Hey
How can you split the bottom expression?
what do 9x^2 and 12x have in common
That was a question to help jacks :)
No worries, happens
3x(3x-4)
?
Ah I got it
Thank you

Hi there, I'm trying to understand this proof of the law of itterated expectations (part of my statistics class). But I don't understand what is being done in the following step?
Could someone tell me what the first integral of the pdf and joint pdf gives? and then how the second integral gives the E(Y)?
Thank you!
Use fubini and Integrate dx first
Oh I think I get it. So I do a bit of rearranging to get the inner integral with respect to x and take the y outside.
Then the first integral will give me the pdf of y because we integrated out the x.
Then we are left with the integral of y and f(y) which is just the definition of the E(Y)
Is this right?
sounds right

not sure how to start
Hi! You can use Euler's formula for cos then Binomial Theorem then Euler formula again
is this precalc/trig class?
😵💫 inb4 this is 10th grade
im 17
idk what you get from that
but zamarus, i dont think thats the way
this is the full q
Start with
$\cos(3\theta) = \cos(2\theta + \theta) = \cos(2\theta)\cos(\theta) - \sin(2\theta)\sin(\theta)$
weird flex
riemann
then repeat for double angle formula for each cos and sine
it tells us what class it's for. there are more advanced techniques that can also prove your statement, but you haven't learned them yet.

how to calculate a unit vector that forms a 30º angle with vector a (1, sqrt 3)
i have no idea how to do this
Hold on
i literally dont undesrtand what to even do or where to start
I dont know what you mean by vector in this
SO what are you calculating?
?
What are you tryin to find?
i literally dont know how to find it thats the thing
do you know the formula for angle between 2 vectors?
a unit vector that forms a 30º angle with said vector
it starts with cos(theta)=...
its an equation system that i need but i dont know what to put in it you know?
i know the formula, i just don't know what to do
said a = (1, sqrt 3) then b = (b1, b2) and forms an angle of 30 degrees
???
what do you mean
i have no values of vector b
you're not helping
???
issue is i need the procedure to obtain (b1,b2)... that's why i said calculate...
yes, i know that. compute (1,sqrt3) . (b1,b2), algebraically
through a system of equations yes i already know that that's the first thing i said
where one equation is cos(theta) = b1 · sqrt3·b2 / 2
the other is what?
where do you get that other equation from
thats not how the dot product works
(x1,y1).(x2,y2) = x1x2+y1y2
the equation now youve edited is correct
what do you know about the magnitude of (b1,b2)
still got 2 unknown values, i need another equation to fill out the equation system
literally nothing
its a unit vector which means sqrt (b1^2, b2^2) = 1
yes
if i said it's a unit vector it's because i know what it means
i'm looking for the method to solve it
not for the basics
i literally dont know where to start, i have 2 unknown values which i require a system of equations for
you have your 2 equations now...
???
your two equations:
how am i going to find the value of either through that

I am struggling with some logarithmic differentiation over here. I need to find the derivative of y = cos(x^x). I have already taken the log of both sides of my equation, and got ln(cos(x^x)) on the right side.
Is there a way to expand this anymore, or no? (If not I am hella stuck)
My guess is that the intention is you use logarithmic differentiation to differentiate the x^x, then once you know that, chain rule?
can I do that separately first, then take the result and plop it back in (in place of x^x), then use the chain rule?
Yea that's perfectly fine to do, e.g. let y=cos(u), u = x^x then work with that
The latter is the one you'd use logarithmic differentiation on
okay sounds good. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help!
I'll try that here and see where it takes me
No worries, at least that's the way it would make sense to me 
okay, this feels promising.....but my brain has also turned to putty here recently lol
looks kinda, almost, sorta not trash?
agreed, buutttt, why this?
My personal advice is to have used u here rather than y...
Gotta write it in terms of x, just looking at my previous examples I have done, looks like we substitute y back in to write it as a function of x
As we already have another y somewhere else, and, if you write it as du/dx...
...all you have to do is put that here!
This is why I am thinking what I have is correct:
this is one of the solutions to past questions:
heres another one with the strange substitution:
so I am thinking this form is what they would be looking for
You're close, but at any point did you think of differentiating the cos?
oh balls
I think you are right
I am def missing something
I did differentiate it, but did nothing with it lol
Yep, think of the chain rule for that one 
okay, there we go, finished off the chain rule there and then substituted y back in
(also apologies for my absolute trash hand writing here lol, its been a day)
Don't think there should be a cos here...
Let me give you a hint: what is the derivative of x^x?
but for all the solutions, they are just plugging that starting equation y = (someStuff) back in, which is where that cos came from. That matches the idea for the other solutions too, no?
Yes, but, you should be doing that when it comes to differentiating x^x
That's why I said to use u here
according to what I have: y(ln x+1). But not a lot of confidence in that lol
okay, I think I am picking up what you are putting down
(+ here
)
Yea, that y is not the same as the original y 😉
oh ffs, I was not picking up what you were putting down. I am an idiot haha
Hahah I think this is a deliberate question to try and trip people up, to catch as many people out as possible(!)
Some will fail at the first hurdle, and others will make mistakes in chain rule/differentiating x^x
yeah I def agree. This one is very different from the examples that we were given
this has gotta be less trash than the last one, right?
There we go, that's the derivative of x^x here!
also again, thank you so much @upper schooner. I could kiss you right now haha
yeah my dumbass was totally looking at the wrong y
Awww, you're making me blush 
Yea, listen to my bars next time 😂
Here, take a cat pic as a token of my appreciation:
Yeah I gotta do a better job of reading lol
Awww I'm feeling sooo special right now 
Now, let's put it all together...
This should be the easy part!
Whattya mean? I thought that was put together. The circled part at the top should be the result of the chain rule, which used the logarithmic differentiation to get the derivative of x^x, no?
that is all put together isn't it?
For the derivative of x^x, but remember, that's not it...
Check your original q
And the mention of chain rule
Oh I've seen your answer nvm! Maybe I need to read 😂
oh ok, thank F. I was so confused for a sec there haha
Should teach me to read everything 🤦♀️
My emotions went all the way up, came all the way down, and then went all the way back up hahaha
Hahah that's my bad there, sorry about that! 
Could you find it in your heart to forgive me 💜
All good! Thanks again for all your help, you the real MVP!
Already forgiven and forgotten
Hahah no worries, it's all good 💜
My pleasure to be of assistance!
I'll let you go though, and open this channel back up for the next poor soul fighting math

(Calculus Question) If you are given a graph of a function, but no formula, how can you find the second derivative at a specified point?
For example, on this graph, my value at f(n) is 0, and the slope at f(n) appears to be 1. f(n) is not a local max or minimum, no concavity changes at f(n), but the function does cross the x axis at n
I dont believe we've studied this method so i dont think its the intended answer
can you show the original question

Can Someone Help with This?
Finding x?
Yes, But you also have to find the Derivative of the Question (y’ on the Table), and then Use that to make a Variation Table and find the Relative Extreme Values, Then You have to Graph It
Hello? @granite owl
Uh i didnt get derivative yet so srry
Oh, Okay, It’s Fine
<@&286206848099549185> Can You Help me With the Problem?
Come On, Someone, Please Help Me, <@&286206848099549185>
show your work so far
Well, I Have to Find the Derivative First, But I Can’t, Because I Would use the Power Rule, But everything is multiplied by 1/4, Which Makes it more Complicated
$\frac{d}{dx} [af(x)] = a\frac{d}{dx} f(x)$
riemann
here, a is a constant. like 2, 3.5, 99, 0.25
do you have a table like this in your book?
what examples have you done then?
All of Them, It’s Just That They Teach by Repetition and Expect you to Remember Everything, They don’t Teach it like a Regular Math Teacher Do
@supple knot And the Thing is, I am only in 8th Grade
So, It’s a Little Hard
i mean specifically what derivatives have you done before?
these are the most common derivative rules that's widely taught
i don't know what you want then. 2 and 3 here are the minimum you need to do your problem
if you haven't done them, read that link or just accept it as fact
Yeah, I Know
So, I have Done Derivatives with Algebraic, Trig, and Exponential Functions
@supple knot Is that Impressive for an 8th Grader?
i'm not here to judge impressive or not.
Wdyt?
then what's so hard about power rule?
It’s Not Hard, It’s Very Easy, Just That, What am I Supposed to do with the 1/4?
use 2. here
f(x) = stuff in parentheses
Oh, I See, Thanks a Lot Man
Okay, So Then how do I Create a Variation Table?
I actually Think, I Get It
Okay, Then

e^{2x}-\left(e\right)^x-72=0
didn't work
$e^{2x}-\left(e\right)^x-72=0$
Azo
oh
ty
So I have a question about this problem. I got as far as substituting e^x for u and getting 9 and -8
yup, then you have u=e^x so x=ln(u)
Before I substitute anything back, is -8 a problem? If so, why?
cannot take logs of negative number
That's the natural log right?
yeah
That's right! I knew I was forgetting something
ty
that make sense
I will have to look up natural logs again, but you're saying I can rewrite u=e^x as the natural log, where x=ln(u)
so, would the solution be x = ln(9) ?
yeah thats the only solution
How do we know that 9 is a solution again?
wdym?
I understand the relationship with u = e^x and x = ln(u)
oh
umm
I think I'm missing why we take the natural log
IIRC, for problems like this I would just sub what I got for u back into the original problem and go from there.
i mean, you could take the log of any number, could take log base 20 if you wanted and the answers would be numerically identical, its just when working with e, log base e (ln) gives the cleanest answers
ok
okay
So here's my thought. Why can't I just return the 9 back into the original equation and go from there?
I remember doing that in the past
you mean this?
Yes
so you mean to let x=9?
The solution isnt x=9
wouldn't 9 replace e^x ?
.
yes
oh?
sorry, you can do that to check but it doesnt give the solutions for x
you have to reverse your substitution to get your x
like here
Maybe that's what I'm misremembering
yeah, that only lets you check that you have solutions for e^x that satisfy the equation
yeah but you have to be mindful of when you get a solution like e^x=-8, as e^x>=0 for all x
gotcha
I wrote that down
I remember that now
In blue ink, this is where I left off.
yeah thats fine
just state that e^x>0 so people know why you excluded a solution, when you do a test they generally expect some kind of justification
yeah
I always try to explain my steps
but here I didn't really
There's usually more written words lol
anyway
what is step 8 here then?
there is none
just leave it like that
yeah yeah
My professor isn't gonna let us have a calc on the exam. So I hope that answer is fine.
yeah, it would be weird if they wanted a non-exact answer in this case
an exact answer is just one that hasn't been rounded right?
yeah
go for it
yeah 9 also works
so for the lhs,(1/81)^x, if I were to take the log of base 9 for this, how does that work again?>
Wrong picture ha
ooof
there we go
ok ok
so the first step was to take the log of base 9 of everything on the lhs and the rhs
yeah
next, you use some property of exponents to bring x to the front (I think this is also a property of logs?)
after seperating the LHS log yeah, its log(x^a)=alog(x)
which line?
ah, the -x becomes -2x because i treated the 81 as 9^2. the -log(243) i used a calculator, and on the RHS i just took out the power -(-3x-1)
the additional (-) flips the fraction inside the log
then its just using that log_a(a)=1
is there a way to get to line 4 without a calculator ?>
hm, i mean yes, everything except the exact value of the log243 is easy. log243=log9+log27 = log9+log3+log9 = 2log9+0.5log9 = 2+0.5 = 2.5
not too tricky
just requires a bit of seperating
ok ok
oh wait
I meant line 3
err
no no it was 4
yeah
cool
for line 3, did you use the power rule?
yeah
(1/81)^x=((81)^-1)^x=81^-x
5/2?
logs are only negative if the x in log(x) is less than 1
this
ooo
,w graph ln(x)
I guess I was confused cause you wrote - 5/2
ah thats just because its not log243 its -log243
( it was originally log(1/243)), i just skipped that step
but isn't 1/243 also 1/243 ^1?
wouldn't the same thing happen?
yeah? thats what did happen
1/243 = 243^-1
I'm brain farting
so +log(1/243)=-log(243)
oh! I figured it out. So it's technically -log(1/243) from the original problem
huh
on the LHS im pretty much using that log(a/b)= loga-logb which is from log(a/b)=loga+log(1/b)=loga-logb
a=(1/81)^x , b=243
why is b not 1 / 243?
Is treating 81 as 9^2 necessary?
if you didnt youd just get that log81=2 anyway
treating it as 9^2 just makes it simpler while youre keeping things as logs
since log9=1
doesnt particularly matter overall
I see I see
hey thank you very much
This was super helpful
no worries
are you a math major?
maths and physics yeah

Prove if x is rational and x-y is irrational then y is irrational
how do i go about making the proof for this?
contradiction
so if x is rational and x-y is irrational than y is irrational can be proven by contradiction
so the contrapositive would be if x is irrational and x-y is rational then y is rational
and if thats the case we could assume
z is an element of Q
x is an element of R
and y is an element of Q
that is not the contrapositive
the contrapositive is: if y is rational, then x is irrational or x-y is rational
i recommend just doing a proof by contradiction
so is what i said a contradiction? and should i solve it that way
assume, from here, that y is rational
why can’t the premises hold?
i never learned it that way
if you want to prove p implies q by contradiction, you assume p and the negation of q and derive a contradiction
that makes sense
what about if i were to do the problem if x eQ and x-y eR then y eR?
could i do
if x is irrational and xy is rational then y is irrational?
or is that a bad contrapositive again?
that is not a contrapositive
let’s call the original statement p implies q
the contrapositive would be: not q implies not p
you are trying to prove: not p implies not q
by the way, your antecedent is incorrect
you have not negated p correctly because the and would become an or
ok
i go figure got this right doing it this way, maybe i just got a pass cause the rest of my solution was pretty good
im glad i asked about this before jumping into it
ok so lets return to the main topic at hand
here
so what are your assumptions according to this?
by contradiction if x is rational and x-y is irrational then y is rational
there’s no implication
you have as true the statements p and not q
so you assume: x is rational, x-y is irrational, and y is rational
now use these to derive a contradiction
what does this mean?
you should assume p and not q rather than p implies not q
im confused its the same thing?
also the way my brain works we kind of have p f and q
where p is x is rational
f is x-y is irrational
and q is y is rational
assume x is rational, x-y is irrational and y is rational
and if thats the case we could assume
z is an element of Q
x is an element of R
and y is an element of Q
x-y=z
y=x-z
im getting stuck here
what is z?
put simply, this set of statements contains a self-contradiction because x and y being rational means that x-y must be rational too
yah i was re reading and seeing that
ohhh if x and y are both rational in assumptions
i could substitute x for y or y for x and show that rational =rational
so rational -rational cant be irrational
is that a good approach?
assume x is rational and y is rational than we can say because R = R that there exists solutions for x and y if they are both rational that x=y
so x-y=irrational
x-x is irrational
and 0 is not irrational
or y-y is irrational
and 0 is not irrational
is this right?
sorry dude don't have the energy to help you right now
tomorrow?
basically the argument is that y cannot be rational because if it were, then x-y would be too
just write x or y as a/b and c/d respectively
that makes sense
not at all
i was under the impression that you already knew how to show that the difference of two rational numbers was rational

My question is that why only value of x for which D = 0 are the values for which r=±1
Can't it be like For D>0 there exists some values of x for which r=±1 then we have to exclude that

You have a number than can be written as an integer/integer - a number that can't be written as an integer/integer
So x can be written as a/b where a and b are integers
(a/b) - irrational number
I'm thinking
Well I made the assumption that x and y were rational and showed that rational -rational = irrational is a contradiction
But that question I closed 🙂

In my example, 5x + 10, you stated that you can factor out a 5, what does it mean to factor out 5?
You can take 5 from both numbers?
So if you do that, what would the expression be?
X+2?
How do I write it
Here's my suggestion

👉Learn how to solve a quadratic equation by factoring out the GCF. When factoring out the GCF from an equation we will be looking for what the terms have in common. This method is very useful for quadratic equations that does not have the constant term. Once we have factored out what the terms have in common we will apply the zero product prop...

I have a quick question I'm right now doing geometry and it says that since we are splitting the segment into a ratio of 2:3 is becomes 5 but then when you turn it into a fraction is becomes 2/5 I'm confused because where did the 2 come from in 2/5
2 part out of the whole part
If I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, the ratio of dogs to cats is 2:3. But the ratio of dogs to animals is 2:5.
Imagine you and your friend are sharing pizza
Yeahh
You said you will take 3 slices and he said he will take 2
So the ratio is 3:2
Total slices are 5
But how much are you taking individually?
3 slices out of 5 ryt?
3/5

Oh so I'm guessing that 3:5 would also be 3/8
No worries you will get 1 slice only tho
Yep

Hello, i'm supposed to solve this problem using similarity but I can't find any
well ADC and ACB are similar for example
how can you know that?
they both have a 90° angle and they both have the same angle at A
so basically the angles are identical
yeah
you know how to proceed now?
no I managed to figure out the base length but not anything else
what did you get for the base length
how did you get that
well I took the larger side / smaller side on the similar triangles
and then I got to Y = 6
AD / AC = AC / AB
thats how you get AB
yeah that works too but she/he is supposed to use similarity
I don't understand how I can solve this
When like something is a scaled up or down version of something else
The ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal
Well you know that ACD and ABC are similar
but I should be able to take AB/AC
Well u will need to find CD using Pythagoras theorem I
I am supposed so solve this by using simularity only
Once u have CD, use similarity of ACD and ABC
Mm
Okay then still u can use similarity of the same triangles
Ig
am I able to use the bisector theorem here?
U can find AB right?
yes
Okay then use similarity of ACD and BCD
what? how can I do that
this is what I have so far
yeah 5 is right
just pythagoras theorem
I can't use that I need to solve this using similarity
I just got the ratio by dividing the large side over small side
I don't have the measurement for cb or the corresponding measure for cd
so can't use that
how
I have no idea how to do that could you explain how
Okay so using similarity of ACd and ABC, what can u write
ab/ac = ac/ad
but that just gets me the length of the base
Put in the values u already know
I already got the length
Yeah that's not all u can writr
ok what more can I do]
yes but I don't know either the big side or the small side
yeah I can do AB/AC = CB/CD
Gimme a min imma login with my computer
okay
what can u write using that
oh I didn't know they were similar aswell
do u see why they are
?
okay I got the length of cd aswell now but answer was still wrong
what did u get
what did u writehere
one of these must be CD ?
okay I realized I made a misscalculation
or
why
uhm no maybe not
okay mb it was because of my misscalculation I took 2cb instaed of CB^2
I got the answer now
ah

can someone explain the answer of this, i got 14.7cm but my answer in class is 14.14 which is correct apparently, i divided the radius so 5/2 and got 2.5, from there i just did the pythagoras theorem
,rotate
why are you dividing radius by 2
because the line points at all of the line
idk if it makes sense
but i thought the entire radius is 5
how do i know if it’s 5 for the entire radius or just that part is 5
do you know the definition of radius
no tbh
have you ever done anything with circles before
idk
do you know what a circle is
is this a joke
no
⭕️
if you don't understand a term, in this case radius
the first thing you should do is look it up instead of trying to go into the problem blind and make poor assumptions about it
are you going to explain what a radius is or just scold me for not knowing it
i'm scolding you for not looking it up
A radius is a straight line from the centre to the circumference of a circular or sphere.
i’ll write that down
yes, it can also refer to the distance of such a line
so a radius is from like the side of a circle to the center
line and/or its distance from the circumference of a circle to the centre
yes

do you calculate area by adding all the sides or multiplying the sides
for area you multiply the length and width.
A = L x W
Adding all the sides would be perimeter
P = 2(l) + 2(w)
Or
P = l + l + W + W
of course it somewhat depends on the shape you have
if it circle related then it's different

Hey
A and B are angles ?
Recognize that points on the same horizontal line segment will have the same y value and points on the same vertical line segment will have the same x value
yes but they are not horizontal to OX
you don't have enough information to solve for the coordinates of A and B here
are you sure?
if u have the length of the sides i think u can use the distance formula
Oh lol
I thought u just tilted it
you can calculate the middle of the segment made by C and D, and place a circle centered at the middle passing by C and D
(C and D are the points you know the coordinates of)
and then place A anywhere else on the circle, B will then be on the diametrically opposite point, and ABCD will always form a rectangle
yes but its rectangle you cant create a circle where A, B, C and D are on the circle
if i get your idea
well to be honest at first I wasn't sure if it the coordinates of 2 points was enough to determine the rectangle but it didn't feel like it was enough
so I tried to draw it out a bit
AC, DC - radius; we can find them easily, we know AD and then?
so i know all sides of the triangle ACD
and the coordinates A and C
how did I obtain this you mean?
Since the diagonals of a rectangle intersect in their middle, I first found the middle, then I knew that for any line passing by that middle, if I constructed two points on that line that are both a distance AC from the middle, I'll get a rectangle
i didnt get how to get D if we know every side of the Triangle ACD and we know the coordinates of A and C
what do you mean we know every side of the triangle ACD?
look we can find the length of AB and divide it by 2 so we get AC
Coordinates of C is just the center of AB
yes
in length, yes
- i know both sides of the reactangle
.
ohh
so i know what AD is

Hi, what does my teacher mean with R x R
It means both x and y are real numbers
Cant he just put a single R for that
R is the set of real numbers
RxR is the cartesian product of R with itself and contains of all tuples (x,y) with x,y real numbers
the set your teacher wrote down is a subset of RxR
because a singular R would not have 2 real numbers in the brackets and just 1?
So that (x,y) would be be a possibility in one of the tuples that RxR creates?

Limit -x+ln(2 ℯ^(x)+1)

prove it = ln(2)
[
\lim_{x \to \infty} -x + \ln(2e^{x}+1)
]?
♡LexQa♡
Yea
+inf
Yes
Well it's to positive infinity
So you can literally just use properties of infinite limits
And erase low order terms
Lemme type this out
K
$$\begin{align*}
\lim_{x\to\infty} (-x + \ln(2e^x+1)) &\equiv \lim_{x\to\infty} (-x + \ln(2e^x)) \
&= \lim_{x\to\infty} (-x + x + \ln(2)) \
&= \ln(2)

patiently waiting for lex's latex

Actually nvm I tried to do something but it didn't work out 


Lol
guess i'll type it up
I tried to say t = 2e^x +1
Ok
It does seem close tho
LOL, I swear I've done the same thing but it didn't work
unfortunately its a different trick for this one
Of course
Always down for more introspection from snow 
But why did not work🤔
Also I give up trying to copy your tricks, I will just rationalise them until doing them makes sense 
Let's see
too may brackets 
Oh actually that's not too snow-level crazy, phew
But yeah use that it is the proper way all in all
I just turned ooga booga mode and tried to think of something crazy


i think t = 2e^x + 1 might work but like all it does is transfer the log to the other term
It looks very simple now 
Yeah
Also it still goes to infinity yeah?
oh hm theres another way
I try with inf
And it didn't work
Yes I figured
OMG I JUST THOUGHT OF THAT TOO
LET'S GOO 😵💫
Okay I'm done feeling a bit happy about high school limits
xeus
When t =2e^x +1?
well it doesnt help
its not an incorrect substitution per se it just doesnt help you make progress
Oh ok
Yeah probably a good idea is to recognize when it is necessary to substitute to begin with
