dude chill
oh good lord
- T (Temperature): 1 = Too high, 0 = Acceptable
- W (Wind speed): 1 = Too high, 0 = Acceptable
- R (Rain): 1 = Detected, 0 = Not detected
- M (Manual override): 1 = On, 0 = Off
Read the bullet points carefully. Look for keywords like AND, OR, and NOT (or
words that imply a NOT, like "off" or "acceptable" when the default '1' state is
"on" or "high").
- Part A: "the temperature is too high"
- Looking at the table, "too high" means T = 1. So we just use T.-
Keyword: "and" \rightarrow This will be an AND gate.
-
Part B: "the wind speed is acceptable"
- Looking at the table, "acceptable" means W = 0.
- Because logic circuits trigger on 1s (True), if we want a condition to
be met when the input is 0, we must invert it. We use a NOT gate. - This becomes NOT W.
-
Keyword: "and" (The second bullet point connects the first line to the third
line with an AND). -> This will be a final AND gate combining everything. -
Part C: "rain is not detected"
- Table says "not detected" is R = 0. We need to invert this to make it a
1 for our logic. - This becomes NOT R.
- Table says "not detected" is R = 0. We need to invert this to make it a
-
Keyword: "or" -> This will be an OR gate.
-
Part D: "the manual override is off"
- Table says "off" is M = 0. We need to invert this.
- This becomes NOT M.
-
etc

The answer is B. Why do we consider the cases where alpha = 1 or -1?
I got the bounds by making the function either strictly increasing or decreasing
What is sin (-1) and sin (1)
You are trying to make them a linear functions that is monotonic.
it is.
The reason why you include alpha = +-1 is because it still make f a strictly monotonic function.
Which satisfies conditions to be an injective function.
Out of curiosity, how did you make the function "strictly increasing"?
set the derivative > 0
I see I see.
Let me ask you a question
Do you think y = x^3 is strictly increasing?
for strictly incerasing, the derivative is greater than or equal to zero right
Ehhh also not true
Take the function y = 0 from x <= 2 and y = (x - 2)^2 from x > 2
This is not strictly increasing.
oh
but its derivative is negative
This is sort of the point I was leading up to; showing the derivative is non-negative or non-positive only shows that it is increasing or decreasing (not strictly).
From x > 2, sorry.
Meant to clarify that
for x greater than or equal to 2, the function is strictly increasing
Sure, but for all x the function is increasing.
how do we identify if it would be one-to-one for case where f'(x) = 0
And the derivative is greater than or equal to 0.
The point is, f' >= 0 does not imply f is strictly increasing.
can you give an example
I literally just did
The function f(x) = 0 from x < 2 and f(x) = x^2 from x >= 2 is an increasing function with a non-negative derivative.
Or even a simpler example than that
The constant function
The derivative is 0 but it isn't strictly increasing
You need to show that f'(x) = 0 has at most one solution
Well
your right, i got confused between increasing and strictly increasing
Actually you need to show that for if f'(a) = 0 and f'(b) = 0, you need to show that f(a) is not f(b).
why is that the case?
Because if a, b are different, you want to show f(a) is not f(b)
Otherwise if f(a) = f(b), that automatically means it's not strictly increasing
There's probably a nicer result to show but this is the one that comes to mind immediately
ok, thank you

or have i done something wrong
1/arccosec is NOT arcsin.
the relationship does not hold that way.
what IS correct is that $arccosec(x) = \arcsin(\frac1{x})$.
go maximax or go home (Chiaki)
please don't say that. anything else though?
nono
ah, alright then. you can close the channel when done.

Im a bit confused, do we use series or the pascals triangle
pascal's triangle is just the graphical representation of n over k
Woah woah, why does it say you use binomial theorem for small powers...
Yeah I was confused about that too, the point of using it is to not have to expand big powers.
For small powers we use Pascal's triangle
Because to see how the n'th power looks I have to calculate how every power from 1..n-1 would look
Why? You can use nCk for all
I mean yeah
Yeah but that is annoying sometimes, I hate having to compute choose stuff

so how do I go about this
Well you look at your theorem
And look at the question
from that we can see n=3
So k needs to loop from 0,1,2,3
Here me out
To make it very clear substitute every value except for k
Into the binomial theorem

$\sum_{k=0}^{3} \binom{3}{k} a^{3-k}b^k$
Nyxzore
Agreed?
It's a dummy variable for the sum
Ooooh
Exciting question
You could do this by hand
Let's say (a+b)^1
Then you could use your foil or whatever to do
Agree
It would get messy after 2
Indeed
The relationship is kind of interesting
If you try your tedious algebra
And look at the coefficients that you get
And then draw Pascal's triangle next to it
You'll see a striking resemblance
Then the question is is there a way that I can get the n'th row and the k'th item in Pascal's triangle
And that's where our nCk comes from
Well not really there's nothing mathematically wrong from how you're doing it
It's just messy and easy to F up
Fair
But it's bad to say we use the binomial theorem because this is easy to mess up
That's a consequence of discovering the binomial theorem
I should ask myself is there a way
To generalise this process
For the n'th power?
Well I can kind of see a pattern if I look at the first 3 or 4 powers
You should take note of:
How do my powers of a change as I look through the terms
How do my powers of b change
And how do my coefficients change
The last part is the hardest
And where I will cheat and tell you to draw Pascal's triangle next to your list of coefficients
Are you taking about this two similar algebraic identity, where the powers of a sand b increase/decrease consecutively
Isn’t it a^n-1
.
If you'd be willing I'd be more than happy to give a more visual explanation in the obsidian vcshea later today

I have a question regarding binomial theorm
For example
You have (1+2i)^-2
Upto what terms do we expansion?
Sure im down

Hi, I am starting with limits and i am js wondering whether this is correct.
Show that lim x->1 (5x-3) = 2
Heres my answer :
We can set x0 as 1 since the value of x is approaching 1. Hence 0<mod(x-1)<delta. Epsilon>mod((f(x)-L)) Therefore Epsilon>mod(5x-5) So : mod(x-1)<Epsilon/5 0<mod(x-1)<Delta Hence delta = epsilon/5.
I get the premise with the delta and epsilon stuff, but i dont rlly know how to draw a conclusion. This is kinda the best i can do and am wondering how to clearly write a proper conclusion, i mean i think the rest is pretty decent. js starting out tho
do you understand why and how we are trying to use the epsilon and delta? like what do these variables intuitionally mean
I think you have the right idea, however delta epsilon proofs are usually written in the other direction: you pick epsilon , then set the appropriate delta and you do the calculations after. What you did is kinda like draft work, you only need to write the steps in reverse I think
Then it will be easier to see the conclusion
i know that delta is kinda like a domain, that strays from x0, and that epsilon is kind of like the range, at least thats what i understood.
isnt it like we have the delta
and we're trying to obtain an epsilon?
alr lemme try it out
usually no or maybe I'm tripping
yeah so when we say that lim (x --> 1), to use this information, we introduce delta as a variable which says how much we are absolutely straying from x_0
$\delta = |x-x_0|$
Ultimator
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
i mean if you use the values i got you get mod(x-1) for both, so i thought that was it
i inputted the value for delta, which is epsilon / 5
now with this information, we are trying to prove that (after assuming that L = 2)
$| f(x) - L | < \epsilon $
mhm, then we get | 5x-5 |
where f(x) is 5x-3
so we can say g(x) = f(x) - L
and we have to prove | g(x) | < epsilon
where epsilon is something we dont really know about
we just know it is some positive quantity
the way we say that the limit holds, is that
if for ANY delta, the g(x) is less than SOMETHING
then even when delta approaches a minuscule number (almost zero)
the inequality holds
if we can show that epsilon is a function of delta
then the epsilon also approaches zero in that case
so we can say that the limit of g(x) has to equal 0
basically we have proved that no matter how close x is to x0, the value of f(x) keeps getting closer to L and never strays off
in other words, the limit of f(x) has to equal L
does the logical flow make sense?
yeah tysm
i think i get it now, tho i was kinda lost when you were using that g(x) terminology
So if i wanna get full marks for example, i js put in my value for delta, which is epsilon / 5, then multiply both sides by 5, hence getting the original equation for epsilon. is that fully right?
you would find the function g(x)
which is 5x - 5 in this case
then from the x - inequality, you try to prove the g(x) inequality
oh, so we are js substituting for practicalitys sake?
substituting what?
the thing is, youre technically supposeds to arrive at the epsilon at the end
like we are putting g(x) as 5x-5
(although my uni profs give marks your way too, i wouldnt rely on it)
mhm, order matters here?
yeah because g(x) = f(x) - L
and we need to show that limit of g(x) is zero
so we need to obtain g(x) to start with the logic
oh okk
yeah thats the beauty tbh
i kinda js learned from this textbook, mind if i send you a picture? i was trynna reverse engineer the way to solve it since its kinda old
can you try to show how the logic flows for your specific limit here?
it should take about 3-4 steps
yeah sure
ill really have to learn latex lol
see, i kinda js copied the logical flow here. find the a kinda common thing between the values of epsilon and delta, then equate to one another to find the value of delta in terms of epsilon
then you kind js substitute epsilon/5
did i really js mess it up that badly or is this method js kinda different?
uhhhh
idk lwk
this textbooks pretty old
maybe this specific example is wrong? i mean this did make sense and yours also made sense
but you can do it both ways
you basically have to show that one inequality implies the other
(and derive a suitable value from the other in the process)
I'll leave this here just since it can help frame what you need to do in general.
could you tell me if and where i went wrong ehehe
I think the only issue from what I read is that it seemed you were explaining that epsilon ought to be a function of delta whereas it should be the opposite. The idea of the limit is that you can make f(x) as close to L as you want (epsilon-close to be exact) provided you choose a suitably small delta for x to range about x_0. In other words, delta is chosen in response to epsilon, not the other way around.
yeah that makes sense
thanks a lot

I've been looking at this for like 20 minutes straight and actually dont understand how im wrong its got to be something dumb someone please help me spot the mistake
I was trying to verify the red circled part but i keep getting something different
like why do i end up with divided by 1-a instead of a-1 bruuuh
Whaat
So the answer spreadsheet has a-1?
I guess it does it must be a mistake
Ehat if
I was like going crazy cause i couldnt get why it went from the red circle answer to the thing below it by subbing in Bsin^2(x) for a
-1-a = ay - y
Exactly
This gives us
-1-a = (a-1)y
y=(-1-a)/a-1
Which is allegedly the same
Thats the answer right?
took y out and left 1-a
yeh
it basically subbed in what a was which was the right side of this
but i was confused to why he got 1+a/1-a when subbing in when the step before he got something else
Now manipulate him into putting you a higher grade
5% chance to get very difficult exam because he’s mad
oh i really should since Im bound to fail next test
You got it
I need 30% on this next one to pass the year yet I only started revising this module today 4 days left
ezzz
aight thx for telling me im not the only one who sees his mistake
makes it a 2v1 at least

Can you shift the frequency of an arbitrary wave f(x) by multiplying x? e.g f(2x) has twice the frequency of f(x)? Seems to work at least for a sin wave but is that correct for all waves?
And if so, can frequency shifting a wave be described as a form of delay? like you're delaying the wave in time by a multiple of its time axis?
I made this graph and if d is the amount of delay you're applying to the wave my conclusion seems to check out but im a little unconfident in my math skills having graduated a while ago :p
Seems you're thinking of horizontal compressions, so yeah.
For $a>1$, $y=f(ax)$ is the result of horizontally compressing the graph of $y=f(x)$ by a factor of $a$.
Civil Service Pigeon
This is not the same thing as a delay though
iirc the term in English is time scaling, which can roughly be thought of as altering how fast the wave cycles
this is all pertaining to this
for this, you're doing a horizontal translation (so shifting left or right without changing the step)
that is a delay (or time shift), which can be thought of as "postponing" the wave in a rough sense
maybe I can phrase it this way, lets say I had a signal going into speakers, and I can delay the time it takes the wave to reach the speakers by an amount in seconds, if I continually increased that delay linearly with time, could that be modelled as f(x*d)
mhm
and that f(x*d) would result in a change in frequency like f(2x) would have twice the frequency of f(x) did I get that right?
yes, that's what I was referring to above
so couldn't you then say a change in frequency is a delay that increases/decreases linearly with time?
constantly changing delays result in frequency shifts if that's what you're trying to get at
this is basically what the Doppler effect is tbf
If a time delay increases linearly with $x$, then the delay can written as $cx$ for some constant $c$
Civil Service Pigeon
The delayed signal would thus be
$$f(x-cx)=f\left(x(1-c)\right)$$
but $1-c$ is just a constant, so let $d=1-c$ and you just get $f(x \cdot d)$
Civil Service Pigeon
ok yeah so I figured I had it right but I wasn't entirely sure, this is all as you may have guessed related to audio engineering, theres a common sayign that every effect on a wave can be described as either gain or delay, and if I understand it right thats because any change in y axis can be described as an arbitrarily complicated gain and same for x and delay, seems to check out
anyways thanks, you helped a lot

So Im tryna understand derivatives and stuff (just out of curiousity) im wondering why the derivative of this function (just a random function i thought of) crosses through at that soecific point. I have a firm grasp on graphing and functions but i cant seem to grasp derivatives quite yet, all the YouTube videos i watch dont really explain it that clearly.
i think you need to encase the function entirely when applying the d/dx on desmos
i think it reads it as just d/dx (5x^2) and then adds the rest of the terms, because the real derivative is 10x + 5 meaning it should cross the y-axis at x=0 and should be 5 , not 2
Yeah, you need parentheses around the function

progress:
nothing I forgot the formula
do I get the cross product of the normal vectors and insert that to like R(t)=<normal vector>t+<point>
dw guys this is for my finals I know I'm definitely not cooking
wait
does this work wtf
yeah first cross the two normals
well now I assume the cross product is the direction vector
and the point insert yadda yadda
you would get lets say uh vector c and then yeah
yeah thats the method
if the determinant comes out to be zero then do you know what it implies?
altho idts it comes as 0 here
I assume <1, -10, 6>t+<-1, 4, 2>=0 or something
-1,10,6 was what you got after corssing?
am I correct or am I gonna have to restudy this for
1, -10, 6
aight thats correctthen
nah you good
I have some atrocious notes
OH WAIT
I'm prolly restudying this
it asks the plane
yeah
not the line
isn't
oh shi
wait hold on
no wonder I felt something was wrong
😭
(x+1)-10(y-4)+6(z-2)=0
you cant do -1,4,2 here in that way
yeahh
had a feeling 🥀
if I ever get linalg I'm failing
same🥀🥀
?
we can get the normal vector and the vector containing both points and then figure out the plane containing both vectors from there
nope it doesn't work
brute force 🥀
yeah i think so
ok we have a plane and two points
wait this works
i dont see why it shouldnt
we can get a normal line out of the plane and we can get a line from -2 1 4 to 1 0 3
now the issue is how do I find the plane containing those vectors
so thats two lines in the plane reqd
well that'd be THE NORMAL VECTOR OF THE PLANE
OH MY GOD YOU'RE A GENSIU
wow I'm stupid
and washed
alr that's the last of my question

Consider what the condition (i) states.
Wdym
If F + T > mgsin30
F> mgsin30 -lamdax mg?
Im not precisely looking for an equation here.
What happens if B is too heavy? > say, 3,4 or 5 times as heavy as A
A moves up the plane
Okay, so our problem is that we have to show that B, can, at most, be half the mass of A (in reality just below that)
Ohh
Notably, we will show that if massB = m/2
Then the system remains static. > which is usually thought as the frontier condition for (i) to not be satisfied
I see
Ill have to hint you at it, consider that the coefficient μ here is for the dynamic friction.
Mu x R = mgsin30 - lamdamg
lambda here = 1/2
Oki
friction equals 0 when there’s no movement ?
If its the dynamic friction, yes
Theres the static one that responds entirely to the forces being applied to the object, but youll see that all forces cancel here.
The Dynamic Friction is a constant force that resists movement
The Static Friction is a force that is applied opposite to another force that wants to move the object.
Dynamic one is always present in the case of movement
Static matches the force that is being applied (up to a certain limit)
How do we know this is dynamic
(i) A is moving down
Oki
You could assume that the dynamic and statics factor are equal, but even so, since your forces cancel out, then it doesnt really matter
there wont be any friction force.
You should probably set it up as
Σ F = 0.5mg - (sin30)mg
To denote that the sum of forces will be 0
since this alreayd assumes that the sum of forces is 0 which isnt necesarilly true
(it is the case anyways)

Prove that eqn a²+b²= 3c² has no solutions in positive integers a,b,c.
well
idk if im right but if you see
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
whats the formula that pops up in your head?
I'm thinking you could consider squares mod3
pythagoreas yeah but how do i connect that here
consider a,b,3c to be part of a triangle
an imaginary one of course.
sqrt(3)
Same from there i get a has to be 0 mod 3, same as b
sorry, yes.
a,b,c are integers 😭
yeah both have to be divisible by 3
so what can we say about their sum
.. and?
c² also divisible by 3
Yes so how do we proceed from there
Ok i shall leave this to nautilius.
@ionic blaze but do try saying if my method is appropriate.
I assume triangle of a,b, c sqrt 3
don't think it is
well
let a=3n, and b=3m for arbitrary integers m and n
square those what do you get
9(n²+m²)
which is equal to what?
3c²
divide both sides by 3
bare with what I have to say I don't know contradictions
same thing
well intuitively you can say that n^2+m^2 must be divisible by an odd power of 3 since c is an integer squared
which isn't possible
Wait how did we get to this
well
(a + b)/c = root (3)
(a^2 + b^2)/c^2 = (sqrt(3))^2
(a^2 + b^2)/c^2 = (a^2 + b^2 + 2ab)/c^2
2ab = 0, we considered both integers
a = 0 or b = 0 or both 0.
however since part of a triangle cant be 0..
Ok i feel im going with bs logic, dk why but it clicked lol.
feels right but doesnt feel right.
(a+b)² is not a²+b²
c^2=3(m^2+n^2)
c must be divisible by 3 hence 9 divides 3(m^2+n^2) which means m^2+n^2 must be divisible by an odd power of 3
^
well for one, where'd you get (a+b)/c=sqrt3

it's not going to be a triangle via triangle inequality
I said consider it to be a right angled triangle.
^ so anyways going back to this, mod would yield you that both m and n have to be divisible by 3
i may know how to proceed
as part of pythagorean formula.
(as a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
ok fine someone ping me after yall finish, mb nautilis.
which would only lead to even powers of 3 in m^2+n^2 which would prove the thing as false yadda yadda
Oh contradiction is neat
But can u hear me out
well, if a, b, and csqrt3 are sides of a triangle
a+b>csqrt3 in ALL cases.
I think we can do this by infinite descent
$$
(a^2 - c^2) + (b^2 - c^2) = c^2
$$
$$
a^2 - 2b^2 = -(b^2 - c^2)
$$
$$
3(a^2 - c^2) +- (a^2 - 2b)^2 = 3c^2
$$
$$
3a^2 - 3c^2 + 2b^2 = 3c^2
$$
$$
3a^2 + 2b^2 = 9c^2
$$
of a euler triangle
yes..
What is this 😭
so how did you equate a+b=csqrt3?
damn i was dumb
xD my bad.
i haven't read everything so far but consider both sides mod 4. it's not that long this way
ain't the 2nd line just kinda
saying that -c^2=c^2?
Okay but hear me out
even is 0 mod4 while odd is 1mod4
i think this i can do by well ordering principle
it's easy to see that a,b,c must all be even
oh wow smart
I got problem in my latex
so dividing a,b,c by 2 we get the same equation
and again, they are all even
this cannot continue forever, contradiction
So a²+b²= 3c²,
Let there be a smallest value of c such that this is true
We concluded a,b divisible must be divisible by 3 using modulo 3,
So a= 3a1
b= 3b1
And also c= 3c1 since c divisible by 3 as well
So (3a1)²+ (3b1)²= 3(3c1)²
9a1²+ 9b1²= 27c1²
a1²+ b1²=3c1²
We got same eqn but here c1= c/3 which is contradiction cuz we chose smallest c
Is this valid or am i making a mistake
well
valid actually
im so tuff
ur gonna be in the big leagues one day
poggers
looks good to me
Ignore this for now and come later (ans could be stupid):
||b^2 = 3c^2 - a^2. I consider all to be integers. b = sqrt((sqrt(3)c- a)(sqrt(3)c + a))||
||I believe RHS is defo irrational and b must be an integer so hence proved?||
same idea as mine
I have my math subjective writing exam tomorrow and im so cooked
Ey thanks
u js used modulo 4 instead of 3
But anyways man the geometry problems are the real headache
sqrt2 is irrational, I multiply it to itself, wtf it's rational
RHS is NOT irrational
I mean
+- there tho so thought of it .-.
being able to factor into irrational numbers does not prove that they're not integers
sigh i guess i suck at thinking
whts mod 3 etc?
Where i could go by intuition

I jst need an example, google is giving me bs
this looks like science
A free neutron refers to a neutron that is not bound to an atomic nucleus. When embedded in a stable nuclide, neutrons have not been observed to decay. Free neutrons decay with a mean lifetime of 878.4±0.5 s (nearly 15 minutes), which corresponds with a half-life of around 608 seconds.
The free neutron decays via the weak interaction and may be...
It's actually $n^0 \to e^- + p^+ + \bar{\nu}_e$
the last one is an electron neutrino
dammit latex
i dont care
Annie Maqionde
the last one is an electron neutrino
they have equal and opposite charges
its called free neutron decay i think
what is your question?
its phy, comes under electrostatics

where did I go wrong?
Which one?
my result is x=0 and x=-1 but it's not there...
Oh it's a multiple choice question?
So you got t(t+1) = 2
yeah
You figured out that t= 1 is a solution
What about the other one
t = 2
2(2+1)=2?
Coincidence
Show work
👍
huh
log_2(-2) doesnt exist no?
No
so it's just "ignore the second solution"?
cause i was making -log_2(2) but that's not how equations work...
ok so solution is D, right?

simplify the sin term using lim(x-->0)sinkx/kx =1 , and then use the taylor expansion series for sin and cos terms to simplify the equation and to get the value as (1+(k+1)x)^2/x
now use the property
lim(x-->0) (1+x)^1/x = e
in this case,
(1+(k+1)x)^1/(k+1)x = e
(1+(k+1)x)^6/(k+1)x = e^6
so, you have 6/(k+1) = 2
k+1 = 3
k = 2
<@&268886789983436800> one more here
<@&268886789983436800>
id say theres an easier way
if the x goes in the bracket
then using algebra it can be split into 3
right
and then just small angle approximation because x tends to 0
wont that work
nvm
nvm
denominator
mb
Can we actually just use angle approx
standard limits
or we really need sin x / x
nope because x is in the denominator too
so the better way is
standard identities
prob
but then how do i get sinkx in the Dr
multiply and divide
by sin kx
so you can get sin(sinkx)/sinkx and sinkx/kx both
write x as kx
btw

I already did #1-#4 and got that in #3, the eigenvalues were $1, -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i, -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i$ using the characteristic polynomial, so then it follows that the 3x3 matrix has 3 distinct eigenvalues implies T is diagonalizable over C. My question is: is there an easier way to do #3?

we didnt really cover much about rotation matrices and only did the 2x2 case, so i had to look up the 3x3 case around a given axis
You shouldn't look up the matrix. What does T do to the standard basis? Take the vectors you get from that, slap them together, that's the matrix for T
Actually, you probably needed to do that for 2
Anyway, looking at 3:
since rotating three times returns the vector back, you have:
T³ = I
Is that what you did? I imagine that's the easiest way.
@wind cypress
If you happen to be skilled with complex numbers, you'll recognize those as:
cos(0pi/3) + isin(0pi/3)
cos(2pi/3) + isin(2pi/3)
cos(4pi/3) + isin(4pi/3)
Which represent the complex numbers that cube to 1

how do i do this?
please @ me
Sine theorem?
Or first, recall, what is the total angle of a triangle?
180
180-58-48?
Start with a.
Great.
and then i find side c?
Now, let's roll with sine theorem?
bet
Well firstly you got the ratio of sin48 / 7.
For example, if you want to find side AB, then what is the angle opposing it?
Ah, question c?
no im answer the question opposite of AB is C
Correct.
u answered at the worse time possible, i need to go have breakfast can i get 30min?
ok cya
Ping me when you are done. Might go for 30 or more,
looks good
thank u
@austere goblet ive got 1 more question
<@&286206848099549185>
im finding hard to find which angle to use
Great.
Well if you know sine theorem, just pick an angle that is opposing a side with a given length.
send the problem
Used c for multiplication
Correct.
Moey
$\frac{\sin{C}}{x} =\frac{\sin{B}}{7}$
Mercury (ヤフォダ)
Then would it be: $x= \frac{7\sin{C}}{\sin{B}}$?
Mercury (ヤフォダ)
Yes
Now it makes sense
But how are u so sure we use sin B and not sin A
Because you are trying to find AB, not BC.
So is there a formula?
Yes pls
$\frac{\sin{A}}{a} =\frac{\sin{B}}{b}=\frac{\sin{C}}{c}$
Mercury (ヤフォダ)
Like this.
Idk the answer of each of them are equal?
Like this triangle.
Yes I see
Yes
I have the same formula u sent me
But it don't explain it
Ohh I get it now
I think
I think it is because of how sine function is defined and the geometric properties of triangles...
I get it sin C/c =sin B/b
Correct.
Now it makes lots of sense appreciate the help brotha/sister
And that's all
Have an awesome morning/day/night

Hey
please post your question
hi
also hi
Good morning
hi x4
do you have a question?
I need fomula like to a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca=0 then a=b=c. Or. if a2+b2+c2+ab+bc+ca=0 then a=b=c=0
I need some stuff of formula which indirectly reduce the questions
For competitive exam
I know them
But i didn't knew has one can u help me prove it
Proved it
Need help
,roate
,rct
,rct
,rccw
Is p³=q³=0
this is C right
How
not sure based on instinct
yeah
alright cool i know how to do it then
Bro in jee if there is 0 then answer us 90% 0 i also know iy
I wrote 90%
Instead, I thinkg it's be useful to compuet det ((P+Q)^3)
I also thought same
It's it 2p³/q³
subtract the 2 given conditions and take determinant of both sides
oh that's better
Hey I have a question in statistics, where do I go for that?
you have given jee?
this one's occupied you can try other available 1s
unfortunately
Same as me
I say "unfortunately" as the only reason I signed up for JEE was for the physics questions 
damn
wsup
cool
who pinged da helpers
and then they decided to give me the easiest questions ever which scrwed me over(for obvious reasons)
hy bbg who's troublin u
bro theres another channel he has opened
🤦🏼♂️
easiest 😭?
🥹
Nah
oh lord
||compute by hand||
there's no other way
What u mean
find the product
It will take million
yea ignore him
which question?
See bit up
2nd
2
the only other way is to break it down into block matrices and do that
alr so you need the determinant of the product of A nd B
computing each one by hand is a long process
There is a way to directly get answer 0 by sir told us
the det of each one isn't defined
why dont you split the determinant
But i am vonfused
you cant even say that the AB would give us 0 because theres a chance it couldnt
too
Answer 0
wdym "split"
wrong reply
U can give it try it would make 4 detements
yea, splitting as in using the properties
the det function isn't defined for rectangular matrice....
