Yep there can be quite a bit
also a style comment, but you can simplify the (n - 1)!/n! down to make your expression a bit neater, just in case you wanna write it out or something 
oh yeah true i didnt even think of that i can just leave it as 1/n
also a more general question can you always take out that first number term like i did?
i did it to make it alternate smoothly
before it was + + - + - + so i wanted it to alternate better
Yea you can always e.g. do the constant term separate and then have the rest where the general formula holds

what is limx−→0 e−1/x2
@frail crane Has your question been resolved?
The limit is the same from both sides, yes
But the answer isn't 0
Wait, do you mean (e^-1) / (x^2) or (e^(-1/x^2)?
e power (-1/x^2)
ok, thx....just answering the last part of the question...i can just define f such that f(x)=0 for x=0 right?
Yeah, exactly, you would define the function so that f(x) = e^(-1/x^2) if x ≠ 0 and 0 if x = 0

At what distance from the vertex of a convex (convex) mirror is the object located, if its clear image is created at a distance of 30 cm from the vertex of the mirror? The focal length of the mirror is 50 cm. What is the height of the image, if the height of the object is 5cm, what is the mirroring ratio?
!status
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
@marsh nymph Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> help me
Do you know the mirror equation and the relationship between that and the mirroring ratio
no
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o}$
°Jason Parker°
$f$ is the focal length, $d_i$ is the image distance and $d_o$ is the object distance
°Jason Parker°
The mirroring ratio is given by $m = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}$
°Jason Parker°
i have no idea what that means

Yk how they said same amount of money?
Convert the denominators to 12
X/5=Y/4=Z/3=t
Make them in one variable
B is the correct answer
@still temple
ok
ah ok
wait nvm i got it
i still dont get
Do you want a simpler explanation of the first question?
yes
yes
Let us assume the amount of money given by each is 1$
ok
Then how much money each gave to Otto?
And 1/3 of 1
yes
4
It was after she gave right?
yes
I'm asking before
5
yes
How much Loki had?
Correct
total money given/total money of group
exactly

what
how should i find c
$c=3-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}$
Skill_Issue
y-3/x-2 = tan30°
you use the point given and input it into your equation
to find c
@half stump
y=mx+c
^
^ so is this right?
if you calculated everything and solved it correctly, yes
this is textbook answer
can you get the text book answer in your form?
wouldnt it be 3sqrt3-2+x = sqrt(3) y?
y = 3-2/sqrt(3) +x/(sqrt)3
= 3-2*sqrt(3)/3 +sqrt(3)x/3?
=y
which is your ans??
where did 9 come from

How do i find the mode in this situation? How am i supposed to find the next class frequency with reference to the modal class if the next interval doesn't exist?
The modal class we have here is 134-139, d¹ = 10-9 =1, i = 6
d² is equal to the frequency of the modal class (10) subtracted by the next class frequency which doesn't exist.
im asking what do i do when i come across this situation?

In a casino we can play the game "Throw yourself rich." In this the player throws a die, and receives as many euros as the die has dots. Robbe participates.
(a) What profit can Robbe theoretically expect per game if you don't take into account the wager he has to make at each game? What is his average profit after 6 games?
(b) How big must a player's wager be to be sure that the casino does not make a loss in the long run?
idk how to start
it’s w stochastic variables
so I did X = profit of Robbe
But then idk what to do if you don’t take the wager into account
@tender ibex Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> 🫣🙏
Well for part (a) isn't it just the Expected value of the die roll, which is just the average of the number of die dots: (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 = 3.5
and how can I use probability
im not sure what you mean?
well that's what i did basically. I added all the possible outcomes multiplied by their probability
so 1 * 1/6 + 2 * 1/6 + 3 * 1/6 +...
that gives the expected value (average winnings) of the game
well we know the average profit for each game is 3.5
so if the casino needs the wager to at least be 3.5 so they dont make a loss
But if it’s the average profit for the player then im confused
Why not less than 3.5?
@storm dagger ?
ok lemme explain like this
imagine i set the wager = 3
then each person who plays the game will receive (on average) 3.5 - 3 = 0.5
that means the casino is losing (on average) 0.5 each time a person plays the game
so if 10,000 people play the game, the casino loses 5,000
ah I got confused thinking less than 3.5 was a loss but it’s only a loss if it’s less than 0
for the player
I got it tho ty
no worries :)

Guys I'm taking calc 2 and need a graphing calculator (something where I can input two functions and it'll graph them and their intersection)
What would be good for that? Idk much about calculators since I've never used them so which one could do that?
ti-84 plus ce
depends where you live
so im guessing that's American?
yes
are you American?
As long as it can graph two functions at the same time
I am studying in America
ok, i cant help u lol. different product s in different countries
here in the uk, the Casio CG-50 is popular
i just don’t like the ti-84 plus regular
Question, is there a calculator that can straight up calculate the area under a curve?
yea
ti-84
plus
Ye ti84s are like a 100 bucks, but u can prolly get them used for cheaper
bruh how is this allowed in exams then
I mean I need it because graphing the function without it seems like hell
But still
exams i take don’t allow calculator but also they might want you to show work
finding the anti derivative and integrating by hand
Yea but realistically speaking if you can graph the area on the calculator then just copy paste the graph on your paper
The only thing you'd have to do is integrate
For me graphing is the difficult part so if that's taken care of, it seems futile
I'll take it tho lmao, thanks guys

Can someone just explain why in the question(which is asking: without derivatives determine the maximum and minimum of the function) in the last row why is it equal to + or - pi/2 why not just pi/2?
and btw in a previous question you also had to determine where it's defined so thats how he knew to equal them to 1 and -1 fyi.
this is the function sorry
it is $\pm \frac{\pi}{2}$ as cos is equal to 0 at both those points

sketched the parallelogram not sure how to solve it
Probably wanna do some substitutions here
like clearly you have x+3y repeating in multiple places
and -x+5y
so subtitute those for, let's say u and v, and then that converts area A_xy into area A_uv
Did you get that?
Do you want me to explain it to you in greater detail?
yeah that would be great
Right so first let's set x+3y = u
and -x+5y = v
that changes our integrand function to u/v
now applying these substitutions to the bounded area we get
u = 0, u = 6, v = 1, v = 8
so we these are now our bounds of integration basically
We also have to rewrite dA = dx*dy in terms of du and dv
oh okay
Let me just recheck on how to do that
no problem
Are you familiar with the jacobian?*
not exactly is there a calculator I can use
So basically when you do a change of variables in integrals like these
dA = |J| dA_new
Where J is the Jacobian
defined as
oh okay
so you have to express x = x(u,v)
y = y(u,v)
then do the partials
partial derivatives
and then calculate the determinant of the jacobian
got it then I plug it into the integral?
Yeah so now you have double integral of u/v times absolute value of the Jacobian dudv
And now you solve that
okay got it
thank you
is the integral upper bound 8 lower bound 1 f upper bound 6 lower bound 0 f u/v -1/16 dudv?
the u bounds are 0 to 6
v bounds are 1 to 8
so yeah
wait
what did you get
for the jacobian?
-1/16
Let me recheck
okay
Let me check
So I got (6/8) * ln|8|
How did you solve the integral?
Oh nevermind
hold on
yeah it's correct
urs?
i got it right thank you sm for ur help bro

I get that it should be double but how can an arc have degrees? sorry if this question is stupid
and how does it prove BCE and BAC are equal
since BOC is an isosceles triangle other two angles are 90-alpha
and we proved angle BCE and BAC are equal
assume all 6 six pieces are identical
does it make sense now
@dry sedge Has your question been resolved?
I’ll check in a sec
Kind of, but I don’t even know what alpha is. We aren’t taught abt alpha at my level I don’t think
Is it just a substitution for x?
No.
alpha is name of symbol i used in this question
COB is 2 alpha
Draw isosceles triangle (COB)
COB = 2x, CAB = x (angle at centre subtended by same arc as angle at circumference)
OCB = COB = 90 - x
OCE = 90°
BCE = 90 - (90 - x)
But how is 90 - 90 - x = x
Shouldn’t it be -x @uncut cipher
in mine I substituted alpha for x sorry
I but what I got was BAC = x
and BCE = -x

Can someone explain how to solve a completing the square problem. Like X^2-4x-7=0
essentially, $(x+a)^2=x^2+2ax+a^2$, so if you have anything of the form $gx^2+bx + c = 0$, you can do a=b/2, and do $x^2+2ax+a^2-a^2+c=0$ to $(x+a)^2-a^2+c=0$.
fish
In your example, you would have a=-2, since 2ax=-4x, so the expression becomes $(x-2)^2-4-7=0$

does my explanation make sense?
Yeah

But can you show the original question please
i need to create a function on python that can give me $\psi^{-1}(t)$ for t in R and they say we have to solve exp(psi(t)) = exp(t) first, i dont see the correlation
abyssworld
we can use newton raphson for the coding part
This seems wrong at first glance since taking the log of both sides will imply that psi(t)=t
Which isn’t the gamma function as you said it was
wait typo sorry
exp(psi(x)) = exp(t)
yes srry my bad
Okay so psi(x) = t. I’m confused still what the question is

Am I missing something maam?
no i don’t understand either
yes now sorry i understand, i didnt read well

can i ask a quixk question
for sets
n(so and so)
if its a number
you add
if its a letter or wtv
u count
- What do you mean by so and so
liek
- Is n an operator
Can you type in one sentence
What does n represent? It's cardinality?
yh
but when its a number you add them all up and if they are letters count how many letters there are right?
Are you saying that A and B are sets
yep
You don't "add" them up. "Add" would mean, at least to me, that it's some sort of bijection to prove cardinality lol.
A union B consists of all elements in A and B.
Is that what you mean?
@still temple
more like count not add
i think
well
thing is
like
the element is a number
i forgot how to explain it
but when its a number
it has that value
Is it an operation on a set?

can someone explain how this error happened wallahi im so confused
i think its on the -2log 0.5
-log6-2log0.5
log(1/6)+log(4)
log(4/6)=log(2/3)
is another way it can be simplified
^
alternatively you can distribute the negative and get -log 1.5 which turns into log 2/3
my question is why is -log(6)-2log(0.5) != -(log(6*0.5^2))
first you can distribute negative
then move the two coefficient into log 1/2
so square the 1/2
then multiply the numbers inside the logs
almost yea
its just not supposed to be negative
its supposed to be postiive log i think
yes
thats criminal for them to make you show work like that
'determine the exact vlaue of x in form log(m)/log(n)'
im just lazy and dont want to write it out then take a picture then upload it so im doing this,, lmao

hiii i dont know how to start on this problem
What is the definition of secant in terms of sine and cosine?
would that refer to meaning like secant is 1/x
because its the reciprocal of cosime
otheol
Right?
yes
Can you use your calculator to find the value of $\cos\theta$?
otheol
would theta be the 100 degrees shown on the graph ?

this gotta be false right
also this has to be true cuz it converges for all real numbers
using root test or am i tripping
yaeh im trippin
the second one i got intervals -4<x<-2
When i substitued i got (-1)^n and (1)^n
but its center -3 is between -4 and -2 so it has to converge at it right?
what is it's center? x = -3 ?
yeah
it converges for it's center
You don’t even need to find the interval of convergence, just note that it’s the sum of 0^n
Test for divergence
so find if lim of (-1)^n is = 0 ?
check the limit
it isnt 0
therefore it diverges
and the (1)^n same process?
thats the one im talking about

A rectangle is inscribed in an isosceles, right-angled
triangle ABC as shown in the figure.
The hypotenuse AB in the triangle has length 2a.
Investigate how large the area of the rectangle can be.
are the other points named? is this the correct diagram?
why would the other points need to be named
i was thinking that the 2 other angels of one of the triangles was 45 meaning that it was 45 45 90 triangel. since ab=2a then A to 0 = a and therfor 2b^2=a^2 meaning that the sides has a length of sqrt(2)*b. i also know that for every "a" the A to C its "increasing" ( dont rememver the engilsh word think the derivatie of the line) would be sqrt(2)*b. and i was also thinking that when x = 0 on the line g(0) would be sqrt(2)*b witch means that maybe g(x)=sqrt(2)bx+sqrt(2). then for the area of the rectangle would there for be a point on the g(x) witch i could call p (for point) the area of the recktangle would then be Ar(p)=g(p)*p. but i unsure if this is the correct way? could someone give me a hint to how to solve this?
you're given that it's isosceles, so the angles at A and B are 45, yes
no there is no other points named and this is the correct diagram form the problem.
for explanation simplicity, I was just asking.
I dont understand everything you're saying, but the beginning is correct.
what part do you not understand so i could try to explain it better?

Hey I have a question about general mathematics since i'm going into class 9 and physics is getting hard because i dont have a grasp on concepts from grade 6,7,8 If there anything particular way i should resolve this issue I'm having trouble with fractions decimals and equations
Understanding the theory gives you the ability to do the questions
Doing a lot of questions makes you fast
would you recommend any particular resource for this purpose
Does your school use a textbook?
ncert
Hit the textbooks. Lot of fractions is just knowing the theorems. For, decimal should know rounding and conversions
Usually the Cambridge one (which my school used) has a lot of questions
I'm looking for like a refresher course or website so i can revise these concepts quickly and then practice lots of questions
never heard of it i'll check it out
check top-voted, trending and recent questions for questions. Go through every post possible before asking a question

is this false cuz its not in its pure form of x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1
you can even rewrite this in that form, but whether or not a hyperbola is in that form doesn't actually affect the fact it is one.
is the equation in an equivalent form to its pure form?
yeah
im just trying to get rid of any tricks by making sure with you guys
i have a quick question tho
do i use ast with this

Having trouble computing the Ricci tensor for the following line element
[ \dd s^2 = \dd r^2 + \tanh^2(r) \dd \varphi^2 ]
shsgd
I have the following non-zero Christoffel Symbols:
[ \Gamma^r_{\varphi\varphi} = \tanh (r) \sech^2 (r) ]
[ \Gamma^{\varphi}{r\varphi} = \frac{1}{\cosh (r) \sinh (r)} ]
[ \Gamma^{\varphi}{\varphi r} = \frac{1}{\cosh (r) \sinh (r)} ]
shsgd
Then, I computed the following Riemann tensor
[ \text{R}^r_{\varphi r \varphi} = - \frac{2 \tanh^2 (r)}{\cosh^2 (r)} ]
shsgd
Thus, by the symmetries,
[ \text{R}^r_{\varphi r \varphi} = -\text{R}^r_{\varphi \varphi r} = \text{R}^{\varphi}{r \varphi r} = -\text{R}^{\varphi}{r r \varphi} ]
shsgd
The Ricci tensor is given by
[ \text{R}{ab} = \text{R}^{\lambda}{a\lambda b} ]
Which results in
[ \text{R}{rr} = \text{R}{\varphi\varphi} = - \frac{2 \tanh^2 (r)}{\cosh^2 (r)} ]
shsgd
But I'm told that
[ \text{R}{\varphi\varphi} = \frac{2 \tanh^2 (r)}{\cosh^2 (r)} ]
[ \text{R}{rr} = \frac{2}{\cosh^2 (r)} ]
shsgd
@outer lodge Has your question been resolved?
Turns out these symmetries hold for lower indices only, so have to perform some index raising/lowering
[ \text{R}^{r}{\varphi r \varphi} = g^{rr}\text{R}{r \varphi r \varphi} = g^{rr}\text{R}{\varphi r \varphi r} = g^{rr}g{\varphi\varphi}\text{R}{\varphi r \varphi r} ]
[ \implies g^{rr}g{\varphi\varphi}\text{R}_{\varphi r \varphi r} = \frac{2\tanh^2 (r)}{\cosh^2 (r)} ]

Hello,
I got a math problem about permutation and I dont know how to solve it
How many combinations are there in total?
And how many combinations are there that do not contain a constant?
I think it is P(5,2) that would be 20
And for this I think it is P(3,2) which would be 6
That's the combinations that contain a consonant
This is the number of words that contain only consonants
Oh
Yeah Idk how I missed that

this kinda makes sense to me, but i tried to do (13 choose 1) * (4 choose 2) * (12 choose 1) * (4 choose 2) * (11 choose 1) * (4 choose 1) which is wrong
the only difference here is that the solution does 13 choose 2 and I do (13 choose 1) * (12 choose 1). Why is the difference arising? what is the difference between the first and the second ways
i’m pretty sure it’s because doing 13C1 and then 12C1 can lead to a repeated hand. Eg (22,33 and 33,22)
doing it by just 13C2 eliminates that
Notice 13C1 * 12C1 = 2 * 13C2
and this
ahhh i see
didn't even think of that, i guess ill just build that inuition

How do I prove that, given a circumference C(O;r), and points a point P inside the circumference and a point Q outside the circumference, the intersection between PQ and C(O;r) is a single point?
It's easy too see, but I need a hint on what properties to use
you could consider this by thinking of the distance PO and QO and what happens when you go from P to Q

When proving a limit using epsilon-delta proof, can I split epsilon into cases? like if epsilon is even, then pick delta s.t. and if epsilon odd, then pick delta s.t.
cuz it's like for every epsilon > 0 there exists delta > 0, so if epsilon is even, there does exist a delta, and if epsilon odd, there does exist delta
👀 for what proof
usually epsilon is just some positive quantity
it might not be even or odd
