it would be -inf
not, exponentials cannot be negative
think of the domain of the function
its only between 0 and pi/2
between those
sin(x) is minimum at x=0 but then 0^0 is 1 choosing between 0 to 1 sin(x) is less than 1 so something less than 1 but > 0 is raised to something less than 1 but>0 would be less than 1 but>0
so the minimum value would somewhere when x is less than 1 but greater than 0
tending to 0?
it would not tend to 0 if its between the range 0<x<pi/2
i am sorry but i don't undertansd this
,w graph x^(sin x)
its not x^sin(x) its sin(x^sin(x))
oop
what its just say is that for function $a^{x}$ the range will be less than 1 if $0<a<1$
Bring Back Beatrix
when the function is defined for 0 to pi/2?
you will find the minimum at x when you found where $x^{sin(x)}$ is at its minimum
Bring Back Beatrix
in this case its only for 0 to 1
so the minimum x is between 0 and 1
bro i honestly don't understand anything, can we start again just for the minima part step by step.
apologies for wasting your time
please?
its alr, ok i start from the begginning for minima
thanks
the whole function is this $ln(sin(x^{sin(x)})+1)$
Bring Back Beatrix
the ln function there would only approach minimum if
$sin(x^{sin(x)})$ is at its minimum
Bring Back Beatrix
ye
and since $0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$
Bring Back Beatrix
$sin(x^{sin(x)})$ will not be negative
Bring Back Beatrix
because $x^{sin(x)}$ will not be negative
Bring Back Beatrix
so you can treat this function $x^{sin(x)}$ as like $a^x$
Bring Back Beatrix
if $x=0$ then $x^{sin(x)}$ will be 1, but if you let $0<x<1$ the range will be $0<R<1$
Bring Back Beatrix
$sin(x^{sin(x)})$ will not be negative, because $x^{sin(x)}$ will not be negative
smartypants11062008
this
yes
we just eliminate the instance where the sine goes on to angle greater than 2pi
even if x^sin(x) is not negative, how does that signify that sin can't be negative
oh
because we only focus on $0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$
Bring Back Beatrix
so $sin(x)$ will not be negative
Bring Back Beatrix
and so is $x^{sin(x)}$
Bring Back Beatrix
now
we return here
if $x>1$ then $x^{sin(x)}$ will be greater than 1
Bring Back Beatrix
because the base wil be greater than 1
so we eliminate that domain
and also 0
so the only remaining domain where we could find the minimum is $0<x<1$
Bring Back Beatrix
yes ok
and if you want to get that x where its minimum you have to find where will the minimum of $x^{sin(x)}$ is
Bring Back Beatrix
yea
know you could solve the derivative of that to find the minima and maxima but it would be too complicated
but this has some analogy
you could think of it this way
in the domain (0,1)?
yes
we can do it by derivating it right?
yes but it will be complicated
how can i find the minimum value of x^sin(x) then?
here
you could solve it numerically
or you could solve for derivative and then apply the newton method
to find the root of the derivative
if you solve it numerically you would find it somewhere like $\frac{\pi}{9}$
Bring Back Beatrix
and i dont think that you could express the minima symbolically
because if you substitute x as $\frac{\pi}{9}$ the answer will not be symbolical
Bring Back Beatrix
$ln(sin({\frac{\pi}{9}}^{sin(\frac{\pi}{9})})+1)$
hmm
Bring Back Beatrix
but another way if you want the exact
.w
you get the derivative of $x^{sin(x)}$
Bring Back Beatrix
sin(x).x^sin(x)-1
that
where does this log come from?
you could take the term in parenthesis
i solve for the derivative of $x^{sin(x)}$
Bring Back Beatrix
Bring Back Beatrix
oh sorry bro, i have to go to school
can you just continue this? i will read it later
solve this equation for x and you will find the x where the minima is
alr
,w solve sin(x)+x*log(x)*cos(x)=0
yup even wolfram alpha could not solve it
Wolfram Alpha doesn't understand your query!
Perhaps try rephrasing your question?
Click here to refine your query online
so i could not think of other way that to solve this equation numerically
this one
but i believe its somewhere like $x \approx \frac{\pi}{9}$
Bring Back Beatrix
that will make the range to be $ln(sin((\frac{\pi}{9})^{sin(\frac{\pi}{9})})+1)<R<ln(2)$
Bring Back Beatrix
@restive river Has your question been resolved?
you could apply newton's method here to find the root

There are three ways I can do this, but I think trying P(A|B complement) = P(A union B complement ) / B complement would be easier. Not sure how id approach P(A union B complement) = P(A) * P(B complement).
Now, I think I'm having some trouble setting this up because I haven't been given enough to start rewriting P( A union B complement).

]
Can someone link me an article for this I just genuinely forgot lol
@restive river Has your question been resolved?
unless φ is some special function i have no idea of this is just the derivative of φ with respect to x
dφ/dx=φx +φy*dy/dx
it s also called the total derivative of φ

Hi @dark sparrow, what don't you understand in this explanation?
You choose a pair out of the 13 possibilities. Then you choose 2 suits out of the 4 for this particular pair.
Then you need to choose the additional 3 more kinds out of the 12 remaining kinds
And for each of the chosen kinds you need to choose a suit out of the 4 possibilities
The second half of the numerator
why isn’t it just50
Give your explanation and we'll see where it's wrong
You want exactly 1 pair
50c3 includes more pairs
and includes the possibility of having a triple or quad
ok thanks

Why is this wrong...?
What I did was
I made a single object out of A,G,J
Which will be in the order of AGJ or GAJ
Then arranged it, so the number of arrangement will be 9! For 9 object which is B,C,D,E,F,H,I,K,(A,G,J)
are they supposed to be in consecutive order
No, 8 obj can be in any order ... but for A,G,J they've restrictions....

Every way I break it down it doesn’t give me any of the answers provided, I’m usually getting -3, -6 or -11.849
Lhopital all the way
Daaaaamn we haven’t learned that yet
everytime I see any limit question which does not solve when I just plug in the values, I just go for lhopital rule without even thinking twice (ik this is a very bad way though)
@pseudo basin
oh no
It should be possible with some amount of factorisation I believe
the best strat
lhop basher (derogatory)
If I factor out from the beginning term?
No way, remember you can only cancel terms in N and D if the term in N is multiplied by something and then isn't added to anything else
you can, but you can't cancel
the real question you should ask is when can you cancel
and it basically comes down to only when you have [something] x A / A, where A is the thing you want to cancel
you don't have that here
So because the t-1 in the numerator is bonded to other terms via addition right
In this instance
the numerator just simply isn't of the form (t-1) * something
so how could you cancel out the (t-1) from the denominator and the numerator?
it really has very little to do with "bonding" or "addition" in particular
there are no special cases to remember
if you struggle with remember cancellation rules in general, then don't remember any of them; it's only a notational shortcut
cancellation is just removing a multiplication and division that "cancel" each other out or an addition and subtraction that do this
so if I were to multiply by (t-1) and then divide by (t-1), I could remove both of those as long as t isn't 1
So because my t-1 in the numerator isn’t isolated I can’t cancel it, basically
if by that you mean that the numerator doesn't look like (t-1) * [everything else], then yes
Yes
Okay so now
(Preciate that btw)
Substituting in my value sends this to zero, and all my current ways of reducing this are getting me non listed answers
How should I go about approaching this
so you're saying that if you substitute t = 1 into the numerator, you get 0?
Denominator
If I substitute it into the numerator I have to do that to the denominator as well no?
I'm aware
I was asking
but you should try to first figure out whether the limit is of an indeterminate form
for example, if you substitute t = 1 into the numerator and denominator, and you get something like 1 / 0, then you can immediately tell that it diverges
surely you have
the first types of limits you cover are the somewhat simple ones, like lim as x -> 4 of 2x + 3
Ah yes
But we haven’t done derivatives yet
Right now if we get an undefined denom we just make a table of decimals just running up to where the limit is approaching
there's no derivatives involved
you just need to figure out whether it's an indeterminate form, like 0/0
Every problem I’ve gotten so far in my calculus unit has resulted in 0/0 upon first substitution of the limit value
So I’ve either had to get rid of the denominator through cancellation or using a table
okay, that may be true for the particular problems you get, but learning math is partly about being able to use techniques to solve problems where you're not given such hints
Yeah I understand that
or u can also differentiate the numerator and denominator
you can't do that until you know that it's in an indeterminate form
to get rid of the variable for some of the questions thats is
However just seeing as I’m starting out with this I just want to be able to get through this process repeatedly
and in any case, because the numerator and denominator are polynomials
IF it is an indeterminate form
you can use polynomial long division
Oh yeah
try not to memorize the process
I personally need to before I can understand the alternative paths
it's not about the alternative paths
If I can’t establish success I have no mental standing
it doesn't make any mathematical sense to just assume that the thing is in indeterminate form
that's why I told you to check it
but suppose it is in indeterminate form, that is you know both numerator and denominator are 0 when t = 1
since the numerator and denominator are polynomials, by the definition of "root," you know that they have roots at t = 1
what does that tell you about their factors?
the big problem with memorizing a process like you've done is that you can't distinguish what is mathematical nonsense and what is mathematical sense, because it's just all memorized
which also causes problems like what you tried with cancellation
I understand
that's basically the error-correction mechanism that mathematics people use when their memories get fuzzy
you just run everything through again and make sure that it all makes sense
Yeah I get it
But this doesn’t help me at all, frankly
Yes, should I not memorize everything, yes
what does that tell you about their factors?
can you answer that question?
It tells me that t = 1
given the context of the question, the thing you write is guaranteed to come out to 0 if you didn't mess it up
Yes
it tells you more than that
Yes
suppose I tell you that x^2 - 4x + 3 is 0 when x = -3
It tells me this doesn’t diverge
well, it actually doesn't tell you that at all
0/0?
what does this tell you about the factors of the polynomial?
for example, (x-1)/(x^2 - 2x + 1) diverges as x -> 1, despite the fact it's 0/0
X - 3 x - 1
wdym
That’s what I would factor that into if that’s what you’re asking me
(x-3)(x-1)?
that's not correct, either, but that's sorta missing the point
I don't really care about what the factors are, but what the specific information that it's 0 when x = -3 means
you could imagine that I give a much harder example that you can't completely factor
that information still tells you something
Yes
what does that information specifically tell you
no
suppose I give you this polynomial: $f(x) = x^{5} - 18 x^{4} + 98 x^{3} - 144 x^{2} - 99 x + 162$ and furthermore, I tell you that $f(1) = 0$. Can you tell me at least one of its factors?
Saccharine
162
no
Or 0
0 is not a factor; otherwise it would be 0
what is the significance of the information that f(1) = 0?
I don’t know what context this is
there's no context beyond what I've told you
I'll just tell it to you
f(1) = 0 for a polynomial means that (x-1) is a factor
I think it's called the factor theorem or whatever
Can you see why if (x-1) is a factor of a polynomial f, then f(1) = 0?
the other direction is a little harder to prove, so I'll omit it
if you take a look at your limit, do you see how the numerator is a polynomial, and so is the denominator?
Yes
and furthermore, they're both 0 at t=1, right?
Yes
so by what we just discussed, they should both have a factor of (t-1), right?
so it's pretty obvious how the denominator factors: (t-1)
Yeah that’s what we have
but now you're trying to find what times (t-1) gives the numerator, right?
Yeah
so in general, if we're trying to solve the question of "what times this gives that" what do we do?
It depends right
or in an actually more analogous context than is obvious, how do you answer the question "what times 105 gives 210?"
I’d divide 210 by 105
And then multiply that by 105
Damn I really am going to have to do polynomial long division arent I
so let's simplify your numerator to $-t^4 + t^3 + 3t^2 - 3$ (actually, I just noticed what you wrote on the paper has a mistake on it; this is another reason why you should do sanity checks like the numerator is 0 at t = 1)
Saccharine
Yeahhhhh
it's not any different than the long division you learn in grade school
or you can literally just ask a calculator
No I know I’m just thinking there’s a more efficient way
efficient in what way?
My calculators bad, gotta write everything
Less steps and more clear
there aren't many steps at a high level
Instead of just number crunching
it's just divide -t^4 + t^3 - 3t^2 - 3 by (t-1)
Yeah
ask a computer to do the number crunching then
,w divide -t^4 + t^3 - 3t^2 - 3 by (t-1)
It’s all good I’ll do it on paper
why do it on paper when you have technology
Idk
I’m old and remember when I couldn’t use calculators for extensive problems like this in grade school
I want to use it though
they're probably trying to make sure you actually know how to do it
I also want to actually know how to do it tbh
but there's nothing wrong with using a calculator for something that you are already expected to know
True very true
otherwise we would be stuck doing all arithmetic by hand
Very true
So that’s what I’m doing right, I didn’t make any other mistakes getting to this point?
it's - 3
in any case, you now have $\lim\limits_{t \to 1} \frac{-t^4 + t^3 + 3t^2 - 3}{t-1} = \lim\limits_{t\to 1} -t^3 + 3t + 3$
Saccharine
the position function is called g(t)
Yep
Yep
therefore, g(t) - g(1) = g(t) - 5 = -t^4 + t^3 + 3t^2 - 3
G(1) should equal 7, no?
,w evaluate -t^4 + t^3 + 3t^2 + 2 at t = 1
1+1+3+2?
-1+1+3+2
That should make it positive if it was negative
not sure why you think it's not -1
(-1^4) = 1
That makes no sense
oh you might be wrong on the order of operations
(-1)^4 = 1
yeah but it’s all inside
the stuff inside still obeys the order of the operations
Yeah I get that
the parentheses mean "evaluate this expression first and then substitute it back in"
okay, so then everything obeys the usual order of operations
So what should I assume is it either:
-(t^4) = -1
Or
(-t^4) = 1
both of those things are -1
you've basically written -(1^4) = -1 and (-1^4) = -1
This ^
let's go over the order of operations of both so you can see they're the same
both of those are the same as -(1^4)
They can’t possibly be
I'm not sure why you've written this when it's not true
,w evaluate (-t^4) at t = 1
let's go over the order of operations for both of them then
-1 times -1 times -1 times -1
suppose we are asked to evaluate (-t^4) at t = 1
except it doesn't mean that
we recall the PEMDAS order, and we see that we should evaluate the expression in the parentheses first
well actually
let's substitute 1 in for t first
so we get (-(1)^4)
now the PEMDAS says that we should evaluate parentheses, inner parentheses to outer [I've added parentheses around the 1 just to indicate that's the whole number]
so we are required to evaluate -(1)^4
then PEMDAS says we should evaluate exponentiation next
so we compute (1)^4 = 1
and substitute it back in
this gives us -1
What my point is
if you get all of this, then why do you write that (-1^4) = 1?
There is no information to tell us if whether the negative is included in the exponentiation
You don’t actually know that though
-t^4 is simply -1 * t^4
yes you do
this is the convention used by every mathematician
That’s great
that is what the order of operations is about
I want consistency
establishing a convention for what the order is
it is consistent
can you give an example where this is inconsistent?
I literally just explained to you why that comes out to -1
We’ll then a boat load of math problems I’m doing on a regular basis are just wrong then
the order of operations says that you do multiplication (and therefore unary negation) AFTER exponentiation
So naturally numbers aren’t negative
no
And every negative number is really just a positive multiplying by a negative 1
well, if you want to get into the weeds of it, the negative numbers are defined as additive inverses of the positive ones
It’s saying that we never multiply -1 times -1 over and over
do you see what the parentheses do here?
Yeah
they tell you that you have to do the -1 first
then raise it to the fourth
the usual order of operations would have you do 1^4 first and then multiply by -1
That’s insane, this threw me off completely
So negative signs basically take last priority compared to exponents otherwise when noted by parentheses
negative signs are just multiplication
unary negation is a shorthand way of writing -1 times the thing
yes it comes after exponentiation
Thank you
So for the future
I have to understand that that is what is actually being notated as
I don't think this is a particularly special case of order of operations
it's just the standard order of operations
I guess if you haven't seen things like (-3), maybe it's new but yeah
I have
But tbh
99% of the problems I’ve been doing are (-1)^4 and not -1^4
Which is a little strange but I’m glad I understand why I messed that up now
No wonder it wasn’t making sense
mathematics is often full of very subtle distinctions
which is why you have to state things precisely and come up with a consistent system of rules about it
Yeah for sure
an example from real analysis is the difference between continuous almost everywhere, continuous, uniformly continuous, Lipschitz continuous, absolutely continuous, differentiable, and continuously differentiable
those things do not mean the same thing
and even if 99% of the functions you deal with are differentiable, you can't just assume it elsewhere, and you have to be careful about details like these
Yeah
We haven’t covered anything related to it concerning, just solving it to my knowledge, that’s why I was a bit fuzzy on that language
so can you figure out the answer now?
Yeah, I’m going to do long division
Is there anywhere you recommend for calculating it
For the future
Wolfram alpha?
you can also get a very good approximation with just a scientific calculator

confused by this question
do i have to assume that there exists a 0 white color scheme and then show 2^2023 exists too?
idk what to do
you have 2 different things to show the existence of
- show there exists a 0-white-color scheme
- show there exsits a (2^2023)-white-color scheme
a white-color scheme is an assignment of the colors black and white to subsets of A (i.e. in effect a function from P(A) to {black, white}) s.t. the union of any number of sets of the same color is also that color
the number of white sets under said assignment is the n in n-white-color scheme
@scenic surge does this make sense y/n
one sec lemme read
sorry but im confused by
"a white-color scheme is an assignment of the colors black and white to subsets of A"
so a white color scheme consists of black and white colors?
could say that sure
if youre unhappy with the name i could come up with a different name for it
no i get it
theres a better one i have in mind but i will not say it unless you ask me to
and if we take union of two same colors then the union is also the same color set?
so white_1 U white_2 = white_x
sure
bad notation
worse notation
shit my bad
ok, in that case let's call a function from P(A) to {black,white} a powerset coloring.
this is not part of any argument but an establishment of terminology:
when considering a powerset coloring c : P(A) -> {black, white}, for a subset S ⊆ A, we say "S is white" to mean c(S) = white, and likewise for black.
wait sorry one second afk j got kicked feom the study room
ok, ping me when you are ready
@scenic surge Has your question been resolved?
alright back my bad
ok
with one bit of terminology established, here's another one.
we say that a powerset coloring is good if for every S, T ⊆ A it is true that:
- if S is white and T is white, then S ∪ T is white
- if S is black and T is black, then S ∪ T is black
[||there is a subtle difference between this and the definition you were given. but if you don't see it, do not worry about it -- take my word for it that mine is equivalent to theirs.||]
I see
an n white color scheme, then, is a good powersest coloring under which exactly n subsets are assigned white, and all the others are assigned black.
are you good on that or do you need some time to process it
wait so
im so confused now
oh
so if we have 4 white color scheme then we also have 4 whites assigned to each?
no
a 4 white color scheme is a good powerset-coloring under which exactly 4 subsets of A are white, and all other subsets of A are black.
alr
so if
we have a 0 white color scheme then
we have exactly 0 subsets of A which are white, and the remaining which should be 0 are subsetf of A which are black
swing and a miss.
oh whats wrong
[if we have a 0 white color scheme then] we have exactly 0 subsets of A which are white
this is correct
and the remaining which should be 0 are subsets of A which are black
and this is a trainwreck
i'm trying my best to guide you through the reasoning but you are getting caught up in the formal details.
alr mb
but like
idk how to approach q2 and how this question is related to induction
it isn't
oh what
at least, the solution i have in mind has nothing to do with induction at all
i have an induction test tmr n our prof suggsted this question
in some sense
i mean like, unless you require an explicit reproof by induction that |P(A)| = 2^|A|
but that is it
mhm i guess its prolly the next 2 parts where I require induction
ok so back to the question
the only possible powerset-coloring which assigns white to zero subsets, i.e. one in which no subsets are white, is the one in which all subsets are black.
it is exceedingly obvious that the "everything is black" coloring is good.
the (2^2023) white color scheme you seek is the other extreme.
idt i can hide this anymore
but it is just this glaring
oh because union of two empty set is still an empty set

Excuse me, I need help with this
I think I'd have to use sigma notation
but I don't know how to use it in this sense
also don't mind the 4
I don't have an answer for either

How should I solve this
I don’t even understand what the question is asking for
largest positive integer
floor(-pi) = -4
anyway, ignoring that technicality
I would suggest to try some examples
if k=2, then you are looking for numbers n, n+1 with f(n)+f(n+1)=99
can you find some?
That would be 44 and 45
I don’t know?
what is f(10)
I don’t know
Whenever I see questions with … in the middle I just don’t know how I should approach it
we’re not asking anything wild though
Since it is infinite amount of n+1
No
reread your question
answer this
So the total would have to be
From 990 to 999?
And that can be formed from f(n)+f(n+1)+f(n+2)+…+f(n+1)
But in …
How many f(n)s will be there
you’re overthinking it
How can we solve if we don’t know what’s rly in that …
it’s just saying
k consecutive integers
if k = 2
it’s 2 consecutive integers
so you do
f(n) + f(n+1)
what is this
445+446
Are the combinations that I thought could work
If they add up
They are still in range of 990 to 999
Oh right
Wait
But to fit in
It has to be 49something + 50something
To make it 99
Like 499+50p
500
yeah that should work
yes
So I’m looking for
A part
Where I can’t have consecutive pattern?
@magic pine
i take it you’re still not sure what the question is asking, so read it over again and tell us what about it confuses you
Just confirm with me if I’m right or wrong real quick
I’m looking for k
Where I can not provide consecutive numbers for n that makes 99?
not as your phrased it
it’s something similar
so again, please read it over again
and ask about anything that confuses you
I have to have k number of consecutive numbers
Is that what u missed
What I missed*
I’m not sure what I’m misunderstanding from the question
I’m looking for k that is a smallest integer

Just an arithmetic problem (trying to find the solutions of the system)
i did a series of subs starting from the 4th equation
but i messed up somewhere
i have been eyeballing it for like a good 2 minutes idk how i fucked up
Use row operations to start killing the entries above the 1s if you want to make your life easier
honestly i find just doing subs after getting echelon form to be easier
imo
but okay sure maybe that will tell me how i fucked up
Personal choice ig, but you seem to be struggling with it just in REF rather than RREF
okay okay 
point of matrix reduction is that its meant to be quicker
because ur not writing useless symbols
i just hate writing it in matrix notation constantly because like
u have to write each element over and over
I sentence you to solving a 10x10 system without matrices
just time consuming to write down 25 entries in a 5x5 matrix for every reduction yk?
you can shortcut in rough
just write a big line over a row if it doesnt change
okay thats smort
okay lemme rref

I don't know what to do for problem d
d) is a cone stuck to a square prism
where do I start with?
volume of a square prism
volume of a cone
do I need to add them all up
same principle as parts a,b,c
I got the wrong answer though
1/3 x π x (4.8/2)^2 x 5.2 + 4.8 x 4.8 x 1.5
wait, I thought it was?
5.2 is the height of the whole thing,
oh....
I got the correct answer
all I had to do was minus the 5.2 by 1.5
and that gives the height for the cone
okay so
for problem e
do I just halve the height of the whole thing?

how do i solve this
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
1
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
if i dont know where to begin, i have no work
when two conjugates subtract
a+bi-a+bi=2bi
=2 sqrt 3
bi=sqrt 3
No
|2bi| = 2 sqrt(3)
Then with the fact that x/y^2 is real you can almost find the argument of x
Up to a finite number of possibilities
And then you should be able to find |x|
did i get the calculation right
how
Or b = -sqrt(3)
yeh right
Do you know the notation x = r·e^(it)?
yes
thats a form to represent complex number
Then y = r e^(-it) so x/y^2 = 1/r e^(3it)
And that's real
So π divides 3t
And if you know both b and t you can find a and therefore |x|
wait why is y, the i is negative?
Because it is the conjugate of x
r·e^(it)/(r·e^(-it)^2)
No
whats the 3 doing there
r·e^(it)/(r·e^(-it)^2) = r·e^(it)/(r^2·e^(-2it)) = r/r^2 · e^(it)/e^(-2it) = 1/r · e^(it - (-2it))
so u just use the possible t that makes pi divides 3t, and then calculate for x?
?
+- sqrt 3
who did that colouring and how to do that lol(not related just wanna know its cool)
mniip hates it, stop
$\snow{orthogonal}$
mute u like how Ann was treated...
its tyranny... is it not?
bro continue
do u multiply up and bottom by a-sqrt3 i
...
...
@radiant drift x=a+bi you have found b right?
theres a nice geometric way I think
yes
just continue from leskinen
plz
this is nice
ok
conjugate of (a-sqrt(3)i)^2 is (a+sqrt(3)i)^2
yes linty...
AGREE?
(yes toby im gonna make him solve a cubic)

...
5 year old?
stop this...
what is the bottom expanded
omg do u want me to expand everthing?
no
in the denominator
toby ur gif didnt even load for me and it disappeared
when will you realise ...
...
ok thats nice
lint...
fine
why do we lose... commutativity... when we go into quataernions...
i get it now
get real linty
lint plz give me some hint for this
bruuv
is the denom real
its loading
no its not that
cmon lets be real here ...
...^3/ (a^2+3)^2
wtf
is this right
