yes
mx -1y + c
We can also get c using the point of A
Yes good enough
I said that only
U satisfy for c
Now only m
Okok
Good enough
Yea we done here
For x and y we use the midpoint of c2 (8,5)
oh?
(0,5) and what?
Yes
I was going to use (ax + by + c)/sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = length of radius of circle c2
yeye
b=-1
Yep
ah oops
6
Okok
c2 is (y - 5)^2 + (x - 8)^2 = 36
Is it wrong
read which?
I dont understand
this is c2?
Yes
But yes it ultimately forms this only
I saw it now
My bad
Carry on
@shell orbit
Find
Oh my god
Why am I getting +- √(3/29)
🤦♂️
c1 is (y + 1)^2 + (x + 0)^2 = 16
Sry hahaha
Im still calculating 1 moment
Okok
Yes me too
Okok
Good
Now just put m in
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
Where x1 and y1 are coordinates of one point on line that is A
(y-5)=-sqrt(5)/2(x-0)
What
I did what you said
Ah you can do them together?
Ah oke

The question of this task is if P and R lie on the line that A B make?
My question is why we chose the direction vector s to point up, aka so that s = AB vector, why didn't we chose so that its direction is downwards aka. so that s = BA vector?

Find the equation of the line L
I also tried forming a triangle with 2R as an hypotenuse and R as one cathetus, but I shouldn't hvae done this, because I am assuming things and it gives the wrong answer if I also apply it to the line above
<@&286206848099549185>
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
is that a tangent?
You'll need to compute R some way or another
Do you know the equation for a circle center on (p,q) with radius r?
Well, I know it, but from school and I'm in a pre-university academy. I am catching up on some topics and I haven't learned that equation yet, so I shouldn't use it
Well I have a solution that doesn't involve that but it very much feels like cheating
mm why cheating?
Like it's most likely not how you're supposed to solve this
like using more advanced math?
I'm not sure how you're supposed to solve this without knowing how to represent a circle as an equation and without using my "cheaty" method
Not particularly advanced, no
Do you know which answer is correct already?
yes
Tell me
C
Ok
So let me show you my odd method but again it's not how you're supposed to do this
Also just to be sure, we know that the small arc is a semi-circle and the big arc is a quarter of a circle, right?
mm ok
yes
Alright so we only have 5 options, let's rewrite them as y = ...
- A) y = (x-175)/7
- B) y = (-x+135)/7
- C) y = (-x+175)/7
- D) y = 7x-150
- E) y = -7x+135
Do you agree with this?
Alright and we know that the line L crosses the big arc at x=0 and also somewhere else, but since it's a quarter of a circle, its slope is only slightly downward
Right
So B and C are our only options
Now which one is correct depends on that radius R
The line crosses the y axis at (0, 2R), correct?
yes
If the answer is B, then 2R = 135/7 which is approximately 19.3
If the answer is C, then 2R = 25
mm right
Ok now we know that 2R must be greater than the distance between P and the origin
and how do you do it w the equation of a circle
?
perhaps I am expected to discover it by myself
You can see that since P is on the green circle, if you draw the purple circle, it will intersect the x axis at a value less that the green circle
yes
It's always going to be the case until P is at the very edge and the purple and blue circles coincide
So no matter where P is on the green circle, the distance between P and the origin is less than the diameter of the green circle
yes
Now it turns out that this distance between P and the origin is sqrt(16^2+12^2) = 20
And that's more than the 135/7 from option B
We know that 2R is more than that, so it has to be option C, 25
you're right
and how do you do it w the equation of a circle?
perhaps I am expected to discover it by myself
First step is to find the green circle, with center (R,0), so its equation is (x-R)^2 + y^2 - P^2 = 0
It passes through the origin, so (0-R)^2 + 0^2 - P^2 = 0, meaning P = R
It also passes through P, so (16-R)^2 + 12^2 - R^2 = 0
That gives you 2R = 25
Then the blue circle is easy, center (0,0) and radius 2R
Then the black line through points P and (2R,0)
Then the intersections between that black line and the blue circle (that's the orange lines)
It gives you x=7 or x=25
Plugging x=7 back into the line equation gives you y=24
So finally you have the line L going through (0,25) and (7,24)
The corresponding equation is answer C
Note that instead of finding an equation for the black line, you can also say that P is the midpoint between the two intersections between that line and the big arc, because there is an isosceles triangle where P is on the perpendicular bisector
So if one intersection is at x=25, the other is at x = 16 - (25-16) = 7
mm right, is also the midpoint
Seems a bit more complicated
yeah
Anyway, I still don't know how you're supposed to do this without the equation of a circle
me neither
sometimes that happens
I have exercises that I didn't have the information needed to solve it
well, thx

Hello, I would like to ask this linear algebra question, related to affine spaces and barycentric coordinates/combination. I am given this proof from a textbook, but I don't understand it
The main thing is, I dont understand the part where a+l is just switched back to a
Like I know that a+l because of operation in an affine space, it would still be inside of A, and I know that the sum of the constants yi from the field K add up to 1 (it's from the definition of barycentric)
notice that you can rewrite the sum, and you have a term left which is just zero, the one they mention
(and they factor)
yes, i see that [ 1-sum(yi) ] * l = 0
because the sum of yi's are just 1
but im still confused tho
like how do i manipulate the LHS of the equation
sum yi(ai -a -l) = sum yi(ai-a) - l sum yi
and then factor out l with the l you have on the outside
how do you factor out the l?
isnt the l a vector?
and the rest are scalars?
wait so
ok so you have a + l + sum yi(ai -a - l) = a + l + sum yi(ai-a) - l sum yi on the LHS, right?
i mean i understand summation properties but its just that vectors and scalars are just messing with my mind right now
im so sorry
,, a + l + \sum_{i = 0}^s y_i (a_i - a \2r{- l}) = a + l + \sum_{i = 0}^s y_i(\2r{-l}) + \sum_{i = 0}^s y_i(a_i - a)
ah so you just do basic separation and factorization and since yi and (ai-a) contains index i you cant put them out
what part is messing with you?
and l here is just independent so i can just put it outside in some sense
i guess you could say it like that
ah i see, after this may i have a hint on what i should do?
wdym after this
thats it
i would recommend refreshing yourself with algebra if that's what is the confusing part here?
,, y_i(a_i - a \2r{-l}) = y_i(a_i - a) + y_i(\2r{-l})
im so sorry like i just realized i asked a silly question
i understand what you mean now
no need to apologize, after all this is a help channel
please ask any question you'd like
really thanks for all your help, backoseph and aslan
well
this is related to the above but if i may ask
,, \sum_{i = 0}^s y_i(\2r{-l}) = \2r{-l} \sum_{i = 0}^s y_i = \2r{-l}
it's still the same concept but now the sum of the xi's are equal to 0
yeah
ah okay, i will try this then
i got back to where it started
wait mb i tried again
so can this say that sum xi(ai-a) doesnt depend on a?
because it now contains only xi and ai?

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
do you know that you can take linear combos of the a_i?
they come from an affine space, so surely you can only add them after you subtract off the a
wait so you mean i did wrong steps here?
i dont understand
a_i comes from the affine space A because they're just points or 'coordinates' from the set A right?
but im confused to the meaning of taking the linear combos
.reopne
.reopen
✅
allg
the difference of two affine points give you a point in a linear space
at which point you can use the vector space operations like addition
you cannot add two points in affine space
wait difference between two affine points say a is in A and b is in A
then a-b wouldnt it be a vector? or am i wrong here
yes a - b would be a vector in a linear space
so then it makes sense to take linear combos
but for instance the sum of a_is themselves does not make sense
you have to take a sum of (a_i - a)
yes, i think i understand, because say a1 + a2 + a3 in an affine space doesnt make sense
because usually you would add a vector to a point, like say a is in the affine A
and v is from the associated vector space V
but how do you do this? taking the sum of ai-a?
like do it one by one? or something else?
i'm just giving an example but since a_i and a come from A, their difference is in V
so taking sums is just as you'd do in V
so i dont need to do it mathematically, but i just need to say that
ai-a basically just represents a vector from the associated vector space V from the affine space (A,V)?
or am i still wrong here?
i'm not sure what you mean by do it mathematically
a_i - a is in V
you can just add them by the vector space axioms
no i mean like are these steps wrong? because i did it just like the example before?
i understand the concept you just taught me, but im confused how its related to this calculation
this is the correct calculation
this afterwards does not make sense
you can't separate the a_i from the -a in the sum
the fact that you even have a_i - a is what's allowing you take the sum in the first place
ahh i see, separating it would be wrong because the subtraction results to a vector, and x_i times a does not make sense as well?
yeah
by the way a point cant be multiplied by another point?
okay so after obtaining the result, which comes back to the beginning, how should i say/conclude?
and nothing else
essentially the choice of a doesn't matter
like ai-a is just a vector from V and xi(ai-a) is just linear combos of vector inV?
because you can replace it with another a' = a + l and you get the same result
yep
OHHH
my brain just understood this

so in some sense it's saying that the a is not 'unique'?
like you can add a with another vector l
and still get the same result?
well that's kind of a way to phrase it
or am i saying it wrong
alright i mustve said some mistake, but i get the meaning now
i'd rather say that the expression does not depend on the choice of a
alright i get it

and a+l still lies on the affine A because it's the basic binary operation that defines the affine space in the beginning?
l being a vector in V (and a being a point in the affine A)
if you have another a' in A, then the difference a' - a is an element of V
ahh i see, so it's better to phrase it that way

you just explained something i could not understand for a whole day thanks a lot brother

idk if its normal to be stuck on something trivial like this for a day,
nah it's fine
👍
the abstractness can be confusing at first if you don't have good concrete examples
that is very true
alright brother, im not gonna waste more of your time if you want to help others
i got a class now so i gotta dash anyway
but thanks a lot and have a nice day/evening

hi, how would I go about factoring this to find all real solutions?
I have tried putting the -2 on the other side and factoring out x^2, but i got stuck there
like this: $x^2(x^2-3)=-2$

$\int_C\frac{-e^{-i\omega}}{\omega^2+2\gamma \omega i-\omega_0^2}d \omega$\
Where $\omega \in \mathbb{C}$ and $C$ is the semicircular arc in the upper half plane with a radius -> $\infty$
KySquared
I’ve already shown it equals 0 for t<0. But the way I did it felt really slow
Can anyone help with speeding up the proof or give tips on how I could get to the conclusion faster?
I went about it by brute force and expanded everything
I’m trying now to instead use polar representation but I’m kinda stuck
$\int_C\frac{-e^{-i\omega t}}{\omega^2+2\gamma \omega i-\omega_0^2}d \omega \longrightarrow \int_{0}^{\pi}\lim_{R \to \infty}\frac{-e^{-iRe^{i\theta}t}}{(Re^{i\theta})^2+2\gamma Re^{i\theta}i-\omega_0^2} iRe^{i\theta} d\theta$
KySquared
i mean as R tends to infinity, the numerator is a decaying exponential in R and the denominator behaves linearly
assuming you use the R from the differential to reduce the quadratic denominator to a linear one
try using jordan’s lemma if you want, specifically since your contour is the upper half semicircle and since your integrand is multiplied by a complex exponential
Thats the problem
I’m not allowed to directly use jordan’s lemma
oh
there are common ways to bound the absolute value using inequalities
like triangle and reverse triangle
that’s your best bet without jordan’s
My idea was to change the complex number in the exponential from polar to rectangular
Then expand from there
generally leaving in polar is best here
but you might be able to bound the exponential in the numerator by expanding using euler’s formula
But my concern is that $e^{-iwt}=e^{yt}e^{-itx}$
KySquared
Which kinda still depends on R by the polar definition
Would I still be able to pull it out the limit regardless?
I’m in the upper half hemisphere so $y\geq 0$ so it theoretically works out. But idk if selectively choosing what is in polar/what’s in cartesian is allowed
KySquared
so the absolute value of the integrand is <= |R| * |e^(-iRte^(iθ))| / |denominator|
uh i’m just tryna check if this works
then |e^(-iRte^(iθ))| = |e^(-iRt(cos(θ) + isin(θ)))| = |e^(-iRtcos(θ))| * |e^(Rtsin(θ))| <= |e^(Rtsin(θ))|
that make sense?
@olive lichen
I follow
and we’re concerned about when t < 0?
as θ varies from 0 to π, sin(θ) is always positive, so tsin(θ) is always negative, so Rtsin(θ) is some negative number as R tends to infinity
which means the exponent is always negative and gets increasingly more negative, so |e^(Rtsin(θ))| <= |e^0| = 1
following?
@olive lichen sorry for pinging i just wanna make sure you see it
Ahh okay
makes sense?
Yeah it makes sense. I went a similar route but I haven’t considered using the triangle inequality
Pretty much I noticed the entire function was being multiplied by $e^{yt} \geq 0$ for $y \in C$ but that would cause everything to diverge thus to make it converge t must be <0
KySquared
yeah that's pretty much necessary
so then this exponential has absolute value <= 1
so absolute value of integral is <= |R| / |denominator|
which is |R / (R^2 * complex exponential + R * stuff * complex exponential - constant)|
you could technically be more rigorous here and find a way to upper bound the denominator using reverse triangle inequality
but at this point it's clear that letting R tend to infinity causes that upper bound to vanish to 0
showing that your integral vanishes on the contour
For this, wouldn’t $\abs{e^{-iR\cos{(\theta)}t}}$ just be 1?
KySquared
@cinder sequoia
yes, so actually that last sign should be an equality, not an inequality
most complex analysis i’ve seen doesn’t care too much about the specifics tbh they’re quite hand wavey with the inequalities
Gotcha
But ah okay
Yeah this is basically what I did except without abs
I ended up with $e^{yt}$(fraction1 - fraction2$i$)
KySquared

can somebody check my solution
Rewrite into a quadratic in terms of x:
4x^2 + (4y-16)x + (2y^2-4y+23)
To look at the minimum value for x, we can use the shortcut h=-b/2a
this gives -y/2 + 2 as the minimum for x
subbing into x and simplifying
we get y^2 + 4y + 7
and the minimum of this is 3
I did work out all the steps
i didnt want to say them all as it’d be too long, just listed the crucial steps
(the correct answer is 3, just want to know if i got it by chance or is the logic right)
Okok

7. None of the above
Which step are u on
i dont want to be rude but i clearly am in stage 4
i just want to see if the logic is right
as i ended up getting the right answer
@neat sierra
yea
its minimize the expression
and i didnt minimize x or u
x or y
i put the expression in terms of y
and then minimzed it entirey
are you a troll
,w min (4x^2+2y^2+4xy-16x-4y+23)
does my logic look right to you
oppais a troll literally just looked through his chat logs
The idea is good.
You're minimizing the function for a fixed y, yielding an expression for the minimizing x in terms of that fixed y.
Then you plug it back into the original expression to minimize the whole value in terms of y.
In general, if you've learned that in the context of the class, you can always use calculus, but again it's a good approach, although it might not work for general functions (here it's "easy" since we can find the optimal x right away, which might not be the case for higher degree expressions, for instance.)
So the logic is there?
Also i cant use calculus
I would if i could
Yeah I figured you were restricted in some way.
Because its a contest problem for high school math and im not allowed to use calculus
Thanks so much
But yeah it's logically sound

split it into a couple shapes that you can calculate the area of, calculate and add them together
Hi
I don't see a smart way/shortcut to do this honestly, yeah takes a bit of patience but should be pretty easy though
is the problem finsihed here?
yea, just cut the figure into different parts and label them starting from A
that is what i did in primary school though...
so that's right
Kk

so is it 6 times 6 19 times 7 28 times 14 and 19 times 4
yea just add them all up
i did is wrong
what'd you get?

Yo guys how did that long equation simplify to that?
imagine a simpler case where
,, \frac{a}{b^{\frac{1}{2}}} - \frac{c}{4b^{\frac{3}{2}}}
imagine doing this subtraction
the first step would be to make the bases the same
[code{RED}]
Not that hard, multiply the bases together.
Then multiply the top by the opposite bottom
not necessary

77²
hmm I dont believe i have learnt this
it is just the next term over previous term
I see, in this case its the 3rd and 5th terms though
yup
and two variables
a and r
slightly lost, do I need to figure out r first before i can determine a using the formula?
see from here, you can make two equations in terms of a and r, right?

So for H, its basically asking for functions such that the second derivative = 8281 * the original function. So that means the exponential, sinh and cosh are solutions. So does that mean H is the span of (exp(-91x), exp(91x), sinh(91x), cosh(91x))? And as H is closed under addition and scalar multiplication, it means its a subspace of S?

✅
if the points were uniformly spaced, what do you expect the answer to be?
the amount of points in an area should be proportional to the area
the measure of the area
do you get that idea?
what do you want to say about random behaviour
for random walks, a main idea is probably distance from origin
i just want an intuition to apply to better understand probability

Can someone please explain the fluid force centroid section
I get the integral for fluid force, and I get centroids, but when it tries to combine the two I’m not following
Specifically “moment about surface level line…”
Nvm I get it now

Let's say I have a convex function f : R^n -> R.
If f((x1, x2, ..., xn)) < f((x'1, x'2, ..., x'n)), then the minimum is necessarily attained for a xopt on the side of x1 (meaning if x'1 > x1 then the interval [x'1;+inf) is useless and x'1 < x1 then the interval (-inf; x'1] is useless), etc .. ?
@sacred kettle Has your question been resolved?
no
not every convex function has a minimum? so you can't say anything whether a minimum is necessarily attained without at least the condition of a minimum existing
mmh good point, what if the convex function is unimodal on top of it then?
Consider $f(x,y)=(x+y)^2+y^2$. Then $f(-1,1) < f(-0.5,1)$ so if I understand correctly you're claiming that the optimum solution will have first coordinate not in $[-0.5,\infty)$? this is false, since the minimum is at $(0,0)$

Why did we get +-pi/6?
!occupied
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
The ref angle for cos(x)=(sqrt 3)/2 is pi/6, but cosine is also positive in the fourth quadrant, so we consider -pi/6 (the angle in the fourth quadrant with a reference angle of pi/6) as well
I only understood that cos is positive in the 4. quadrant, but the rest I didn't. Could you give me a simpler explanation?
Why do we consider -pi/6 if it is negative?
(the angle in the fourth quadrant with a reference angle of pi/6) as well
Note that 2pi - pi/6 is coterminal with -pi/6
What does coterminal mean?
I'm sorry but I still don't understand... I don't get why -pi/6 is in the positive quadrant aka the 4. quadrant of cos.
I understand this part but I don't understand how it fits to answer my question
@tiny finch Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
More help?
Please🥺
There is+ - pi/6 because in the first and fourth quadrant, cos is positive
but -pi/6 is negative
Here, think it as Cos being the X values, and sin as thr y values.
The angle is, but x is positive, y is negative
So sin-pi/6 would be negative
In th fourth quadrant, it’s expressed as (x,-y)(x, y are natural numbers)
So x is pos and y is neg
Dm me if you have questions
Can I add you as a friend?
Sure

Probability
Random variable and varience
!status
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
Like how did they put a whole square there
it's how you compute variance
Var(aX+b) = a^2Var(X)
if you can't see why, go back to the definition E(X^2) - E(X)^2 (Koenig-Huygens formula)
The thing is this isn't tought in our school and its also not in our syllabus so that is why i dont knew the full info
Thanks

ok so
i'll show my work process and wjere i got stuck
2log5(x)=log5(225)
log5(x^2)=log5(225)
log5(225)-log5(x^2)=0
log5(225/x^2) = 0
Log of negative values are ...
theres a better way
undefined
Isin't it x^2 = 225?
raise to the power of 5
oh
2log5(x)=log5(225)
log5(x^2)=log5(225)
(log5(x^2))^5=(log5(225))^5
x^2=225
x= -15, 15
x=15, as you cannot take the log of negative nums
is this right?
i guess so
Yes
If you only need real values of 2logx
yes?
Then only 15
yeah this is alg 2 i don't think they're looking for complex solutions

prove or disprove:
if a_n as a positive seq approaching zero, so there is a sub seq a_n_k such that the sum from 1 to infty of (a_n_k) is convergent
I think that this statement is false and a counter example is the harmonic series,
however I did not know how to prove that sum(1/n) does not have any subseq that converges
i believe that counter example does not work. for example, choose a_n_k = 1/k^2, which converges
oooh 😂😂😂😂😂
how did i not notice

had to guess on this one
don't know what to do here
Multiply (ax+b)(2x+d) out
2ax^2 + 2bx + cax + bc
Great
i set 2ax^2 to 6x^2 and got a = 3 but idk if thats gonna help
Let's compare the coefficient without an x. What do you get?
bc = 54
Do you see why b) is true now?
yes i see now, since c and b multiply to get 54, 54 divided by any of those numbers will get us a integer
Just 54/b = c. And c is an integer by definition
yep thanks
You're welcome

I’m pretty sure Grogg must travel to an even amount of stations
and I think I have to find the amount of ways for 2,4,6,8, and 10
This is not true
Oh
or how about the amount of lines we use?
they have to be even
So you can use 2,4 or 6lines
And then find the cases for each?
Also not true
all I can think is try to simplify the diagram. Cut off all the loose edges and maybe find a way to redraw
why would this not be true?
Hmm
Are you thinking we can't continue along the same line after visiting a station?
Otherwise it's not true because it's easy to find examples where it's false
Ok I see what you mean
"using" a line meaning actually going on it, not just passing through it
Or well
Yeah sorry for th confusion
I was thinking of the line segments
Np
So yes you need to use an even number of lines, though not necessarily an even number of line segments
How about for 4 and 6 lines

One small question. A point in linear algebra is never actually a point but a vector from the coordinate 0 of the point A, correct or incorrect, if incorrect then why?

🥺
it's more like you can think about them both ways
sometimes one is more useful than the other
It's kinda hard to give example ig
But u will understand when to use it
Instincts
how do I visualize a task then
?
sorry, not the best question. How do you visualize a task when solving it?
For geometry it is best to draw the diagram
like for example here in step 4, how the heck do you remember to do that?
It's not even a pattern so that I can solve multiple geometry tasks it's just intuition that I don't know how to build, please help me find a way
Find a point in which the line crosses through the plane. Whats the angle between p (line) and pi (plane)?
I tried to solve it by myself but there is no way I would remember to do the 4. step on my own so I just gave up
yes
So here
U convert the line into parametric
And u get a parametric point
U then substitute it into the plane
Which gives the value of t
U put t in parametric
U get point
I get that, but how do you build intuition to solve this without looking at the answer?
That is the process u generally use
For finding intersection
Basically
U got 2 equations
But 3 unknowns
So u try to convert it to have less unknowns
How do u do that?
U compare stuff in line
To get parametric
In one unknown
Then u sub that in plane to get the values of unknown
Ye I kind of get it
Nice
Is there a way to solving geometry tasks in general?
Way of thinking or something of help, some system, visualisation...?
U fine that then u have many ways to solve a question
Basically draw stuff
Try manipulation by drawing lines and all
At start ull face some issues
But later on ull get the idea on ur own
but I drew this and still didnt know what to do after the 3. step
I guess I would get half points for finding the angle where p and pi intersect but I'm not satisfied with that
I'm guessing practice is the only thing that will help me here?
thank you for the help, I have to go to sleep. Good night
Ok so
U cannot find the angle directly
Remember from plane equation
U can get normal vector?
nono I get the problem I understand it
Im just talking in general

how many five letter passwords can be made from the letters of the word ESPRESSO?
i got 820, just want to check if its right cos my answers say 760
This is my messy working out
I just characterised the letters into triple, double and single letters then found out the different cases that can be made
Am I over counting in any case?
5! for single
2 * 5C2 * 4 * 3 * 2 for 1 pair
5C2 * 3C2 * 3 for 2 pair
5C3 * 4 * 3 for 1 triple
5C3 for 1 triple and 1 pair
i think
hm that also adds to 820
ye

help explain pls
inscribed angles
what grade you in
ok so im pretty sure this is solvedd by using inscribed angles
we dont know y or x
yeah, I know
we only know the arc lengths
is there any more information given?
I don't think there's enuf info too
We don't know any lengths(that could help us)
If that line were moved up towards the red line then the angles x and y will be different
So there's no unique answer unless something else it known
howd u find z
What do those 2 values 66 and 96 define
Which angle are they referring to ?
Exactly the question I was gonna ask
Is this the complete original problem? @barren radish
I feel as though we must be missing information
The outside of the circle
yes
Huh.
this is just inscribed angle theorem
oh, no wonder I couldn't think of a method lol
There's no angle at the center ....
my Euclidean geometry is extremely limited outside of angle chasing 
an angle with the vertex at the center of the circle (red) will have 66 degrees (same angle measure as the arc it's describing), an angle with the vertex somewhere on the circle itself will have half the measure of the arc it's describing (green), it's a bit clearer if the green is on either side of the center, but it ultimately doesn't matter
Okay the 66 degrees is the angle of the arc
so it's a bit clearer in the picture of the theorem i pasted (angle O is double angle C), but no matter how you move A, B, C it holds true
yes
Then the question is solved

Hello
no
Reverse chain rule?
Reverse chain rule
No, u-sub will do
I hate u-sub
technically yes since there's a composition but not necessary since the derivative is just 1
Is there any intuitive alternative
U sub is the easiest trick in the toolbox
$\int{f'(ax+b)}dx=\frac{f(ax+b)}{a}+K$
it is just a generalized thing derived from u-sub
but works only for linears
Am I right
uh no
what's the extra stuff you multiplied by
the integral of x+1
the "indefinite" integral I suppose
This can be only solved by U-sub I suppose?
yeah
you don't multiply by the integral
I think the second part shouldn’t be there
