I think I do tho
Bc, i dont understand in the first place how do I know if it makes a concave
or a convex
Bc I usually get = 0
and it always turns out to be somehow concave / convex or a stationary point
you just dont know the theorems that are used
perhaps ig idk

hello i'm new
Try doing log of that num
log (6/35)⁴⁰?
Yeah
ohhh thanks
It's like driving a number by 10
yeah

Can you guys help me with grade 8 math I'm writing a test tomorrow
what topic?
this channel is for specific questions
start doing exercises for the test and if youre stuck on something ask a question
and if you dont understand some concepts you can ask on #prealg-and-algebra or other channel with specific topic
grade 8 math is very broad, could u be a little more specific

i am supposed to find a formula for the n summs and then prove its correct with induction.
is s_n=2^n-1 a correct formula for n sum?
because when i try to prove it with induction i get that it is not correct.
Try the summation with more small values of n and see what kind of pattern you get, you're fairly close

i tried finding the parallelogram but all answer ive got is 0
x+10+5x-4=180 right?
6x+6=180
subtract both sides by 6 so 6x=174
and then 174/6 am i correct?
x=29?
oh it is 29
oh i solved it
then moving on to 2
Rhombis
Rhombus
<A°+<B°=180°
so <180-<68=<B
<B=112
but im finding x and y
A rhombus has 4 sides equal, so AD=AB
You can then proceed using the fact that ABD is isosceles
ic then is <DBC= half of 112?= 56?
and DAB is also 56
Should be

what formula am I using to solve these?
do I just plug in approximate values and do dot product on them?
a.b=|a||b|cos(theta), and with unit vectors those lengths are 1
like the calculation definition of dot product is a1b1+a2b2 but the geometric definition is the one with cosine
i mean, i could memorize this, but maybe it would help to really understand it too?
using visualization perhaps, to understand why we are using this formula to begin with
it's a lot to ask, I know..
making a graph like this with motion is not easy, but it helps to visualize
Guys
can someone help me with this question
i am missing a key step which is resulting in an incoorect answer
here's how it looks with unit vectors, the dot product is the shadow of one vector onto another
and cos() just comes from doing trig to get the shadow
hmmmm...
so like if the vectors vaguely point in the same direction, you get a positive shadow
but you don't always use cos right, for all of these angles on the question
of A stuck up perpendicular to B its shadow would be a point, 0
and if the vectors are vaguely going in opposite directions it's negative, shadow in other direction of B
shadows/dot product is always cosine
i thought it depends if angle is greater than 180, or something along those lines
i dunno, maybe these both do the same thing
cos uses dot product
sin uses cross product?
the big difference is that cross product is a new vector
dot product is a scalar
so i guess they are both good to know, depending on the question
but anyways, these would require entries, which we don't have
that's why I was thinking I could "guess" the entries, to get an approximation and good idea
wait but doesn't the geometric formula also require entries for a and b?
we don't have them based on the graph
when you have cos^-1 and sin^1 there's sometimes issues with the range of the angles yea, but we're going in the safe other direction
by entries you mean x and y coordinates? with the geometric definition you just look at the angles between the vectors and plug into cos()
to save yourself from guessing, theta<90 is positive, theta>90 is negative

solving this with characteristic equation makes no sense for me:
Solution is but im not sure how i would get that by using the constant coefficient method
I'm sure you've found the characteristic equation is -x² = 0
So it's a double root at x = 0
First solution is a constant, C2 in your case
Second solution can't also be a constant, because that's already taken. When this happens, you multiply the solution by t.
So the second solution is the C1t
Ohh yeah, true for n repeated roots its C1e^at + tC2e^at + ... + t^(n-1)Cne^at right, where a is our root (repeated)
mixed it up for two distinct real roots, wasnt sure if +-0 counts as two roots or repeated root
And hopefully this makes sense. We're looking for the space of functions, that when differentiated twice, give 0. Even without doing math, this is clearly just any line
yup, i just was a bit fuzzy on the rules since ive only had 2-3 questions on them 
thanks!

For letter a, i just plugged in values
Letting X be the brain weights of swedish men, since X follows a normal distribution
X bar also follows a normal distribution, so X bar ~ (mu, variance/n)
So for letter a, X bar (n = 3) ~ (pop. mean = 1.40 kg, variance/n = 4.033x10^-3)
and X bar (n = 12) ~ (1.40, 1.0083 x 10^-3)
I dont know for letter b
I think it says find the probability that the population standard deviation is <= 0.1
I used chi squared distribution but the values are off from the distribution table
Im stuck
could it be |x̄ - μ| < 0.1...?
it says the sample mean is within 0.1 kg of the population mean
so the difference between the sample mean and population mean is at most 0.1
Is it okay to just round it off?
The result would be P[-0.1/(0.11/sqrt of 3) < Z < -0.1/(0.11/sqrt of 3)]
So P ( -1.57459 < Z < 1.57459)
Can i just find the p values for -1.57 and 1.57?
yeah

Is this function continious or not? The ‘als’ means ‘if’.. I tried to work with limits but I just cant figure it out
1?
Nice. What's the limit from the right?
0
Bingo. Limit doesn't exist, function isn't continuous
Ah, I see. thanks!
But then how do I know if there is a minimum value in this function? I can't use the method that requires that the function is continious, the domain closed and 'bound/restricted' (I don't know the right term, sorry)? What else am I supposed to use to figure it out?
Are you looking to find the minimum?
Yeah that is the end goal

Two candidates were standing in an election. Of the total number of people in the electoral roll in that election, 10% did not use their votes and 60 votes were declared invalid. The winning candidate secured 47% of the total votes of the voter list and he won the election by 308 votes. How many votes were cast in that election and how many votes did the losing candidate got?
as 10% did not use their votes and 90% did that mean loser got 90 - 47 = 43 % votes
47 - 43 = 4% that mean (4% = 308 - 60)
4%=248
1%=62
100%= 6200
total votes are 6200
is this correct ?
first sentence already seems incorrect
loser got 90% -60 - 47% votes
^^
lmao
(total_voters, votes_cast, losing_candidate_votes)=(6200, 5520., 2606)
how did you calculate losing candidate votes 
I am getting answer in decimals 
Through code programming. have you written down the formula? Can you take a look at it?
even Gemini advance could not solve it
This is what I wrote, the total number of people on the electoral roll as T.
I still don't understand how do you get losing candidate votes 
losing_candidate_votes = 0.47 * total_voters - 308.

just not sure how to do it
i tried 214x=95(35/60 -x) but still nothing
So total_time = d/214 + d/95
Because speed = distance/time
multiplying both sides by time we get
speed*time = distance
Divide both sides by speed
time = distance/speed
correct
Then that is the answer assuming you made no algebraic mistakes
then do i divide that by 95 cause i am trynna find the time from the pond to the fire?
Yep, distance/speed = time
i got like 0.40 something, i think thats in hours so i times that by 60 and i should get the final answer

pls give tips on how to solve assertion and reason questions
if you have a specific question, ask here
uhh... there are many ways depends on the type of question
if it's a question which need solving then yeah u need to solve
and if it's theoritical then u should know the concept
otherwise, go to #prealg-and-algebra or #geometry-and-trigonometry or the topic of your choosing
yea .btw
also, A and R questions aren't very common in maths im not sure what you mean
depending on the exam authority, they are these day IMO
i know the concept and ace the calculation but fail in assertion and reason i simply dont know why
nahi he's indian so probably CBSE

This is a quick but also very dumb question I feel
If $A \subseteq B$
Curry
does this also mean the converse is true
no
oh right?
ah right
lol
so what about a proper subset?
the above example is a proper subset also
ah okay
I just got confused since I learned this today and thought aren't they the same thing
well $A\subseteq A$ is true but $A\subset A$ isn't
Soosh
yeah since they share the same elements
it's just similar with $\geq$ with numbers though with $\subset$ you have to be careful because it is used differently by different authors, some might use it for proper subset and some might use as the first one i believe
Soosh
ah I will defintely take note of that when looking at some set theory books

Converges or diverges?
it's an $\infty - \infty$ form
Bungo
hmm if they aren’t allowed knowledge that the sum of reciprocal primes diverges…
i'm not sure it even makes sense to ask if this converges or diverges, it's not a sequence
but rather the difference of two limits
which exists if and only if those limits exist
i don't know how you avoid determining whether they exist

Hello, I'm definitely being dumb - but if I have a bearing of wind coming from one direction, and a building with a bearing to a road. How do I determine if the building is between the road and the incoming wind, or the other side of the road. Bearings are in 360 degree compass directions, so 0 degrees the wind is coming from the north, 180 degrees etc.
For instance here - the building is the other side of the road to the incoming wind, so would be classified as leeward.
whereas this example its on the same side as the incoming wind, so windward.
@limpid gate Has your question been resolved?
@limpid gate Has your question been resolved?
@limpid gate Has your question been resolved?
@limpid gatewhat would a bearing of a building to a road mean
I mean I've made this complex, but essentially the angle from a point to the green line.
ok so there's a point
The essential problem is one point on a certain angle away from the line, in the same 180 arc as another point.
i.e. in the picture above, how do I algorithmically show that a point at 330 degrees is on the same side as a point at 30 degrees
and the green line may change orientation
i would make sure both angles are in −180 to 180 range
then the sign should determine where that is
my issue has been the compass bearing is 0 - 360 so a point at 30 degrees compass bearing and 330 degrees compass bearing are both on the same side of the green line.
so would I be working it out as:
((green_line_angle - point_bearing) + ((green_line_angle + 180)-point_bearing))
that shouldn,t happen: 30 = −330 not 30= 330
sorry, I'm confused.
do you mean the absolute values of those?
then if abs(((green_line_angle - point_bearing) + ((green_line_angle + 180)-point_bearing))) > 180 then it's on one side of the line, and < 180 its on the other.
@limpid gate
find wind − road and building − road
for example you get 30 and 330
now 330 is more than 180, we subtract 360
so we get −30, different signs means different sides
you said it's not like that, that they are on the same side actually
i don't get it
yeah the green line is oriented at 90 degrees right.
So I think my math above makes sense.
ok ok that's cuz you mean before subtracting road
yeah if you subtract 90, you get 240 and −60, which is −120 and −60, same side
in this example it's abs(((90-30) + ((90 +180) - 30))) = 300 which is greater than 180 so it's on one side, and if we repeat for abs(((90-330) + ((90 +180) - 330))) = 300
so they're on the same side
but if I put a point on the other side of the line abs(((90-170) + ((90 +180) - 170))) = 20 so it's on the other side of the line

is there a really easy short anf fast way to do this question
explain why it is (1 - dy/dx) and not (-1 multiply dy/dx)
oh sorry i got the channel first
explain why it is (1 - dy/dx) and not (-1 multiply dy/dx)
rewrite the left hand side as e^(x)e^(-y)
and then differentiate with respect to x
remember to use the product and chain rules
and then simplify
why would i do that
because you are confused about how it was differentiated
that makes it easier
It isn't necessary, but if you're getting confused it might help to break it up like that
ok thank you

the equation just uses the normal vector to the area instead of the area itself
I remember it from the most flux happening when the field goes straight through the area
it's 30° because it's from the surface to the electric field line?
instead of from the normal line to the electric field line
30° to the surface but 60° to the surface vector

$\lim_{x \to -5^+} \frac{x^2-3x}{x^2+4x-5} = \frac{25 + 15}{25 - 20 -5} = \frac{40}{0^+} \to \infty$
alee
i dont get why the solution is $-\infty$
alee
@patent light Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
doesn't the solution say positive infinity in the first image?
alee
yeah it should be 0- down there
why
when x is approaching -5 from the right
isnt like $25,001 - 20,001 - 5$ ?
alee
more like 24.99-19.99-5
since its coming from the right
it's like (-4.999)²
a good way to find this instead of plugging is to check the sign of the polynomial
you find that it's negative between -5 and 1
and since -5+ is bigger than -5 then the polynomial would be approaching 0-
hold on gimme a sec
ok
i cant see very well the photo
it's okay it's not that important
if you look at the graph of the polynomial
you'll find that when approaching -5 from the right, the polynomial is negative

A small ball is suspended over an infinite horizontal conducting plate, by a string of stiffness k, as soon as the ball is charged, it decends by a distance of x cm, and the seperation becomes l , find the charge of the ball
how do I even find the charge induced on the plate here?
The flux is one 12th of the total flux
that's q/12\epsillon
but I doubt that will help
hmm
I draw a guassian surface enclosing the sheet
hmm
I'm getting teh charge induced is q/12
does that sound right?
The method of image charges (also known as the method of images and method of mirror charges) is a basic problem-solving tool in electrostatics. The name originates from the replacement of certain elements in the original layout with imaginary charges, which replicates the boundary conditions of the problem (see Dirichlet boundary conditions or ...
This might help
hmm, did try that, but that gives a wrong answer
Can you show what you did?
yeah
will do
so the charge induced is
q
thus the force between the plate and charge is kq^2/l^2
oh
right
2l
By method of image charges, 2l
actually, now that I think about it, why isn't it q/6
one sixth of the total flux passes via this plate
you can start by putting electric Force = spring Force[cos it'll always counter balance]
so, F(el) = F(spr)
=> q^2/4 pi epsilon (2l)^2 = Kx
thrfor, q = 4l sqrt(pi epsilon K x)
2l is because of the method of image charges?
yep
How 1/6th
The solid angle subtended by the infinite plate is 2pi, while 4pi is the total solid angle around a point
Sure but they’re infinite
You are neglecting flux contributions to the region outside the cube (which exists as the plates are infinitely large)
hmm
thanks
got it
is there any way to do this without this method?
from first principals
The condition that must be satisfied is that the electric field outside of the conductor is perpendicular to it
Well, the hint was method of image. The problem is, figuring out a charge distribution function is kind of tricky, the best method I know is guessing
It’s not that hard to realize two opposing charges create a perpendicular field at their perpendicular bisector line

I need help with 23 to figure out how I'm doing it wrong. 27 because I can't find it on the mixed answers chart and I erased the work and tried to redo it but got to the same steps. Then 21 to help with figuring out the other half of the answer.
okay with 27 – i'm assuming you squared both sides
that's the correct first step
then you solve the resulting equation which is just 2x - 10 = 5x - 15
and you get x = 5/3
but you have to check for extraneous solutions! when you plug 5/3 back into the equation, it doesn't work
so i'm rpetty sure the answer is no solutions (in set notation that would simply be the empty set or { } )
- 81 = 3 * 27, not 3 *4.
- there is a mistake in the third step – you split sqrt(18) into sqrt(9) and sqrt(2) in the previous step but lost the sqrt(9)
so it should end up being 2sqrt(6) - 5sqrt(2) - 12sqrt(2) + 20 sqrt(6)
i hope this has been helpful!
@hidden spear Has your question been resolved?
Do you have the answerrs with you?
honestly 26 looks right to me
26 I put as extraneous.
you can graph it on desmos if you want to check
I have to use my calculator.
Only.
I think I put it in wrong in the calculator.
So. After plugging 5/3 in it didn't show extraneous.
I do have it as that also can you write it out possibly because Idk if I'm visualizing right what you typed please?
I tried changing 23 up as well but I think I messed up.

so
start by finding out their common multiples or whatever
in this case it would be 2
then i would simplify each one individually before combining
for 5 (4throot) 32 i would split it into

I prefer if it's written out then typed tbh.

{2,3x,4x^2+1} is this vector is orthogonal?
do you mean is the set of vectors orthogonal?
yeah
With respect to what inner product?
backing up a step from there... do you know what this means?
Then what is confusing you?
is that orthogonal?
You tell me
idk
You just said you knew what it meant for them to be orthogonal?
orthogonal is mean to be perpendicular right?
In some contexts you can think of it like that but that isn’t what it means here
Not precisely

Hello! I am struggling here with this equation:
The answer is $943.05 but for the life of me cannot get this answer, I've tried so many ways:
- I've put the whole equation into a TI-84 and it couldn't solve it
- Multiplied the numerator all together, then the denominator whole. It ended up being .093333333 divided by 0
- Then I .112/12 and then mulitpled by 990000. Next did the bottom parentheses. The result was 11088/it gave me a syntax in my calculator
show what you're entering into the calc
oh,and you can't cancel those 12 like that
you may want to use something more sophisticated than a ti 84
unless you have mathprint working alright on it
i mean, something that has better formatting so you can be sure that all the parentheses are where they should be
What's mathprint?
mathprint is TI's formatting thing on their calculator
so that like, fractions show up as fractions
exponents go up to the corner
all that stuff
you might have it on and not know its called that just worth asking
but, for example, symbolabs calculator is nice for problems like this
yoo that is nice
calculator is worth figuring out if youre going run into issues like this on an exam
but handheld calculators are a bit of a relic at this point
yeah agreed
theres that button on the ti 84
up near the 2nd button
lemme see here
you know it also defpends on what version you have
It sucks cause I can’t get the whole equation on the calculator
mathprint is on 
Turn it off?
Damn I can do that to a ti 84?
yea if you can hook it to a pc
but, you know
being careful about parens is just part of the game, too
try uhh
try hitting alpha and then hitting the y= key above the second key
can you enter in a FRAC
hit the green button then the y= button
yea
hit 1
it will crreate a fraction
if you enter parens it should scale them too i think
So I’m putting this frac when I’m about to divide the numerator by the denominator?
i mean if you see what you should be seeing
this actually puts the numerator visually above the denominator
things arent grouped by parens anymore
this prevents you from making a stupid order of operations mistake and messing up your fraction
thats what I'm trying to do
i guess im not sure what else to tell you
you can either use the nicer formatting on your calc
or use desmos or something
hm okay so based on this: you can't tell what I'm doing wrong?
youre certainly missign parens
you havent wrapped your denom
but, you also arent using mathprint
so this error is common

hey fellers, im confused of my teachers answer to this question
what’s the part cut out at the top of the picture
why is there a 14? and why are there two (-6)^k?
a different question
all the writing in blue is the solution to this question
there’s a 14 becuase 8+6 = 14
but where'd he get the 8 from?
the question
okay but isnt it being used at the front of 8(8^k-(-6)^k)?
how did it also get added with 6
the algebra is a little tricky there
take this and multiply it out
to see that it’s the same as the previous line
the important thing is 14(-6)^k - 8(-6)^k = 6(-6)^k
@swift slate Has your question been resolved?
im still confused D:
why not keep it as -(-6)^k?
<@&286206848099549185> hi sorry can you please help?
why is there a +14?
i understand u need 8^k-(-6)^k for substitution but like. whered the 14 come from
Yep, as per...
...here
you have +6 but you ideally want a -8, so that you can factor and find your 8(8^k - (-6)^k)

Naba and Iji along with 10 other volleyball players with the same abilities will take part in the selection to form a volleyball team to take part in a championship. If one team is allowed to include 4 reserve players, many teams can be created if Naba and Iji are always included in the volleyball team formed.
This means that in total there were 12 people who wanted it, then 10 were taken. (12C10)
become one team (Team=players[6]+reserves[4]).
But Naba and Iji (these two people) must play, does that mean the formula is become 10C8? 45 ways?
is it correct?
Naba and Iji must play.. so those 2 are sorted.. but your other players can either be the actual players or reserves, so you have to check individually for that
as in 4 players into the player squad multiplied by 4 into the reserve squad
hmm
but we don't know whether naba and iji will play as players or reserves? What is certain is that they have to play as a team
If you break it down into players and reserves, it means we have to create possibilities
both in players, 0 in reserves
naba player, iji reserve
iji player, reserve naba,
0 players, both reserves

here the prof was calculating the moment of inertia of a sphere
which led to this result $I_{cm}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ $\int dmr^2$
Hamdy Hisham
why can't I just say by definition that $I_{cm}$ =$\int dmr^2$

That’s not the result.
The result is 2/3 MR^2
Where M and R are the mass and radius of the whole sphere respectively
You can
The problem is that r depends on what part of the mass you’re talking about
why is this solution wrong
The 2/3 MR^2 formula is for a hollow sphere, it is 2/5 MR^2 for a solid sphere
You can’t write dm like that
Well you can but then you have to take the moment of inertia of that piece into account
You can write $$dI=\frac{2}{3} dm r^2=\frac{2}{3}\cdot 3\frac{M}{R^3} r^4 dr$$ and then integrate dI from r=0 to r=R
kheerii
The first step comes from the result about the hollow sphere
The problem with this is that you’re considering your element to be a point mass
dI = dm* r^2 is only valid for a point mass, otherwise you have to do it like I said above
ok so this chunk of the sphere (sphere of radius (r+dr)-sphere of radius(r)) is not considered a point mass
why?
@coarse tusk
Because it’s not a point..
It has its own unique moment of inertia which probably will not equal to dm r^2
but when you calculate the moment of inertia of a disk
you also take a chunk of the circle
Ah that’s because of a different reason
It just happens to be that the moment of inertia of a ring is dm r^2
If it were something else then yeah the result would be different
It infact doesn’t “happen to be” that that’s true
There’s a sound reason why
Do you wanna hear itv
V
so in the sphere why is $dI=\frac{2}{3} dm r^2$
Hamdy Hisham
sure
Because the element you’re considering is a hollow sphere, which has that moment of inertia
Basically you can rotate any point about the axis and also move it up and down along the axis without changing the moment of inertia
Since it doesn’t change the distance
So just rotate all points of the disk such that they lie on one point
You can also prove other results, like how the moment of inertia of a cylinder is the same as that of a disk
ok why is that
What do you mean why?
That’s the element you chose to use
You can prove the result with a different choice of element as well
I mean why is the moment of inertia of a hollow sphere this formula
what is the proof
The video you sent is a proof of precisely this
I don't understand it actually

ive gotten it down to x^4+6x^2+9x=f(x)
now sub $x^2=y$
Why am. I here
substitute x^2 - 3x for f(x) on the RHS
this doesn't quite help because of the single x
thats what i had but i just dont know what to do with that
its an equation for x
start by dividing everything by x
(and in doing so noting that x = 0 is one solution)
from there you'll have a cubic
yeah x^3+6x+12=x
the exponents here are incorrect
yes
i dont see how i could find possible values of x besides guess and check unless maybe i could substitute x back into f(x)=x^2-3x?
you should guess and check
that'll give you one root
then just divide
x^3 - 6x^2 + 5x + 12
by
(x - that root)
and you'll get a quadratic you can solve
yes
$\frac{x^3-6x^2+6x+12}{x+1}$?
gof
why +6x
from here?
