Where is my mistake here? My answer (written note) vs the hint answer
My concern is that the hint answer doesn't have 1/6 while I do (and I forgot to write + C, i know)
notice that the coeeficient of x while integrating in the final step is 1/6

I need the given and to prove
Gimme a minute
8, 9 and 10
Theorem 6.2. is converse if basic proportionality theorem btw
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 just need the given and to prove
So
1
???
Given and to prove
aint 'given' just the entire question
- given traingle ABC, D is a mifpoint of AB, E is a midpoint of AC
- to prove DE || BC
And for Q9?
LOL ISNT THAT NCERT 9TH TEXT BOOK
why dont you try?
10th
oh ...
tell me the given and to prove for q9 yourself
Given : Ab || dc
Diagonals intersect at O
Prove : Ao equal to CO
Bo DO
Correct? 😭

sign error
,w differentiate -C*(b-u)^(-1) wrt u
its integrate
My point is that if
$$\int C(b-u)^{-2} \dd{u}=-C(-u)^{-1},$$
then the derivative of $-C(b-u)^{-1}$ with respect to $u$ should be $C(b-u)^{-2}$. But it isnt.

Recall the relationship between differentiation as integration as "opposites".

can anyone help with precalc homework here i might be dumb and im very confused
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.
Suppose h(x) is as graphed below. On the same plot, graph 1
2
h(x) + 3.
improbably doing this wrong
really wrong

you have the correct function for h(x)
but that isn't what they asked for and isn't needed
its doable using just the coordinates from the graph
consider using a few key points
explain this like im 5 casue i get easily confused
looking at the vertex,
when x=-2, h(x) = h(-2) = 2 right?
im trying to undertsand rn holdup
ok yes
the red line is the transformation of the function
is the genereal transfomration just a slight cpompression?
now what will
h(-2)/2 + 3
be
not sure what you're doing with those red lines on the graph
this will be a vertical compression followed by vertical shift
the lines are just what im thinkingthetransfomration will be
what is it asking for ive ben stuck on this for a while

they want you to graph
1/2 * h(x) + 3
when x=-2, h(x) = h(-2) = 2 right?
now what will
h(-2)/2 + 3
be
why are you using a different function now
im not gonna lie iforgot alot ofthe math i learned before thisquarter so im struggling 😭
don't overthink what i'm asking you
when x=-2, h(x) = h(-2) = 2 right?
now what will
h(-2)/2 + 3
be
holdup im thinking
how you mean the curved functions
thso are fromother proplems isolved earlier
ok, forget those for now
2
how are you getting 2
$\red{h(-2)} = 2$
$$\frac{\red{h(-2)}}{2} + 3 = \what$$
were both texting this rn
ραμOmeganato5
can you draw a cleaner line
beleive it or not were both artst drawing shitty lines
he said at -2 the y value is 7.5
that's very different from what's shown on his graph
also wrong
damn
at x=-2, he had y value of 4 which was correct
where's 7.5 coming from
my mistake
i heard him wrong
at -2 y val is 4 at x=5 its 7.5
ok, that's fine
hold up let me draw this on my own graph now
like that
this is it right for thisone
yes
thanks alot
me and bro were tweking out over thiscause we were confused
might come back for help on another one but i need to go eat right now

Please help, I understand Piecewise but I don't understand this 3-Constraint and fraction-function shenanigans happening in this.
,rccw
<@&268886789983436800>
Can you normally plot 5/4 x +63 = y?
what is happening
With not constraints
I dont know dude
I don't understand these fraction functions
Can you draw 5x - 2 = y
I only get like the coefficient and non-coeffecients, do I need to do rise over run on both the numerator and denominator?
Okay heres a trick for drawing lines
Do I need to put the constraint numbers as the input for the x value?
Put x = 0 and find value of y1
This will get you a point on line (0,y1)
Repeat by putting y= 0 and find x
This will get you a second point (x1,0)
Plot these two points and join them using a ruler please
This would get you ur line
Was this understandable?
my brain is not functionging
Right okay lets do this again
If you have two point of a line, we can draw the line by connecting those two right?
5x we would do rise over run 5/1 and the y value is -2 so we begin from there
right???
Okay so lets do it that way then
Okay no hold on
maybe it would be helpful to remind yourself of what the general linear equation looks like, OP.
y = mx+b
and what is m? what is b?
should I stop trying to use rise over run???
m is the rise over run
m is the gradient.
m is called the slope
anyway I'll step back for Yajant.
Ah
No no please go on
the value for y is 5, x is 1, because that's rise over run, then the denominator is the same thing being 4/1 so 4 is y and x is 1, 63/4 is not possible because the graph doesn't stretch that far to 63, so I'm definitely doing this wrong, and both of these are all on the -7 y axis from my understanding, so -7 is the region
when I do 5/1 and 4/1, there are literally 2 points beneath each other, without any correlation because I'm dumb.
Okay, see it would be better here to find the point where the first line cuts the x axis
generally we find where it cuts the y axis right?
Then there's the using the constraints as the x input, which gives us 5/4(-7) + 63/4 equating to 7.
and if we switch to -3 as the x input, we get 12.
I did this, but I needed to literally add negative values to the Y value

Let B = A U (A - B).
Prove that A = B.
Annie Maqionde
For the first assume assume an element $x \in B$ and work your way from the RHS of the given statement
Annie Maqionde
for the second assume $x \in A$ and continue likewise, i assume
Annie Maqionde
Are A and B disjointed sets?
If they are not then it fairly basic to show by using $\forall x \in \mathbb{U}$

Hi.
Support your claim
Support your claim for option D
@cunning pasture Has your question been resolved?
i don;t understand what it's saying, phi is true or false
i think it's empty set
B is true
If you're having trouble proving option D, I suggest you look at a scenario like this
this is python sybntax lmao
they all seem true
Mhm.
ok probably D
wth
The C just changed to C' in the last option
lmao
anyway

need help transforming this into x^3
uhhh simplify it?
or use binomial formula
am i correct in saying:
- dilation 1/5 from x axis
- dilation 2 from y axis
- translation 2 down
- translation 2 left
dilation is scaling?
yes
wait. so you want to switch only the right hand side to x^3 or what?
like do transformation to put all the cofficients and stuff on the right hand side?

if i want to calculate the are between these 2 functions
can i just do f - g or would i have to transform these functions first
Not always. You need to integrate the larger function minus the smaller function
yes of course
like integrate of f-g
wait
They might have intersection points so the larger one may switch
How do you know f is larger than g
You need to solve it using algebra
also, how do i know what the limits are?
like the x values
.
Intersection points tell you
Do you know what intersection means for the functions
yes
where they cross
so i gotta do that too?!
thats much work

someone help me derive the sum-to-product identities?
Of what?
i mean there is a way to remember this?
do a lot of problems using it 
youre right
like cos(a) + cos(b)
Understanding how to derive it might help
hm solving problems only way out
yes but i also have to remember the formula of addition
Well mnemonics(but bad idea)
cos(a+x) = cos(a) cos(x) - sin(a) sin(x) ?
cos(b + x) = cos(b) cos(x) - sin(b) sin(x)
cos(a) + cos(b)
mm
cos(a + x) + cos(b + x) = cos(a) cos(x) - sin(a) sin(x) + cos(b) cos(x) - sin(b) sin(x)
cos(a+x)+cos(b+x)= cos(x) (cos(a) + cos(b)) - sin(x)(sin(a) + sin(b))
You could also remember the approach to derive them
can you help pls
Me ?
I can try
here?
Yeah
ok so we have to prove cos(x+y)
You need to know how we derive those formulas, that way you can just derive it everytime until you memorise it
OR
You do enough problems that it sticks with you
i found a "trick" like when there is + i have to put cos cos - , and where there is - i have to put cos cos +
first
You can do that as well if you're sure it'll stick with you forever
i dont think so
For multiplication you can just observe cos(x + y) & cos(x - y)
i need to remember them also when i dont use them so much
can we derive this^
The addition part or multiplication one
actually we just need one
like we can use cos(x+y) and then cos(x+(-y))
so we just need cos(x+y)
cos(x + y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)
cos(x - y) = cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)
We can both of these to get
cos(x + y) + cos(x - y) = 2cos(x)cos(y)
Tadaa we have sum-to-product identity for cos
so you are saying that
cos(x+y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)
cos(x-y) = cos(x) cos(y) + sin(x) sin(y)
now we sum
cos(x+y) + cos(x-y) = 2cos(x)cos(y)
Multiply by -1 on both sides now
2sin(x)sin(y) = cos(x-y) - cos(x+y)
We have the sum-to-product for sin
You could change the function on RHS by subtracting or adding 90° & taking care of sign to get the whole equation in terms of sin function
Or you could do that here as well directly to obtain the equation for sin
ok x-y = b => x = b+y
no
why
yes i have to sub x into x+y = a
Yes you can do that to get y
b+y+y = a so i get 2y+b = a
yes
2y = a-b => y = (a-b)/2
Yes
Yes
W
You are getting the idea, I am not focusing much on calculations right now just to tell you
ok
That is the derivation of multiplication identities given that one knows about addition ones
Addition ones could be proven by taking a unit circle
i think i will memorize cos(a+b) and sin(a+b)
just for now
cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a) sin(b)
Yes you can do that as well, just remember that cos is an even function & sin is an odd function, it helps in sin( x +- y )
sin(a+b) = sin(a) cos(b) + sin(b) cos(a) ... ?
ok nice
Sin one is easier actually, you just have to use both pairs
a , b with sin , cos
b , a with sin , cos
Combination not permutation If I am Correct idk
Good
Yes, cos into cos
Sin into sin
Cos into sin
Sin into cos
ok we got sin into sin right?
You could just remember one, and change one function into other function ig but we will get the term of pi in that, so it wont look much nice
It should be possible too
cos(b) - cos(a) = 2sin((b+a)/2)) sin((a-b)/2) i mean we got this
Yeah
We got cos into cos as well
what if its cos(b) + cos(a)
Here
how can i switch quickly
cos(x+y) + cos(x-y) = 2cos(x)cos(y)
a = x+y
b = x-y
x = a-y
b = (a-y) - y
b = a-y-y = a - 2y
-2y = b-a
2y = a-b
y= (a-b)/2
a = x+y
b = x-y
( you could add both of these to get result directly )
Yes
Yes
ok now the one with the sines are left
You could derive sin into cos by using sin(x +- y
Exactly same thing
Just for different addition identities
you mean cos(x + pi/2) = sin(x) ?
wait i think its wrong
cos(x-pi/2) = sin(x) ?
Yes
can you remember me
like why this is wrong
i dont remember
😕
Do you know about graphical transformation
There are two ways to verify this,
-
graphical transformation
-
using the expansion of cos(x + y)
I think itll be too long to tell you whole about graphical transformation
It is just by drawing graph of LHS & RHS to see if it'll be same
If it is, then there's equality
Okay
so what where you saying
do i have to use cos(x-pi/2) = sin(x) ?
to get the formulas for the sines ?
ok whats the cleanest way
You could use sin(x + y) & sin(x - y)
ok
sin(x + y) = sin(x) cos(y) + sin(y) cos(x)
sin(x-y) = sin(x) cos(y) - sin(y) cos(x)
i add them
sin(x+y) + sin(x-y) = 2 sin(x) cos(y) (1)
ops
Yes
and now ?
sin(x+y) - sin(x-y) = 2 sin(y) cos(x) (2)
a = x+y
b = x-y
sin(a)+sin(b) = 2 sin((a+b)/2) cos((a-b)/2) (1)
How did you write this
i substracted
Okay
sin(a) - sin(b) = 2 sin((a-b)/2) cos((a+b)/2) (2)
Get sin(a) - sin(b)
Good
Bingo
Nice!
This is the way
Thanks so much
I hope you did the calculations well
i think so
Just in case, check the result from some trusted source
Remember that cos is even function and sin is odd
Okay ?
yes

Hello
I was given the function $$(lnX)^2 - 2ln{X}$$
In section A, I was asked to find the domain of the function, which I found was $$X > 0$$
After that,
B. Find extreme points of the function (if there are any) and define them as either Min or Max
C. Find the x-intercepts of f(x)
D. Draw the function.
E. Find a domain where both f(x) and f'(x) are positive.
F. $$g'(x) = f(x)$$
Within the domain $$X > 0$$
Find the extreme points of g(x), and define them as either Min or Max.
As I explained above, I got through A, but I'm unsure as to how I'm supposed to continue.
Isnt $$(lnX)^2 = 2lnX$$? Or did I misremember? I dont see how I'm supposed to find an extreme point when $$f(x) = 0$$
Kaz
$lnX^2 = 2lnX$, not $(lnX)^2=2lnX$
is $$lnX^2$$ where the X is squared, not the entire thing?
Kaz
There is a difference between $\ln(x^2) = 2\ln(x)$ and $(\ln(x))^2$, which is just $\ln(x) \cdot \ln(x)$.
Azyrashacorki
yep
~ 阿莲 <• a.lien •>
I see
so um how would I find the derivative of that? Would it be $$f'(x) = lnX - (1/x)$$
Kaz
Kaz
?
I encountered that the other day but I still dont really understand what that is
Or the product rule if you interpret (ln(x))^2 as (ln(x)) * (ln(x))
I dont understand
The chain rule is important to know, but you can use the product rule if you're more familiar with that
$(f(x) \cdot g(x))' = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)$
Azyrashacorki
Here you have $\ln(x) \cdot \ln(x)$
Azyrashacorki
wait is that product rule or chain rule
This is the product rule
I see
im familiar with this
what is the chain rule though
Since its come up a few times I should probably learn it
When you have functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ that are composed together into, say, $f(g(x))$, you can compute the derivative of $f(g(x))$ via the chain rule, namely $$(f(g(x)))' = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).$$
Azyrashacorki
In this case, you can interpret $(\ln(x))^2$ as the functions $f(x) = x^2$ and $g(x) = \ln(x)$ being composed together, giving you $f(g(x)) = (\ln(x))^2$.
Azyrashacorki
why is f(x) $$x^2$$
Kaz
if f(x) = x² then f(ln(x)) = ln(x)²
I dont get it
$$y = x^2$$ ?
Kaz
?
If you agree that $f(g(x)) = (\ln(x))^2$ when $f(x) =x^2$ and $g(x) = \ln(x)$, then that's pretty much it.
Azyrashacorki
They're just two functions which, when composed, give (ln(x))^2.
f(x) = x^2 is a function
g(x) = ln(x) is a function
f(g(x)) = (ln(x))^2 is a function, the composition of f by g.
You could write f(u) = u^2 if having x in there confuses you.
It doesn't change the definition of the function sending (something) to (something)^2
I have in my formula sheet $$[f(u(x))]' = f'(u)*u'(x)$$ Is that it?
Kaz
yes
I see
Unfortunately I have to go but I think I might understand it now maybe? I'll give the question another try later.
Thank you for the help :)

Hello im back now I dont know what implicit differentiation is :D
do you know what an implicit function is ?
its basically when you cant isolate y purely in terms of x
Oouuhhh its like using 2 different equation to single out a y or x function
your solving for dy/dx in an equation where you have both x and y as variables
a simple example would be
y²x + x²y = 1
do you want me to work through this example to show you how its done ?
Yes pls
ok so
in the equation y²x + x²y = 1
you wanna find the derivative of y wrt x
i.e. dy/dx
so you just differentiate the whole thing
d(y²x) + d(x²y) = d(1)
solving this out using chain rule and product rule looks something like
2yxdy + y²dx + 2xydx + x²dy = 0
the same thing couldve been done wrt x
which would give us
2yx(dy/dx) + y² + 2xy + x²(dy/dx) = 0
solve for dy/dx
the idea to differentiate an equation , by treating the variables as functions
is implicit differentiation
Another way to find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ \ for a multivariable function $f(x, y)$ is to set $f(x, y) = 0$ and use $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}{\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}}$
1sec lemme fix this
Ook
there we go
KB
proof ?
idk the proof of it, but it is a way you can find dy/dx of a function of this form
:0
take your example $y^2 x + x^2 y = 1$ Let $f(x, y) = y^2 x + x^2 y -1$ and $\frac{df}{dx} = -\frac{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}}{\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}}$ We now solve these partial derivatives, starting with f with respect to x yields $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2 + 2xy$ and for f with respect to y yields $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2yx + x^2$ putting this into our formula we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y^2+2xy}{2yx+x^2}$ and then from there we simplify
KB
Oouuhhh so that wut it means
but unless you have been tought this method follow Smith's way

how do I find the integral when they’re multiplied together
did I do this wrong
U = x^2
Y
Dv = cosx dx
well i don't think the integration by parts is wrong per se but it doesn't seem very helpful
ideally you would like to reduce the power of x so that evendually it would be reduced down to x^0
only when its rlly obvious like when theres lnx
there are various acronyms out there that you can memorize if you want, e.g. LIATE
log, inverse trig, algebraic (powers of x), trig, exponential. you pick the first one that applies to be u

how do i know when to use usub and when to use integration by parts
Depends on the integrand
how do i know based on the integrand
if integration by parts works, then use integration by parts
do i use usub if something can cancel out
well, it's probably easier to check u-sub first
like the x
if you have a clear du then usub is a good idea
wait no
after the first few steps of either you'll realise your either making progress or not
if not it may still be possible
see in integration by parts u have to see whether the two functions that you take give a good second term, as in after differentiating u and integrating v, the product is easy to integrate or not
As for subs, normally there is a weird or long denominator/ creepy random term in numerator
is this u sub or ibp
Then sub generally works as you most of the time it gets cancelled out
Sub
:C
See numerator has a creepy term
hows it creepy its just a chil term
If you differentiate the (1+ lnx) do you get 1/x right?
Thats one way of thinking
yah
so we can say that sub will work out beautifully here
I mean if we try ibp, the integration wouldnt be so nice for (lnx)^5
o
Try to observe and pick up on this thinking logic asw
helps to identify quickly
but sometimes when there is a big mess of trigo functions, dividing by sec or tan helps out too
is that just so it cancels
it cancels easy
but I had this case where it didn’t cancel but I could still use usub
In fact, there's no rule about cancellation 🤔
o
I don't know how you've been taught u-sub
Oh right i forgot about this case!
Sometimes the other part in x can be simply rewritten as the substitued new var
But again this comes with pratice
its one of those things you pick up while solving qsns
$\int (x+1) \cos(3x²+6x) dx$
Alberto Z.
Another example, how would you integrate this? @echo gazelle
-# i got confused why u pinged me😭😭
do you see that it would be painful to integrate cos(3x^2 +6x)?
if you need more hints ask Alberto directly
isnt thsi the cancelling...
@echo gazelle Has your question been resolved?
@echo gazelle Has your question been resolved?
both work
usually usub is limited tho, u try to use usub first and if that doesn't work go IBP and if that doesn't work
erm
cursed but it's right...
you could just do du=6x+6 dx => du/6=(x+1)dx and remove x+1 dx entirely-
iksnt that what i did .............................................................................
I have no idea what iksnt means but
it's
I don't think it's wrong
it ain't wrong I guess
u got another question or u g
@echo gazelle Has your question been resolved?
Context clues - it's a typoed "isn't"
It is technically what you did, but inside an integral it's generally bad form to have both u and x involved at the same time
Which is why it's often considered better to deduce all the things you need to substitute in before the integral-rewriting
@echo gazelle so see here - there is a (x+1) (times) dx term in the integral, so we can replace those in a fell swoop with du/6
Instead of having to cancel out terms that involve x in an integral that's "talking" about u (by "talking", I'm referring to the fact that there's a du at the end, so we're integrating with respect to u)

can someone please help me on this question
ill break down my knowledge for part a
i know that sin^2x can be written as
well
i know that
Cos2A = cos^2x - sin^2x
sin ^ 2x = cos^2x + cos2A
but now im in a dead end...
Convert cos²x into sin²x now
I meant sin²x=1 -sin²x +cos2x
U get this right ? After converting cos²x into sin²x
By shifting i meant taking the sin²x from right to left
yeah
And did u understand this?
yes i do
wait
ill shift to the left
to get
2Sin^2x = 1 + cos2x
right
yes
i think so
Yes then divide both sides by 2
Sorry there is an issue
U did?
i didnt
Right,yeah
Yes
whats next
but wait
its not done
wait i think it is
omg i misread the question lool
i thought we had to
turn it allll into sin2x
thats why i was confused and found it hard
Why sin2x?
i mean
cos2x
i just misread the question
it said in terms of cos2x
not into cos2x
okay so
Yeah
is part a helping me for part b?
Do u need help with b too?
no i dont think so
It can ,if u use what u found
There r other alternatives too
why cant i integrate sin^2x directly?
reverse chain rule
Did u try?
reverse chain rule is essentially u-sub.
power rule doesn't work since it's not x by itself to a power
whats the difference between u sub and reverse chain rule i always get confused which to use
Then show it
U can easily do it without any sub honestly, if u use what u found
yeah its easy to do with what i know
but
they're basically the same thing: when you say reverse chain rule, what do you think in your mind?
what does it mean to you?
nothing really i just needed clarification
oh yeah no worries
yeah, u-sub is the calc 2 method of undoing chain rule
chain rule -> derivatives, u-sub -> integrals
the main issue is rewriting it into a term i can do easily
like here we rewrote it
but its hard to notice
if there was no part a and it was just one question i couldnt have done it
like this,,,
oh, how should i know that i need to rewrite it instead of doing u-sub or something else?
U could hv since they didnt specify that u need to use u-sub
U still could hv done u sub ,it's practice that matters

why when working with intergrals and doing u sub we have du equal the derivative of u
<@&268886789983436800> do ya thing
what is dy/dx
huh
i could solve for dy in terms of dx
dy/dx is a fraction
if i have that dy/dx = 3
i could say dy=3dx
a small change in y
is equal to 3 * the small change in x
aka y = 3x
dy = 3 dx
dy / dx = 3
i still dont undertsand ignoring the fact your just using it as a fraction wich ig works but i still dont know how that makes du the derivative of u
ok
how about you try an exercise and tell us what part u don't get
u=x^2?
yes!, and now?
du/dx=2x
good, and now?
idk
du / dx = 2x
In actual maths, you can't really just multiply by dx
would you like to know how it really works?
yea
well do you knwo the fundimental theorem of calculus?
umm yeah i know it but i dont know why its true
well it states this:
(...where F is any function that satisfies F'(x) = f(x) )
obv
(still should be said - I've had students not be able to tell the difference between F and f somehow)
yeah idk notation in calc hits a wall in readability compared to algebra

need help with this
What have you tried?
If u can find DE ,it means u can find the coordinates of D and E right?
yeah
What do you get?
uh let me think
x =k
And y is 0 so the equation would be x=k for DF
Do u k the equation of a straight line which is parallel to y axis?
Yea?
cause x of D is k and its just x=k
Yes
