you need to find for what s and t this is true
so just use vector operations
you'll get a system of two equations
which you can solve
ohh okay, i got it now thanks!

need some help with sqrts, my teacher didnt explain it well and i need to learn how to write radical expressions as a quotient without sqrts in the denominator, as well as rationalizing some stuff
Post the question you are stuck on and what you attempted
alr
so this first oe
one
i got a little bit into it this is just simplifying radicals assuming x > o
sqrtx^121
so i did sqrtx^120x
= sqrtx^120 sqrtx
but im lost as to what i do next
consider why you split your radical and expressed it as
$$\sqrt{x^{120}}\sqrt{x}$$
then apply the appropriate radical/exponent laws and simplify further
ℝamonov
so youd prime factor, right?
so itd be x^2^3 + 3 + 5
or really just x^2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 5
can you tell me what is the sqrt of a^b ?

what have you done so far
tried to make some equations
show us them
$3C-2$ reads as "(three times claire's age) two years ago"
illuminator3
Thats not what question says
the text says "three times (claire's age two years ago)"
2 years ago, P = 3C
4 years ago, P = 4C
no
Theoretically yes but more like $P_{{2 years ago}}$ and $C_{{2 years ago}}$
hmm
.
you have to put parenthesis
By what you wrote you just cancel from both sides and get
P = 3C
P = 4C
Only solution for this is P = 0 , C = 0
illuminator3
you have to figure out the second one on your own
no
pete was four times as old as claire
not the other way around
c= 8
I mean that is what he wrote
p = 20
what he wrote is claire was four times as old as pete?
No
Almost

you forgot an equation
which one
"an equal number of boys and girls passed the test"
my bad
bruh
I swear my brain is just not working properly right now lmao
how should I work this problem?
The number of boys who passed can't be a fraction. Can't have a half-boy pass
So the number of boys has to be a multiple of 3.
yes
ok
and number of girls has to be a multible of 4
?
so multiple of 3 and 4
12
WOAH
so its 24
bruh
I forgot
about the multiples

can someone explain why this isnt correct?
oh wait
Wait did you forget an n
no I think I just screwed up negative signs
Ah
this is what it looks in geometric form
oh I pulled the 3 out of no where
Well
Because it’s not -1 but (-1)^n
Hold on
You don’t have ^n
i also cant pull out 2/3 right
And it’s 1 above not -1
This isn't right I don't think
I turned the -1 into -3+2
$\frac{1}{1-(-\frac{2(x-2)}{3})}$
Cogwheels of the mind
$=\sum_{k=0}^{infinity}(-\frac{2(x-2)}{3})^{k}$
Cogwheels of the mind
So it’s not -1 but (-1)^n
thats what I did
if I divide by -3 wouldnt I get -1 on the top
it should be -3-(-2x+2)
it would be 3/-3-(-2x-2)
this is correct tho right
You simply replace x with x-2+2 at the beginning
Correct but doesn’t make sense
how would you do it? I was just taught to do it this way
I told you
This
2x-1=2((x-2)+2)-1=2(x-2)+3
so then I get 1/1-[(-2(x-2))/3] right
Yeah
can you explain why this doesnt make sense?

So, I have a question that is to find the score pivot for a students t distribution
the whole problem:
During a spectacular thunderstorm, the distance from a given flagpole to 15 lightning strikes is measured. Statistics $\overline{X},s$ are computed, and the sample is found to be approximately normal. The unknown parameter in question is $\mu$.
jan Niku (Shuri for Honorable)
State the appropriate pivot with it's distribution, to find a score interval for unknown parameter
So clearly this is student t
can we just use that $s \to \sigma$ along $n$ or something?

having troubles understanding how am I going to do this with the sum formula
arithmetic i believe
yes
what is the formula for sum of an arithmetic sequence $\sum_{i=0}^n a_i$ where $a_i = a_{i-1}+d$
Invictus
that looks like recursive formula
would it be sum arithmetic sequence formula
Invictus
you're got a_0 already, now figure a_n.
so ther is 2 step to solving this?
this is my first time doing it kinda confused
How do you figure a_n?
um........
so the question says that there are 22 terms
the first term is 6 and the common difference is -5
how do we get to term 22 from term 1?
we subtract 5 21 times
so the last term is 6 - 5 * 21 = -99
great

Im trying to get a formula to add an increasing number to itself over steps. So 10, then 10+10, then 10+10+10 for any number of steps. I'm pretty sure this is possible I just can't figure out the formula
Also obviously not just for 10
what have you tried
Google searching honestly? Math isn't my forte I mostly just need it for a program im working on
Everything I try to find though results in either adding increasing sequential numbers or excel stuff
Multiplication right?
yep
Am I stupid what did I miss I thought I thought about that
So like... for 10 steps using 25
How would I multiply that?
Yeah but the thing is it's increasing
indeed it is

so you have the expression 3(5+75)/3 + 45x+20=10
and you want to find out what 'x' is right?
all good, what you need to do is simplify the expression down
No, u need to distribute
No need to factor in this case right now because u are simplifying some whole numbers
just to be clear, you have $\frac{3(5+75)}{3}+45x+20=10$?

Hi, i just wanted to double-check
This proof uses additive notation : https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2182688
Why not use composition of functions as the operation in the group?
<@&286206848099549185>
in that particular example, homomorphisms don't have inverses in general
oh wait
that might make sense
since |G| != |H|, there's no bijection --> inverse operation may not be well-defined?
there's also no identity if G and H are distinct, and G isn't embedded in H
even if G and H are the same, there are homomophisms that are not invertible, for example the trivial homomorphism that maps all elements of G to the identity element of H
Ah ok ,that makes sense
on the other hand if S is any set then the collection of all bijections of S to itself forms a group under function composition
(the symmetric group on S)

Do you understand why?
no not really
do i need to take extreme values of sinx and cosx?
sin and cosine are bounded below by -1 and above by 1
nvm ill let you explain
yep
Agreed?
yes
sin^2(x)cos^2(x) is bound in (0, 1/4)
when sinx equals 1, cosx will be zero so their product will be zero
in that case
Yes agreed
I see my error
use this indentity to generalise f(x) , sin^2(x)cos^2(x) = sin^2(2x)/4
sin^2 x(1 - sin^2 x)
-(sin^2 x - 1/2)^2 - 1/4
never knew this indentity
sin2x = 2sinx*cosx, square this one and you will get that
i didnt know this either lol
anyways i got $\frac{\sin^{2}{2x}}{2(2 - \sin^{2}{2x})} - 1$
kinglacto
so i think our problem comes down to solving the range of $\frac{\sin^{2}{2x}}{2 - \sin^{2}{2x}}$
kinglacto
no
no
welp
is this correct atleast?
no that's not correct f(x) =$\frac{3\sin^{2}{2x}-4}{4 - 2\sin^{2}{2x}}$
Anonymous67
hmm ok ill redo the working
but, to not waste your time, how would i proceed after this?
assume sin^2(2x) to be t and write an equation for t in terms of f(x), and it will be an inequality problem as 0<=t<=1
ive solved such inequalities but completely forgotten- hold on -
no wait
im confused on how to solve the ineqaulity
so $\frac{3t - 4}{4 - 2t}$ where $t \in [0, 1]$
kinglacto
yes then rearrange it
for ex., y = x+4 => x= y-4
so that you get an equation like t= ...
ohh so y here is f(x)?
yes.
$t = \frac{4 + 4 × f(x)}{3 + 2 × f(x)}$
this is wrong..
kinglacto
yeah thats right, now apply 0<=t<=1
do you know how to solve these inequalities ?
i am not sure I really understood this
remember what we supposed t to be
i got [-1, -1/2]
i think my working isnt the most efficient tho
how would you have solved it?
i first proved that 3 + 2f(x) is always positive
then cross multiplied across
to get $0 ≤ 4 + 4 × f(x) ≤ 3 + 2 × f(x)$
kinglacto
and split it and solved
anyway to avoid this?
yes i re-did it and got this
take 2 cases first would be t >=0, $\frac{4 + 4 × f(x)}{3 + 2 × f(x)}\geq{0}$
Anonymous67
isnt it always greater than or equal to 0?
ohh wait this proves that the denominator should always always be +ve
and a fraction $\frac{x}{y}$ is greater than or equal to 0 if both denominator and nominator are postive or if both are negative.
Anonymous67
yeah and if they are both negative, the -1 factor cancels out?
yes.
and so it reduces to this?
no, it will reduce to ${4 + 4 × f(x)}\geq0$ and ${3 + 2 × f(x)}\geq0$
Anonymous67
so f(x) ≥ -1 from the first
and f(x) ≥ -1/2?
that doesnt sound right
ik for a fact that the answer is [-1, -1/2] since thats the TB answer
yeah then take those values of f(x) which satisfy both equations.
f(x) ≥ -1/2?
yes it would have been if you calculated second part correctly. f(x)>= -2/3
holy shit yeah -
so f(x) ≥ -1
now we consider the case where both are negative?
hmm wait no
so we got lower bound
no, f(x)>=-2/3

ig it means that this eq holds for all x values
prolly we need to equate the constant term n the coefficients of the terms with variables to 0
hmm yeah that makes sense
cuz if we assume this has a solution then this eq should hold for all x values
and there exists no such common value

how to calculate this ?
Can you see why [ \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \binom{n}{2k}\
= \sum_{k = 0}^{n} \binom{n-1}{k} ]?
Vigne
If so, this is a well known result, and so I'll leave it to you like this.
i cant see it
Imagine a row in Pascal's triangle.
You know that each term in a row is produced by summing the two terms above it in the previous row.
Now think about every second term in the n-th row, and the two terms in the (n-1)-th row that sum to it.
If you do this for every other term in the n-th row, you should be able to see that it covers all the terms in the (n-1)-th row.
A visualization might help.
Thus, the sum of every other term in the n-th row is equal to the sum of the (n-1)-th row.

The slope of a line is y/x where (x, y) is any point on the line
THIS QUESTION IS APART OF A PREVIOJS ONE I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE
I see
The equation for L is 5+y-2x=0
You can solve j and l for x and y. These x and y values represent the point where the lines intersect
You will end up with 2 points through witch the line l passes
Then you just find the equation for l
Ok what?
Solve j and l for x and y

hello
I believe 15 is 1
though this more specullaton
and i think it will be the same for 16
but if someone could explain why or why not
If Z = {E} I think they are d-separated
@mortal wolf Has your question been resolved?
I'm gonna be honest
I'm not sure what Z i
is
for 16
A is blocked
so that blocks one
and then C to be then blocked at E

the answer to the problem was place #(100/e)

Need help with a convergence problem. Not sure where to start other than comparison test
Believe I need to isolate highest terms?
do you know if it converges or not?
No, trying to figure that out
it looks kinda like a harmonic series based on its highest terms so i assume it diverges
but i could be wrong, thats justa guess
How do I go about?
i think comparison test is a good approach
It looks like it fits but Im not sure how to start
I think 5n^2 / 7n^3 but doesn't seem correct
lemme think about it for a bit
5 / 7n because the n's cancel out?
ok i got it
it def diverges
and you can show it throught he limit comparison test
with the harmonic sequence $1/n$ as your test sequence
llspacebarll
you compute $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{5n^3+n^2}{7n^3+20}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{5+\frac{1}{n}}{7+\frac{20}{n^3}}=\frac{5}{7}$
llspacebarll
and since 5/7 is positive finite the LCT tells us that our series has the same convergence as the harmonic series
which is divergent
Your powers are off
nope
yeah
yeah
Thanks
Alternating series?
Or not, because everything is positive
Ill start a new inquiry.

Can someone help me get started on how to evaluate this limit?
surely you can simplify it a little bit
I can? Sorry, I'm very unfamiliar with factorials 😓
Write n! = n(n-1)(n-2)...1, and similarly for (2n)!. Then simplify
Does the square on n! not make it so I can't cancel anything?
$\frac{((n)(n-1)(n-2)....(1))^2}{((2n)(2n-2)(2n-4)*...(2))}$
Ugu'yaränikeri'u
I don't see any simplification possible there...Am I dumb?
Try dividing the denominator by 2
OH
It seems like it, since I've simplified it to 2n! now
,w (10!)^2 and 20!

Did I simplify wrong? Yo, I suck at this
u will get (1/2)*(n!)
if u multiply by (1/2) to nullify the multiplication by 2
,w limit of (n!)^2/(2n)! n to infinity
Oh derp
I see my mistake
I multiplied by 2/2
And then didn't cancel the 2 lmfao

I have a silly question 
Find the first 3 terms in the maclaurin expansion of $\frac{\cos z }{ 1-z}$
jan Niku (Shuri for Honorable)
so i have an incredibly strong feeling this is wrong but
cant i just multiply the two series
as long as i restrict the domain
like it should just be
$\sum z^n \sum \frac{ (-1)^n z^{2n} }{ (2n) ! }$
jan Niku (Shuri for Honorable)
well you have to make sure you multiply the polynomials correctly
for example
$(x + x^2 + x^3)(x + 2x^2 + 3x^3)$
Brontochad (CV for honorable)
would be
like the coefficient of x^3 would have multiple combinations
e.g. 2x^2 and x
x and x^2
i mean
why wouldnt it
finnite number (convergent series) times another cnovergent series would just be convergent
im a crazy or does it click forward in powers of 3n on z
im pretty sure the first 3 terms should have a z in it
this is what i was saying about the polynomial multiply thing
you have to write (part) of the series out
and then make sure that you are doing all the combinations to get all the coefficients
but we will certainly get a power of 1
in that method
where the series will not produce this
wdym
👀
the expansion should have a z^1 term
the product of the series does not have a z^1 term
$(1 + z + z^2 + \dots)(1 - \frac{z^2}{2!} + \frac{z^4}{4!} + \dots)$
sure
Brontochad (CV for honorable)
wait
did you think you could just remove the second series symbol
(if so, you cant)
$\sum a_n \sum b_n \neq \sum a_nb_n$
Brontochad (CV for honorable)
cuz that's not how series works
oh, yea i didnt think was true but then my professor said something like this in class
i was like this makes no sense
therse a bunch of theorem
this is why you need to multiply terms

Hey, I have a small question; if two balls are thrown, how do I find the minimum speed at which the first ball must be thrown so that it collides with the second ball before hitting the ground?
Ball A: Dropped from 10m
Ball B: Thrown upwards from 2m
What I have is that acceleration for both is $-g = -9.81 ms^{-2}$, and thus getting the integral of ball A and B for velocity, we get
$\overrightarrow{v_{A}} = -gt + V_{0} = -gt$ because $V_{0} = 0$ for A
$\overrightarrow{v_{B}} = -gt + V_{0}$, and we don't know $V_{0}$ for B.
Thus, for displacement,
$\overrightarrow{x_{A}} = -\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} + 10$ and
$\overrightarrow{x_{B}} = -\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} + V_{0}t + 2$
Setting the displacements equal to each other, I get $V_{0_{B}} = \frac{8}{t}$, but I have no clue where to go from there.
beanbeanjuice
Do I do; $v = -gt + V_{0} = -gt + \frac{8}{t}$?
beanbeanjuice
however, it's difficult, because I can't solve that because I don't have time

You are working out the width of the garden and the borders
Which includes the green bit
On both the left and right side of the garden, there is a 2m border
So 4m additional to w in the width = (w+4)
Height has 1m up and down, (h+2)
Area = bh = (w+4)(h+2)
wouldnt for width itd just be 2 and for h itd be 4?
No, you have to account for each side
uhj
hold on
wouldnt width be
the top and the bottom
and h would be left and right side?
No
its labled as that in the picture
Starting from the left of the image, you go 2 meters across, then w metres, then another 2
So the width is w+4

Hello
When setting up the integral for the surface area of a revolution your variables must be in terms of the axis of rotation
For example, to revolve around the x-axis you must be in terms of x.
However for a specific homework problem I am asked to setup the integral for both the x and the y axis. Yet for the box where you would enter the equation for the x-axis, there is a dy at the end, implying that it should be in terms of y. Furthermore, solving for y and getting the equation in terms of x seems impossible with the equation given.
Perhaps I am just misunderstanding something
@ancient ivy Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
@ancient ivy Has your question been resolved?
It's not really true that when you are doing a revolution around an axis, the integral that evaluates the volume/surface of the solid created has to be in terms of that axis
for example, when evaluating the volume of a curve f(x) from x=0 to say, x=4 around the y-axis, the integral does not have to be in terms of y
it can be in terms of x too, and this integral can be gained through what is know as the shell's method
the shell's method exists because of those naughty curves that cant be isolated in terms of y
and similarly for surface of solids
but a bit easier to remember
im not sure if you are familiar with these integrals, but the surface area of a solid when revolving a curve around the x-axis can be evaluate as the integral of 2pi * yds
and ds is different depending on what is given
ds=sqrt(1+y')dx if y is given in terms of x, the bounds of integration is also in terms of x of course
and ds=sqrt(1+x')dy if x is given in terms of y, same is said about the bounds of integration

@normal marsh Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
what'd you try to do?
I wrote out the general form of a polynomial and tried substituting the conjugate to no avail
so you used binomial theorem etc.
so you have $$a_0 + a_1\overline{z_1} + ... + a_n\overline{z_n} = \overline{a_0 + a_1z_1 + ... + a_nz^n}$$
ohNoiAmHere
im thinking gimme a sec
so far what ive tried is mimicking the proof of the conjugate root thm
ah i see
$$\overline{z+w} = \overline{z} + \overline{w}$$
ohNoiAmHere
by definition of complex conjugation
you can just apply that n times
also, proving this isnt that hard
let z = a + bi, w = c + di -> conjugate(z + w) = (a+c) - (b+d)i, conjugate(z) + conjugate(w) = a - bi + c - di = (a+c) - (b+d)i
