gimme a sec reading
so yea
if you buy the algebra
this is how itd end
this shows you can just take the given information and the proposed formula, and get any term
so the algebra comes from just like
usually in these proofs where you need to connect screwy algebra, youll off to the side or in the margins or something, just assume what you want to be true
so wed write out $u_{n+1} = \frac{3(n+1)-2}{(n+1+1)^2} = \frac{3n+1}{(n+2)^2}$
jan Niku
then youd eye this formula for a second
and notice you need to introduce a u_n somewhere on the rightest side of that equation
and youd hope that the algebra works out to give you the thing on the top
so you just do it
$u_{n+1} = u_n + \frac{3n+1}{(n+2)^2} - u_n$
jan Niku
add it, subtract it, so still argebraically valid
even though we cant use any of this work directly in the proof since we just assumed the conclusion right off the bat
now, it sort of seems like, eyeing this, that itll work out
you should end up with (n+2)^2 (n+1)^2 in the bottom when you turn this into a single fraction
so all you need to do is check that the numerator works out
id encourage you to try this scratch step on your own since uhh
well to convince yourself
id start from here, and sub in the second u_n for the provided formula in part b
see if you can get to this
if you can, then your scratch work, in reverse order, gives you all the steps you need for your proof
since you began with what you want to show, if you do it backwards, youll end with showing what you want to show 😄
i can get to this

damm
fun problem
hahaha
XD
i will try

np
We (as me and @hazy nebula ) has 2 weeks before examination 😂 hopefully it will get easier by then 🤔
putting in the work is all you can do ig 💪

that'd be when your revenue equals your total expenses
The break-even point (BEP) in economics, business—and specifically cost accounting—is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal, i.e. "even". There is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even", though opportunity costs have been paid and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return. In short, all costs that must b...

village with 500 people, men to women 4 : 1. 90% of men are right handed and 75% of women are left handed. Are there more women with left hand or men with right hand
um
with what exactly
the answer is obvious
there are not only 4 times more men, but a higher percentage of men are right handed
well start by using the ratio to determine how many men and women there are in the village
75 percent of women are left handed
you know there is a total of 500 and there is a 4:1 ratio
huh
I want to know how to workvout these questiom
.
Im lost bro
do you not know how to get a quantity based on ratios?
No im new to ratios
if there is a ratio of men to women that is 4:1, that means there are 4 times as many men as there are women
i know what would help
In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8∶6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4∶3). Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6∶8 (or 3∶4) and the ratio of oranges to th...
for the love of god stop sending wikipedia links
Oh ye
So the first thing i do is to add the rwtios
yes
ah that's what you meant up here
i thought you were talking about two different ratios
my bad
Oh
yes, add the ratios and divide the total quantity by the sum of the ratios
500/5?
100
right
so now you refer back to your 4:1 ratio
and multiply the new number you got, 100, by each ratio
and that will give you the total number of men and women, respectively
So 400:100
it doesn't need to be expressed in a ratio anymore, but yes
M:w
there are 400 men and 100 women
OMG TY

how many numbers under 500 are divisible by neither 2, 3, or 5?
are we talking prime factors?
wdym
Simple python function if you are up for that
oh aight
the first thing is to delete all numbers ending in 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 0
il do java
then delete all remaining numbers that have a digital root of 3, 6, or 9
Np I prefer java but python is so quick
Anyhow. If I understand correctly you want all numbers not divisible by 2/3/5?
okay
Eeh you know how it goes, just do if(i%2!=0){ add to array}
Im not gonna type the rest
I’d probably use a while loop as you can just change i in your config file
But you can do whatever
Gl and have fun

is the center 4, -4?
My solving is wrong coz the end of the diameter 3,1 is too close to the center for the radius to be 8
,rotate
is the center 4, -4?
no
Then wot do i do
do something like completing the square to get the equation of the circle in standard/ centre-radius form
Yeah this is what i did
the centre (2,-2) written on the page is correct
but the radius is wrong in multiple ways (but you don't really need that)
If you complete the square you should get (x-2)^2
You add 4 to complete but the factored form has a 2 for those
ok ill do it again
Line 3
What's 2+4+4?
2 + 4 + 4 isn't 8
and the equation of a circle in standard form (with centre (h,k) and radius r) is NOT
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r
i forgot about the 2
,calc 10^0.5
Result:
3.1622776601684
wait i square root? ok
What do you mean?
r^2 = 10
solve for r>0
like when im writing my solution at which part of the solution do i square root
technically you don't actually need the radius
yeah just find the point to the opposite side
but the teacher might make a fuss so ill just complete it
and if you can achieve that without getting r, don't bother getting r
Here @crisp wharf
$$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$$
$$\text{center is (a, b) and radius is r}$$
bakasta
oh thanks
It would be more trouble to somehow use the length of the radius
On the right hand side you've 10
Here check this text
aight
(The center is the midpoint of the 2 ends of the diameter)
yeah
His method is quite easy and less tedious

Hello, I need more help with a problem I was initially working on. I really don't know what I should be doing here. I did the first few steps, turning the roots into exponents, but I don't know how to approach an expression being divided by another one.
first write out all the things being multiplied or divided
it's x^3 * (x+6)^1/2 / (x^2+2x+1)^1/7
(idk if that's a cube root on top or x^3)
logarithm turns those into pluses and minuses
looks like x^3
so it becomes
x^3 PLUS (x+6)^1/2 MINUS (x^2+2x+1)^1/7
ahh I see
so would the problem be ended with x^3+(x+6)^1/2 - (x^2+2x+1)^1/7?
the exponents get brought to the front too
you might wanna refresh log rules
yeah I got behind in this class and never really got to fully learn them but didn't know where to start
you can google "log rules" and go to images

A 16m long rope is used to form the three sides of a rectangle, one of whose ribs rests along a wall, as shown in the figure below.
a. Find x and y so that the rope limits the part with the largest surface.
b. Another rope is used to limit a surface of 50m ^ 2 in the same conditions as the first. What is the shortest length he can have?
I found a) with the values x = 4 m and y being 8 m
but, Im struggling to find b)
I did: Area = x * y
50 = x * y
50/x = y. Then used this on the perimeter formula:
P = 2x + y
P = 2x + 50/x
I found the derivative of this equation, and got the values x = 5m and y = 10m
with the total length of the rope 20m
but, when I checked the answers, the total length should have been 15m
Im not sure what I've missed
@runic tulip Has your question been resolved?
at a), I could change the original formula of the perimeter of the rectangle from P = 2x + 2y to 2x + y, but Im not sure if I should leave the Area = x * y the same in b)
<@&286206848099549185>
the bounded region is still a rectangle
so you'd still use the same formula for the area
your work is fine
Do you think the author made some error?
probably

Currently I need to transpose L in fR = 1/2π√LC to make L the subject in this equation
however each time I do that it doesn't work out exactly (I rearranged it to be L = (1/2π)/√C)^2)/fR)
(and it doesn't work)
currently the values for this would be
fR = 460kHz
C = 12
and if I redo the equation with it I don't get 460kHz back
(even if I convert it in any way, shape or form)

I feel there is a very simple explanation but I must ask.
The red line is the graph of g(x).
What does it mean, then, and why, when it lets h(x) = ..... g(t)dt? Why is it represented in terms of t?
fundamental theory of calculus
Ok, but that just causes me to ask again: why is that represented with t?
Because you can’t use x both inside the integral and as an integration extreme
It’s confusing, so they use this notation instead

Hi, knowing q = 11, it is possible to compute α from a(2)=3 and a(4)=4? Thanks
@slim reef Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
yes ig
bcos 2 equation and 2 variable
well do you consider the fact that it's in a polynomial field?
it's a question of abstract algebra
a(2) and a(4) gives eqn in alpha and beta so can't we solve it ?
idk abt abstract algebra sorry
we can't necessarily solve since it's not in Z but Zq
no problems ^^
why can't we
let's at least try and see what happens
@slim reef
Z_11 is a field, so you can solve systems of linear equations over it just fine
using the exact same motions you go through when solving a system of equations in the real numbers
the only difference is when you have to divide by something
Hi Ann
Yeah I understand, thanks
I'm trying to solve
@slim reef Has your question been resolved?
oki so:
a(2)= α2^5 + β2^3 + (2α+β)
-> 3 = 10α + 8β + 2α + β = 12α + 9β = 1α + 9β (1)
a(4)= α4^5 + β4^3 + (2α+β)
-> 4 = α + 9β + 2α + β = 3α + 10β (2)
(1), (2) -> -9+4 = -3α + 3α -27β + 10β = -3α + 3α -5β + 10β
-> -5 = 5β -> β = -1
now for α:
3 = α + 9β -> α = 3-9β = 3+9 = 12 = 1
is this correct?
(still considering the process in Z11)
@quasi bison sorry for the ping 😅
your answer matches mine
thanks a lot! 😄
there was a second part to the question: in Z13, if only one equation a(i) = n, n ∈ Z13 and i ∈ {1,...,7} is known, then any α ∈ Z13 is possible
do you think it's true?
well you have two unknowns and only one equation so yeah you have insufficient info as is
or just saying it in this way is sufficient
are we dealing with the polynomial a(x) = alpha x^5 + beta x^3 + (2alpha+beta) still
yes
i would check whether x^5 + 2 has a root in Z_13
which idk off the top of my head if it does
thanks
what would happen if it's one of its roots?
the equation would end up involving beta only
dunno but it probably wouldn't hurt
oki thanks

Does anyone know what this means? It’s for a scatter plot
I think it refers to any problems with the scatter plot which will make it inaccurate, for example some scatter plots may not be valid for certain scenarios or after they pass certain values they become invalid. When someone buys a car a scatter plot may suggest that the price of the car doesnt fall below a certain value when in reality after 100 years the car will be worthless. That would be an example of a limitation.
oh ok

I have a question, is the integral of f(x)dx from 0 to 9 equal to the integral of f(u)du from 0 to 9 given that u=x^2. Why is that?
I mean i know u and x are merely variables but i also don't understand how they can be equal in function yet u=x^2
is the integral of f(x)dx from 0 to 9 equal to the integral of f(u)du from 0 to 9 given that u=x^2.
It is not. Making this u-sub will change the bounds and add a 1/2x in the u-integral
@undone osprey Has your question been resolved?
@queen parcel this is after the sub. The original intregal is xf(X) from 0 to 3. After substituting, you are left with 1/2 * the integral of fu du from 0 to 9
Given also that the integral from 0 to 9 of fx dx is 4
Would the answer end up as 4
<@&286206848099549185>
I am thinking it has to do with it being continuous

I am wondering how time is correlated with probability. Let me explain:
There is a game, and each round of the game you have 20% chance to win. Each round takes 10 seconds. How long, then, is the expected amount of time it takes to win the game?
<@&286206848099549185> please help! ^
Well in my opinion, since you have a 1 in 5 chance to win the game, it would take on average 5 games to win, so I'd say that the expected amounted of time would be 50 seconds
@strange compass
@strange compass Has your question been resolved?
I'm not sure if it can be boiled down to so simple a conclusion. What 50 seconds represents in my opinion is "You ought to need 5 trials at most to win this game". Like worst case scenario. That's not accounting for the possibility of winning on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th trial.

how to solve this
<@&286206848099549185>
@late garnet do you still need help with this?
yes
is it the presence of a nested fraction that is scaring you?
idk how to solve problems like these
...
okay so like
you've posted a second problem here
what's up with that
which one do you want help with
the one with x or the one with t
the t one
okay
have you solved linear equations before?
maybe ones where the numbers are whole rather than fractions
if i gave you the equation 5x = 16 would you be able to solve it?
?!
idk
you're saying the solution to 5x = 16 is x = 1200??
nono
or did you just blurt out a number at random
you divide both sides by 5 to get x = 16/5, yes.
maybe relearn how to solve one-step linear equations
judging from what i've seen, this problem is too complicated for you to handle at the moment
since you struggle even when the numbers are just integers, let alone fractions
you need to practice solving equations with integer coefficients first, then come back to this
.-.
there is no way around this
yes, the answer in this case does happen to be t = -1/8...

what don't you understand
yeah
do you know the slope formula?
rise/run doesn't ring a bell?
then you may want to review your notes or something
if you're learning about slope, i'm sure you were
$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
maybe this?

if I'm told to find the extrema values on a region described by f(x,y) and a inequality, why do I also have to find the critical values of f(x,y) in addition to completing lagrange multipliers?
shouldn't using delta f(x,y) = lamda delta g(x,y) find all the critical points in this region?

I'm not sure
Because I havent studied this level yet
But Im sure this must be the answer
It takes a lot of time to type, so sorry for the delay
@maiden mural Has your question been resolved?
@lost patrol can you tell me like from where did u get this answer ... its clearly printed , so i am guessing you didn't "solve" it technically but also u must have not googled , because i didn't find anything like this on google. can you come in dms and tell me some of these things whenever ur free?
what !!! how?
You can come into DMs and I can explain the answer
i am impressed with ur typing XD
okay
but i haven't been taught integration yet
its from Derivatives chapter i guess
well this is a question of calculus imo
yep i saw that. that was very smart. no calculus and still get the answer using logic
Well yeh kinda
Welcome!

ok so
i did thefirst differenc
7, 11, 15
and thats 4
4/2 = 2
so 2n^2
wrote square numbers
wait
ohh
i see where i went wrmg
Ok so usually what you do to find the next part is to find the 0th term
So work backwards. To go from 37 to 22 you take away 15, and for the next term you take away 11, then 7. It is going down in 4s so the 0th term would be the first term takeaway 3.
Do you understand that?
ok so do you know what i mean by the 0th term
yes
okey dokey so we want to find that so we are going to work backwards
how do you go from 37 to 22 (4th to 3rd term)
haha
😅
yes that's right
Ok so the same to go from the 3rd term to the 2nd term (22 to 11)?
-11
and 2nd to 1st?
-7
ok so do you see that's a pattern of -4 each time
yes
ok so to go from the 1st term to the 0th term do you understand what we have to do?
i apologise sorry i'm not the best at explaining things
so we are taking away 4 less than the previous time each term
-7-4
(-15, -11, -7)
so you'd take away 4 less than -7 which is -3
sorry i don't think i really explained that very well
ok makes sense
so you'd do 4-3 which is 1
so you have 1 as the 0th term and that 1 can go into your answer
so currently we have 2n^2 + 1
go for it
yup
Will what work? Finding the 0th term?
ye
yes
can you also see that it is n?
nth term?
yes
so you're also adding n to it each time
yes
go for it :)
ok so 4 is the first term yes?
yes
it basically stands for the term it is so for the first term n = 1
for the 5th term n = 5
for the 900th term n = 900
okay
so that's why if you work out the differences to get to the number when you have 2n^2 + 1 it is +1 +2 +3 +4 +5
because you need to add n
which is 1 in the first term, 2 in the second term, 3 in the third term etc
what are you asking sorry?
idk im a bit confused with the +n still
the videos I watched they didnt explain this part too
i'm not too sure how to explain it. i just see it as a pattern (+1 +2 +3 +4 +5) so it has to be n. do the videos explain how to do quadratic sequences in a way you understand?
if so you should probably just listen to it
my teacher taught me i just needed to look over
but i dont remember the n thing
and they dont show nsadly
Yeah i think it's because you just kind of have to see it. Does the video go through the question we just did?
thee end doesnt go up 1 like us
oh
2 to 3
i see nopw
ok thank you very much @delicate oar
my pleasure. hope i helped somewhat haha
ohh wowee best of luck to you
and complete the revision hw
yeah you got this
You're doing all you can to be honest. You're revising hard which is all you can ask for
I'm sure you'll do fine
Most people won't revise I can assure you that
yeah
it is my fault to be honest
my classmates understand the teacher
but I cannot
so i end up doing it myself
Ahh ok. I mean obviously asking the teacher to help might be useful but i get that can be a bit embarassing sometimes
sometimes I try but I still dont understand
In that case you're doing all that you can do by doing revision tasks and asking on here as well
You got this
i try to do like 3 hrs
a day
but im quite slow being honest
ive only completed surds.
and theres so many topics
As long as you take the time to understand what you are doing that's fine
better to go slow and understand than go fast and not understand
ah right ok do you have an example question?
ok so hang on a min lemme pull up paint
alright
Usually you set it out like this. Having the x^2 in the top left and the number term in the bottom right
This video shows you how to factor polynomials such as binomials and trinomials by removing the greatest common factor, using the ac method, substitution, and so much more. This video contains plenty of shortcut, tips, and tricks that will help you to pass your algebra class regardless if you're taking algebra 1, 2, or college algebra. This vi...
ok thank you both
interesting method
Then I usually just right out the possible combinations to get the 12
my friend told me to find common thing but it confusd me
I think you're talking about factoring using GCF
like for the number out of brackets
whats GCF
Greatest common factor
Like 2x^2 + 4x + 8, where all the terms, the GCF is 2
So you can rewrite as 2(x^2 + 2x + 4)
That video should help out with that concept too
Would you say it's probably best for Zalgoh to watch the video
It's probably not worth me trying to struggle to explain it haha
I've never really helped people out with maths before
well you have today
i've tried my best haha
do i watch first part?
thanks
Yes
@worthy hemlock Thanks for helping out haha
yeah thanks
ill do the factorisation when im done with the hw
oh yeah
this
I learnt about it but I forgot now
i'm probably not best suited to help out with this question
do you mind closing this help channel out and then opening another one so a different helper can help i'm not the best on that topic either haha

Hi, what is the best way to tackle the following integral
the first thing that occured to me was substitution, but the more i think about it the ore i have no idea what to do with it, heh
probably IBP?
integral.
=tex[\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\sqrt{1+16t}}{2\sqrt{t}}]
How do you post tex here?
=tex \int_{0}^{1}\frac{\sqrt{1+16t}}{2\sqrt{t}}
Wrap it in $ $
$\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\sqrt{1+16t}}{2\sqrt{t}}$
chromechris
Thank you!
Np
Am I able to do integration by parts and use the denominator and nominator as either a "u" and "dv"?
I am trying to tackle an arc length of parametric curves problem:
first I found the dx/dt and dy/dt
$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}}$
chromechris
$\frac{dy}{dt}=2$
chromechris
then I just plugged it into the arclength formula for parametric equations
$\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}})^2+(2)^2)}$
chromechris
chromechris
chromechris
So now I don't know if there is a way that I could have simplified this simpler before, or how to proceed from this point

@sacred forum
the first one goes a1+a2+a3+a4…
the second one goes a2+a3+a4…
the difference is a1
Oooh thats what n=2 is?
yes, the first term is a2
the first term when it starts at 1 is a1
so you have to subtract a1

why is $0 * 0^{-1} \neq1$? I know it's undefined by why do we make an exception to this identity for 0?
THEBIGTHREE
cause 0^(-1) is undefined
well yeah but we ignore undefined things all the time, what actually doesn't make sense about it
no... we dont
can't you say 0^-1 = 1/0
and 1/0 = 1/0
1/0 = 0^-1
1 = 0^-1 * 0
k maybe not all the time but sometimes
why don't we just use a nonreal number to represent it instead?
cause it has no definition
We cant, because there is no number to represent
It fails to simply work, if you're referring to something similar to i, which does in fact work and obey algebra
@stoic pilot Has your question been resolved?
The distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac follows from the definition of multiplication as repeated addition and with it we can show the following:
0a=(0+0)a=2*0a<=>0a=0 which goes against the definition of a multiplicative inverse aa^-1=1
