kinda
like
you understand the x axis are the points you choose, and the y axis are the points that get produced in a sense right?
yes
ok great
so you understand here that for the first one we have (0,0), (1,1), (2,4) as points and for the second one (0,0), (1, 3), (2, 12) right?
I do understand
ok
so compare (2,4) and (2,12)
on the x axis, they are on the same point x
but its obvious that the second one is much bigger than the first in terms of the y-values correct?
think about it this way
you have (-100000000)^3
what do u think that would be equal to? (dont actually calculate it)
ok so do you know the fact that like
[
(-x)^n = x^n \q \txs{if} n\tsx{is even} \
(-x)^n = -x^n \q \txs{if} n\tsx{is odd}
]
Okay i think this will be a bit hard for me because i think you have a lot of background info missing. Would you like me to link you some Khan academy videos to study from instead?
give this a go
thank youuu for your time and effortt T-T!!

Are Boole, event, and set algebra equivalent?
Boole algebra has to do with binary values, true and false. Set algebra focuses on elements, while event algebra is concerned with probabilities of outcomes of events.

how to?
hint :- cos(60)-sqrt3/2
What
that is true right
so i replace the sqrt(3)/2 with cos(30)
use cos(pi/6) because radians are better

I need help proving this
I got here
dang that looks annoying
Are you solving this question independently of the previous questions
You are making this kind of annoying by cropping things so that you remove all context of how these problems are being built up
they are put in a word document very randomly
so you have to either span over in 4 places xD
or just at the cropped part
well these exercises were not related until now
the only knowledge base was Vandermonde's determinant
If you just want to show that identity is true, just use the vandermonde identity you apparently already have on the right side and then apply the rule of sarrus on the left side and apply polynomial long division on the vandermonde part. But I get the feeling with your arbitrary cropping that you are not getting the intended learning outcome from this.
@tropic wedge Has your question been resolved?
Understand what exactly
Needed for what
needed to modify the left side's determinant
with column / row additions or subtractions
so I can get the same determinant as in the right side
this is what I got no idea how to modify
I got here

Why does it work this way?
Why does dy/(y-1) become ln, while dx becomes an antiderivative?
because ur integrating both sides with respect to each variable
integrating 1/y-1
u get ln(y-1)
because the derivative of ln(y-1) is 1/y-1
But where did the dy go?
the c u found using the initial condition of y(0)
I mean shouldnt there also be a c when you integrate dy/(y-1)
because there are infinitely many functions that have that same derivative
but they combine to make one C
so u don’t have to put it on both sides
if u added C to both sides u still have a constant
so just add it to one
Ok heres another question, why does e^x+c become Ce^x?
use exponent rules
e^(x+c)=(e^x)(e^c)
but e^c is just a constant
so u can call it C
remember these constants aren’t all the same constant
it’s just a constant
Ok i see
u can differentiate between the constant by adding subscripts
Weird how it works though
Thanks @knief
to show they’re not the same

are there values of a and b so that the equation sqrtroot (t+a) = b has more than one solution
help?
how do i even start this?
do i square both sides?
t+a=b^2?
but its asking for more than one solution
for values of a and b
well it asks whether there are such values a,b
What's t
@harsh elk Has your question been resolved?
a variable
Oh more than one solution in t
Easier way to do this is to just plot
what do u mean?
Plot y=b and y=sqrt(t+a)
What
can u tell me if i can do it algebriaclly?
Yes it's here.
i dont get that tho
Why not
because i dont understand it
Why
You got the bottom equation
maybe his wording?
if you know a and b then you can calculate t
i dont understand why this is important
He just subtracted a from both sides
yea
why a?
.
im not getting it
Do you get this?
no
Well you should always understand the problem and what it's asking for before doing any work
i dont understand why ur including t into it
when its asking only for a and b
That's what the question is asking for
More than 1 solution in t
its asking for a and b vlues
where?
are there values of a and b so that the equation sqrtroot (t+a) = b has more than one solution
Implied from the question
see a and b
gl = good luck

Hello
Probably "Q is defined to be equal to this integral"
Does that make sense with the context?
@swift fulcrum Has your question been resolved?
If not, you might want to post more context
Do you have an idea what Q might mean?
Yeah I think it just means "defined to be equal".
Ohh I see
Q is specifically change in charge from t0 to t in this notation
Are you in engineering btw
No I'm not

add up the 4 unit exams
that is a total of 400 points
since the final exam is worth 200
the total 5 exams will be worth 600 points
for him to get a B he must be in the range of 80-89
the average of the exams
would be the total score/5
or wait so u need
no yea that works
add the 4 exams
Like this?
[
\text{Overall percentage} = \frac{\text{Total points from unit exams + Final exam score}}{\text{Total possible points}} \times 100
]

[
\text{Overall percentage} = \frac{344 + 136}{600} \times 100

yes
- For F (136 points): 80%
- For G (156 points): 83.33%
- For H (166 points): 85%
- For J (176 points): 86.67%
- For K (196 points): 90%
So it is K?
yes because 90% isn’t in the 80-89 range
196 would give a 90
which isn’t a B
it’s an A

Tried a) but I couldn't get the answer
I added two integrals but I couldn't solve the first one
do you need integration for this?
tbh this looks very solvable without it
how would you do them both then
couldn't you work out the earnings by 60000(0.5)+45000 for the first 6 months then add 75000(0.5) for the second half of the year?
whats the answer?

@tribal stratus hi
So, an integral is the correct approach.
Ok so phew yea
The key is "continuously compounded"
The other option would be discretely compounded which would involve the use of a rather awkward formula.
right
if it's continuously compounded
I have the formula
but I'm not sure how to integrate
I posted my two calculations above
but I couldn't figure out what to do with them
So you'll want to do integration by parts
Yup
I have a class in a bit- but once I'm done I'll try it out
yea ofc
this channel might close, you mind if I dm you once I have it figured out?
I don't mind, but I also cannot promise to be available
that is fine
I'll try it right now

can someone please teach me how to divide using inspection
@oak bluff there's a theorem (rational root theorem) that says that if a polynomial has a rational root, then the factors of the polynomial: (ax - b), will be comprised of the prime factors (or 1) of the first and last coefficients of the polynomial with or without a negative sign. That is, any factor of your example polynomial up there will need a to be +/-3 or +/-1. And b will need to be +/- (1, 2, 4).
This gives you only a handful of possibilities to test.
i know how to get the (ax - b)
but after that i dont know how to solve to get the "3x^2 - x - 4) part
That's the same thing, though you can just use the quadratic formula instead.
how so? don't i have to divide 3x^3 + 2x^2 -5x -4 by (x + 1) like in the example?
i heard theres a different way tho
if you remember how to do long division for numbers, it's really quite similar.
inspection
yeah, however that one is prone to sign errors
this "inspection" this is elusive
I would argue that attempting to do polynomial long division by inspection is much more fraught with sign errors
at least in the general case.
but how would i execute it?
Essentially, you do long division in your head
ah
like, generally, if you can do a polynomial division by inspection, there's normally a trick
so for the long division, i have one question; do i divid x then the number that follows before moving onto the next number or do i do both
like dividing (x^n - 1) by (x - 1)
if that makes sense
I'll try to type up an example.
actually I'll write up an example.
and post the picture, one moment
that would be great thank you
ahhh, yeah i think i remember what im talking about, not sure if waht im talking about is inspection
In q3c
Im not sure what that is
,rotate
ah, that only specifically works for going from 3 -> 2. You set up an unknown coefficient in the middle, then figure out what it has to be.
You can do it from 4-> 3, but then you have two unknowns, and two equations, and so on.
?
It works, never seen it done before, but it makes sense.
3 -> 2 meaning degree 3 to degree 2.
from 3 -> 2? i dont understand
x^3 to x^2
what is a degree?
ahhh
[power

Problem 1) Let f(x) = P(x) if x ≤ 0 and Q(x) if x > 0
a continuously differentiable function whose function values and derivatives at the points x = −1 and x = 2 agree with the respective function values and derivatives of the function g(x) = x to the power of 3. Let P(x) and Q(x) be polynomials of degree at most 2.
Determine P(x) and Q(x).
Note: Here you can use your previous knowledge from school to derive quadratic functions. That’s my task and I can’t find anything helpful. Please help me
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
Between 2 and 3
Ok can we see your work so far?
So you have set up f(x) as a cubic?
Sorry my English is not the best but you mean with cubic x to the power of 2??
x^3
Yeah that was my problem in the digitally written, that’s my I made the other one because it seems to be wrong
Ok, cool
So your second image seems like the right approach, but it's a big question, 6 variables and 6 equations
So let's take stock, you know all 6 equations are?
No need to be explicit, implicit is fine for now
Actually there are only two unkown, p(x) and q(x) which belong to f(x) for the special cases like in the me provided task: Problem 1) Let f(x) = P(x) if x ≤ 0 and Q(x) if x > 0
a continuously differentiable function whose function values and derivatives at the points x = −1 and x = 2 agree with the respective function values and derivatives of the function g(x) = x to the power of 3. Let P(x) and Q(x) be polynomials of degree at most 2.
Determine P(x) and Q(x).
Yes, but the 6 unknowns I'm referring to are (a,b,c,d,e,f)
Because you have the form ax2 + box +c and this for the two parts from f(x)
To be explicit.
P(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
Q(x) = dx^2 + ex + f
Correct
Yes, that’s what I meant
Ok, just making sure
So we have 6 equations that we can use, do you know what they are?
What do you specifically mean?
So in order to solve a system of equations with k unknowns you need k equations
True
We have 6 unknowns, so we need to make 6 equations
And we can from the information in the problem
Do you know how?
We’ve got the Points given in the hand written, what I’ve calculated with the g(x) and g’(x)
It's not clear where these formulae are coming from
Let’s say it there are not given in the task
Using P, Q, and g
Can you make 6 equations?
From points provided in the problem statement?
Maby 4 equations, because we get an x and y coordinate
(-1 3) and (-1 -1) and (2 8) and (2 12)
What I'm looking for is, for instance P(-1) = g(-1)
And P(2) and g(2) ??
Is that not also -1
is what -1?
P’(-1) g’(-1)
Yeah you true
g(2)=2^3 =8
that doesn't involve P or Q
(We can always calculate explicit numbers a little bit later.)
(In fact, we'll be doing a hell of a lot of that, so it's better to make sure we have everything we need first)
So far we have:
P(-1) = g(-1), equality at -1
P'(-1) = g'(-1), equal slopes at -1
Q(2) = g(2), equality at 2
it should be easy to give me a 4th here.
is g(2)=q(2) so it means q(2)=8
yes
but for now, let's not do numbers.
let's finish setting up the problem before trying to knock it down
Q'(2) =g'(2)=2
its 12, sorry
ok
now there's two more equations
and they come from this line of the problem:
Let f(x) = P(x) if x ≤ 0 and Q(x) if x > 0 be a continuously differentiable function
what does this mean?
P has the cases equal to 0 and smaller than 0 and Q has no 0 as special case
but what does continuously differentiable mean?
simple if you can put a tangent to the function and the Differentialquotient is the derivation
it means that the function is continuous, and the derivative of the function is continuous, which means that the limit of the function and derivative at each point exists and is equal to the actual value of the function at that point.
In particular, it means that the limit of f(x) as x->0 is f(0), and the limit of f'(x) as x->0 is f'(0)
which means that both the left and right limits are equal
which means that P(0) = Q(0) and P'(0) = Q'(0)
so, that have i understood and now?
whats the next step i have no plan
edit cleared it up
ok
So we have 6 equations:
- g(-1) = P(-1)
- g'(-1) = P'(-1)
- g(2) = Q(2)
- g'(2) = Q'(2)
- P(0) = Q(0)
- P'(0) = Q'(0)
Now we need to figure out what P, Q, and g, and their derivatives are in terms of x.
P(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
P'(x) = 2ax + b
Q(x) = dx^2 + ex + f
Q'(x) = 2dx + e
g(x) = x^3
g'(x) = 3x^2
finally, replace x with the values in our equations to get explicit equations in a,b,c,d,e,f
then solve the system
I need to run some errands.
If you're still having trouble when I get back, I'll help out again, but it's going to be a few hours at least.
okay

@twilit birch Has your question been resolved?
@twilit birch Has your question been resolved?
@twilit birch Has your question been resolved?
Can you explain your reasoning behind what you have so far?
It seems pretty random to me at first glance
it works something like that b is a list in the picture [1,2,3,4,5] and this uses multiple "parts" which oscillate with a period in this case its the top part of the fraction. this picture is a simpler version which preforms iven worse
Are you familiar with the fact that the Cantor set is just the numbers that don't have a "1" in their ternary expansion?
You could probably use that fact.
how?
You can write an equation to detect if a number doesn't have a 1, like for example to check if it has a 1 in the first ternary place, you would multiply by 3, then floor, then check if it's 1.
To check the second ternary place, you could multiply by 9, mod by 3, then check if it's 1.
And so on.
thanks

I'm in a Python class and this is our first project. I don't need help with the coding aspect but I'm having diffculty with getting the actual problem solved in preparation for coding. The instructions say we can get outside help for the calculation.
We're also supposed to count the 3 coins each crew took for shore leave as part of their total share.
I don't understand this problem in general but I've tried to find the reverse percentage and just calculating the percentage value from the initial step but I didn't get the right answer.
I need help with my homework because i was sick on that day and nobody have told me how to do this(i‘german)
@chilly pine This help channel is occupied, maybe find a different one?
i‘sorry
So I added all of the values in the first image together by doing (39.62 x 18) + 127.15 + 159.60 and got 999.91, which is technically correct so I can probably just go backwards from there, but I don't feel like I understand it still.
Plus I'm supposed to go Yondu first, then Quill, then the Crew, and this way makes it go backwards.
@wanton blade Has your question been resolved?
Okay so I just realized that the question has Yondu and Quill getting their own share plus the crew share. So for yondu's case it would be (13%/Y) + 39.62

What does it mean to multiply a real vector function to a normal function?
I didn't think you can multiply a vector function to a real valued one
$f\left( t \right)\cdot \overrightarrow{r\left( t \right)}=f\left( t \right)\cdot \left[ x\left( t \right),y\left( t \right),z\left( t \right) \right]=\\=\left[ f\left( t \right)\cdot x\left( t \right),f\left( t \right)\cdot y\left( t \right),f\left( t \right)\cdot z\left( t \right) \right]$

I pretty much need help getting an exponential function from the table to answer the questions below
@eager anchor Has your question been resolved?
best wqy is just to look up on youtube, how to convert table into expinential function
way*
i tried and couldn’t find anything so i was trying to get help here
i thinks it’s because this one has transformations

I'm doing optimization in calculus and I'm really stuck on this problem
how would I write the length and width of the rectangle in respects to the triangle's length and width???
I'd suggest making a function that outputs the area $A$ at a certain time $t$ as the rectangle changes
PajamaMamaLlama
so you'd maximize $A(t)$
PajamaMamaLlama
so write the area of a rectangle and then take the derivative?

use whatever variables you want but l and w are the accepted standard
and I would take the derivative in respects to time?
yes and time in this case how much it's moved along the base
can I suggest a different method?
yes please!
let's say A=(0,0)
yeah ok, got it
so can you get a line that passes through those two points?
no, just the line that passes through A and B :)
like y1 - y2/ x1 - x2?

lmao ok its 5/4
so at any time t, the point on the line will be 5t/3 right?
yeah that makes sense
okay so at any time t that will be the height of the rectangle, correct?
yeahhhh
can you figure out what the base would be at any time t?
um like somewhere between 0 and 8?
kidna budget
made it on desmos in like 1 minute
but
kinda shows what's happening
now that you have this video as aid, can you figure out b(t)?
oh wait its like b(t) is the x value of the equation we made?
and height is the y value?
the height is yes but the base is not quite
the base is 6-t, this is because the base of the triangle is 6 the base of the rectangle is the base of the triangle minus the time we've removed from the base
so 6-t
wait but the base of the triangle is 8?
omg
wow I'm tired

same princple
so what's the base of the rectangle in your problem?
ohhhh ok wait I get it, its 8 - t?
yes!
so we have base and height in terms of t
so now we can get area in terms of t
ok so wait sorry, this is so tricky for me to understand
so our equation is: y = (5/4)(x)
and y is the height of the rectangle?
no worries, I have no doubt it would be otherwise :) (i think I said that right, double negatives mess with my brain)
and (8-x) is our width of the rectangle?
PajamaMamaLlama
now you can get $A(t)=(b\cdot h)(t)$
PajamaMamaLlama
wait t is time?
oh ok ok and is this equation for the triangle or rectangle?
rectangle
ok so area of a rectagle equals base times height, right? so why did you multiply by t as well?
sorry for asking so much, just rlly trying to understand wut is happening
no worries these types of problems involve lots of visualization and thinking
so where are you confused about multiplying by t?
so you said that this equation was for the rectangle and the area of a rectangle is just base times height so why did you add t as well?
PajamaMamaLlama

ok so A(t) would equal to (8 - t) times (5/4)(t) ?
omg bro ur so smart fr, ok wait lemme take the derivative
ok so sorry, my work is kind of not organized but i got the derivative
now i just equate that to zero and find the original equation’s max and mins, rught?

(btw you don't need quotient rule!!!)
omg, how would u do it then?
$\frac{d}{dx}\left[10x-\frac{5x^2}{4}\right]=\frac{d}{dx}\left[10x\right]-\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{5x^2}{4}\right]=10-\frac{5}{4}\frac{d}{dx}[x^2]=10-\frac{5x}{2}=\frac{20-5x}{2}$
PajamaMamaLlama
because $\frac{d}{dx}[cf(x)]=x\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)]$
PajamaMamaLlama
quotient rule only for variable in denominator
you can pull constants out of the derivative if they're being multiplied :)
ohhhh damn thats mad smart
but in the end your derivative is correct, honestly idek how but lmao it works! 
equate it to 0
plug that back into A(t) and you have your maximum area
ok i equated to 0 and got x = 4
doesnt quotient rule also work for a constant denominator but no one does it cause its so inefficient
Oh maybe, my brain thought you take d/dx in the bottom for some reason
;-;
yep! now find A(4)
I just do $\frac{d}{dx}\left[f(x)\cdot\frac{1}{g(x)}\right]$ and avoid quotient rule altogether
PajamaMamaLlama
interesting
ok so for A(4), I got 20 and thats the x value so the value of the base right?
not quite, t is the how long we've been travelling away on the x-axis so t=4 means we've travelled 4 units in the x-direction
and A(4)=20
means the area at that point (the maximum) is 20 :)
this is ineffect
everything you just did summed up in a Desmos graph
people who use desmos >>>
ohhhh bro thank u so much, i get it now
btw any of yall submitting for desmos art comp?
hope I helped a little! Again these types of problems take some visualization and thinking so don't get upset if you don't get it immediately and practice, is all I suggest for these problems!
I'd never win, some people are crazy 😭
oh nah, idts lmao
i wouldn't win either
this is my first time tryinf
FR im far from artistic if im being honest

Can someone help me how to find the value of n
the pieces of information are pretty evenly split
one of the quantitative pieces of info resolves k
the other resolves n
can you guess which is which?
it is, yea
Yeah but i dont know how to solve for n
well, whats the amplitude?
the heightbetween the middle and the top of the graph
i dont know how to explain properly
i guess i mean in the context of this problem
i think youre identifying the correct graphical feature
ohhhh
wait the amplitude is 4.5
like this is kind of the picture
yea, meters
yup but how do i find n
so the other piece of info gives n
the hours?
12.2 hours, yea
oop
this image is for a sine, but i just didnt feel like typing the period formula lol
maybe its confusing
period is just generally, how long until it gets back to where it was again
yea
ohhhhhhh
,w plot 4.5 cos( (2*pi)/(12.2) x )
you could check for the important graphical features here
but yea, thats all there is to it

help
excuse my bad handwritting, but if you foil the right hand side, you get 8x^3 -8x
and if you integrate that you get 2x^4 - 4x^2
and then you can simplify by dividing everything by 2
if you expand the answer they wrote ( x^2 -1)^2, you get x^4 - 2x^2 + 1
which is basically what we got, except they wrote it as x^4 - 2x^2 + A
idk why tho
i was replying to the wrong guy ^
yeah its strange cus A is meant to be the constant of integration not part of the expression right?
yea tbh i didnt fully understand their explaination :')

Why is it that the 'direction of motion' refers to the direction the velocity vector is pointing to rather than direction the posiiton vector of particle is pointing to?
If something isn't moving how does it have motion
If we wanted to find the direction of motion at t=pi/6 for example, why would it not be r(pi/6)?
I don't understand what it means if it isn't moving or not, isn't r(t) the path of the particle?
Not moving implies velocity is zero
You already said it. Motion is velocity

hello, for this part
im thinking of using systems of non linear equations
the problem is
we dont have something to equate to somehow
In order for a piecewise function to be continuous everywhere, it must be continuous at the breakpoints for the different pieces of the function
what are breakpoints again 😭
That is to say, f should be defined at the breakpoints and, more importantly for this type of problem, the limit as x approaches the breakpoints must equal the value of f
oh are those like endpoints?
Yea like the endpoints of the intervals where it changes
In this case there is only one such point to check, namely x = -1
so if a = 1,
one of subfunction should euate to 1 when subbed
ohhhh
Well what you'll find is that
f(-1) = 4
find a and b such that, when subbed equates to 4?
f(-1) = limit from the left and limit from the right when x approaches -1
Yea basically in this one you'll end up setting the top function and bottom function equal to 4
And eventually you'll be able to solve it all out
Well you do have x = -1
thats true
Yw
ohhh
x = -1 is a breakpoint right
We find the limit by doing the left hand side limit (let x approach -1 from left) and right side limit
Yes for this function that is the point of interest
For the piecewise function to be continuous the pieces all have to connect to each other basically
So the top expression should be approaching 4 when x -> -1 from left
And the bottom expression should be approaching 4 when x-> -1 from right
$$lim_{x \rightarrow -1^{+}} x^2 + bx + (a + 4) = 4 $$
$$5 + a + b$$
is it wise to use systems of non linear equations?
I think you have no choice
Maladroit
But they made it easy enough to solve
Because you can get a or b directly from that first limit you took
Set
5 + a + b = 4
Then you can substitute into the other expressiom
$$lim_{x \rightarrow -1^{-}}ax^3+ 2bx + 1= 4 $$
$$-a -2b + 1 = 4$$
Maladroit
Because we want the function to be continuous
We need
f(-1) = lim from left of f as x-> -1 = lim from right of f as x -> -1
and how does equating all subfunctions to 4 achieve that
im sorry 😭
You need \ before lim.
ye hihi
In piecewise function, the region less than the breakpoint is the left side limit behavior
yeah
Until you reach -1 itself, you act like that top function
x < -1?
Yea
So if i want the behavior as I approach -1 from the negative (left) side
I would use that top function's behavior
What's more likely is its two different curves that connect at the point (-1,4)
i created the graph, i dont know if based from here its continuous

Why can't I just use x = 2 here?
And how should I go about trying to solve this question? Do I differentiate? It looks messy to differentiate
btw is this correct? $\frac{d}{dx} 3^x = 3^x ln(3)$
what happens when you try to put x=2?
realtime
3^2 + 3 - 12 = 0
3^-1 - 3^-1 = 3^-1 - 3^-1
= 3- 3 = 0
1-2 = ?
oh my god
im dumb
okay so its 0*0
so it shouldn't require much after that yeah or is it indefinite?
0/0 not 0*0
i think i would substitute t := 3^x here. unless this is one of those "SOLVE THIS IN 10 MILLISECONDS OR ELSE" questions.
but its
0/(3^-1 - 3^-1) = 0 * (3-3) = 0
lol haha
okay
so
??
1/(a-b) is not equal to 1/a - 1/b.
1/(1/a-1/b) isn't equal to a-b either.
apologies for the bad drwaing its by mouse
wait would d/dx of 27/3^x not be 0/3^x?
and same for 3/3^x
derivative of 27/3^x is -3^(3-x)ln3
ohh
i think you can take ln 3 as common
same mistake with this^
yh thansk for pointing out
so you treated 3-x as exponent
cause it is an exponent
you need to use chain rule to evaluate this diverative
because you need to find diverative of function itself and the exponent
using l'hopital rule as the symbol is undefined when you put x=2 you can easily evaluate this limit as so:

Sureley using a coshu substitution would work
we didn't learn this, so I wanna practice solving w/o it (at least for now)
What about x = secu
i think it's a lot simpler (see my solution)
Yea but i dont think that's right
hm, why not? 
well look at ur derivative
well, yea, but the steps seems to be correct lmao xD
maybe it's wolfram xD
nah i evaluated it on my calc it's not
I'm pretty sure x = secu or x = coshu is standard
look:
$\int_{}^{}\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}=\int_{}^{}\frac{x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}\cdot \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}=\\=\int_{}^{}\frac{1+\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}}{x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}dx=\ln\left( x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1} \right)$
