What’s the constant of integration
Are you sure
Does it make sense when t=0
That’s why there’s an mg at the bottom

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Idk what you mean by c
Physically you want the time elapsed at rest to be 0
Those are the initial conditions
.reopen
✅
>_<
oh nvm this is equal to -m/b ln(gm-bv)
or
is it
yea differentiating both yields the same result
but thats since -mln(m)/g is a constant
oh yeah constant of integration my bad

u get same eq in denominator if you combine fractions
thats what it looks like
just check if thats true
so do i need to multiply x by x-5 and 2 by x+8?
yes
yes u get same fraction in denominator
just combine the fractions cancel denomicator and then solve for the quadratic
should be simple
hello
could be
im not doing it
make sure ur calculations are correct
and then solve for the quadratic
-20?
msyeve
i got 4,-5
it was right :)
nice
how should i start this oen?
like what you did with the last question
i got x^2 +0x-57=0
should be correct
- or - sqrt 228
how did you go from x^2 - 57 = 0 to +- 228?
yes
- or -
Oh yeah oops
I think so
I always forget if i can
+or- sqrt 57
Yay thank you

how can I deduce the identities of the half angle?
cos(2x) = 1 - 2sin²(x)
Solving that for sin(x):
sin(x) = √[(1 - cos(2x)) / 2]
That's basically the half angle formula right there. We can make it "look right" by subbing in x/2 in for x.
That's a picture! Did you have any thoughts on what I put above?
ah? I did what you told me
and for the tangent?
How can I obtain the last identities?
rationalise the numerator of the last expression and you'll get those 'last' identities

Simplify:
$\frac{1}{2!}((a+b)(a+b-1)-a(a-1)-b(b-1)$
ChocolateFudge
fix your parentheses

$\frac{1}{2!}((a+b)(a+b-1)-a(a-1)-b(b-1))$
ChocolateFudge
Halp pls
..
what is 2! equal to?
2
yep
$\frac{1}{2}((a+b)(a+b-1)-a(a-1)-b(b-1))$
ChocolateFudge
inside the brackets you just expand really
1/2*((a+b)^2 - (a+b)) - (a^2-a) - (b^2-b)
I am tryign to simplify this equation to its simpilist form
then expand all brackets
1/2*(a^2 + 2 a b + b^2 - a - b) - (aa-a) - (bb -b)
I don't think I can expand it farther
cancel some stuff
halp
$1/2*(a^2 + 2 a b + b^2 - a - b - a^2 + a - b^2 +b )$
artemetra
ok
$=\frac{1}{2}*(\cancel{a^2} + 2 a b + \cancel{b^2} - a - b - \cancel{a^2} + a - \cancel{b^2} +b )$
artemetra
yes

how would i show a function 2xsin(1/(y^4 + x^2)) - 2(x^2 + y^2)x*cos(1/(y^4 + x^2))/(y^4 + x^2)^2 is or isn't continuous (x,y) = (0,0)? How would I go about it?
$2x\sin(\frac{1}{y^4+x^2})$
The Prophet Of The Damned
is that the first term you typed
if yes
x=0 y=0
1/0 undefined
which makes the whole undefined
yes it is
okay thanks
I guess a step back then
my original function was f = (x^2+y^2)*sin(1/(y^4+x^2))
did i do df/dx properly?

@hallow walrus how would you prove that? i guess that is not obvious to me at all 😄
bisector theorem?
Draw a line parallel to the angle bisector from one of the bottom two vertices
what do you want to prove
And extend the opposite side
Then bpt should give you the result
Maybe a few more steps
ok gotcha, sorry i did not understand this, thanks for the clarification 😄

I need help with the second question
I need to calculate that using the Integration by part
yes so why don't you get started with that?
I did
where are you stuck then?
,, \int \ln (1+x) \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} \text{ dx} = - \frac 1x \cdot \ln (1+x) + {\color{red}\int \frac{1}{1+x} \text{ dx}}
nyxie9151
I need to find the primitive of that
the red thing you already solved in question 1)
that does answer it lol
u already know the answer to this integral
u did it in 1)
so you have the entire thing
So how does the process of replacing x by 2 and 1 work?
nyxie9151
Just F(2) - F(1)?
yes
Okay okay
if the integral was x^3/3 + c
then sub in 2 then subtract when subbing in 1
so you have (2^3/3 + c) - (1^3/3 + c)
then you see that the c's canacel out so you never actually deal with it anyway
What about the steps it took to get here
nyxie9151
u = ln(1+x) and dv = 1/x^2 dx
u only have 1 variable so shouldnt integral by parts be like this?
$$\int uv dx = u \int v dx - \int (\frac{d}{dx}u \cdot \int v dx) dx$$
JustToPro
what u stated is integration by parts but when u are integrating with a different variable which in here is v
Idk what u said to me just now bc i'm only studying highschool math, but what i do know is that i need to learn how to use this bot
dollar signs??
u can use dollar signs for this also
have u studied integration by parts before?
2 days ago and its this formula
What's the programming language called?
im pretty sure TeXit or LaTex
ur question is $$\int^2_{1} \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x^2}dx$$
Yes i solved it
JustToPro
u can not use the formula u are saying for this one tho
this is integrating u with respect to another variable v
in the question u are integrating x with respect to x
so the formula i sent is applicable here only
this can be rewritten as $$\int^2_{1} \ln(1+x)x^{-2}dx$$
and here now $u=\ln(1+x)$ and $v=x^{-2}$
JustToPro
$$\int uv dx = u \int v dx - \int (\frac{d}{dx}u \cdot \int v dx) dx$$
and now use this
JustToPro
is this formula new to u?
Yes it is but u made a mistake here
.
?
is ur answer correct (checked with the key book or a guide or smthing)
im 99% sure u can not use the formula u used (the one with integral u dv) in this question because u have variable "x" and are integrating with respect to that "x" (dx)
I made a slight mistake at first but the answer should be: 3ln(2) - 3ln(3)/2
That 1% might just break through
Try calculating it using the formula u propose
the formula i am proposing makes sense in this 100%
Use it
and ill explain it wait
this is ur question
the question number 1 , u calculated that integral , yes?
now using my formula
Yes
$$\int \ln(1+x)x^{-2} dx = \ln(1+x) \int x^{-2} dx - \int (\frac{d}{dx}\ln(1+x) \cdot \int x^{-2} dx) dx$$
JustToPro
the integral literally simplifies into this
Lemme solve that
Okay
$$= \frac{1}{(1+x)} x^{-1} \cdot -1 dx - \int (\frac{1}{1+x} \cdot x^{-1} \cdot -1 dx$$
simplify further and we get
JustToPro
$$= -\frac{1}{x(1+x)} + \int \big{(}\frac{1}{x(1+x)} \big{)}dx$$
which is literally ur first question
Yes
JustToPro
so this just makes more sense (And is also correct)
$$ \int u \text{dv} = uv - \int v \text{du}$$
This is pretty advanced stuff for high school
JustToPro
Oh yeah i can tell
the formula u used it advanced
Liquify it
so the first fraction basically becomes
$$-\frac{1}{2(1+2)} - (-\frac{1}{1(1+1)})$$
JustToPro
so the answer becomes uh
Well its the second last math lesson in the last highschool year but what do i know
Whip out the calculator
so this becomes $$\frac{2}{6}$$
JustToPro
2ln(2) -ln(3)
JustToPro
is there a key guide or smthing we can use to verify our answer
Nope
as i said im 99% sure that to solve this question u have to use the formula i sent
but idk why u guys havent studied that yet
I think we were supposed to study it
But some issues and delays happened and removed some parts of each lesson
For example we're studying integrals for area only, when we were supposed to also study volume
Stinky political stuff affected our educational system
sequences are also imp
Yes but the part where it's only child's play
oh so u will be studying the harder stuffs?
,w solve \int^2_{1} \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x^2}dx
,w \frac{1}{3} + 2\ln2 - \ln3
hm
u said u skipped the childs play stuff
I was right :D
No they kept it in
shouldnt be
It took us 2 hours to finish this year's sequences
thats rough
Yeah well what can u do
It made the exam easier thats for sure
The finals that is
But not a great start for higher education in terms of lessons
Not half but i'd say like a good 15%
The only logarithmic function we studied this year is ln
No log
well good luck to u for the future
log and ln is basically the same thing
ln is log with base e
They make us go through a thing called preparatory school
The make a whole lot more money from it than highschool
hm
So u see where heads meet there
so they reduced the stuffs from high school and have another school to teach that?
Yup
thats just a business for money making
hm
Meaning its the same thing for almost every former french colony
So
A good chunk of the world
hm
Guess what
In those preparatory schools, u also pay before u enter the SELECTION PROGRAM
Its not abt the part where u pay
Its abt the SELECTION PROGRAM
so u pay before even selecting what u want to study ?
Yes
so its just a way to make money
guess what
If u dont make it through the selection program they recommend u to some institutions with no future
And if u do
Make it through
U pay to apply to a set of universities that THEY choose for u
is selection program some sort of test / exam where they see which institution u are able to go?
so u are stuck in the hands of the education commitee or smthing like that?
No they do a thing where they use a formula to calculate ur final grade, which puts u on a graph competing with other students, if u make it, you get to study at the preparatory school, then u pass ur finals, and the grades u get determine which universities they will send u to
oh ok
well where i live , u study , u pass exam , u choose which university to go to but u have to pass the entry exam of that university
If u apply to some of those universities (u have a limit) and u don't find a place there, they force u to study atleast a year in one of the other universities that u didnt choose
Yes
Yes
I'm studying to get a good enough grade so that i can go to one of the countries like the one ur in, and get accepted at a uni there
ez , just apply to the universities with a low score and dont apply to the ones that are famouse , they will force you to study in the one which u didnt choose which would be a famous university xD
im not in the country u are thinking of
im in Pakistan , not many good universities in here or anything
It is funny, but in reality they ban u from applying to unis for a year
To go redo ur last year of highschool
so going to university is like a must ?
Not really
U can just immigrate to another country but of course they make it difficult for u
Because they need doctors and engineers
but what if u want to stay in France
U can lol
no but without going to a university , like what if i want to be a dropout and start a business?
Just go to a shit uni where they ask for minimum grades

hi guys
just send the problem
ok ok
and the steps you tried to solve ti
this is the problem
and
I got the first one right
but the answer that I get for the second one
is 1
but the actual answer is
0
and I dont know why
lemme send you what I have
sorry if I have some mistakes with my english btw
no problem
basically since it is a quadratic function I can calculate that as a parabolla
and I tried to found the vertex of that parabolla using the derivative
and setting it equal to zero to found the maximum value in this case
putting that answer in my equation and tried to solve it in that way
but I do not know why the answer is zero
it's not really a parabola
is it?
in that case no
Im reaaally confused with this one
I also tried to solve it with the vertex formula but it gave me the same thing
Idk if it has something to do with the ceiling function or something like that
@spare owl
dw
Im in the same situation hahaha
I´ll wait til someone comes up with something
what have you done in the 1st part
the only thing i can think of is vieta's formulas but i'm unsure how that would work
i guess i dont get what the condition for 2 real roots would be
and then I switched the b in the equation of the problem with the b that I got here
And did the same thing that I did in the last one
Found the minimum value
@spare owl
fair i missed that substitution
i don't see why it wouldn't work then
looks correct to me
yeah for me too
I dont understand why the answer is zero in the last one
<@&286206848099549185>
can somebody help me please
saddest man on earth rn
bc of this thing
😦
If u help me you will have Megan Fox at your house tomorrow

@sonic thicket Has your question been resolved?
Can you give me a single example of an equation $x^4+ax^2+b$ that has exactly two real roots when $b \geq 0$
am I reading the question wrong?
AkishBrabus
right, I'm asking for a single example
just one graph that I can plot
like x^4? Does that count as two solutions
they are including multiplicity?
Either way, I think it is 1
@sonic thicket Has your question been resolved?
ohh ok lemme think
yeah me too
You should use desmos and just play around with it
I just saw a video about it but it says that bc a cannot be greater than 0 the solution cannot be 1
The minimum is achieving when b=o
but I didnt understand hahaha
Hmmm I'll have to play around with it more
why?
@sonic thicket Has your question been resolved?
whats in the boxes labelled as 1 and 2?

Basically they are saying "verify that the function z satisfies that equation"
can you calculate δz/δx ?
i think that's intended to be multiplication
yeah it is ( at least thats my percepcion too ) , but how should i do it ?
how can i differenciate that function if i dont know what is that function ?
do i need to use the "Implicit function theorem" or something like that
well you can just work with φ' I guess?
but idk, is that not just supposed to be x • φ • x/y?
well it's a PDE, you often end up with arbitrary functions when solving them
it's prolly not multiplication
guess it would be written differently then
ahh i think not , but if thats the case it would be much easier i think
doest that mean Parcial differencial equation ? Cause i didnt talk about that yet in my Calc 2 class
yes
i think platypus is right, it should work with any φ? can you show your work
well i am studying for my test , and i am just doing some exercice sheets maybe i am doing something i am not supposed to
But for example i did this exercice
de classe C¹ -> you can differentiate it
the are saying consider z to be f((x+y)/(x-y)) , and f a function of class C1 prove the following:
those are neat exercises
and i did this exercice , as aPlaytypus said i worked with arbitrary functions , but in the previous exercise i dont know how to do it
There is formula I don't remember the name but spacific for these type of questions
Where we have to calculate x(dz/dx)+y(dz/dy)
idk for this one i didnt use any specific formula
can you show work for the φ one?
yea I saw something like that once, but forgot
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it is like if
f(Lemda x,Lemda y)=(Lemda)^n f(x,y)
Then x(df/dx)+y(df/dy)=nf
For this question n=0
that's pretty much it yes
the only problem is when you talk about d(phi)/dx, d(phi)/dy, that doesn't make sense, phi is a 1d function
Ohhh yeah that makes sense
picking up this part of your workings, what you have when you apply the chain rule is
x dφ/du du/dx, where u=x/y
and du/dx is just 1/y
so in the end you indeed have the nice cancelling out
I got this part
But not this one sorry 😭😭😭
Also i am not that good at English
i meant this part is essentially correct
Ohh ok, but it cancels out?
it's just that you're talking about dphi/du in both terms, there's no dphi/dx, dphi/dy as we mentioned earlier
In other woeds why are they equal
So you are saying dphi/dx , dphi/dy are both 0?
I'm saying your work wasn't totally correct but you had the right idea
I got that it doesent make sense to talk about parcial derivatives since phi its 1d function
I just said these don't even make sense
that's what I was talking about the whole time
Ohhh i see
and also your x^2 * 1/y became x^2 y at some point
Tyy so much!!!

problem
here is where I am so far
why I need help: the fact that this is a degenerate random variable is what throws me off, so in my mind, the sequence converging to single point such as "a" feels like its literally the same thing as something converging in probability, but idk how to show this graphically
this video does a great job explaining how this concept works if you are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajar_6MAOLw

yea it's just that once you're past n0, the "distribution" has P(outside range)=0, so P(outside range) tends to 0 as well
the "tail" outside is 0 and converges to 0
but they are degenerate random varialbes
yea that's just like a discrete variable right
sort of but the probability is 1 at a single point and zero eslewehre
at least thats how I understand it

this might not really be the place
but I am simulating two boxes labeled 1 and 2
and basically if there are no empty boxes, then we would have 1 + 2 in our distrubtion or 3
and if there is one empty box, we either have 1 + 1 or 2+2 which is 4
so clearly the probability of one empty box is twice that of zero empty boxes
however when I run this simulation I get them as equivalent
what output is printed
@sterile swift Has your question been resolved?
what result do you expect
0.5, 0.5, 0 sounds right to me
you have four possible outcomes if you draw two numbers with replacement from {1,2}:
1,1 : one empty
1,2: zero empty
2,1: zero empty
2,2: one empty
all four have equal probability
I see, I think I need to adjust my r code then
because when you distribute two balls into two boxes, the probabiity to have 1 empty box is double that of two empty boxes
but I'm not sure how to simulate that then...
Closed due to timeout

yeah so it confuses me
because doing 1+2 and also 2 + 1 as two distinct results implies the balls are distinguishable which they are not

hello can you help me with a question involving integral and limit?
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/
what have you tried
I forgot the minus part of the integral at the denominator
at the last line
Look to be honest I didn't try to answer the question I just don't really know how I should answer this type of question
have you learned about one sided limit?
yes, you mean when x approches zero from the right for example?
yeah
It is interesting that they specifically chose to use x approaching from the right

im trying to solve the ODE [
2y'' + (x+1)y' + 3y = 0, \q x_0 = 2
]
I set up my series and get [
2\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_nn(n-1)(x-2)^n + 3\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn(x-2)^n + \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn(x-2)^{n+1} + 3\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n (x-2)^n = 0
]
but im really unsure on how to proceed with cleaning this up lmao
oh no i messed up
,align 2\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_nn(n-1)(x-2)^{n-2} + 3\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn(x-2)^{n-1} \+\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nn(x-2)^{n} + 3\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n (x-2)^n = 0
i think this is fine now
,, 2(n+2)(n+1)a_{n+2} + (2n +3)a_n = 0, \q a_2 = 0, \q a_0 = 0
About the second term
Why do you have n-1 in the exponent now
And third term has n now
well
so what i did is like
we have [
y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n, \
y' = \sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1} \
y'' = \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}
]
so substituting accordingly gets us [
2\9{\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}} + (x+1)\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1}} + 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
As for the middle term, the coefficient can be rewritten as $x+1 = x -2 +3$. So: [
2\9{\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}} + \9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^n} \[1.5ex]+ 3\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1}} + 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
yeah messed up my copypasting lmao
ok I guess u can rewrite it that way yes
why does that help
You just want to have all summations with the same (x-2)^something
and start from the same index
because we want to represent (x+1) some way in terms of (x-2). We want to have a recurrence relation independent of x after all
oh true true
not really fixed
you need same exponents, and make the summations start from the same index
yeah i meant imma fix it now
Make every summation have (x - 2)^n
lol
we have [
y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n, \
y' = \sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1} \
y'' = \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}
]
so substituting accordingly gets us [
2\9{\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}} + (x+1)\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1}} + 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
As for the middle term, the coefficient can be rewritten as $x+1 = x -2 +3$. So: [
2\9{\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n(x-2)^{n-2}} + \9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^n} \[1.5ex]+ 3\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^{n-1}} + 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
We have this after fixing the powers: [
2\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+2)(n+1)a_{n+2}(x-2)^n} + \9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^n} \[1.5ex]+ 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)a_{n+1}(x-2)^n} + 3\9{\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
so all our powers are the same, so we fix the indices to become:
[
4a_2 + 3a_1+ 3a_0 + 2\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty (n+2)(n+1)a_{n+2}(x-2)^n} + \9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_n(x-2)^n} \[1.5ex]+ 3\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty (n+1)a_{n+1}(x-2)^n} + 3\9{\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n(x-2)^n} = 0
]
oh wait actually
i messed up
ok i think its fine
wait
this is incomplete still one sec
@full marsh what do u think 
so our recurrence relation has conditions $a_2 = 0, a_1 = 0, a_0 = 0$ and then the recurrence relation itself is [
2(n+2)(n+1)a_{n+2} + 3(n+1)a_{n+1} +(3+n)a_n = 0
]

Guys , not a numeric question but
See we have been using squares to measure Area , Volume etc etc cm squares , meter squares ect ect
ik why are only using squares... i am just wondering suppose for a movement if we choose say circle for measuring these things now (area , volume ect ect) then
All the formula's we have created so far or of no use now , right ? or we can still use them and just say ... okay this shape is 45 circle units lol
by formulas i mean those simple 2D , 3D formulas like l*b blah blah
haha good question, yes in principle we could define a "circle meter" to be, say, the area of a circle with diameter 1m; or we could define a "triangle meter" to be the area of a triangle with side length 1m. But squares are simpler because they're just meter times meter
id suppose its because you can form tessellations with squares
and also ig you can never truely know the area of a circle
because pi is irrational
?
A bit hard to cover a shape with circles, they don’t cover a flat surface without overlapping very well
Basically all that matters for the area is the units
It's pretty hard to know that the area of a circle has units (length)^2 unless you know the pi r^2 formula
not to 100% precision
It's pretty easy to know the area of a rectangle has units (length)^2 cause base * height is pretty obvious
when your working on like a rocket
if it were circles
it would become a competition of who can aprox pi to the highest degree
I mean…you can very much measure things in polar coordinates
haha yeah
so all the formulas we have created so far are suddenly junk right ? lol
i was just wondering what would be the formula of simple 2d square shape if are using 'unit circles' lol
i think they'd just be off by a scale factor
Ah you might actually be interested in polar coordinates then
yea but
what are they ?
imagine trying to teach area in grade 4 then
We can measure things by a distance and an angle
Like that
uh yeah smth like that , thanks
Instead of having grid lines that you normally see you have circles
Yep
sounds like trigno , calculus to me
It’s very cool
Yeah exactly
It's a mix of both trig and calculus
This only works when theta is in radians
It's not too hard to show from A_sector = pi r^2 * theta/360
But 2pi radians = 360 deg
So if you make $\theta$ be tiny, $d \theta$ and sum all of these wedges up
south
woah interesting
do u know some books about it ?
(radians is the correct way to measure an angle)
You get the formula for polar integration $A = \int \frac{1}{2} r^2 \ d \theta$
south
Thanks mate i will check it out
any good youtubers who teaches that lol if i may ask ? maybe not just that but for maths as a whole
It’s quite an interesting thing to think about, it goes to show that our x y coordinate system may be a bit challenging to work with when measuring circles or circular things, which is why we sometimes try polar coords to see if the problem might be easier from this perspective
organic chemistry tutor, lmao
It’s some sort of same thinking as “why don’t we try thinking in terms of circles rather than squares”
The issue with a circle is that the circles will overlap if you want the area of a square
Yeah ig formulas would be much more difficult if we stared to measure things in unit circle (If we want to measure precisely ) all that trigno calculus would come in
But you can approximate a circle with rectangles / squares just fine
Or even a blob
ah that guy
really ? interesting
I think the problem here is that circles don’t tessellate 2D
You can estimate the area of a blob by grid counting
1 if completely inside, 0 if completely outside
1/2 if partially inside
Yeah
You can definitely try measuring things with shapes that do tessellate 2D
oh i just realize i am talking to two different ppl lol
Only triangles, squares, and hexagons do if you're talking regular polygons
Shapes like equilateral triangles and hexagons
Basically you're asking to measure area using triangles
Cause a hexagon can be broken up into triangles
Hexagons are the bestagons
But even better is the hexaflexagon
Too much maths YT
ah fk i just realized i know this already but they haven't taught me well

hello, so my math problem is to find the derivative of the function in the first picture and my answer is;
5x^2 - 20
(x^2 + 4)^2
but math . com insists that the numerator is -5x^2 + 20 (refer to the second picture) , can i ask why is it that? and also can i further simplify the my derivative?
,w d/dx (-5x)/(x^2 + 4)
Same as your answer
am i able to further simplify my derivative by expanding the denominator and then dividing it for example
5x^2 - 20
(x^2 + 4)^2
5x^2 - 20
(x^2 + 4)(x^2 + 4)
5 - 5
(x^2 + 4)
0
(x^2 +4)
?

I tried solving this by replacing ctg with cos / sin
applying substitution
and I reached infinity
after doing the limit -> 0
could someone let me know if my result is right?
I’m getting divergent with my calculator, because of the ln term.
so ig I got the right result then?

For b
they subbed it back in
so they don’t need to change the bounds
either you change the integrand and change the bounds
or you can change the integrand back to how it was originally and keep the bounds
basically they just substituted u for sin(x) again in the end

Okay thank you!!
I am just confused on what the equation for odd n would actually be?
Since it alternates between negatives and positives
The first term is x_1 = -4
x_3 = 16
so it quadruple every time
changing sign every time
how would you describe the quadrupling?
without alternating sign yet

I have this exercise:
list of numbers = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
How many possible numbers if 1 always comes before 2 and the number can't start with 0
two parts:
how would you create such a number digit by digit, starting with the starting digit, like how many options are there each step
if you find there are say 100 of these numbers, how many of them have 1 before the 2, instead of 2 before the 1? is there something special there?
ok I assumed that
