Thx👍
ok i see the problem
it's hard to see that "If Bob is at home, it's tuesday" can be true or false
it seems like it's some kind of third type of thing
like it can be a lie
but it can't be a "truth"
idk
so actually there's no difference between "If Bob is at home, it's tuesday" and "It's wednesday or thursday"
it's still a way to say what can't happen
so you check the same way, if it's true or false
"It's wednesday or thursday"
in reality it's thursday
not a lie!
"If Bob is at home, it's tuesday"
in reality bob is at work and it's wednesday
not a lie
I get it now
great

Would this question be a yes? because each person on each team has an equally random chance at getting picked?
@pallid agate Has your question been resolved?
Do you know the difference between a simple random sample and a stratified random sample?
A simple random sample means you put all the people in one big pool, and select the sample at random
A stratified random sample means you divide the people into groups first, based on some criteria, and then choose some number from each group at random
no I didn't know the difference
So that would not satisfy a simple random sample
because its divided into smaller groups?
Right, it's a stratified random sample
A simple random sample wouldn't guarantee that you get players from every team
no problem 👍
so justification would be that it is divided into smaller groups
with reason that a simple random sample wouldn't guarantee players from every team
would that ^ be a suffice answer?
yeah that should be fine
ok thank you
np 👍

where did this GPE come from
anything with mass that is above the ground has gravitational potential energy
does KE not account for the GPE
kinetic energy is separate from gravitational potential energy
you add GPE whenever it is off the ground, whether that is in the initial or the final state

Prove that $\lim_{x\to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a} f(x-a)$
Veni, vidi, perii
So to start
the LHS means
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-0|<\delta \implies |f(x)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
Something is missing
huh?
ah
Veni, vidi, perii
and the RHS is
$\forall \epsilon >0 \exists \delta >0 st 0<|(x-a)-a| \implies |f(x-a)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
which feels off
@novel juniper Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
what happened?
This is the problem
you can assume the limit exists and put like L instead of f(0)
okie
and you want to show that L works for both
Yes
did you try anything so far
Writing both defns to see if that proves they're equivalent
Right so far?
it's no difficult, but I don't have the mathematical rigor to express it.
apart from some minor typos yea defn looks ifne
oops
yeah
made a few mistakes
$\forall \epsilon >0 \exists \delta >0 st 0<|(x-a)-a| \implies |f(x-a)-f(a)| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-0|<\delta \implies |f(x)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
tex tip, only wrap the math in dollars so that you can write english cleanly
👍
$a$ or $b$
RokettoJanpu
use sustitucion
I haven't proven that substitution works yet
this isnt like calc class where you can just plug stuff in, he needs to go by epsilon delta
i see
so $2a-\delta <x<\delta +2a$
Veni, vidi, perii
and $-\delta <x<\delta$
Veni, vidi, perii
so let $\varepsilon= min(\delta, \delta+2a)$
Veni, vidi, perii
is something like that and using using triangular inequality
triangular inequality that key
maybe
Why didn't I think of that 😭
$\forall \epsilon >0 \exists \delta >0 st 0<|(x-a)| \implies |f(x-a)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
wait
this should be the second defn , righ
That's NOT the triangle inequality for subtraction
What is it like?
$||g(x)-|h(x)|| \geq |g(x)-h(x)|$
Ok
so just to restate
these are my defn
$\forall \epsilon >0 \exists \delta >0 st 0<|x-a| \implies |f(x-a)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
and
oops
Veni, vidi, perii
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-0|<\delta \implies |f(x)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
consider a translation function g(x)=f(x-a)
Veni, vidi, perii
I mean sure, but is substitution allowed
i ment
i don't think so
no substituion i what you want to prove i think
that you can just write x-a and f(x-a) directly
if it works for x and f(x)
OK. Let's start from square one
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-0|<\delta \implies |f(x)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
is the LHS defn
but never mind, that's not the point
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-a|<\delta \implies |f(x-a)-f(0)| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
this statement lacks a bit of rigor, maybe its better like this
That's literally what's given in spivak
its an equation of limits, implicitly assuming beforehand that at least one exists
if one of $\lim_{x\to0}f(x)$ or $\lim_{x\to a}f(x-a)$ exists then the other exists, in which case they are equal
RokettoJanpu
its a bit more rigorous this way, and in fact it reflects a good strategy for proving equality
I don't folllow
take cases
what do I have to prove
take the case where the former exists, i.e. $\lim_{x\to0}f(x)=L$ for some $L$, then prove $\lim_{x\to a}f(x-a)=L$
RokettoJanpu
I don't get this part
the case where the latter exists is handled similarly
do you know limits dont always exist?
Yes
we're writing an equation with limits on both sides. you dont know beforehand whether both limits exist, so the equation doesnt necessarily make sense
Veni, vidi, perii
pay attention to my EXACT wording
if one of $\lim_{x\to0}f(x)$ or $\lim_{x\to a}f(x-a)$ exists then the other exists, in which case they are equal
RokettoJanpu
i said this is what we're really proving
Veni, vidi, perii
.
Let $\lim_{x\to 0} f(x)=L$ we now attempt to prove $\lim_{x\to a} f(x-a)=L$
Veni, vidi, perii
so this being L implies
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-0|<\delta \implies |f(x)-L| \leq \varepsilon$
f(0)?
Veni, vidi, perii
Now on the right hand side we have
$\forall \varepsilon>0 \exists \delta>0 st0< |x-a|<\delta \implies |f(x-a)-L| \leq \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
Not too sure how to proceed form here
its a more abstract limit, so you need to think more logically than computationally
we know this
we need to prove this
to guide your logic, every epsilon delta proof should go like this
let eps>0
some string of arguments to find suitable delta
let x be such that 0<|x-..|<delta
some string of arguments to show |..-..|<eps
ill do the easy bits for you
let $\ep>0$
RokettoJanpu
since $\lim_{x\to 0} f(x)=L$, there exists $\delta>0$ such that $0<|x|<\delta$ implies $|f(x)-L|<\ep$
RokettoJanpu
Veni, vidi, perii
so I have $-a-\delta <x-a<\delta-a$
Veni, vidi, perii
let $\delta =a+1$
Veni, vidi, perii
i need to head out so ill leave some questions associated to epsilon delta proofs, especially abstract ones like this where we have assumed limits:
if im guaranteed a delta from an assumed limit, is that the right delta for another limit? turns out sometimes yes, sometimes no
should i apply an assumed limit directly to epsilon, or is it better to apply it to another positive function of epsilon (eps/2, eps^2 etc)? sometimes just epsilon is enough, sometimes you need a smarter choice
ill answer these for this problem for you
the delta i picked from the assumed limit will work for the limit we need to prove
and its enough to apply the assumed limit to just epsilon
there are no smart choices required here. you just need to think very logically through the proof structure
.
and the proof is much simpler than you think. no clever inequality tricks needed. just decent logic

i want to use euler identity of split complex number but argument of hyperbola only defind in the blue area i wonder how can i write it in polar form
i try this but it only defind in the blue area
i try switch x and y term but its wrong if i do the power of 2
even tho 1+3j or anything outside the blue area exist but how can i even write it in polar form
i get j^2=j so its wrong
By eulers identity u mean e^itheta ?
mb i can't answer this then
wait it should be hyperbolic sine i misspelling
im fk up rn
i think about it all day

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
Do you know sum of first n terms of an arithmetic progression
can you find the general term for this series?
yes
And do you know the formula for the nth term
yes
Next
You have a simultaneous equation
6=a
12=a+(5-1)d
Solve for common difference
i'll get 1.5
Correct
then?
Next
$S_n = \frac{n}{2} [a+a+(n-1)d]$
David
In this case S_n =90
Plug in the values of S_n,d,a and solve for n
Yes
No problem
Note
The number of terms should be positive

Q3
,rccw
so
let a be the first erm
and common difference = d
I don't want to make this slow
Ok
first term = a
second term = a+d
Yeah
atq a(first term) = 5
a+d = 9
so d = 4
Yea
now let the last term be of the form a+nd = 5+4n = 4n + 4 + 1
Now equate 4+1+4n and 500
4n = 495
n = 123.75
now since n must be an integer
we need to add 1 to 500 to make 501
So 5+4n = 501
4n = 496
n = 124
substitute this value in 5+4n to find the term (the last one)

is it alright if someone could explain the process for this? im really confused
you can pick which ever question !!
yup
X^4 = 16 it is asking which number when multiplied 4 times has its ans as 16 so to solve these kind of questions you should find all prime factors of 16
x^4 = 16
x^4 - 16 = 0
(x^2+4)(x^2-4) = 0
either x^2 + 4 = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
for x^2 + 4 = 0
x^2 = -4
x = -2i or 2i
For x^2 - 4 = 0
x = -2 or +2
oh thanks!! only prime numbers?? also wld u do the same for the rest??
ohhh aight
wait whys it either negative or positive
this is the more elegant solution
-2 x -2 = +4
it's real nice
-4 x -4 = +16

I’m so stuck on Part D, how do I do it? I can’t find any examples like this online
YES
hola, hablas español cierto?
replacing by dx
necesito ayuda con las funciones
tengo prueba y aun no las entiendo bien
funciones cuadraticas
wait so what did you find, that is that the integral of (1-4x^2)^2/3?
preguntame y te digo
tengo que analizar funciones y describirlas ? sin realizar los calculos, saber si tiene un maximo o un minimo, si pasa por el inicio o no, o cual es su vertice
nop, that just the Integral that u write
i though that that was your confusion
Y que no sabes?
how to proceed
como realizar esas observaciones
viendo el grafico TODO ESO? o con solo la expresion
?
con la funcion que me entreguen
pero te la dan graficada?
tambien debo saber si crece o decrece
no
No te puedo ayudar, porque no se que sabes y que no. Por lo que me decis estas medio en la nada. Yo te puedo responder una duda puntual. Pero explicarte todo no jajaaj
entiendo entiendo, no te preocupes
me ayudas con las formulas del vertice y eje de simetria?
So what is the way to solve this integral? You find the integral of the denominator first?
I don’t understand the steps
Si, el eje de simetria en justo en la mitad de la parabola, si tienes las dos raices puedes hacer (x1+x2)/2. Sino tienes una formula por ahi. O si sabes derivar... Es donde la derivada es 0. y el eje de simetria es lo mismo, siempre coincide con el vertice en las cuadraticas
porque son funciones pares
ok
one sec
perdoname, estoy empezando con la matematica y no comprendi bien lo que me dices, si no te es tedioso o una molestia me lo explicarias de otro modo?
where u from bro
chile
como puedo saber donde estan las intersecciones con el eje x y el eje y en una funcion cuadratica?
Put the equation = to zero.
luego?
Solve for x that will give you the intersecciones con el eje y
Yes that’s great, but then what do you do after just solve that and put a 1 over it? Since the og equation is a fraction
yes, everything in time, first it is important that you understand the steps.
is it clear to u?
ya but why are you multiplying by both dx and d theta, when dx is in the numerator not denominator
Like dx is on top why are you multiplying it with the denom
is the same
u can put it on top like a number, and is better couse if u are lazy and don't want to write 1 and then dx, just write dx on top
it doesn't matter, but smart people do it
an example

Rep
Do I just use the points on red line with y is 2 and for blue y is 2
Huh?
Thank you @real lichen
I'm confused

blue is not 2
So uh how do I start this off
you are on the right track
0 is the answer
Is it the 2nd point they have
!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.
yes
generally when you add two functions, you add the y-value of each function at every x
Ohh
so when they are asking you (f + g)(2), it means "combine f + g into one function, then find the value of that function at x = 2"
So it's like I draw a vertical line at 2
And every point there for each corresponding line
I would use that point
yes
And then I just add the x toghter and they y together
Or do I just add everything together
So like what do u gain from helping others
no no no
Oh shit sorry
you do not add the x
Ok
Just the y
Ok now 2nd question
Same thing but with 4
I do same thing as the first one?
Ok i got that one
Now it f - g(6)

Do I add the negative symbol to the term
Or
Nvm
Ik
Wait
So would it be -2-(-6)

D
multiply both sides by 30, it should be easier to do the equation after this
can i ask, why 30?
because you have 5, 3 and 6 as denominators, so 30 is multiple of all those
so will be left no fractions
you're welcome
@gaunt gate do i put the x's at one side b4 multiplying or after
it doesn't matter
you can multiply first
then isolate the x's

What does it mean by (A, B; C, D)?
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
they seem to be defining (A, B; C, D) to be the cross ratio of the points A, B, C, D
Is it because ; is a cdot with a comma 💀
But why (A, B; C, D)?
well the ; seems to sort them in to two distinct groupings of AB and CD
there seem to be a lot of different notations for this (wolfram mathworld has completely different notation), this is just the one that wikipedia went with
If a, b, c, and d are points in the extended complex plane C^*, their cross ratio, also called the cross-ratio (Courant and Robbins 1996, p. 172; Durell 1928, p. 73), anharmonic ratio, and anharmonic section (Casey 1888), is defined by [a,b,c,d]=((a-b)(c-d))/((a-d)(c-b)).

Just wanted to check my answer
The curve C1 is given by the following equation
$$e^{xy} + \ln(y^2) + e^y = 1 + e$$
Determine the gradient at point (0, 1)
Edmund Cloudsley
For this particular question, we would have to utilise implicit differntiation
$$\frac{d}{dx} e^{xy} + \frac{d}{dx} \ln (y^2) + \frac{d}{dx}e^y = 0$$
$$ = e^{xy} (xy)^\prime + \frac{2}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} + e^{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-ye^{xy}}{\frac{2}{y} + xe^{xy} + e^y}$$
and if we substitute the mentioned value of x and y
we should get
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = -1/(2+e)$$
Edmund Cloudsley
I am unsure if the implicit differentiation of $e^{xy}$ is correct in my case
Edmund Cloudsley
and let's say if I have somethign like the derivative of $\tan(xy)$
would it be:
$$(xy)^\prime \sec^2{xy}$$
yes sec^2(xy)(y+x dy/dx)
great!
You need the partial derivatives for the gradient, do you not?
its wrt x if u want (xy)' thats xdy+ydx
do I? because I am pretty sure I haven't covered them in my course yet tho
Idk maybe I'm wrong
can this question be solved with implicit differentiation only?
yup
partial derivative is the same as total derivative here as there is only one variable
oh okay
I will look into partial derivatives
I remember doing them 2 months ago for something else not related to maths 😓
and I don't remember a thing
thanks anyways guys

is there a more efficient way of solving this problem?
Yes, generating functions:
$G(x)=G_X(x)*G_Y(x)=(2x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5)(x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+2x^6)$
PajamaMamaLlama
,w (2x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5)(x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+2x^6)
2x^11+3x^10 (11,10 are higher than 9), sum the coefficients to get 5
or 5/36 odds to get a combination higher than 9

does anyone know where I went wrong? The answer is -2 but I put 2 because of the boundary change ( 0 to 1 ).
3 sorry for my handwriting
,w 35 * int pi/2 to pi sin^4(x) * cos^3(x) dx
-2 was right, not sure why you changed it to 2
i put it on 2 because i have the boundary from 0 to 1 because i wanted to stay on u instead of going back to sin x
and when it’s from small to big or something you swap the sign
if i remember properly 😭
and when it’s from small to big or something you swap the sign
this is not a rule
$[7 (0) - 5 (0)] - [7 (1) - 5(1)] = 0 - (2) = -2$
riemann
my life is a lie 😭
that's it, no other "small to big swap the sign" business needed
we have it that [ \int_1^0 f(x) \odif x = -\int_0^1 f(x) \odif x ] but that's the same as saying [ F(0) - F(1) = -[F(1) - F(0)] ]

I just started limits in AP Calc AB and I have no idea how to solve this problem: lim x-> pi/4 (2cos^2x-1)/(cosx-sinx)
So I know that 2cos^2x-1 = cos2x
So I'm guessing I get lim x-> pi/4 (cos2x/(cosx-sinx) but what happens then or am I going in the wrong direction?
I know there are 3 but in this case I would guess you use the cos^2x-sin^2x
that's a good guess
you want cos^2x-sin^2x, and in the denominator you have cosx-sinx... perhaps there's something there
Don't forget your basic algebra 😉
So now I just cancel the square to get lim x -> pi/4 cosx-sinx
no you certainly do not
wait you don't
that would be implying cos^2x-sin^2x = (cosx-sinx)^2
Cancel correctly 😅

i already got 2/1
where does the line touch the x-axis?
1
and the y-axis?
2
therefore b=2, and a=1
above the formula for the line given two intercepts :)

parentheses are important
so are negative signs

c
Hello
Oh I was just saying hello
oh hello lol
what's the question?
I just realized it cropped incorrectly. If an and b are real numbers. Then if a^2 + ab + b^2 >=0
and we're using trig to do it?
Yeah just trying. I have other proofs
what you have is chicken scratch so it isn't a proof, but there may be something there
Oh yeah it’s scratchwork lol my bad. I’m wondering if showing this relationship is correct though
you want to argue that for this arbitrary a,b pair, there is an angle x for which you can do this representation
but what concerns me is that it isn't true if a=b=0 so you need a separate case
Yes
sorry, you need to address that particular case separately
so we must assume at least one of a,b are nonzero
Okay, so because
This relationship idea doesn’t work to satisfy sin theta = cos theta = 0
Correct? Like there’s not a theta to satisfy this
yeah like, to me you're constructing a circle of radius sqrt(a^2+b^2)
that's radius 0 if a=b=0
Ah okay. Are we “allowed to say”
A=b=0 then a^2+ab+b^2 >= 0
Which satisfies what we need to prove.
And say for like “in the case that an and b are both non zero” and use this proof ?
Okay, the reason I said nonzero is because I saw cases such as a=0 and b≠0
Or
a≠0 and b=0 as quick cases that simplify to a^2 >= 0 and b^2 >= 0 respectively
So case 3 would be
a and b are both non zero and then go onto the trigonometric proof
the trig argument still works as long as at least one of a or b are nonzero
well it isn't exactly valid in my opinion because you still have to assume you have a rigorous construction of trig functions
Oh okay
we're assuming that you're asked to prove this inequality in an introductory real analysis course where you're only given that the real numbers is a field with an ordering
Nah. It’s just an intro to discrete math class. This is the question from the first day of class a week ago
they're still introductory so ok
it's cute to invoke trig functions but not rigorous enough because you're just invoking a higher power
The prof really liked a proof with inflection points. I think the prof is just trying to get people’s brains turning , yk?
I’m not in the class , it’s my friend who is. I completed the course but we just been having fun talking about different proofs for it
oh word
im on a gap semester currently. Im really liking math but want to be a software engineer for the money
I completed the course during the month of June. (Accelerated summer class) and I feel like I didn’t get to have the full experience because of it. And that I’m probably worse at proof writing than others who completed it at a normal pace
I’m thinking of just starting real analysis though (I kinda already did) like last week
With understanding analysis although I’d like to go through 2 books concurrently
so in constructing a circle of radius $r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}>0$, we identify that there is some angle $\theta\in[0,2\pi)$ for which $r\cos\theta=a$ and $c\sin\theta=b$, and we argue that $$a^2+b^2+ab\geq 0\ \ \ \iff\ \ \ \frac{1}{c^2}\left(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta\right)\geq 0$$
Flip
the rightmost component of the iff is equivalent to dropping the 1/c^2 because it's positive
you get better at writing proofs when you write more of them, and you write more of them in higher math classes
Yeah fosho. Need to get through understanding analysis
I’d like to get through the book and partially a second book before my analysis course starts next semester
self-study is hard, so you'd probably benefit from making a schedule for it, and a study group or some other incentive for reading and doing exercises
make your own due dates for responses to book exercises or problems, or give your friends a lecture on what you worked on
the friends should hopefully be willing to hear you lol
choose people who encourage you
Noted, me and my roomate are trying to learn from different sources and have a white board to write down interesting problems .
He’s using Spivak and tao analysis
I’m using understanding analysis and to be determined
Love the idea of hard, I think of math as an intellectual navy seal training boot camp for my brain
sounds fun
Even if they do not correlate directly. I think a degree in math will benefit “everything” cognitively
Plus I like math 😎
Haha
some treatments of real analysis feature a careful and frankly long-winded construction of the real numbers (in two ways) from the peano axioms
I have read this (as in, I am on the screen activity waiting for messages to let you know I’m here)
lots of equivalence classes to rise from one number system to another
I remember what equivalence classes are, but I know I’m not amazing on the topic right now
other treatments assume we're already at the finish line and that we have the real numbers, which is a totally-ordered field
an equivalence class is a formal lumping-together of things that are considered equivalent to some element under some (equivalence) relation
every equivalence relation begets a partitioning of your set (the equivalence classes are what makes the partitioning), and every partitioning of your set begets an equivalence relation
they can be very pretty
this is good
Al this is mentally noted and screenshotted , thank you
sure thing
also in case you don't know latex already, you should experiment with it
I used it for every college assignment I had once I learned the basics
so you should consider using latex to write up your proofs, just to give yourself non-obvious editorial and presentation problems to solve lol
super super helpful
for example I took a graph theory course and used it as an excuse to learn tikz, a latex package for creating graphs and other wacky pictures
it's very important to learn latex especially if you want to write papers, because a lot of journals don't even accept papers written in other editors
and also because it of course makes for nice presentations

I just had a question on the bi nominal
I wanted to know what the difference it when it asks me to find the sum/difference and when it asks me to find the product?
Sorry if that questions a lil dumb
the sum/difference is just adding the polynomials, the product is multiplying them
i.e. the sum/difference uses the process you have there, the product uses FOIL
without variables, 2 + 3 = 5, 2 x 3 = 6
with variables, its (2x^2 + 5) + (3x^2 + 3) = 5x^2 + 8, (2x^2 + 5)(3x^2 + 3) = 5x^4 + 21x^2 + 15
What is FOIL? Is that a math acronym?
it's a terrible acronym that says that $$(a+b)(c+d)=a(c+d)+b(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$$
Flip
ac is the product of the 'first' terms, ad the product of the 'outer' terms, bc the product of the 'inner' terms, and bd the product of the 'last' terms
you never need to remember this acronym if you understand it's nothing more than distribution done twice
Thank you!
I also wanted to know if anyone could check my math
For 13, 19 and 21 if that’s okay
I have assignment regarding the solve the equation in full formula and full explanation and the title is translations
this is all correct
occupied
Thank you! I really appreciate the help from everyone!!
19 in particular has a shortcut: $$(6b^2-6)(4b^2-4)=6(b^2-1)4(b^2-1)=(6\cdot 4)(b^2-1)^2$$
Flip
Oh wow thank you!
I had no idea I could do it that way
I’ll write that down too
I appreciate the shortcut and explanation, I’ll use it for class tomorrow 😼 I hope u guys have a good night!

Find me two numbers such that when they are added together, they make as much as the cube of the lesser added to the product of its triple with the square of the greater; and the cube of the greater added to its triple times the square of the lesser makes 64

Using logical equivalencies, how would I proceed?
Flip
to attack the $(p\land\neg q)\lor(q\land\neg r)$
Flip
maybe it brings joy, idk
so i would treat (p and not q) as p and distribute it to (q and not r)?
it looks like there's a little more joy from that yeah
no joy to be found
you find a -q or q, which is nice
best of luck
don't tell me
that i can distribute again
?
i dont see it
am i even doing this correctly

$ln 5x= lnx+ln4x$ can you go on?
everg
I I think you made a mistake
could be
ohh right
I did that and got an integral with lnx in denominator
let me show
Wrong pic
I tried lnx = u but it didn't help
I also tried graphing to see if I could gain something
you sure it is not sine?
then the question is simply wrong, because it does not exist
How'd you know that?
no matter what you do, you wouldnt be able to find the antiderivative of that function, cuz it has ln(x) in the denominator
this is called a non-elementary integral
the function explodes around x=1
and you are integrating from 0 to π
including x=1
boom!
If I change the limits from 0 to 1?
still
I tried Wolfram too
it seems like someone haphazardly remove the s from sin though
lol plot twist
Then it'll be easy I think
expand sin(5x) by the sum formula

Have you done anything so far?
nah Im confused 😭
Generally if you have a fraction and something added together, and you want to express it as a single fraction
a good start is to write both things with a common denominator
since then you can add the two into one fraction
in this case, you could write 4x with the same denominator as x/(1-x) by multiplying and dividing it (which is ok because those two things cancel out) by (1-x)

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I multiplied the top one by 2 and the bottom one by 5 and found 4/5 for k but shouldn't h NOT be 5/4? why is it not working?
I think you mean h should not be equal to 5/2
that worked but HOW

hi, im stuck trying to fin sin(t)
Well if you have tan(t) , cos(t) . Then sin(t) is straightforward
i think im messing up when squaring cos
tan(t) = sin(t) / cos(t) isn't it?
