Hi for the last part, I don't get what the quadrilaterial being cyclical has to do with vectors
Notice the relationship between angles in a cyclic quadrilateral.
Opposite angles add to 180?
I haven't solved it yet but I assume they wish for you to use Ptolemy's theorem?
i.e., in a cyclic quadrilateral, product of its diagonals = sum of products of opposite sides
Ohh I think that's it
thank you!

no idea how to start thisd
what is f'(x)
yeah I tried that
howd it go
Do you know what the product rule states?
got stuck after 6x^5
yes
State it.
d/dx fx * gx + d/dx gx * fx
Uhhh not quite
You multiply the last 2 terms.
yeah mb mistype
f'=(gh)'=g'h+h'g would look nicely for your problem
So what will $\dv{x}x^6h(x)$ be?
;(
d/dx x^6 * h(x) + d/dx h(x) * x^6
Yes
oh wait lemme see
Plug in :3
$(6(-1)^5 3) + (66(-1)^5)$
Paul04
Good.
,calc (6(-1)^5 *3) + ((6)6(-1)^5)
Result:
-54
,calc (6(-1)^(5) (3)) + ((6)6(-1)^5)
Result:
-54
,calc (-1)^5
Result:
-1
,calc -18 + -36
Result:
-54
Result:
-24
,calc (6(-1)^5 3) + (6*(-1^(6)))
The following error occured while calculating:

try to eliminate two variables
si, then eliminate with 3 and 4 also
and some other pair
then eliminate a variable from the 3 new equations
you could turn this into a matrix if youre familiar with gaussian elimination
I'll not get anything from 3 and 4
oh
how so?
Idk Gaussian elimination
Like if I add 1 and 2 then a will vanish
now you just have an equation without a and an equation without b
not too helpful
you want 3 equations that all have no a or b in it if those are the ones youre eliminating
not that i can see immediately if you dont know how to do this using a matrix
Id say eliminating c and a are probably the easiest though
ignorant question: have you learnt inverse matrices before?
if not then ignore me and move on
Yeah ik inverse of matrix
damn
Ohhh
well then you just subjected yourself to levels of horror that no one can comprehend
just occured to me i never looked at the original question
😭
Oh
Yeah
Is this some property
We know that A × inverse of A is identity matrix
exactly
Im trying to comprehend your method
.
1 0 0 1 is the identity matrix correct?
Yeah
so thats why
So I shouldn't assume matric A as a b c d?
i mean you can
but you'll go through what you just went through
not super easy is it
or if you dont understand it i'll change another way to phrase it
wut
😭
ok lets try this again
Yes
Yeah
so that means either, the first matrix times A is the inverse of the third matrix
so if we call the third matrix B
the first matrix times A is equal to B inverse correct?
Yesss
its the opposite of the previous one i showed you but its the same
the brackets doesnt matter
Then we can assume matrix A
?
Like the elements as a,b,c,d
Okk
yes thats how ur supposed to solve it
ok great so we know that the first matrix times A is equal to B^-1
and we know B = -3 2 5 -3
can you find the inverse of B?
Yeah
1/det yadayada
so find it
Tellll 👀
so you have another matrix equation
Huh
Okay
Yess
it would be good if we could "divide" C
Matrices are not divisible
yep
also you'll need to multiply it on the left of D
because C is on the left of A
so C inverse would be required to be on the left of D
So you think it's better then assuming matrix a and then multiplication
Ohh
Yeah you're right
Intelligent
larger matrices? probably not
I have a 1 min short trick for finding adjoint of 3×3 matrix too
3x3 is longer but doable
4x4 and above then yikes
eh doesnt matter lol
Maybe not in syllabus at this level
anyways what you get for C inverse
You do 4×4 in uni?
there are more advanced methods to find inverses quicker
like elementary row operations
that's not how maths works
Now I understand why my sir used to say, pre/post multiplying inverse of any matrix
that wouldn't appear in an exam
yes yes
if it were on your problem set you'd be allowed to use technology
I have done it a bit
good
Ohhh it's that difficult that they let u use calculator?
yes
the point of maths isn't to grind numbers

anyways i think you got this
ok good
not that i know of
Hmm I see
Im not yet closing this channel, I'll probably have more doubts related this topic
btw this works also for right side matrices that is not identity
so if the original question was equal to like, 1 2 2 3
you can also do this
Huh how
We did this only because of identity matrix
you can multiply C inverse on the right side on both sides
so ABCC^-1 = DC^-1
AB = DC^-1
but you would need to the matrix multiplication of D and C^-1
the question you got was D being the identity matrix, so D times C^-1 is just C^-1
no multiplication needed
but if D is not identity you would need to do an extra matrix multiplication

Dawg I think I need some help I got more dumber and dumber, and this homework is gonna Submit tomorrow💀 and I don't really understand English... My main language is melayu
Could you send an image of the question than?
The number two looks right to me
But I have the answer in my other paper but it was wrong
Could you show the answer?
Oh okay. Your sketching is right, you just dind't put the range for it
It doesn't say anywhere in the question for the range
Also i assume you put equal sign to make it easier for you to sketch the reigon?
Yup
But I still cannot understand 🛌
I cannot just put the answers I also need the Solution and the graf thing
Okay. Well think about it like this for question 2, what values of x would produce greater than 0?
Could someone explain/help
me with this?
Im studying for my exam and asked chatgpt to make me some exams
You need to open a seperate help channel btw
And this came up and i’m pretty lost
No worries 👍
Ummm 1?💀
Dawg I forgor to study
Eh okay. Why not sketch it like this? With the y-axis as well
Can u use language melayu then English? Cuz I couldn't really understand hehe🛌
Makes it easier to understand
I don't understand melayu sorry
It's okay
Okay
Ohh okay
Btw, you should include the upper region to be shaded in as shown in the image
So then how do I do the calculation? I have to make the solutions too
Ohh okay I understand it now
So think of it like this. If it's below 0 it has to be inside the graphe where the roots are
Can you notice where the two sort of broken lines intersect at -2 and 3?
those are called roots
Ouhhh
Roots are basically when the polynomial meets the x axis. (y = 0)
So in this case yours is a quadratic graph. So roots are -2 and 3
Does that make sense?
Hmmm I'm thinking about it
Can u do example number 2?
So I can understand
I know that's why I need some example 😭 hahahaha
again notice this time it's shaded outside the graph and the roots are -5 and 3
This is because we want y to be greater than 0
Ohh
this is what it looks like if you did the roots from (x-13)(x+15)
Can you notice how the lines don't intersect compared to the previous one?
Because those are the wrong roots
Ohhh I think I understand a little now
I understand the graph thing but the calculation of it I couldn't understand
You can interpret the calculation from the graph
I can't do this calculation 🥀
Ohh
Oh you mean the facotrisation?
Wait ignore what i said than lol
I thought you were talking about the range of values
No I already understand about that
But I cannot understand how I make this calculation
If I know the calculation of the roots I know how to make the graph
So basically if we had the form ax^2 + bx + c. In order to factor, you need to find two numbers that multiply with C and also add up to B
Sorry I don't understand in English I only understand my main language 😭
😭 . Yeah it makes it harder so sorry about that
You can use the quadratic formula instead for finding roots. If the quadratic does not factor
Do u have like> or < examples?
Nahh it's okay
It's the same process
Ohhh okay
But you just replace the equal sign with either > or <
There's also completing the square as well to solve a quadratic
Ohh okay I'll try
Just practice getting into factorisation and also watch youtube videos of it
Ohh okay but most of them r English then my main language I used to beg my sister to help me to solve the questions but ngl I understand a lot from my sister
Yeah most them are in English
yoo fellow spm student
Ayo u Malaysian??
But I still couldn't understand cuz my teacher's straight answer person, couldn't give any reason how it make that happen u know?😭
So I have to find out myself
Do they not explain it to you how to get the answer?
Yeah that can be a problem
rough
anyways you got this now?
A little🗣️
still better than nothing lol
Hahahaha real
Hopefully i explained it better than your teacher lol
Well true tho hahahaha
Anyways you should close the help channel like this .close

hey guys i need help
uhm, what help exactly?
how does [sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta)]/[sin^2(theta) - cos^2(theta)] became the second line on the left side
they divided outer num & denom by cos^2(θ)
yeah that 😔
also they seem to have withheld the first mark from you
i would have given it
can you show what it says to the right of the *M1 bit
i wanna see what the guidance is
like this bit
what does it say
it says "Sight of a correct common denominator, either in one or two fractions, condone missing brackets if recovered. In the numerator condone +-sign errors only."
is this caie
yes
it looks like A-levels stuff
thats true
unless mentioned they're strict about it being exactly the way in the mark scheme (other than being simplified)
yeah ngl
so the sign error in the denom is why
the mark wasnt awarded
wait what sign error did she make tho
Mhmm
wait wdym outer
like the entire fraction
essentially
they went from $\frac{s^2+c^2}{s^2-c^2}$ to $\frac{(s^2+c^2) \cdot \frac{1}{c^2}}{(s^2-c^2)\cdot \frac{1}{c^2}}$
Ann
i thought we are not allowed to divide the entire function bcs the equal sign has 3 lines
this is no different than going from $\frac{6}{10}$ to $\frac{6/2}{10/2} = \frac{3}{5}$
Ann
btw just so you know
it just means identity (same thing) instead of an equation 😔
grading tests like these is part of my literal actual job
if i saw your work as part of a test that fell into my hands to grade
3 lines means the same essentially
the equality sign just signifies that don't cross multiply
prove that x is the same as y
and she did.
yes
I am replying to this, not to your comment
same
wow thats cool
weird that she didn't get a mark
Why is bro flexing
please do not call me "bro".
i marked myself
☺️
Lol
makes a lot more sense...
@still current could you edit that word out please?
anyway i'm not flexing either. i am just letting OP know that i know my way around this particular style of paper.
so that she can more readily trust my judgment
wait, so (s^ + c^2)/(s^ - c^2) is the same as (t^2 + 1)/(t^2-1)?
indeed, because sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ).
missing a 2 exponent on the very first s though. typo.
wait wheres the sin(θ)/cos(θ) there? i still dont understand
wait i think i understand
they went from $\frac{s^2+c^2}{s^2-c^2}$ to $\frac{(s^2+c^2) \cdot \frac{1}{c^2}}{(s^2-c^2)\cdot \frac{1}{c^2}}$
its this
Ann
yes
yess
okaayy thank you so much!!
you expand the brackets
alright!
anyway yeah as i said you have my approval to grant yourself the M1 mark for this question
yay!!
in case you're keeping track of a total or something
anw thankuu!
thank uu!
yes thanks ☺️
thank you so much everyone
byebye
could you .close if you don't have any further questions 
are you a teacher 😭

Hello i wanted to ask is this a question you guys would be able to help me in
A manufacturer of off-road vehicles is considering the purchase of dual-axis inclinometers for installation in a new line of tractors. The distributor of the inclinometers is temporarily overstocked and is offering them at a 40% discount from the regular cost of $142. If the purchaser gets them now instead of 2 years from now, which is when they will be needed, what is the present worth of the savings per unit? The company would pay the regular price, if purchased in 2 years. Assume the interest rate is 10% per year.
Helloooo!
what have you tried
If you would buy it right now with the 40% discount then it would be 85.2
In 2 years with an interest rate of 10% at regular price it would go from 142$ to 171.82$
Okay so 171.82 - 85.2 would be 86.62$
Isn’t that the amount I saved
i may have misunderstood, what is it meaning by the interest rate here
What did you understand from the question here
Because I think I may have misunderstood
Isn’t it how much the 142 would go up by every year
its either the product price raising, or it could be the price stays the same but the value of the currency increases
i mainly lean to the former
English isn’t my first language
Leaning to the former means the first one or the second one
?
first
Can we try both
sure, we've done it for the product
but if we're saying the value of the dollar increases by 10% per year then we need to find what 142 two years from now would be in todays money
which would be 142/1.1^2 ~ 117.36
How do you get 1.1^2
Oh yeah okay
So with this way you would have saved 24.62 by subtracting it from the original 142?
it would be 117.36-85.2=32.16 as the difference
since we're looking at the discount
Oh yeah
So that’s the answer if the value of the currency increases but if the price of the product is raising then my first answer would be correct?
yeah, do you have a picture of the question?
im relatively sure this is what its asking for
which is what we did the second time
just because it says present value in the questions

y = 4x/3 - 5/3
[2cos(2t)-1] = 4[2-3sin^2(t)]/3 - 5/3
2cos(2t) - 1 = 5/3 - 12sin^2(t)]/3 - 5/3
2cos(2t) - 1 = -4sin^2(t)
2cos(2t) - 1 = -4(1 - cos^2(t))
2cos(2t) - 1 = -4 + 4cos^2(t)
2cos(2t) = -3 + 4cos^2(t)
2(2cos^2(t) - 1) = -3 + 4cos^2(t) [Not sure if this identity is correct]
4cos^2(t) - 2 = -3 + 4cos^2(t)
-2 = -3
So close QQ
what are you trying to achieve here?
here's the mistake lol
2cos(2t) - 1 = 8/3 - 12sin^2(t)]/3 - 5/3
2cos(2t) - 1 = 1 - 4sin^2(t)
2cos(2t) - 1 = 1 - 4(1 - cos^2(t))
2cos(2t) - 1 = 1 - 4 + 4cos^2(t)
2cos(2t) = -2 + 4cos^2(t)
2(2cos^2(t) - 1) = -2 + 4cos^2(t)
4cos^2(t) - 2 = -2 + 4cos^2(t)
-2 = -2

What are options and futures in quantitative finance?
can anyone please help me understand this?
do you just want a general overview?
Okay 🙂
A option is a contract that will give a buyer a right but not a obligation to buy/sell a asset at a certain prices. People like them in quant finance because they have lots of flexibility.
A future is a contract in which both people are locked into buying or selling a asset at a certain price on a future date.
hmm
does this help or
if i expect a share to drop its price, why would i use the option feature??
heres a chart I found online that could help you
??
@dense minnow
because you have more leverage essentially. you could buy like a put option (which allows you the right to sell the stock at a certain price) and is way cheaper then shorting a stock. If the share you have drops as you think then your percentage gain will exceed the stocks decline
rather then betting on a stock to increase your betting on it to decrease
is that what shorting means??
yep 🙂
shorting a stock? as in a future??
yes
shorting a stock is a future. a put option is a type of option
put future is a type of shorting of stock?
i know absolutely nothing and am trying to learn but am finding it hard, really appreciate the help bro 🫶
a put option is a thing. A put future is not a thing. Shorting a stock is related to futures. A put option is realted to options
Both of these strategies are good if you are betting on a stock to drop
how exactly?
Here is a chart.
You need to read the definition of an option and a future contract and specify what exactly you don't understand, this whole conversation is jumping all over the place.
I was just trying to help him with these definitions 😂
?
You have to open your own channel to ask your qustion
ohhhh
Another person opened this channel to ask their quedtion
see, what i dont understand is why would i use an option when i can just sell the stock (considering i predict the stock price is gonna drop)
BUT CAN YOU ANSWER ME QUICKLY
When you use a option theres a cap on how much you can lose/gain. It's less risky then an option. If your buying a future/short selling then you can lose a unlimited amount of money
i really need top go and i will stop typing
81/256
ty very much
one last question how did yopu know it
how unlimited?
There are a ton of reasons why you might want to use one or another, but its just a matter of modifying your expected payoff functions. Trading options gives you much more options to be able to control your risk if used correctly.
Okay so lets say you buy stock A at $1 with a future. If this stock goes to $100 then you make $100
However, lets say this stock instead goes from $1 to $.10 . You would lose all the money you have
You buy stock B with a option.
Your option is capped at $50 and $.50 max loss
This stock goes from $1 to $100 you make $50
This stock goes from $1 to $.10 you lose $.50
Does this help?
what is the future set for the stock ?
thats the thing that makes futures very risky. you could gain and lose an unlimited amount of money
bro do you do stock market?
Learned a lot from my grandfather 💯 he does it more then me. I do it for fun sometimes but not super seriously 😂
ohh
bro
what is a future?
!
no but you need to set a certain price for a future
when you call a future you need to set a certain price
thats a option
future you dont need a certain price
then? can you explain it a little more simply
@lavish cradle this is about as simple I can explain to you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-efa99L9J08
Maybe this video can help you as well
Futures contract is a binding agreement for buying and selling a financial instrument at a predetermined price at a future specified date. Options Contract allow investors to buy or sell the financial instrument at a set price, on or before a certain date.
Confused about the difference between futures and options and how to choose between futur...
ok thanks

how
Yahya
yeah from morocoo
can you help me
From Algeria personally
Response D
khawa khawa
You get it from searching the number of prime numbers from 1 to 18
7
You then try
Worst case you get only one
Best you get three
opk so mine is true
i know ty
Yeah
can take a photo
You’re studying what ?
Yeah of course

Hi. I need help with this problem statement. I can code, but I want someone to explain me the problem.
Aim: To explore the application of the **Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
using a binomial distribution by:
-
Generating multiple random sequences of binomial data for n
trials with probability p of success. -
Calculating the mean of each sequence and analyzing its distribution.
-
Visualizing the distribution of the arithmetic means using histograms.
-
Verifying the theoretical expectations of the mean and variance.
Can someone please help
do you know what the CLT is?
Yes, I know the theorem
But I don't understand the aim of this problem, specifically the question about mean
In problem 2, they've asked me to find mean of the sequence. So, should I divide the binomial sequence (with 1000 elements) by 1000 or do I have to divide this by n (no. of trials)

I need some help understanding example 2. When it says x=2, why do we plug in 16 into the general solution?
Shouldn't we just plug in 2 into the general solution?
And the derivative of x^(1/4) at x=2 is not 1/32
$g’(2) = \frac{1}{f’(g(2))}$
knief
knief
yea i know about these, but when it says x=2, i assume thats x=2 on the inverse right? but that derivative is for x=16 on the inverse
i assume they want this
g(2) = 2^{1/4}
then f’(x) = 4x^3 so f’(g(2)) = 4(2^{3/4})
but perhaps they mean the other way around
yea i looked into that formula yesterday and figured it out, but the one weve been using is g'(f(x))=1/f'(x)
it’s the same thing
take the reciprocal of both sides
and you get the exact same thing
since f and g are inverses of each other it’s symmetric so it doesn’t matter
what you call g or f
this is just what i committed to memory and rings nice in my head
g’ = 1 over f’ of g
had a nice ring to it
the formulas not what im confused about, its the general solution to inverse equations. So the inverse is x^(1/4), the derivative of that would be 1/(4x^(3/4)). If I put x=2 into that, it finds the derivative for the inverse at x=2 on the inverse function. but the derivative we found (this is a lesson) was at x=16 on the inverse. Is it just bad wording?
yea i mean thats what im confused about, why am i finding the derivative at x=16 on the inverse when it seems to ask for the derivative at x=2. I know that (2,16) is (16,2) on the inverse, but how do i know what point to solve for in a question like this?
it just seems very plug and chug for derivatives of inverse equations and i dont like that
honestly just bad wording in the problem
yeah it's more of a simpler way of finding the derivative of an inverse
you can always just derive it yourself but that'll take you more time
as long as you understand why it's true

so in this Qs I know that we have to use circular permutations, so there are 10 people in total which amounts to a total of 9! ways of arranging them, to satisfy the condition that they seat adjacent to there wives, i treated them as 5 pairs leading to 4! ways of arranging the couples and 2 ways of changing their positions in the couple, amounting to 4!x2^5
This should give me a probability of 4!x2^5/9!
@desert bane Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
the key idea for this is to imagine pairs of american men and their wives as points on a circle, maybe label each of them as P. then the Indian man and his wife can be labeled I and W. you just wanna find out in how many ways you can make I and W adjacent around the circle, which you can easily just count
huh but like i shouldn't treat each american as a separate individual?
isnt that absurd?
oh shooot its given
bruhhh i misread the question
ugh
thanks a lot for your help!
yeah np lol, didn't realize you misread it

alright do you know how the right riemann sum is defined
lets first find Δx
it would be 1
correct
now right end points are such that x_i = a+iΔx
a being the lower bound of the interval
what would x_1 be from this logic?
I don't know
what is my i value?
Wolfram Alpha doesn't understand your query!
Perhaps try rephrasing your question?
Click here to refine your query online
ohh
x_i being a+iΔx in right endpoints
icic
f(x_i) would be
16-(x_i)^2
that's the part that kinda trips me
yes it is often the most difficult to understand but let us understand a function as something that takes an input and produces an output
yeah, taking a input and producing a output
if f(x) = x^2 for example,
f(k) = k^2
because it took input k and it mapped to k^2
does this make sense?
yup
now try this:
if f(x) = ln(x)sin(x)+5
what is f(a+iΔx)?
you would plug in the value and replace the x in the first equation
the value within the bracket in the 2nd equation
how do you type out the triangle?
oh right just call it d instead of Δ
so dx
for this example
it is not proper notation
but just for convinience
absolutely
so lets try this now
∑f(a+iΔx)Δx from i=1 to i=4
could you compute that now? after finding Δx, the first step would be to find a general way to compute f(a+iΔx) based on your expression
like you did here
wait, what was a = to again? I figured out that it's f(a+(i = 1 to 4)(1))
if I'm not wrong
a = the lower bound of the interval so 0
so if I plugged in and did 1 to 4, my answer would be 1, 2, 3, 4
is that right? it feels off
so basically like f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4)
lets see
dx = 1
x_1 = 0+1
x_2 = 0+2
x_3 = 0+3
x_4 = 0+4
yes indeed
so is that it or there's still more to the problem?
you need to compute f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) and multiply it with dx
as the sum demands
could you help me on that part?
what is f(1)?
if I multiply that with dx, it'll still be 1
yes
and so on
basically u r computign
(f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4))*dx
but dx = 1 so u dont need to put ur attention to it
yeah
so after computing all dat, it would be 34 for my answer
is it a overestimate or a underestimate?
,w integral of 16-x^2 from 0 to 4
it depends on the function's monotonicity
is the function icnreasing or decreasing?
on x in [0,4]
let us compute the derivative
f'(x) = -2x
from 0 to 4, is f'(x) negative or positive
good so is it increasing on that domain or decreasing
decreasing
if a function is decreasing on the interval then the right riemann sum is an underestimate
while i have explained u the algebraic way of finding right riemann sums, i would suggest u to go through youtube to look at the geometric visuals of right end points to get an intuition for the above statement
alright, and one last question

see below
can someone please check and lmk if this is correct definition for limit
@half oyster Has your question been resolved?
lim x→a f(x)=L ⟺ ∀ε>0, ∃δ>0 ∋ 0<∣x−a∣<δ ⇒ ∣f(x)−L∣<ε
the limit as x approaches a of f(x) is L if and only if for every epsilon greater than zero, there exists a delta greater than 0, such that whenever the absolute value of x-a is between 0 and delta, it follows that the absolute value of f(x)-L is less than epsilon
@half oyster Has your question been resolved?
using ∋ as 'such that' is pretty cursed
but like yes this is essentially the right copy of the defn from your textbook

Start with exponential function I think it's the easiest
What's a chain rule??
ok you know what a derivative is right
Yes
you know what are composite functions ?
ok so just differentiate everything from left to right
so you wanted exponential so differentiation of e^x is e^x itself
differentiation of e^ax is ae^ax
@torn jolt
devthemasked
Mai Mai?
?
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
ok lemmesee
4
So just 5e^5x - 2e^2x is the answer??
yes
Also 6e^3x - e^-x
yes
Okay what else??
ok so exponential is done?
Is everything correct??
yes
WOAHHH THAT WAS EASYYY
yep
well time for trig
let them go log
I'm bad at trig and log
log is pretty simple
differentiate of ln(x) is just 1/x
So try log and ping me when ur done
Okiii

may want to watch out for your opening parenthesis accidentally looking like the letter C
also in (5): cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) isn't equal to sin(2x)/2 like you seem to have written
and in (12), you could have simplified the fraction by factoring out x from the numerator and then cancelling it with one of the x's in denom
1/2 (sin(2x)) is your y and you have to differentiate that @torn jolt
on the handwriting side, your spacing's somewhat wide overall -- though this is better than it being cramped
(but i do have some suggestions for which places you could make the spaces shorter and have it look better, if you're open to that)
But it's just a draft.
Please stop judging about my writing
That makes me sensitive.
my bad.
It's just a draft..
What's happening to number 11-
nothing
oh yeah just to be clear aside from the ones i commented on everything else is correct
11 is correct
I don't get it
I don't think I can do that...
I don't get it
y= 1/2 of sin(2x)
look at what I wrote above
but yea u got the answer
cos^2x-sin^2x
that is same as cos2x
can like able or can like allowed?
Yeah my answer is cos² x - sin² x I can still differentiate it around 2x i think??
uh no
you dont need to differentiate again
that will be the d^2y/dx^2
cos^2x-sin^2x= cos 2x
Kasi sin x is cos x and then x² will be the numerator just before cos x also taking note if the sin x which will be 2x sin x so they are connected I don't know how much can I simplify it
kasi?
Sorry filipino pop out
... i think you are overthinking it somehow hold on
Kasi in english is because
u mean taking x common and denominator x^3?
There is nothing to simplify
oh u can tke x common
oh but there is something.
take x common from numerator
$\frac{x^2 \cos(x) - 2x \sin(x)}{x^4} = \frac{x[x \cos(x) - 2 \sin(x)]}{x^4} = \frac{x \cos(x) - 2 \sin(x)}{x^3}$
