craggy tapir
#

kinda similar yeah, but i still dont quite know the general solution

granite torrent
#

similar? is it not the exact same

low echo
#

🙂

craggy tapir
#

is it?

#

i remember accompanying it with a graph

#

this one has no illustration given

#

right

low echo
#

Hm ! Then you can figure out another point from the cubic

craggy tapir
#

wait actually, only A and C is not enough

#

inputting both A and C only gives 2a + b = 0

low echo
#

Same eqn ? Both ?

craggy tapir
#

yeah, since its symmetrical across y-axis

low echo
#

Oh yeah

#

Ok

#

Np

#

You diffrenetiate it another timw

craggy tapir
#

we still havent used the given area of the region

low echo
#

And see if both a and c give minima or maxima

#

No need now

craggy tapir
low echo
#

You get same value for both right again ?

craggy tapir
#

wdym

#

i differentiated it the second time

low echo
#

replacing x with A and C

#

I mean putting A , C value

#

It mean both are maxima or both are minima

craggy tapir
#

12a + 2b

low echo
#

Whatever it is

craggy tapir
#

but not sure if it = 0

low echo
#

inflection

craggy tapir
#

whats inflection

low echo
#

Leave it

craggy tapir
#

im not sure im following you

low echo
#

now construct g(x) first

#

A, C must satisfy gx

craggy tapir
#

right

low echo
#

Let g(x) = ax² + bx + c

craggy tapir
#

cant use a b c, already taken

#

why not d e f

low echo
#

Use other def

#

Yeah

craggy tapir
#

ok so dx^2 + ex + f

#

so

low echo
#

Yea

#

Satify with A and C

craggy tapir
#

$d + e + f = -\frac35$

glossy valveBOT
craggy tapir
#

$d - e + f = -\frac35$

glossy valveBOT
craggy tapir
#

we conclude e = 0

low echo
#

Yeah

craggy tapir
#

so its really dx^2 + f

low echo
#

Oh yes

#

Now see

#

Differentiating this quadratic f(n)

#

We get only maxima or minima of

#

This eqn

#

Which is the required B point

craggy tapir
#

we know that d < 0

#

according to my diagram

low echo
#

So x = 0

#

Your diagram can be reverse also

craggy tapir
#

reverse?

#

its already given a > 0

low echo
#

oh sry i didnt see

#

B(0, k) consider

craggy tapir
#

yes B(0, f)

low echo
#

Yeah

#

Now 4ax³ + 2bx satisfies this

craggy tapir
#

but sub B in it gives 0

#

wait i notice

low echo
#

F = c

craggy tapir
#

f as a variable is unnecessary, f literally = c

#

yeah

#

so

#

$g(x)=dx^2 + c$

glossy valveBOT
low echo
#

So we can solve

#

The equations

#

Dx² + c = ax⁴ + bx²

#

+c

#

So d = ax² + b

craggy tapir
#

wait hang on, can we recap everything we've got until now

low echo
#

Yeah

craggy tapir
#

so we have:

  • 2a + b = 0
  • g(x) = b/2 x^2 + c
  • a > 0 (therefore b < 0)
  • d = a + b
#

again we still have not used the area = 2/5 given

low echo
#

d = ax² + b is satisfied by A, C

#

D = a+b

craggy tapir
#

hm, i notice something

#

i was able to find the general form of g(x)

low echo
#

Hm

#

We have figured out B (0, c)

#

Now area will be used

#

To find c

craggy tapir
craggy tapir
#

so therefore d = b/2

low echo
#

yes

craggy tapir
#

so now that we have expressed g(x) entirely in terms of f(x) coefficients

#

what now

low echo
#

Integrate along y axis

#

to find the area

#

bwtween curves

craggy tapir
#

you mean wrt x or y

low echo
#

wrt y will be hard

craggy tapir
#

yeah, so x axis

#

brb

low echo
#

Hm but how

craggy tapir
#

ok so i got

#

$\frac16b + \frac15a = -\frac25$

glossy valveBOT
craggy tapir
#

i think with this and 2a + b = 0, we can solve for a and b now

#

so a = 3, b = -6

#

g(x) = -3x^2 + c

low echo
#

?

craggy tapir
#

(1, -3/5) satisfies g(x), sub this in and i find c

#

c = 12/5

low echo
#

Yeah

#

So its done

craggy tapir
#

seems to check out

#

this yields me 1 as the final answer

#

thanks!

kindred sundial
#

what is the concept behind this question

#

does the original graphs negative and positive slopes affect its derivative?

fast peak
#

the slope is the derivative

kindred sundial
#

so then

#

at the max and min

#

because the slope is zero at those points

#

the derivative graph will have that line on x=0?

fast peak
#

you might mean the correct thing but what you said is wrong

kindred sundial
#

and then because its a negative slope at x=0

#

on the derivative graph

#

the y value

#

is at -1?

#

or like

#

around there

#

jus tsomewhere negative

fast peak
#

yes

kindred sundial
#

what did i get wrong

fast peak
kindred sundial
#

oh ya

#

y=0

cunning hatch
#

If theta is the angle between vectors a and b, find the exact value of cos theta given that: ii) a = [2 2], b = [3 -1] and iii) a = [-6 4], b = [-8 -2]

somber niche
#

How would you approach this?

cunning hatch
#

I’ve got no idea mate

#

Don’t think we did this in class

#

If you can start the process

somber niche
#

Are you familiar with vector products?

cunning hatch
#

Maybe I can continue tho

#

we started dot products in class

#

but he gave us this exercise which had this question in it

somber niche
#

How do you calculate the dot product of 2 vectors?

cunning hatch
#

isnt it abcostheta where theta is the inside angle

somber niche
#

Yes

#

Now, is there another way to calculate that?

cunning hatch
#

not that i know of at this point

#

would you like to enlighten me?

somber niche
#

There are 2 equations for it

cunning hatch
#

we didnt do the first one

#

let me try it with this

#

thanks mate

#

so for the top one

#

a.b = 2x3 + 2x-1 = 4?

somber niche
#

ye

cunning hatch
#

so therefore 4 = √8 x 2 x cos theta

#

so cos theta = 1/√2

#

so theta is 45?

#

bc the mod of a is √(2^2 + 2^2) which is √8

#

its not x 2 im a bimbus

#

its √10

#

so its 4/√80 = cos theta

#

which is 1/√5

#

is that right mate?

somber niche
#

bimbus lol

#

Let me recheck

cunning hatch
#

what i did there was maximum bimbus level mate

#

i read it as root 3 instead of 3

somber niche
#

It's correct now

cunning hatch
#

beauty

#

is iii's answer

somber niche
#

Uh, wait a sec actually

cunning hatch
#

cos theta = 10/√221

somber niche
cunning hatch
#

replace the x 2 with x √10

somber niche
#

I didn't look at your process I just checked the answer

cunning hatch
#

thats it

somber niche
#

ye but how did you simplify

#

4/root 80

#

to be 1/root 5

cunning hatch
#

root 80 is root 16 x root 5

#

root 16 is 4

#

cancel the 4's

somber niche
#

ye it's good

#

nvm

#

You can check your answers with this

cunning hatch
#

thanks mate

very simple question but I just don't understand where the minus that I underlined comes from, is this an error in the book?

mossy palm
somber niche
#

Talk about doublespeak

#

Did you try to calculate the derivative yourself?

mossy palm
#

what is that

somber niche
#

Some people don't ask questions at all

#

you asked it twice

ooo yes

12x^2-12x-72

#

Continue from here

#

Factor out 12

torn jolt
#

I did no?

dull seal
#

I see u factored out 6 unless im reading wrong

torn jolt
#

Oh okay so your saying instead of using 6

#

I couldve used 12

dull seal
#

Oj u did in 2 steps

#

But i think i did wrong

torn jolt
#

Brains not braining

dull seal
#

It is 12(x-3)(x+2)

You have 12(x^2-x-6)

That is a +

torn jolt
#

Okay wait

#

Lemme see this

#

Okay

dull seal
#

Just as an advice

torn jolt
#

I see what you mean

dull seal
#

Always try to factor out the biggest possible

#

So u have 12(x^2-x-6) instead of 6(2x^2-2x-12)

#

You will have less mistakes

torn jolt
#

True

#

I was using a video and it seemed much easier

#

But okay so

#

If its x-3 and x+3

#

Then is it going to work still?

dull seal
#

Where it is x+3?

torn jolt
#

Wait

#

Lmao sorry

#

Okay

#

Ao instead

#

Of x-3 it would be x+3

But the max is wrong

hollow granite

Oh you have to find max and min value of the function?

torn jolt

Yes

So if i change that to +

Cuz its supposed to be +

Does that change the rest of my steps or?

@torn jolt

Might be cooked

hollow granite
#

Did you not understand anything?

torn jolt
#

No its not that

#

I factored with

6

#

Instead of 12

hollow granite
#

Well that won't cause any problem as well

torn jolt
#

Play wait

#

Okay*

#

Your right

#

I understand now

#

I shouldve just factored with 12

What are the steps necessary to solving for g(x) if f(x) is $- \sqrt{x (2 - x)} + 1$ on the domain [0,1]

glossy valveBOT
#

AboutCatHelper

somber niche
#

This is such an interesting problem

#

Is g(x) supposed to be a semicircle?

lean hornet
#

Yeah

#

It can be denoted by $\sqrt{r (2r - x)}$

glossy valveBOT
#

AboutCatHelper

lean hornet
#

I personally am stumped and I'm in calc

somber niche
lean hornet
#

I feel like I'm in the process of a brainfart but I wanted get an experts input

somber niche
#

Doesn't seem right

lean hornet
#

wait

#

no sorry its x(2r-x)

#

mixed up r and x on that initial variable

somber niche
#

Like this maybe?

lean hornet
#

Yeah, you can simpify it further

#

And also, I understand r ends up being 0.25, but I'm not sure how to prove that with f(x) initially

somber niche
#

oh I think I figured it out, it's kinda lame though

#

Wait nvm

#

Hmm... let me give this a crack

#

f(x) and g(x) have the same tangent at the point they touch

#

so maybe the slope functions will tell us something

#

also we know they touch there

#

so we have f(x) = g(x)

#

and f'(x) = g'(x) if I'm not mistaken

#

2 equations with 2 unknowns, should be solvable

lean hornet
#

Okay I'll try that

somber niche
#

Try to solve for x and r, you should get the radius and x coordinate of the touching point

#

I think

#

The solution of the system does indeed give the right answer

#

the system is in green

#

y is actually r in the system, had to write it that way for desmos

#

idk how to solve this system analitically though

#

Maybe try to rewrite in terms of like polar coordinate or something... idk

lean hornet

Alright thanks

$\sum$

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
#

Yes, but I'm also not the best at it

quartz gale
#

Okay so try to write the sum using sigma notation : the sum of k for k in [1,n]

#

So that I know at where we start

slow merlin
#

Mean this or am I misunderstanding?

quartz gale
#

Exactly

#

Just forgot the k inside the sum

#

It would be 1 + 2 + … + n

Okay so do you know what is a function ?

slow merlin
#

I know clac functions

quartz gale
#

Okay

slow merlin
#

So I'm assuming the same thing

#

Indeed but it might be better to talk of about sequences

#

Forget about function

#

It’s my bad

slow merlin
#

All good

quartz gale
#

So do you know sequence ?

#

I guess yes

#

Since your using sigma notation

#

Here we are trying to find a sequence $(u_k)$ such that we have your thing equal to $\sum_{k=1}^nu_k$

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
#

yup yes sir

quartz gale
#

Could you try to find the sequence ?

#

Look for pattern

#

The goal is not to find it on first try, guess and check as long as it’s not correct

#

If you don’t find I’ll give you a hint

slow merlin
#

I can find the sequence for basic ones. but the pattern with this one seems to go in reverse after the +...+

quartz gale
#

There is some inverse indeed

slow merlin
#

I haven't delt with inverse sigma so I'm not sure if there is any difference

quartz gale
#

See the terms as a multiplication involving two number

#

And look what happens for each number

quartz gale
slow merlin
#

ummm let me check the question real quick

#

within the brackets it seems to increase with a negative number by -1, and outside the brackets it seems to increase by +1. Not sure if that is what you meant

quartz gale
#

Indeed

#

That’s good

#

Now try to find the sequence u_k = ?

slow merlin
#

ill try

quartz gale
#

The easiest is to guess something that feels right and then try for k=1,2,3 and k=n

#

Any guess yet ?

slow merlin
#

one sec it's uploading

#

I know it ain't right, but it's a guess

#

Hahaha

#

I just know

quartz gale
#

You know what ?

slow merlin
#

That it's wrong

quartz gale
#

Okay so $u_k=a_k*b_k$

glossy valveBOT
quartz gale
#

So $a_k$ is the bracket before the +…+ and $b_k$ is the bracket after +…+

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
quartz gale
#

So for example $a_0 = ?$

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
#

could I multiply out the brackets then replace N with K

#

ill send a picture of what I mean

quartz gale
#

Just so I am sure we’re clear :

#

$\sum_{k=0}^nu_k = u_0 + u_1 + … + u_{n-1} + u_n$

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
#

Regular algebra to reduce the terms, then swap in terms of k

quartz gale
#

You can’t replace the n with k

#

Because n it fixed

slow merlin
#

Ah k

slow merlin
quartz gale
#

I’ll give you $a_k$

glossy valveBOT
quartz gale
#

It’s k

#

So you have to find $b_k$ such that you have your sum equal to :
$\sum_{k=1}^nk*b_k$

glossy valveBOT
slow merlin
#

could you explain how you came to the conclusion that it's just K?

#

for Ak

quartz gale
#

I used what you said

#

It’s increasing by +1 each time

#

So at first it’s 1 then 2 then 3 then .. then n

#

k does exactly that

#

When it goes from 1 to n

#

You see ?

slow merlin
quartz gale
#

Okay so maybe you can find b_k

#

Using the fact that it increase of -1

#

find something that mimic “n then n-1 then … then 2 then 1” using k and n

#

You can do it here without sending me a picture

slow merlin
#

k, let me check the question

#

k * (n - 1 - k) ?? since: (n -1 - 1 ) will be (n -2), but then (n - 1 - 2) will be (n - 3) which is incorrect

quartz gale
#

Looks good

#

But not exactly

#

it’s almost that

quartz gale
slow merlin
#

can I start the index at k = 2

quartz gale
#

let’s keep it at 1 you’re almost there

slow merlin
#

k

quartz gale
#

Not really because you try it with k=1 and k=2 so removing the k you could not do that anymore

#

Add a number instead

slow merlin
#

k one sec

quartz gale
slow merlin
#

any number I add doesn't seem to hit the correct result

quartz gale
#

What do you need to add to n-2 to get n ?

slow merlin
#
  • 2
quartz gale
#

yes

#

Try that

#

k*(n-k+1)

slow merlin
#

wait I tried that but I thought it didn't work

quartz gale
#

k goes from 1 to n

slow merlin
#

OOHHH

quartz gale
#

Eureka

slow merlin
#

I can't believe that took so long, I'm good at calc but not linear algebra hahaha

quartz gale
#

No no it’s just practice

#

And it’s not easy to be fast when there is an app between smn and a helper

slow merlin
#

yeah the text sometimes aint the best

quartz gale
#

But you got there in the end

slow merlin
#

Do you know if there are some YouTube channels or practice questions that help with these kinds of questions?

quartz gale
#

I would just search on the internet I guess

slow merlin
#

fair, I'll try my hand at a few more. Thanks for your help!

Write the equation of a transformed exponential function whose asymptote is y = 4, and whose y-intercept is 6.

torn jolt

#

Had an asymptote at y=0

#

#

So how can you transform that asymptote up 4 units

obtuse geyser

Y+4

obtuse geyser
torn jolt
#

Yea just add 4 to the function

#

That’s good

#

Now that gives u the correct

#

Asymptote

#

But u still need to tweak something so that

#

It’s y intercept is 6

obtuse geyser
#

yeah

#

but idk how to

#

is 6 supposed to be the like the base

torn jolt
#

Well our new function is

#

e^x + 4

#

When we plug in x=0

#

We get 1 + 4

#

What can we do to the 1

#

To make it 2+4 which = 6

obtuse geyser
#

so it’s 2^x+4?

#

but isn’t gonna make y =5?

Given a complex number $z=a+bi$ $(a,b\in\mathbb{R})$ and its conjugate $\bar{z}$, whose points on the complex planes are A and D respectively. $(2+5i)z$ and its conjugate have geometrical representations on the complex plane as B and C respectively. Given ABCD is a rectangle and $|z+3-i|$ is at its minimum value, calculate ab

glossy valveBOT

so i wrote down the coordinates for all the points

#

$A(a, b)\B(2a-5b,5a+2b)\C(2a-5b,-5a-2b)\D(a,-b)$

glossy valveBOT

i can also find the conditions for them to create a rectangle (vector AB = vector DC)

#

but not sure what to do with |z+3-i| is at its minimum

low echo
#

ABCD rectangle

craggy tapir
#

uh huh

low echo
#

What condition u get by AB = CD

craggy tapir
low echo
#

Let z = -3 + i

#

Then min value gets 0 , does this satify rectangle

craggy tapir
#

no

#

where did you even get that value from

low echo
#

Just equated to zero to minimize it

#

Ok 5a + b = 0

#

Then z = a -5ai

#

|a+3 -5ai-i|

#

√(a+3)² +( 5a +1)²

#

Ok now consider the square of this another function

And find extrema

ok got it, thanks

restive quiver
#

can someone explain that how am i getting two different answers here

umbral dome
#

there are two different numbers satisfying x^2 = 1, which are 1 and -1. we could say that either of them could be values of 1^(1/2)

#

of course, we usually pick 1 to be the "principal root", abut different algebraic manipulations (especially with complex numbers) can leave you with different roots. so here you found both of them

#

the "principal root" is -i, in this case, but both -i and i are roots

restive quiver
#

are both of these answers correct?

#

what if i do the +ve i one

#

and leave the other one

how do i find out that which one is the pricipal root

maybe usub u = sqrt(x(x+1))?

beyond "messy", that wouldn't even work

hm, you got any idea?

granite torrent
craggy tapir
#

hint?

granite torrent
#

if you're asking, then consider ||how you normally rewrite expressions with roots in them||

craggy tapir
#

rationalize the denominator

#

oh wait so

#

multiply both numerator and denominator by sqrt(x(x+1))(sqrt(x+1)-sqrt(x))?

granite torrent
#

have u tried

dull seal
#

Check that

#

Not exactly that

craggy tapir
#

ok wait

dull seal
#

Ur denominator is (x+1)sqrtx + xsqrt(x+1)

dull seal
craggy tapir
#

yes thats the original

dull seal
#

So rationalize with (x+1)sqrtx - xsqrt(x+1)

craggy tapir

right so the denominator is rationalized, whats next?

so which one did you do?

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
slender pond
#

I think I need to use sugar

#

But I’m confused on how to start

#

Or if my diagram even correct

tight glen
#

It was released from rest if I’m not wrong

#

Yeah it was released from rest, that’s equivalent of “dropping” something

tight glen
# slender pond

I also recommend you designate signs for directions of your vectors

slender pond
#

I try redrawing them

#

Would this be more accurate?

tight glen
slender pond
#

Yea mb

#

Forgot to remove that

#

Would this be correct,

tight glen
#

One more thing

#

What is the direction of your acceleration?

#

for first one

slender pond
#

Oh yea

#

They should both be negative

tight glen
#

And time for second part

slender pond
#

They then both hit the floor at T seconds?

tight glen
#

We care about for how long did the motion happen

slender pond
#

Yes i think for T

tight glen
#

For example

#

Say it’s 12:30 pm

#

And I am at rest

slender pond
#

Yea

tight glen
#

I start motion at 12:40 pm

#

And then stop at 1:00 pm

#

For how long was I in motion?

slender pond
#

20 minutes?

#

Or no?

tight glen
#

@slender pond

slender pond
#

Yes

tight glen
#

Oh hell sorry I think my internet was lagging, I didn’t receive your messages

tight glen
#

You are correct

slender pond
#

So I should subtract 3 from T for the second ball?

tight glen
#

It didn’t matter that I was not in motion for the first 10 minutes

slender pond
#

Ah ok

tight glen
#

Once you do that can you form the equations?

#

Try

slender pond
#

Yea

#

Would this be correct

#

From using s = ut + 0.5 at^2

tight glen
slender pond
#

A for acceleration

#

So -9.8

tight glen
#

You did 1/2 (a) on RHS

slender pond
#

Mb ignore the first equation

tight glen
slender pond
#

Its second one I’m talking about

tight glen
slender pond
#

Yea mb for that

#

Im assuming after find T

#

I can just sub it into one the equations to find H?

tight glen
#

Yes

slender pond
#

Got T as 4.5

#

Seems right enough

Thank you for the help

The circumcentre is defined as the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle

#

Recall you can find the perpendicular bisector of a segment AB as follows:

  • Compute the slope of AB. Then, take the negative reciprocal of this - this is the slope of your perpendicular bisector (since perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1)
  • Find the midpoint of AB - The perpendicular bisector must pass through this point
#

This allows you to find the eq. of the perpendicular bisector of a side

#

do this for two sides and find their intersection

Alright

Hi, I have a question regarding to finding the eigenvalues. From lecture my prof mentioned that we shouldn't row reduce to find the eigenvalues because it changes the eigenvalue. Maybe I heard it wrong, but currently I am confuse on why is that the case because I tried finding eigenvalue here and I reached the solution.

if you're just using row-reduction to compute det(C-lambda*I) it's completely fine

I’m trying to find the maximum area, but am stuck when writing the equation into one variable, as my w would cancel out. I set the perimeter equation equal to 600 since that’s how much fencing we have, then I would figure out what the length and width were to find the area.

What did ya do there Foxy_Popcorn

#

(Also be careful of the area of the pens catLove)

undone beacon
#

i think i got it, i saw where i messed up and i'm fixing/working it out real quick

#

Okay uhhhh…. I’m stuck again

#

@devout valley sully

devout valley
#

You've found the area as a function of w happyCat

undone beacon
#

Yeah but when I tried to find the length it equaled zero

devout valley
#

You can either differentiate that with respect to w to find its maximum, or otherwise find the vertex/complete the square catLove

#

Don't equate the actual area to zero (because, of course, if you had zero area lolDog)

Hi:) I need help finding the range on this piecewise equation

hollow tide
#

my first try would give me (-5,-5/4)U[-1,1)

#

but that's not an option

#

I having a hard time understanding why it would go above 1, but the only option where it doesn't, it doesnt seem right either

#

I'm starting to consider the exercise is wrong?

A particle moves along the x-axis with acceleration $\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=3t-2$. Initially it is positioned 4 units to the right of the origin with a velocity of 2 units per second. What is the position of the particle after 5 seconds?

water beam

twin wolf
#

all i know was to get x = (t^3)/2 -t^2 + ct + k but idk wha tto do after that

thick hedge
#

you have to find both the constants

#

first find C

#

then k

twin wolf
#

how do i find c

thick hedge
#

x(o)=4

twin wolf
#

why

thick hedge
#

v(0)=2

twin wolf
#

?

thick hedge
#

that's the given information

twin wolf
#

no

#

where it say that

thick hedge
twin wolf
#

i did but i dont get it

thick hedge
#

Initially it is positioned 4 units to the right of the origin

#

what does this tell you

twin wolf
#

x-4

thick hedge
#

when?

#

at what t?

twin wolf
#

2

thick hedge
#

at t=0

#

Initially positioned

twin wolf
#

um

#

so what i do with that?

#

x-4?

thick hedge
#

what's the expression for x as a function of timr

twin wolf
#

x = (t^3)/2 -t^2 + ct + k

thick hedge
#

good

#

sub t=0

twin wolf
#

ok

#

x=k

thick hedge
#

good

#

so what is k

twin wolf
#

x-4

thick hedge
#

k=4 you mean?

twin wolf
#

how i find c?

thick hedge
thick hedge
#

so can you solve it now?
