$y=a(x-h)^2+k$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex, so $y=a(x-2)^2-5$ and thus $-13=a(4-2)^2-5=4a-5$, so $4a=-8$ and $a=-2$, so we have $y=-2(x-2)^2-5$
mathisfun
It is x MINUS h
Yes
Good
I write these questions wrong
Its always the h and k values
I get confused whether h or k is negative or postive
Individually
So could u help with that
Here the vertex was 2,-5
And i wrote it as a(x-2)^2+5
I’ll correct myself since i am adapting and getting better
Ah

i dont understand what they mean by as P inc dP/dt > 0 in the brackets for the top and bottom section
That is the definition of increasing
When the derivative of function P with respect to time is positive, the function P is increasing (graph has a positive slope)
If $f$ is increasing, then $f'>0$
mathisfun
I got everything until P=10 but i dont understand what the stuff in the bracket is trying to say and idk if i need to write the workings that check the max to get the 2m 
^
oh okay but then now i dont get what the second check part is doing
They're checking to see if that value is a maxima, and thus testing whether (P')'' is <0 at that P value
yep I thought they were checking for P being max
didnt realize it was dp/dt they were checking
ooh okay
is writing the stuff in the brackets important when writing my working
or isit kind of a given
It is implied, but you should probably write it out

wait sorry i realised i didnt get how to go from the 1st check step to the 2nd
like how does the d/dt the whole thing become the second step bc i got 2k d2p/dt2 instead of that
You did not use product rule

i take first derivative and get( 4x^3 - 4^x *ln 4 )/ (pi sin(pi x)
Is it 16?
Just use L hospital rule right?
oh yh i got cos
i wrote it wrong
but i dont get right awnser
that looks like what comes out when you simplify this using cos instead of sine
can you show your work? Maybe you missed something like ln4 = 2ln2
ok? did you put in x = 2 to actually calculate the limit tho?
ya but i instantly notice thati cannot factor out a 32 like the awnser
because 4^2 is 16
not 32, otherwise the function would work
Like I said before, you missed ln4 = 2ln2

for some reason i get -tanx/cos x, which is not 1 when x goes to 0
so basically is raise the lower function to e^ln
then i move the limit inside so i dont focus on the e part just the natural log

Hello
start with
f(x) + g(x)
use what's given
then combine like terms
@thorny cape Has your question been resolved?
@winter patrol so
step by step
i start with
(x^2-9x+x+4)(x)
then i get x^2-8x+4
what do i do with that extra x at the end
you shouldn't have an extra x at the end
in the problem
its (f+g)(x)
what do i do with that x
where does that come into play
(f+g)(x) is notation for
f(x) + g(x)
replace those f(x) and g(x) with what you're given

I’ve been thinking about this question for a while but can’t figure out how to mathematically work it out? The question requires me to show the full working out process but I don’t know how to really do that
can you imagine like a timelapse of a clock going through 12 hours
i did come to the conclusion that it would be 22, i just don’t know how i can figure it out mathematically
🙀 🙀 🙀
in 12 hours, the hour hand makes one full revolution around the clock face but the minute hand makes 12
so the minute hand will overtake 11 times
wow i didn’t even think of it that waay
thank you
sorry these questions are pretty easy

U0=7
Un+1=4Un-12
and Vn=4Un-4
prove that Vn is a geometrical sequence with a ration of q=4
the teacher did Un+1=Un+1-4 why he needs to count Un+1?
Tu veux dire Vn+1 ?
yes
Pour avoir le rang suivant
Et exprimer Vn+1 en fonction de Vn
Si tu as pour tout n cette formule
Alors tu l'as pour tout n+1
Tu vois ?
yeah i understand what u said but hows that going to help him find q?
Vn+1 = Un+1 - 4
Vn+1 = 4Un - 12 - 4
= 4Un - 16
Factor by 4
Oh its 4Un+1 - 4
Mb
But its the same thing
he did the same steps as u did rn and than said 4Vn
alors (Vn)est une suite geometrique de raison q=4
but i didnt understand how 4Vn means that q=4
Vn+1 = 4*Vn right ?
yes
Une suite geometrique c'est une suite dont la relation de reccurence s'écrit Vn+1 = a*Vn où a est réel
on appelle 'a' la raison de la suite
Non relation de recurrence ici
Le terme général c'est autre chose
Pour tout n, tu as Vn = v0 * q^n
v0 terme initial
q la raison
so Vn+1=a*Vn is another formula of the geometrical sequence?
Celle là est appelé explicite
THX
Pas de souci
Sache que ce sera toujours la même méthode
Pas de piege
alr i have another problem in the next question
Oui
it says
exprimer Vn puis Un en fonction de n
Et bien Vn tu fais la forme explicite
cause Vn is also equal to 4Un - 4
tu obtiens l'égalité:
4Un - 4 = V0 × qⁿ
et tu résous pour Un
tu la trouve en fonction de n
@winged timber Has your question been resolved?
in the correction of the exercice the teacher wrote
V0=U0-4=7-4=4
Vn=V0q^n=34^n
Un-4=Vn
Un=Vn+4=3*4^n+4
i didnt understan this
mais est ce que Vn = 4Un - 4 ou Un - 4
Closed due to timeout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
.reopen
✅
he determined that
he said in the first question that Vn=Un-4
oh, u wrote Vn = 4Un - 4
i got confused
so, the general term of a geometric sequence is given by:
Vn = V0 × qⁿ where q is the ratio of the geometric sequence
yeah
cela est comment on peut exprimer Vn en fonction de n
donc, premièrement, il a calculé V0
V0 = U0 - 4 = 7 - 4 = 3
alors: le terme général de Vn est:
Vn = V0 × qⁿ = 3 × 4ⁿ
on a exprimé alors Vn en fonction de n
maintenant pour exprimer Un en fonction de n
on a Vn = 3 × 4ⁿ
et on a Vn = Un - 4
alors: Un - 4 = 3 × 4ⁿ
et par suite: Un = 3 × 4ⁿ + 4
c bon
ca c c'qu'il a fait votre prof
yes
i didnt undestand the question
Exprimer Vn puis Un en fonction de n
SO
it asks you to write Vn and Un in a form such that theres only n
in the expression
yeah
so i need to write Vn= how much n's
not how much n
but like
an expression that only has the letter n in it
the question is not clear but its ok i understood the basic thing
so i need to explain Vn en fonction de n and not Un
u should understand it tho, its a famous type of question asked in these exercices
oui
mhm
C'est la forme explicite ici qu'il faut utiliser
he said than
S=v2+v3 jusqu'a Vn so in here i need to do the sum formula right?
thx
Pour les suites géométriques oui
question says
ecrire S en fonction de n
which is S=U0*(1-q^n/1-q)
Sauf que tu commence depuis v2
i dont have V2 so i need to determine it and than apply the formula and thats it riight?
Utilise la formule et retire v0 et v1
Ça fait la somme pour v2 jusqu'à n
La formule te fait calculer ca : (V0 + v1 + v2 + ... + vn)
Donc
yeah bc they said S starts from V2, i started to understand this thank u bro

suppose Xn and X are real valued rv. Then show that Xn converges in distribution to X if and only if E[F(Xn)] goes to E[F(X)] for all continuous CDF F.
im stuck in the part: expectation convergence implies convergence in distribution
Uh what do you have to work with ie. what’s the definition of convergence in distribution
And what does “E[F(Xn)] goes to E[F(X)]” mean

How do I solve this?
I assume there is some formula that can be used
Let $x=\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{5...}}$. Then $1+x=\frac{1}{5+x}$
Ah wait
one second
mathisfun
There
I see
$x^2+6x+5=1$ then just use regular quadratic stuff
mathisfun
and obtian the values
Make sure you do not choose the one with negative value
so then $(x+1)(x+5)=1\x^2+6x+4=0\x=-3+-\sqrt{5}$
UCYT5040
why would it be the negative one tho?
mathisfun
It would be the positive one
oh i misread above
oh yeah so then final answer is 3+5+1=9?
but wait thats not right
the answer key says its 34
Hmm
Why is it 1+x on the left instead of x
I did lmfao
Yeah I was being stupid
if we take the whole thing as x we'll get x = 1 + 1/4+x
mathisfun
$x^2+5x-1=0$
mathisfun
$x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25+4}}{2}$
mathisfun
$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{29}}{2}$
mathisfun
$1+x=1+\frac{-5+\sqrt{29}}{2}$
mathisfun
$1+x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{29}}{2}$

Q2: You are given functions f and g such that $f(n) = O(g(n))$. Is $f(n) * log_2(f(n)^c) = O(g(n) * log_2(g(n)))$? (Here C is some positive constant.) You should assume that f and g are nondecreasing and always bigger than 1.
Wolverine
Can someone explain this?
(This is from Asymptotic Analysis - Design and Analysis of Algorithms)
might help to know that log(a^b) = b log(a)
@untold echo Has your question been resolved?
$f(n) * clog_2(f(n)) = O(g(n) * log_2(g(n)))$
Wolverine
I understand that but I still do not fully get it?
definitely looks closer
Is this the solution?
$f(n) * clog_2(f(n)) = O(g(n) * log_2(g(n)))$
because c is constant,
then the equation is true
Wolverine
i'm actually not sure if it's true or false
I already know that the answer is true but I am not sure if this is all thats needed to understand the solution
yeah so then you'll want to refer to the defn of O(....)
Upper bound (worst case)
- Assuming f(n) and g(n) are non-negative functions:
- $f(n) = O(g(n)) \iff f(n) \leq c*g(n)$ for all values of n where $n \geq n_o$ and $c$ and $n_o$ are constants.
Wolverine
would recommend using a letter that isn't c for that
or replacing the original c with k
you are right but why is that?
yeah like how does it help

can someone help me with factoring 3x^3 + 9x^2 + 21x?
im confused on how to do trinomials that have multiple exponents
what common factor do they all have
3
yes, so how can you factor that out?
i have no idea
so if i write 3(x^3+3x^2+7x), would that make sense that its equal?
Notice that there is an x common to all terms
yeah that looks right
OH so i can turn it into 3x^2 +9x +21?
x(3x^2+9x+21), yes
here lemme see if i can take it from there
cause i know how to do the M A N method
The hell is that
find what multiplies to 21 and adds to 9
because 3 is common to all of them?
Yes
ok i think im starting to understand
Bro is understanding it now
would it be something like 3x(x+3)(x+7)? or do i need to figure out what multiplies to 7 and adds to 3 first
||Actually this is not factorable anymore||
oh so the furthest you can go is 3x(x^2+3x+7)
Yes
||technically you can but its just not a clean answer||
||Yeah I think this is with respect to integers as factors so||
What is the common term
One more common term
W
$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
mathisfun
?
im not too sure what that means
how would i find the ab that cancels out
it would start with (9 - right?
$(3x-4)(3x+4)$
mathisfun
got it
wait but what if they dont have simple square roots? like 9 and 16 is 3 and 4 but 32 and 50 dont have that
or am i just not seeing it
2(8-5x)(8+5x)?
or 2(4-5x)(4+5x)?
what about (2 - a)^2 - 81?
@granite anchor Has your question been resolved?
$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
so what would be a and what would be b in this equation
if it isn't a simple square root then you'll just have it not neat
so like x^2-32 = (x-sqrt(32))(x+sqrt(32))
would a be 2 and b be 81?
the exponent?
so it`d be 9
just trying to say you can`t use 81 as is and you have to put it's sqrt as b, so 9
does that make sense?
yes but then what do i do with the (2-a)^2?
well the equation is
a^2+b^2 right
and we have b so all we are missing is a^2
so what would a^2 be
4? like 2^2=4?
okay so like, we want a^2+b^2
so a^2+b^2=(2-a)^2-81
and we know b^2=-81
so a^2=(2-a)^2
right?
so then what's a
try isolating a in a^2=(2-a)^2
just ignore the, context just try to find what a would be there
but , we'll say it`s (2-q)^2 instead instead of being a
so what is a^2=(2-q)^2
@granite anchor
still here just thinking
let`s say you have, 2y=2(x+2) how do you isolate y
you would have to reduce it right?
yeah
yeah then you would have y=(x+2)?
yeah
yeah
a=2-a
yes
1?
you have to understand that, a in the first part and a in the second part is not equal
it's just the variables being named similiarly
you know we're factoirng right
yes
gotcha
so then we had (2-a)^2-81
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
and
a = 2-a
b= 9
so then's how can we factor (2-a)^2-81
(a+9)(a-9)?
what`s a
2-a
ohhh
just make sure to get rid of the 2- so it's really (-a+11)(-a+7)
simplified the equation
2-a+9=-a+2+9
2+9 2-9 nvm
yeah

Quick question
a(b/c)=de, could be written as
a=de/(b/c), right?
Put parenthesses please
a/b/c can be ambiguous
And say if we have
500/3•x=760y•500x
If you mean $\frac{a}{(\frac{b}{c})}=de$
mathisfun
oh mb
Yes
Yeah the logic doesn't check out
Should be $a=\frac{b}{c}\cdot de$
mathisfun
Ok
meant to a(b/c) not a/(b/c)
Anyway this could be wrote as
x=760y/(1/3),?
So is this $\frac{500}{3}\cdot x=760y\cdot 500x$
mathisfun
Yes
Yes
Ight ty
Which is just 760*3y=2280y

Multiply by conjugate

it didn t work
why not divide both sides by x
I think the limit is dne
Nvm
Hey @jolly pulsar I think you should do first is divide by the highest denominator power
$\frac{1}{x^2}$
nerfLeander
Both sides of the function
i ll try it
Alr then tell me watchu get
ok
Goodboy 😏

am i visualizing this correctly
yes
yes and now this is the next step
yep
okay now the height is the most important part
when you draw a horizontal line to the curve from some point on the y-axis
you want the height to be inside the region
yes, something to do with 8
but no x^3/2
and you need this too
(8-( x^3/2) would be wrong?
that's correct!
if you put this all together
So the distance is still the same as disk/washer method
uh that's different
so how I remember it is, disk/washer method has the same d(something) as the axis
so the disk/washer method would have dy instead
the shell method has the opposite one, hence we have dx
so you should pay attention to the limits
x ranges from 0 to 4
but yeah I mean the r(x) = x in the shell method
is indeed the same as the disk method
except in the disk method you can't have x, so you need y^(2/3) = x instead
i been doing washer method using dx ;w;
it depends on the axis of revolution!!
you need to really carefully read and see if the axis is horizontal or vertical
for wsher/ or in general
in general
for all volume of revolution problems
remember this was a shell one
i been doing washer/disk on x axist, havent dont it on y. first time im doing this on y and its with the shell method
so can washer/disk be on y and shell on x?
yes
these two cases are for a vertical axis of revolution
the other case you forgot, shell on y, is for a horizontal axis
if i want pratice and learn this, do u have a quick ex of this or golook at youtube
go look on YouTube
but also check out Paul's Math Notes
what would this be called shell/disk/washer method on vertical?
yeah, look for vertical axis of revolution / y-axis
vertical can also be like x = 5 or something
it's not too different but you have to watch out; don't just blindly apply something
ill keep that in mind thank you
any idea what does invalid implied multiply mean on a nspire cx II
my calator is giving an error message when i imput it so i decided to do the math by hand and i got something simiar but its off
the correct answer is 384pi/7

Is my formula correct for d?
,rotate
yes, that is indeed correct
you are missing brackets around the (n - 2) though
$\frac{180(n-2)}{n}$, use a fraction and it looks a bit better also
south
oh so its that not what i put? also how would you solve for the sides given 1 interior angle?
essentially for an n-sided polygon, you can draw (n - 2) triangles, each with sum of angles = 180 deg
you can't have a 1 sided polygon
or a 2 sided polygon
I get what you mean but you have a mathematical communication issue with your notation
no like how do you solve for the sides given one angle interior
ohhh
say $\frac{180(n - 2)}{n} = 170 \implies 180(n - 2) = 170n$
south
how does that happen?
multiply both sides by n
ok i just dont why you would do that
ye its just i find it hard to understand why you do what you do in math
now 180(n - 2) = 170n is a linear equation!!
it becomes 180n - 360 = 170n, distributive law
hmmm
yeah we do tend to choose steps that bring us closer and closer to the answer, in not-obvious ways
but you should recognise common types of equations, so a linear equation is the most basic type
quadratic equations are a pain to solve actually
and don't get me started on cubic equations or any higher degree polynomials
a linear equation only has n and other numbers
a quadratic equation can have n^2, n, and other numbers
a cubic equation now can have n^3, n^2, n, and other numbers
k ye its just i struggle understanding why in math
that's a very good thing to do actually
be curious, try to understand things by yourself after looking through materials (your textbook, online as well)
this topic is actually related to rational functions
in say maybe 2 years or so you might see $\frac{7x + 9}{4x + 3}$, and those functions have a special kind of graph
south
the keyword for this is asymptote
but then if you just want to solve $\frac{7x + 9}{4x + 3} = 2$, you can just do $7x + 9 = 2(4x + 3)$ after multiplying both sides by $4x + 3$
south
and now it's not so hard again
so if you think logically, the interior angle of a regular polygon is always increasing with the number of sides
but it can never reach 180 degrees exactly, can it?
that would be a straight line, and no two adjacent sides can make a straight line
but the interior angle does get super super close to 180 degrees
say with 100 sides
,calc 180 * (100 - 2) / 100
Result:
176.4
Result:
179.64
Result:
179.99964
so something that gets infinitely close, but never exactly equals
that's called an asymptote

is this correct
Do you know what a line of reflection is?
yea
And what is it?
k tysm
or a line that create one atleast
Yeah it's the line that creates the mirror image
So it flips over that line
Why is your line vertical?
because the shape is vertical
It has nothing to do with the shape
ok
It has to do with what the mirror image looks like
Like for example, notice how the line of reflection is in between the two shapes?
It's just a line, any two points makes a line. You can pick whatever points you want
so is it js this then
Try it and see
thanks brodie

how do i make r the subject
Multiply both sides by the denominator first
current progress?
if none, seconding riemann.
none im completely lost lol
ok then i am seconding what riemann said.
how does that help though
do it and show us what happens
Do you think the semicolon means multiplication
oops that was a typo
i accidentally wrote the lowercase, and then forgot to delete it before adding the capital
yes that's a good step
R-r=2R/V
oh wait yeah i didnt think of that
i was just thinking bc the fraction has to be seperate
\verb|2R/V - R| \textbf{never} means $\frac{2R}{V-R}$; \ that would have to be typed as \verb|2R/(V-R)|
Ann
yes right
but putting spaces around the minus sign doesn't hurt
anyway -r = 2R/V - R
that wouldve been a good idea
you are one step away
multiply by -1?
surely theres a way to simplify that
OH WAIT
wait no
idk
how does one simplify this
bad notation
this looks like subtracting 1 instead of multiplying by -1
yeah i forgot it at and just added it at the end
better $r = -\paren{\frac{2R}{V}-R}$
Ann
yes okay got it
hollon lemme rewrite
okay
done
now
how on earth can i simplify that
oh waity
distrib
so -2R/V + R
?
is that right
or
am i lost again
yes that's correct
okay right
am i able to add the +R to the numerator?
what do you mean
no
if you wanted to put it as one fraction the correct result would be (-2R+VR)/V
how can i simplify this further
Why do you want to
... so its simpler?
Why do you think it can get simpler
because it dosent look very simple ig
You want like a magical answer like just R?
wouldnt one fraction be simpler than a mixed number
sure ig
You can combine them to one fraction
they just need to have a common denominator, then you can combine
and that’s probably the simplest it’ll get
could this be simplified further
it looks like it could i think
maybe
it could but not worth the effort

Equation of tagent line y=50x-125
Then i integrate from 0 to 5 of int{(5x^2)-(50x-125)dx
i get 625/3 but its not right, is my tangent line wrong?
how did you get that as the tangent?
you differentiate both sides to get the tangent to the parabola
the slope of the tangent*
so you did all that?
yeah slope at 5 is 10 no?
no
f'(5) = 10(5) = 50
yoops i corrected myself afterwards but yeah
yeah its 50
then i use y-y1=m(x-x1)
yup
then find the x intercept
yes
this will be the upper bound
ye let me try now
integrate ydx from 0 to 125/50

Hey, I have a question regarding geometry and proving that a specific angle is 90 degrees. I am not going to post the question because it is part of a competition, I just have a General question:
The Figure is give in this style without any Angeles or lengths: The circle kA touches k at point C, the line MA at point D it goes on for quite a while
Am I allowed to measure the length of MA for example to use the intercept Theorem or do I have to prove it in a different way chasing a lot of angles?
thanks in advance!
<@&286206848099549185>
@mossy falcon Has your question been resolved?
ok, so i cant use things like AB/AD=BC/DE, that's a pity, because I already tried like everything to chase this angle, but maybe i try to proove that it cant be not equal to 90 degrees instead.
Are there some theorems that are maybe not that common on which i should have an additional look?
Do you get explicit values in your question?
no, just descriptions where things intercect and a picture of the Figure.
essentially i have to prove that two links are parralel
Are there any circles/semicircles involved in the question
Or intersecting secants or chords
circles and lines and Triangels are in a semicircle, i was able to create a 90 degree angle with the Theorem of thales, but i cant prove that this created line is parallel to the line of the question
aand Yeah also intercecting secants but i wasnt able to use them.
Check if there is another right angle along a transversal from the already proven 90* angle?
The problem with the transveral is that i cant prove that the angle when intersecting the line from the question is the same as the angle when it is intersecting my line i created with the Thales Theorem
Consider cyclic quadrilaterals, use alternate interior angles(via inscribed angles), look for similar triangles.
Maybe thales’ converse?
thanks i will try these. I will close this for now, can i maybe later DM you when i finished trying out these approaches?
Sure

Why cant i apply lhopital after factoring out n?
Cause doing that nets 1/2
L'Hopital is just for a limit, not a limit of an integral
e.g 1/n goes to 0 as n goes to infinity
but the integral of 1/n from 0 to infinity is +infinity, i.e diverging
Wait but the integral here converges right? Also the course/series im watching does apply it on integrals
And makes sense why wouldnt you
Integral converges to 0 right*
Oh aait
Aaah
Got it
No i dont think the integral converges to 0
Thats the uhh issue
Like it behaves like 1/x right near 0 so
You cant say anything
Ok
Thanks
One more doubt
This makes sense
I get what this is doing
But what if i factor out x^n and then take the limit
One sec ill write it
Nope nvm cleared
Sorry

hey could someone help me find out how to make this into the form of the power series of e^x, i know it is from the answer key but im getting weird values and idk where im going wrong
bottom equation should have x^4 /24 not x^4 /12 mb
<@&286206848099549185>
<@&286206848099549185> please
I think you were supposed to subtract 1 when calculating y_2
ohh
Cause f didn't change
yeah i had that just come up in another problem thank you
