 67
Result:
1
,calc 199 * 2244 - 98 * 4556
Result:
68
yeah i did check that enough number of times
so it looks like you got (x,y) = (-2554, -4556) as a possible sol
thus the general is x = -2554 + 98t, y = -4556 + 199t
yeah, and we need the minimum
x=2254-98t and y=4554-199t,
this seems to have gotten infected with typos
-2554 + 98t > 0 => 98t > 2554 => t > 2254/98
,calc 2254/98
Result:
23
2254
😭
well youll get t<23.89
x = -2244 + 98t
heck, the numbers
,w simplify -199(-2244+98t) + 98(-4556+199t)
,calc 2244/98
Result:
22.897959183673
yea
Result:
10
,calc -4556 + 199 * 23
Result:
21
oh god
and typos can and do prove fatal
what?

how to solve that without trigonometric solutions?
45+x+a(for alpha)+75=180
x+a =180-120
ig that's enough i have not calculated further
i need a pen and book
i don't even know if u can do it without trig
any parallel lines or smth

The closest you can get is using trigonometric ratios
You would eventually need trigonometric ratios to convert those angles into lengths of side
That too I am not exactly sure

hi , what's a hypothesis in math
?
A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A scientific hypothesis must be based on observations and make a testable and reproducible prediction about reality, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought.
If a hypothesis is repeatedly independently demonstrated by experiment to be true, it becomes a ...
basically
a hypothesis is a statement that is assumed to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation.
hh?
If we can assume for everything to be truth and they are not we can falsifie all math truths
and we make truth all false propositions
yeah
if you can prove a hypothesis is false
then its false
and your assumption was wrong
Yes , but I did'nt understand
how a false proposition is supposed truth and truth proposition is supposed false ?
No
,w assume
we "pretend" that something is true
what's the German word for assumption?
and then if it leads to a contradiction or false statement
then it means that the original ssumption was false
this will be a bit embarrassing if i turn out to be wrong in thinking timo is German
But rigourous way to say pretending in math ? , Because in mathematics there must be a mathematical way to state that ?
In math there's a formal language

if you think mathematicians spend all day talking entirely in a sea of $\forall$, $\exists$, $\land$ etc then you are very wrong
Ann
so our hypothesis, our assumption was false
math also works with words
it's not only symbols
Here saying ,lets suppose sqrt(2)=p/q is'nt saying sqrt(2)=p/q is true
but sqrt(2)=p/q
There is thouse who spend years to proof 1+1=2
bertrand russell with north white head
with 350 pages .
But it's better
to turn words to symbols at least having a complet formal language
Is'nt it ?
i think words bring clarity
i mean
for a human it's much easier to understand proofs that contain words
for a computer it might be better to just use symbols
but i think words are always helpful becuase they can explain what you are doing and why you are doing it
Yes
😂
They didn't do it because they doubted that 1 + 1 = 2, nor did they do it because they thought purely symbolic proofs are superior to proofs with words.
I think that their intention was to create an axiomatic / formal system, in which all theorems could be proved almost algorithmically. They probably didn't think that when they create such system, every mathematician will start working in it (because words are just simpler). But such system could be interesting anyway, what could such a system prove? Could it prove everything? If not everything, could it prove at least most of the current mathematics? Is it possible to reduce everything (or at least almost everything) we know about mathematics to something, which is essentially just a set of symbol with rules of purely typographic manipulations?
...
Symbolic proofs are hard to make and hard to follow. Using words is much simpler, and equally valid. As long as the word-proof makes logically sense, there's nearly no doubt that it could be translated into symbolic proof, if needed
Though nowadays, we have proof assistants such as Lean, which can make writing "symbolic" proofs much less painful
Yes , but in
formal definition what is hypothesis ? ,
could we make a hypothesis without using it as an introduction part for a proof ?
I don't think that the word "hypothesis" has any fixed meaning in formal logic
Depending on the context, it could be the P in a sentence of form P -> Q, or in context of natural deduction, it could be the premise of subproofs..
I wouldn't think of "hypothesis" as a formal mathematical term with one precise definition, it's an english word that means roughly "something that is assumed, from which something else follows / can be proved"
but the precise meaning varies depending on the context
Thanks a lot ,subproofs are proofs inside a proove ?
Yep
they are mostly used in context of natural deduction
The first

is the proof itself, and the nested ones are the subproofs

if you have a game of p player nim where each player has to make {a,b,c...} moves, how many outcome classes will there be (an outcome class is a type of outcome, think of 2 player hackandbush having 4 outcome classes, left wins, right wins, first wins, second wins)

OP, you may want to try posting your problems in #game-theory. the community there might be able to better help you with your problems.
I'm pretty sure they have posted there
I think it might help a bit to elaborate on what the game of nim is
ah I see, I apologize.
they've posted questions of this kind here like 20 times and received no response ever as far as i can tell
I see. I did notice from time to time, but I'm way out of my depth.
Twice, but yeah
Should I close it and just ask in game theory?
I'm not sure closing it is necessary but you should definitely consider asking in #game-theory, yes.
Nim is a mathematical combinatorial game in which two players take turns removing (or "nimming") objects from distinct heaps or piles. On each turn, a player must remove at least one object, and may remove any number of objects provided they all come from the same heap or pile. Depending on the version being played, the goal of the game is eithe...

@obtuse star Has your question been resolved?
I’ve found that for XvX games O(XvX)=2 and for XvY games where X and Y are not equal, O(XvY)=4
$O(\overset{n}{\overbrace{1 ...1}})=\text{win for n}\
O(\overset{m}{\overbrace{m ...m}})=\text{win for m}\
\text{for }m>n$ logic for second one

i always fear calling he/him to someone regardless they are a women people tend to break out on me 🥀
So for 2-player nim, the answer would be 2 outcome classes? (first player win, second player win)
I would expect the answer to be p because it would always be of the form [the ith turn player wins] but idk the details of how p-player games have well-defined strategy
Yes
This is true when there are no teams
But like, in 2v3 nim, there are 4 because 0, 11, 3, and 333 are all different outcome classes
The two extra outcome classes in nvm nim
Also a p player game has a maximum of p^(p!) outcome classes
i wrote code to do this for me

Ofc i totally understand what this means
The outcome of an n versus m game with n one stacks is a win for n; the outcome of an n versus m game with m stacks with m objects is a win for m
Do you know how to play nim?
I feel like I’m on to something

what
There's no rule setting a maximum amount of time a channel can be open for
I see 
Also literally no one has even tried to help
Believe it or not the goal of the server is not "close help channels as quickly as possible" despite what some people think
I may close it if I get no help today as well
Just because then I don’t think there will be anyone willing/able to help, and let other people get help rather than me
Altho there are some other help channels that have been open for just as if not longer
I have been making slow progress, but I think having another head could really help
I will
I am no good in game theory myself
but also i hope you understand that what you are asking is niche to say the least, MSE or some other space might be of more help
I mean its also not like we have a lack of help channels. Iirc the limit is something like 50 open at once
Just might take a bit to explain lol, this is a weird problem, I get that
I only see like 4 open left for me tho i have no question for now
Only 4 are available to be claimed at a time
most are kept in Math Help (Hidden) until those 4 are used
Damm i see the point it will look horrible otherwise
help-13 hasn't been used since the 26th of october last year

I get that f'(0)=0 and f(0)=0
And since |f'(x)|≤ f(x)
f(x) should not lift above 0
But Idk how to write it
??
<@&286206848099549185>
One way could be writing |f'(x) / f(x)| < 1, and then try to do something with that ||Hint: integrate||
Or alternatively, you could focus on the extreme case f'(x) = f(x) first and then use it to solve the original question
does || MVT || work?
Well why would we assume f(x) is always positive?
If it was negative, what would |f'(x)| be?
also negative?
|| f(x) >= |f'(c)| >= 0 ||
not sure
so its always positive
It does
Oh, yeah, it does, that works too
That's everywhere ig
there are probably lots of ways to do this
Fix some x in (0, 1), then |||f(x)| <= x |f(x_1)| for some 0 < x_1 < x, then iterate ||

if i take the biggest base on top and bottom it gives me 2x cubed/x can i simplify it into 2x square ?or do i start over and factorise by x squared on top to reach a normal expression?
Yea 2x^2 goes to ? as x goes to inf
isnt it an undetermined form since it would be -infinity/+infinity
The usual way is to divide both the numerator and denominator by some power of x
i could factorise both sides by x

I'm not going to read behind those links without context, but "if P then Q" is the same as "P implies Q"
In proofs
Say we have if P then Q
This is the same as $P \implies Q$
USS-Enterprise
But we don't care about truth values here
Like false implies true is true
In proofs, if we have a statement implies another statement
We operate under the assumption that P is true
And if P is true, then Q must be true as well
We aren't saying P is true at all. We are saying if it is true, then Q is as well
Yes, formally and logically they are the same
P is truth implie Q is truth is same as P implie Q .
Thanks a lot, because there's the paradox of material implication is :
All Q,P , (if P is false so Q ) truth .)
False proposition implie all propositions
Truth and false one .
And a truth proposition is implied by all propositions .
And there's no nessecerely a causal relation neither meaning neither time order
Between P and Q
But only truth table of it .
Propositional logic does not deal with causality
what you stated is the principle of deductive explosion, and it is a thing, but it doesn't serve much purpose because most all theorems in math don't care about implications with a false antecedent.
This is used in
Proof by contradiction .
eh... I would say not really in the current wording.
in deductive explosion, you start with a contradiction and prove anything.
in a proof by contradiction, you are assuming a falsehood to be true and shows that it leads to a contradiction. you do not infer anything from the contradiction. that would more lean towards the law of noncontradiction (that is, either a premise or its negation is true).
In logic, the law of noncontradiction (LNC; also known as the law of contradiction, principle of non-contradiction (PNC), or the principle of contradiction) states that for any given proposition, the proposition and its negation cannot both be simultaneously true, e.g., the proposition "the house is white" and its negation "the house is not whit...
why did this embed work but not the previous one...
Right but the law of noncontradiction exists at least partly because of the principle of deductive explosion
ah, fair point. I'm sorry I didn't catch that at first.
I mean you're right, the law is what directly enables (as in makes possible) proofs by contradiction
I was more cautioning against thinking that deductive explosion is directly used in proofs by contradiction because it can then lead to various... nonsense proofs if abused.
but I also get your point that this law exists because of deductive explosion, so I apologize for not getting that at first.

Yesterday, I finally understood how rotations around the unit circle worked, and that was a huge breakthrough.
Now, I'm working through word problems that use 2pi*n (I believe, since that's a full rotation), but I keep on getting them wrong. I think I mess up around where I stopped here.
Can someone help me with the next steps so that I see where I'm failing?
(Also, I have a feeling this isn't a 2pi(n) problem because this would only be half the way around the unit circle, as we're looking for equivelant cos values...)
do you know what the period is of A(t) ?
cos(Bt) has period 2pi/|B|
where |B| means absolute value of B
one way to answer is to find the time "compress accordian completely" then add that time to "stretch it back out to a length of 50cm"
do you know how to find the first time?
Hmmm... well, I thought about dividing 2.2142... by pi...
i don't see how that follows from "compress accordian completely"
Wait a minute...
It's just 1/4th of the period, right?
No, wait, this is cos.
But if we're talking about going from fully stretched out to fully compressing it, that would be 1/2 of the period.
In that case, 1/2 of the period would be 1.
yea t=1 is right for the first part
try doing the second half of this
Oh! Okay, so we already started the second half.
There we go, we have the first t value.
Now we just have to add 1 to it, right?
... the answer doesn't seem to be correct.
Oh, nevermind.
It's 1.3 because 0.7 is when it's going up, but we're going down.
I'll close this, but thanks for the help!

question
uhh, what the ?
why was the gas cloud treated like a solid sphere?
shell thrm applies to only connected surfaces or smth no?
yes closed surfaces
more of a physics question really
the shell theorem applies to any spherically-symmetric (by mass) object.
A spherically symmetric body affects external objects gravitationally as though all of its mass were concentrated at a point at its center.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem
In classical mechanics, the shell theorem gives gravitational simplifications that can be applied to objects inside or outside a spherically symmetric body. This theorem has particular application to astronomy.
Isaac Newton proved the shell theorem and stated that:
A spherically symmetric body affects external objects gravitationally as though ...
o
but in the proof we choose a closed surface 
well i dont really understand how we prove shell theorem from gauss's law
or how we got gauss law for gravity from newtons law either
there is a paper about proving both parts of the shell theorem, which may help you here.
this is the issue for me rn
the choice of a closed surface stems from choosing a gaussian surface
u choose it so gauss law applies!
now wth is a guassian surface
as per my understanding a closed surface is any surface with a boundary?
and that has no holes
yes but the gas cloud boundary itself is not your surface
when applying gauss law, u enclose the gas cloud with a imaginary sphere
that imaginary sphere is closed
(not imaginary in the sense of complex numbers, i mean literally imaginary)
yes i understand that much🙏
u could choose any closed shape but we often pick ones that help us exploit symmetry
i could pick a closed panda and apply gauss law
like spheres
what really?
because bad surface integral?
yes
i see
well i dont think i'll be applying gauss law in either of these forms
atleast till electrostats
maybe then i might dabble it with a bit
yeah its often introduced there more rigidly but a lot of force laws from electricity carry over to gravity
yeah my teacher did say that
tho ngl who would think about justifying this in exam 😭 i'd do this regardless if it was 'correct' or not
also another unrelated question: is $\omega_{BA} = \frac{v_B-v_A}{r_B-r_A}$ or $\frac{v_B}{r_B}-\frac{v_A}{r_A}$
rak³en
here BA mean B relative to A, omega is ang vel, v is linear vel, r is radius of circular orbit
well then wtf is this
what is the context behind that
two satellites a and b in circular orbits of radii r_a and r_b
what is the omega_a relative to b when they are closest
yeah im not sure how you'd get that formula for W_AB from that
best i can conclude is still w_a - w_b

I need help answering a,c,e
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
I dont know where to begin
try to turn all to y = something first
wait is that just the answer for a?
yea
oh alrighty
what would I write down for the answer accordingly to what the question is asking
thats fair
so for c we need more information: what have you learnt in class
the problem is I missed a week and half of school because of class swapping so im now trying to catch up
uhh yea but its hard to figure out if i dont know what kind of equation is that
looking at the answer key in the back of the book what you told me was right
like linear equations are very different from trigonometric equations
I think linear
ok for linear equations
if its f(x-a)
then its shifting a to the right
thats the golden rule.
if is outside
f(x)+b
then its shifting up
actually I think I understand what im doing for now ill come back if I need more help
remember, when inside, its always opposite direction but when outside, its the same direction as the axis
I figured ill keep it in mind thank you

Hello, can someone pls help me understand the disrepency between my answer vs the solution book answer.
images uploading?
@latent tendon Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Right
The channel closed before i could talk
When you look at $\delta(x \cos(\theta))$ and $\delta(y \sin(\theta) - l)$ do you see single variable functions?
Katharine
specifically the $\theta$ @latent tendon
Katharine
$\theta$ is a function of both $x$ and $y$
Katharine
Which couples both x and y, so its not seperable?
yes
and their answer
is when you look at specific cases with cos(θ) = 0
then you can separate them
but in general it is coupled
but thats kind of confusing no? like saying when costheta = 0 or sin theta =0 , then its no longer coupled?
Like i understand sin (0)= 0 and cos (0)= 1 means they are different but lets say sin (3)= 0.05 and cos (0.05) = 0.99 so they still are different
ig reading the answer key kind of confused me
i get theta affects both simultaneously which is why its not seperable, but its seperable when one is 0?

i think the above helper misunderstood θ and tbh it's not clear in the textbook. but no it's not a function of x, y and is in fact a constant. δ_l looks like 0 everywhere except on a line where it is equal to ∞. this line is parametrised by θ and l. the textbook is saying that δ_l is separable if and only if this line is either perfectly horizontal or perfectly vertical.

Anyone able to link me videos so I can solve these? The textbook is unclear and I missed the lesson
This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into evaluating limits of trigonometric functions such as sin, cos, and tan. It contains plenty of practice problems.

this one seems like what you're looking for
Yeah, but that one was so short so I was wondering if someone got a longer one
In this video, we practice finding limits of trigonometric functions. You’ll learn strategies for evaluating trig limits directly and simplifying expressions involving sine, cosine, tangent, and more (WITHOUT L'Hospital's Rule...that's for later 😉 ).
This lesson also covers AP Calculus Unit 1: Limits & Continuity (AB/BC).

Hi, could I please have some help on this, I approached it by contradiction, I was wondering, suppose that e is a rational so e = p/q, then show T is an intger and also a rational which is a contradictin, To show T is a rational i know tat the RHS summation is < 1/q + 1/q^2 + 1/q^3 +... < 1/q right?
Is that a correct upper bound i can use?

help
First time doing volume math I want to know how to do the math on the examples please help
for 3d objects like the bottom two u wanna do volume = area of the base * height
so for the cylinder in part a we need to find area of circle (coz thats the base) * heigh of the cylinder
area of circle is pir^2 we know r is 5 so its 25pi, and the height of the cyliner is 5
so answer is 125pi u^2
for part b u know base is a rectangle which is 22*7 = 154 and t hen times the hight which is 8
1232
@sick zealot Has your question been resolved?
yeah so ur formula is right
but do u know what those letters mean?
pi is a number
r is the radius of the circular base
h is the height
so looking at the diagram u can see arrows labelling each of these
r is radius which is half the diameter
the diameter is the entire length of the circle which is 10 so radius would be half of that hwich is 5
h is height which is 5
so plug it into the formula and u get ur volume
same with the bottom one
lwh
l is length
w is width
h is height
u have 3 numbers on that rectangular prism
each number corresponds to a letter
mutliply all 3
and u get ur volume

Asking the actual question right away is more likely to get responses.
Asking "Can I ask...?" or "Does anyone know about...?" doesn't give people enough information to decide whether they can help, and answering can feel like a promise to help with the actual question, which they might find themselves unable to.

Prove that given any real number m >=1, ther exists some value p(natural) such that for all integers n>= p
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

i generally attempt to solve universal into existential quantifer proofs by writing the existential bit in terms of the universal but idk how to do that here...
why?
yes i am trying to prove it true and it is true
try n = 1 and m = 2, for example
he's trying to prove this
so forall m exists p forall n > p
.
in addition to having nothing to do with the screenshot, this is also strange, what does m have to do with anything
anyways usual way to prove existential statements is either constructing the candidate or proving by contradiction (if you assume lem)
what do you mean
it is in the ss
m is in the equation
i give up, have fun with this
i'm thinking but induction seems to work quite well?
mhm i have yet to learn mathematical induction
ah ok
our previous lecture went over it and i haven't had the time to go over it since i missed it
unfortuante
oh but you are allowed to use it?
yes
because proofs on naturals like these are commonly solved by induction so it may be the intention here
@nocturne zephyr Has your question been resolved?
okay i think something like this should work without induction if you're able to prove that m < p^m for some p

what am i doing wrong
it would be:
rate * birds * time = birdseed
... where rate is the amount of seed eaten by ONE bird in ONE month
5 what? might want to be careful with units especially in problems like this, lest you end up confusing yourself with a bunch of numbers.
also, recall that you may prefer to work with the rate per bird in terms of cups of birdseed per a single month.
does your answer of about half a month seem reasonable? like using your skills of estimation
yes
cool seems good then
me? i'd probably do something like
5 cups - 18 birds - 1 month
5/18 cups - 1 bird - 1 month
80/18 cups - 16 birds - 1 month
1 cup - 16 birds - 18/80 month
2 cup - 16 birds - 9/20 month
but like. we get the same result by multiplying the same things
i'd just write out less because i'm more comfortable with these problems
can i avoid calculating the rate of 1 bird
and use the proportional rule directly
18 birds = 5 cups per 1 mo
16 birds = 2 cups per ? mo
and solve
why should we use 1 bird in the first place
idk i just went through one bird because i was less likely to mess it up
youc ould do it that way too
is there a caveat here
i see many solutions go first through 1 "worker"
in this case 1 bird
you're less likely to mess up a simple multiplication if you first find out the rate of one entity than to have to handle multiplication and division at the same time by directly using proportion. it's not impossible, but it's more error-prone.

what have you tried for part a @granite viper
I tried like diving by 14 then I got stuck
Both sides. Not the middle
okay so you get $\cos(x+75^\circ)=\frac{1}{2}$
Green
well for what values of x is cos x = 1/2
Yea then I think I need to put it in shift cos then get it then
shift cos?
I study trig
ik
So like to get the angle of it something something
is shift cos supposed to mean inverse cos
Yea yea
@granite viper
Yea then I need to do some steps that involve 360
ye
I will try complete it and I will see if there’s any mistakes
I need help here with the first one. (This is a practice test not an actual one)
These problems are basically just taking a big force and splitting it into pieces that actually matter for the slope.
and btw this is physics ryt
@honest idol
No calc 3
Well it is physics but the class isn’t physics centered
I just don’t understand the wordings
The car's weight is pushing straight down, but because it's on a $15^\circ$ hill, that weight gets split into two parts: one trying to slide it down the hill and one squishing it into the pavement.a) Force to keep it from rolling: This is the "parallel" force. You just take the weight and multiply by the sine of the angle.
Calculation: $5800 \times \sin(15^\circ) \approx 1501$ lbs.So you need about 1501 lbs of force to keep that thing from becoming a runaway projectile.b) Force perpendicular to the slope: This is how hard the car is actually pressing against the road. Use cosine for this one.Calculation: $5800 \times \cos(15^\circ) \approx 5602$ lbs.The road is feeling a massive 5602 lbs of pressure.
Innocent Zero
Like this ?
Wait no probably this
Idek
The Weight Vector: In your drawing, the red arrows represent the components, but the "main" force (the car's weight) always points straight down towards the center of the Earth, regardless of the hill.
The Triangle Logic: Those two red arrows should actually be the "legs" of a right triangle where the car's 5800 lb weight is the hypotenuse.
The Angle: In your second drawing, you marked 30°, but the problem specifically says the car is on a 15° slope.
Oh yea angle is 15
Did I get the component vectors correctly tho?
not quite correct for a standard physics vector diagram.
Well is it still correct practically
your new diagram is getting much closer, but it's still a bit "messy" logically. You’ve got the right idea with the angles now, but your force values and directions are still tripping you up.
Wdym
there are me correction but this diagram is pretty close
Ok
the image is ai generated i am too lazy to draw but the concept is correct i double chked it carefully
So I had an issue with my other vector
I see
From there it’s just trig right @mystic nexus
ye
ur perpendicular was correct but the direction were opposite

Honey
you ok over there? 😁
Two points A and B and there are another movable point P on the given circle which satisfies that given equation. How many possible P there are? 0, 1, 2….
The problem is the given equation PA^2-PB^2=-13 would not be a easy reach algebraically speaking
So I have to rely on a geometric approach
But I’m not sure what the equation means geometrically, which gets me stuck
Ahhh
Abhhhhhh
Nooooo
I love North Korea
??
Ppl outside North Korea are too blunt to solve this one
My arguments:
- because North Korea do not have internet, local people spend most of their time on learning math which results in a greater capability of math for them compared to people in other countries.
2.people in North Korea are more resilient. In North Korea, food shortages, water shortages, and power outages are commonplace which makes a lot inconvenience and trouble for local people. Those people able to survive through this tough and unbearable circumstances without giving up are mentally strong enough to cope with complicated math quizzes. With greater mental resilience, they are more likely to have better academic achievements in math field compared to people in the rest of the world.
@west hedge Has your question been resolved?
We know P is closer to A than B, what I would do is start by plotting points on the circle and calculating PA^2-PB^2 and see how it compares to -13
You mean choose a random point in the circle and start calculate
Yeah, there are 8 such points with integer coordinates, not too hard to go through these

Hello! I'm stuck on this question, specifically at 2x = 1 - (3/x+2). Im unsure how to continue working, is anyone able to help?
generally it's a good idea to clear denominators
can you tell me what you did so far?
i said that im stuck at 2x=1 - (3/x+2), i think i did what you asked? not sure tho
can you tell me how you got there?
i can send a picture of my work?
what steps have you taken so far?
just cancelled out the bottom numbers on the fractions (idk what the terms are sorry)
okay, that's what i was afraid of. I don't understand why you thought you could just do that.
When you're solving an algebraic equation, you can do whatever you want to one side, as long as you do the same exact thing to the other sdie
for example, you could multiply both sides by 2
but you have to multiply the entire thing by 2
it seems like what you were trying to do was to multiply both sides by (x^2 - 4)?
I know this is a terrible picture but this is what I did specifically, I thought I did the same process the teacher told me to
right okay, it does seem like you were trying to multiply both sides by (x^2 - 4)
so let's do that
starting with
$\frac{2x}{x^2-4} = \frac{1}{x^2-4} - \frac{3}{x+2}$
schrödinger's kitten
$\orange{(x^2-4)}\lp \frac{2x}{x^2-4}\rp = \orange{(x^2-4)}\lp\frac{1}{x^2-4} - \frac{3}{x+2}\rp$
schrödinger's kitten
do you see how i'm multiplying the entire thing by (x^2 - 4)?
yes i see
okay. on the left, we have something that fits the pattern of $\rsq * \frac{\bsq}{\rsq} = \bsq$ so we can simplify that
schrödinger's kitten
so now we have
$2x = \orange{(x^2-4)}\lp\frac{1}{x^2-4} - \frac{3}{x+2}\rp$
schrödinger's kitten
on the right, we're going to have to distribute that orange thing across the two terms
$2x = (x^2-4)\lp\frac{1}{x^2-4}\rp - (x^2-4)\lp\frac{3}{x+2}\rp$
schrödinger's kitten
now do you see another spot we can apply the rule we know, of $\rsq \cdot \frac{\bsq}{\rsq} = \bsq$ ?
schrödinger's kitten
uhmm
lemme see
sorry i think im still a little lost
but i looked back at my notes and i think i figured out what i did wrong earlier

Hello guys, I have a question. Is a logarithm an irrational number? Can you calculate a logarithm without a calculator?
It depends on the argument of the logarithm
What's an argument?
The number you take the log of
so like x is the argument for log(x)
like log_10(100)=2, but log_10(2) is irrational
so it depends
True
Also you can calculate any logarithm w/o a calculator to any precision you want but its a lot of computation
its worth noting that even the calculator still only computes an approximation
extremely dependent on what the base and input are
@hybrid forum Has your question been resolved?
And that's why we write logs instead of their decimal representation, we write: $\log_{m}{a}$
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
Just like we don't write as $1.414$, we write as $\sqrt2$. It's because we can't write all digits of it out, because it's infinite
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

someone help pls
that looks like it might be separable? have you tried?
yeaa so my friend once posted it here i have adoubt regardin the soln
can u guide me
soo umm this was the soln given #help-2 message
but i think the guy assumed wrong
for if u take the 2 bracket t
the 1 bracket doesnt become dt
can u please try
i think the question is wrong like they put it wrong in 1 brackde
i can't tell which part you're doubting
but try differentiating the solution given and see if it matches
umm like the asnwer is by when u take the second part 2
the 1 part isnt dt
good idea
not matching for me
can u please reconfirm
seems to match for me i think?
,w find derivative, ln(1+2sin(y)) = 1/2 ln(4+sqrt(9+sqrt(x))
ohh
coefficient might be slightly off
when the right root x goes insise it becomes xrootx
so umm how is it matching
like the rightest inside the second rightest
heres its only x and 9 root x
@hard crest im sorry but im a like understandable like idk if i am able to convey what i want to say
yeaa i think like the question was trying to make the same equation the guy found out but i think they messed up the roots somewhere
idk i'm doing this without paper so it's tricky for me to check
that sqrt(x) multiplies to the root
$\sqrt{\sqrt{x} + 9} \sqrt{x} = \sqrt{x + 9 \sqrt{x}}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
oh yeah im stupid
,w y' = (1+2sin(y))/(16sqrt(x+9sqrt(x))(4+sqrt(9+sqrt(x)))cos(y))
i think its unsolvable in that form
lmao
😭
bro just moved the items in multiplication
AB = BA AHH
😭
thanks wolfie
just to provide some context by the way, they expect us to solve this in about 2 minutes
thats a diff question but they arent even providing a valid equation the question is wrong smh

find the zeropoints of the function depending on q, and their type
can someone help me holy shit this is so hard
riemann
plug in a, b, c and simplify
Well, they depend on q, so you're rather supposed to find discriminant and then check when D > 0, D = 0 and D < 0

D is b^2 - 4ac, not just c
