difference of 2 suqares on the denominator gives $(\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}+\frac{\cos v}{\sin v})(\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}-\frac{\cos v}{\sin v})$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this cancels with the numerator, giving the whole expression as $\frac{1}{\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}+\frac{\cos v}{\sin v}}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
So I convert my image to what you wrote of the difference of 2squares on the denominator
yea show me when ur done
cuz the next step should be clear but i'll help you out if you need it
i just realized that sounds very insulting
i'm sorry
that was not my intention
Its ok 👍
cool
I very much need help
ok
so we are trying to prove now that $\frac{1}{\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}+\frac{\cos v}{\sin v}}=\sin v\cos v$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
It looks like a fundamental identity , the image above
so we're going to now multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{\sin v\cos v}$ to get $\frac{1}{\sin^2 v+ \cos^2 v}=1$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
it's the first pythagorean identity
Yup
I can help you with writing the proof, too if you want
Yes please I apprecaite it
Ok. So we're trying to prove that $\frac{\tan v-\cot v}{\tan^2 v-\cot^2 v}=\sin v\cos v \forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this should be the first line of the proof.
And it's easier to do the difference of 2 squares step here, so for the second line, we say that this is equivalent to $\frac{\tan v-\cot v}{(\tan v+\cot v)(\tan v-\cot v)}=\sin v\cos v \forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
and we now expand using the definitions of tan and cot: $\frac{\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}-\frac{\cos v}{\sin v}}{(\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}+\frac{\cos v}{\sin v})(\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}-\frac{\cos v}{\sin v})}=\sin v\cos v\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this is the third line
and by cancellation, we see that this is equivalent to $\frac{1}{\frac{\sin v}{\cos v}+\frac{\cos v}{\sin v}}=\sin v\cos v\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this is the fourth line
and now we multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{\sin v\cos v}$, we get $\frac{1}{\sin^2 v+\cos^2 v}=1\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this is the fifth line
and we know that $\frac{1}{\sin^2 v+\cos^2 v}=1\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$. And we've shown that $\frac{\tan v-\cot v}{\tan^2 v-\cot^2 v}=\sin v\cos v \forall v\in\mathbb{R}\Leftrightarrow\frac{1}{\sin^2 v+\cos^2 v}=1\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
therefore, $\frac{\tan v-\cot v}{\tan^2 v-\cot^2 v}=\sin v\cos v\forall v\in\mathbb{R}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
and that's the proof
👍
do you have any further questions?
if not, please close the question
No , no questions I just want to say thank you for helping me your way of doing the work is sooo much better than how my teacher did it, your an awesome person and thank you for your time

i need help with finding y
i need help finding x i mean
yeah
so the way i like to do this is by defining the inverse function
but im self taught so im not sure how teachers typically introduce this
does ur teacher have a specific way they want you to do this?
ion think it matters as long as i show how i got it
ok
so we have x defined as a function of y, and to find y for some x value, we can define y as a function of x
we have $y=-5\cos(2x-\frac{2}{3}x)$ and we can transform this into $\cos^{-1}(-\frac{y}{5})=(2-\frac{2}{3})x$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
dat shit looks more complicated lol
it'll all be easier i promise
we can then divide both sides by $1+\frac{1}{3}$ to get $\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{3}}\cos^{-1}(-\frac{y}{5})=x$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
we now have x as a function of y
and we evaluate $\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{3}}cos^{-1}(-\frac{y}{5})$ at $y=0$ to get $x$ when $y=0$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this is also just $\frac{3}{4}cos^{-1}(-\frac{y}{5})$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
this yields $\frac{3\pi}{4}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
which is obviously wrong
i did something wrong
im sorry
i was thinking that $\cos^{-1}(0)=\pi$ but it's $\frac{\pi}{2}$
mygenderisanonnewtonianfluid
the real answer is $\frac{3\pi}{8}$

I have a question. I've written my equation for a degree as Sin(2/3pi(t))+1 and Sin(120)+1 I believe the ground level would be the radius under the water.
its hard to tell but i think by "above or below water" they mean that the water surface is at 1 meter of the ground
Would the mid-line also be 1 meter than?
yea, thats kind of how im reading it

I have 4 digits,
for instance:
1234
How can I calculate how many combinations of such digits there are?
For example:
combinations for 1234:
1234
1,234
12,34
123,4
1,2,34
1,23,4
12,3,4
1,2,3,4
(8 combinations)
@snow sentinel Has your question been resolved?
combination is the wrong word
I am actually not exactly sure what you want
it seems slightly more like partitions but for that you would also have stuff like 13,24
do you just want to know in how many ways you can place commas between the numbers?
if yes, there are 3 places for a comma and each comma can be there or not. so 2^3 options
👍
That's what I wanted thanks

s
But we have to determine the properties of the function
like the vertex, y int, x int, AoS, orientation
so?
use the quadratic formula to get the x ints
use vertex form for the vertex and Aos
show
remember that x-intercept are just points where y = 0, so that's just another word for solutions / roots of the equation
wait i think im dumb
i am not a mathematicallly inclined individual
idk if this is right or not
i would do
-2(x^2 + 8x -5/2)
-2(x^2 + 8x + 16 - 16 - 5/2)
-2([x+4]^2 - 37/2)
-2(x+4)^2 + 37 = 0

So i have been doing this math exercise and the awnser is y=6 but i have found 4y=6 and cant figure out my mistake can anyone help?
there is no way the answer is y = 6
you can check this by subsituting y = 6 in the equation
you will get something like this:
2 - 2 = 3 - 5
and 0 is not equal to -2
Oh so my awnser is correct?

ello. have a calculus quiz in about an hour and while i don’t expect this to be on it, i don’t quite see where i’m going wrong
i’m finding the second derivative of this to be
but putting using points but those just gives me solid negatives all the way across
i really just want to know where i’m going wrong and why i’m ending up with a negative consistently
fked up the multiplication here
wooo
woop *
well
actually i think i thought ahead there and i still treat it as a 16
or else i wouldn’t have ended up with -8x
ok, then the next error is that you didn't factor out the - sign properly
$-8x^2 + 28 \redneq -4(2x^2 + 7)$
$\frac{-a+b}{c} = -\frac{a-b}{c} \redneq -\frac{a+b}{c}$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
\redneq lmao
i see i see
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
that leaves me at a loss with what to do with the (2x^2+7)^2 then
you can just leave stuff as is,
oh wait yeah
don't try to forcefully reducing the expression by illegally erasing stuff
if there isn't anything meaningful to be done, don't do anything
how would i end up with the square root in that case?
solve for when f''(x) = 0
and determine whether those candidates are locations of inflection (just solving for f''(x) = 0 is insufficient)

Problem description:
A thief stole a necklace at 9:00, and shortly after threw it somewhere in a dock. The waterlevels in the dock change in accordance to the formula: y = 0.75 + 1.5sin(π(x+3)/6). Y = waterlevels in meters. X = time in hours starting from midnight.
Multiple people visit the dock throughout the day. Which person or persons will find the necklace?
a) Charlie passes by at 11:00
b) Jack looks at the boats between 12:00 and 13:00.
c) The thief returns to find the necklace at 15:00.
d) Molly and her friends come to fish between 16:00 and 18:00
e) Emma watches the sunfall between 21:00 and 22:00
f) workers scout the dock at 23:00
My work:
is this correct?
i think this is how i am supposed to solve it

Can anyone help me out on how to solve the task? I'm desperate 
Stochastics / University-Level
Task:
The following is known about the value of three shares: Each of the three shares currently costs 1 €.
The value of share 1 rises with probability 0.61 in one year to 1.50 € and falls to 0.50 € with a probability of 0.39.
Share 2 rises in the same period with a probability of 0.24 to 1.60 € and falls to 0.40 € with a probability of 0.76.
Share 3 is worth 1.70 € in one year with a probability of 0.45 and is still worth 0.30 € with a probability of 0.55.
A trader randomly selects two of the three shares and buys one each at the current price of current price of 1 euro.
a) What is the probability that the trader will make a profit with this portfolio within one year? make a profit?
(b) What is the probability that his portfolio consists of shares 1 and 2 if the trader has made a profit?

So I need to show that $p(x) = x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + \cdots + a_0$ where n is odd has $a$ and $b$ such that $p(a) < 0 < p(b)$.
WhoTao
Here is a outline of what I have done.
Ive shown that $\lim_{x \to \infty} p(x) = \infty$ and $\lim_{x \to -\infty} p(x) = -\infty$
WhoTao
Then I claim that there exists $a$ and $b$ such that $p(a) < 0 < p(b)$.
WhoTao
Is that a valid argument?
you may need to show its continuous, thats the only thing i can think of
or actually
no you dont
i think thats fine
I kind of use that is is continuous within the proof.
To use the algebraic continuity theorem
But that is fine, since I've shown that polynomials in general are continuous in a previous assignment.
SO I can just site it

how to do this?
Synthetic division and setting the remainder to zero is my first guess
wut?
@sleek wind do yk sum and product of roots formulas
(x-α)(x-β)(x-γ)and roots r like α+β+γ αβ+αγ+βγand αβγ no?
no like r1 + r2 + r3 = -b/a, r1*r2 + r2*r3 + r3*r1 = c/a, r1*r2*r3 = -d/a
oh eyah
yeah
mb
yh
wut does it mean by α, 1/α
-1/3, no?
no reciprocal roots just means taht they are reciprocals of each other
a and 1/a type stuff
im confused
where do i plug it?
like α+β+γ = -b/a
yh
how u know that?
can beta be 1/α or no?
yh
and u could prolly do sm from there
β = 1/α
α + (1/α) + γ 1 + αγ + (1/a)(γ) γ, is it this?
u set beta as 1/alpha right
yh
yh...?
and then yk gamma in terms of c and a
so u can manipulate the first 2 equations to get an equation in terms of a,b,c,d
instead of alpha and gamma

i am taking calculus 3 and its not been easy to me
what kind of integrals are you working with?
screenshots please
and it has not been easy fr
i dont know how to use it
riemann sums are things such as the rectangle rule, trapezium rule etc
you would be applying these rules with a limit as n -> infinity where n is the number of 'strips' or partitions, youd end up with something like this

well
product rule is h(x) * p'(x) + h'(x) * p(x)
you would have to do that with the x and the f(x) that you are givin in the function g(x)

im confused on what to do for the height
what do you have set up so far?
@coral wraith Has your question been resolved?
2x*x*??=26
Wdym?
rearrange the equation you got for volume to have height by itself on one side
you just divide both sides of the equation by 2xx
yes
so now you can plug that in for height in the cost equation
that gives you only one variable so you can take the derivative
Oh
do you understand now?
So I just plug it in
yes

I've solved AC using the law of cosine, but I don't know how to find the radius of O. Any clue?
@brazen dome Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
The circumscribed circle of quadrangle ABCD and the circumscribed circle of △ABC is the same
So you can use the law of sine to solve it
@brazen dome Has your question been resolved?
Why you can decide that it's the same?
Because point A、B、C and D are all on the circle O
So OA=OB=OC=OD
O is the outer center of △ABC
I see. Then, which side of the triangle(?) Should I use the law of sine?
AC because we already know ∠ABC
It is easier to compute
You can also use another angle
But you need more computation
Then sinABC/AC, right? after that? Sorry I still do not fully understand
AC/sin∠ABC=AB/sin∠ACB=BC/sin∠BAC=2r
r is the radius of circumscribed circle
This is law of sine
I see, I've never heard that it's equal to 2R
Alright, I've found the answer. Thanks @dry flume

Surely there must be a link between this and calculus? What is it?
@urban aurora Has your question been resolved?
i don’t see a link, calculus is about rate of change and area under a curve
odd numbers are in the form of 2k + 1 where k is an integer
the difference between odd numbers always is a multiple of 2n, where n is a positive integer or 0
The pink equation is the change in the black equation
The blue is the change in the pink
Also the black equation is the sum of the pink (Like an integral is the sum of the changes)
the a,b and c values are the values for: ax^2 + bx + c
Which is another thing. Notice how the black one is a quadratic, the pink one is linear and the blue one is constant
Not exactly. In that example we find a by saying 2a = 2 therefore a = 1
Then 3a+b = 5 therefore b = 2
Then a + b + c = 6 therefore c = 3
Therefore we have x^2 + 2x + 3 (Which is the equation that describes the black equation)
why is 3a + b = 5 and not 7, 9 or so on?
Because 5 is the first change. We consider this diagonal of numbers
2nd difference implies that second derivative remain constant, ithink
Is there some way I can use calculus to derive the formulas? I have tried, but gotten the wrong answer
I dont exactly understand the question
What are a,b,c?
is it used in the formula that determines the sequence?
so something like $ax^2 + bx + c$?
ax^2 + bx + c is the formula that determines the sequence
ItzKraken
yes
okay
By this, if you differentiate the the formula for the sequence twice and set it equal to 2, what do u get?
x^2 + 2x + 3 (This describes the formula)
2x + 2 (This is off by 1 for some reason?)
2 (This describes the second difference)
x^2 + 2x + 3 is given..??
okay god am so confused
Just copying the image to bring it back
so:
x^2 + 2x + 3
3x^2 + 2x
2x^2
In that example we find a by saying 2a = 2 therefore a = 1
Then 3a+b = 5 therefore b = 2
Then a + b + c = 6 therefore c = 3
Therefore we have x^2 + 2x + 3 (Which is the equation that describes the black equation)
The a, b, and c are only used for the quadratic
oh thats what u meant
so ur asking if its possible to solve this using calculus only?
Yes
i feel like you are just differentiating each level
there is a pattern use power rule
not really what he did
according to this
As mentioned there. The first derivative does not describe the first difference for some reason? It is off by exactly 1.
why do you assume it’s meant to be in a parabolic form?
why not ax^2 + bx^1.0382
(these are abitrary values)
Good point. We did these things in highschool though, and someone was asking me about it. It has been years since I have done it and I forgot how to so I wanted to use calculus to do it. Anyway, the reason I assume it is parabolic is because that is what I was taught years ago. Another way of thinking about it I guess is the fact that the first difference is changing by a constant amount (Just as a parabola has a derivative that changes by a constant amount)
here’s why it can’t work if you assume it’s parabolic:
we are given a function which provides an odd number (pink)
f’(x) = |2x| + 5 (assuming 5 is the starting value, or 0th term)
and we are given a function which produces 2 (blue)
f’’(x) = 2
and we want to find f’(x), integrating f’’(x), so
f’(x) = 2x + c where c is a real number
if we sub in (0,5)
c = 5
hence f’(x) = 2x + 5
integrating f’(x) give us
f(x) = x^2 + 5x + d where d is a real number
subbing in (0,6) yields d = 6
hence f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6
let’s sub in values and see if this works:
f(0) = 6 (works)
f(1) = 12 (doesn’t work)
hence this is just a recurrence relation in the form of T(n) = 5 + T(n-1) where T(0) = 6
But x^2 + 2x + 3 accurately describes the black equation if you start at n = 1
Also because it is quadratic, this T(n) = 5 + T(n-1) should be T(n) = 2n + 5 + T(n-1)
As T(1) = 2(n-1) + 5 + (6) = 11 (Expected result if starting at 0)
T(2) = 2*1 + 5 + (11) = 16 (Expected result)
@urban aurora Has your question been resolved?
you cannot obtain this through calculus
Another thing that makes me think there surely must be a link though, is the fact that this is just a discrete version of what we do in calculus (which is continuous)

how to do this?
Well do you know what the product of roots is going to be?
seems like an interesting problem regarding roots of a cubic eq
Write ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 as x^3 + (b/a) x^2 + (c/a) x + (d/a) = 0
Now assume roots to be alpha, 1/alpha, beta
Can beta be gamma?
Now - b/a = sum of roots, c/a = pairwise multiplication and sum of root (like 2.3 + 3.4 +2.4) and - d/a as product of roots
Yeah sure it's just a variable
Oh ok
Take it whatever you want
Then you'll have 3 equations solve for it u will have the identity above
I understand this part
Ah Yh I got that
Like this now solve for this
U will get the relation, first eliminate beta/gamma by putting - d/a
Since roots are reciprocal last equation is just beta/gamma
In those 2 equations?
Yup
Ok let me write it down
Ignore bottom left scribble
First u put value of Beta in first equation, u will get value for (alpha + 1/alpha) = d/a - b/a
Then put beta and value of this in second equation
It will become c/a = 1 +(-d/a) (d/a-b/a)
c/a = 1 - d(d-b)/(a^2)
ca = a^2 - d^2 +db
ca-db=a^2-d^2
Hence verified
Im just substituting roots with a, b, c, d terms

I’m looking at this
I’m looking at this but then what if c=1
Then isn’t |1-c| = 0 so for any epsilon it’s less than epsilon.
Right but can I somehow modify the solution?
I want to just use the negation of epsilon delta
Oh I see what you mean
Like if x<0 then we have |-1 - c|
Yup
Yeah
|1-c| > epsilon
Well just the case when c=1
Then my epsilon is 0
But isn’t epsilon supposed to be greated than 0
Look x/|x| € {-1,1} right
So, u must prove that to show continuity
|1-c| < epsilon and |1+c| < epsilon
Which is not possible and discontinuous
I can prove the left limit is -1 and right limit is 1
But can I also do it this way?
Yess
True
If left hand limit =/= right hand limit
Then discontinuous
You can prove it that way too
No I mean I just want to do it with the negation
Should setting epsilon = |1-c| covers most cases
Except when c=1
This fucntion is piecewise continuous, i mean if you just take x>0 then just choose c something like 0.9999 or 1 which will prove its continuous when x>0
And when x<0, choose c = - 0.9999 or - 1 which would prove epsilon delta for it but not on whole domain
Let me post the graph of it
You get it?
Right yeah I get that so can’t I say if c is = 1 look at x<0 then it’s not continuous there
Well I suppose we come back to |1+c| < epsilon and |1-c|<epsilon
Exactly it discontinuous
Basically you cant close the gap at x= 0 for f(x)
Its 2 units wide
1-(-1)=2
Yeah But I’m not quite sure how to write this proof formally
Maybe I can choose epsilon to be the max[ |1-c|, |1+c| ]
Because then we have a counter example for either case
Can anyone verify if this works because I think it does
Yess you can choose max
It will work by being bigger than minimum ond
One
Yeah I think this is the way to go
If epsilon = max(|1-c|, |1+c|) = |1+c|
Then we look at x<0
Oh wait not max but min
Oh
Then epsilon < max
Lol a blunder
Or u can take
Half of |1+c|
And epsilon < |1+c|
Oh Hm but if we choose epsilon to be min then epsilon can be 0 no?
Say c=1
Then we have epsilon is max(2,0)
Choose 2 then look at x<0
|1+1|=|2|=epsilon
We are trying to prove discontinuity right?
Yes
So prove there’s an epsilon for any delta such that |f(x) - c|>=epsilon for some x
Yup and when we take min
Okay
The the other side would be greater than epsilon
Since we took min of them
But then epsilon can be 0 no?
Like min(2,0) = epsilon okay and 2 is for lets say x> 0, then |1-c|> 0 so no such epsilon can be given for both
Yup so be it we are making sure that it will fail
Fk typing let me write it on paper
Yeah min it is
So we found one such epsilon by using min
Also c = 1 is arbitrary so it should work for all
But my confusion is then epsilon is 0 which contradicts the assumption of epsilon greater than 0 no?
Oh that just exclude then 1 and - 1
For c
Its giving 0 at 1,-1 because actually function is continuous on x>0, and x<0
So basically you doing is
Limit f(x) - 1
And limit f(x) = 1 at x>0
Or lets choose some other epsilon
Right okay
Yeah
Wait I’m still not sure why it’s min and not max
If it’s max then isn’t it guaranteed that epsilon will be equal to at least one of |fx -c|
Either when x<0 or x>0
If it is max then it would be bigger than other one, so it would not work since its an AND
No it should be an or right
We’re saying there exists some x
That this epsilon doesn’t work
We are finding epsilon which should not work at x=0
And function take value c at x=0
If we put c=0, then epsilon = 1/2 would have worked
Yeah
But say c is 1 then if I choose epsilon to be 2 it should work? Because if we look at x<0 then |1+c| = 2 = epsilon
It doesn’t matter than |1-1| =0 < epsilon
Or am I misunderstanding the definition here
For c=1?
if x>0 we have |-1-c| right
So it’s |1+c| >= epsilon
If we have x>0 its 1-c
Yeah I meant x<0 sorry
Here
Yup
So max should work?
Since we only need to find some epsilon that for at least 1 x it doesn’t work?
They have pretty much done the same, chosen e for one side then proved that it is smaller for other
We have to make cases
Okay let me rewrite this
Choose epsilon to be max[|1-c|,|1+c|] then,
If epsilon = |1-c| > 0 look at x>0, we have |f(x) - c| = |1-c| = epsilon
If epsilon = |1+c| > 0 look at x<0 we have |f(x) -c| = |-1-c| = |1+c| = epsilon
So we’re done
Is this right?
Both works lol
For min u can do this
The thing is u take max u compare it to same side
U take min u compare it to other
I think you should look up if it needs to AND or OR
No but if u take min then epsilon can be 0 tho isn’t that a problem
I’m fairly sure it’s meant to be or
The negation of for all x is there’s some x it doesn’t work
I’ve read this in spivak calculus
Yup right
I think this should just work fine
Signum is actually neither continuous nor discontinuous
Thanks so much @empty yoke and @modern frost I’ll go have lunch now
Np
I only have 1 right now but if I get another I’ll send here

??????
The denominator is ∂y∂x
For most functions,change the order of variable which we take partial derivative with,the result is still the same
But there are some exceptions
but isnt this the derivative wrt x then wrt y
fxy means doing partial derivative of x first then doing partial derivative of y
And the sequence of the variable is from back to front in ∂f/∂... notation
So the correct sequence is ∂y∂x
ah so it's backwards

at the end i get b + 5 = a - 1
is there anything else i have to do?
or is it already continous?
or do i just express a and b and say those are the required parameters?
was there anything else in the question?
nope
that's pretty much all that you can do then
oh also
just to make sure
when i write lim x->1
its the same limit approaching 1 from negative side is equal to limit approaching 1 from positive side?
can you reword that
wait
there are slight issues with the notation in your work though
$\lim_{x\to 1^-} = \red{\lim_{x\to 1^-}}(x^2+ax-2) = 1 + a - 2 \
\lim_{x\to 1^+} = \red{\lim_{x\to 1^+}}(bx^3++5) = b+5$

$\lim_{x\to a} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a^+} f(x)$ if $\lim_{x\to a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a^+} f(x)$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
thank you for this, will make sure to write it properly next time
in the context of continuous functions do i have to write the if?
for continuity you want
$$\lim_{x\to a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a^+} f(x) = f(a)$$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
(given you can approach from both sides of a)
but its the same if i write as x tends to a, no?
wdym
if you want
just making sure its not a mistake to write it that way
well
the whole thing i wrote would essentially be required, just stating that isn't very good
you'd want to determine whether lim as x→a f(x) exists
and to do that, you'd need to consider the one sided limits and see if they're the same

is there any way to do this without solving every option?
maybe...
but it depends
are you trying to be lazy here or do you want to find a better solution
i want to find a way to take any polynomial into its matrix form
so write it out
so first of all we know that $x^T(Ax)$ = $x * (Ax)$
nosqldb
yeah
yeah and I'd just keep it like this and solve
sorry i dont get it...
like since A keeps changing
I wouldn't bother with altering it
if A was the same and x was changing, I'd tell you to figure out the inner product or sm

If in indefinite integration, a constant is always added, why do we say in physics, indefinite integration of dv gives v(velocity) and not v+c?
well its actually v+C used
There was a equation I saw and in that it was not used
can you share?
we hopefully have some initial velocity to figure out which C it is
yeh exactly
Yeah it was a question like that
The equation was integration of dv = integration of f(t)dt
On rhs a constant was added but on LHS no constant was added
lets say a constant is also added on lhs named c1, and on rhs c2
Ok
thn you can subtract c1 from both the sides
OHh!
now on rhs you will get c2-c1=C
Yes I understand now
which is counted as a single constant
But did they skip that step though?
hm yeah
Ohk
usually that step is skipped
if you solve LDE then also this step is skipped
LDE?

linear differential equations

I feel like this is a stupid question. We define a circle with 360 degrees as 2pi. But this obviously means that 2pi/2 = pi. 360/2 is 180 degrees. Making pi = 180 degrees.
Mathematically, it all makes sense, but my head gets jumbled up with the geometry. I guess because Pi is typically the ratio of the circumference and diameter, my brain doesn't like it being a half-circle. My brain still wants to associate pi with the whole circle.
When I ignore the 2 and just make pi the ratio of the circumference to the radius, all of the issues go away.
When we're talking about the degrees of a circle, does pi cease to represent a full circle?
And secondly, is there any inherent problem with just ignoring pi altogether and just making it the ratio of the radius to the circumference when I'm working with trig?
Because then I get pi = 360 degrees. pi/2 = 180 degrees., etc. The fractions make more sense to me.
1 radian becomes 360/pi
You can just consider 2pi as a single thing
