can you show your work?
so were you entering this into some automated grading system?
did you enter in exactly "(-inf, -4] U {2/7, inf]"
because technically, this is wrong in 2 ways
even though it is morally correct
both I thought were typos
inf is always non-inclusive
ah okay
do you know why this would be wrong?
should one of the circles be open?
that looks correct to me.
its still all showing as wrong
is this another inf] vs inf) thing?
positive

How to calculate the combined transformation of 3 matrices?
Try doing each separately in the order they appear
Depends on the situation but in general calculate the matrix of transformation for each one then multiply them in order to the object you're transforming iirc
Basically multiply those 3 matrices in that order iirc

Where did I go wrong here
Dividing by $2 \cos x-1$ means you lose the solutions where $2 \cos x-1=0$
Civil Service Pigeon
Okay is there any way to not devide?
factor ... ?
$(2 \cos x-1)(\cot x+1)=0$
Civil Service Pigeon
you forgot about periodicity
Where did the one with cot come from
$\cot x (2 \cos x-1)=-(2 \cos x-1)$
Civil Service Pigeon
$\cot x (2 \cos x-1)+(2 \cos x-1)=0$
Civil Service Pigeon
$(2 \cos x-1)(\cot x+1)=0$
Civil Service Pigeon
just add the periods on and you're done
for cos, yes
yeah
Answer choice A?
,w 2 cos x cot x - cot x = 1 - 2 cos x, 0 \leq x <2pi
nvm I missed the [0, 2pi) part earlier
you were right originally
I was gonna say what the solution set would be if they wanted the general solution
but neither A nor C are right
😭
it would be $\frac{\pi}{3}+2k \pi, \frac{5\pi}{3}+2k \pi, \frac{3\pi}{4}+k\pi$
Civil Service Pigeon
Yes I saw that which is why I was confused there would be no k if we were limited to just 2pi

You did the wrong order
It would be 8/24-1/24
But anyways, if you don’t want to think too much about it just do it absolute value, cause area is always positive
i did? I thought its upper - lower?
But the function is decreasing
so when the function is decreasing, its lower - upper?
Oh mbo
No
U missunderstood me
Your integral is -1/3x^3 right?
-1/24 -(-8/24)
That should solve your problem
I meant you did the opposite cause i thought u simplified
1/3x^3
The antidirevative of 1/x^4 is 1/3x^3 right?
reverse power rule
.
Yeah 1/x^4 = x^-4, and the antidirevative of x^-4 = x^-3/3 which is equal to 1/3x^3
oh wait
Why do u divide by 3?
divide by neg 3
Yes
okay so its still upper - lower
Yes yes
i just messed up the reverse power rule
Correct

how can i explain it with using pigeon hole principle?
like i know its baaically floor(10000/7)-1000 but how can i explain how i got the numbers
by doing it
??
by doing it
what?
idk set the pigeons to like the 1000 sets S1, S2, ..., S1000.
and the holes to the 7 possible remainders when an integer is divided by 7: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
there must be at least one hole containing at least ⌈1000/7⌉ or 143 pigeons
actually i should probably floor instead of round
142 pigeons

whats another word for velocity decreasing
or rather just change in velocity
yeah
so you have vi = 0.5 m/s
a = -0.05 m/s^2
remember you need 3 pieces of information for the big 5
whats the last piece of info you have
yeah
and what are you looking for
yeah so you dont need distance
whats the one equation without distance
yeah
can you solve for t from there

Does anybody know how I can practice computing Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors? (Is there a website where they give me the correct solution? Sometimes I have a problem finding the Eigenvalues after calculating the determinant :c I would like to practice that)

Im done mentioning the pain this problem causes me often shrug unless its in a critical or inquisitive context shrug.
1. They divided the entire problem by A to remove A. Doing so would appear to divide the overall functions output and affect everything, how is this still equivalent?
2. Are B/A and C/A division or fractions (though theyre probably the same thing).
3. What was the purpose and explanation behind moving C/A to the right of the equation?```
-
Diving by constants changes nothing about the equality (unless it's 0, 0 is tricky)
-
Treat b/a and c/a the same way you would treat b and c normally, just constants.
-
we move c/a to the right side to prepare for completing the square. :)
I do not believe your response encapsulated any of the information I requested beyond requesting that I simply understand already which I failed to do despite trying at 100% for hours to understand even the first one.

e.g., how this response does not actually answer the question, and instead, focuses on a logical truth rather than the explanation behind why that is the case or the steps taken to arrive at that conclusion and how to make said steps.
dividing by a constant does not change the output for the same input because you are changing the output congruent to how much you are changing the input
if both you and I have 2 pizzas
and we both half our supplies
we both have an equal number of pizzas
They divided the entire problem by A to remove A. Doing so would appear to divide the overall functions output and affect everything, how is this still equivalent?
Try it yourself
3x + 6 = 9
Dividing by 3, you get (3/3)x + 6/3 = 9/3 or x + 2 = 3
Both are equivalent
1- you want to get the value of X which will hold two values because it's a quadratic equation so you need to get rid of A
2- you could say so
3- to make both sides equal
also a little off topic but thank you for actually trying because earlier alot of people were just being toxic to the point even a mod asked me to close the post because they thought i was trolling due to how many ppl were attacking me due to my confusion over a question.
and then after all that 1 guy came along and answered almost everything so yea
me when i did not realise they were dividing X and that X was the input value:
alr thank you

I need help getting past this point. I’ve replaced f(x) with x^3 but I can’t see how I could simplify this further.
Is this calculus 1? Or is it pre calc?
pre calc
Okay so you have (x+h)^3 - x^3
I'm going to use h in place delta x
You can multiply (x+h) (x+h) (x+h)
In other words, expland the cubed term
does that make sense?
it does but how would i go about multiplying them together
Okay so if you have x^2 - 1 right?
Y'know how you can factor it into (x-1)(x+1)?
Then if you multiply them together you get x^2 - 1?
yes
Okay so esseentially you have the factorized form of your cubed function here
Where you have (x + deltax)^3
So if something is cubed, what does that mean?
like if I have 2^3 what does that mean?
it multiplies by its self twice?
Close, three times
so you'd have 2 * 2 * 2
Waiit
Yeah you explained it right I think
I think you had the right idea I just interpreted it wrong
You meant what I had put right?
yea
ok so think about that same idea but multiplying that binomial twice
So (x+h) * (x+h) * (x+h)
Does that make sense now?
yes
Alright work that out quickly at let me know what you get
So doing that I got
yea
Okay so for thee numerator, you can cancel some terms out
is it the x^3's
Yep!
and so i just divide it by the h at the bottom?
Well yes
but I would just factor the h
So you have h(3x^2 + 3xh + h^2)/h
Then the h's cancel out
Youre all good

this is driving me crazy
Can help to start with the diagram
Also... what unit are you in? In your class
The method to get this answer could vary slightly depending on the tools they gave you (also what class you're in)
this is mechanics (physics) first semester
So you're doing this like a vector problem?
Yeah exactly
Ok great that's a bit easier than the algebra ii way
So let's come up with vectors to describe the movements
We'll make different vectors for each leg of the journey
East and North we will orient as "right" and "up"
Okay okay
Ax = 41 km
Ay = 0 km
Yes you could write it
< 41, 0 >
Or sometimes with square brackets
How about leg 2
25 km north
(0i + 25j)
Ofcourse
Ok cool
Then finally the 3rd leg
This one is trickier
Because it isn't straight north, south etc
Yeahh ikik
Ok so based on the description you gotta figure out the angle
it's <22,05i + 13,78j >, that's what I got for the 3rd movement
What was the angle you used
32 deg
oh shit
They didnt give you standard position
They gave you the bearing
Which you have to convert to the standard position first
Then you can do the rest normally
Okay okay, how do I convert it to the standard position?
So standard position is where pointing straight right is 0
And straight up is 90 degree etc
Okay yeah
isn,t east of north in the first quadrant
Then rotate eastward (to the right) by 32 degree
It is in 1st quadrant but so is the correct angle
Okayy so technically it's 90-32 deg
Yessss
Exa6
Exactly
So that's the tricky thing about these bearing problems
You have to first translate them to the usual angles
Yeah it's really weird and annoying since I'm always confused by the angles
Just remember those words east from north, west from south etc
Those are bearings your "real" angle is the one where right is 0
now I add them up and find the magnitude
71,46 km
now for (b)
I got 41,18 deg after using the magnitude of the sum
is that exactly the answer or am I going to need to subs 180 or do some extra steps
Oh it's correct
thank you so much I appreciate it
ofcourse it was incredibly helpful
The final answer was the magnitude because the magnitude of that sum would represent the overall length of the movement from the 3 vectors
Simple, it's just every summer is like an amnesia phase for me and I forget everything
Lol yes can relate

Would X^-4 also be correct here? I flipped X^-5, and X^1 to make the -5 positive. Then it would be X^1/X^-5. Which would be X^-4
No it's right on the screenshot
x^1 / x^(-5) is not x^(-4)
and x^1 / x^(-5) is not equivalent to the given expression
why is that wrong? I thought you were supposed to flip the equation to get a positive number, then when it's divisible you subtract the exponents
you also had said you flipped the x^(-5) down to make it positive, but then wrote it as negative again anyway
if you had really flipped everything it should be x^(-1) / x^5

Does my answers look ok? Want to make sure I got the defintions down correctly
your solution for (c) is too wordy for the wrong reasons. we don't care about these infinitely many solutions to some system, especially if we never use it. it's the linear dependency that asserts that perhaps C is a linear combination of A and B. your solution should justify why C = A+B as you claim
(d) is uninspiring and poorly worded, but the choice for D is acceptable and requires no computation. saying D = A+B+C suffices
So more like this?
much nicer and to the point, cool
since it's all just a calculation you can throw in words. like, "we assert/see that C = a_1A + a_2B with a_1=a_2=1. indeed, [calculation on second line]" but like, whatever lol
or like, "we verify that C = a_1A + a_2B with a_1=a_2=1 in the following: [calculation]"
some words to show you're human, not too many to get to the point 🤷
but like
it's fine
uninspiring questions get uninspiring answers 
love that you're indicating where the solution goes in italics by the way
good presentation

@frosty cipher Has your question been resolved?
Triangle ABO is isosceles
B is 50 degrees because 180-130=50
A is also 50 degrees because it is opposite to a side that is congruent to the side opposite B
Triangle interior angles sum to 180, so 180-50-50=30, which is x
D is 130 because if you notice, the line through DE is parallel to the line through BA
Then 180-130=50 for y
ohhh tysm thats so easy thxx!!!

Stuck on d
if P takes B to E and Q takes E to F, and N takes B to F, then it stands to reason that N=QP (edit: corrected order of P and Q
You have both P and Q so that's just a simple matrix multiplication
and maybe there's one more piece of information that determines k
It says the determinant of N is 2
it does indeed say that
hint hint this part is why they tell you that |N|=2
Yes
Thanks I found k
But how do I find the vertices now
Oh nvm got it

So how do i solve this
I would do polynomial division to see if it gets to a nicer expression
it has a reminder
This is a case of improper function means you need to divide to divide this
Ok
how did the quotiant came in fraction?
huh?
I think you need to recheck your division
Yeah that great now intergration of Q is done easily using formulas
The remainder prob some with log or arctan
Ok there you go since now everything is simplied it's easy now
It's called calculas
i hate itegrals calculas

😓
its easy
just mutiply the brackets and done now its x^n formula
Ohhh ok
,,- \frac{1}{27} \cdot \frac{287x - 183 }{3x^2+5x-3}
bacc
partial fraction decomp is also an option but ugly numbers
I will just use this method
What is this method
Omg mistake in calculas can cost you a lot
One log two arctan
Wasn't arctan for irreducible denominators?
The idea is here to split the fraction
And modify the numerator
So that we can apply natural log and arctan
bacc
In the first term we want 6x + 5 in the numerator
And for the second we would complete the square
of the quadratic in the denominator
Ok i am back
,,- \frac{287}{27 \cdot 6} \cdot \frac{6x + 5}{3x^2+5x-3} + \frac{287}{27 \cdot 6} \cdot \frac{5}{3x^2+5x-3} + \frac{183}{27} \cdot \frac{1}{3x^2+5x-3}
Only thing left is to complete the square of 3x²+5x-3
And write it in the form of 1 + y²
where y = ax
bacc
I hope this helps
Hopefully i will make something out of this

Please could I ask if someone could double check my b and c, I believe I’ve done it right but I’m not 100%.
multiply both sides by e^x and let k = e^x
I believe that’s what I did
I made it = to y
And then solved from there
so it is solved?
btw you find solutions for y, not x
don't forget to do y = e^x at the end

can someone here explain to me how to get from equation 3 to 4?
im doing it based on my own work.. but that one line confuses me
honestly im just confused on 6.26 and so on..
equation 6.26

@charred frigate Has your question been resolved?
i dont really understand why equations youre confused about
can you mark them
wait lemme really explain this
so essentially i have a question that uses this work, but diffrrent values
i am trying to integrate my work with the book process
here is what i have so far
all that is highlighted is what matches the book

Is dividing x by 2 under modulo 2^n with n > 0 undefined?
Or is it ok to divide by 2 in a usual sense if x is even?
Or maybe it depends on the context/field that's being worked?
$$\frac{x}{2} (\mbox{modulo}; 2^n) = r \iff \exists; s \in \mathbb{Z} .; \frac{x}{2} = s 2^n + r$$
It works the same as any modulo group.
it is totelly okey if i the mod deletes this but i was wondering how to get better at math. I i dont understand the math at all. is there youtube chanels, websites whatever that helps me get better in math.
Shuba
Does it? Usual pairs of the integer you want to divide by and the modulo are coprime
In this case it isn't so it doesn't have a multiplicative inverse, no?
if you're looking for integer solutions, then no because you can't divide in the ring of integers.
If you're looking for solutions in a field, then it works the same.
By which I mean, if x is an integer, then x / 2 is not a valid operation.
Umm
And you can't say x (mod 2^n) = 2r either because we might have 2r > 2^n
Under what modulus?
I don't quite get it
In the ring of integers modulo $2^n$, you can't do $x/2$ because that's not an integer.
However, if you want to define a ``$\mbox{mod}$'' operation on a group containing the integers such that
$$x ;\mbox{mod}; n = r \iff \exists; s \in \mathbb{Z} .; x = sn + r$$
$x ;\mbox{mod}; n$ in the ring of integers determines the representative in the ring of integers modulo $n$, i.e. it functions the same as a modulus, but can be applied to bigger groups, like the reals where you can divide, and therefore $x / 2 ;\mbox{mod}; 2^n$ is a perfectly fine operation.
Shuba
Let me give you an example. Consider the real number $x = 25$ and $n=3$. Then
$$\frac{x}{2} ;\mbox{mod}; 2^n = 12.5 ;\mbox{mod}; 8 = 4.5$$ because $12.5 = 8*1 + 4.5$
Shuba
well there are two options, either there is no x with 2x=y mod 2^n for whatever y you want to divide by 2
or there are actually two different values of x with 2x=y mod 2^n
either way, dividing y by 2 makes no sense
you can't say x/2 mod 2^n = r <=> x mod 2^n = 2r because 2r might be bigger than 2^n.
and this will always be the case when the number you want to divide by is not coprime
either there is no possible x or there are several possible x
Yeah, so that's what I was asking
So if they're not coprime it doesn't make sense
a similar question which would make sense is considering the function f(x)=2x and then asking for the preimage f^-1(y)
which would then either be empty or all the possible x
just in case you want a formalism which somewhat allows this idea

can someone check my answers
7.5 or -7.5
0 or -1.25
1.5 or -6.5
i think theyre all wrong but i dont even know
what are you trying to find here? x?
first one is right
second one you have the 0 correct
third one you have all wrong
yes
it would be quite weird if they werent solving for x
elaborate
?
How first one right
let me ask you this: how would it not be right?
My fault I’m slow
on how to get the other ones right
you told me to elaborate, what do you want me to elaborate on
to elaborate on what i did wrong on the other ones to get them right
3rd one is x = 0 or x = -5/2
dont just give them the answer without the process lol
you have:
2|4x+5| - 3 = 7
My bad I can send the process too :))
what is the first operation in opposite of PEMDAS on the lhs?
the 3
-3* but yeah
so what is the equation after you add 3 to both sides
-5 and 5
wtf
isn't you make the thing it eqals negative and positive
that sounds wrong
You make the lhs equal to either plus or minus the rhs
idk what escanor is on lol
so this becomes:
4x+5 = 5
and
4x+5 = -5
solve from there
correct
cant the answer not be a negative though?
the x is inside the absolute value
what does that mean exactly
absolute value means:
|-x| = x
then how come you dont get why it can be negative
because in the videos i was watching it was saying the answer cant be a negative
idk
something about it cant be a negative
alr bet lets do the next 1
probably heard it wrong
i mean its kind of self expanatory after the last one
if you still get it wrong ask me
is it 10 and -2
you swapped the negative signs somehow
think about it
plug in 10
you get 14 * -1/2
i just saw it
so got it?
yes
great you can .close now

how do i approach this problem
my trig is like a 2/10
i mean just evaluate the left and right hand limits
what
what is the limit of that as theta approaches a little less than 0 and a little over 0
idk
0.001
-0.001
?
have you learned the unit circle yet
uhh
i was supposed to in math analysis but i didnt do the class with trig
so i dont know it
so you somehow ended up here without learning trig?
yes
well thats weird
am i cooked
kind of
you need a very strong understanding of basic trig
if this isnt urgent then I suggest first studying that
its due tomorrow
well dang
so like
you learned absolutely no trig
do you at least know the trig identities
a bit
csc and cot confuse me. I'll just use sin, cos. Using those, the expression is $(\frac{1}{\sin x} - \frac{\cos x}{\sin x})/(\frac{x}{\sin x})$
You can just multiply numerator and denominator with sin x to get
$\frac{1 - \cos x}{x}$ if I'm not mistaken
gautamdb
Then to calculate limit as x->0, because numerator and denominator approach zero, use l'Hospital, so differentiate numerator and denominator, to get $\frac{\sin x}{1}$. Limit as $x\rightarrow 0$ is then just $\sin 0 = 0$.
gautamdb
@placid mortar Has your question been resolved?
gautamdb
wha
You can multiply numerator and denominator by the same thing
oh to get a common demoninator right
So multiply numerator and denominator by sin theta
No, to simplify
Yes
Then this
$\frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\theta}$
gautamdb
how does it simplify to that
is it cause the bottom cancels
yes
ok ty

I need to check if this boolean simplification is correct
it might
So could you help me with boolean algebra
im not sure I understand your work
For the problem
The lines are ones if that helps make sense
I don't think so either
yea probably not
nope, still utterly confused and don't understand the algebra
oh wait are you simplifying from truth table
Yeah I turned it to dnf form then tried to simplify
you can just demorgan and get the answer
that looks like cnf to me
Ohh wait
I think I've fixed it
, rotate
,rotate
No that's wrong again
Guys idk what to do
My final result requires more than 5 gates
How can I reduce gates
@severe sparrow
the algebra?
yea? what's your result?
3 nand 2 inverter, ur circuit is right u just need to change some of the inverters
$(p\land \lnot q) \lor (\lnot p\land r)$
someone1010
do u know how to make or gate with nand?
How did you get that?
literally the equation given
I think it's OR inverted
?
That's nand
$\lnot (A \lor B)$ is the same as $\lnot A \land \lnot B$
yea
yup
$(p\land \lnot q) \lor (\lnot p\land r)$
now use that on this
someone1010
magically 3 nand gates 💀
or maybe im wrong
am i wrong wait im wrong am i not
yup i should just \lnot exist myself
yup
someone1010
$\lnot(\lnot(p\land \lnot q) \land \lnot (\lnot p\land r))$
someone1010
are u forced to use truth table 💀
ok, I was 💀, that's cool
i mean, boolean algebra is valid
Gotta make sure we didn't make a mistae
make a truth table ig?
a truth table is the most obvious general algorithm, but you can also just like
How would I draw this with less than 5 gates
put in p = true and see what it simplifies to
put in p = false and see what it simplifies to
i mean, the expression is literally 2 inverter 3 nand
and then compare the results of that to doing the same thing to the original expression
brute forcing SAT ;-;

I think your example fails for the case 0 1 1

Also how do you guys suggest I learn latex so that I can type up my work and make it easy to grade

For dN/dt=k(N-B), N=B+Ae^(kt). What does each variable represent, I know t is time and k is rate of change and N is amount made but what is A and B
The B is present in your original differential equation
And the A is an integration constant
Meaning A can take whatever value and that function for N will still satisfy the differential equation
we haven't done differential equations or integration yet, we are doing exponential growth. I understnad N=Ae^(kt) for dN/dt=kN, A is the initial value but apparently B is the initial value for the other form? Then what is A?
The difference between this differential equation and the above one is just that N has been replaced by N-B
It's just a linear shift
Think of it like shifting the graph of N vs t to the right B units
ok, but is A or B the initial valiue
if I graph it tho it asymptotes to B so how is it the final value

helo
Just need someone to explain this
where did the sqrt go
if its (x^2 - 1)^1/2 wouldnt the sqrt just cancel the square on the x? and the 1 would remain the same?
So it would just be x - 1
also here
where did the 2x come from
log rules
if its
d/dx 2lnx + d/dx ln(x^2 -1 )
shouldnt that be
2/x + 1/x^2 - 1
no, chain rule
chain rule
d/dx f(g(x))
elaborate further?
d/dx f(g(x))
= f'(g(x))g'(x)
of course
ic
canu specify which one
Ohwait nvm itsokay

what is this.
It's a system of linear equations
,, \left [ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & -3 & 4 \ 3 & -1 & 5 & 2 \ 4 & 1 & a^2-14 & a+2 \end{array} \right ]
bacc
okay after that what should i do for the a
So to make 0's
the "a" will only show up on the last row
After you did that you would compare these two components
but only after you reduced
not right now
You basically need three row operations
like a^2 = a
how can i just remove the a
is what im stuck at
Can you first show your system overall
,, \left [ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & -3 & 4 \ 0 & -7 & 14 & -10 \ 0 & 0 & a^2-16 & a-4 \end{array} \right ]
bacc
This is what you should end up with
Notice you can write a²-16 = (a-4)(a+4)
And now you consider some cases
If both components are 0 then that means infinite solutions
Otherwise you can can divide by a²-16 and observe for which values of a you get one solution
and in order to have no solutions there must be such a so that a²-16 = 0 and a-4 is not 0
@lament schooner Has your question been resolved?
wait divice what by a^2-16
You didive by a^2-16
bacc
You should see now that you have z = 1/(a+4)
ahhhhhhhhh thats what you meant
okay yes
z = 1/(a+4) where can i proceed with this O_O
i mena i feel like its infinite solution but
ok
So if a is not 4 or -4 then you get one solution
because we just divided by (a-4)(a+4)
that should make sense
yes
