Can someone help me get through this step by step? I have to write it out but im stuck on what to do to solve
there are standard formulas for this
well im asking here

I am trying to convert double integrals from Cartesian to polar. I understand the x=rcosθ and y=rsinθ.
Still I keep making mistakes somewhere.
A lot of effort to decipher.
@frigid kelp Has your question been resolved?
Apologies. Handwriting is not the best
The rectangular limits are
1<x<sqrt3
1<y<x
Which I need to convert into polar
However I simply don’t know how to

Will send a picture of my work so far in a moment, but I tried doing this problem by manipulating the inequality abs(fn(x) - 0) to show that it is less than all epsilon. I got stuck at finding an n s.t (1/2)^n < epsilon is always true so I'm not sure if I'm using the right method

An airplane lifts of 600 ft from the base of a cliff which is 125 ft tall. What is the minimum angle it can climb to clear the cliff?
How would I sketch this?
The wording feels weird...
it would be a triangle
draw the ground first
then the plane and the bottom of the cliff
then the top of the cliff
Like that?
yeah
Then can I do the tan(x) = 125/600
To solve for the angle
yup
Ok, can I tell you what I get?

How do I create a formula for a graph out of nothing? Like I have a description of it and a drawing but how do I get the formula
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
Bruh well idk how do close the other one
Ok there
Happy now bot?
So the discription of the graph I want to create is:
exponentially increasing up to a point then linearly continue then exponentially decrease up to a point and keep decreasing linearly infill 0 and then keep constant (cuz 0 is the lowest you can go)
It would then kind of look like this
And idk what exact values I want yet for like the linear parts and the “up to a point” values
So like can I make those configurable? Like diff variables

i think this question is really silly but still cant figure it out myself
e^ln(y)=e^a, well e^ln(y)=y=ln(e^y)
y=e^a
e^ln(y)=y=ln(e^y) this is the definition of ln, btw

what did I mess up
I keep getting -2/(n*Pi)
as a result
but it is wrong
<@&286206848099549185>
@twin herald Maybe check with an integral calculator? I can't look through that all at the moment
by that definition of f(x), f(5) should not be defined
but anyway
if you happen to know the fourier series for square wave you can graph it and then adjust stuff until it's the function
but ig that would be cheating
you integrate the function times sin(npix/2)
so that's int 0 to 2 of 2*sin + int 2 to 4 of 4*sin
and that gets the right answer
huh wdym
$\frac{1}{L}\int_{0}^{4}f(x)*\sin(\frac{n\pi*x}{2})dx$
zfnQRZJT
this
so what is it exactly
this one right
nvm I figured it out
still didn't get it
I got -4/(n*Pi)
this time
yeah that's right
well tbf
it does say 2k - 1, not n

any idea what could come next?
2 2 2 4 24 576 ?
whats the most obvious pattern
is there a logic for this?
yeah you can construct a polynomial that fits any finite sequence
I know that
which means it would fit 2 2 2 4 24 576 0
wouldn't be the simplest answer but it would be a, a pattern
I think its supposed to something of the form
a_(n+1) = f(a_n)
well that's clearly not possible
because 2 goes to 2 but then later 2 goes to 4
fails vertical line test
hmm, then maybe
a_(n+1) = f(a_n, n)
that's possible
1 1 2 6 24
this seems familiar
factorial
0! 1! 2! 3! 4!
2*0! = 2
2*1! = 2
2*2! = 4
4*3! = 24
24*4! = 576
576*5! = 69120

what is "theta" and "phi" here... i meant how did they arrive at conclusion that if we take tan (theta) or tan (phi) we will get this relation
Are you asking why θ = α2-α1?
no

are you asking about this?
no
i mean why we get this anle b/w two lines relation when we find tan (theta) here??

tobi.
you could start by getting rid of the square root
but Im not allowed to sqaure both sides right?
you are
no thats not an equivalent tranformation
why not?

In this exercise, once I have found "w", how can I obtain the ln(w)^1/2?
I have to use this formula
This is the answer

that I don't know how to do it
okay can you re-provide the question so that i wont get confused
its this one right
is this the question you are struggling on?
this is what I have done
But now I don't know how to do the ln(w)^1/2
I have to do the root and then, with the four solutions do the ln?
okay give me a second and let me try
Nimajneb
To calculate $\ln\sqrt{w}$ using the principal value of the logarithm, we have:
\begin{align*}
\ln\sqrt{w} &= \ln\left(\sqrt{e^{i\pi/3}}\right)
&= \ln\left(e^{i\pi/6}\right)
&= \frac{i\pi}{6} + 2\pi ni
\end{align*}
Nimajneb
ChatGPT answers
nope
the first part yes
to make sure
the e^itheta part is correct
since the online compiler is not working
second part im struggling
is it that its the angle of difference?
\begin{align*}
\ln(w) &= \ln(re^{i\theta})
&= \ln(r) + i\theta + 2\pi ni \qquad \text{(principal value)}
\end{align*}
where $n\in\mathbb{Z}$ and we have used the fact that the argument of $w$ can be any angle that differs from $\theta$ by a multiple of $2\pi$.
Nimajneb
\begin{align*}
\ln(w)^{1/2} &= e^{\frac{1}{2}\ln(\ln(w))}
&= e^{\frac{1}{2}\ln(r) + \frac{i\theta}{2} + \pi ni}
&= e^{\frac{1}{2}\ln(r)}e^{\frac{i\theta}{2}+\pi ni/2}
&= \sqrt{r}\left(\cos\frac{\theta}{2} + i\sin\frac{\theta}{2}\right)
\end{align*}
Im not sure if $e^{i\pi/2} = i$ and $e^{i\pi} = -1$. Maybe therefore, $\ln(w)^{1/2} = \sqrt{r}\left(\cos\frac{\theta}{2} + i\sin\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$.
Nimajneb
@vale karma
@torn jolt had to use chatgpt due to spanish
for first part
all other parts are mien
w = ±(cos(30°) + i sin(30°))
w = ± e^(i π/6)
ln(e^z) = z
If you remember this
Well using Euler's formula, we have:
$\cos(30^\circ) + i \sin(30^\circ) = e^{i\cdot30^\circ} = e^{i\pi/6}$
Therefore, i will rather write $w$ as:
$w = \pm(e^{i\pi/6})$
so exp function (exponential)
$w = \pm(\operatorname{cis}(\pi/6))$
Nimajneb
ok, I will try finishing it, thanks
By definition, the natural logarithm of a number $x$ is the power to which the base $e$ must be raised to obtain $x$, i.e., $\ln(x) = y$ if and only if $e^y = x$. In this case, $x=e^z$, so we have: $\ln(e^z) = y$ if and only if $e^y = e^z$. But since $e^z$ is the same as $x$, we can write this as: $\ln(e^z) = y$ if and only if $e^y = x$
I will now subsitute it $x=e^z$, we get:
$\ln(e^z) = y$ if and only if $e^y = e^z$
I think tbh $e^z$ is never negative (some rule i dont fucking know) we can take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation $e^y=e^z$ and get:
$y = \ln(e^z) = z$
Therefore, $\ln(e^z) = z$ for all complex numbers $z$.

If an object has variable mass giving by the function
$$M(v) = kM_0(v_o - v) \text{if} v < v_o \text{otherwise} 0$$ where v is is the velocity of the object in m/s, k is a constant with value 1 s/m.
$$M_0 = 10kg$$
$$v_o = 100 m/s$$
If the object is dropped from the height of 10m, how long will it take to reach the ground. (Assume g = 10m/s)
roxyit
$\dv{p}{t} = mg$
NEONPerseus
since g doesn't depend on M
Yeah I thought so too but I'm unsure about it
Nvm I think this is incorrect
2nd derivative of that would be acceleration my guess
can you just use kinematics equations for this
I think there's more to it tbh
By solving for $\int_{0}^{T} 10(100-v(t)) 10 dt = 10$ where $v(t)=10t+100$

How many possible triplets a,b,c are there such that ab=c, bc=a, ac=b, and all a, b, and c are real numbers?
a) 3
b) 5
c) 8
d) 9
would (x,y,y) be considered a different triplet from (y,x,y)
Im getting the ans as 4 🫠
It must be in form 2+3n
I just substitued c as a/b
consider b=0
Right
whaa
i got the value of everything as one 🫠
i suppose not... they didn't specify anything in the question
AH
why didn't i think of that before
yeah its sneaky hahah
yeah lol
wait what
the answer would be 3 right
0,0,0; 1,1,1; -1,-1,1
oh wait
-1,1,-1
1,-1,-1
yeah got 5 i suppose
this is a question from JEE mains
and it has negative marking
So during the exam I think I'd rather just skip the question
at this point i think it would be considered different

[ g(x,y)=\begin{cases} x^2+e^y & x=y \ y^2+ye^x & x \neq y \end{cases} ]
I wanna find the value of the partial derivative of g(x,y) w.r.t y at the point (1,1)
or to put that in less symbols, $g_y(1,1)$
Ann
The question actually has the same symbol in it, but I thought people would not know this notation
$\pdv{g}{y}$
Ann
I found the partial derivative of the first case and substituted the value in it
That seems wrong
sure is.
that formula only applies on the diagonal line y=x
while g_y(1,1) would need you to find the rate of change in g when going parallel to the y axis
I see working out the partial derivative of the second case and substituting values in it, gives the correct answer
But, I don't understand why that works
the region on which the second case applies is everything outside that one diagonal line
so going off of (1,1) along the y axis puts you in that region

I thought this graph had an asymptote at y=0, but it crosses the origin? Why is that, and how would I be able to tell?
I think it does have a horizontal asymptote at y=0
Yes, so why does it cross the origin?
what part of the definition of a horizontal asymptote states that the graph can't cross the horizontal asymptote?
I thought that the behaviour of an asymptote is that the graph will never touch that part of the graph, so if there is an asymptote at y=0, then there will never be a point on the graph where y=0. If that is not the case, then why, and how would I be able to spot that in the future?
this is true for the vertical asymptote
for the horizontal we care about lim x-> inf/-inf f(x) = ?
as the lim x-> inf and -inf (2x)/(x^2-4) = 0 , there is a horizontal asymptote at y=0
Closed by @unique grove

Hello! I need help with geometric sequence. I need to get the general term aₙ if a₁ - a₃ + a₅ = 651 and a₁ + a₇ = -325. I tried to solve it, and I will show my steps below, but I got stuck.
a₁ - (a₁ x q^2)+(a₁ x q^4) = 651
a₁ + a₁ x q^6 = -325
I could extract a1 from first formula but idk what to do after
@stuck swan Has your question been resolved?
divide 1 equation by the other
also you can find q^2 instead of q because all the powers are even
I'll try that, thanks

Determine the center and radius of the circle if the equation of the circle is x^2+y^2-10y=0
I know the center is 0, 0
But how do i get the radius
@viral jasper what is the center
Complete the square for y^2-10y
How do i do either of those things
Let's start simple
Typically when you have the equation for a circle the second term is (y-b)^2
What do you get if you expand (y-b)^2?
Nothing it's just y^2
y^2-2yb+b^2
If you follow along I'll show you how this helps you solve your question
We'll write 2by instead for the sake of simplicity. In your equation, you have y^2-10y. So, to match this, what b should you pick?
(ignore the +b^2 for now)
you'd have a lot fewer questions if you checked out a course or book, like was suggested yesterday multiple times: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:quadratic-functions-equations/x2f8bb11595b61c86:more-on-completing-square/a/completing-the-square-review
x^2
x^2? x shouldn't even come into play here
10y
5
Indeed
now complete the square by adding something to both sides
Considering the general form of equation of a circle makes it easier, no?
true
(y-5)^2 would give you y^2-10y+25. That +25 which is the +b^2 we were ignoring this whole time is going to be a problem... We should get rid of it, do you know how?
x=-y+5?
I still don't know what x is doing here
Plus we aren't looking to solve for x here
x is just a variable, not an unknown
-25?
Oh actually I guess you can have it equal to something dependent on y but whatever
Yes
This can help you answer the question without completing the square.
(y-5)^2 would give you y^2-10x+25, hence (y-5)^2 would give you y^2-10x+25-25=y^2-10x
Does everything so far make sense?
We do, but that only comes into play once we have the full equation in standard form
To recap, your equation had y^2-10y, which is not in the standard form for the equation of a circle. So, we used the fact that (y-b)^2=y^2-2by+b^2 and realised that b must be 5, which gives us (y-5)^2=y^2-10y+25. To get rid of that +25 and get back the equation we had at the beginning, we removed 25, which gave us (y-5)^2-25. The reason we did all this was to get something closer to the standard form for the equation of a circle, which is what we now have
Now your original equation becomes x^2+(y-5)^2-25=0
There is one last step to get this into standard form, do you see it?
we need to turn 25 into 2 * x * y?
I do not see it
What is the standard equation for a circle?
(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2
Right, and do you see how x^2+(y-5)^2-25=0 differs from the standard form?
If you did this it wouldn't be the same equation
well i still don't get the center

Okay?
...So what do you get if you move it to the right?
or the radius
Just
just
i-... What does the equation become of you do what you just said you should do?
x+y-5=5
the what
x^2+(y-5)^2=25
You must've eaten the squares
Ah there it is
Oh I see
You thought you could take the square root of both sides and the squares would all go away
Unfortunately sqrt(x^2+(y-5)^2) is not the same thing as sqrt(x^2)+sqrt((y-5)^2)
a²+b²=c² does not imply a+b=c
okay what do i do next
Well there is one last detail that makes this differ from the standard equation
-5
No, that's part of the standard form
25
Yeah, this isn't like in the standard form, how can we fix this?
5^2?
What's next
How do i read off the values
5
What is b?
5
And, lastly, what is a?
Hmmm I see this one is not as obvious
You'll feel stupid once you find out (I don't mean this as an insult)
For what value of a is (x-a)^2=x^2 for all x?
0?
Yep
r 5 and c 0,5
Mhm
Can you recap
Good idea
So we started with x^2+y^2-10y=0
Our goal was to transform this equation into the standard form, which is (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=0
First of all we noted that (y-b)^2 expands as y^2-2by+b^2
And hence concluded that we must match 2by with 10y, which is only possible if b=5
Also last time I mentionned this in the end but we can clearly see that a must be 0 here
(y-5)^2 expands as y^2-10y+25. We got y^2-10y as we wanted, but as a side effect an unwanted +25 popped up, so we canceled it out with a -25
This is how we figured out that y^2-10y=(y-5)^2-25
All put together, our equation is now x^2+(y-5)^2-25=0
To finish this off, we moved that 25 to the other side and wrote it as 5^2
Our final equation is x^2+(y-5)^2=5^2, which is in standard form, and hence we can just read off the values now
All you have to remember is that x^2=(x-0)^2
By the way, if you ever get something like (y+5)^2 where we have a + instead of a -, don't be fooled and read this off like a 5. It's secretly (y-(-5))^2, so the value you should read off is -5, not 5

<@&286206848099549185>
sin(A)cos(B)/cos(A)cos(B) = tan(A)
cos(A)sin(B)/cos(A)sin(B) = tan(B)
and same for bottom
distribute division
wdym
like first two in a fraction
plus the second two in a fraction?
you divided the numerator and denominator by something
you can distribute division over addition
divide each term by the divisor
(just like multiplication)
how did they know to do that
divide by that
what 😭
if you compare sin(A)cos(B) to tan(A)
you will see that the ratio is cos(A)cos(B)
and if you compare cos(A)sin(B) to tan(B) the ratio is the same
so you might start thinking
hmmm if you multiply the top by this thing it works maybe it works on the bottom
and so it does
and then you know it worked
i can also just
multiply
by that as well
right
like division it’s te sam etching

Can I get some insight on why my answer is wrong? Did I do the integral wrong?
again, I don't see any -11.58x term in f(x)
did you properly integrate f'(x)?
or did you integrate the version of f'(x) where C is 0
@brittle steeple right. I took my answer for the first question and integrated that. I then checked the integration with a integral calc and it is right but something is still wrong
its ok this website doesnt need to simplify
f(1) is supposed to be 8, right
and currently it is 2.75
so what do we need to add to it to make it 8
it simplifies by itself
-8
ah ok
so it's supposed to be -8
and currently it is 2.75, before we add a constant?
What happened to that -11.58x?
I'm referring to in your answer, on that webpage. Where is the -11.58x?

i cant do related rates
here is the question
GIVEN
FIND
EQUATION
a wompan who is 156 cm tall walks directly away from a street light that is 4.32 m above teh ground. when she reaches a point on the sidewalk that is 12.6 m away from the base opf the lightpost, her shadow is lengthening at a rate opf .85m/s how quickly is the woman walking
sry for my spelling mistakes
trying to type fast
156 meters tall? 
what's the rush
cm*
this is overdue for me
its pising me off i cant learn this
i want to learn it fast so i can get through a few assignments
"learning" and "fast" are usually antithetical.
yes
and if you are pissed, you will have a harder time learning.
but it needs to be done
yes
some people told me to step away from it after 10 mins
that made me even more mad
anyways
what i did
is create a triangle
used similar triangles
i found the distance at that moment from the woman to the end of the shadow to be 7.12 m
i have no idea what to do now
its gonna be some pythag then take deriv
but i dont know what to compare
You understand that most people who said this, they meant it as a chance to give yourself a break, so you can feel more refreshed and start over with a clearer mindset, right?
yes, but been trying for days
its a new day for me
i need to try again
got a diagram?
yes
sec i need to turn on the wifi
also one thing to note
i dont know if i even labelled things correctly
which is likely why its wrong
^
sorry my internet shit itself
np
the length of the shadow is w not S
i dont understand that though
since dw/dt is the speed of the woman
your notation is incorrect
the shadow is on the ground
its length is the length of that horizontal segment you labeled w
ok i see that
but where is the woman
like the place to calc the speed
i dont get how it would be in the air
or is that just not it
i'm on a train so can't rly draw the correct diagram unfortunately.
could you please describe it?
sure.
draw a horizontal line to represent the ground. on it, mark in order from left to right two points P and Q; mark the length of PQ as 12.6.
from P, draw a vertical line PL upward to represent the lantern. from Q, draw a vertical line QW upward to represent the woman; mark PL and QW with their lengths.
extend LW to meet PQ at R.
the shadow will be QR.
alright it looks the way you described it now
ill send it
the shadow should be proportional to the distance between the lantern and the woman
iirc
yes the ratio works
but now i dont know what to solve for
well thats a lie
i know what to solve for
but i dont know the equation
How would i find it
?
so you found QR = 7.12
so then the shadow is (7.12/12.6) times the distance from the lantern
so their rates of change are proportional too
with the same ratio
how will this help though?
literally you know the relationship between their rates of change
so then .85 /that ratio?
why would i even be dividing tho
it gives 1.5m/s
which is a correct answer
but im not sure why im dividing
try to write the "the ratio" as d something/d something
Im not sure
because im just comparing base lengths of the triangle
do you know what that ratio represents? Can you explain it in natural language?
$d(b_1)frac/d(b_2)?$
Caleb.
the length of the lightpost to the woman compared to the length of the woman to end of the shadow
12.6/7.12 * ds/dt = dw/dt
well so the equation is all you need, ds/dt is 0.85
and since length of shadow is proportional to distance of the woman from lamp, 12.6/7.12 represents also dw/ds. So dw/ds*ds/dt=dw/dt, since ds cancels out. So the equation you wrote is true
wow ok
i didnt realize that
very cool

Bit lost on how to start this
You can expand this at x = 1.
you'd get tan^(-1)(1) = expansion at 1.
And the lhs would be pi/4 and depending on how good you want the estimation, write as many terms.
What exactly do you mean? I got what the expansion overall is but not sure how to relate that to pi or 1/5
tan^-1(1) = pi/4
And the rhs would be the expansion at x = 1
So if you can approximate pi that way.
Ah interesting, I think I see what you mean. But is there any way to specifically relate it to 1/5 or do I just have to put enough terms so that we can just see that the error is lower?
Personally, I would say the latter. Unless of course someone else has another way.
no lagrange error bound or anything?
This was the best I had.
Ah ok. Thank you

Is this solved correctly
The task is to draw Set S
Is this how I do conj(z) with Arg?
@vague cradle Has your question been resolved?
So your question is this right?
Just a confirmation
i.e. find the geometric interpretation of the set S on the complex (aka Argand or Gauss) plane
this is meant to say region instead of locus

quick question, if I have a power tower, as in x^x^x... and the whole thing square root. If i write the root as power, ^1/2 is placed at the base of the tower or top?
$\sqrt{x^{x^{x}}}$
LILY
You multiply the exponent of the base by 1/2
$=x^{\frac 1 2}^{x^{x}}$

oh god not one of those
I tried to take the difference bet 2 terms but cant quite find a result
you cannot hope to arrive at an answer here except by guessing.
I sent it to chatGPT but it found out -25, -17
surely
i made it calculate my final grade of all the subjects and it failed to sum the terms haha
it is very very bad.
you can make it more accurate: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/techniques_to_improve_reliability.md
bandaid measures, surely.
