-18/3 x^3... I dont really know
I dont understand why it's to this point, why did the -18 go outside of the integral? And why is it only x^2 within it?
so constants can move out of the integral
this is just a general rule
its because they are linear
its the same reason we can integrate this polynomial term-by-term
but im just using it to make the result easier to see, the result would be the same if you left it inside
Could you show me what it looks like inside of the integral? I'm sorry for the trouble
Wait, this is just for -18x^2?
yea
its -6x^3
maybe youre messing up the math in your head which is a common mistake
,calc -18/3
Result:
-6
Haha yes because i got the 5 wrong earlier too

the denominator becomes (q/p)x^(q/p - 1) * x = (q/p)x^(q/p)
the extra x in the denominator is the result of differentiating the numerator, logx
,, \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\log(x)}{x^{\frac{q}{p}}} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\frac{q}{p}x^{(q/p) - 1} \cdot x}
oh goodness that is ugly 
that's right!

higher!
q and p are fixed
they are fixed numbers that cannot change
x is the one that is changing
oh, I see what you mean
hold on
you're asking about the case where p larger than q?

let me see
oh wait, I'm dumb lol
every single function x^a is growing for a > 0
I believe it still grows the denominator. Since p > q the x standalone in the denominator still out grows the x^(q/p-1)
You're so right, im so dumb
@cosmic wind you are correct btw
if p > q then this explodes to infinity
there might be an extra condition in your problem statement?
you'll have to post the original problem for me to be sure though
@cosmic wind Has your question been resolved?

let a,b,c be distinct positive reals, $\frac{a^2(b+c)+b^2(a+c)+c^2(a+b)}{abc}$ would be
Skill_Issue
a.greater than 4
b.greater than 5
c.greater than 6
d.none of the above
ans is c apparently
!status 1
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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
alright well first notice that we can scale a,b,c by anything we want and the expression stays the same
so one thing you could do is assume that a+b+c = 1 or anything you want
also since it is symmetric you could assume that a<b<c
oh maybe we can apply jensen's inequality
Do you know muirhead's perhaps?
also, greater or equal I suppose, right?
muirhead's is just AM-GM on steroids btw, so you could do this with AM-GM as well
no its just greater
then c doesn't look true
if your thinking of using am-gm, it wont be equal cus a,b,c is distinct
AM-GM always works
place some constant k on the right side and multiply by abc
indeed
$$\frac{a^2(b+c)+b^2(a+c)+c^2(a+b)}{abc}>k$$
$$a^2(b+c)+b^2(a+c)+c^2(a+b)>kabc$$
Skill_Issue
now you can apply am-gm on inner sums and the entire sum
do you want it to be equal?
eh, they are distinct so AM-GM says they will never be equal
so not necessarily
ok
but yeah, now it's just AM-GM
how so exactly? sorry im not really catching on
try expanding the LHS
it might make it more obvious
and if you wish to, divide both sides by the n.o. terms on the LHS
after expansion or before expansion
,, 2a^2\sqrt{bc}+ 2b^2\sqrt{ac} + 2c^2\sqrt{ab} > 6\sqrt[3]{a^3b^3c^3}
Bair
,, a^2(b+c)+b^2(a+c)+c^2(a+b) > 2a^2\sqrt{bc} + 2b^2\sqrt{ac} + 2c^2\sqrt{ab}
Bair
double application looks unnecessary, but ig it works too
$$a^2b+a^2c+ab^2+b^2c+ac^2+bc^2>kabc$$
$$a^2b+a^2c+ab^2+b^2c+ac^2+bc^2>kabc$$
Skill_Issue
wtf?? how
this too

Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
yea
press the trash
anyway, that's the AM-GM
try applying it on the LHS
mhm
and see what you get on RHS
for this?
yep
$$a^2b+a^2c+ab^2+b^2c+ac^2+bc^2>6\sqrt[6]{a^6b^6c^6}=6abc$$

Prove that $\frac{a}{b}= \frac{ac}{bc}$
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
so I started by multiplying the fraction on the right by c^-1, and (c^-1)^-1
so $\frac{acc^{-1} (c^{-1})^{-1}}{bc}$
and $c^-1 and {c^{-1}}^{-1}$ are multiplicative inverses of one another
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
which proves that this is the same as a/b
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
is this fine
for $b,c \neq 0$ I assume
a = 0 is fine
Xetrov
lol
just guessing are u doing analysis
i don’t really see how that proves it
Worse, spivak for a calc 1 course
well cc^{-1}=1
and c^{-1} \cdot (c^{-1})^{-1}=1
thanks
You weren’t aware of inverses @uncut crow ?
you should be proving a * b^(-1) = ac * (bc)^(-1)
i don’t understand what your argument was before
Stop concern trolling.
do you want to go back on my block list
laughing my ass off
even this is doing too much. the last line is true because c * c^(-1) = 1. don’t need to go through all the stuff before
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
are you done with the previous one
yea
did you understand this, and that this has a simple, very short proof? or if you don’t want to answer and want to move on, also fine
Hmm, I get this too
so $\frac{add^{-1}}{b} + \frac{bcb^{-1}}{d}$
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
so this is the same as $\frac{a}{b}+ \frac{c}{d}$
ƒ(why am I here)= MATHS
Is this proof wrong?
what does it prove

oh alright
what's the next step

How can I prove that the expression (n^5 - n) is divisible by 5 for any natural n? I assume I should use mathematical induction and consider all possible cases for n?
My inital attempt was to express it as:
5m
5m + 1
...
5m + 4
and prove that it is indeed divisible by 5 by solving for each. However, this approach seems a bit redundant to me.
don't need the separate cases if doing induction
Don't they represent all possible cases for n?
Any number could be expressed by one of these 5 cases.
*any natural number
pls correct me if I got this wrong
depends which method you want to use to solve this
the basic induction approach would already prove it for all integers after n=1, without needing to separate it into 5 cases
I thought if I tried substituting each of these cases for n in the initial expression I would spot some pattern that would help me prove it. But I don't want to calculate the power of 5, it feels like too much work.
I see, sorry I am just getting into this topic.
if you're doing case work like that, induction isn't needed
Then how should I go about this? I am curios how both the case approach and induction would work.
both would involve binomial theorem
you can leave stuff in exponent form, no need to evaluate fully
if m>=0, we cover all possible natural numbers, right? with the cases
yes
ok
let me show you what I get if substituted now
maybe we can spot some pattern
to reduce the amount of work,
do the expansion using
5m + c
ok I will do that now)
@winter patrol
sorry my connection was slow
so
it seems like everything is a factor of 5 except the last term which we need to prove
for 5m + 1 the 1-s cancel out
2^5 gives us 32
Yeah I think we proved it this way ...
@winter patrol
I am curious, why this can't be considered induction? How would you do it the other way?
i forgot the powers here lol
the basic process of induction is
using a base case e.g. n=1
then showing that if the statement holds for n=k, it'll also hold for n=k+1
thus creating a staircase effect showing it'll be true for n=2, and from that n=3 etc... true for all positive integers
(may differ slightly depending on what you're trying to show)
I see, thank you for the detailed explanation!
So, how would we prove it that way? Substituting with k I get, k^5 - k
if I pick 1 as the base case, we get 0 which is indeed divisible by 5.
sorry I just want to make sure I get it this time
I am just not sure how we can prove that this holds true for every k without considering all of its cases
like we did with our initial approach
Or for example here:
n^(4k+1) - n is divisble by 10 for any natural n, k
How would I prove this using induction
the fact that now the power is 4k + 1 confuses me even more, we proved that it is divisible by 5 if k = 1 tho
@winter patrol (if you do not want to get pinged pls tell me I'll stop)
Substituting with k I get, k^5 - k
here you're going to make an assumption that'll be divisible by 5,
you can represent that as
k^5 - k = 5p
and that use that in some way to show that
(k+1)^5 - (k+1) is also a multiple of 5,
i.e. can be expressed in the form 5q
I see, so we start with hypothesis like is done here https://math.stackexchange.com/a/350680
how would you prove this example? @winter patrol
now we have two variables (
<@&286206848099549185>
U need to prove that by induction right?
Yeah) or by cases ig like I did with (n^5 +1) 🙂
First show that is true for the base case
Then assume it's true for n
Then prove it for (n+1) ^4k+1 - (n+1)
By expanding ( n+1) ^4k+1
what value should I choose for k?
? Wdym
For the base case n = k = 1
Ok
starting with the base base:
0 is divisible
now we assume that n^(4k + 1) - n = 10a, is that correct?)
Yes
now we do the same for n+1 and k+1
so we get
(n+1)^(4k + 5) - n - 1
Yes but 4k+1 and 4k+5 are equal in the modulus world so won't matter if u choose 4k+1 or 4k+5
ok so k doesn't matter got it)
so we have
(n+1)^(4k+1) - n - 1
what should we do now
Yes and now u can expand n+1^4k+1
Now the one would cancel out
yes
n doesn't tho, right?
or no we get 4k*n sorry
or maybe we can keep it in the end and express the last two terms as 10a as we defined previously
(n)^(4k+1) -n
Hmm i was thinking a little different
Don't cancel the n
cause we know n^4k+1 - n is divisible by 10
So now we have the task to show that the latter is also divisible by 10
yeah
@ebon aurora Has your question been resolved?
here's a more expanded version lol
might help us see sth we didn't see before
Hmm try this
Can i say u have to prove n+1^4k+1 -(n^4k+1 + 1)
So we can prove this no will be even for all n and k
And then u can take cases
First when n is of the form 5y
Second when n is of the form 5y +1
...
And u can show that that no is a multiple of 5 for all values of n and k
And so as the no is a multiple of 2 and 5 for all values of n and k it must be a multiple of 10
Ok thanks
That's a good idea
so take these cases?
5y
5y +1
5y +2 ...
Yes
Can't find of a better method other than taking cases rn il tell when I do 
ok lol
I always go with cases too so I'm fine with that) I am just lazy to do all the calculations
sorry can you please explain me the part where you proved that it is even for all cases of k and n?
you subtracted the one with (n) from (n+1)^ ...
did you subtract it from the expanded form?
Yes we had already proven that n^4k+1 - n is divisible by 10 and we needed to prove that the latter is
So I just took 1 and n^4k+1 to the other side to obtain the other form of the latter
I just took cases
When n is even
Then n+1 is odd so odd - odd = even
When n is odd
N+1 is even so even - even = even
Also for proving its divisible by 5 u will have to be clever and take advantage of the fact that it raised to the power 4k +1 (ie use cyclicity)
oh
yeah that makes sense) ok I think I get it now, ty!
Yw : )
the only thing left is to prove that it is a factor of 5 using cases) which is a bit redundant but ig that's what the problem expects me to do too)
in the previous problem I proved that for any n (n^5 - n) is divisible by 5
could we use it here?
I guess we could
for k = 1 it is for example
here
What did u do in the previous one?
Also if u look closely this prob is just the generalization of the pervious one
yeah ...
I took cases for n
but at first I just expanded it using some general variable c
everything is a factor of 5 except the last term which I proved using cases
so 2^5 - 2
3^5 - 3 etc )
so u took cases anyways
I feel like this approach can be used here
If we can show that n+1^4k+1 - n-1
Can be Factorized as ten consecutive no and another no which is a multiple of 10 we are done
yes
we have to show that the ones I didn't cancel are a factor of 10 somehow
cuz cases with this one feels like too much work 🫠
Tbh I did it and it isnt that diff 
oh ok
then my brain exaggerates stuff lol
if you figure out how to do it with our initial approach, please let me know🤎
thank you so much for your help!)) I think the book I took this from expected me to use cases anyway, cuz there are no examples of that(stack overflow's) approach provided
I can close the chat now ig, have a great day!)

is k a specific value?
k>1 can imply its always positive, i think you can simplify from this point by moving sinx from the right to the left by dividing sinx and getting 1/sin^2(x) =k
?
yes i did that
Well if k is a constant then x has to be a constant too
?
Ahh ok it's a periodic function
whats the specific problem youre working on

K is equal to √k-1

What are u trying to find?
I suppose they are looking for the set of possible values of k
cotx?
yeah
give that cosec(x)=k/cosec(x) and k>1 find the possible values of cotx
😭
in terms of k
should have told earlier
bro is confusing us more than he currently is
lol
I think you can use some trig identities to find that
hint - cosec²x = cot²x +1
Rather only one
okok let me try wthis
ok got it guys

for B can someone please expain why we do 2sin first?
do you know the power rule formula in differentiation ?
You can imagine sin^2(x) as (sin(x))^2 with the chain rule you first have to take the derivative of the outside ( )^2 so that would be the 2sin(x) and than multiply it by the derivative of the inside sine(x) and that would bo cos(x) so it equals 2sin(x)cos(x)
Jsem Shaco explains it very well here, in a general way the derivative of the fiction f•g (the notation to name the function where x associate f(g(x)) ) is
g’(x) * f’(g(x))
I do know the power rule formula but I wasn't sure if it applied to sin cos and tan

if i have the function for velocity 24m/s * sin(pi * t ), and want to derivate it to turn it into a function for acceleration using derivatives, how should i do it?
did you try taking the derivative? where did you get stuck
what happens is that im a little bit confused as for how derivates work, im still learning, and i do not know the rules for trigonometric functions
do you know the derivative of sine is cosine?
i understand that, but i wanted to make sure if i skipped any other rule
how does it work?
first you take the derivative of sine, giving you cos(pi * t)
then you take the derivative of pi * t
which is?
same as what?

Hey guys ! Im really lost and would appreciate any help. My teacher never went over this today and im struggling on HW. The first picture represents the original graph and the second is the trasnformation im supposed to do . What would my new set of points be ?
I think the x-2 would move the x values 2 units to the right but as for the -f, I dont know how to inverse the function
<@&286206848099549185>
correct
then flip the function upside down, so a reflection across the x-axis
okay !
Let me try
and ill send a new picture
thanks for responding, im going crazy 😭
nwnw
(I would do it point by point, so find where (-2, 4) ends up after the transformation, then find where (0, 3) goes etc)
ok
yes
👍
okay done with all those ones
I also got this back side but
Its kinda hard to see the graphs
oh it's the same type of problem
kinda yea
the only new thing is that they have f(x/2)
that's a compression in the x-direction by 1/2, or a stretch by factor 2
that's still a compression
by factor 2
so it gets squished towards the y-axis
in both directions
Sorry for asking so many questions lol
it's okay
but this stuff is really important for working with functions in general
there's only translation,
towards the y axis
yep, by a factor of 2
so if I had the point (4, -2) on the function
yea
yep
so would I just
pick any point
that is like a good point
to do my compression
oh yeah that works, you can figure them out by testing one point
the thing is
theo nly good point I see is
(0,2)
but zero divded by 2
wouldnt get me anything
*(0,1)
Im guessing the answer is B though
only one that looks decently right
yeah its B
👍
alright
then number 3 is a
units 2 to the left
and inverse
correct ?
cause (x+2), is 2 units to the left and then -f is reflecting over x axis
so G I think ?
yep
the max of the function is transformed to x = 0 then reflected upside down
one sec
well you do f(-x) first so the reflection
the confusing thing is f(2x): 2 f(x) is much easier
for f(2x) imagine the function playing 2 times faster, like 2x speed
👍
4 is so weird 😭
would it be
like
it needs to be a graph on the left side
so either F or I
yes those are the two correct options
however with a stretch, that means the slope of the graph is being increased, cause it's stretched
yeah it's F for that reason
Alr lets go
so now you can figure out f(-x) + 2
hes probably going to clarify all this tommorow
he just gave us this today
without any context
omg that's so sad
so hopefully tomorrow i understand it better
we did easy stuff today like this
it was a lot easier
alr let me try
so u said to do
reflection first
and then
since its
+2
I go up
2
so its
isnt it I ?
thats the only other one on the left
yep
no, it's f(x)/2 or 1/2 * f(x)
My phone is glitching
it's this rule
yeah
yes
ok
?
yep
no
well actually you can eliminate a lot of the options cause it's negative f(x/2)
so it's flipped upside down
no D is not upside down
E
yep
💀
so it was a stretch by factor 2 (compression by factor 1/2)
yea
because of the
well
im guessing its
D
Since thats my last
option lol
I used all the other
ones
yep D looks right
Im done bro
if you're wondering why the top didn't move, it's cause y = 2 * 2 - 2 = 2
👍
Hopefully tomrrow he goes over this
I got a quiz but all the topics on the quiz I already know
so I should be good 👍
Than ku so much for the help

Is what I did okay or do can I not include the -3
youre not supposed to include the -3 since that gives you 0/0
you should pick x vales that get close to -3

my teacher break down this integration on 1 but i dont know why
The probable reason is to be able to instead reason with the second term, which hopefully can be compared with an integral of the form 1/x^p from 1 to infty
(the first term is trivially convergent)
I want to start learning Calculus but I don't know where to start from, any suggestions

So it is ok to break down on any number like 2 or 3?
Sure, but you want to make sure each piece is convergent
Which they will in this case

Is there a way for me to calculate arugment for complex number without a calculator?
like this
In the case you have, draw a picture and make a triangle 
From where you can use trig/sohcahtoa to figure out what the argument is, if you remember the “special values”…
what does trig/sohcahtoa mean?
,w atan(sqrt(3)/1)
Sin cos tan is what you wanna use, afaik sohcahotoa is how they are defined (soh:sine=opposite/hypothenus
ohhhh thanks
In your case, you have a triangle with one point in the origin, another on your point, the last on the x axis. Thus you wanna use tan
So:
tan(arg)=opposite/adjacent=Im/Re
Therefore
atan(Im/Re)=argument
Im and Re being imaginary and real parts
(Be careful if the real part is negative though, you’d then need to add/subtract pi to get the correct argument)
those i know (i hope)
okok nice

Can anyone help me with this
They're probably equaling tangents
How can dc/db be equal to db/ad though
If the angles are equal, it then follows that their tangent must be equal
If I were you, I'd start by calculating as many angles as possible
That should clear up a lot of confusion
How can i get whether angles are equal
Yes but in order for me to determine angles i would need to know how angle b is splitted
You can use trigonometry
And it doesnt say anything on this and im sure its not 45-45
First of all, notice the BD segment is perfectly perpendicular to AD
ohh ur right
you don't actually need to find the value of angle
yes
What does this say about the angle between them?
then how do i do it
i dont remember tbh 😢
just assume it to be some variable then use the sum of angles of a triangle property
wait
yes i can do that
i would do alpha and theta
and get trigonometric values of them
right?
assuming any one is enough
yeah
There's a harder way to do it without finding angles, but it's dumb, give me a minute to draw it
similarity?
Area of a rectangle, Heron's formula, and some addition
@steel fiber Has your question been resolved?
Dude there’s fr no reason to use heron’s formula lol i already got it thanks a lot to everyone

can someone please help me with this?
what have you tried
im not sure what to try
@coral wraith Has your question been resolved?
@stone stump you there?
im not sure how exactly this proof should go, because it seems rather obvious
Since A is invertible, write its inverse out, and there is only one reasonable way to use this matrix
A^{-1}*b=x
so it is unique, isn't it
right
because A^{-1} is unique
what about the other way around
@restive river you there?
let $x_i$ be the unique solution of $Ax_i=e_i$, and think about the block matrix $(x_1|\cdots |x_n)$.
worthless loser
This block matrix is n by n
@coral wraith Has your question been resolved?
Ik confused
why not play with a 2 by 2 matrix, find the corresponding x1 and x2, and see what A does to the block matrix
just to get a feel for it
For example A = ((0,1),(1,0))

Any tips for time management in exam? My exam is in about 2hours, I only have one hour for the math test, I might not finish pre-calc
Scan for the least time consuming and easy questions then answer them
Then do the others
Remember if all questions have the same mark don't waste too much time on a single question
So the moment I get the paper I should at least check pretty much everything first right
Find the worth questions in terms of time/marks
ok ok
How many marks ?
Atleast how many minutes should I spend on one question
its over 80
120/80 ?
No
Total score?
120/80 = 1.5min per marks
Depends question therefore
If its 3marks the question, its supposed to be 4.5 or 5 min on it
Don't be disturbed by the time tho
Good luck !

how to do 10
Maybe first try factoring, to see if you get something a bit easier to deal with 
OMG HI CHARTBIT
ur my fav ever
or second fav idk
Second
who do I have to bury then 
Right, hunting time then 

oki idk wat do from here
Any ideas what happens as you decrease to 2? Maybe play around with values slightly above 2 and see if that brings any ideas?
idk do I just put in 2.1 or something
You could, if you wanted, that's one way, stuff like 2.1, 2.01, etc etc 
(you could e.g. also consider what happens to the numerator and the denominator too!)
wat
it gets super big right
I haven't used a calculator yet idk
The whole thing does get large, yep 
so the answer is infinfity
For this one, the numerator is something positive but finite, whereas the denominator is positive but gets closer and closer to zero
uwaa
Yep, dividing something finite (and positive) by something that gets smaller and smaller (but still positive) 
As for the proof 
,w lim (3x^2 + 7x + 2)/(x^2 - 4), x to 2 from right
Yayaya
how to do 12
do I use perfect chbe
cube
thing
that's like (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2
rightr
Yep, that's it 
Yayayaya

how to do 15
do I change it to inverse of tan
then turn tan into sin over cos of wtv
then reciprocal it cuz ya
Closed by @mystic bloom

✅
don't know what to do for the 13 one?
Fr
You can either, if you have/are allowed a calculator, play around with values that are slightly above pi, or, otherwise, try and figure out how the numerator and the denominator behave when you're decreasing to pi 
umm can u spawn in the unit circle
Well, I guess you could tbf, if you want to choose to relate cot to tan instead?
IDK WHAT TO DO
I can do the ladder by liek using unit circle to see where it's like for cos and sin righttt
Well, I mean you could, or e.g. you can figure out that as you're close and decreasing to pi, what quadrant you're in, and what value you approach for tan, and then argue what happens to cot = 1/tan
,w unit circle
IDK
idkkkk
Have you seen CAST diagrams before? (they may be called something different for you)
No
Anyways (stolen, thanks mathsisfun
), we're decreasing to pi, right, so going clockwise from quadrant 3...
If you wanna consider cot as cos/sin, then thinking about what cos gets closer to, and what sin gets closer to...
Yep, sure, but also sin is negative and gets closer to zero, whereas cos is negative and increases to -1 
so what happens to cos/sin?
is the answer liek neg infinity
Not negative, no 
Of course, that should be a big hint, not negative 
Yep, you have your numerator negative and going to -1, but your denominator negative but getting closer to zero, so you have a positive fraction and its value gets larger and larger 
There you go 
light work
I got 1 for 14.
Yep 
Yay
Hello?
!occupied also
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
Yep, you can find each sided limits separately that way 
wat should I do for the second one
liek
0.9
Same thing
you can set x as 1 for the second half too, "because"
(as each separate half is continuous, the limits for them are literally just the same as putting in what you're taking the limit to)
okii
so like
does it not exist
cuz like it's diff for each side
@upper schooner
Yep, it doesn't, they're not the same on either side, so the overall limit is nonexistent 
easy
wat Abt the last one
also there's like 30 questions on the next page😔
they are short though
The last one is just a matter of expanding and simplifying stuff 
omg i have to expand it
grr
I tried simplifying but nothing happened
What did you get when you expanded?
omg i can factor out an x
Remember that this is all divided by h, of course 
this the final page
do I just like
plug it in
for the corresponding thing
Pretty much (just notice that the limits ones are slightly different than the function value ones as where you're meant to put things, otherwise it's quite chill imo
)
