hey quick question about a power series
$\sum^{\infty}_{n=1} \frac{(2n-1)^n(x-1)^n}{2^{n-1}n^n}$
Mephisto
I have to find the convergence radius and interval
I tried doing the root test, but it doesn't seem to work
Ratio
doing the root test gave me $\sqrt[n]{2}\frac{(2n-1)(x-1)}{2n}$
Mephisto
That simplifies a lot just break up the first term
and taking the limit of n going to infinity, just gives 0?
for n going to infinity
we can devide 2n by 2n
because the -1 is neglegable I think
which would give $\sqrt[n]{2}(x-1)}$

oh as in distribute?
Also this limit is not 0
ohhh
so the limit has to be smaller then one
meaning we can take both side to the n'th power
which gives the inequality
2*(x-1)^n < 1^n
what?
0.81
hold on
0.729 yeah
it converges for everything smaller then one
yup
I know, but how do I solve for this x?
so in this if you have 2^(1/n)
in the limit as that goes to inf
can it be 0?
omg I just realised
I feel so dumb
I completely forgot about how roots are just fractions...
yeah it should converge to 1
which means your radius is?
yeah
and the interval of convergence then?
ah alright
meaning
x + 1 < 1
so one bound is 0
or atleast x < 0
and the second one should be x < 2 right?
I feel like I've got smtg wrong here
yeah it's been a while since I've used absolute values...
|x -1 | < 1
meaning for x < 0
we get -x + 1 < 1
- x < 2 meaning x > -2
for x > 0
... yeah I'm lost here...
I though |x -1 | < 1
was -x + 1 < 1 for x smaller then 0
and x-1 < 1 for x larger then 0
but this gives me x > 0 and x < 2
while it should be x < 0 and x > -2
nvm I typed the question wrong... it should've been x+1 < 1 ....

i tried solving it with a(1-r^n)/(1-r) but i kept getting a different number then what was in the solution
also i made a typo by saying a sub n instead of s sub n
oops in the bottom line i said 9/5 instead of 9/4, the actual answer should be -324, but thats just the negative of what the series at n=0 specifically so its still wrong

- A US company wants to pay its import bill to its supplier in New Zealand and requires NZ$ 15,575000 in 90 days. Assume it can buy NZ$ at the spot rate for NZ$1 = $0.72. However, the US company enters a currency forward contract with HSBC and accordingly the US company will purchase requires NZ$ 15,575000 in 90 days at the exchange rate NZ$1 = $0.81. Imagine that on the day of maturity of the currency forward contract the spot rate is NZ$1 = $0.88, calculate total gain/loss of the US company.
idk my brain is lagging on this one can some one help me

show work
Forward contract:
NZ$15,575,000 * $0.81 = $12,614,250
the day of maturity:
Cost = NZ$15,575,000 * $0.88 = $13,682,000
= $12,614,250 - $13,682,000
= -$1,067,750

iam not sure is this correct xD i asked coopilot for help if its correct it gave me an different answer
and i asked chat gpt too and that too gave different asnwer
ok, so the company couldve bought at .72, but instead they buy at .81
on the day they buy at .81, the price is .88
am i reading this right?

How do I do 6iii?
I am currently disecting it
And I got
Couple (5C1)(2)
Others (4C1)(3)
But I am thinking how to in-coperate the couple into the general group
Since if thinking as a pure math question, i.e. only 2 individuals and 3 individuals wo the hotel part that should be 2!(4!)
@prime storm Has your question been resolved?
The others part should just be 4 * 4 * 4 = 4^3
There's no requirement that each of the 3 other people has to stay in a different hotel
So just 5 (for the couple) * 4^3
it's not 5 * 2

hii, can someone please help me solve this integral? I know what the answer should be but i think i'm on the wrong track doing the working out
you can't do this using integration by parts, because you can't integrate (x^2+1)^-1
im confused because the question says to do it with integration by parts
it is arctan x
with your v' = (x^2+1)^-1, you need to integrate v' but you differentiated v' instead
but before i tried it with partial fractions and i managed to get the -3 atan (x) part
if u integrate 1/(xx+1) with trig sub u get arctan
u can do simple integration using this ^
okay thanks guys ill give it another go

How to prove by induction that 7n^41 + 6n^31 + 34n^3 + 8n is divisible by 5 for all n in N
Tried proving it for n+1, but got to the fact that 7(n+1)^41 + 6(n+1)^31 + 34(n+1)^3 + 8(n+1) = 7n^41 + 6n^31 + 34n^3 + 8n + (. . .), with the first terms being a multiple of 5 by inductive hypothesis, but then got stuck
@waxen vine Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
<@&286206848099549185>
can you help me
to solve this
ok
To show that ( 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n ) is divisible by 5 for all positive integers ( n ), we can use mathematical induction.
Base Case:
First, we check the base case ( n = 1 ).
[
7(1)^{41} + 6(1)^{31} + 34(1)^3 + 8(1) = 7 + 6 + 34 + 8 = 55
]
Since ( 55 ) is divisible by 5, the base case holds.
Inductive Step:
Assume that the statement is true for some integer ( n ), i.e.,
[
7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n \equiv 0 \pmod{5}
]
We need to show that it also holds for ( n + 1 ). Consider the expression for ( n + 1 ):
[
7(n+1)^{41} + 6(n+1)^{31} + 34(n+1)^3 + 8(n+1)
]
Using the binomial theorem, expand each term:
- ( (n+1)^{41} = n^{41} + 41n^{40} + \cdots + 41n + 1 )
- ( (n+1)^{31} = n^{31} + 31n^{30} + \cdots + 31n + 1 )
- ( (n+1)^3 = n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 1 )
Substitute these expansions into the expression:
[
7(n+1)^{41} = 7 \left( n^{41} + 41n^{40} + \cdots + 41n + 1 \right)
]
[
6(n+1)^{31} = 6 \left( n^{31} + 31n^{30} + \cdots + 31n + 1 \right)
]
[
34(n+1)^3 = 34 \left( n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 1 \right)
]
[
8(n+1) = 8n + 8
]
Combining these, we get:
[
7(n+1)^{41} + 6(n+1)^{31} + 34(n+1)^3 + 8(n+1) = 7 \left( n^{41} + 41n^{40} + \cdots + 41n + 1 \right) + 6 \left( n^{31} + 31n^{30} + \cdots + 31n + 1 \right) + 34 \left( n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 1 \right) + 8n + 8
]
Separate the terms involving ( n ) from those involving constants:
[
= 7n^{41} + 7 \cdot 41n^{40} + \cdots + 7 \cdot 41n + 7 + 6n^{31} + 6 \cdot 31n^{30} + \cdots + 6 \cdot 31n + 6 + 34n^3 + 34 \cdot 3n^2 + 34 \cdot 3n + 34 + 8n + 8
]
Group and simplify the terms:
[
= \left( 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n \right) + \left( 7 \cdot 41n^{40} + \cdots + 7 \cdot 41n + 6 \cdot 31n^{30} + \cdots + 6 \cdot 31n + 34 \cdot 3n^2 + 34 \cdot 3n \right) + \left( 7 + 6 + 34 + 8 \right)
]
We know from the inductive hypothesis that ( 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n ) is divisible by 5. So we focus on the remaining terms.

yes
i had actually sort of got to this point
but idk how to prove that 5 | the other terms
To prove (7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n) is divisible by 5 for all (n \in \mathbb{N}):
- Base Case: For (n = 1), the expression equals 55 which is divisible by 5
- Inductive Step: Assume true for (n = k), then prove for (n = k+1).
- Show that (7(k+1)^{41} + 6(k+1)^{31} + 34(k+1)^3 + 8(k+1)) is divisible by 5.
By expanding and factoring, each term is divisible by 5, so the expression is divisible by 5 for all (n \in \mathbb{N})
ika
I did something similar like that in the past. I hope this helps
mh i need to find a way to factor the remaining terms
Ok.. I'll work on that
Each term has a common factor of k, so the expression is divisible by k.
To prove by induction that ( 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n ) is divisible by 5 for all ( n ) in the set of natural numbers, you typically follow these steps:
- Base case: Show that the statement holds true for the initial value of ( n ).
- Inductive hypothesis: Assume that the statement is true for some arbitrary positive integer ( k ).
- Inductive step: Prove that if the statement holds for ( k ), it also holds for ( k+1 ).
Let's proceed:
Base case:
For ( n = 1 ):
[ 7(1)^{41} + 6(1)^{31} + 34(1)^3 + 8(1) = 7 + 6 + 34 + 8 = 55 ]
which is divisible by 5.
Inductive hypothesis:
Assume that ( 7k^{41} + 6k^{31} + 34k^3 + 8k ) is divisible by 5 for some positive integer ( k ).
Inductive step:
Now, let's consider ( n = k + 1 ):
[ 7(k + 1)^{41} + 6(k + 1)^{31} + 34(k + 1)^3 + 8(k + 1) ]
[ = 7(k^{41} + 41k^{40} + ...) + 6(k^{31} + 31k^{30} + ...) + 34(k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1) + 8k + 8 ]
Now, we need to show that this expression is divisible by 5.
The first two terms are multiples of ( k^{41} ) and ( k^{31} ), respectively, which we assume are divisible by 5 by the inductive hypothesis.
The third term is ( 34(k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1) ), which simplifies to ( 34k^3 + 102k^2 + 102k + 34 ). Notice that ( 34k^3 + 102k^2 + 102k ) is clearly divisible by 5 (since every term has a factor of 5), and adding 34 doesn't change that.
Finally, ( 8k + 8 ) is clearly divisible by 5.
Therefore, the expression ( 7(k + 1)^{41} + 6(k + 1)^{31} + 34(k + 1)^3 + 8(k + 1) ) is divisible by 5.
By mathematical induction, we conclude that ( 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n ) is divisible by 5 for all ( n ) in the set. So it factored is:
[ 7n^{41} + 6n^{31} + 34n^3 + 8n ]
[ = n(7n^{40}) + n(6n^{30}) + 34n(n^2) + 8n ]
[ = n(7n^{40} + 6n^{30} + 34n^2 + 8) ]
So, the expression is divisible by 5 because it can be expressed as ( n ) multiplied by an integer value.
I think this will help
ika
how is 8k + 8 divisible by 5? take k=1, then 8k + 8 = 16
Wha.
you said "(8k + 8) is clearly divisible by 5". that is generally not true
Wait I'm so sorry I think my brain is dying
Listen I'm so sorry. I think I'll just have to go to sleep and think about this in the morning.
Okok no problem
Any tips on sleeping tough? /J
for n+1, you know the first and last terms of the expansion are divisible by 5 (the first terms 7n^41 + 6n^31 + 34n3 + 8n by the induction hypothesis; the last terms are just 7 + 6 + 34 + 8 = 55)
so you're left with $7(41n^{40} + \cdots + 41n) + 6(31n^{30} + \cdots + 31n) + 34(3n^2 + 3n)$. this is the tough part. for each of those terms, you can still factor out $n$, but I'm not sure if that will get you anywhere
cwatson
you could try asking in #proofs-and-logic , maybe someone there can give some hints
are you supposed to use properties of binomial coefficients/the binomial theorem?
I dont know because this was in a modular arithmetic book, which has an easy proof via modulo 5, but in the end It says that this can also be proved via induction

not much of a math question, but could anyone help me to solve the circuit by kirchoff's law?
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
am actually having trouble tryna apply it, so i would say pretty much the first step
if i were to consider the 30V cell as the source, I'd write:
30V -6V -3i1 -5i2 -6(i1+i2)=0
which gives me 24V= 9i1 +11i2
well what do i do after that? Just consider the upper loop and take only i1?
ill give it a try
will do
do you have the answer key?
ohh yea the answer is 2 amps
ok then im pretty sure i got this right, the first thing is that you cant consider only the 30V one as your source, both the 6V and the 30V are sources
have you set up kirchoffs laws?
ohh
what exactly do y mean by that tho
like what does the mathematical formulation of that look like?
not like this i suppose?
ok so you have to think of the circut as 2 loops
alrightt
i will get discord on my ipad so i can put in some drawings
thanks a lottt :D
np, i need the refresher i have an exam in electromagnetism next week
haha i see, all the best of ur exam!
can someone help pls
when i catch u prince gumball
huh
yeahh i always get confused regarding the second equation
for each loop you have to set up $V_s - V_r - V_r = 0$
caspar
so for the second eqn, we can write smthn like 30V+6V-5(i1+i2)-3i1-6i2=0?
almost, but remember the 3 ohm resistor is not in the loop containing the 30V source
so'
yesyes, that's why i multiplied it only by i1 and not by i2
caspar
ohhhhhhhhhh right that makes more sense
caspar
so when you use kirchoffs 2nd law, remember only 1 loop
yeah i included the second battery and resistor in my loop as well, got it
and then its as easy as solving for $I_1 and I_2$
sometimes these just seem so ambiguous
caspar
yeah it is tricky, but it gets easier just going loop by loop and with practice
okii, thanks again and best of luck for ur exam!
thank you!

there
i barely studied this
but isnt basically
i draw triangle
between the 3 dots\like join them together
Then find mid point of each line
like AB BC and CA
then draw the perpendicular line in mid point of each line
then draw straight line until they line up
or am i missing smth
sounds correct
the point is, that the intersection will be the center of circumscribed circle
since A, B and C lie on the circle, they are same distance away from the center

Right so V = x^3
yes
If V increases to V1
Then let's say that x increases to x1

𝑠

s

, where
𝑠
s is the length of one side.
If the volume increases by 25%, the new volume is
1.25
×
𝑉
1.25×V.
The original side length is
𝑠
s, and the increased length is
𝑠
new
(
1.25
)
1

3
×
𝑠
s
new
=(1.25)
1/3
×s.
So, the increase in side length is approximately
0.077
×
𝑠
0.077×s.
In summary, if the volume of a cube increases by 25%, the side length increases by approximately 7.7% of its original length.
fuk it cropped wrong 😦
yes
yes I see
So now we can cube root this
and we'll get the percentual change in length
more or less
You'll get how much longer the new sides are compared to the old ones
but you can reformulate that
a1/a = sqr (1.25)
so a1/a = 1.077....
so what do I do nexxt
a1/a = 1.077/1
so a = 1?
uhh no
then 1.077 -1
oh yeah I see
a/a + L/a = 1.077
and then you get
L/a = 0.077
which means the side a got increased by 0.077 it's original length
or rather, 7,7...%
how do you do that
a+l/a = 1.077
l = 1.077a-a
l = a(0.077)
l/a = 0.077 so now what?
I see
Thank you
Thank's a lot
You eplained it really well
I just realised this works?

need help understanding this Q
there’s no given z here, it’s it just a flat surface at z=0?
the answer key says no CV, but i found (0,0) as one and haven’t checked the edges and corners. but i assumed they were also 0 because no z component
What's f?

?
f(x,y)= ?
This is part of a larger question
z=f(x,y)=...?
f should be defined somewhere
Yeah so you're now considering f only defined in that region
yea i got it now thanks

Read #❓how-to-get-help for further information on how to ask a good question, and about conduct in the question channels.
the answer is D but idk y its D. I thot it was C because i seperated the x and y compontents, so X wud be 100cos 30 and Y wud be 100 cos 60. 100cos 30 > 100 cos 60 so i concluded that X goes farther horizontally and j assumed it was the opposite for Y
You cannot forget about gravity here
Separating the x and y components is a good first step, but it does not tell you everything you need to solve the problem
well sure but i was focusing on the x compontents which is independent of gravity
when it lands is based on when the y component is 0
correction: when its y coordinate is 0
The range is also dependent on how long the projectiles are in the air, which is dependent on the y position, which is dependent on gravity
You would need to determine the time that each projectile is in the air
ok wait i just realized i apporched this question wrong
😭
i think
i know
what to do
now
thanks

how to solve this problem?
What hav u tried?
i dont know what to do with the numbers in the denominator
take them out of the individual integrals
Why bother with 3 integrals when u can just get one common denominator
since they are constants
i usually see final answers for these types split up
Eh
so i assumed common denominators would be wasteful
plus by splitting it you can individually evaluate each term
helps for beginners ig
It’s not wasteful if it’s more time efficient and easier 
idk cultural difference i guess?
but its nto a definite integral you dont need one chunky combined ans
yes
yes
what is the next step?
you can take out the constants if youd like
as in for the first one it'd be -1/2∫x^4 dx
so your final answer would be -1/2 * (integral of x^4)
for the first bit
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
yes
but remove the integral sign
second line
because you already integrated
ohh okey, thanks for response

it says the answer is sin(theta/2) but I have no idea why!! could someone explain it to me?
so what have you tried till now?
well, the theorum the book gave me is that any angle subtended on the edge of a circle by chord AB will be equal, no matter where it is
but that doesn't help
and, there's no right angles so I can't really use sin, cos, or tan
i know that the length OA and OB are equal
and 1/2
right
whenever there are trigo ratios think about right angles
what can you tell about a bisector of the chord AB drawn from the centre of the circle O
yes
ok lemme try that real quick
what property does that have?
ok so that creates two right triangles. Then looking at the top triangle, the hypotenuse will be 1/2, and the angle opposite now theta/2 will be 1/2AB
right sorry
ok so sin theta/2 should be 1/2AB / 1/2
niceeeeee
ok thank you sm!!
makes sense now
didnt even think about splitting them

Can someone please explain how it was broken down?
after the 25/ 5 root 5
ok so 25 = 5*5
so 25/ 5 root 5 = 5*5/5 root 5
=5/ root 5 (just cancelling the 5 in the num and den)
5= root 5 * root 5
I am not understanding this
so 5/ root 5 = root 5 * root 5/ root 5= root 5/1 (just cancelling root 5 in the num and den)
happy to help!

hi guys can somebody please help me with this question
okay where does the 13C7 come from though?
Intuitively, I'm not sure, I would have done it your way
But you can prove that yours is equal to the given answer
by just expanding the nCr expressions
did you expand them? because either i messed up my calculations or the solutions are not equal
Can you show what you did?
13C7 = 1716 = 11x12x13
therefore 10C3 x 3! x 10C4 x 4! must be equal to 10!
10C3 x 3! = 720 = 6!
so 10C4 x 4! = 7x8x9x10
5040 = 5040
nvm im dumb
thats right
If you don't have a calculator, you can still show they're the same, like
$$_{10} C_3 \cdot 3! \cdot {10} C_4 \cdot 4! \cdot 13!$$
$$\frac{10!}{3!\cdot 7!}\cdot 3! \cdot \frac{10!}{4!\cdot 6!}\cdot 4! \cdot 13!$$
$$\frac{13!}{7!\cdot 6!} \cdot (10!)^2$$
$${13} C_7 \cdot (10!)^2$$
tatpoj
remember the definition of $_n C_r$ is $\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$
tatpoj
sorry that took me a sec, my latex is terrible lol
yea yea right
i just didnt want to get super big numbers and try to solve it by logic
anyway this is still weird
If you do it like this you don't have to deal with any big numbers tho
I mean 13! is a big number but you don't need to actually calculate it
damn thats smart i just realized
I wouldn't have thought to do that though, I only found that because I was trying to turn your answer into the given answer
Like your answer is good too
alright thanks very much for the help
i really appreciate it 🙂
No problem 👍

A diffraction grating is used to investigate an atomic spectrum which is known to contain a wavelength of $430nm$ and one other longer wavelength. In the interference pattern produced by the grating, the fourth-order maxima of the $430nm$ line is observed to fall at the same place as the third maxima of the longer wavelength line.
\vspace{1em}
a) Find the wavelength of the second line emitted from the atomic spectrum.
water beam
how do i start 
use the formula for the position of an intensity maximum & set them equal
Set what equal?

you have that the location of each maximum is givn by $d \sin \theta = m\lambda$ where $d$ is the distance between slits, $\theta$ indicates the angular position of the maximum, $m$ is the order of the maximum and $\lambda$ is the wavelength
cloud
think about which of those things are the same for both
slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyylaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the wavelength?

we are looking at two different wavelengthss which have a coincident position
is it d then?
that's common to anything involving the same grating, yes
so is that what im looking for?
there is another thing that is common between both situations, based on the setup of the problem
@lucid junco Has your question been resolved?
Fringe spacing?
the spacing between fringes is not the same for different wavelengths
but we are considering a situation where two fringes from different wavelengths are in the same position
but if the wavelengths are in the same position how can they be different?
so what value is this>
think about which variable out of m, d, lambda, theta relates to the physical position of the fringe
so the angle is the same then?
yes
so we have the equation [ d \sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1] and also the equation [ d \sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2 ] where $d$ and $\theta$ are common, $m$ and $\lambda$ are distinct
cloud
right
so then given $m_1$, $m_2$, and $\lambda_1$, you can solve for $\lambda_2$
cloud
okay
i got lambda 2 = 573 NM?
is that rite
ok i checked
its rite
thanks so much

The domain of this function is x∈[0,inf),x ≠ √3, right?
no, if x is for example 1, what happens?
ohh right the number can't be negative in the square root
x∈(√3,inf) right?
what about x = -2?
that'd be -2/√1, I don't see a problem with that
exactly, if there's no problem at x=-2, that suggests the function is also defined there right?
right
that still falls into x∈(√3,inf) though
√3 is smaller than 2
-2 is in (sqrt(3), inf)?
yup

i dont know where i went wrong on finding the bearing
someone told me last night how to find it, and from what i can remember, they said to add both angles that are 90
which equal 180
so do i add 180+40?

Hello, I got this question and am stuck. I couldn't think of what to do so i just wrote all the angles in the shape and wrote which sides are equal. The shape on the left is a clean slate if the one on the right is a big messy. Any hints would be amazing. Pls ping me initially when u wanna say smth.
Oh yeah, i forgot smth, im not allowed to use a calculator since its from a non calculator past paper
yes
so we can basically disregard the other half of this image and forcus on the left part alone
alright, so let me make drawing of that to visualise, should only take min
alr, we got this right now
that 15 is for ABE, i put it in there for now in case we need it
Right, so now we've simplified the problem down to one paralelgram with point P
and we know the angles of the paralelogram
we also know AB = x
yep
ye, we dont know its length
But there's an easy trick to get around that
If I tell you, it'll basically solve the whole problem
try to find it yourself first
alright, ill think on it for a bit
focus on what you have and what you wish you had
thanks for the help so far
remember AP is known too
wait, how do we know AP?
Oh sorry, I meant BP
ah, alr, np
Did you manage to find it?
not yet, rn im just alternating through possible ways
The inconvenient part here is the distance PF, it would be convenient to get rid of it
the method im thinking of rn involves some trig, it would find the length of AF but i cant do it without a calculator,
oh yeah, i was thinking of right angle triangles, srry
So here's the hint of all hints
well, it's the answer really
draw a line parallel to FE through P which intersects BE at point G
Observe parallelogram ABPG
Here's another hint, the solution has x as a squared term
wait, r we trying to find AP here?
No
We're trying to find a way to relate angle ABF to x
You can alternatively observe triangle ABP
Alright
Also note that BP is a diagonal to ABPG
and angles in a parallelogram are halved by the diagonals
oh, that completely changes things
Wait no
ABP = 7.5 degrees i think?
alr, that fine
But there is some other property to be looked at here
It doesn't halve it, but it does split it in such a way that angles APB and ABP added up make the angle ABG
we know tht BAP is 165 degrees bc of co interior angles, since the other 2 angles must be equal to 180-165 which is 15. Thats the only relation i see
oh, and APG is 15 for the same reasons as ABG
wait, ima search up parallelogram rules, i think im forgetting something easy here
Ignore the paralelogram, we're just looking at the triangle now
the approach here is to simplify the problem to the most convenient shape
We started with a hexagon, got to a parallelogram and now we have a triangle, a fully defined triangle at that
Now just play around with laws of sines and laws of cosines
and some trig identities probably
and you'll get your answer
one thing, we haven't learnt anything beyond sine law and cosine law, trig identities are at college level.
yeah, im sorry, i dont think thats in my curriculum, some trig identities are in year 12 - 13, which are 2 - 3 yrs beyond where i am right now. A friend of mine has the mark sceme so ill just ask him to show me.
i can send my curriculum if u want to skim through it
Well then it might be solvable with sin and cos laws
but I'm pretty sure you should have done like
sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x) by now
im sorry, we haven't yet, ill show a pic of all the trig stuff we have learnt so u have a better idea of what im at.
this is the only stuff i know
on trig
huh, so you need to solve this at your grade?
yep
wait, i have the answer, ill send it here so u can see
this is the mark scheme
I see
Well I took a different approach because I assumed we're dealing with all of trig available here
yeah, thats fair
ill close this help channel since i have the answer now, thanks for the help regardless

Hi I am stuck on this question (part b). I am a bit stuck on the method to achieving the answer, more specifically steps 3 and 4 indicated. The markscheme is not particularly clear and I would like a bit of help understanding what to do. Thanks.
Which part do you not understand?
What do you not understand?
I do not understand steps 3 and 4 of the markscheme
So what do you think happened at step 3?
Well I know that the (x-1) is multiplyed up, but from there I am lost
Honestly they just ate a lot of steps.
Yeah, just got it thanks. The fact they just decided to skips showing steps is really unhelpful. Anyways, thanks.

I need help with parabolas
I don’t know how to find the equation of a parabola by looking at a parabola
I believe there is different forms of parabolas
Well you could find it’s min and max and use the complete the square form
y=ax^2 +bx + c standard form
y=(x-p)(x-q) Factorised form
y=a(x-h)^2 + k Vertex (TP) form
What do you mean it’s min and max
Huh
what kind of parabolas
do you mean polynomials?
What parabola are you looking at?
