I don't get your question
wait
wait
wait
am i being dumb
so
cos(b) + cos(b)
is 2cos(b)
so why
is sin(a)cos(b) + sin(a)cos(b)
only
2sin(a)
Expand sin(a+b) and sin(a-b)
The hell
is it bc its the multiplying factor
I don't get what you mean @winter escarp
If you forgot the formula, you can derive it via multiplying out e^ix and e^iy
yeah
or just some coordinate geometry although complex numbers approach would be best
why doesnt it become 2cos(b)
if u are adding
cos(b) together
like surely
if u doing
sin(a)cos(b) + sin(a)cos(b)
thats =
to
2(sin(a)cos(b))
@cold agate do u get what he means
Yeah that's the identity
what
Let's take a step back
lets say
And start from the start
.
but i dont get why it isnt 2cos(b)
bc we are adding 2 cos(b)'s together
😭 IM HELPLESS
We're not
We're adding sin(a)cos(b) to sin(a)cos(b)
That is the identity
uni stress
is like
making me back
imma implode
im too far gone

|x|
absolute
is when you make any value into a positive value.
is there a reverse one, that make the value into negative?
like what is the name?
-|x|
hmm...
there isnt a standard name because the point of absoljute value is that it tells you the number's "size"
and that's inherently a non-negative concept... usually
I see... thx all

Hey guys, what’s the equation for how many digits are in a number
do you know what logarithms are?
nah fam
well you need them for the equation
say if we are using the base 10 logarithm, there's this nice pattern
log(10) = 1
log(100) = 2
log(1000) = 3
log(10000) = 4
and so on
ok then you should learn what logarithms are for sure
Why ?
like not just for the specific matter of figuring out a number's digit count but also because you most likely will see logarithms as you go further into math and/or computer science
so like
you need to know that shit
it's a general rule in every subject that to answer more complicated questions, you need more complicated concepts
How can I make it? 0.01 =1
logarithms are the thing that let you do this
oh so you're asking about decimals?
So basically the difference between calculators and computers
like how many digits 0.023 has?
Yeah fam
No I’m trying to make a calculator
I see
It’s a little bit stupid, but I can show you it
sure actually
honestly for this it's just the number of digits after the decimal point, after you remove the trailing zeroes
you could easily convert 0.023 to a string and get the string length
cause the log approach doesn't work with decimals
i think modulo operator is a good alternative
how so
I know but how exactly would you use modulo
since for any number, N% 10^x belongs to [0,9] would give you the digits x
String?
I’ve made eight functioning calculator
I'm saying it would be easier to code the answer
rather than to use Desmos
which lang
this isnt code
I thought it was
coding is using a coding language
I what’s your definition of coding
like python or cpp
I doubt coding with anything that can do with advanced math, formulas, and hold variables
tbh desmos is turing complete, but it is unwieldy
didnt know that
the 10 in log_10 should be a subscript or gone entirely
i told op to learn a proper programming language but he apparently has no computer and only a phone

Mfw roblox
Wtf are the floating minus signs meant to represent
Bro what are u playing 💀
Double negative if you mean - -30e^pi
No I mean what is this 
Double negative
kinda weird but ok
ah yes -+
evaluate each term step by step
that's the weapon crosshair
There are many double negatives
Oh shit
notice there are vertical ones too
Oh that one in particular is but there are double negatives
Anyways you can work it out yourself. These aren't actually impossible to solve; just long
yea someone's being a clown here
first part is just 7^3 + ( 8^2+13)
Not sure if !nosols'ing a roblox game is appropriate but aye
The first equation entirely or the first parenthesis
everything above the 'and'
Cool ty now what ab after
Maybe you don't have to solve it it's literally a game check for clues
do that yourself lmao i aint gonna sit and do sigma for roblox
Lmao
Watch the answer be 69 or some haha funi number
Im not the one playing it my friend just asked if anyone could solve so i brought it here
Check for gameplay in yt
It's five digit do 69696
Idk what game it is
Then why u playing
69420
Or solving
more likely
IM NOT i just said that
Eh?
.
Why are u being the middleman to a roblox game 
Literally
Lol
A man cant be invested?
this is definitely a trick lol, the first parentheses below the and doesn't even work out to be an integer
its e^i pi format
Tell him to find clues
Oh true ok

base 10
log(ax) = 2log(x + 1)
- Is it true that for only a = 4 the equation has integer root?
Don't know how to solve 1.
- Is it true that the equation has 2 root only for a > 4?
So, I started solving and got (-inf; 0) & (4; inf) for a. But the solution is (4; inf), which means 2. is true, but I don't fully understand how to "eliminate" (-inf; 0)
uh
idk what you tried to do with intervals
ax > 0
x + 1 > 0
these conditions must always be true
now,
(x+1)² = ax
a = x + 1/x + 2
a is an integer for x = 1 and -1,
now test for which values of x and a, the inequalities hold true, and that should be a sufficient proof
@maiden thorn Has your question been resolved?
now test for which values of x and a, the inequalities hold true, and that should be a sufficient proof
but how does it help me with a > 4. I wanted to know where the equation will have 2 solutions.
- ax = (x+1)^2
- ax = x^2 +2x + 1
3.x^2 + (2 - a)x + 1 = 0
D = (2-a)^2 - 4 should be > 0 to have 2 root
D = 4 - 4a + a^2 - 4 > 0
a^2 - 4a > 0
a = 0, a = 4 => (-inf; 0) & (4; inf) for a
Since ax > 0 and x > -1 =>
either a is (-inf; 0), x is (-1; 0) or a is (0; inf), x is (0; inf)
What am I doing wrong?
Yes, that is what confuses me
a has to be an integer no?
it's not stated,
but if a is any real number, there are infinitely many integer roots..
It doesn't say int root for a > 4, it says does the equation have 2 roots only for a > 4

which formula is used here
which one Tn = ar^n-1 or Sn = a(r^n-1)/r - 1
for starters its an infinite series
so neither of those
1+r+r^2+... = 1/(1-r)
or rather a+ar+ar^2+... = a/(1-r)
S = a(1 - infinite)/1-r ??
1-r not 1+r
whoops thanks
(r^(n+1)-1) is zero for r=1, so has a factor (r-1), the division gives (r^n+...+r+1)

Contradiction, Assume that no vertex has in degree 0. Now we can construct a directed closed walk : v0,a1,v1,a2,v2,....,a_k-1, a_k, v0 . THis is a contradiction so D has at least one vertex with in degree 0.
I know some vertices can have out degree 0 but there still must be a loop cuz otherwise some will have in degree 0 which we just assumed is not possible
you can prove the contrapositive p easily here I think
what?
like prove if D does not have at least one vertex with in-degree 0, then it must contain normal cycle(s)
isnt that kind of what I did?
oh yeah you did to it by contraposition
mb i didnt see
@final wing Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
You have the right idea, but you have to write it down correctly. Start wit a random point v0. THe edge leading to v0 has to start at another point v1.
If we have a set of connected vertices {v0; v1; ... ; vk} the last one has in-degree 1, where does th edge leading to this one start? it has to be a new point v_{k+1}.
I thought v0 since v0 otherwise would have in degree 0
Any of the points we already used, but it does not matter, it will be a loop.
True but then we dont use that all vertices have at least in degree > 0 right?
If they had no in-degree >0, how could I argue, that there is an edge leading to vk?
Could you maybe rephrase that for me
I start at the end of a chain and state, that all vertices have in-degree >0. Then there must be an edge leading to each vertex.
true
If they could have in-degree 0, we could reach a point, where we can not continue the chain.
exactly
SO the chain continues until we reach an already used point (loop) or the last element of V.
But that last point also has in-degree >= 1 and we have to use one of the previously used vertices.
but what about the first point of our chain?
Think of it as a lasso, it does not have to connect to the first point, v0 could have out-degree 0.
e.g. v0 <- v1 <- v2 <- v3 <- v4 <- v2, where v2 has out-degree 2
But now v2 doesnt have an in degree greater than 0 right?
No, but if the in-degree is at least 1 and we have a vertex with out-degree 0 , at least one vertex has to have out-degree >= 2.
I am tweaking :-:
Sorrry, v2 has an in-degree 1, edge from v3 to v2.
yes!
but how do I write this down nicely?
I would write it as a sort of induction, start with 2 vertices and then show k->k+1 for some k < |V|
Sorry, but I think you should try this yourself first. You got the general idea.
YOu do not have to write it as a formal induction, but the steps are similar.
Hmmmm
i am stuck
Why do I not get itttttttt
Omg i got it
not with induction
but I think how I wrote the proof is also fine
We have a graph with |V| = n. We assume by contradiction that every vertex has an in-degree >0. We choose a random vertex v in our graph. We know this vertex has an in degree greater than 0 so we can go to the vertex that points to our randomly picked vertex. We can keep doing this. After max n+1 times we will have arrived at a vertex we already passed before. Hence there exists a loop => contradiction

Let ABC be a triangle where AB = sqrt(3) and D is a point on BC such that AD = 1. Find the value of BD*DC
theres probably some theorem for this but i forgot so im trig bashing
is there any way to trig bash the solution? cause i cant find it
got a diagram?
wow ok this is ugly
following this from the second img i have that k = 3 which is ridiculous
<@&286206848099549185>
blehh
No it actually looks nice to me ngl
Especially the thai part
@rare pine Has your question been resolved?
Redo and still stuck.
What’s the prob though ?
Let ABC be a triangle where AB = sqrt(3) and D is a point on BC such that AD = 1. Find the value of BD*DC
why am i trig bashing this qn for no reason💔
Product of lengths bd and dc ?
Uh what. I’m pretty sure there’s not enough given information. Like fro example in the diagram you can extend BC such that BD will always remain the same and CD can be variable
And triangle BDA remains same. It’s just moving point C along the line BC
I KNEW ITTTT
something was fishy about this one
Is the answer 4 though ?
i honestly have no idea
my friend gave me this for me to solve since im good at math n allat
This question’s incomplete maybe
ill ask him !!!
Sure
yea probably mistyping
Nice handwriting though

Optimization Problem:
Is my answer correct and (my own question) how would I go about solving it - given there are two variables to optimize for.
On a 1000x1000 grid two colleges are planned A and B as well as 1000 students. A can handle 400 students. B can handle 600. What's the optimized location for A and B so that the total sum of distance (college and student) is minimized.
I'd write something like:
Required sum(1 to 1000) z_i = 400 //Students of school A
z_i either {0;1} for 0<i<=1000 //if Student goes to A set 1. Else 0.
variables are real numbers```

hi I am doing pre-cal and I know we are supposed to use cos,sin or tan but the answer does not make sence to me I keep getting different numbers which the answer is 5.638
What were your steps?
Determine the variable x. and round your answer to the nearest thousandths.
But what did you do to try and solve it?
I tried tan since it was x and y but I got 2.93
Uh
Ok so tangent of angle gives opp/adj right?
So in this case the side opposite to the 70 degrees angle is x
But you don’t know the adjacent side
So you can’t really use tan here
can you writre it down what your saying sorry I learn when it is written down
Sorry that’s not really possible for me rn
ahhh okay that's fine then
For this case you shall want to use sine since you have the opposite side and the hypotenuse to work with
ahhh okay so would my signs switch and my x be x and my y be 6?
Yes indeed
Sine is opposite divided by hypotenuse so you’ll want the fraction the other way
H/6
Correct
so what is the next step?
Isolate H
do I times H in both sides?
Multiply by 6 to cancel out with the denominator
Yes
On the answer key yes but no when I’m solving it on the answer key it says x=5.638
If you shall desire an approximate result use a calculator
To find the decimal value of 6*sin(70)
I don’t have a calculator on me will the computer help me?
Well there are multiple resources you can use on a computer
You may already have a calculator app
Now unfortunately I have to go, good luck

Differential Equations:
I've attempted variations of this problem like 5 times and I think I'm doing the same thing wrong each time, but I can't pinpoint where my mistake is.
Call the first term of the equation Mdx, and the second Ndy.
Call the solution of the equation F(x,y)
Call (Mx - Nx)/M) = P
The equation is not exact, but P = (Mx - Nx)/M) is a function of just Y, so I can use an integrating factor mu(y) - exp[int((Mx - Nx)/M)dy].
My understanding is that del(F)/del(x) = M and del(F)/del(y) = N.
F(x,y) = int(Mdx) + g(x)
Using that information and the integrating factor, I can substitute as necessary, but I'm doing something wrong or working off of false logic, and I can't figure out what I'm doing. I'll attach photos, for context, of the prompt from my homework as well as a photo of my work for my most recent attempt.
@fading stone Has your question been resolved?
I can confirm that your integrating factor looks good
you've turned the ODE into an exact ODE
okay, I think I see the problem
you wrote that -3x^2y^-4 + g(y) = 2y - 3x^2
this isn't true
when you integrate M = 2xy^-3 with respect to x, you want to get a function F that satisfies F_x = M, F_y = N, where N = y^-4(2y - 3x^2)
the F needs to satisfy those conditions for the exact ODE, not the original ODE
Closed due to timeout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
.reopen
✅
so after you integrate M, you're supposed to get x^2y^-3 + g(y) = F(x, y)
differentiate wrt y to get -3x^2y^-4 + g'(y) = N = 2y^-3 - 3x^2y^-4
and from there you can identify g'(y) with 2y^-3, and be on your way 
idk if the way I said this makes sense 
so I need to set F(x,y) = int(M mu dx) as opposed to int(M dx)?
F(x,y) = the integral of the first term TIMES the integrating factor wrtx?
if im understand correctly it looks like ive done that
yes
you did
this is the part I'm concerned about
you set the derivative of F to be equal to the "N" in the original ODE
not the exact ODE
yes
that should solve the issue
while you're here, do you think you could help me understand this solution?
I understand that I'm using an integrating factor to turn the differential equation into an exact differential equation and solving from there. I think I mostly understand the solution of the exact differential equation but I could not articulate back to you why del(f)/del(y) = n (or apparently n*mu).
Integrating factors also still sorta feel like magic. I see that they provide enough new information to make the equation solvable and of course if you multiply both sides of the equation by the same factor then it all remains equal, but I don't understand how exponentiating the integral of some term or partial derivative from the function creates such a useful integrating factor
does that make sense?

Can anybody explain me why the result ( right side of image ) shows that the denominator has (x + 1)? I did this problem and got almost all the answers except for this denominator part, especially why it has a ( + 1 ) on it.
uhh
just rewrite
1+1/x as (1+x)/x
then put the x to the nominator
so the equation is equiv to
(x^5 - 1)/(1+x)

So by the division algorithm
X^5-1 = quotient(1+x) + remainder
Now
Divide both sides by 1+x
Omg
DAmn bruh
You a math wizard
Thx
Ok so first
The first step to solving polynomial with negative exponents
Is to:
- simplify them first ( simplify the negative exponents)
- and then start dividing
- when there are remainders, just divide the remainders using the denominator from the left side of the equation
Is this a good logic?
Or what would be a way to explain in a paper ( when i am doing a test for example ) that I got this 2/(1+x) denominator from dividing (1+x) into it?
Or can I just write it this way after I got every results?
and then bam i got the final result form dividing both sides
first step is to write down domain restrictions
if you start out with x^-1 anywhere then x can't be zero even after simplifting go get rid of negative powers
for example
do you know the division theorem for numbers?
yes
the one for polynomials works similarly
and you can present them the same way
13=4x3+1
13/4=3 r1
for full credit, say "using polynomial division" or "the division theorem" and thats what you did
13/4=3+1/4 is the same as this ofc
. and this
"i started with 14/6, by long division this is equal to 2 + 2/6"
something like that
Do you mean by this sentence that even after I simplified the negative exponents, it still can't be 0?
correct.
unless context suggests otherwise, you assume the domain of a function is implied by the original way the author created it
and by "anywhere" you mean both the denominator and nominator?
the reason being that we don't want "simplifying" to fundamentally change the function, which changing the domain would be changing
x^-1/x^-1 simplifies to
1 (for x ≠ 0)
make sense? unless context tells you otherwise, like somewhere in the problem you see that x>0 in all contexts anyway
Yep
also
there is a super fast shortcut for polynomial long division for when you're dividing by a simple (x-c), but
So the division theorem here ( that the remainder is actually 1/4 here) works aswell for polynomials
it's not intuitive why it works at first glance
you can sesrch Google for synthetic division if youre interested
Only with (x-c)?
or x+c, which is just x-(-c)
yes!
and that is why the answer for my remainder was 2/(1+x)
Now I get it
Thank you man
np. synthetic division is completely optional
just a shortcut for a common case
khan academy has it

The answer is 792 right? Can someone please check
To get the answer, I just did 12 choose 10 * 12 choose 11 * 12 choose 12
which is equal to 792
No
why multiply
they're independent ?
the number of heads was 10 or 11 or 12
so add?
yes you add
bruh i cant tell the difference
when you say "they are independent" you're making it unclear for yourself who on earth "they" are\

I was thinking More than 1+ dim range(T) eigenvalues implies more than 1+ dim range(T) eigenvectors, which would mean the dimension of the range is more than dim ( range T)) which is a contradiction
But why is it 1+dim Range T and not range(T)
what eigenvalue does not "contribute" to the range
the 0 eigenvalue
well there's your answer

not S_x
Look closer
First, the image is S_y, correct?
Second,
I meant to say S_x is one possible preimage of f.
well it can't be the preimage of S_y
S_x equals none of the preimages of f
and if S_y is the whole image, then you know what the preimage of S_y has to be
lets say the dots in X are 1,2,3 from top to bottom
and in Y are a and b
the preimage of {a} is {1,2}
the preimage of {b} is {3}
the preimage of {a,b} is {1,2,3}
I shouldn't have asked 2 questions at the same time. I want to get this one correct first:
Is it correct to say thatS_y is the image of f?
yes

Need some help with this grade 12 thinking question. I can of course graph it, but I’m really struggling to find an equation that follows all three of the rules.
<@&268886789983436800>
have you tried anything yet? 
how about starting with the first condition? 
Think about how the multiplicity of roots affects the local behaviour of the polynomial at that root
I’ve made the equation f(x) = -x(x+2)(x-4)^2 which satisfies two of the rules but no matter what I do, I can’t get the third rule to work
@storm ridge Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Use tge wavy curve analogy @storm ridge ristianThe12
Why are we helping him
The*
Isnt this 10 percent of the grade
It says so on the paper
It’s open book the teacher said we can basically do whatever we want for it
Wow, now we know your full name 😄
I’m so bad at maths
It’s in my username lol
guys i gave an extremely difficult questions of Sequence and Series. Q) If (a+1),(b+1),(c+1),(d+1) is in GP then find the value of (b+c+2)^2 = _____ options:- (a) (a+b+2)(b+c+2) (b)(a+b+1)(c+d+1) (c) (b+c+2)(c+d+2)
I think using that every condition is fulfilled except the decreasing part
4 to infinity is fulfilled but the other is not
Yeah I just can’t do (-1,1)
The only thing I can think of is messing around with the exponents until I have a point of inflection at -1 and 1 but I haven’t been able to do it
This is what I have
I don’t think changing the value of a will effect the x coordinate of the turning points
Yeah it doesn’t
I’m trying to mess with rational powers with an odd denominator but I think there’s an actual algebraic way for me to find this
@storm ridge Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Sorry if I’m pinging too much
@storm ridge
Thanks but that doesn’t follow rule 3
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
It also has to decrease from -1 to 1
it does
The function increases from -2 to -0.8
Also the only intervals in which the function can decrease are (-1,1) and (4,infinity) no other parts are allowed to be decreasing
Shoshir
Here’s what I have I’m trying to solve for an exponent that would give an inflection at -1 and 1
My f’ might be wrong I’ve barely done any calculus
I dont think changing that value of A changes much for the inflections
Shoshir
$3Ax^2-4Ax-8A<0$ when $x\in\left(-1,1\right)\bigcup\left(4,\infty\right) $
What does this mean
Is this question even possible?
My teacher has accidentally made multiple impossible questions before
I’m going to close this channel because there’s probably a mistake in the question that’s making it impossible
I’ll ask my teacher on Monday

[
v_n = \int_0^1 \frac{x^{n+1}}{x+1} \dd{x} , n \in \mathbb{N}
]
prove that
[
v_n = (-1)^n(1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\cdot \cdot \cdot + \frac{(-1)^n}{n+1}-\ln(2))
]
<rajel />
tried ibp , but doesnt work
||Sub for x+1||
,, v_n = \int_0^1 \frac{(u-1)^{n+1}}{u} \dd{u}
<rajel />
And now expand
how would i
But doesn't simplify as nicely as I expected 
Then you just get a sum of integrals of powers of u
didnt understand what you mean by expand
(-1)^n in the front and -ln2 appear, but the rest seems a bit harder to simplify
Apply binomial theorem
ah
But first let me check if this does actually work
btw they gave us a question which seems to be a hint
$\frac{x^2}{x+1}=ax+b+\frac{c}{x+1}$
<rajel />
that would just give an integral ...
Which is way simpler, see for yourself
,, v_{n+1} + v_n = \int_0^1 (u-1)^{n+1} \dd{u}
<rajel />
Btw the bounds of u should be from 1 to 2
Anyway, now you got v_{n+1} + v_n = 1/(n+2)
Yeah feel free to get back to x, the u-sub was not necessary at all
The result follows from evaluating v_0 and this recursive formula
but we should -vn insetad of +vn to get what you said
I don't think I understand what you mean
\begin{align}
&\text{ if we have } v_{n+1}-v_n: \
&v_1 -v_0=..................... \
&v_2 -v_1=......................\
&..................... \
&..................... \
&v_n -v_{n-1} =
\end{align}
<rajel />
If you apply the formula a bunch of times, you will notice a pattern, the pattern being that v_{n+1} becomes an alternating harmonic sum (plus the initial term v_0) which can be shown via induction
Yup
also this method seems to be possible
same method we got + we can get -
refering to this
Hmm, maybe if we wrote
\begin{align*}
v_{n+1} + v_n &= \dots \
-(v_n + v_{n-1}) &= \dots \
v_{n-1} + v_{n-2} &= \dots \
\dots &= \dots \
(-1)^n(v_1 + v_0) &= \dots
\end{align*}
And then added up, we would get a similarly elegant solution

,, v_{n+1}-v_n = \int (u-2)^{n+1} \dd{x}
<rajel />
Oh, you meant that
The integrand should be x^{n+1}(x - 1)/(x + 1) then though, no?
,w integrate (x-1)^{n+1}
how did you get this ?
[ v_{n+1} - v_n = \int_0^1\frac{x^{n+2}}{x+1}\dd x - \int_0^1\frac{x^{n+1}}{x+1}\dd x = \int_0^1\frac{x^{n+2}-x^{n+1}}{x+1}\dd x = \int_0^1\frac{x^{n+1}(x-1)}{x+1}\dd x ]

Not 100% sure if this is math related, but i was a bit confused with the proof regarding this edit distance problem:
Specifically these cases
What I don’t really understand is why for the case of inserting a character we have D[i, j-1] +1 rather than D[i+1, j] + 1
Since if we insert a character to string x, then we would have a string of length i+1 for x and not i
So i and j are the lengths of the strings?
And D is a function that returns the minimum number of operations?
I believe so yes. The source I had didn’t really specify, but I think that’s what they mean
I think so. Also combined with dp (dynamic programming)
dp?
Sry ignore that i meant recursive
Ah okay
Are we assuming that i > j?
I also don't see how the min is coming in tbh
What is M?
What are x and y?
Yeah idk it’s Alr I’ll try to think a bit more
Okay I think I see how this works
@swift bridge
I'm going to call the strings I and J, and their lengths i and j, since x and y aren't the most helpful.
If i > j, then we need to delete a character from I and J stays the same, so we're left with D[i - 1, j]. Then we add 1 for that operation
If i < j, then we need to insert a character into I, so we have i characters left to process (since the new character is definitely fine), and j - 1 characters left to process in J, since we've processed 1 character. Then we add 1 for that operation
And for the last one, we've processed 1 character from both, and then we add 1 if they're not the same (for replacement) or 0 if they are (since we don't need to do anything)
Does that make sense?

Okay um so I don't get the logic behind these problems?
I kinda asked for some help so I was able to solve them but I don't understand the nuts and bolts?
I guess you can break each question into two parts
a log or exponential
then you have a variable that is greater or lesser than certain numbers
How does each part influence the behavior of the graph???
Well firstly
You should check the domain of the functions
For log x, x>0 always
So black and green will be the answers for the log part
Then you should check whether the graph is increasing or decreasing
Let us take k(x) for an example
Do you think it is inc or dec
Um im not sure increasing?
For log x, x>0 always
What is greater than 0 ? That would be right of the y axis?
Yes
How did you deduce that
I just took a guess, it's similar to the log x
<@&268886789983436800>
I didn't
Ah well apply it now on k(x) and see what you can think of
Executor
Lol i need to learn latex
Soemthing like \frac {1}{\1/k (x)}$
Wrong
See that the base changes when the log goes from numerator to denominator
i.e., b would become 1/b
Do you see that?
Im not sure what you mean x would be in this?
x would remain x
Just the base would change
Actually if you can't wrap your head around this, you dont need to do it its fine
I'm just not sure what you mean
This property isn't clear?
"Ah well apply it now on k(x) and see what you can think of"
Okay what is a
and what is b
That was just a general statement
a is the base, b is the argument
See if you can find what the base and argument are in k(x)
Like one minute you're saying t oapply the formula the next you're saying not to
Say to try but say nvm
Like idk what you want
I said not to since you couldnt understand so we should try another method
Have you understood the formula?
If I had an example I could understand
Ok
Oh i made a typo lol
Yeah idk lol 1/(1/k(x) except there is no log
Yeah i just wrote the identity wrong so scratch that
See a simpler method is just
See that the base b in k(x) is between 0 and 1
That means that the higher the power of b, the lesser the resulting number will be
Can you understand that @glad heart ?
Okay I think so
Okay so
Do you see that when x is small (ie, closer to origin), log base b of x would be large?
Since b^some big number= a small number (x)
Okay I think so
Ok so you see that the curve is decreasing
Hence the answer between black and green curve is ____?

Hello 👋 over here for question 1) I solved it in the next picture and I’m wondering if my “dissecting” of the absolute value function is correct?
@ me when someone answers thanks !
Yeah, it’s correct
But over here the interval x>2 and the interval -2>x<=0 are the same is there a way to combine them or should they stay this way?
You could write
[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \phantom{-}\frac{2x}{x^2-4}, &x > 2 \text{ or } -2 < x \le 0 \ -\frac{2x}{x^2-4}, &\text{otherwise} \end{cases} ]

can someone help explain this vectors question
unit vectors have a magnitude of 1
in a 2d space, if 2 vectors are parallel then their slopes are equal
just like linear equations
srry
ig u could understand it like this , do u know what head to tail rule is?
not that name but i think i know what ur talking about
wait , is ur answer correct?
ah ok ok , ur asking what to do next , my bad
ye
ok might have to ping the helpers role , i forgot this vector stuff
but yeah , use the fact that unit vectors have magnitude of 1 , (find magnitude of ur unit vector)
it's one way to do it
but I have found another way that does not need it
just as usual how you determine the unit vector of a vector
you divide the vector by it's magnitude to obtain the unit vector
same thing here
right i know
so I said that the magitude of OB was that thing under the root
<@&286206848099549185> could you please help me please
not necessarily
you first calculate OB
then calculate it's magnitude in terms of b
Whats your difficulty
Take A as origin everything will be great
I don't really understand what to do next after those stes
and you're already given the unit vector of OB
Then O and B will resolve to points
Ok ill try with starting with A

That would just give you the resultant vector of ab and oa
Not ob
group the i components together
Oh nm
Its oa not ao
So this is right
i did in the next line
oh
ok now divide OB by it's magnitude to obtain its unit vector
