How would I compute the minimum point of the following equation? Where q is a sequence of length c of which the contents fall within the range [0,1] and as such does x
Alternative form:
I guess a is qn ?

how do i solve this?
Find the closed form of each function first
Then multiply the functions and then calculate its power series
what does closed form mean?
how do i find the other series closed form?
g(x)=x+2x^2+3x^3...
x.g(x)= x^2+2x^3...
g(x)(1-x)=x+x^2+x^3...
arkos basically did the whole work for you
but another idea is to differentiate f(x) and multiply by x to get g

Am I breaking up my terms correctly with ln?
@timber snow Has your question been resolved?
$\ln(a+b)\neq \ln(a)+\ln(b)$
Euclid31415
Oh so can I not use ln on that at all?
You can but it won't distribute that much
It would just be ln(numerator)-ln(denominator)
$\ln{\frac {a}{b}}=\ln {a} - \ln {b}$
Frustrated Cat
This right
A thing you could do is divide 8^x from both numerator and denominator
So yeah, limit as x approaches infinity of this expression is indeed 0
I said if x approached positive infinity limit is 0.
I know but like
This we can evaluate directly
I don't understand how 5^x approaches 0
Just replace k=-x so that k can be taken to approach +infinity
It will clear things up
I don't have negative x anywhere
$\lim_{x\to -\infty}5^x=\lim_{k\to \infty}5^{-k}$
Euclid31415
So really small numbers as the exponent of a positive constant will make them approach zero?
Which can be written as 1/(5^k)

x^2 - x = 100
x = ?
Move the 100 over, solve quadratic
x^2 - x + 100 = 0 ?
no
x^2 - x = 100
- x = 10 ?
x is negative right?
If you have x + 123 = 456, how would you solve for x?
456 - 123 = x
Good
In your problem, x^2 - x = 100, you want to set that equal to 0
Meaning "stuff = 0"
How would you do that?
first i do the square root of x^2 ?
No
You want to set that equation equal 0
Meaning you need to get all the terms on one side
How do you do that?
x^2 - x - 100 = 0
Have you never factored quadratics before?
no never, I have just started the equations, I am French, I live in France
have you learnt any other ways of solving quadratics?
Here's a video on factoring
This algebra video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by factoring in addition to using the quadratic formula. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

Will the answer of 8 (a) be 15,120?
9 ! / 4!
no 9c5
choose 5 then put them in order
No, list is an alphabetic order.
Shouldn't we use permutation formula? 😀

then u would have permutations like BACGH

dont really know where to start
Dammit I thought that was a 2 not a pi/2
you just want the slope at 3
The derivative of a function at a point represents the slope of the function at that point
thats graph of g(x) tho
yah
I think he needs to use fundamental theorem of calculus
Ah yes. I missed the g
i understand it to be some sort of composition by i dont know like does the derivative and integral just cancel or something
Do you recall this equation?
since we want the value of f'(3)
we need to find the derivative of the integral
since f(x) is an integral
The problem is, it is not x, it is x squared
yes, since that is the derivative of x^2
so f'(3) = g(3) * 2x?
g(9) is like 3.5 or seomthing weird
unless its 4
its 4
alright so 24 thank you

how are we going from the first step to the second?
am i blind to some sort of basic manipulation of complex numbers haha
If z*w = some real number, what can you say about arg(z) and arg(w)
Or like you can use some tricks of the arg function too
complex conjugates of each other so arguements are opposite?
Yea
right so arg(z) = -arg(z conjugate)
Pretty much
but if z = (a/ ... ) how is its conjugate just the denominator
a is a real number right, then just multiply by the denominator
And it's in the same form as earlier
I need the answer pls

for this question do i simplify (x-2) and put -3 in front of x or do i do it a different way?
you have to square the (x-2) and then u can distribute the 3
do i distribute the 3 to the whole equation or just the (x-2)
@nova roost Has your question been resolved?
Just (x-2)^2
(x-2)^2 is x^2-4x+4
Multiply by 3 then add 13
Then factor or quadratic formula whichever one you want

Question no 2
@sturdy cobalt Which set of numbers in the interval (0,1) is closer to 0 than 0.38?
Yep
Exactly
Alright, thanks
You can complete Q3 in the same way
Do the [] brackets make a difference ??
In the case of probabilities, no
The probability of landing in the interval (a,b) is exactly the same as landing in the interval [a,b]
Since landing on either a or b is a probability 0 event

What is the smallest real number a so that the equation x|x-a|=3 has exactly one real solution?
no calculators allowed 
take the cases for which x ≥ a and x < a
open the mod
you'll get a quadratic
equate D = 0 and find all possible real values of a in each scenario
for x>a, D=0 when a has no real values and for x<a a= sqrt 12 or - sqrt 12
I thought -sqrt 12 but the answer sheet says that a has no smallest value
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Syntax error in part "√3(1 + √2)" (char 2)
for a = -√12, x does have one solution less than -√12 but the other solution is greater...
we should have gotten a common smallest value for both x ≥ a and x < a ig
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
its very tricky
yes coz i am still confused lol
i didnt use a calculator either, just wanted to show you that the "bump" from the x^2 goes down
these looked like this, if you remember
and the reflection is at the value 'a'
so for negative it becomes like this
again, its just a transformed parabola
ok then, graphing wins
x|x-a|=3
xsqrt((x-a)^2)=3
x^2(x-a)^2=9
x^2(x-a)^2-9=0
(x(x-a)+3)(x(x-a)-3)=0 x>0
x(x-a)+3=0
x^2-ax+3=0
D=a^2-4 * 3=a^2-12
x1=(a+sqrt(a^2-12))/2>0 a>=sqrt(12)
x2=(a-sqrt(a^2-12))/2>0 a>=sqrt(12)
x(x-a)-3=0
x^2-ax-3=0
D=a^2-4 * (-3) =a^2+12
x1=(a+sqrt(a^2+12))/2>0 a(-infinity;+infinity)
x2=(a-sqrt(a^2+12))/2>0 no solution
so it has one solution when a(-infinity;sqrt(12))
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
the 3rd line turned the problem into a quartic equation. squaring might include unnecessary solutions, say $x = -\sqrt{a}$.
vin100
why x > 0?
if x<=0 it has no solution
yes i got that
sorry for bothering
that's much quicker than fatman's way of dividing into x>a and x<a.
how?
when x=0 left side is 0 right is 3, when x<0 left side is negative right is positive
oh so intuitely the absolute value is always positive thats the idea right?
nvmd
thanks tho
how can i reward you?

$(a+sqrt(a^2-12))/2>0
$(a+sqrt(a^2-12))/2>0$
R31_
$\frac{a+\sqrt{a^2-12}}{2}>0$
R31_
what do i do here?
lets simply ok? a+ sqrt (a^2-12)>0
then sqrt (a^2-12)>-a
if you then square both sides,
a^2 -12>a^2
but the a values cancel!!!!
you can't square both sides here
why not 😭
you can only square both sides when the signs are the same
(you have to reverse the sign as well if they're both negative)
since x^2 is increasing when x>0 and decreasing when x<0
so how to solve this?
if a>0 then the inequality always hold when the value inside the square root isn't negative
and if a<0 you can square both sides
the equation has no solutions
i think a is positive
a+sqrt(a^2-12)>0
multiply by sqrt(a^2-12)
a*sqrt(a^2-12)+a^2>12
a(a+sqrt(a^2-12))>12
but in the parens is the original thing multiplied by a

is this taylor series
oh
how do i determine if it converges or diverges
its not geometric right
(for #1)
why have you been given questions on whether sequences converge if you dont know any way to tell if sequences converge?
well i know how im just not sure how itd fit in here
converges if -1 <= r <= 1
diverges if r> 1 or r<=-1

it looks like it gets bigger

as n goes to infinity, 2/3^n will go to 0
do you see why?
yes bc the denominator is getting bigger
yes
numerator stays the same
yes

you can rigorously prove it too, but you're not there yet
so for the others i just have to see where the function goes

ok ik the answer to this one
divide numerator and denominator by n^2
for infinite limits of rational functions it is sufficient to consider the leading terms of the numerator and denominator
thank you

Take the parabola P: y^2 -2x = 0, find the values of k for which L: x + 2y + k = 0
- intersect
Pin two different points - are tangent to
P - don't intersect
Pin any point
how can I approach this?
@hollow hound Has your question been resolved?
there’s a nicer way to do this than what I first thought using just algebra and not calculus
so first write the second equation should be rewritten to isolate y, so -2y = x + k. now square it to get 4y^2 = (x + k)^2
also rewrite first equation as y^2 = 2x
this means that 4y^2 = 4(2x) = 8x
thus 8x = (x + k)^2
this can be rewritten as x^2 + 2kx + k^2 - 8x = 0 or x^2 + 2(k - 4)x + k^2 = 0
the determinant of a quadratic is b^2 - 4ac. if D < 0, there’s 0 solutions. If D = 0, there’s 1 solution. If D > 0, there’s 2 solutions
in this case a = 1, b = 2(k - 4), and c = k^2
therefore D = 4(k - 4)^2 - 4k^2
@hollow hound I will let you solve for k here such that
D < 0 (doesn’t intersect P)
D = 0 (tangent to P)
D > 0 (intersects P at two different points)

I had a Linear Algebra Question. When solving for eigenvalues, does it matter between using det(A - I lamda) or det(I lamda - A)
It does not
The polynomials will be negatives of eschother and thus have the same roots
$\det(I\lambda - A) = \det(-(A-I\lambda)) = (-1)^n\det(A-I\lambda) = 0$ where n is the number of columns
Crescendo PiaNo
this does not change the value of lambda since it is the root of polynomials

quick question
for this, why isnt the bottom correct
(tried both positive and negative btw)
i did arctan of -4/3
with arctan you need to be careful about quadrants
which quadrant is the point (-3,4) in?
2?
yes and what quadrant is theta = 0.927295218 in?
i believe the first?
right
so that can't be the answer
you probably did something like arctan(-4/3) on a calculator
yea
which gives you the same answer for (3,-4) and (-3,4)
btw
even if you did arctan(-4/3) wouldn't the result be minus 0.927295218, not plus?
yea ik like i said i tried + and -
yeah neither one is right actually
but arctan(-4/3) would give you -0.927295218
then you see that's in the 4th quadrant
whereas your point is in the 2nd
so you add pi
oh thats it?
yep
that just says, i don't want the point in that quadrant, i want the corresponding point in the opposite quadrant
i see
like in this case you don't want the angle for (-3,4), you want the one for (3,-4)
and those angles differ by pi
what do u use for one in quad 3?
usually arctan (like a button on a calculator or whatever) is constrained to give an answer in quadrant 1 or 4
(so it assumes positive x)
if you're using software there might be a function like atan2
which allows you to specify both x and y, not just their ratio
and it can then work out the quadrant for you and give the right answer

hello
Yes
What trig ratio would you use to find the height?
Just tell your teacher this problem cannot be answered with the information given, it doesn’t specify the tree is vertical…
do i use cah
Yeah.... No, the assumption is it's vertical
What side is the height?
the right
And that side is what, in relation to the angle?
opposite
So would it be correct to use CAH to find the height, when you just said the side was opposite the angle?
And how do you know the tree isn’t growing like this?
yea
CAH?
No one cares, so stop
So what ratio should you use to find the height?
OH TAN
What is the ratio for tan?
…good teachers appreciate students pointing out flawed problems and showing actual critical thinking, so I stand by my suggestion as valid, relax 🙂
its opposite / adjacent
It's not a flawed problem if the lesson is about right triangles and trig
So stop, no one cares
Can you write the proper equation now?

When the positive ends of two batteries are connected like below. How will it work? Will the charges be collecting the sum of the emfs as they pass through both batteries? (7.6+14)
@fading raft Has your question been resolved?
@fading raft no, higher voltage battery determines how current flow in circuit. lower voltage battery will be a consumer.
So does the lower voltage battery act as a resistor. I.e. taking energy away from the charges?
yeah, 14v battery will charge 7.6v battery.
total emf = 14-7.6
what do u mean by charge
you consider 14v as a charger and 7.6v as battery of phone.

So do you know what x intercept means
no
x-intercept is when the graph crosses x- axis
to find it
you put y = 0
and solve the equation for x
so c
no
put y = 0
and solve the quadratic eqaution
you have the find values of x when y is 0
i jsut got help from a collage student and they said it was c
oh wait
it is c
solve the quadratic equation
lol

In the figure there's a graph showing the function y = c-x^2 for a certain value c > 0.
a) Write the expression for the area of the shaded area, and calculate the exact value when c = 3.
b) Determine c such that the area of the shaded area is 4 area units.
Would this be correct for a) $\int^{}_{} c-x^{2}dx$
AuHasard
your boundaries
What are they?
what do u think
c-x^2 = 0
√c = x
$\int^{\sqrt{c} }_{-\sqrt{c} } c-x^{2}dx$
Like this?
@tall bough
AuHasard
AuHasard
yes
wdym
yes
or you can just tell me if i did this correctly
its dx
alright
$[3-\frac{x^{3}}{3} ]^{\sqrt{3} }_{-\sqrt{3} }=(3-\frac{\sqrt{3}^{3} }{3} )-(3-\frac{(-\sqrt{3}^{3} )}{3} )$
AuHasard
good?
ye u should become 6,9
,w integrate 3-x^2 from -√3 to √3
Nice.
@tall bough Can you help me with b)?
$$\int^{\sqrt{c} }_{-\sqrt{c} } c-x^{2}dx=4$$
its like solving for an unknown variable
This is my guess on how to start…
Or hmm
The upper and lower bounds are the same
AuHasard
yes
$$\int^{\sqrt{c} }{-\sqrt{c} } c-x^{2}dx=[\frac{c^{2}}{2} -\frac{x^{3}}{3} ]^{{}^{\sqrt{c} }}{-\sqrt{c} }=4$$
AuHasard
Good start?
$$[\frac{c^{2}}{2} -\frac{x^{3}}{3} ]^{{}^{\sqrt{c} }}_{-\sqrt{c} }=(\frac{\sqrt{c}^{2} }{2} -\frac{\sqrt{c}^{3} }{3} )-(\frac{(-\sqrt{c}^{2} )}{2} -\frac{(-\sqrt{c}^{3} }{3} )=4$$
AuHasard
btw the integral is 3x-(x^3)/3
oh true
$$\int^{\sqrt{c} }{-\sqrt{c} } c-x^{2}dx=[cx-\frac{x^{3}}{3} ]^{\sqrt{c} }{-\sqrt{c} }$$
$$=(c(\sqrt{c} ){-\frac{(\sqrt{c} )^{3}}{3} )-(c(-\sqrt{c} )-\frac{(-\sqrt{c}^{3} )}{3} )} =4$$
AuHasard
@tall bough
is this good?
,w simplify [(c(\sqrt{c} ){-\frac{(\sqrt{c} )^{3}}{3})]-(c(-\sqrt{c} )-\frac{(-\sqrt{c}^{3} )}{3} )}
,w integral of c-(x^2) from -sqrt(c) to sqrt(c)
oops
so third root of 12?
mann
that qual to 4
Result:
4
,w (4c^(3/2))/3=4 solve for c
man I give up on this question lol
why
I don't want to occupy more of your time and it seems like we are not getting anywhere
thats the aanswer
since its symmetrical u could just do integral of the function from 0 to sqrt(c) then multiply by two
parentheses are missplaced
,w simplify [(c(\sqrt{c} ){-\frac{(\sqrt{c} )^{3}}{3})]-(c(-\sqrt{c} )-\frac{(-\sqrt{c}^{3} )}{3} )}
come the fuck on
u can just do the definite integral lol
yes

$sqrt3 sinx - cosx = sqrt3$
EndTimes
I don't think this is a simple equation
We might have to bust out the exponential defns
i took cos x to the other side, squared both sides and got: 3 sin^2 (x) - 3 - 2sqrt3 cos(x) - cos^2 (x) = 0
divide by two
sqrt(3)sin(x)/2-cos(x)/2=sqrt(3)/2
sqrt(3)/2 * sin(x) - cos(x) * 1/2 = sqrt(3)/2
sin(pi/3) * sin(x) - cos(x) * cos(pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2
-(cos(x) * cos(pi/3) - sin(pi/3) * sin(x)) = sqrt(3)/2
-cos(pi/3 + x) = sqrt(3)/2
oh its some sort of reverse trig and reverse addition rule

rewrite your eqn in hyperbola standard format
i did
using completing the square, i got
(x+2)^2/ 36 - (y-2)^2/16 =1
did i graph wrong?
,w expand (x+2)^2/ 36 - (y-2)^2/16 - 1 = 0
is this the same thing?
,w expand 16 * 36 *((x+2)^2/ 36 - (y-2)^2/16 - 1) = 0
so it looks like i got it right
for the center = (-2,2)
Asymptote = 4/6 = 2/3

Hi. So we were asked to determine the m of the angles using the following trig ratios, and show our solutions. The only method that I know, and I believe it is by far the only method that we've been taught, is to put it in an inverse trig function and let the calculator do the work. If this is the case, then, how do u think can I "show my solution?"
Don't forget periodicity. The calculator only gives one answer
I'm not sure what periodicity is, sorry. Could you give an example, say sin ∅ = 1/2.
theta could be π/3, or 2π/3. Or one of these offset by any multiple of 2π because sin is 2π periodic: the values offset by 2π are the same

let P(S) be the powerset of some set S where |S| = n, so that |P(S)| = 2^n.
What is the probability that the symmetric difference of three randomly chosen elements in P(S) is the empty set? Repetition (choosing the same element multiple times) IS ALLOWED!!!
My thought is: if it is asking whether the symmetric difference of three elements will INCLUDE the empty set, it would be 100% since all sets include the empty set. But if the question is asking if the symmetric difference is ONLY the empty set, I would think it only be when all the elements selected include elements that others contain as well. Anyone have a guess as to which is being asked for?
Definitely the second interpretation
Okay, do you have any suggestions on how to get started on finding the prob? What I have noticed so far is every element of the 3 sets selected must be present in one of the other sets selected, but I am not sure how to show that mathematically. Additionally, each set selected has a (#ofElements)^2 of possible sets it can be paired with, so I think I could figure it out for 2 sets but not sure about 3
Edit: actually each selected set has 2^(#OfElements) possible sets it can be paired with

6(3) - (4-(3)^2)
Yes,
im confused on why it would be
6(3) - 4 - 3²
i keep getting
6(3) - 4 + 3^2
Like what happened to the negative sign?
ye
You typed it, I'm questioning it
That’s correct
How?
maybe i typed it wrong
hold up
(g - f) = 6x - (4 - 2x²)
= 6x - 4 - 2x²
If f(x) = 4 – x2 and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g – f)(3)?
Negative sign ourside the () and in front lf the 3 cancel out right?
f(x) = 4 – x^2?
Because so, then this is wrong
Because you have that extra 2 for some reason
That's the mistake
Can you just post a screenshot of the question?
6(3) - (4 - 3^2)
And you have the solution too?
ye
