Do you know how to simplify squareroots?
no
ok
into 13
√(2 × (2 ×13))
Yess
yeah
So it's 2√13
No problem!
find the other length of 7,10 triangle
12.2
You don't need to go in decimals
so just 12
If your questions don't explicitly mention it
oh ok
The length should be √149
oh yeah
ok
Now find the x
√149+8^2?
Close it's (√149)^2 + 8^2
oh ok
kinda
I may explain then
ok ^^
In the 7,10 triangle
pythagoras theorem states
a² + b² = c²
a = 7 and b = 10
oh ok i get why now
because we only found one side of it, so in order to find c we would have to square the answer
yess root value is the original value of the side to put it in pythagoras we need to square it
from the first triangle
exactlyyy
Yes
Just remember for these kinda questions
a² + b² + c² = d²
i meant
i never learnt this
It's kinda like an upgraded pythagoras theorem
Where a b c are sides
of the cuboid
and d is the diagonal
ah ok
You actually I think did when the gojo guy was explaining it to you
we need the value of d
so im assuming
d = √(a² + b² +c²)
do something similar to what we did for a^2 and so on
that guy didnt explain too well
Oh I see it's alright
Is it understandable till this then?
yes
a is 8, b is 5, and c is 6?
Yes
for these ones, does the number and letter matter?
Not necessarily it should just have to be sides of cuboid
Yes
so then 125 is what i got directly from this
11
No no
oh
When I said don't go to decimals
righttt
Dont just remove em, keep the roots
we have to simplify the square root i guess???
Yes
sorry im not used to keeping the root
I understand no issues, it just makes it clear and simpler if roots are present
it does
How can you break 125
i dont know if this would be any help but its some number in between 12 and 13
Well sorry but not really, whenever you're given something like this
oh ok
definitely by 5
certainly
and thats it
ok
thats fine
ok
DC = 6 cm
so d e is 4?
You're right
ok
6^2-4^2=b^2?
Yup
√20 ≠ 10
huh?
b² = 20
oh ok
b = √20
ohh
ok
oh we're trying to figure out a c
nope!
the questions says that
DA is c
that sounded rude i didnt mean to be rude my bad
It didn't don't worry
wait does the 3,4,5 thing apply?
Certainly
oh ok so then this one would be 3
to 10?
Try to break it step by step
yayyy
(3 + 2√5) cm
that went to decimals, i got 7.47
Yeah thats right
wt
It's in cm
oh ok
Oh no sorry
but on the image it says cm
yeah
its fine
so 7.47 no rounding
no it would be 7.5
Yes
It'll be done in no time
its another kite one
Let's go
Use the same principles
ok
Absolutely
ec is √5?
Yupp
cb is 9?
Might be, but do we really need cb here?
ye
4^2-√5^2?
Tell me the sides you're subtracting here
da and de
check their lengths
Absolutely
12
how?
oh ok
Are you doubtful in something
so √12+√5
You may ask I'll help
yeah im kinda not understanding that
It's okay, let us work with your thought process then
ok
How did you think and find the length
which length?
In triangle DAE
AE
so db was 4 cm, so half of that was 2cm
and then da is 4
so 4^2-2^2
thats what i got
absolutely correct
ok
just one final step
when you do this
you're applying the pythagorean theorem
a² + b² = c² (general formula)
where a and b are sides of triangle and c is the hypotenuse(the longest side)
In triangle DAE
The longest side = DA = hypotenuse = 4cm
And you have one of the sides that is 2 cm
Put the values in pythagoras theorem
a² + (2)² = (4)²
a² = 4² - 2²
a² = 12
a = √12
Now tell me what part is troubling you
why are we adding √?
ohh
so to remove the square we use √ both sides
Got it completely?
i think so
Then tell me what else you're unsure of
so we just have to add ce and ae now? then the we remove the √?
ok
Why do we even put √
uh...
It's because we want the actual length
Not squared length
In pythagoras theorem everything is squared
both the sides and hypotenuse
always use the formula for reference
ok
Does it make sense till a² = 12?
Till here that is
yes
im not sure but √17 or am i being dumb
i added 12 and 5...
Well it works with numeric values but not in square roots lemme show how you why
√100 + √25 = 10 + 5 = 15
But if it is
√125 then it'll be = 5√5
5√5 = 11.1
ah okk
So when we have two square root values
Either we leave them by simplifying them or we convert them into decimals
In this question it's better to convert I believe
i think so too
As they want an approximate round off
yeah
So √12 + √5
how would we simplify again...sorry
No problem
Simplifying is only necessary when we want it to stay in root
We don't
Right now
Just convert them into decimals
And add them
oh ok!
?
i got that problem wrong
Why may you think that
im studying for a test so im on deltamath
and it tell you once you've got the problem wrong
Is there an explanation?
i accidently skipped it...sorry
well no issues
here let me show you what i see
Yes
Do you need to answer this question?
Damn sorry
nah its fine
What was the formula I told you
yeah i did, my bad
Np so what's the value
153
You sure?
wait do we need to add √?
It says simplest radical form
so no?
Whenever you see that phrase you gotta keep roots and check if it's simplify-able or not
so i can do 2
i think thats all you can do
so 2√79
√158 that is
We only do that when
For example
√20
√(2×2×5)
see how the number repeats itself twice
that won't have the root but the number doesn't will
so 2√5
In this case
√(2×79)
There is no repetition of number
Hence no number will come out of root
oh ok
Yes
so the answer is √2x79
Yes that is √158
a^2+b^2+c^2=d^2
If you feel something unsure I'll assist you
Yes
don't forget the root
Of course!
don't forget why we add root
d² = 109
we need d
so we √ both sides
√(d²) = d = √109
squareroot cancels the square
yes i will remember thank you!
That is all that matters then
You did fantastic work
thankss
is it ok if we freind request
because when you explain
i really can understand
i havent understood that much from others
I've no problem at all I just come really less online so like I might not be good of a help most of the time
its ok
Thank you that really means alot
I did!
thank you! you faster than me!
just sometimes
alright well sorry for keeping you up late
do i have to do anything to like clsoe this chat or?
Not a bit of a problem and yes you need to

I need help with this exercite, it wnats me to get it to a simple form ,idk it looks basic but I can t find an algoritm to get it down . I let what I have tried up ,if it helps...
@digital sky Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Please , if you guys could take a look, maybe you seen it în the past
what is meant by simple form here ? is it talking about normal form ? in which diagonal elemnts are constants and other elements are zero ?
@digital sky Has your question been resolved?
No , it means to be writed as a product of terms
@obsidian brook do you have any idea?
yes i think it would be good if we can simplify the determinant before doing main calculations in some way
Yes
There is no other way
I have worked other exercices and that is the principle
But how?
Subtract the first row from all other rows

My question: What is a homogeneous equation?
Theme: exponential equations. That is, this is not trigonometry
is there somone who understand frensh
stop doing this
wait in your own channel, dont spam it in everyone else's
or open a new one if you wish to
If we have a function $f(x,y)$, then \
$f(tx,ty)=t^nf(x,y)$
AkitoLite
in other words, you are able to factor out some tⁿ from f(tx,ty) to obtain tⁿf(x,y)
an example is $f(x,y) = x^3 + y^3$ \
$f(tx,ty) = (tx)^3 + (ty)^3 = t^3(x^3+y^3)$
AkitoLite
I have task number 222 under number 2)
but I don’t get how to convert this equation into a homogeneous one. I thought that here I just need to equate the bases so that I can equate the degrees.
Do I still need to do something differently and not the way I think?
<@&286206848099549185>
um, 5^(x+4) = 5 * 5^(x+3)
@lofty gate Has your question been resolved?
what does it mean? I meant that I understood that we need to solve this equation as 2^4x-6 = 4^x+1
2^4x-6 = (2^2)^x+1
2^4x-6 = 2^2x+2
4x-6 = 2x+2
4x-2x = 6+2
2x = 8
x = 4
like something like that, only the equation is what’s in the photo
you're going to have to use some more rules of exponents and try some things

where did the summation come from
you're trying to find the sum of all the solutions
shouldnt the upper limit be 6 then?
no, because 7^3 + 7 <= 500
ok ok , i was doing 1 + 1 + 8 + 2 + 27 + 3 and so on untill the sum exceeded 500
Thanks

Is it possible to figure out the function for the black line or does it look like im just supposed to use (base*height)/2 of the triangle ?
so like how do I figure it out cause. I keep thinking its y(x) = 1-pi/2 * x
but it gives the wrong values
i think itll just be easier to calculate the area of the triangle
itll make the integral easier aswell
<@&268886789983436800> ?
well we only know it crosses the y axis at 1 and x axis at pi/2
how much does it go down and how much to the right to get from the first to the second of these points
aint this just tan v = height/length to find the angle?
or where does the divison come from?
y=mx+b and you plug the points (0,1) and (pi/2,0) in
you get a 2x2 system for m and b
solving for m gives you that formula
wait so its delta y/delta x?
the system is especially easy here cause of the 0s
yes

Hi! I need some help verifying whether my proof for a question is correct. Heads up It is a question for a summer programme but I don't need any help just need someone to confirm my reasoning
!da2a
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/

yeah yeah ik but since it's a summer programme question I didn't want anybody to think im cheating 
ill send it hold on
I got the answer which is all the numbers in S will be in the range [1/2.1] but I wanted to know if its possible to conclusively state which rationals in that range will be in S

so i tried to move one term in the other
sqrt(4x-y^2)=sqrt(4x^2+y)+sqrt(y+2)
square everything
and we got to 4x^2+2y+2sqrt(4x²y+y²+8x²+2y)-4x+y^2=0
solve for the square root term and square both sides again
if youre squaring remember to square in the form a^2 + b^2 + 2ab
but its gonna be smth like (a+b+c+d)^2

i dont think THIS is the right way
if you solve it in a more efficient way ping me
@errant hamlet Has your question been resolved?
just checking something -_-
$\sqrt{2X + 1 + 2Y - Y^2} - \sqrt{Y + 1} = \sqrt{X^2 + 2X +Y}$
Arya
$2X + 1 + 2Y - Y^2 = X^2 + 2X + Y + Y + 1 + 2\sqrt{Y + 1}\sqrt{X^2 + 2X + Y}$
Arya
yes
oh btw I substituted X = 2x - 1, Y = y + 1
wait a sec
how did you get to this?
isnt there X^2+2Y+2√(Y + 1)(X² + 2X + Y)=0 ?
You understood till here?
$\cancel{2X} + \cancel{1} + \cancel{2Y} - Y^2 = X^2 + \cancel{2X} + \cancel{Y} + \cancel{Y} + \cancel{1} + 2\sqrt{Y + 1}\sqrt{X^2 + 2X + Y}$
Arya
thank you so much!
so on the RHS we only have +ve terms :)
on the LHS we require 0
So X = Y = 0 the only way tah go

Trying something to do with statistics:

- 35 items (usable as much as possible)
- 11 items (all can only be used once)
How many possibilities can there be + how do you reach the possibilites?
I have done 35^50 but how would I add the other 11? 11!? C(22,11)?
casework?
1 of the 11 items and all the remaining 49 slots with 35 items
and so on yeah
yeah
no not like that
I mean the 11 items can be used whenever but only one of each
and the 35 whenever
no i get it
i’m saying consider casework where u include 1 of the 11 items
2 of the 11 items
3 of the 11 items

Heyo (I promise I've edited it so that there is little yapping now).
So, why can supremum of a set (the least upper bound) be infinity? That makes so little (intuitive, to me, at least) sense.
Also, how do you internalize proofs?
That makes so little (intuitive, to me, at least) sense.
what's your intuition about sups then ?
it's not forbidden to yap here
Well supremum should be a real number, in my head that is
you can leave your explanation about your 50 proofs in analysis class
cause it helps ppl who read you calibrate their answer
if anything that wasn't a yap at all
Well ty for being so kind first off, second, the sup - so, it should just be a real number. you know. Some number that no other number from the set can "overstep"
do we agree that the supremum of a real number set should be the "smallest upper bound" of that set
what should the sup of the set of all natural numbers be then
if it's supposed to be a real number
shouldnt exist 
when a set is not upper bounded
by definition
indeed
we let the supremum = infinity
+infty is just a way of saying DNE in this case yeah
we define it like this for not upper bounded sets
if you want to look at it another way
consider the augmented real set $\bar \bR$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
it's the set with real numbers
and we "add" infinity and -infinity as elements to it
in that case
the supremum of a real subset
should coincide with its supremum "in the augmented real set"
Does then sup of R* exist? As in, infinity is "a part of the set" and the supremum, but not the max? I might be yapping, so you don't need to answer, now I am just curious, I got the answer already.
(R* is what we use to say like real with +-inf)
I'll keep my notation just in case to avoid confusion
Nope, here it's real with +- inf, but our prof is weird as hell. Like we use log instead of ln and log10 as usual HS log.
$\sup_{\overline{\bR}}\overline{\bR}= \infty$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
kind of, yes

I just got no social understanding when it comes to online comunication yk
like me online and irl are two different entities
I mean yeah it depends on the place sure
i'm telling you how it is here
I mean it's baby analysis, it's a bit boring yeah, you're studying things you already saw in high school essentially (calculus), now with added formalism on top
Alright, since we're open - second part of my question anyone? :D
but like people have thought a long time about these things, in the 17th century newton and leibniz et al didn't give a damn about formalism, and then ppl in the 19th century found some really wacky examples that made them rethink what functions, limits, derivatives are
really bastardized history of early analysis here
Our prof. said something similar. He also pretty much ridiculed us that all this is 150+ years old, that only in the 3rd/4th semester do we start actually studying new stuff
yeah this is just background really
and HS is newton-leibniz'ing it essentially (depends where you are ig)
I mean in general you don't try to remember a proof 100%
like most of the time, there's one or two important tricks that are essential to the proof that you might want to commit to memory
i.e. for the product rule the adding and substracting f(a)g(a+h)
the rest is routine, mechanical
Yeeah, I guess. I just feel the need to complain about having it hard when I chose a difficult uni and classes.
and the big issue as a beginner is being familiar enough with the material to recognize what's routine and what's "trick"
same thing for stuff like rolle of bolzano weierstrass as you mentioned
but these are more big boy theorems compared to the derivative rules so it might be worth studying these more
and that's why going to classes is important
if the profs are worth their salt, they'll try to emphasize what's important from what's very routine
& if the profs suck, well you do you
I go to every single one, even to extra classes, I chose the "hardest"/toughest TA for seminars, but like the lectures are a one man show. dude just tries to impress us by using 6 boards for a single proof, then saying that the rest is "up to us to do".
To be fair to him, he usually suggests the main step, but says that it is just "primitive"
maybe there's also other lecturers if there's enough ppl at your uni
is your TA ok in this regard at least ?
like with the arithmetics stuff, he shows one proof and says that the rest is too similar to spend time on, but then goes and proves a "sidenote" for half an hour.
it's the same guy :d His classes (seminars) are packed
ah
because we all know that if you do not go to his seminars, you won't make it through. That is like the public secret.
He solves HIS problem sets there, which you can expect to see some variation of in the finals. And although he goes super fast, it it probably the best way to prepare for whats to come.
well maybe you can check other people's shows in secret if it doesn't conflict
I've gone to a few, but most of the other ones are too slow :D
yeah so you chose consciously it's not like you had no other choices got it
aight
The "success rate" or wtvr when he holds the class for the year? 50%. The others have at least 67+ (and I mean, the students there are literal geniuses, I've never felt more stupid than when I talk with my mates in class)
well he's not joking that's essentially the case for a first class, hopefully there's other ppl for other semesters
or maybe you'll get to like this guy who knows
Haha, that's the joke - there aren't. We are basically his "homeclass" for this series of classes. All continuations (unless you want to wait a year) are with him.
That would suck, reaaaally suck. I'd have to prolong my Bc. to 4 years instead of 3 just because of that
At least we don't pay for our unis. Must suck for americans to get into debt. I love academic stuff, but idk if I'd get into debt just to study.
yeah at least even an extra year doesn't cost you 2 legs and your soul if you ever have to do it
well anyway
you got other analysis questions or no ?
Yes, but I need to translate it for anyone to understand.
yeah I gtg so I guess we can wrap this up
it's in german I suppose ?
some german speaking ppl lurk around here you might get lucky
thanks, ybee
but yeah it's better manners to translate
Got it already, imma open a new one so that I get to the top. Bye bye, ty
aight see you around

S = ((1, 1, 1, 1, 0), (1, 1, −1, −1, −1), (2, 2, 0, 0, −1), (1, 1, 5, 5, 2), (1, −1, −1, 0, 0)) are vectors in R^5,
what's the best way to find basis of them? Like I know that I have to find which of them are linear independent, and I can put them in to a matrice and do gauss jordan elimination, but when I have a correct form, how do I determine which aren't linear independent and which are?
what was the result of your gauss jordan
1 0 1 3 0
0 1 1 -2 0
0 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
and columns are vectors
My guess is that 1,2,5 are linear independent, but I don't know
rank 3
yeah
oh the columns are vectors?
you can you use the matrix i think because it's clear columns 3 and 4 are linear combinations of columns 1 and 2. you can start by writing each vector as a linear combination of the canonical ones. then use the matrix to express those linear combinations of columns 3 and 4 in terms of the linear combinations of columns 1 and 2
absolute word salad but i'll try to think of a better way to express myself
or maybe it's the other way around. write the canonical bases in terms of the vectors in S.

Help solve this integral
By any chance could show me an example of using u-substitution
Bc
I was looking at examples
And I’m a little confused
About this part where du is introduced
i can walk you through it on this integral
Yes please 🙏
try u=1+x^2
then we differentiate to find du/dx
this is just like differentiating y=1+x^2
but we have u instead of y
it makes no difference
can you do this part?
Yes i can
ok let me know what you get
before that, let's do this
du/dx = 2x
multiply both sides by dx
this is strange but this is the u-sub method
So I would get du= 2x dx
another way is just solve for dx here
i recommend just solve for dx
dx=du/2x
now you can substitute
do you see where to substitute u?
Kind of
u=1+x^2
there's already 1+x^2 here
so remove it and replace it with u
so instead of 5x(1+x^2)^4 dx...
what will it look like?
5x(u)^4?
yes and the dx
5x(u)^4 dx
sorry i forgot to write it too
at first
now the dx is there and we know dx=du/(2x)
so you can remove dx and replace it with du/(2x)
what will that be?
5x(u)^4 . Du/2x
Axe
the x's will cancel
So then it’s du/2 and 5(u)^4
Axe
can you integrate this?
Ahhhso it’s (1+x^2)^5/2 +c
looks right
you're welcome
good job

Hi, I am new to this server. Do I ask questions for help on math problems in here?
So I need some help with calculus, but my question is a little different. I have two problems that look kinda similar, but the methods to solve them are a little different. I was already able to solve them, but I want someone to walk me through why the process is a little different.
Yes. Here. #❓how-to-get-help if you have questions about how to use the server
Cool cool, can you help me on this? This is calculus
So my question is this:
Why don't we plug in the times for t in the formula for the velocity directly in problem 155 like we did in problem 157? Like how come in 157 we can just plug in 0.5 and 5.75 directly into the derivative of the given formula, but we can't plug in 0 and 14 directly into the derivatives of the velocity formulas in problem 155?
Lemme pull up my work on both questions too
Why don't we plug in the times for t in the formula for the velocity directly in problem 155
You don't have the velocities yet. It's what you are trying to find.
But like in 157 we can just plug it in directly?
As I showed here?
Essentially the processes look different, but why?
Yeah idk if my question makes sense
(These answers are all right btw, I checked with the answer key)
Why don't we plug in the times for t in the formula for the velocity directly in problem 155 like we did in problem 157?
You can do it this way. It's how I would've done it. Let me see what you did
Did you not plug t directly into your velocity equation here?
Wait
Oh wait, the difference is t was already given in 157
But in 155 we have to find t first?
yup
Ooooh I see

So we're sort of finding different things here?
Like in 155 we have to find the timepoint, while in 157 we have to find the position when it's at a certain time point?
Wait, then what is s(t) in this case then?
In 155, you want to find the velocity at specific positions (when $s=0$ or $s=14$). However, you don't have an equation relating velocity and position (you $\textit{could}$ make one, but it would be messy). But you $\textit{do}$ have an equation for position and time, and then for velocity and time. So, knowing your positing, you determine the time, and then you can use that time to find the velocity at that time, which corresponds to the position where you want to know the velocity.
SWR
$s$ is your distance function.
SWR
Oooh I see
So pretty much, in 155 you're trying to find t, while in 157 you're trying to find s(t)?
in 155, you're trying to find t so you can use it in s'(t)
In 157, you're trying to find a lot of different things. It depends on which part a-f you are asking about specifically
Part a and b in particular
In Part a we're trying to find s(t)?
In part a, you simply want to find velocity at certain time, which is just calculating $\dot{s}(0.5)$ and $\dot{s}(5.75)$. In part b, you want the magnitude of the velocities.
SWR
$s'$ (or $\dot{s}$, as is common notation for time derivatives)
SWR
Sorry I mean comparing part a of 157 to 155
In 157, you want velocity at a specific time, in 155, you want velocity at a specific position
Since parts a and b of 155 are identical, just at different time points
Ooooh I see. Is that why we have to calculate t in 155, but not in 157?
Because in 157, it's already given as 0.5 and 5.75?
yes. $t$ is given in 157a, so there is no need to calculate for it.
SWR
I know this sounds kinda dumb, but is 155, parts a and b the same as 157, just with one extra step then?
basically
just the extra step of finding t first
Oooh I see, alright then. The concept and method should be identical though?
yes
Just derive if I want to find the velocity, plug it in, bada bing bada boom?
And velocity is just position', while acceleration is position'' ?
In both problems, you are given position $s$ as a function of time $t$: $s(t)$. You use differential calculus to find the velocity, which is the derivative of position with respect to time: $\dot{s}(t)$. This derivative calculation gives you a function which represents velocity $\dot{s}$ as a function of time $t$. In 157, you are asked to find $\dot{s}$ at $t=0.5$, so you simply calculate $\dot{s}(0,5)$. But in 155, you are asked to find velocity at a specific position. You do not have velocity as a function of position. So, to use your velocity function, you must first find the time that satisfies the position you are looking at.
SWR
And in order to find the velocity at a specific position in 155, you have to find t first, hence the extra step of finding t first?
Aaaaaah alright that makes sense
Ahh this is Calc 1, that's for another class later?
In general, $x(t)=\frac12at^2+v_0t+x_0$, and $v(t)=at+v_0$. We solve for $t$ in terms of $v$, giving us $t=\frac{v-v_0}a$. Plug that into $x$ to get
$$x(v)=\frac12\left(\frac{v-v_0}a\right)^2+v_0\frac{v-v_0}a+x_0$$
You now have $x$ as a function of $v$. To get $v$ as a function of $x$, you need to solve the above quadratic, where you get
$$v(x)=\frac{v_0\pm\sqrt{v_0^2-2ax_0}}2$$
SWR
It's just some algebra
For sure.
And for 157 c, d, e, and f, it's just formulas I have to memorize?
-b/2a, quadratics, all that fun jazz?
memorize, or learn to derive them yourself
For sure
Man it's been 7 years since I did calc
I'm just rusty and want to make sure I know my stuff
Finally, for b, literally the only difference between velocity and speed is speed is always positive, right?
So provided its the same times for both problems, the answer to b should always just be | a | in these types of problems?

hii im really new to linear algebra, and my teacher doesnt believe in posting the process only the answer, how would i proceed to find the answer from here?
what information do you need about a plane to construct its scalar equation?
wait i think i mightt have figured it out
