ah alright

#

if i derive this, it becomes dy/dt=-600/x^2 dx/dt

#

right?

calm osprey
#

seems correct

pallid sentinel
#

x=20 and dx/dt=-5

calm osprey
#

nothing, god it's to late for me XD

pallid sentinel

I meant those are the stuff to plug in the equation lol

if faced with a proposition that requires the proof by contradiction method to prove , after assuming it's negation is true , what's the thought process about finding and working my way to the contradiction ? like how to get the thought of it ?

thick dove
dull void
#

what do you think

#

wait

#

bruh

dull void
dull void
#

proof by contradiction is a very broad technique

#

because once you find any contradiction given your assumption, it is a valid proof

ivory cairn
#

^^ also this isn't the only contradiction you can come up with. There are several.

elfin elbow
#

i think this statement is particularly easy (although i may not be able to think about working the equations like that ... factoring and stuff) , reading harder proofs sometimes i see that getting to a contradiction seems accidental , like how did he even know what to do to get to the contradiction ?

#

how can i for ex prove that " if a is divisible by b then a^2 is divisble by b , for any a and b " is wrong by contradict

#

to what contradiction should i go

ivory cairn
#

prove it's wrong? or prove the contradiction is wrong?

elfin elbow
#

prove the statement is wrong using the same method (contradiction)

ivory cairn
#

well... that statement is true.

elfin elbow
#

hold on

#

sorry it's inverted

#

if (a^2 is divisble by b , then a is divisible)

#

by b

#

we can take for ex a is 4 and b is 8

#

then it's wrong

ivory cairn
ivory cairn
thick dove
#

My discord was buggin

#

Sorry

elfin elbow
#

so obviously i won't get 1=0 and i won't get that for most of the propositions i'm given to prove

#

also i don't understand why didn't we assume b does not divide a^2 because that's the negation of this implication and not "b divides a and b doesn't divide a^2" because that'll keep it true

ivory cairn
elfin elbow
#

the one you assumed ?

#

or mine

ivory cairn
#

the negation of "P implies Q" is "P and not Q"

#

"b divides a and b doesn't divide a^2" this isn't true.

elfin elbow
#

oh yup sry

#

lemme work on it

ivory cairn
#

just to be clear. Proof by Contradiction is not proving an implication is false. It is proving an implication (if P then Q) is true by showing it's negation (P and not Q) is false (i.e. leads to a contradiction when both P and not Q are assumed to be true)
If you want to prove an implication is false, just find a counter example.

elfin elbow
#

counter example is easier as you said but i want to practice contradiction of probs that require it

#

lemme rewrite the problem i'm facing :

#

for every a and b in R , a=b.k1 ====> a^2=b.k2

#

negation is :

#

there are values of a and b , for which a=b.k1 and a^2!=b.k2

#

so i have these two equations on either side of the implication and i don't know how to work them to a contradiction

#

i don't know if i should square , add , divide ...

ivory cairn
#

try something, see what happens.

elfin elbow
#

i wasted your time trying to prove a false statement by proving it's negation is false

#

im gonna close

ivory cairn
#

🤷 it happens

#

check out the How to Prove It book. It'll have a chapter on contradictions with lots of examples and problems

#

A quick google found several universities have it free online.

elfin elbow
#

yeah chapter 3

#

i have it on a page right now i hope it doesn't require nothing but basic high school math and a decent english

#

How does 50% chance of 20 = 10?

#

Or 10% chance of 100 = 10?

weak maple
#

100% = 1

#

10% = 100% / 10 = 1 / 10

silver flower
#

It doesn’t, it’s just an abstract way to think about it

languid whale
#

Is it that
50% chance of 20
Where you get either 0 or 20
averages out to 10?

silver flower
#

Yeah “averages out” is alright, it’s not technically correct since the only two possibilities are 0 or 20 but it’s ok for the purposes of this video

languid whale
#

I see
Makes sense

Does anyone know why this says the numerator can be used to determine vertical asymptotes?

velvet spoke
#

If the denominator had a zero there as well, you'd have 0/0 which could be a vertical asymptote

final cedar
#

no that would be a removable discontinuity; a hole

woven sand
#

Otherwise, usually the denominator is used to find VA's

final cedar

If anyone has the answer please ping me. this is on Khan Academy as well

@torn joltnumber 8

#

You dont get thats a division of fractions?

#

idk if its correct but you have to do more

#

lemme show ya

#

simplification

#

wait

#

denominator is 5(x-3)

#

and numerator... well the root is negative

#

how would you

#

numerator stays the same denominator 5(x-3)

#

do you understand why?

#

because you need to simplify it as much as you can

#

i "translated" it

#

now you do ruffini with the numerator

#

do you know how?

#

find something inside the rectangle which in the end gives 0

This is confusing me; what is theta here?

not sure if this is what you were asking, but $\theta_1 = (1,0,0,\ldots,0)$, $\theta_2 = (0,1,0,\ldots,0)$, etc.

tardy vapor
#

oh

tardy vapor
#

like how do we multiple a number and a tuple?

dull void
#

think of it as a vector

tardy vapor
rare dock
#

it's probably component wise scalar multiplication and addition

tardy vapor
#

like if i have something like this:

#

how do i find it

#

if i treat it as a vector?

dull void
#

the 0 probably implicitly means the 0 vector, unless the alpha thingy is also a vector and that is the dot product

#

idk man this looks like advanced book and maybe nonstandard notation

dull void
#

then it must be zero vector

#

so just saying the ith component equals 0 there I am assuming

tardy vapor
#

are u sure its a tuple?

tardy vapor
dull void
#

I've never seen notation like that except in reference to an ordered n-tuple

#

but if it is some weird notation only used in niche sub area of math I don't know

tardy vapor

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

$10.36 an hour. What is the rate of increase on her salary.```

I am doing 10.36-9.25= 1.11/100 = 0.0111% as the increase rate?

but for some reason it says its 12%?
empty sapphire
#

so the rate of increase would be (new - old)/old to get a decimal. Then you multiply the that with 100 to get a percentage

#

you just forgot to divide by the old. Instead of the dividing by the old you divided by 100. So I think you just mixed up two ideas 🙂

How do I manipulate e in this situation? I know how to do questions using polynomials/rationals using the formula but I'm unsure of how to solve this. I can't show work as I just don't know what to do with e. :/

sharp vine
#

but what you're supposed to do, just find f(x) for given x's?

#

then use calculator

native briar
#

I actually don't know how to do a. but can typically do b. and c.

sharp vine
#

find Q, then use slope formula

#

finding Q is about plugging given x into f(x)

#

for example

#

for x = -0.1

#

,w 10e^(1/2*(-0.1))

sharp vine
#

now Q = (-0.1, 9.5123)

#

slope PQ = ...

native briar
#

Ah I see. And when it comes to f(x)-f(a) / x-a though I don't know how to manipulate Eulers. Should I look up laws or something? Could you point me in a direction as this is where I'm getting stuck:

sharp vine
#

eee

#

what are you trying to calculate

native briar
#

I'm trying to calculate the slope of the tangent line using the derivative formula (I hope that's the right name)

sharp vine
#

aa, it's about b) ok

native briar
#

Yes yes 🙂

sharp vine
#

well

#

firstly I'd take out 10 as constant

#

then you'll stay with limit

#

$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{0,5x}-1}{x}$$

glossy valveBOT
sharp vine
#

now let's substitute u = 0,5x
obviously if x -> 0 then u -> 0

#

limit becomes

#

$$2\lim_{u \to 0} \frac{e^{u}-1}{u}$$

glossy valveBOT
sharp vine
#

let's substitute
s = e^u - 1
u = ln(s+1) and s -> 0

#

it gives you

#

$$\lim_{s \to 0} \frac{s}{\ln (s+1)}=\lim_{s \to 0} \frac{1}{\frac{1}{s}\ln (1+s)}=$$
$$=\lim_{s \to 0} \frac{1}{\ln (s+1)^{\frac{1}{s}}}$$

glossy valveBOT
sharp vine
#

now I guess you see what we have here

sharp vine
#

since x = 2u

native briar
#

Yeah that clears it up a bunch. Thank you. 🙂

And for this did i do this right?

cyan wedge

cyan wedge
# elder lava

check the complex part, otherwise looks right (assuming it's subtraction)

#

it's not multiplication as I said before unless the subtraction sign is actually a negative sign

elder lava
#

Im confused

#

The problem is 25/4+3i

cyan wedge
#

oh

cyan wedge
elder lava
#

Ah ok

cyan wedge
elder lava
#

Ok and back to the first one

#

I have this

#

So far good?

#

Oops

#

No

cyan wedge
#

didn't distribute the negative properly

elder lava
#

-4-2i

#

Sorry

cyan wedge
#

yea thats right

elder lava
#

Ok and from there i distribute -4-2i to the parentheses?

cyan wedge
#

just subtract from 7+3i, yeah

#

if that's what you mean

elder lava
#

Oh no i was going to multiply

#

So when do u multiply

#

Bcz ik some problems ghats how u solve

#

Like this one

#

For example

cyan wedge
#

if it's like -(7+3i)(4+2i) then it's multiplication. If it's (7+3i)-(4+2i) that's subtraction. Put the negative sign in front, not in the middle. If you put it in the middle, that's bad notation.

elder lava
#

Lol the. Ig my teacher is bad at notations?

#

Thats how im presented to problem

cyan wedge
#

Or they just want you to subtract.

elder lava
#

Ah ok

cyan wedge
#

Yea, subtract for the first one, multiply for the second one

elder lava
#

Ok got it

#

So what is theres a + in the middle?

#

Thats the same as B

#

Like multiply

cyan wedge
#

that's just addition? there's no + in the middle for B though.

elder lava
#

Mmm nevermind

#

Ok thank you for your help

Please explain me the equation 19.

its basically saying this:\begin{align*}u_{n+1}&=u_n+hv_n\u_{n+1}&=v_n+h(7-u_n)\end{align*} ie, read off each row of the vectors

Can anyone solve c?

gloomy fulcrum
#

you've interrupted my question -_-

#

but anyways, anyone know how I can go about solving this?

#

it's to do with circular motion

west delta
#

for uniform ciruclar motion

#

you have

#

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

glossy valveBOT
#

Percy156

west delta
#

in this case, you want to solve for r, and your a_c is simply just g

#

so

Anyone?

$r=\frac{v^2}{a_c}$

runic root
#

Hello, the problem is to find the zeros of a given polynomial and roughly sketch the graph of P(x). In this case the polynomial is x^4 -3x^2 -4 which I have factored down to (x^2 + 1)(x-2)(x+2). To sketch the graph I noted the zeros at x=2 and x=-2 and that the end behavior is the same as x^2, however when graphing the polynomial in desmos it looks more like a W as shown below. My question is, what effect does the term (x^2+1) have on the graph of a polynomial (and similar terms) and how can I predict this effect without the use of graphing tools, any help is appreciated

@runic root Has your question been resolved?

But I don’t have any explanation for why this happens

runic root
#

so you mean if there is a term of (x^even power + constant) it will add this feature to the graph?

runic root
#

ok well if true that is very helpful, I can do some checks pretty easily to find out

#

thanks

#

hi there! Did you try the hint? Like for example, what happens for f(2, 3)? What about f(3, 2)?

#

no I mean what do you get when you try those two values?

#

it produces a single number 🙂

#

yep!

lilac valve
#

Consider the two possibilities: that x>y, or y>x. See what the absolute value does in each case

empty sapphire
#

now try, say f(12, 2) and f(2, 12)

lilac valve
#

then simplify for each case

#

that's not true for either of those instances

empty sapphire
#

I would double check that lol

lilac valve
#

Note how it always returns one of the original numbers

#

Yes, now what you have to do is prove it

#

Take it case-by-case. There are two possibilities: x>y, and y>x. For each possibility, try to simplify the expression by canceling out the absolute value

#

The expression in the absolute value is (x-y). If y is greater than x, what does the expression inside the absolute value look like after you apply the absolute value to it?

#

if x>y, then |x-y|=x-y, and if y>x, then |x-y|=y-x

#

So, you can simplify the expression for each of the individual cases x>y and y>x, yes?

#

so once you do that, it should be pretty obvious how you prove that this function returns the maximum value

#

Okay, for any case x>y:
f(x,y)=(x+y+|x-y|)/2
f(x,y)=(x+y+x-y)/2, because x-y is positive when x>y, so |x-y|=x-y
f(x,y)=2x/2, cancel out both y terms. y-y=0, and x+x=2x
f(x,y)=x, cancel out the 2s

question is "What is the value of x if"

#

how are you supposed to solve this

sand stone
#

have you learnt about geometric progressions

indigo aspen
#

a little bit

#

i just started learning them

sand stone
#

what have you learnt

indigo aspen
#

basic sigma stuff

#

sum formula

sand stone
#

sum to infinity formula

#

?

indigo aspen
#

yeh

#

that ONE ASWELLL

sand stone
#

so whats stopping you from applying it here?

indigo aspen
#

oop cap sorry

#

im not sure how to

sand stone
#

this is just a geometric sequence with sum to infinity is it not

#

hmm

#

try writing out the first three terms

#

of the sum

indigo aspen
#

of the sum?

sand stone
#

yeah

#

of the lhs

indigo aspen
#

right

#

ok

#

idk if i did it right but i wrote

#

4/x , 4/x^2 and 4/x^3

#

?

sand stone
#

yeah

#

so is this a geometric sequence

indigo aspen
#

yep

sand stone
#

whats the starting term

indigo aspen
#

4/x

#

and r would be 1/x

sand stone
#

whats the common ratio

#

yep

#

so whats stopping you from plugging those into the

#

infinite sum formula

indigo aspen
#

so tru

#

ty for helping

no problem

How to know if your answer is part of the solution in exponential inequalities?

still cove
deft zodiac
#

do u mean ( vs [

still cove
deft zodiac
#

( is excluding that value

#

[ includes

#

u can just plug it in to see if it fits

still cove
#

Yeah but how do I know if that number is included or excluded

still cove
deft zodiac
#

u literally plug it into the equation

#

like if weve

#

x>0

#

we can use

#

(0,inf)

#

then we can try

#

x=0

#

0=0

#

thus 0 is not >0

#

so its not included

probably not the most efficient way tho, not sure

#

on the left u got [(q ⇒ p) ^ s]
i believe there are actually only 3 cases where this is true,
in the other cases where this is false, something false implying anything else is always true
so u only have to check the three cases where (q ⇒ p) ^ s to make sure that in these cases the second statement is true

tulip bluff
#

Can someone help me graph a function? I'm lowkey confused on how to graph this. I j need a visual and I'll probaly get ut

tulip bluff
#

Limit as x approches 3 f(x) exists but f(3) is undefined

#

and then Limit as x approaches -4 f(x) does not exist

rapid rain
#

well, take for example : f(x) = cos(1/(x+4)) defined for x in ]-4,3[

tulip bluff
#

Wdym?

rapid rain
tulip bluff
#

yeah

tulip bluff
#

but on a graph

#

if that makes sense

rapid rain
#

ok lemme draw it

tulip bluff
#

thanks

rapid rain
#

Let's consider this function

#

As you can see, f(x) goes towards +infinity as x goes to 3

#

And yet f(3) is undefined because f can only output finite values

tulip bluff
#

okay that makes sense

rapid rain
#

Then, for -4

tulip bluff
#

so would we assume it goes on forever except 3?

rapid rain
#

"Goes on forever" ?

tulip bluff
#

Also, whats the rightmost line?

#

y would goto infinity and never reach x=3

rapid rain
#

Yes

tulip bluff
#

Ok. Whats the righmost line?

rapid rain
#

Oh it's only f(x) for x > 3

tulip bluff
#

How do we know it'll look like that?

rapid rain
#

? You don’t, you just asked for an example that works

tulip bluff
#

ohh okay I see

rapid rain
#

So, now for -4

#

If you look at the limit in -4 starting from the left, it's going straight to +infinity

#

But if you look at it from the right, it goes down to -infinity

#

So the limit is not defined at all

tulip bluff
#

so y is going to + infinity and x is going to -infinity

#

so f(x) DNE

rapid rain
#

y is going to +infinity from the left of -4, and y is going to -infinity from the right

tulip bluff
#

ohh I see

#

from the other side

rapid rain
#

So it's more than just f(x) DNE

#

It's lim[f(x)] in -4 DNE

tulip bluff
#

oh okay I get it

#

So for the rightmost side could that line thoertically just be anything? I'm not too sure how you'd find that

rapid rain
#

I mean you don’t even have to make your function go to infinity

tulip bluff
#

ok

#

thanks a ton for your help

I appriciate it

safe trench
#

Yes and?

bright trout
#

calculator says tftf, i have ftft

safe trench
#

Order doesn't matter

#

You are right

#

If you see carefully

#

Calculator did FFTT for p which is opposite for yours

#

And FTFT for q which is also opposite

#

But if you like at the first row F(p) and F(q) gave T

#

Which matches with your last row

#

And when you look at all the rows than they match

bright trout
#

ohhh

safe trench
#

So yours is correct

bright trout
#

true

#

okay, thank you for pointing that out i was very confused

#

one more related quesiton

#

in the tutorial on this stuff i saw we can suddenly add another letter, r, but they don't really explain what it is or where it came from

#

it's specifically the law of separability - an alternative mode of conjunction

safe trench
#

what do you know about p and q?

bright trout
#

translator screwed up the table,

safe trench
#

r is just another variable like p and q

#

You see this law is kinda like algebra distributive law

#

a(b+c) = ab + ac

bright trout
#

right

#

ohh so if we had another variable, like r, the table would be filled out for us like it is with p and q?

#

like you're not supposed to figure out r based on p and q

#

because everything after it i can totally work out like q ∧ r because you just compare those two already existing

safe trench
#

Yes

bright trout
#

gotcha, makes much more sense thank you, no more questions

I've tried solving this for a few hours, and I keep getting lost at the last part where I convert the "and" to "or" statements and vice versa

I'm supposed to prove that both sides are equal

Hi

full forumBOT
smoky cairn
#

i need help on the hypothesis tets for this q

#
  1. A clairvoyant claims that he can tell the suit of any card drawn randomly from a standard pack of
    52 cards, without of course seeing it face up.
    In a test, he succeeds with 4 out of 6 cards. Carry out a test at the 2.5% significance level, to see
    whether his claim is realistic.
#

so far ive stated trials = 6

#

so sample = 6

#

h0: he isnt claryvoiant and his chances should be 0.25

#

h1: he is claryvoitan and his chances are greater than 0.25

#

how do i move forward

full forumBOT
#

@smoky cairn Has your question been resolved?

torn jolt
#

P(X ≥ 4) = 0.0376 > 2.5%

smoky cairn
#

i dont see it on the chart

#

actually i do at the very end

#

so px>=4 can also be done as

torn jolt
#

P(X ≥ 4) = P(X > 3)

smoky cairn
#

1-f(x)

#

oh

#

ok ty ty

#

can i pls get help with anothr q? it'll be my last

torn jolt
#

or 1 - P ( ≤ 3)

smoky cairn
#

and ill be out of your hair lol

#

ahhh ok

torn jolt
#

no its fine to ask

smoky cairn
#

thanks so much ive been stuck on this for 2 days

#

the first part is like this

#

8.You have been given the task of finding student opinion on the wearing of school uniforms in the
sixth form. A number of different methods of collecting a sample are suggested to you. For each of
these determine what sampling technique it is and give at least one advantage and at least one
disadvantage. Remember to consider practical issues as well as mathematical ones.
(i) Select students at random from year 12 and year 13 in proportion with the total number of
students in each of these year groups.

#

also ive accepted the null hypotheses

#

since the value is greater than 0.025

torn jolt
#

So the answer would be at 5 cards, we would consider him as a claryvoiant (with a error of less than 2.5%)

smoky cairn
#

ok ok

#

ya that makes sense

torn jolt
#

There are two types of sampling methods: Probability sampling involves random selection, allowing you to make strong statistical inferences about the whole group. Non-probability sampling involves non-random selection based on convenience or other criteria, allowing you to easily collect data.

smoky cairn
#

can i ask u if im right to assume something from this question:
Clinical trials have found that 35% of patients are likely to suffer side-effects from a drug which
treats migraine. A GP prescribes the drug to 15 of her patients each month.
(i) Find the mean number of patients who will suffer side-effects each month.
(ii) Find the probability that in one particular month, fewer than 3 patients will suffer side-effects

#

ive calculated 15x355 for answer i

#

and for ii ive done this

#

one sec

#

<@&286206848099549185> am I right so far in my approach?

torn jolt
#

i)

smoky cairn
torn jolt
#

ii)

#

6.2%

#

oh wait, there has to be a two instead of 3

smoky cairn
#

so starting from 0-2 was correct?

torn jolt
#

yes

#

,calc 15!/0!15!0.35^00.65^15+15!/1!14!0.35^10.65^14+15!/2!13!0.35^20.65^13

severe basin

An urn contains 10 balls numbered from 1 to 10. We remove six balls randomly and add up their numbers. Let X denote the sum of the numbers of the removed balls. Find the expected value of X.

severe basin
#

It seems there would be too many cases to consider

#

Even if I pull out the C's, I'm quite unclear about how I would approach this question

onyx glen
#

you do not need to know the distribution of the sum of ball numbers

#

linearity of expectation makes this problem easy

severe basin
#

Hmm

onyx glen
#

consider your selection of balls from the urn as ordered, and let $B_i$ be the random variable representing the number on the $i$th ball, for $i=1,\dots,6$. then $X = B_1+B_2+B_3+B_4+B_5+B_6$ and $E[B_i] = 11/2$

glossy valveBOT
severe basin
#

That makes sense

#

I understand

#

But, How do I go about E[X] from here?

onyx glen
#

linearity of expectation

severe basin
#

To multiply by a 6?

#

No

#

It would be by 10C6

onyx glen
#

no, you're overthinking it again.

#

you know that for any two random variables X and Y (||under sufficiently "nice" but also technical conditions i don't want to mention||) we have E[X+Y] = E[X] + E[Y], right?

severe basin
#

yes

onyx glen
#

right

#

so if you know the expectation of each B_i

#

then surely the expectation of X would be their sum

severe basin
#

I'm not getting it, sorry

onyx glen
#

$$X=B_1+B_2+B_3+B_4+B_5+B_6$$ therefore $$E[X] = E[B_1] + E[B_2] + E[B_3] + E[B_4] + E[B_5] + E[B_6]$$

glossy valveBOT
severe basin
#

That is fine

#

So, does this mean 11/2 is the final answer?

onyx glen
#

no

#

11/2 is the expectation of ONE ball

severe basin
#

For 6 balls, it would be 33.

onyx glen
#

yes exactly

#

none of this "oh actually we multiply by 10C6 because i think it's wrong if no factorials ever appear" bullshit

severe basin
#

lol

If I may ask, Where are you from?

however I'm not sure how to determine what the value of y would be

plug in y=1

next abyss

in what

#

the derivative?

desert rain
#

yeah

next abyss
#

then what would x be

desert rain
#

solve 1st equation for x

gritty rose
next abyss
#

yea, y=1 doesn't make sense

gritty rose
#

you still need to find y(1)

next abyss
#

And I'm not sure how

gritty rose
#

plug in x=1

next abyss
#

y=ln(1+y^2)

full forumBOT

@next abyss Has your question been resolved?

<@&286206848099549185>

#

<@&286206848099549185>

worthy ginkgo
#

Okay so you need to compute y' first. Always remember that the y in the expression is still a function. Then plug x=1

next abyss
#

ok so I got

worthy ginkgo
#

Use the chain rule

next abyss
worthy ginkgo
#

Yea

next abyss
#

the one before is just more simplified

worthy ginkgo
#

Now plug x=1

#

You'll get an equation involving y'(1)

#

And you'll need to compute y(1)

next abyss
#

I just get

worthy ginkgo
worthy ginkgo
#

That's not what you get

#

You get

#

$y'(1) = \frac{2+2y(1)\cdot y'(1)}{1+y^{2}(1)}$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

worthy ginkgo
#

So of you have y(1) it's over

next abyss
#

Isn't that the same as what I did?

#

2y(1) is just 2y?

worthy ginkgo
#

y is a function

next abyss
#

where do the (1) come from

worthy ginkgo
#

You apply the function in 1

next abyss
#

ok, so how do I find y(1)

worthy ginkgo
next abyss
#

I would just get y=ln(1+y^2)

worthy ginkgo
#

$y(1) = \ln(1+y^{2}(1))$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

next abyss
#

so y is just ln(1+y^2(1)) at 1?

worthy ginkgo
#

No y(1) is that

next abyss
#

do I plug in ln(1+y^2(1)) in the derivative where y(1)?

worthy ginkgo
#

You study the function $f(t)= t - \ln(1+t^{2})$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

worthy ginkgo
#

You find that $y(1)$ must be equal to $0$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

next abyss
#

I just don't understand how we get to that conclusion

worthy ginkgo
next abyss
#

I'm not sure how I would do that

worthy ginkgo
#

Hint : show that it's always positive by computing it's derivative

#

That's its graph

next abyss
#

the derivative would be

worthy ginkgo
#

Yes

next abyss
#

oh I see

#

(2t)/1+t^2 will always be a number below 1

#

unless t = 0

worthy ginkgo
#

No it's negative between 0 and 1

#

But the minimum of f is in 1 where $f(1)=\ln(2) \ge 0$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

worthy ginkgo
#

So $\forall x \ge 0, f(x) \ge 0$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

next abyss
#

ok I see

#

I cant see how it helps though

#

because this involves implicit differentiation

worthy ginkgo
#

No

#

It helps because you know that $y(1)=0$

glossy valveBOT
#

black_couscous

next abyss
#

I don't know, still very confusing to me

gritty rose
gritty rose
#

and do you know how couscous got that equation?

next abyss
#

no clue

#

its what confuses me the most

next abyss
#

wont any value work
