f(why am i here )= I don't know
what is the inverse function?
this also just an equation
I don't see f^-1(x) in there
I just replaced y with x
okay, and how do we get inverse function from that?
This is it
where is f^-1(x)?
$f^{-1}(x)= x^{1/3}-3$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
okay, this works
now apply the same method above
f(why am i here )= I don't know
(or if you wanna do less work, use this equation and do substitution x = h^-1(u))
$f^{-1}(y)=cx$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
so $x =\frac{f^{-1}(y)}{c}$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
or $y= \frac{f^{-1}(x)}{c}$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
f(why am i here )= I don't know
so $h(x) = \frac{f^{-1}(x)}{c}$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
which makes 0 ense
Yeah, the switch isn't really a legal algebraic operation
h^-1(x)
you can do it without the switch
I think sticking to $y=. \frac{f^{-1}(x)}{c}$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
may be a better idea
Why?
actually, what do you mean by sticking to it?
I mean
sticking to it as a method or as an answer?
f(why am i here )= I don't know
this doesn't define a function though
whole this x-y swapping thing is a method to help you find the inverse
not a proof or anything
how is $y = h^{-1} (x)$
f(why am i here )= I don't know
this is what fucked up during the x-y swap
we can work from here though
before the swap
y = h(x)
so x = h^-1(y)
so $h^{-1}(y) = \frac{f^{-1}(y)}{c}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
and this gives us the expression for the inverse function
without doing the swap of variables x and y

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
btw all this is valid only if the inverse exists

bit confused here
you need curly brackets for the full exponent
Ishaan
and then i need to find all the values
that doesnt look correctly differentiated
remember that x^2/3 is part of the denominator !
yeah i got it all right so far i just did some weird factorisation and cancellation and got this its definitely right but i just dont know what to do from here
im going to differentiate it myself
okay yeah
anyways, your inequation can be solved kinda easily if you separate it in parts
for the product to be positive, either both components are positive, or both components are negative. Obviously the equality is when either is 0
can you solve $x^{-5/3}>0$ and $2+x>0$?
LordFelix
ohh
so for the whole function to be positive either both negative or both positive
cuz then it makes +ve
what does ve mean?
+ve -> positive
j an abbreviation
is the $x>=2$ irrelavant

i need help translating the math expression from slovenian to english. We call it "stekališče" in Slovenian. The definition is that the number a is the "stekališče" of a series an, when every epsilon (ε) in the area (a-ε, a+ε) there is an infinite sequence of numbers. What do you call "stekališče" in English?
we'd call a the limit of the sequence / series, and say the sequence / series converges to a
No thats not what I am looking for
we call it progressions , they r divided into several parts like arithmetic and geometric
not sure if this would help u
oh, you really did mean that there was just an infinite sequence of numbers
A theoretical question from my previous exam is, translated from Slovenian to English: Write down every "stekališče" of the series an = whats underlined with red in the screenshot? Does the series have a limit?
How do you translate "stekališče" to English and what would the answer to the first part of this question be?
that straigh up look like a arithmetic progression to me
it jus looks a bit more elborated
it's not an arithmetic progression, it's just a sequence
what does "zaporedje" mean
series / sequence
also interesting, a series is what we call a sequence of partial sums of another sequence
while I stall, $(S_n)=\left(\sum_{k=0}^na_k\right)$
Flip
this is what pons translates it to, I guess you were right
I'm gonna look through my old notes and see if we ever did define this
so then what would all the points of convergence be for this an?
5 and -5
sin(npi/2) alternates between 1 and -1
and 5 - 1/n approaches 5
cluster point/accumulation point is prolly the better translation
how did you figure this out
how for example would I go about figuring this out myself
ah ah, my fault, I'm a bit wrong
but you imagine what the sequence npi/2 does on the unit circle
if that makes sense
a sequence of angles
at each step, starting at (1,0), you rotate 90 degrees around the circle, counterclockwise
on each even step, you're at (1,0) or (-1,0)
I get this but I dont get what exactly we are looking for
you mean 180?
I don't
that's not what that would mean
on each step in the seqeunce npi/2, you're just adding pi/2
oh ok my bad
pi/2 is 90 degrees, so you're just taking quarter steps around a circle
so for even n, you reach points with a vertical component of 0
so the answer would be 5 and -5?
for n odd, you're either at a point with a vertical component of 1 (if n = 1 mod 4) or -1 (if n = -1 mod 4)
no, I was wrong, sorry
the accumulation points of sin(npi/2) are therefore -1, 0, and 1
corresponding to n being 1 mod 4, 0 mod 2, and -1 mod 4 respectively
the sequence is multiplied by the sequence 5 - 1/n, which just converges to 5, full stop
so it scales these accumulation points by 5
yielding 5, 0, and -5 as accumulation points of the sequence of interest
but I dont get why these are accumulation points
how are valuest that are not n=-1, =0 or =1 not accumulation points
it might help to try proving it for yourself
you have subsequences of a_n converging to -5, 0, 5
that's what flip was saying with the 1 mod 4, 0 mod 2, -1 mod 4
this implies that they are accumulation points
the 3 points (1, 0, -1) are also the only points in the image of the sequence sin(npi/2)
each of which are hit infinitely many times
sorry but I still dont understand
for other points a, you can try and find an ε such that (a-ε, a+ε) has no terms of the sequence inside if you want
this shows pretty directly they're not accumulation points
but it doesnt reach -5 and 5
oh I see, it always gets closer to -5 and 5 but never actually reaches those values
whilst in 0 it does
right
desmos trick, write n = 50 or some other large number, k = [0, ..., n], and replace each of your x's with k's to get a more honest representation of your sequence
so what would the answer be here, I think its sin (pi*n)/3 or /2
not sure which one it is, would you maybe now whats more likely that the teacher would put?
can I write my thinking process?
of course
so we ignore (1-1/n) and only look at sin at the start right?
sure
so when we look at the circle for sin, pi/2 would be 1 if n=1, 0 if n=0 and 0 if the n=2
if were looking for the division to be /2 and not /3
it really does look like a 3 because it doesn't have the tail of a 2, but alright
ill do for /2 first since its kinda easier hahah
fair alright lol
is this correct?
yeah that's all true
so the answer would be n = 1 mod 4, n = 0 mod 2?
or n = 1 mod 4, n = 0 mod 4 and n = 2 mod 4
i think its the second
since in the first we can go to 3pi/4 right?
that's not an answer, but also you're missing consideration for n = 3 mod 4 (equivalently -1 mod 4)
also, 0 mod 4 or 2 mod 4 is equivalent to 0 mod 2
but I dont understand why these are the answers, arent all points on this graph points of convergence?
since if you were to take any point and look at its left limit and right limit it would be equal to f(A) if A were the point
I'm confused by what you're saying; what are we doing here again?
are we determining the image of the sequence sin(npi/2)?
and/or its accumulation points?
were looking for the points of convergence aka. accumulation points (im guessing "points of convergence" and accumulation points" are interchangeable) of (1-1/n)*sin(npi/2)
ok, but we began by saying "we can just look at the sin part first"
yes
what are we doing with the sin part?
sorry, looking away from the sin part, I am confused as to what even are accumulation points aka points of convergence
I know the theoretical definition but I dont understand it
imagine an unruly sequence of points that does not converge
I'll produce an image brb
also the duck on your pfp is cute
I like looking at it (no weird sh#*, he just cute thats it)
hell yeah lol
ok by produce an image I apparently mean haphazardly sketch something
suppose this is an unruly sequence
an accumulation point of this sequence is a real number for which infinitely many terms in the sequence can be arbitrarily close to that number
i.e., every neighborhood of this number admits infinitely many terms inside it
here I've tried to allow two accumulation points indicated by the dashed line
no matter how close we zoom in to one of these points (lines, I guess), we should always find infinitely points of the sequence in our scope
even if there's like, gaps between the terms themselves
so basically an infinite number of points go towards a value but never reach it and these points are called accumulation points or points of convergence?
you can even drop the "but never reach it" quantifier. it can reach it, why not. the terms of the sequence just have to get arbitrarily close to the accumulation point infinitely often
I'm a big fan of calling them accumulation points because of topology
so points that appear an infinite amount of times but are also = to that value are also accumulation points?
limit points is also fine but in this context it feels wack to call them that lol
for example 0 in the last task?
it depends on what you mean... for example, (1, 1/2, 1/3, 2, 1/5, ..., 1/(3n+1), 1/(3n+2), 2, 1/(3n+4), 1/(3n+5), 2, ...) is a sequence that does reach "1", but it doesn't get arbitrarily close to 1 infinitely often. it was just that one time
it also has 0 as an accumulation point, because the subsequence (1/2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/6, ...) converges to 0
ohh ok I think I get it
it also has 2 as an accumulation point, because (2, 2, ...) is a subsequence that converges to 2. we don't care that it equals 2 always, just that it gets arbitrarily close to 2
hopefully that gives a bit more intuition on the actual definition. the definition is safest to use
ok so looking only at sin, the result of sin cannot be 0 right? because then the point is always 0 and doesnt approach a value infinitely
what do you mean by result?
as in sin(...) cannot be = 0
sin(0pi/2) = sin(0) = 0 though
oh but of course you can't start your indexing at 0
sorry
well, sin(2kpi) = sin(4kpi/2) = 0 for all nonzero k
in fact sin(kpi) = sin(2kpi/2) = 0 for all nonzero k
yes, so one of the answers isnt n = 0 mod 2 right?
and 1 - 1/(2k) is defined for such points

what do you mean by answer?
answer for this
we don't talk about the congruency classes of accumulation points of a sequence
so n = 0 mod 2 isn't even in the right space to be called an answer
oh so we talk about the number it approaches?
the reason why I ever brought up congruency classes of your input n is because it produces an infinite family of values for n for which sin(npi/2) is some constant
sin(npi/2) = 0 whenever n = 0 mod 2
hence 0 is in the range of the sequence, and is hit infinitely many times
sorry for interrupting with this but my exam is tomorrow thats why I'm in a bit of a hurry. Whats the answer for the last question?
to this
we've actually already talked about the accumulation points of sin(npi/2) -- it's the same as the image, which is {1, 0, -1}
corresponding to inputs n whenever n = 1 mod 4, n = 0 mod 2, and n = -1 mod 4 respectively
we know that's all of them, because these congruency classes partition the set of integers in the domain of the sequence
woah woah woah, can you dumb this down a bit for me?
yeah: if you look at any integer that's at least 1, it's either 1 mod 4, 0 mod 2, or -1 mod 4
there's no other options, and no overlap between the cases
we've described all of the integers
so an examle of n = -1 mod 4 would be 7, 3, -1, -5, ...?
yes
however we're actually not considering the negative integers, probably
because it'd be weird to randomly skip over n = 0, which we'd have to do since 1/0 isn't a number
so they're {3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...}
ok I am very sorry about this but its gonna feel like your unteaching me things but I promise I'm learning from this since I didnt know what a accumulation point is b4 this and now I know
and its gonna feel like this because im going to ask the same question I did b4
this is fine
but how did you figure out that -1, 0 and 1 are the accumulation points
for example how did you figure out that -1 is a accumulation point
not for all of them, please tell me only for -1
or just a single one out of these 3 so I can understand how to find all of them
we know this because:
- -1 is in the range of the sequence sin(npi/2) : it corresponds to the value of n = 3
- the number -1 is hit infinitely many times : if n satisfies sin(npi/2) = -1, then n + 4 also satisfies sin[(n+4)pi/2] = sin(npi/2 + 2pi) = sin(npi/2) = -1
ok wait, I'm lost at the first point
ohhh ok
and so n = -5 = sin(-5pi/2) = -1 right?
again, outside of range, but as numbers this is true
these two bullet points yield the existence of a subsequence sin((4k+3)pi/2), defined on all k, which is just the constant sequence (-1, -1, ...)
this constant sequence certainly converges to -1
thus -1 is an accumulation point of the sequence sin(npi/2)
what do you mean by outside of range
actually I mean outside of domain lol
in context we're not considering values of n less than 1
whats the answer to this question?
-5 is outside of the domain of the original original sequence, (1 - 1/n) * sin(npi/2)
I'm nitpicking your example of choice for n
oh because we are looking from n = 1 onward right?
right
ok
outside of the context of the sequence, however, it is true that sin(-5pi/2) = -1
so why wouldnt n = 0.5 be one of the points that is for an accumulation point? I'm looking for disproving counterarguments to this thats why this is my question
and n = 0.5 mod 4
n = 0.5 is not in the domain of the sequence
and this simply doesn't mean anything, sorry
the sequence is only defined for integers that are at least 1
0.5 is not an integer
i know
here's a problem I'll propose
Suppose you have a finite, nonempty set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ and a sequence $(a_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ for which $a_n\in X$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}_0$. Show that $(a_n)$ has accumulation points, and every accumulation point is a point in $X$.
ok
Flip
is this a question?
I have no clue its not a concrete problem like the one I gave where there are numbers
there are numbers! there's a whole set of them, they all live in X
you can give them names even
ok fine I'll backpedal
you probably meant to ask "why are 1, 0, and -1 the only accumulation points of the sequence sin(npi/2)" which I do know you asked before, sorry
yes
the reason is because sin(npi/2) can only ever take on values 1, 0, and -1
suppose that x is a limit point of sin(npi/2) that differs from 1, 0, and -1
why can it not take the value of (root of 3)/2?
define $\epsilon$ to be the minimum of the set of half-distances between these points, $\epsilon=\min\left{\frac{|x-1|}{2},\frac{|x|}{2},\frac{|x+1|}{2}\right}$
Flip
this is a trigonometry question; refer to the unit circle
yea, for sin its at 60 degrees, I dont get why this cant be the answer
we're talking about sin(npi/2), not sin(npi/3)
it starts at an angle of 0 and each step corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation of 90 degrees
you only ever reach the right, top, left, and bottom points of the circle
oh ok so n cant be = (root of 3)*(1/pi) since its not in Df
with horizontal components 0, 1, 0, -1 respectively
is this channel only for one person only

aka in the definition area
f: Df -> Zf
that's correct
ok
cuz i got no one helping me u think u can help me after
I think I get it now
it depends

Hey, am I using the right formula for figuring out the volume of this triangular pyramid?
This seems to be an irregular triangular pyramid, and if that's the case, shouldn't the formula be a bit different as this formula is mainly used for regular triangular pyramid?
If this is not irregular, then can you please explain why so? What would make this pyramid irregular?
1/3(base area)*height of pyramid
is it same for the irregular ones?
or the one in the image
This is the general formula for volume of pyramids 👍🏿🙃
yeah i understand now, thanks
was confused as to how to input the numbers

someone plz help
the greatest prime that divides :
1^2 - 2^2 + 3^2 - 4^2 + 5^2........ -98^2 +99^2
i think it uses the a^2 - b^2 property but not sure
Try using it then
This can be simplifies so nicely
what sum do you get if you apply a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b) for every consectuive pair?
indeed
(for simplicity, you can start at the pair 3^2 - 2^2)
-4948
somehow
Take mind of the last member being a +
I expected you to just write out the sum
yes i did not consider the first 1^2, started from 2nd, its coming an an ap of d=-4
if you start from 2nd, then it should be (3^2 - 2^2) + (5^2 - 4^2) + ... + (99^2 - 98^2)
so the overall sum should be positive
exactly
wait asec
it should be d = 4
oh
yes
still how tosolve tho
it goes on from 5,9,.......,197
so 49 total numbers
so n/2(a+l)
for sum
okay, so what do you get?
just do the factorization
it's divisible by 10
so 405 * 5 * 2
now it's still divisible by 5
is 4050 correct tho?
Result:
4949
Result:
4050
hmm
Oh wait
so 5's the ans?
4950
550 / 2 = 225
ig ans is 11 then
It's the same kind of brainfart
,calc 2 * 5 * 5 * 3 * 3 *11
Result:
4950
thanks!

Guys I got 4 hours for question 4, but the answer key says the answer is about 4 hours and 9 hours?
i think you have to do 4 + 9 / 2
Wdym?
4 + 9 = 13 / 2 = 7,5
Does it mean for how long is she away?
Yea?
no, she stayed 4 - 9 hours 3 miles away
Yea
no, it is asking approximately how much time did she stayed 3 miles away
this would be the answer
For 5 hours
she stayed 5 hours 3 miles away but the book is asking approximately at what time she stayed
Ok
So what is it
wdym
we know that tanya stayed 3 miles away from home for 5 hours right? 4 - 9

I want to find the domain of the following function:
1/tgx
How do you usually tackle such problems?
I know that the domain of tgx itself is: (-pi/2 + pi * n; pi/2 + pi * n) where n is any whole number.
We also need to make sure that sinx is not equal to 0 and find the intersection with the former. That is the most confusing part for me.
Also, what should I generally use a guidance when it comes to finding the trig domains, the unit circle or the graph of the given function itself?
Like, I don't want to just memorize the domain of tgx for example,
So tan(x) is not defined anywhere cos(x) = 0.
Since we're taking its reciprocal, we also want to avoid places where tan(x) = 0, that is, where sin(x) = 0.
The domain of 1/tan(x) will then be the anywhere cos(x) != 0 and sin(x) != 0.
So no integer multiple of pi/2, essentially
The answer from my textbook is ( (pi * n)/2; (pi)/2 + pi *n).
How do we get this range? Should I use the unit circle?
Let me show you what I mean visually
sorry it took me FOREVER
basically I try to look at this when I want to determine the domain / signs etc
so here we need to make sure that it is not equal to 2pi pi/2 pi or 3pi/2, right?
The part that confuses me the most is how we can represent that with one specifc range
or should we try to look at this graphically instead?
Just to be sure, your textbook suggests that the domain of $f(x)$ is $$\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty (n\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi)$$?
Azyrashacorki
((pi * n)/2; pi/2 + (pi * n)/2)
Or maybe it would be $$\bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{n\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi + n\pi}{2}\right)$$
yeah
Yeah ok that makes more saense
Azyrashacorki
Well since the only disallowed inputs are the axes, you want to write down the "strict" quadrants.
So (0, pi/2), (pi/2, pi) , etc.
yeah
So essentially, that means you can pick any multiple of pi/2 as your lower bound, and add pi/2 to it
Any multiple of pi/2 will make those intersection points, right? yeah so the range of 2 such points
Did you look at the unit circle as a helper? or we can figure it out just like that
Yes, the intervals are made up of all consecutive multiples of pi/2
It's always a good idea to refer back to the unit circle for guidance
yeah it makes more sense now as I look at it, ty!
So like, can we derive say, the values of sin that make it positive? using the unit circle
sorry I just want to make sure I get it
so for positive sin we would have first and second quadrant
You can express the domain on just [0, 2pi] from the unit circle, and once you have a general idea, you can just add multiples of 2pi to that
yeah cuz sin has a period of 2pi, if we were dealing with tg/ctg I
Yep
I'd add pi instead
so what would we get for positive sin
our starter range is (0, pi)
that is where sin is positive
so we get (0 + 2pi * k; pi + 2pi *k)
sorry can I ask u one more question
say we need to find all the values where cos is 0
these values are of kind pi/2 + pi * k
but cos has a period of 2 pi * k
so for some we do add 2pi * k and for other values we don't? like it is just not as intuitive for me to add pi here
I'd expect to add 2 pi k all the time but graphically it does make sense that we should add pi
cos has a period of 2pi, but it crosses the x axis twice in one period, once at pi/2 and once at 3pi/2
oh I see, so before I write any range I need to check the period's graph first
Azyrashacorki
So it all comes back to the period being 2pi. That's why I suggested you do the work for [0,2pi], i.e. the whole unit circle, and then add multiples of 2pi to your findings.
I see, thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
You know, initially I wanted to solve it as a system of inequalities. Could we possibly get the right answer that way?
Like, I tried to add them together lol
Or maybe that is a wrong approach in general
oh sorry in the orange one it should be 2x
not x
There are some problems where I need to intersect\ multiple ranges like this
but yeah ig unit circle is the best way
but like from here I don't really get anywhere I get a completely off solution lol
Systems of inequalities won't work, because x will never be in two quadrants simultaneously.
yeah that too, I forgot about it lol
You definiely helped me clear up the confusion. Thank you so much, have an awesome day!) I will close the chat now ig cuz all my questions are answered:)
do you have anything to add?)
If you feel like you understand then that's good I've got nothing to add 🙂
I will try to do similar problems now on my own and see if I can do them all, if I still have any doubts, I'll let you know!:)

help😭 how do i do no. 2?
hello sushi
let x= a number
what is its multiplicative inverse
the multiplicative inverse of x
who's sushi😭😭
try setting up an equation that represents this situation
😹😹
who pinged
x + 16/15 = 1/x
oohh
Hey thanks for the help, however, we discourage providing the answer as we wish students to derive the answers on their own.
!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.

nice bio
couldn’t be you
thanks man, found it on whatsapp
ahh i’ve never been there before
i’ve always wanted to go there
never had enough time
how old are you 😭
always busy working ya know
hyatt are you a troll
bro studies 24/7
is @iron ocean your account?
as young as i’ll ever be
😭😭🫶
might be in the same class
just one of them asking should work
we are not
😭😭😭
😭😭😭
HWHAHAHAH😭
kind off 😭
shut up knief
bro
do you really not understand what multiplicative inverse is
or you just don't study at all
i have the answer😭(i think)
your impudence is unwarranted sir
no need to be condescending
69 times 1/69 is 1. so 1/69 is the multiplicative inverse of 69
nice
lmfao
Is that r8ght for no.2
I did not expect you to know how to factorize ngl
you're smart, good

Given that the function ( f(x) ) is twice differentiable at ( x = 0 ), determine the number of correct statements among the following:
① If ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^2} = 1 ), then ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f'(x)}{x} = 2 ).
② If ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f'(x)}{x} = 1 ), then ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^2} = 1 ).
③ If ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^3} = 1 ), then ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^2} = 3 ).
④ If ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f'(x)}{x^2} = 1 ), then ( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^3} = 1 ).
Options:
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4

f(x) is twice differentiable
So we remove cases 3 and 4
1,2 both can be correct
So I guess it's 2 correct statement
Why?
In 3 and 4 we have x³ in denominator, a simple twice differentiable function is a quadratic, so if the denominator is cubic , it should result in the value infinity
Why
Why can't 1 be correct?
The correct answer is only 1
f(x) is twice differentiable function so it may or may not be thrice differentiable
Was thinking that only
Take the limiting case for twice differentiable function as quadratic polyn
And solve the limits
It doesn't satisfy 2nd part
2x/x =2
That's the first part 
I think ur confused between 2nd and first
We can't prove its true or false only by making examples, cuz you can't list all examples exhaustively to make sure every of them all satisfied the condition
For 2nd case let's consider x²-xsinx-cosx
Btw only quadratic polyn is twice differentiable? What about other functions? Idk but maybe some other special functions?
U can find other functions but our aim is to play with the options and eliminate them we are not here doing a case study on twice differentiable functions
If qudratic wasn't enough for eliminating the options we would then have opted for other functions
Aah yeah
Then can you give an example?
It involved sinx, can we still call it quadratic polyn?
Hmm let me think
Tbh rn I can't think of any other function other than quadratic 
Maybe I'm just dumb
@small stream Has your question been resolved?
I want explanation of (2) 😭 Anyone
You want to know why the second statement above is wrong, right?
Is so, try f(x)=x^2/2. The first limit is equal to 1, so that's okay, but the second one is equal to 1/2
So that's a counterexample to the second statement, if that's what you were asking
Aah ty btw how can we rigorously prove that (1) is true
Yeah I was trying that and then I got distracted, my first instinct was to prove it using taylor's theorem, and that's fairly easy to do, but I think there should be a more simple way
Ah yeah you can do something like this: If f(0) where anything different from zero, that the first limit would be equal to infinity (because of the x^2 in the denominator). Then, having an indeterminate form lie 0/0 you can use l'hopital's rule, and conclude
why?
you can't use L'H in any of these cases though
we don't know whether the limit is indeterminate. It's best that you go by counterexamples for these
You actually can't if you do not show that the second limit exists
Could you elaborate
Yeah sorry, I got distracted
anyway: LH says that, under certain hypotesis, if the limit of f'(x)/g'(x) exist, than it is equal to the limit of f(x)/g(x)
what I wanted to do was something like: we know that the limit of f(x)/x^2 is one, it is an indeterminate form (for the reasons I explained before) so, "by LH" we have: the limit of f'(x)/2x=1 and then you can say that the limit of f'(x)/x=2
But we do not know whether or not the limit of f'(x)/x exists
the best you can say is that f'(0) is equal to zero
and that the limit of f'(x)/x should be equal, if it exists, to the limit of f''(x)
but we do not know if that exists
yea so we can use LH in 1, isn't it
yeah
but only because you proved that the limit of f'(x)/x exist in a different way
yeah, anyway it feels safer to use Taylor instead. L'Hôpital's rule has various cases where it can fail.

what did i do wrong?
the correct answer should be $u_{\pi/2}(t)(1-cos(t-\frac{pi}{2}))+sin(t)$ according to wolfram alpha
nevergreen
where $u_{\pi/2}(t)$ is the unit step function at $\frac{\pi}{2}$ (0 if $t<\frac{\pi}{2}$ and 1 if $t>=\frac{\pi}{2}$)
nevergreen
so just replacing the (t-pi/2) with a 1 would make it the correct answer, but that would also break the logic

I think you made an algebraic mistake when moving the f'(0) over and combining fractions?
Correct me if i'm wrong
Also inverse laplace of 1/s is 1
cuz L^-1(n!/s^n+1) where n =0 == t^0

@granite bone Has your question been resolved?
How did you get this result?
i think i made a mistake, was i suppse to do y=3(sin(x))?
3^sin(x)
Determine the range of sin(x) then 3^sin(x)
Since f(g(x)) = f(sin(x)) = 3^sin(x)
this doesn't even give an option as an answer
thanks for the help tho

The question is to find the inverse laplace transform on this
Here is the answer in the memo (they used partial fractions)
Here is the answer I got. I tried completing the square to end up with this answer
I don't know what I did wrong
I havent completely followed your derivation to conclude if you did anything wrong but did you check if the answer really is something different? Cosh and sinh can still be written in terms of e^..
I haven't checked this
turns out they the same I think

What's the original question?
b/c my guess is that n is an integer, but something went wrong along the way
In a geometric series, the first term is 23 and the third term is 92. The sum of all the terms of the series is 62813. How many terms are in the series?
How can I find the common ratio for this?
well how did you find the common ratio?
I sort of guessed like 23x2 is 46 and 46x2 is 92
do it properly with the explicit formula
If we let the first term be a and the common ratio be r, what are the first and third terms in terms of a and r?
Remember $ar^{n-1}$?
Civil Service Pigeon
$r^2=4 \implies r=\pm 2$

ohhh right
Icccc
I'll try it with - 2
Omg that number is so much nicer thx LOL

You spin a 6-sided die on one of its vertices on a flat table. What is the angle between the table and one of the bottom faces of the die?
I am having trouble visualizing the geometry of the problem
think about looking at the dice straight on at one of its vertices. you can simplify this problem
ye
Ok then hmm
it's easy to visualize
what class is this for?
I’m sorry but that doesn’t help me lol
This isn’t for a class, it was just a problem I came across and wanted to do since geometry is my weakest subject in terms of competition math
damn bro just make a figure
use your ink
are people that lazy here
It’s why I said I was having trouble visualizing the geometry because my diagram wasn’t helping me visualize
ok whatever
what did you make
show me
This was how I tried to draw it as if i was looking at a vertex
But then I didnt really know what to do with that
Yep 😃
I also tried to think of how the cross section would look
But it wasn’t very intuitive to me
the easiest way to find out will
write the equation of the plane of the bottom of the die
and then find the angle between it and the xy plane
simple
How would I find that equation
Not really, like I said geometry is probably my weakest subject
then use intuition
there's no mathematical tool that can help you to analyze a 3d angle then
learn 3d geometry
why would it be a 3d angle? Cant I treat it as a 2d angle?
no
Sorry if I’m being a monkey but this stuff isn’t intuitive to me🥲
2d angle is made by the bottom side of the die
the bottom side is a plane
3d angle is completely different
solid angle
no use of it though
but we need 3d geometry nonetheless
Hmm ok
It’s not very constructive for you to repeatedly say it’s intuitive when I am clearly having trouble with the intuition part of the solving process
Anyways
I’ll come back to this when my brain has a few more folds I suppose

it's bad without 3d geo
Place the balancing vertex at the point (0,0,0) and then, on one face, the two vertices adjacent to this one at (2,2,0) and (2,0,2).The centre of this face is (2,1,1) and so the fourth vertex of this face is (4,2,2). It would be fair to consider desired angle to be the angle made by the table this the diagonal of this face joining (0,0,0) to (4,2,2). Perform this dot product
