could someone explain with a? i'm completely lost
So what have you tried??
so ive gotten 0<2t <= pi
nothing else
What can be the maximum value of sin(x)
1?
Yes
but why does sin(x) matter here?
And when is that??
You need to maximize y=20sin(2t)
y is representing the height
And you need max height
Yeah but is it in your interval
so rearrange for t?
t = pi/2?
NO
t = (arcsin(1))/2 ?
And what is arcsin(1)
Yes and is that in your given interval??
yup
So there you have it
thanks for that
Yw
should i just close it?
Yes

I need to find for which x'es this is true, but I can't find any real number for which the condition is false.
What is this bracket
ceiling function
Oh
round up basically
There should be a method to prove that
that's what I'm finding too, but that would make the question really silly
Just to make sure, ceiling 2.1 gives 3 right?
Ceiling of a integer gives integer right?
yes
here are all my testcases
You wrote uneven instead of odd 🤔
lmao that's what happens when you translate directly from another language
but yes uneven is supposed to say odd
Also in case of even positive 2 cases will form
One where x is 4n and one where x is just 2n
Coz x being 4n will make it a integer and x being 2n will make LHS and RHS a fraction whose ceiling nonetheless matches the condition
in conclusion; works for all real numbers?
Can't be sure, I'm doing comprehensive reading atm
Yeah it works for all real nos
any idea how to prove it?
Yeah
You may try converting the ceiling function to fractional function
Like
Ceiling of x =x+ (1- {x})
Here you know the range of {x} is [0,1)
So that should make it easier I guess
Fractional part of x
hmm
I dunno how you symbolise that there

could someone walk me through this?
do you know what the rules for exponents are
and the rules for logarithms?
@waxen spruce
this seems like a see or no see question, wouldn't you say katharine
fuck off
rude
ha
says you
comes in here
while i'm trying to help chao
being a rude
@waxen spruce what rule are you confused about?
what you should think when you see that
take both sides to the power a
so
if you have
$\log_a(x) = \log_a(y)$
Katharine
$a^{\log_a(x)} = a^{\log_a(y)}$
Katharine
the exponent and the logarithm are inverse functions
this means they cancel
like add and subtract
ahh
and multiply and divide
I mean thats not really a log rule
Its just a function rule
$f(x)=f(y) \to x=y$
Assuming f(x) is just any function
PapaBread
lets go back to your question
what is the rule of multiplying numbers that have exponents?
so i got as far as getting ln(xy) = ln(5)
from the first equation
could i then just say xy = 5?
$e^{x}e^{y} = e^{5}$
Katharine
what we know is that when you multiply the e
it adds the exponents
do you remember that rule?
yeah
Katharine
ah so youd have ln(x + y) = ln(5)
you just have x + y = 5
true
because ln(e^x) = x
.
yeah
can you try simplifying the second equation?
Wait whyd you e^x it twice?
ln(2x + y) = ln(12)
Up here
so can i then just say 2x + y = 12?
exactly
and now you have 2 simple equations with 2 variables
that means you can find both x and y

How would I evaluate this on my calculator for cot^-1 (5.4) I plugged in 1/tan^-1 (5.4) into my calculator and got something else
Theophania
your calculator is probably in radian mode, you're dealing with degrees here
ye its in degree mode im getting something else

How do i do this? Like, i don't even know where to start with this one. I tried rationalizing the denominator but its not like that does anything useful for me.
is the ans 1 ??
just a guess if its crt I can explain the method
What's the -inf limit of (2-x)/(1-x)?

What is the value of w + x + y + z?
180 - 30
30 + (180 - z + y) + (180 - w + x) = 180
30 + 180 - z + y + 180 - w + x = 180
30 + 180 + 180 - z + y - w + x = 180
390 - z + y - w + x = 180
- z + y - w + x = 180 - 390
- z + y - w + x = -210
z + y - w + x = 210
w + x + y + z? z + y - w + x = 210
you messed up your signs near the start
30 + (180 - z + y) + (180 - w + x) = 180
@coral flame Has your question been resolved?
which ones?
this part
but why did you write
(180 - z + y)
specifically
because the line is 180 degrees, if we do z + y, and then minus the total from 180, we can get that 1 angle degree from the triangle
if that makes sense lol
(180 - z + y)
does NOT representz + ybeing subtracted from 180
will I have to do (180 - (z + x))??
ye
Oh so thats what I did wrong
and btw, when I remove the brackets, do I have to remove the brackets from (z + y) after that?
right?
well ig it will make sense...

I have to demonstrate this
How?
uk sum of ap formula ?
no
that's what they're trying to show, so they can't apply that directly
induction will work ?
Ye
depends on the course
or reduction to absurd
if you're required to do induction
alternatively you could derive it how it was originally derived
I just have to state if this is true or not and why
by considering pairs of values that will have the same sum
i.e. 1 with n
2 with n-1
etc
@young vale u need to say true or false or derive it ?
and the numbers of pairs there are
Wdym by derive it
Investigate and prove the following statements
I dont get u
1 + n = ?
Aha
n+1
n+1 yeah
so there are n terms
when u pair up number of terms = n/2
so u are adding n+1 n/2 terms
so we get n/2 x n+1
which is n(n+1)/2
Why hen pairing up number of terms = n/2
1+n = 2+(n-1) =.....
but where the /2 comes from
total terms are n right ?
Yeah
when u pair them up how much terms will be there ?
ya
to get same sum
^^
cool
So, 1+2+3+...+n = n(n+1)/2 is true because, knowing there are n terms, pairing them we will have n/2 terms, and knowing that 1+n = 2+(n-1) and so on, we get n/2*n+1
you can say it is true and
write the proof below it

5c pls
What would be the suitable percentile
maybe try to find the E(X)
What's that?

actually it dm, you should make a frequency diagram according to your results
then that will help you get your percentile

hey all, part A is 21,090$, but for part B im having trouble figuring out where id go from
this being the formula used to solve for A
2(cos(45))⁴ =1/2x3/5+1-2/2 cos=
@thin plover Has your question been resolved?
Use arithmetic sum to find out the value that's ≥ 27000
Don't use cos
I think he's asking a question
what does r stand for in the formula ? @vestal hinge
It's quite messy putting 12 into the formula I think
No
n is what you have to solve for
You know Sn, a, and r
so
Interest is 4.5% but that doesn't mean that you have 4.5% what you initially put in a monthl later. You have the initial money PLUS 4.5% of it so it's 100%+4.5%
Ergo r = 1.045
Don't use 12
Can you use the formula I sent you
Without using 12
Once you get n, just divide by 12 later
It's dumb to put in 12 into the equation
Also it's 27000 ≤ and not =, because you could end up with more (but you should never have less)
i.e. at least n/12 amount of years
Yes
27,000 ≤ (1 - 1.045^n) / 1- 1.045
what is A in the equation ?
LOL
27,000 ≤ 7350(1-1.045^n) / (1 - 1.045)
let me get a paper
id get 7350n ≤ 7350(1.045)^n/12
I ended up trying to use a log of base (1+ (.045/12)) on both sides and got 28.96832582... or ~29 years
what would the new equation be with An = A1(r)^n-1
27000 ≤ 7350(1.045)^(n-1)
No rounding
You ceil it
N is 30.5.... but the required months is ceiling of N
Which is 31
Not sure if you're supposed to divide N by 12 or ceiling of N by 12
Probably N by 12
Idk
Maybe ceil of n
Actually don't know
in conclusion fuck this class for not teaching me
id assume 12
i say 31 since
but im sure i wouldnt get points docked off for it

how to factor
$\frac{9^{\left(2n-1\right)}+9^{\left(2n+6\right)}}{9^{\left(2n-1\right)}+9^{\left(n+5\right)}}$
Tom Joney
No
Oh what's that
@patent kestrel Has your question been resolved?
The best I could do for the bottom is $9^{n-1}(9^n + 9^6)$
RESIDGE
I got $\frac{9^{n-1}(9^n)(1+9^7)}{9^{n-1}(9^n + 9^6)}$
RESIDGE
Hopefully it's right. Then I see that I can cancel 9^(n-1)
I think you can also factor out 9^n from the bottom and cancel again.
$\frac{1+9^7}{1+9^{6-n}}$

Could use some help here
I'm not sure how to proceed with this question.
Could I maybe find the first derivative of the function and insert 0 as x?
try minimizing the square of the distance
Alright
do you know calculus?
I do. (roughly 😅 )
Any chance you could explain how I should minimize the square of the distance?
Could I set the original equation =0?
.... calculus?
and then solve for x?
Math explained in easy language, plus puzzles, games, quizzes, worksheets and a forum. For K-12 kids, teachers and parents.
I am in a calculus 1 course but this is the first time i've heard that.
this is the best way i can think of
or.. do you know normals?
find the normal to this curve passing through the given point
I do not sadly.
the point of intersection of the normal with the curve is the point, the distance between it and the gievn point will be minimum
Do you mean finding where the slope is 0?
Maybe the terminology is different.
So would I accomplish that by taking the first derivative of the function and setting it =0 maybe?
@plain mica I'm still not sure what to do even after reading through the link you sent. Should I just ask someone else?
yes, if i havent been able to help

can anybody explain to me how ones brain can come up with this way of splitting this fraction? I realise I'm in advanced maths but im doing university late and am a bit rusty on basics like this and they sometimes trip me up ;p
i get that he is adding an s and subtracting an s but idk how that splits the fracction like that 😮
is it just partial fractions but written weirdly?
Skipping this step:
[(s + 1) - s] / s(s + 1)
= (s + 1)/s(s + 1) - s/s(s + 1)
As always, the denominator can distribute over the numerator.
Np, feel free to ask if you have anything else
Btw this is partial fractions, but without the algebra.
That is, they figured out the coefficients by messing with the fraction

Yeah, I get it, but now how to solve?
it feels like you have an idea of what to do, you just need to notate it properly
i.e. show that
a_1 + a_12 = a_5 + a_8
using the definition of (the nth term of) an arithmetic sequence
Clear. Now I will try again. I was confused precisely because of this property.

$f(x) = 1 + \frac{4}{(x-7)(x-3)}$
Guilhotina
when i have this, and has to integrate it, but the range of my domain is [7;10] how should i proceed?
I would use a substitution to make it simpler, u = x - 7, so x-3 = u+4, and du = dx.
Hello, you can use a limit: integral of f(x) from t to 10 where t approaches 7, so you can show that the integral approaches infinity
because i need to see what the function looks at the points of the domain, rght ?
i would resolve that by partial integration and then get a ln(x-7) where x approaches 7+
how do i found this limit? L'Hopital ?
i know it is $-\infty$
i know it is $-\infty$
a
Guilhotina
but how to prove it
is this right?
$lim_{x \to 0+}(lnx) = lim_{y \to - \infty}(ln(e^{y})) = -\infty$ where $e^{y} = x$ and $ln(x) = y$
?
Guilhotina
Mmm I think that should be enough if a proof is required. I mean, I think you can just assume that ln(0) approaches -infty from the right in this problem, but what you've done is correct :thumbsup_tone3:

Got some issue with this task need to find lim x-> 0 (1-root(x))/x
But that schoudlnt be possible as we cant divide by 0... and its not 0/0 so i cant use l‘hospital or am i mistaken?
So can i just say there is no limit ( if my conclusion is right ) or would i need to prove this somehow?
Thanks in advance
limit doesn't exist, correct

What's the difference between these two notations?
$x^{(i)}$ and $x_{i}$
THEBIGTHREE
Depends on the context, but in my experience $x^{(i)}$ is the iteration, like $x_{1}^{(1)}$ is first iteration of $x_{1}$, $x_{1}^{(2)}$ is second iteration, etc. And $x_{i}$ is the term you're at like $x_{1}$ is first term, $x_{2}$ is second term, etc

Can you guys give me a tip in dividing fractions. I am good at it but I would like to know about it more.
answer
Dividing with a fraction is really multiplying with the reciprocal
This is the ultimate tip
Yeah that’s all I do ^
ok thanks
In fact all division is really multiplying with the reciprocal
(1/3) / (4/5) just do (1/3) x (5/4)
This gets you from here to calculus and beyond
At least for dealing with fractions xD

I dont get why k*x^2 is removed for this induction problem? can someone teach me why
As in why you can remove kx^2 or why removing kx^2 is neeeded for the proof?
why you can remove kx^2
so first, k>=0 and x^2>=0 so kx^2>=0. Adding 1-(k+1)x to both sides of that, 1-(k+1)x+kx^2>=1-(k+1)x
So, we can rewrite the earlier inequality adding that in, $\(1-x)^{k+1}\geq 1-(k+1)x+kx^2\geq 1-(k+1)x$
Sneaky
which leads to whats written
@loud coyote Has your question been resolved?
ok so basically since kx^2 is positive
and because 1-(k+1)x+kx^2>=1-(k+1)x, the kx^2 can be removed because the statement still holds true yes

yes and no

The net force is just gonna be the sum of those vectors
you might have done some wrong arithmetic in the y coordinate? I only suggest that because you have the x coordinate of the net force correct so your method might be correct
ohh i see

How do you write a transformation of f(x) —> af(bx) with matrices or vectors?
As in f(x) goes to a * f(b * x)
Just generally
@proven anvil
R for both
Continuous
Yes
Of f(x)
So for translations you can write it T_v(f(x)) = f(x-a) + b for v= vector (a; b)
So the translation of f(x) by vector ab is f(x-a)+b
I guess that's what I'm looking for then
This is what my textbook says so I dunno
I know how matrices work yes
So something like [a 0]
0 b
You forgot the second $
It could be a vector I'm not even sure
Scaled by vector (a,b)?
That's confusing
I don't see how f(x) would really be a matrix
Although f(x) is technically an infinite set of vectors
Basically, the textbook says that you can translate f(x) by a vector, so I'm guessing scaling should work in a similar way
KurtDee
Not really...
So I don't really know if it would work as v(a, b)*f(x) or maybe instead of v a matrix
I should have formulated that better but I don't know how
Yep
Not an equation, a function
But yeah
So like every point of the function is moved by a vector ab
That's what they mean
KurtDee
Should we try first having vector ab * f(x) see if that works?
Lemme try plug that into wolfram alpha
Wolfram alpha dies
So f(x) becomes [f(x) x] (as a matrix)
?
Oh okay tnhat makes sense
-b or +b?
Cause it's f(x-a)+b
Normally
Me too lol
So a and b are the opposite from what I have? As in f(x-b)+a?
Fair
So I can write:
$$ for m = \begin{bmatrix}a \ b\end{bmatrix}: \T_m(f(x)) = \begin{bmatrix}f(x) + a \ x +b\end{bmatrix}$$
Etienne

Shit
For $$ m = \begin{bmatrix}a \ b\end{bmatrix}: \T_m(f(x)) = \begin{bmatrix}f(x) + a \ x +b\end{bmatrix}$$
Whatever, you get it
Perfect
Now, what about scaling?
Would $\begin{bmatrix}f(x) \ x\end{bmatrix} * \begin{bmatrix}a \ b\end{bmatrix} = 0 \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix}f(x) * a \ x *b\end{bmatrix}$
KurtDee
A is alpha beta right?
Yes, matrix [alpha]
beta
My bad
Identity but with alpha and beta isntead of 1s
From $\begin{bmatrix}\alpha f(x) \ \beta x\end{bmatrix}$ how do we get to af(bx) though?
Etienne
with $\chib = x, \begin{bmatrix}f(\chib)*a \ \chi\end{bmatrix}$ ?
Etienne
So can I write for example, $A \begin{bmatrix}f(x)\x\end{bmatrix} = f(bx)a$ ?
Etienne
If I write A before
@proven anvil
Hello
So how do I kinda convert it back to a function?
f(bx)a

Wait why 11, 12, 21, 22?
Wdym?
So alpha_1 or 2 or 3 or 4 also works
Okay
However, still don't get how we go back to af(bx) at the end
So we do this the other way, have A and then got to af(bx)?
Okay
👍
So, let A = [3 0]
0 2
We can just say that because of what we did above, g(x) = 3*f(2x) ?
But if I write what we did earlier is that insufficient?
Shit
Oh
But didn't we start off with A = alpha, 0; beta, 0 ?
Oh okay
So how do we do it without assuming a = alpha, 0; beta, 0
?
KurtDee
I'm not really familiar with matrice equations
I can solve a system of linear equations with matrices, which is pretty easy, but solving to get a matrix like this that I don't know how to do
@proven anvil

I should, but I may have cheated my way through high school
Yeah

So I'm a bit lost with some calculus again
In the following, we start with the gradient of some integral
$$\nabla \int P(\tau | \theta) R(\tau)$$
Then (I think?) because of the cyclic relationship between the derivative and integral, we're allowed to just move the gradient under the integral expression to it becomes
$$\int \nabla P(\tau | \theta) R(\tau)$$
But... isn't there an implicit parenthesis there? I mean, isn't it the gradient of the entire expression, not just the first factor?
It looks like they substitute $\nabla P(\tau|\theta)$ for its expansion and just leave $R(\tau)$ as is.
How does this work?
Amnesia
It might be worth mentioning btw that R(T) does not depend on the parameters, so its gradient is 0
I still feel like, if that's the reason, then it should cancel out completely, and not just be left as is

Find T if:
\
$a=\sqrt{8} + 2$
\
$b=\sqrt{8} - 2$
\
$T = a^2 - b^2$
slayer
In this question i tried to put each a and b in brackets and power them up to 2 to get this which i think is probably wrong:
that's one way to do it
$a^2= \sqrt{8}^2 + 2^2$
\
$b^2= \sqrt{8}^2 - 2^2$
slayer
@restive inlet is this right?
that however is wrong
Yeah i was quite sure something was wrong
classic freshman's dream
Oh and it tells me to give your final answer in c sqrt 2
recall the definition of exponentiation/distributive property and/or binomial theorem
where c is an jnteger
the what
what does it mean to square something
Multiply each other
poor wording
a x a = a^2
yes
well i never get asked to define it 😅
apply that here and expand (properly)
Oh expand

how do you find sine of any angle/radian?
Wdym
the values that are given are for 0,30,45,60,90 right, now how would you find the sine of 42 for example
without a calculator
convert to radians,
use power series to get a decent approximation
Taylor series 
idk what that means
ik how to convert to radians
but what is this power series
then
find the sine of 42 for example
without a calculator
is not something you should worry about atm
in my book they are talking something about angle to minutes and seconds but there is question with theta equal to 42 degrees
why are you trying to do this without a calculator
idk if they would allow calculator in tests/exams
ask them?
im a homeschooler...
ask through email
ok
or phone
but there is no way to calculate sine of any angle/radian without calculator?
most places allow approved calculators unless its jee
i mentioned what you could use earlier but its too advanced for you to apply atm
oh ok
so i use a calculator to find the sine in my question?

-3 (4-3x) =9 - 12
I think that has no solutions, But somebody said it has infinite solutions
Can someone double check?
you're both wrong
i think the answer is 1?
Are you sure this is typed correctly, because it has a solution
You mathed wrong
where'd the x disappear off to
Distribute, combine like terms, get x on one side and everything else on the other
-3(4-3(1)) = 9 - 12
-3(4-3) = 9 - 12
-3(1) = -3
-3 = -3
so ya x is 1?
So, Does it have infinite solutions or 1 solution or none?
It has a solution
1 solution
Its on paper, But i basically butchered it, i got 6=-13
Post a picture of it and we can tell you what went wrong
Ill draw it on note rq, I only have discord on a desktop
omg, before i post this, i see the mistakes lol, I messed this up in the worst way possible
I messed that up really hard lol
also this is different from the equation you initially gave
ya...
it is?
This is a different problem than what you gave before, which is why I asked if you typed it properly
That is a ss of it
ik, Im relearning this material, I got it all mixed up
-3 (4-3x) =9 - 12 is what you had originally sent
i forgot the X
infinite solutions?
anyway what were you trying to do with
-3(4-3x)
Doesn't help if you just give the person the answers
Was i suppose to multiply?
Actually check their work and see what went wrong @quartz shale
multiply / distribute properly yes
alternatively dividing both sides of the equation by -3 would also be acceptable
Let me redo this rq
Got 9x and -12 Which cancels the other 9x and -12
So it has infinite solutions
Ok
It is that
Yes
