dx is an infitessimally small change in x
integration adds up
all these changes
to make something that isnt infitessimally small
oooooooooooooo
its like, imagine if you walked from your house to the supermarket
and i broke down the distance you covered
into infinititly small distances
well when i add them all up
itll just give me the distance from your house to the supermarket
in the case of just
$\int_a^b dx$
doctor99268
you literally are just going from a to b
so the total change in x
is just b - a
b is your supermarket
a is your house
dx is the small bit of distance that you walked
this is making an incredible amount of sense, i feel like I understand integrals so much better than before lol
now if we want to use integration to find things
lets say
i wanted to use integration to find the area under the graph of f(x)
i know you know it
but imagine you didnt know
you would first just write out what small thing you are looking for
in this case it would just be dA, small bit of area
now
at these small distances, there is no complexity
you can just treat the bit of area as a normal shape
either a square or a rectangle
in this case, you can do a rectangle, since the vertical length is already given
well obv the actual rectangle would be much much much much thinner than this
the height of the rectangle is f(x)
the base of the rectangle is dx
and so dA = f(x) times dx
remember that we want to sum up all these dA
from a certain reigion
x = a to x = b
like how we summed up the distance you walked from your house to your supermarket
so we do $\int_C dA = \int_b^a f(x)dx$
doctor99268
the C just means
the reigion you want
youll see this alot in maths
its just me saying that this isnt an indefinite integral
there are reigions
i just havent specifyed it yet
@idle tinsel have i lost you?
well you dont need to use C
you can use any letter
just as a single underscore
sorry, i am getting help with two questions at the same time lol
lmao
ok this is making sense
@idle tinsel now
I will walk you into something more complex
Let's say i wanted the length of a curve
Firstly i define what teeny bit i want to sum up
I will call this ds
Then. In the case of a curve
A teeny bit of it
Is just gonna be a straight line
The straight line has length of ds
You can express this
Interms of things we do know
Like dx and dy
We can use Pythagoras
So ds² = dx² + dy²
So ds = √(dx² + dy²)
.
Now to actually
Get it into a usable form
Cuz you can't really integrate that atleast not the way it looks.
You can write dx² + dy² as (1 + (dy/dx)²)dx²
So √(dx² + dy²) becomes √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx
$\int_a^b \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2 } dx$
doctor99268
So if i had the curve of x²
And i wanted to find the length of it
From x = 0 to x = 2
I would do
$\int_0^2 \sqrt{1 + (2x)^2 } dx$
doctor99268
$\int_0^2 x^2 dx$ would not work?
Now this isn't about you knowing how to find the arc length of a curve
Price
ooo
You can look at the units
Since dx is being multiplied
This means that your unit is increasing
As in
If y is in distance, and so is dx
Then
ydx will give you units of area
Because distance times distance
differentiation does the opposite
dy/dx would have no units
distance divided by distance
In here
The dy/dx cancels out. So √( 1 + (dy/dx)²) has no units
There is only just dx
So the output will have units of distance
Integration literally just smallifies things you already know
Integration of area comes from the area of a rectangle
Integration of length comes from the Pythagoras theorem
Integration of volume of revolution (where you like rotate your curve around an axis) comes from the volume of a cylinder
You just say, what do i want (length), what is the small version of it gonna look like (straight line), how can i express this interms of what i do know (straight line has length of √(dy² + dx²), then you do the actual integration.
What do i want, area, what is the small version of it gonna look like, a rectangle, what is the area of this rectangle, just f(x)dx.
what if we wanted to integrate whatever is after volume in the 4th dimension?
Well this goes onto multivariable calculus.
ah
Where we deal with integrating 2 or more letters at the same time
Like integral of f(x,y)dxdy
But other than that, nothing changes
It's not like maths knows that we can't see the 4th dimension
you guys are still going xD
Like how some of those questions turn into a tea party
i think you could be a professor of mathematics irl if you are not already, if that is a field you're interested in lol
This is just the fundamentals of calculus.
When i was at school
Very few people knew it
So when a question came up
It was a trick question
As in it was a really really simple integration question
But worded in a way that
People would be confused
If they didn't know what integration was actually doing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsQQvHm4lSw
i am going to watch this tomorrow
This video makes an attempt to teach the fundamentals of calculus 1 such as limits, derivatives, and integration. It explains how to evaluate a function using limits, how to find the slope of the tangent line using derivatives and the limit definition of a derivative as well as to perform basic integration techniques to calculate the area under...
maybe it will help with fundamentals

Can be both
If we see sqrt(2x) as sqrt(2)×sqrt(x), it's vertical stretch by sqrt 2
If we see it as in terms of x, it's horizontal compression

I’m having trouble concluding this issue
I need to use simple numerical substitutions to show or not show that the harmonic mean is always the reciprocal of the arithmetic
I used the formulas for both
Using the numbers 3/4/5
For some reason it’s not the reciprocal
I thought so
So when I sub then in I get not the reciprocal
Cause the arithmetic mean is 4
Which is definitely not the reciprocal of the hm
Or am I missing something simple
Or the values that go into are the reciprocal
so you showed by example that they are not reciprocals of each other. So what's the problem? That's exactly what you were supposed to show
Well I just thought the harmonic is the reciprocal of the arithmetic
well you thought wrong. which the example shows
Alrighty just read a couple of places it is
Which is why it made me scratch my head
Ah well
Thanks
the reciprocal of the hm is the am of the reciprocals of the numbers
Yeah must of read it wrong
Thank you 🙏
And the negative of this statement would be the harmonic mean is never the reciprocal
Which is true
Oh right
the negation of an "always" statement is "there exists at least one exception"
well you gave one
Ohhhh I see
maybe I should have said counterexample instead of exception

for part a
do you have to use this similar shapes method
not really familiar w that so would prefer another way lol
I don't think there is a way avoiding similarity of shapes
rip
how would u know to do that lol
is it just because they gave those two lengths at the start
idk on a level papers ive never seen it
Well you need to get an expression for each of the circles and you are supposed to notice that its dimensions have same ratios to the base circle

i need help
Let's call the amount of job to be done J (pretty ambiguous, but it's fine)
Then clearly in a day Martin does J/N of the work where as John does J/(N + 2), right?
ok
So, if they worked together, they would do J/N + J/(N + 2) of job
And it's given that this number is also equal to 6J/(N + 6)
So we just solve for N in J/N + J/(N + 2) = 6J/(N + 6)

NOTE do not tell me the answer, just tell me how to solve
These similar triangles are drawn to scale. Find the missing side lengths.
Of course no one will say just the answer, it's not helpful at all.
@vale merlin Has your question been resolved?
I think you missed an image or something
Okay, how can we find AC?
sides, angles of similar triangles are in proportion
ie AB/DF = AC/DE
angle ACB = angle DEF
It's a right triangle, what theorem can you use to find the missing side of a right triangle?

How do u go about computing [
\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \abs{\pi - \abs x} \dd x
]
graph it probably
Break the interval up, no?
Actually wait you don't really have to
Just use the symmetry
graphing seems liek the best
ye
yeah
Symmetrical over the y axis
Why am I the only one not wanting to graph that
idk why they included the outermost set of abs bars, they're useless
maybe to stop you from splitting the integral up
No I even realized you don't need to split it up
bars
Oh yeah @arctic field is dead scared of vertical lines

||||||||||||||||||||||||
Just do $\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\abs{\pi-\abs{x}}\dd{x}=2\int_0^{\pi}\abs{\pi-x}\dd{x}=2\int_0^{\pi}(\pi - x)\dd{x}$
Yeah sorry sorry sensitive topic ikik

$\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\abs{\pi-\abs{x}}\dd{x}=2\int_0^{\pi}\abs{\pi-x}\dd{x}=2\int_0^{\pi}(\pi - x)\dd{x} = \int_0^{\pi}2x\dd{x} = \pi^2$
no

If you come up with something new, sure
just integrate (pi - x) 
Why if you can use King's rule
its an easy integral

,w integral from -pi to pi of |pi - |x||

,w g
What? Why is wolfram approximating an integer

,w 10
[
g = \pi^2 = 10
]

sin(x)=x, sin(pi)=0=pi, pi^2=0^2, pi^2=0
x is the linear approximation of sin(x) around 0
,w plot sin x and x
,w sin(0.01)
oh 
I use it to solve most limits, sin(x)=x, cos(x)=1, ln(x)=x-1, x is tangent to sin(x) at 0
thats just taylor with more steps 
simple pendulum moment
Yeah I was gonna mention this approximation is used in the pendulum's diff eq
Because its solution is non-elementary
bro ?
it doesn't depend on angle trust me
Don't take this channel seriously
take this channel very seriously 
don't set theta to 179 degrees just trust me
Trust me the solution is a sinusoid
pendulum = simple harmonic oscillator or smth
sorry i am an engineer, forgot to introduce myself
Hello an engineer
Hopefully that's sarcasm
no i am a very very serious person.
people were memeing about that g = pi^2 = 10, but I've never seen a single person actually do it :x
added the period there for extra effect too
it is maaaybe a good idea if u r like
yea everyone knows pi isn't sqrt(10)
in a no calc exam
it's 4/sqrt(phi)
If you are engineer, why dont you do one term riemann sum instead of actually integrating it

nothing better than a wolfie wall
it interprets phi as a variable lol
,w 4/sqrt((1 + sqrt(5))/2)
,w phi^2 at phi = phi+1
close enough

Is this a power series?
First simplify the integral
$\int_1^\infty ln(x) e^{ln(x) (n - 1)}dx$
$u = ln(x)$
$e^u = x$
$\frac{du}{dx}x = 1$
$du x = dx$
$\int_0^\infty u e^{u(n - 1)} e^u du$
$\int_0^\infty u e^{un} du$
$v = -un$
$-\frac{v}{n} = u$
$\frac{dv}{du} = -n$
$-\frac{dv}{n} = du$
$\int_0^\infty \frac{v}{-n} e^{-v} \frac{dv}{-n}$
$\frac{1}{n^2} \int_0^\infty v e^{-v} dv$
$\Gamma(2) = 1! = 1$
So the question is now
$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$

Is this statement true ?
f can have any number of stationary points without having a single real root
given that degree of polynomial is n
so does that mean n-1 complex roots of f are responsible for those stationary points
youll need at least one stationary point if you wanna go without real roots
if f has no real roots, then it has at least one stationary point
well the number of turning points of f is the number of roots of f', so at most n-1

Hello
I got this math thing
- During the three stages of production, the following amount of water is used to produce one ton of products:
in the first phase 6,9 hectoliters, in the second phase 645,7 liters and in the third phase 31,2 dm^3.
a) What is the total water consumption per ton of products?
b) How much water will be needed for 264 kg of products? Express the result in Hectoliters.
I dont know how to start
the total water consumption is the sum of water consumptions per phase
naturally, you'll need to convert them to the same unit before adding them.
@restive river
@restive river Has your question been resolved?
Alr then it is 1 366,9 Litres
A= 1 366,9
1366.9 liters per ton.
264/1000, surely?
What?
the target production is not 264 tons, it is 264 kilograms
Yes
a ton is 1000 kilograms
Yes
(x liters)/(1366.9 liters) = (264 kg)/(1000 kg)
if you want to do it that way
(instead of just multiplying the consumption per ton by the 0.264 tons of product you want to produce)
"we do it by ___"
does this mean "Doing this with any other method is prohibited under threat of failure on the entire assignment"?
surely not.
I mean no
But i know this method only
we never learned any other method
if you had the question
Apples cost 35 Kč per kilogram. You buy 5 kg of apples. How much do you pay?
would you also go through the trouble of making a proportion like this?
5*35
exactly
175
i mean you COULD do it like x/35 = 5/1
oh
Thats also possible
you found the total water consumption as 1366.9 liters/ton
and you're producing 0.264 tons of product
the numbers are no longer integers but that makes no difference
How did you get Kč :D?
i happen to know the names and symbols for some currencies around the world.
for the czech koruna in particular it's because my dad went to czechia once when i was a kid and brought back some coins from there
Even Koruna Česká?
You all go to Prague 😞
probably
No one ever goes to Silesia
anyway, yeah.
the proportion thing is helpful if you're not yet comfortable with thinking of fractions as numbers in their own right.
The machine works continuously and produces one product in 14 min 7 s. How many products does it produce:
a) in 24 hours? Only list the number of complete finished products.
b) in 264 days?¨
I also got this one
I think i understand this one now
So
24 hours: 86 400 seconds
14 mins and 7 secs is 847 seconds
that means
102 per day
now 264 * 102
26 928
a
,calc 264*86400/847
Result:
26929.87012987
,calc 86400 - 102*847
Result:
6
it looks like there is just enough extra time accumulated over these 264 days to produce a single extra product

I need help with this question, I tried reading the step by step instructions but I don't see how they got the answer
whats 8 as a power of 2
And 32 as well
2^3?
I know it's 5/3 but how? How do I use that power to get 32? What's the steps?
whats 32 as a power of 2
once u make them the same base its just algebra
2^5
hibyehibye
hibyehibye
@unreal pollen
(2^3)^x = 2^5
2^(3x) = 2^5
do u agree ?
like yeah, you have to just know both those powers
okay I get it now, just powers then logs afterwards
okay thank you guys
.solved

Question: Determine if the sequence is monotonic and if it is bounded.
I am still a confused on how to determine if it is monotonic and want more clarity
The bottom increases faster than the top after n = 12
Try to compute $a_{n+1}/a_n$
a_n+1 = a_n * 12/(n+1)
Micni9
To find that after n=12 it increases faster than the numerator, do we randomly plug in or how can I know this?
write it as a recurrence relation
you get this and notice its 12/(n+1)
First use ratio test to see if it goes to 0
Then check which part increases faster
Oh I see
$\frac{12^n}{n!}$
Oğuzhan
Imagine it like
$\frac{12 \cdot 12 \cdot 12 ... \cdot 12 \cdot 12 (n times)}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot ... \cdot n}$
Oğuzhan
As you can see in here
The number in the denominator are smaller than 12 when n < 12
So the bottom will be bigger
So therefore it is monotonic
After n = 12 the denominator will get much bigger than the top because it will start to multiply by 13 14 15 16 instead of 12 12 12 12
After 12
And before 12 it is not
You can see it here in the graph
It's not exactly 12 or the graphing calculator is wrong
But as you can see around 12 it starts to decrease
Sorry I'm slow in the head but can we go back on solving for 12x/x!
Which part
finding the ratio
Ratio Test?
$\lim_{n\to\infty} |\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|$
Oğuzhan
Do you know how it works?
not really
Basically
If this limit's result is smaller than 1
it converges
If it's 1, then it's inconclusive and we can't decide
If it's larger than 1 it diverges
You can think of this as if next term divided by the last term is bigger than 1
Then the next term is bigger because the ratio is bigger than 1
ah ok
can you show me example using the problem above
$\lim_{n\to\infty} |\frac{12^{x+1}}{x!(x+1)} \frac{x!}{12^x}|$
Oğuzhan
the formula?
the algebra
$\lim_{n\to\infty} |\frac{12}{(x+1)}|$
Oğuzhan
What do you mean?
Since we know a_n
And as you can see this gives us 0
So at near to infinity it's 0
So it converges
Which can be seen in the graph
You just substitute the value of a_n+1 and a_n to there
Yep
You can bring 3 and 4 together
so it becomes 12^(n + 1)
(x + 1)! can be written as x! (x + 1)
Think it as
for example for x = 4
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * (4 + 1)
Yes
so 12n!/(n+1)!
Yes
wait no
fuc
12^(n+1)
this is embarrassing i can't do basic algebra lol
Algebra is just about practice
ok so can you guide me step by step? let's start with (a_n+1)/(a_n) which is ( (3^n+1*4^n+1)/(n+1)! ) / ( (3^n * 4^n) / n!)
right?
then I multiply the numerator by reciprocal of denom
((3^n+1 * 4^n+1) / (n+1)!) * ( n! /3^n * 4^n )
combine (3^n+1 * 4^n+1 * n!) / (n+1)! (3^n * 4^n)
cancel out common factors (3* 4n!)/( (n+1)! )
i still get 12n! / (n+1)! ?
what am i doing wrong
$(n+1)!=n!*(n+1)$
Micni9
so I can also write it as 12n! / n! (n+1)
the ratio should be 12/(n+1)
yup
oh oops i see it now
didn't know you can cancel factorials out like that
ok thanks now it makes sense :D

Read #❓how-to-get-help for further information on how to ask a good question, and about conduct in the question channels.
so im trying to prove this by induction
Im not going to write the base case to save time
(but i wrote it down on my paper)
so for hte assumption i have assume for some k > 1, that the product of these k consecutive integers is divisible by k!
this means that k! | (n)(n+1)...(n+k-1)
then i said let Lk! = (n)(n+1)...(n+k-1) for some integer L.
then consider k + 1. We have (n)(n+1)...(n+k-1)(n+k)
I can rewrite this according the assumption to the following:
Lk!(n+k)
Then since n >= 1, I can say that (n+k) = [(k+1) + (n - 1)]. Thus Lk![(k+1) + (n - 1)]
now im confused on where to go and i can't really make any progress
product from 1 to k = qk! for some integer q, then product from 1 to k + 1 = product from 1 to k * k+1
inductive hypothesis
u get q(k+1)!
urrr
maybe im dumb given the reactions lol
ohhh
i dont know where did i get it from but the exact problem
wait so did i do anything wrong thus far?
it looks fine but you do seem to be at a road block
yes. So was the path i took wrong?
it just might be that induction isn't very easy here
oh
you esentially need to show that Lk!(n-1) is divisible by (k+1)! which isnt immediately obvious to me
is there another route I can take besides induction?
np
how do you know that it equals (s+k-1)!/(s-1)!?
that doesn't look obvious to me
oh wait
nvm
it is starting from number s and multiplying every number to k afterwards
it makes sense
its used in some olympiad proofs as a sleek way of proving that
lol
that's interesting. Ive never done math olympiad
i prob should though, i just feel like it would make me feel bad about myself lol
it makes me feel bad, dont worry
this feels like a class problem
yes this is from my discrete math class
oh okay
wait what's binomial (s-1, k)?
C
like s-1 choose k?
yep its cool

?
!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'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
can you let me know how far into the question you are?
i think you've made a mistake at the f'(x) stage
let me double-check
oh no you did get
x=+/-1
right
i'm not really sure what you're doing after that, though
did the 1st derivative test to check for local min/max
would you not just substitute the maximum value's x value you found into f(x) = 10 - x - 1/x
i dont think your working on the right is necessary
but otherwise you're correct
it's 8

I tried it but failed
like anything given in question is a and b are integers or so?
No no I don't know how to face floor x
you have to break it at integer points
Suppose i take 2.1 = x
hm
Floor 2.1 + (- floor 2.1) = 2+(-3) =2-3 = -1 ??
yes
but remember limits are opposite in both of the integrals
floor(2.1) + (-floor(2.1)) = 0
floor(2.1) + floor(-2.1) = -1
hm ye lol
Yeah i understand it
Thanks for giving me that deep knowledge
Can I change limit of floor -x a to b?
Adding negative sign?
ys
you forgot to change limit*
Didn't even noted?
I'm learning English too these day
bruh
I hope this is correct. Wrote it with patience
Should be from -b to -a in the latter integral
why the hack are you putting equals sign in between
So that I can replace the negative value with positive value and add
Ha bhai
ha toh hindi me samjhata
We can talk over VC if you prefer
dekh agar koi integral de rkha hai $\int_a^bf(x)dx$ then you can replace it by switching sign of function and replacing limits like $\int_b^a-f(x)dx$
Hack With Techno Boy
@sonic smelt
Why does x in the first integral magically turn into floor(x)
Opps i left floor sign@sonic smelt
The rest is fine
@sonic smelt
x goes from a to b, it is unsafe to assume that there exists some k such that floor(x) = k for all x on the interval
Unless a, b are both on an interval [k, k+1)
And, btw, integral of 2k+1 from a to b is just (2k + 1)(b - a)
No idea how you got (2b + 1) - (2a + 1)
So $\int_a^b\floor{x}\dd{x}+\int_b^a\floor{-x}\dd{x} = (2\floor{a} + 1)(b - a)$ if $\floor{a}=\floor{b}$
