Do you not change the bounds when making a u substitution for a improper integral?
you can do it either way
I thought it’s suppose to be like
well they skipped over the entire u sub
it basically didnt even happen
Would this be wrong
so where should they change the bounds
But the x got cancelled from the u substitution
you can take the antiderivative any way you like, including u-sub, and as long as you get an antiderivative with x out then you can use the original bounds
you can change the bounds into u and not go back to x but they chose not to
I see
So just to be clear
Nothing is wrong with what I’m doing
Right
i would recommend you change the bounds as soon as you do the substitution, it's confusing to have an integral wrt u with the bounds still in x. but the bounds you get at the end are correct

could someone explain how we get the domain here
the domain of lnx is 0,infinty?
but when we subract it from x
what would it be
the domain doesn't change
all the domain cares about is whether or not the expression is defined, so in this case the only part which could be undefined is ln(x)
okay
so like can i think it as after i have lnx defined
its like a linear polynomial
NO
eh
or like if it was a linear polynomial i could take all real values but since i have lnx here i take only the x parts that are definifng lnx
to get the domain you just check every expression
\begin{align*}
&for \ x \ its \ in \ \mathBB{R} , \ so \ Df = (-\infty,+\infty) \
&for \ \ln(x) \ \ its \ defined \ in (0, +\infty) \
&the \ domain \ of \ the \ function \ is \ the \ intersection \ of \ both \ domains \
&\rightarrow (0,+\infty)
\end{align*}

Hi!
Prove that limit n->inf e^x = (1 + x/n)^n
that doesn't seem right
the statement isnt correct, its limit as n goes to infinity
also the e^x should be the result of the limit, not the expression whose limit is taken
how you prove this depends on how you have defined e^x
Prove that e^x = limit n->inf (1 + x/n)^n
Hmm
what is e^x to you?
if you used the series definition then this is a full-page proof from rudin (so probably a 2-page proof if you write out the details)
Have you done integration as a sum of limit?
Or rather the opposite actually
not too difficult to proceed from exponentiating this limit to x then
do yourself a favor, and say,
if you want to use this definition of e,
define
exp(x) = lim_{n to infty) (1+x/n)^n
(1+1/n)^(xn) = (1+x/n + xC2/n^2 + ...)^n
otherwise you have to use approximation of irrationals by rationals and it's more work than hyou're probably expected to do
they said they wanted the proof for when x was a natural integer
but, wait, that's what youre trying to prove, so it cant be the definition youre using
natural number
ah
I missed that, well, scratch what I said about irrational numbers then!
use that
now all that's left to do is to show the 1/n^2, 1/n^3, etc... terms are irrelevant
well that remains to be shown
but that's the idea
let's name A = 1 + x/n and B = (the rest in the parenthesis)
(A+B)^n = A^n + ...
sure
e^x = limit n->inf (1 + 1/n)^(nx)
Let nx = d
Clearly, d -> inf
Then e^x = limit (d,n)->inf (1 + 1/(d/x))^(nx) = limit d->inf (1 + x/d)^(d)

Substitute in different values of x to get the respective y values and plot them
What would be the functions?
Are you not just supposed to plot the one they already gave?
no I have to consider the functions
one of y'all needs a new pfp for real.
Yeah and I don’t have the points to graph it with
You don't need to??? You just substitute it in
no? Cause I would need the points to make it into a ray?
f(x) = -0.75 | x - 2| + 5
What happens if x = 0?
Then |x-2| = 2
2 * -0.75 +5 = -1.5 + 5 = 4.5 = f(x) = y
That's all you do
Then you choose a different value of x
Ohhhh
Remember, f(x) is y lol
Thanks

Do you know what the sign P means?
Oh it's the p of permutations
I don’t remember the spelling for it
So i assume you know it's formula
N!/(n-r)! right?
Yeah
Wdym by replace?
On the lhs you have n(n-1)...(n-5) and on the rhs it's 8(n-1)(n-2)...(n-5)
You can see that 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are solutions. Divide by (n-1)...(n-5) on both sides to get the last solution
No 1,2,3,4,5 are not the solutions.
Oh yeah otherwise u'd have a negative factorial
The given question restricts The domain of n to be greater than 5, else nPr won't be defined

Hey, so I don't understand the second term on the righthand side of
dP/dR
Questions for Term 2:
**☆**Why is the term negative?
**☆**Why is the R multiplied by 2?
**☆**Why is the sum of all resistances cubed?
I'm using quotient
To see what happens
They applied product rule, namely, viewed P(R) as R * V^2/(r + R)^2
The factor of 2 comes from power rule
Same answer to the third question
I thought I was meant to use quotient rule
You could apply quotient rule as well
Alright, I'm trying that

why is arcsin(x)’s domain -1<=x<=1?
Basically by definition
inverse functions domains are the range of the original functions
ok i understand because sin’s range is -1<=x<=1
and then inverse is reverse

first memorize the special angles
then use reference angles for angles not in quadrant 1
I personally think of tan as "the slope of the terminal arm" which helps me
There's a lot of ways to think of tan
ok but is there a song or fun word i can know?
i will try that
A teacher once gave the values like this:
√0/2, √1/2, √2/2, √3/2, √4/2
I don't personally like this list, and would vouch for just knowing them. But, maybe it will work for you
this is the like the most taught way to memorize it lol

what is the reasoning that lim x—>0 of (1-cos(x))/x is 0?
know l'opital ?
,w graph (1 - cos(x))/x
Worth seeing the graph, if you haven't yet
the fact that this is the first time seeing it in my life lol
so what is it?
You can't plug in x = 0, but looking at the graph makes it pretty clear that near x = 0 goes near y = 0
yes graph helps thanks
understood
some method to evaluate 0/0 limits using derivatives
so it would go to lim x->0 sin(x)/1
Very useful
you can use lopital here by diffrentiating the numerator and denominator
then taking the limit should yield a result
this is just 0
even without lopital
i think you meant sin(x)/x ?
yes
then yea diffretiating the numerator and denominator
will give cos(x)/1
cos(0)/1=1
That's what you get if you differentiate 1 - cos(x) and x
I think you are still on the cos(x) problem
yes thats the limit im solving
so i can do it from the graph and use lopital rule
the longer way (if your teacher doesn't accept it) is using squeeze theorem
so how to write the squeeze theorem
We prove the limit of sinx/x as x goes to 0 equals 1 using the squeeze theorem and a geometric argument involving sectors and triangles on the unit circle. #calculus1 #apcalculus

Squeeze Theorem Explained: (coming...
Yes if you want to prove these limits, you need to do so geometrically
L'hopital is technically circular. You need the derivative to get the limit, but you need this limit to know the derivative
Not a big deal if you just forgot the limit though

does my venn diahgram look correct?
@jade cradle Has your question been resolved?
42 are also enrolled in anatomy, but not only anatomy exclusively
so that 42 is incorrect for students only in A
same thing for 27
to check if you are correct you can sum all numbers in the diagram and it should equal the number of students
so i would get the correct numbers by subtracting it from their intersection?
if i did it that way i would get 2 for a and 0 for c
and that just doesnt feel right like at all

If 5x is congruent to 3 mod 13, find the minimum value of 3-digit even no. x
Is it wrong if x is congruent to 11 mod 13?
@hasty sinew Has your question been resolved?
It’s not wrong because gcd(5,13) = 1 tells us that there exists a multiplicative inverse which we can find through Bezout’s lemma (or Euclidean algorithm) but you already found it. I’m pretty sure this is the only unique solution mod13, but you can double check by quickly testing 0 to 12 in x and seeing which works.

Function is a relation (except one to many mapping)
!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
A function is a type of relation, except it does not allow one-to-many mappings.
Not for specific problem just for conformation whether my argument is TRUE r not
you can view a function as its graph if you want, but then it's a little bit more complicated than that
so indeed you can view a function f:E->F as a subset of E x F
I wnt to know in mapping perspective
call that subset G
but you need for each e in E, there exists exactly ONE g in G such that g = (e, something)
so it's not just "one to many" that's excluded
there's also "one to nothing" excluded
if we can call it that
So my argument is TRUE because relation is definited because relation is defined as subset of E x F
Ok
functions are relations yes
not all relations are functions
for a relation to be a function, you need it to not be "one to many", and not be "one to nothing"
Ok

anyone up for finding the mistake in a haystack?
been looking at this for a solid hour now and i am not finding a mistake. Its all gaussian integrals and some feynman tricks.
result should have been -2/pi e^(-2|α|²) (1-4|α|²)
seeing a mistake here now. the feynman trick is missing a minus. This results in losing the first term in the brackets, thats not better
feynman integration fixed, but still bad result

Hello!
Can someone help with orientated angles? I'm stuck on part 5 and idk what to do
I thought about switching it from (DB,EB) to (-BD,-BE)
But I'm not sure how to solve it from there.
Is it 2π - (BD,BE)?
Or is (DB,EB) the same as (BD,BE)
ABD = π/6 = 30° (given)
EBA = 60° (equilateral triangle)
(DB,EB) = (BD,BE)
-ve sign (it's clockwise)
Thus, the answer is
-π/2 + 2kπ
Is this correct

Helloes am doing some prep for entrance exams and I'm currently stuck with this equation, translated it goes something along the lines of "in the set of all real numbers are all solutions to the equation:"
tried a few things I first tried to use the exponent rule I think it is called converting it to
which got me to 10^2000 = x which wasn't right so then I tried to separate the 1000x value and then use the rule giving me this
which I tried to manipulate a bit but couldn't get a good easily solvable value
also tried to divide the whole thing by x from the start but I just ended up getting logx/x = 1000
<@&286206848099549185>

but like aren't you provided with 4 options?
I belive the abcd are meant to be the answers and you choose which one is correct

@torn jolt Has your question been resolved?
sooo tried it I saw the vision but the quadratic didn't give me pretty numbers :((
I aam like
starting to question whether these are even meant to be solvable T.T
oh wait
forgot to ^2
lemme see again
yeah still doesnt seem to match
is the log in the problem base 10 or natural log
seems to jusst say log so I assume base 10
log(1000) + log(x^2) right? then turning it to log (1000) + 2*log(x) or am I doing something incorrect?
OH log10(1000) = 3 right?
yep
oh snap my small brain didn't realize T.T
lemme try again
OKAY
is correct!!
Thankiess so much!
cant belive the answer is real T.T

I need to find the area that's bounded by two polar curves
r = 1 and r= 2 cos(theta)
Can I use double integral for polar to tackle this problem? I'm not sure about the bounds for r
Is it from 0 to 1 or from 2cos(theta) to 1
depends on if you chose theta before or after
if you chose theta first, so independently of r, then r's bounds will depend on theta
if you chose r first, so independently of theta, then theta's bounds will depend on r
(I suggest the first option)
so now you have to find the true bounds of theta
The theta is -pi/3 to pi/3 (?)
it's a bit more complicated than that
While I'd agree that on this angle interval, r can exist between 2cos(theta) and 1
but that's not the only angles that are in the area between the polar curves
Right now you're describing this green sector
ah yeah, I understand
also it's better to see that on this sector, r will vary from 0 to 1
and not from 2cos(theta) to 1
what about the leftover area? how to describe it?
what's the angle range and what's the radius range?
I think it's very close to -pi/2 to pi/2 ?
Sorry I'm new to this polar things 🙂

i need help in part b
yeah
I suggest using x^2 - x = t
first i found min values of those quadratics and multiplied them
but i realised that approach is wrong
and then multiply and differentiate?
Yep

@full delta Has your question been resolved?
im not sure
but | | is the cardinality or size, i think?
and S is the inductive definition used to create the language, maybe
The language?

I didn’t learn number theory this way but I guess is that it means we can define this structure with a underlying set with cardinality the natural number and the zero object satisfying that 0^N =0 whatever?
Whats that 0^ thing
I don't get that notation
The actual material is pretty straightforward, it's just defining a structure for developing number theory over

Prove that there exists a continuous bijection $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$, whose inverse $f^{-1}$ is also continuous, such that $f(2x)=f(x)+[f(x)]^3$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$.

@modern horizon Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Have they found a function?
I'm not getting one except for f = 0
@modern horizon
;( I don’t know if there is a closed form for f…
I'm also not getting one
But I just need to prove it exists.
I have a feeling that you can just pick whatever you want between something like [1/2,1), like a straight line
and then pick a nice enough function so that it connects for each interval of the form [2^n,2^(n+1))
Oh I just looked in helpers lounge and someone got the idea before me xddd
anyways if anyone wants to explain that
So an example suffices
o.o
Sorry could you explain it in more detail ;o
<@&286206848099549185>
Since f(2^n x) is determined entirely by f(x) for every x and n
you only need to know f on some interval like [1/2,1) or [1,2)
so now just pick some appropriate values such that when you "stitch" those intervals together
f is continuous and, let's say increasing
then f(0) = 0 is for sure
and take f(-x) = -f(x) to keep the same monotonicity for the negative reals
so let's say
f(x) = x for x in [1,2) works for example
@rapid rain So like.. Let $S={\frac{k}{n}:k\in\mathbb{Z}, n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $g$ defined on $S$. We have that $g$ is a strictly increasing and unbounded bijection. Since $S$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$, we can extend $g$ continuously to $\mathbb{R}$ by $f=\lim_{s\in S}g(s)$. By the strict monotonicity and the continuity, $f^{-1}$ is also continuous. Q.E.D.?
(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ)
It would be more like this: write g(u) = u + u^3
let x in (0,infinity)
there exists $t \in [1,2)$ and $n \in \bZ$ such that $x = 2^nt$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
we thus let $f(x) = g^n(t)$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
here g^n is to be taken as g composed with itself n times
g^0 is the identity
and g^(-n) is the inverse of g composed with itself n times, n > 0
then let f(0) = 0 and f(-x) = -f(x) to complete the values of f
many things yes
first of all it seems like you let S = Q the set of rationals
and you suppose "g" that works well is defined on that set
you haven't defined what g is so I'm having a hard time believing you already
then you said g is a bijection
between S and S?
and is that even true?
then you state that we can extend it continuously to R
why?
that would require you to prove that g is uniformly continuous on S, or at least continuous
I don't know how you would do that
and what about everything else I listed
so yeah, there are some things wrong with how your tried to construct it
No, from the answer below, no uniform continuity is required
so still requires to prove continuity
Thank you very muchhh I now have a rough idea of how to prove the monotonic continuity of f.

I'm taking some linear algebra notes. Can you please double check the underlined part of my note? I want to make sure that it's correct:
you have the idea, but maybe "length" isnt the best word, since v_i can be negative and we dont think of lengths as negative
i would instead write something along the lines of "signed length"

In one of my class today , our sir gave us this question
He told us to set all the coeff and constant to zero if the questions mentions a polynomial of degree suppose n
and it states the number of roots the given polynomial has is >n
i dont understand its implication
why are we creating a zero function
what does this question even mean
Is there a framing error?
the key fact is that a non-constant polynomial of degree N has at most N roots
yeah thats in my knowledge box
so if the given polynomial is not constant, the equation has at most 2 solutions
thus it must be constant if there are going to be 3 (or more) solutions
and the right hand side is zero, so that constant must be zero
and the only way that happens is if all three coefficients of the polynomial are zero
oh yeah i can see that yeah
(in fact there will of course be infinitely many solutions in that case, not just 3)
oh the key fact to note is that it states will have three solution , not atmost three i belive?
yeahhhhhh okay yeah
yea, your sir should have said "3 or more" really
yeah that cleared up the mess , thanks for the perspective!!!
sure, yw

Nope, this is incorrect. If you have a fraction exponent, the numerator of the exponent is the power of the under root, while the denominator is the index of the root
same shit

how do I do this? I’m not sure how to start
Do you know, what's the equation of a line ?
y=mx+b
Oh wait, you need to ketch not to derive hmm
I need to find the parametric system
nvm sketch too
there's a really simple parametric system you can get from a y=f(x)
just set x=t
(i believe you are looking for parametric equations?)
but there are other ones which might be even easier to state
wait wdym
how to change y=f(x) into parametric equations for any f
x=t
y=f(t)
of course, this is probably not the intended method
should I like find the equation of the line first
Ok that works but is that what the instructor wants : )
(and there is an easier way)
not sure cuz he never taught us this
soo i don’t think he’ll mind
the question only asks for a parametric system
Good point
and obviously it's not unique
So you know what a parametric equation is right
You will just derive the equation of a line using those 2 points
You know what's m in your formula right?
so like y=3x-5?😭
It's correct
is that like the parent function
What?
actually idk what im talking about
cuz like usually when I solve parametric systems, it’ll tell me to find the parent function
You used the function
y = mx + c
And derived the equation of a line without knowing what's m in the equation?
m is 3
Generally m is the slope between 2 points
Which is calculated by
$$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$
I did 10-1/5-2
Sherif Player
Yeah
And yeah you substitute the a point in the original equation to calculate c
And vowala you got the equation
After you got the equation you can do as Element118 said
im kinda confused on that
Set x=t
And turn any x in the original y equation into t
y=3t-5?
Yeah and x = t
Wrong replay
But yeah yeah you can stop here
And call it a day
If you wanted the systematic way
In parametric equations of second order you have 2 variables
X and Y
$$x = x_0 + at$$
$$y = y_0 + bt$$
Sherif Player
Where
$(x_0, y_0)$ is the starting point
And $(a,b)$ is a direction victor starting from that point
Sherif Player
So all you have to do is to get a direction vector from the 2 points
How do you think we can get it
what’s a direction vector
A vector that points into a certain/wanted direction from a certain point
(5-2,10-1) = (3,9)?
(3,9)?
Generally a vector starting at a and going to b
Is calculated via b - a
So
What you calculated is a vector going from one of the 2 points to the other
What do you think is it
I’m confused 😭
cuz I thought direction vectors doesnt have a starting point
or r u talking about the line
(2,1)
Vectors have a starting point
(2,1) is a point
But it is actually the starting point of the vector
You can move that starting point, but it's helpful to sometimes give a vector a starting point
x = 2 + 3t
y = 1+ 9t
?
can I use that method for similar questions like this? like if it’s a ray instead of a line
And that's the systematic one we just did
Both are the same
And this is the original line
Ray?

Hi
and it says "If (x,y) doesn't equal 0"
to figure out if it is 0 if (x,y) = 0
If I wanted to use polar coordinates
would I have to take the limit from both the left and right
or just one
sorry, just for clarification, is it asking you to find values for which f(x,y)=0?
and the definition is just this and the function is 0 at (x,y)=(0,0), right?
yes I believe so, it isn't entirely clear, this is what was written
apparently that was some kind of notation
they just put a 0 there and it means the rest?
I see. ok, well, then it is equal 0 at (0, 0) and whenever $x^3+6y^3=0$
00100000
oh
well
that's by definition
the function is defined that way
you cut off the right side of the function definition I think
but it'd only be sensible for it to be defined that way
yes the right side says if (x,y) isn't equal to 0
and under that
it says (x,y) = (0,0)
I figured
I did say!
I thought you were saying the question at the top of the post. it wasn't clear
sry I think I am mostly to blame
without more context, this notation with brackets defines f(x,y) in two cases, but you cropped the picture so i’m not 100% sure
if this function is defined as "$f(x,y)=0$ when $(x,y)=(0,0)$", then it means that $f(0,0)=0$
00100000
I don't understand why you cropped it in the first place
Not in English
Only reason
yeah it just define f(x,y) in two cases
I thought maybe it was standard to write it that way
so people would understand anyway
It was my bad
I was wrong
We can move on
but still, more context is always helpful
^
And the two cases are for 0+ and 0-?
That's what the original question was
00100000
didn't you just say the original question is "show that f(0,0)=0"
^
limit??
Yes, limit
there's no limit at all
you're looking at the value (0,0)
I'm beginning to think that you explained the question wrong
could you give what the original question was in exact words?
yes it is
it's defined to be $0$ at $(0,0)$
00100000
no because that's how it's defined when $(x,y)\neq (0,0)$
00100000
but when $(x,y)=(0,0)$, it is defined to be 0
00100000
I can't really uh... say anything other than that
that's just how the function is defined
Okay
I have to apologise
I missed something essential to the question...
Can we start over?
I'm sorry.
if it says "the function behaves this way" and your question is "why does it behave this way," well, then the answer has to be "because when we said how the function behaves, we said that it behaves this way"
I totally missed what was the question, I thought the entire question itself was just this image
The actual question is clear
no the function is defined by two cases if (x,y) = (0,0) this notation say we impose that f(x,y) = 0 and if the imput (x,y) is not (0,0) then it’s the fraction. imo with what you have showed there is no question just a function definition
i type slow it seems
lol
And it is to investigate if f is continuous for (x,y) = (0,0)
This was the actual question
||it's not continuous||
Sorry
From single variable calculus we had to take the limit from the left and right
but the person does it from only one side using polar coordinates
is it just because cos and sin are periodic?
is that wrong?
I swear that's how you found out if something was continuous or at least one way
yes, because there is no "left and right"
this is a function with a 2d domain $\R^2$
you can approach (0,0) in many different way in R^2
00100000
well not for polar coordinates
or wait
infinitely many ways, in fact
but what was all the stuff about 0+ and 0- then?
you mean from single variable calculus?
yes
well, that's when your domain is 1d
right?
if it's 1d, then you can approach a point from 2 directions
but in 2d, you can approach it from infinitely many directions, right?
that is what i was specifically asking about
because now your domain can be visualized as a plane
sorry if that unclear
does that make intuitive sense?
for single variable
not entirely to me* but i think i could convince myself that it does make sense
if not, we'd have to probably start getting our hands dirty with some epsilons and deltas, but idt ur class is going to use that
yeah uhhhh... when we teach introductory calculus, we fail to introduce a lot of the "foundational" sort of ideas and kind of rely on mental pictures and intuition for stuff
so there's not much else I can say without getting dirty with definitions
sorry
^ great picture tho
to check that f is discontinuous in single var calc yeah you can check that the limit approaching from the left is different from the limit approaching from the right
I understand how that might not make sense here since yeah we have to variables in the domain
tbh I don't have a good mental image of what that would mean
but I can ask my tutor on Wednesday about that next week
for a function of two variable, you can approach (0,0) in infinitely many way and if two of these way give different answer the function is discontinuous
he used polar coordinates and substituted them into the function
and for some reason r is approacing 0+
i dont get why it is 0+ only
he said because r is greater than equal to 0
he checked what was the result of the limit when approaching 0 with rays
and i dont get why (x,y) approaching (0,0) swapped to r approaching 0+
i get he had to swap variables
with rays?
^ idk what that means
fixed theta but r getting smaller makes a line getting close of (0,0) in R^2
wait
thats wild
since r is the radius
it is like i am
shrinking a circle
around (0,0)
and you said there was no left or right
but that circle is everywhere
left right up down
so i really am approaching that point everywhere
when using polar coordinates
when r is approaching 0
but why 0+
why not just 0?
meh you only approach (0,0) using lines
i mean an infinitely short line might as well be a point
but you could approach (0,0) in other funky way
how if the radius is coming from origo
why the
?
and you can come up with function such that for all lines going to the origin the limit has the same value but for some other curve like a parabolla a different value
lines don’t cover all cases
okay then maybe I am misunderstanding how to look at the ray
these were rays?
is this the wrong way
to look at it
and that circle shrinks
when r is shrinking
and it is because r is approaching 0
do i really have to view them as rays
i assume you drew
4 rays instead of infinite rays
or are there
specifically 4 rays?
ah
okay then that isn't a circle shrinking in on 0
i thought there were infinite rays
because of this comment earlier
infinite many directions
but now there are 4 directions
we can approach from?
let me ask you this
argh the emote is a missclick there are infinite rays
each theta gives you a different ray
so i can view it as a circle?
and then for that theta you make r go to 0
shrinking in on 0
actually see
it would genuienly be a circle
with an area
when it gets to 0
it might as well be a point
i am covering the whole point of interest with my very small circle and thus i can tell how it behaves no matter the direction we're coming from
why is it 0+ though
since r changes
like depending on which angle we have
it would be coming in from every side
i thought it would have to be approaching 0
and not 0+
like doesnt that + imply a left and right
but there shouldnt be a left or right
r is a length so it is always positive, is that why it is 0+
it doesnt make intuitive sense to me
from single variable that + or - was talking about a direction
imo i see it more as you choose a theta and on that line you make r go to 0 so on this line you approach (0,0) and you can do this for any theta
does the angle matter?
