ah
i have to write a narrative on this paper so can I say "A riemann sum can be performed because as N approaches infinity, the sum becomes more and more precise" @vast fossil @stable plover

which are the positive integers that can be written as the difference of 2 cubes
There are like... many
ik but if it were all odd numbers for example then i coul;d just say all odd numbers
that's not true I read wrong
i know im just suing it as an exmaple
any odd can be written as a difference of 2 cubes
well if it's true then it's true
what're you asking exactly
like every odd number and multiple of 4 can be written as a difference of 2 squares
but how about cube numbers
that's not true
isnt it
it's not
wait lemme re-read what ur saying
are you trying to say that if u have two odd numbers squared that the difference of those will be a multiple of 4?
bc then that's true
im trying to say that every multiple of 4 and every odd number can be written as a difference of 2 squared
squares
an odd number is a difference of 2 squares, always
yeah
im asking about cube numbers in my question
which are the positive integers that can be written as the difference of 2 cubes
yeah i wanted to say
they focus on sum
and claim that difference is also characterized in the process
idk, no answer
its kinda confusing
i observed that every 4th prime number can be written as a difference between 2 consecetive cubes
but how do i prove it

i need help with 6 (a)
how am i supposed to calculate the corresponding change in y if the change in x is 4.2
you should know the definition of slope as $m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

Green PFP moment

9(x^2 - 6/9x - 1/3) = 9((x-3/9)^2 - 1/3 - 9/81)
what in the
complete the square
can u put in in texit
i just factored out 9 at start
u'll have 9((x-3/9)^2 + C)
then turn that into
(3x-1)^2 + C
and solve for c
$9x^2-6x-3$
hibyehibye
$9(x^2 - \frac{6}{9} - \frac{1}{3}) = 9[(x-\frac{3}{9}^2 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{9}{81})$
$9x^2-6x-3 = 9(x^2 - \frac{6}{9}x + \frac{1}{3})$
huh
wat
sorry i gotta get my head around it
hibyehibye
then complete the square for this
and u can expand the 9 into the parenthesis
right right
u'll get something like
gimme a sec
$(3x-1)^2 + C$
hibyehibye
$9(x - 3/9)^2 = (3x-1)^2$
hibyehibye
What about vertex formula?
wats that
-b/2a
@modern mountain
$(\sqrt{a}x-\frac{b}{2a})^2 + Z$
and just find Z i guess

confused
lets say luis' elevation is L, and greg's elevation is G
for their elevations to be equal, L has to be equal to G right?
so L = G
so add there t values?
if you replace L with 480 - 15t and G with 200 + 5t you can solve for t
it would be 480 - 15t = 200 + 5t
14t?
you have to move the t's to one part and the numbers to another

when given a function f which resolves around an axis x if the function f is for example x^2 then you could imagine that at any altitude x it forms a circle with a radius of x^2. So the area of the cross sectional area at any x is pi*(x^2)^2. Then the integral can be calculated by integrating from interval (a, b) on x to give the volume. This all makes sense but what I do not understand is how this logic still holds for more complex functions. For example, sin(x) with x on the interval (0, pi). When revolving this function around the x axis it creates a sorta bridge. But you can still just plug it into the area of a circle and integrate and still get the correct answer? How come this works? How come you dont have to break it into parts and compute monotone sections of it at a time?

What did I do wrong? Why is it -1.4, 3.4 instead of 1.4, -3.4 like it looks more like on the graph?
How did you simplify that fraction?
Divide and turn to decimal
How did you do it? Because I got -1.4
Right there, in the work, you factored out a -1, and you forgot to change the sign for +2x, to be -2x
Wait how would it become -2x?
Because you factored out a -1 from both terms

well for 3 GC = PT
I think
I think so
a parallelogram
has 2 opposite and equal sides
2 pairs of
opposite and equal sides
what is m
thats what im confused about
well
i think it would be 180-109
but im not sure
if its asking for the TOP RIGHT angle then
it will be 180 - BOTTOM RIGHT
opposite angles are equal in parallelogram
so bottom right angle = top left angle
and bottom left angle = top right
bottom left is 180- bottom right because angles in a straight line add up to 180
i think?
yes
if u have bottom left
thats equal to top right
opposite angles in this case are the same
in parallelogram

How do you get the points (-6, 10) and (10, -2)
substitute -6 for x
ig they just chose a random number
you could also think abt the perfect cube roots
8 and -8 for example
so to get x - 2 to equal -8, x=-6 is a nice number to work with

Yep
which line are you referring to
from second line to the third line
ah i see
Its more like

In triangle ABC, points M and N lie on sides AC and BC respectively.
a) If MN || AB, MN = 4 cm and CM : MA = 3 : 2, find AB.
I proved that the two triangles are similar, but then I can't think of how to find AB
You already got it if u proved that the two triangles are similar
But do you have any idea what the ratio (length) of the bigger triangle is?
no, I only have the proportions so CM is 3x and MA is 2x, I only know MN 4cm
yeah the proportion
That's what i'm asking
And what is the overall proportion of CA
5x
but its not 5 santimiters its 5 of something
its lont like the 4
yeah
thats why im typing it with x
yes
While MC = 3x
yes
so 4 cm/ 3x = BA/5x
And what would you guess, the x were cancelled
leaving us with?
NO WAY IT WAS THAT
I cant believe how dumb am I
I spent the past hour trying to figure it out bc I didnt know that here the x cancels
yeah u were overcomplicating too much stuffs
I though that the 4 and 5x were different
You can just substitute it either with any values
Damn
no but bc the 5x is not 5 cm its 5 times scaled up and the 4 is the exact cm and thats what I though they were different
Yeah but since they're the same shape, even if x is any number you can still get the lengthof BA
thanks so much
ur welcome

Im trying to work out this integral, I've attached my written answer and I've attached the ms answer, they are different functions, however when checking with my calculator they both yield the same answer. Checking in desmos shows that they are different graphs, so are both the answers right? And if so how come you can have multiple different functions be the correct answer to an integral?

Does anyone know why it says (-infinite,infinite) ?
Shouldnt it be (-3/4,-1/4) ?
Thats the part where they overlap
i don't know mathematic's 😦
The absolute value can never return a negative number
it will always be 0, or larger
😢
so when we are solving for all x that make the inequality true
it is truly all values of x
because 0 is always greater than -1/2
1+1=2
So what would i do now
Like whats the solution lol
well
x can be anything
so a way that you could write the solution is
-inf < x < inf
Is there a reason for that
The reason is , the inequality is saying
for what values of x
is the absolute value of (2x+1) greater than negative 1/2
We reasoned that, because the lowest the absolute value can ever be is 0, since it can never be negative
that x can be anything
any number
however large or however small
it will always make the absolute value of (2x+1) > -1/2

and a is vector representing the class average for each exams
well yeah but is there a deeper meaning?

If I have a circle with the radius of 12 and a square that has the same side length and that square is inside the circle, how do I find the area of the circle that is not covered by the square
I swear I'm going crazy
The circle's area should be bigger after calculating
But for some reason the square is bigger
Something is wrong
So what’s the area of the circle u found
Square can’t have same side length as circle radius btw
It’ll have the diagonal length = radius but not the side
U mean 452?
Yeah (rounded)
How would I get the length of the square then?
If I made it a triangle same answer
ah
Basically the side length is just the radius
But the line in the middle is straight 90 degree
Makes sense
No
🤔
.
What are u confused abt
The diagonal length of square = radius of circle
Side length of square is not = radius of circle
yeah
Do u know the ratio of sides in that type of triangle
2:1?
damn bro my head
The diagonal length is the same as the 2 side lengths right?
this shouldn't even be that hard
No
I mean u can use trig if u want
But using triangle properties is much simpler
Here

What are u confused abt
I swear
only thing I need
is the side length of the square
to get the squares area
but
my brain
is confused
This is exactly how u get it lol
somewhere
So if the ratio of sides in such a triangle is $x : x : x\sqrt{2}$ and our triangle has a hypotenuse of 24, see how u can figure out the side lengths
Stephen
I swear trig looks simpler
Ok we can do that then
So we know the angles
And the hypotenuse
Just find the side lengths
It’s all based on the same thing, really
Yea about 16.97
What does the X stand for in this formula it's like a new light
Just watch a video on it one of these days
Length of a side
ah
Straight to Khan Academy 🤣
the simpler things in life are always the most complicated

bro
I just
figured it out
all that
down to 1 second
of realisation

Don't know how to get vertex from function
When I tried I got f(x) = -16(t - 3/2)^2 + 263/4
,w expand -16(t - 3/2)^2 + 263/4
,calc 68*4
Result:
272
wait so what I got was right?
it expands to
ok, I'm really dumb. doesn
doesn't*
68 - (-3/2)^2 = 68 - 9/4 = 68 - 9/4 = 68(4)/4 - 9/4

@nova forum Has your question been resolved?
Ah no ur already right here
This is ok now
that is the standard form for quadratic equation
and this is how it is written
y = a(x-h) + k
where (h,k) is the center
so my equation for the standard form is right?
yes
ok thanks 🥳
Since it is -16t^2 we can visualize that the equation is going downwards

do you know about derivatives?
no
hmm. well what you need is to find the point(s) where the curve $y=3x+\f{2}{x}$ has the same slope as $y=x+c$. once you do this you can set the two equal with said value of $x$ to find what $c$ must be. i just dont remember how to find the slope of the curve without derivatives
Duh Hello
issue is im not sure how to do it with the techniques that you know
unfortunately derivatives isnt something that can just be taught in 10 min over text
usually you spend half a year learning about them
thing is you need to do the slope part first then follow up with finding the constants
the other order doesnt work
if i tell you that there are 2 points, $x=1$ and $x=-1$ where the curves have the same slope would you be able to find $c$ in both of these cases?
Duh Hello
using y=mx+c?
well you already know that the tangent line, $y_1=x+c$ and you know that when $x=1$ and $x=-1$ the tangent line will just barely touch the curve $y_2=3x+\f{2}{x}$, hence when $x=1$ and $x=-1$ then $y_1=y_2$
Duh Hello
i gave them a bit different names here since calling them both "y" will just be confusing
could you write the full equation that you have?
x+c=3x+2/x?
and which variable are you solving for?
c
so what can you do to get c to be the subject?
c=3x+2/x-x
c=3x+2?
not quite
im confused with fractions with unknowns
what you say there is that $$\f{2}{x}-x=2$$
Duh Hello
you just keep the fraction there, you dont need to do anything with it
but we know that $3x-x=2x$
Duh Hello
how bout the c
since we know that $3x-x=2x$ we can rewrite $$c=3x-\f{2}{x}-x$$ to $$c=2x-\f{2}{x}$$
Duh Hello
what do i do after?
well now you can just plug in the values for $x$ that we "magically" know are true. the issue with this exercise is im not sure how you are supposed to show this
Duh Hello
perhaps i could show the answer given
Duh Hello
sorry about that
the answer is c=±4 from the textbook
yep, once we plug in $x=\pm1$ we get $c=\pm4$
Duh Hello
nope, just in this case
oh alr
again. sorry that i cant help you with finding that
but how do i know that?
how do i know that in this case x=±1
first: to plug in the x's we have $$c_1=2(1)+\f{2}{1}=4$$ $$c_2=2(-1)+\f{2}{-1}=-4$$ $$c=\pm4$$ for your next question ill get a way to ask it for you in a more precise manner. if you open a new channel with this same question and ask "How can I find when the slope of the curve y=3x+2/x is the same as the slope of the tangent line y=x+c without using derivatives" then maybe someone else can help you
Duh Hello
so probably just close this channel, open a new one with the same picture and ask:
"How can I find when the slope of the curve y=3x+2/x is the same as the slope of the tangent line y=x+c without using derivatives"
since im just not sure how to do that
and then maybe someone else can help you there
alr sorry for bothering
nah no worries, honestly i should know how to do this but its been a long time and the later methods you learn are much faster so its easy to forget the old tricks

i have only applied cramers rule when 2 eq are given of 2 variables
how do you do this?
by guessing what all of this notation is supposed to mean
presumably those are supposed to be the determinants that you'd calculate when applying cramer's rule, only they're given to you outright instead of left as computation.
so how do i solve it
help
learn telepathy and get into the author's mind
or maybe read the textbook and see how it explained cramer's rule, and take note of the notation it uses
and act accordingly.
ok sure
I honestly clue what the notations means
ok
maybe give some more context
as in more context for the notation
determinats | | sign
Yeah, so if you want people to help you you need to come in with actual work and a specific question.
alright, what's A, B1 and B2?
matrices
and what's the cramer rule?
ok sure
its a way we solve questions of matrices
cramer's rule is the whole thing where you replace a column and take the determinant
to solve a system of linear equations with a unique solution
I'm assuming B_1 means A with the first column replaced with b
but you should check on what the notation means
notation means det
determinannt
variable ]
nobody knows what x, and y are
ofc bro u i see tags in profile
is that the whole question being asked?
yes
variables
that's not helpful
what are x and y in the context of this problem?
solutions to the system of linear equations?
I think your question is incomplete
yeah I would think so too
ok
surely someone's defined what B_1 and B_2 are before
I'd conjecture it's A, but with the first and second columns replaced
but you need to actually check on that

Solve mean value of f(x) = x^n for cases: (a) n=1, (b) n=2, (c) n is odd and (d) n approaches infinity
I have solved (a) and (b) by mean value theorem
the mean value of the function I found is:
$\frac{1+(-1)^n}{2n+2}$
\frac
use \frac
Diesel
how should I solve c and d?
what exactly do you mean with mean value. do you have an interval you are working with?
then your expression looks right
@safe trench Has your question been resolved?
what are you still wondering about?
surely plugging in n odd and taking the limit n->infty of that expression is doable
@safe trench Has your question been resolved?
how?
what is (-1)^odd
-1
what is 1+(-1)
yeah
and what about approaching infinity?
I mean depending on how overkill you wanna do it, squeeze theorem I guess
well I would assume they only mean n positive
for n negative the function isnt even defined at x=0

Is this true for all trig functions? All trig functions are composite therefor we must use chain rule on them to find the derivative?
you are always applying the chain rule, with every derivative
there is no such thing as a division of functions into "composite" and "not composite"
Hmmm
even f(x)=x^2 , you first apply power rule = 2x and then you apply the chain rule (derivative of x) = times 1
the second step of chain rule when the function is just an x is kinda pointless because it is a multiplication of 1
With sin(x) I guess it feels more obvious as f(g(x)) because there is an outside function sin and inside function x
that makes sense
there's almost 0 chance it'll be useful to think of sin(x) as a composition of two functions
I thought this is called the General Power Rule, like a “fourth” derivative rule of the Chain Rule combined with the Product Rule
well ANYTHING can be viewed as a composition with the identity function
what is the "General Product Rule"?
^ I've never heard of that
that's just a stupid name for chain rule
chain rule but it feels extra
real sub-rule
what?
doesn't quite count as a fourth rule, but it has a name in math
it's called the General Power Rule
a name nearly no one uses 🤷
What exactly is your question, or your point?
just getting clarification on the math terminology
i wish semantics were this important, but they aren't
ok. Technically sin(x) is a composite function , it is probably near useless to think of it as one though.
Why tho?
It's important to know, you can't just take the derivative of the entire expression "sin(x^2 + x)"
you can
its cos(x)
and there you go
now that's something that would typically be referred to as a composite function
I thought you gotta take the derivative of the outside function, and the derivative of the inside function, and multiply together? f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
that's exactly what you do. whats your point?
so sin(x^2 + x) is not cos(x^2 + x)
no but we were talking about sin(x)
yeah I am aware of how the chain rule works
not sin(x^2 +x)
sin(x^2+x) is a composite function, so you must apply the chain rule
thats a different function entirely
oh, I get what you are saying now
cos(x) is not worth looking at as a composite
but cos(x^2 + x) is
yes
alright
fyi
this is how Professor Leonard teaches it too, with the extra "General Power Rule"
also try getting into Leibniz notation from now imo rather than Lagrangian, as a personal recommendation
helps you a lot more for the future
d/dx?
I thought this was Newton syntax, not Lagrangian syntax
the way that extra ''' are added
please god do not use newton's notation
wow
I was taught wrong
I was thinking Langrange syntax was Newton syntax all this time
[
\parens{\map{f}{\map g x}}^{'} = \map{f'}{\map g x} \cdot \map{g'}{x} \longrightarrow \dv[y]{x} = \dv[y]{u} \cdot \dv[u]{x}
]
well i think it is better for when you get into multivariable stuff so
I've never seen Euler syntax before
that shows up in math most people don't take
I've heard some people use Lagrange with numbers instead of ''' prime symbols
for higher order derivatives that is the notation used
Leibniz does seem the most efficient..
won't confuse a prime for power 1 or something silly
Newton is doing Hieroglyphics
seems really funny to represent the integrals using Lagrange or Newton's; you just guess the variable of integration yourself haha

I need some help factoring
well my go to here is always guessing
more often than not we have nice numbers anyway
if we think about it visually, at x=0 we have y=-7
however 2x^2 and 13x both have a positive slope
therefore the graph will rise indefinitely as x rises
therefore we must have a positive root
now lets just guess x=1
we get:
2+13-7=7
which is not 0
so lets go in between
for example 0.5
if we have found a root we can find the other one via polynomial division
alternatively we can just use complete the square to find the roots
alternatively we can just use the formula for the roots
@shadow storm Has your question been resolved?
three options:
-guess a root
-complete the square
-use a formula
What if I were to write 13x as a difference and factor 2x out of the equation
So instead of 13x it would be 14x -x
And then it would be 2x(x+7)
@scenic wren
what
no
that doesnt work
that would imply that x=0 and x=-7 are the two roots
you can check that this is not the case
Ok ok but stay with me here
I did the equation that way and I this is what it showed
@scenic wren
I used a function calculator and yeah I got it right
