no you don't
Wait
You right I don't
I forgot the x-5 and x+11
So now I got 2x+6/(x-5) (x+11) / x+3
Steakanator
Now im stuck dang it
only now must we deal with the compound fraction
Wait
Isn't the opposite of dividing multiplation?
So I could just multiply x + 3 to the top
yes
no
Alright now I am really stuck
remember dividing by t is the same as multiplying by 1/t
much better
(2x+6), parentheses needed
factor what?
you sure do
Alright, I got the answer. Thank you very much for the help

Need someone to explain the whole solution
I don't understand why even the very first step was done
And how did we come to the conclusion in the very first step that we need to prove that the limit is 2
hindsight
The intuition comes from supposing it does converge, and finding out what would be the limit
questions arent solved like this. just because the solution presents it that way does not mean that the way to go about solving it would also start like this
With recursion sequences u(n+1) = f(un), the intuition is always that if (un) does converge, then l = f(l), with f continuous
thats always important to keep in mind
Order in which we personally find the solution ≠ Order in which things are written in the solution
Alright. I haven't been taught this concept yet
It's a recurrent thing for sequences defined recursively
Well can you guide me and help me solve this question or just understand the solution
\FT
Suppose the sequence converges to $L$, then you can solve the equation
[\wrb{
L = \s{2+L}
}]
Cooly
Um how can L be equal to root over 2+L
Alright i understood the first few steps but
$\lim_{n \to \infty} x_{n+1}=\lim_{n \to \infty} x_n$

for the DFS(4,7) row
why isn't CompletelyExplored[4] = True
Discovered[U] = True, so it should fall down into CompletelyExplored[V] <- True and not recursively call the DFS function?
It calls DFS(5,7) before setting CompletelyExplored[4]
Same reason 2 isn't completely explored when DFS(4,7) is called
Or 1 when DFS(2,7) is called
it doesn't though
... yeah, it does
2 isn't the only vertex connected to 4
so it loops through 2 and 5?
Yes
okay that makes sense
it just looks weird though, why for each vertex 'U'
like U is a variable used elsewhere already?
Where?
it comes with a "preset" value at the start of each call
which is one of the adjacent nodes
No, it doesn't, this column just lists what it equals on each iteration of the loop, during the call
yeah im tripping my bad
also one more thing
what are these empty rows?
It's the same call, but a different loop iteration, hence the different U value

is this an inflection point (x=0)
does the concavity change sign?
this function ain't even continuous at 0 💔
f'''(-1) > 0
it would be quite a bureaucratic move to say that 0 satisfies the defn of an inflection pt on paper
i will follow my professor, he said f(x) doesnt have to be defined at critical point
bit of a tangent but can someone correct me if im wrong, is an inflection point defined to be when the first and second derivatives are equal to 0?
first derivative isn't required to be zero

can i do limit of $2^(f(x))$ as $2^(limf(x))$
Mystic
can i do limit of $2^{f(x)}$ as $2^{\lim f(x)}$
k
depends on what you mean by 'do' here
how are there more than one interprations here
if 'do' means replace 2^(f(x)) with 2^(lim f(x)) then no
We can generalize this: (this got a nice continuation by Ann and I wanted to say basically the same)
the function 2^x is continuous
so yes
is continuity a requirement
waaat
give an example where i cannot do this
floor function
kinda, it can still be true by coincidence with discontinuous functions in special cases
but continuous functions can be "factored through" limits
yes in general you cannot.
$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\floor{x}$ does not exist but $\floor{\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}x} =0$

I'm trying to solve past papers for a competition i want to enter but i cant figure out a solution to the 2nd and 3rd problem i checked the answers but it still doesnt make sense could someone explain to me the answers
question 2 translation:
Let 𝛼 be a positive integer such that the least common multiple of the numbers 24 and 𝛼 is 120. Determine the possible values of the greatest common divisor of the numbers 24 and 𝛼.
Question 3 trasnlation:
In the adjacent figure, triangle ABC is
isosceles with AB = AC. Point D belongs to the
side AC so that triangle BCD is
isosceles with BG = BD. Point Z belongs to the
line BC, so that line AZ is perpendicular
toward line BD at point E.
It is also given that: BA is perpendicular to AD.
(a) Calculate the angles of triangle ABC.
(β) Prove that: BÂΓ = 2 ∙ DÂE.
(γ) Prove that: AG = BZ
(I Will check back on this in a bit i can't right now)
what have you tried for Q2?
First off, think why would be the LCM of 24 and $\alpha$ be 120?
Annie Maqionde
Annie Maqionde
this might sound dumb but maybe because α factor(like idk if thats the word but u can divide it perfectly) of 24
no but then wouldnt the LCM be 24 itself?
oh
Annie Maqionde
start with this
i don't really understand 😅 what i should put in the place of a
Annie Maqionde
$b = 24$
Annie Maqionde
120,24?
120 is the LCM
Annie Maqionde
is g a variable?

Hello, how can I find the whole demostration of Rouche Frobenius's theorem? How can I represent it with lines and vectors as well as with the augmented matrix in 3 dimensions at least. As far as I now, you first do the determinant of the matrix because you want to know if the different vectors expand through the different dimension, but what with the augmented matrix. How can I link both concepts in the space? I have done some progress, Maybe if you know the expansion based on the dimensions of the vectors and link the vector with their covectors in order to find the inflexion point or... I am lost.
@proven saddle Has your question been resolved?
what do you mean "whole demonstration"
It's because I want to demonstrate geometrically the theorem, but I am bewildered when it comes to the augmented matrix, what is that?
In linear algebra, an augmented matrix
(
A
|
B
)
{\displaystyle (A\vert B)}
is a
k
×
(
…
Yeah but you know that the square matrix is a group of vector in an n-dimensions which can be the basis vector (I am from Spain, so maybe I say some concepts wrong), then why when you do the rgA* you add the last column and do the the determinant with that?
not sure what rgA* means
The range of the augmented matrix
So, you know that we are dealing with linear equations, so linking vector with planes is a matter of what, covectors?
do you mean rank
yeah
not understanding your question. the rank of the agumented matrix (A|B) doesn't always equal the rank of the square matrix A
following the notation from here
yeah, but as there is a demonstration to Cramer, in which B in (A|B) seep into A because you want to find the area of x,y,z... there must be a demonstration in which you add the B in order to find if the expansion of the vector is the same to the expansions of the planes
This would be the vectors
Each vector has a plane, if the number of independent vectors is the same as the number of independent planes the system of equation is SCD, or rectify me
what's SCD
when the system of equations has an unique solution
Well, that was my reflection, each plane has a direction which is denoted by a vector, if there are three vector in 3 dimensions and a rank of 2, then it has infinitives solutions which depends on the basis vectors, only if the rank of the augmented matrix is 2 as well. It would mean if the augment matrix reprensent the linear equations, then you are doing the determinant with the others vector and another vector which is the solution of the linear equation, then the question is why you do that
I suppose that that thing exists thanks to the covectors.

i tried
No use
Can you show what you tried?
i dont know latex so cant type
But all i did
is just apply the ineq directly
I'll write it for you, just briefly explain
i think it's rather clear the minimum < 2
looks like the most obvious thing to do is differentiate wrt x
f'(x)=0 is a transcendetal equation
how could we solve it
so my math teacher show us a 11th grade problem
how is this even an 11th grade problem
he said it's a simple one
yeah idk why
he must've been kidding
11th graders know nothing about exponential function
i'm just hoping that some lambert W would come up but i didn't find anything
Random thought, would it actually be
find minimum of 27^(cos(x))+81^(sin(y))
this would be much easier and more like a 10th grade Question
do you know the answer to it?
it's literally a AM≥GM question
the sin one?
yeah that's basically it
nah i dont
how did you get this
i mean
how can you find the lower bound
? You sure it 3^(-5/2) it should be positive
the exponent is negative, not the answer.
Why?
Oh
I wrote the result and forgot the next second😭

how have they expanded the LHS like this in step 1
shouldn't it be x((x-a)+(x-b))
leading to x(2x-(a+b))
which is completely different to the result of x(x-b) + x(x-a)

Hey there!
I've just started studying arithmetic progressions at school
While solving a few problems, this idea spontaneously popped up that there is an easier way to find the common difference(d) of an AP, when given any two terms of it.
I took a while to make an equation
Here's what I came up with:
what are those variables in the context of AP
Those are any two terms of an ap
Like, if an AP is 2, 4, 6, 8
a2 is 4, a4 is 8
that way
Yes it is
How do you prove it though?
I have no idea why this works, i just made it myself
you should realize that AP is basically a linear equation
and the gradient is the common difference
You can rewrite $a_x$ as $a_0 + dx$
d
Where $a_0$ is a common number for the whole sequence
d
For example here a0 is 0
But in 14,17,20,23,..., a0 is 11
So with that formula, you get
$$\dfrac{a_y-a_x}{y-x}=\dfrac{(a_0+dy)-(a_0+dx)}{y-x}=\dfrac{d(y-x)}{y-x}=d$$
No wait
what i learnt is $a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
d
Yes you can use that as well
Vihaan Vikas
It is almost the same as this
doesnt look same to me though 😅
I'm pretty new to ap to I don't know much
I just thought this up
If you have $a_n=a+(n-1)d$, replace the $n$ with an $x$ and obtain $a_x = a+(x-1)d$
d
Now it looks more similar right?
no i get this part
i'm talking about this
$$a_x=a+(x-1)d$$
$$a_x=a_0+xd$$
d
You can do the same
Rewrite a_y and a_x using the formula
And do the same steps
Try to do it yourself
Well, I am not sure whether it has a name
I have never seen it as an actual formula actually
But the idea of dividing those two things has been known for quite a long time, yes
It is actually one of the oldest ideas in math
ohh
i just made this up today at school
just a curiosity
i'm 15 so well, doing something felt good
That is great, the fact that it is not new does not matter
Nowadays it is actually very difficult to do something new
You have to study some very obscure areas of mathematics because the more well-known areas have already been researched to exhaustion
But if you rediscover something by yourself, that's great!

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
@ornate leaf Has your question been resolved?
No nothing else
I went and rechecked
false as stated
When is it true ?
i think maybe you can say f(x)<f(0)e^x for x > 0 at most?
Its probably a typo can you guess the correct problem ?
i refuse to engage in such guessing-games.
but i am gonna give you a CE to this
f(x) = e^-x
f(0)e^x = 1, but e^-x is not upper-bounded by 1
f(-1) is not less than 1
What's a CE
Well i meant if you have seen such problem somewhere
counterexample
For some specific interval
no
correct course of action is to email your prof with the counterexample
it's THE PROFESSOR'S responsibility to give meaningful questions in your problem set
Im pretty sure its x>0
no
the third one...?
Second
the one asking you to calculate the limit of x^(1/x) as x -> +∞?
Ok so
email prof and force her to give you correct questions for proof!
no, you have to refuse to do it outright
Im am not trying to correct the professor
why not
Im trying to spend time on problems to have more experience
you can only do that if the problems are right
Ok so i rephrased the problem
x>0
This is right and im still not sure how to solve
So id like to understand this one now
Could this be a MVT solution ??
well ok alright let me take my maliciously compliant hat off.
i think what you might wanna do is consider the function g(x) = f(x)e^-x
with the ultimate goal of showing g(x)<g(0) for x>0
which, yeah, it'll be mvt at the last step
i think you overcomped
overcomplicated.
rather (g(x)-g(0))/x with g defined as i wrote
but also mvt is really a stepping stone to say "negative derivative therefore decrerasing" in a more formal way
and im trying to communicate that but you're kinda stuck not seeing the forest for the trees i feel like
Wdym
Why negative
Wait i think i made some mistake give me a sec
when someone "doesn't see the forest for the trees" it means they are over-focused on the little details and are missing the bigger picture / basic idea.
With g you get g(x) < f(0) on the right side
Then f(0) = g(0)
Oh here is where x >0 matters
Yea i solved it
Basically you get f'(c) < f(c)
Which is true because f'(x) < f(x)
But why did you use that sub g(x) = f(x) e^-x
my idea was that the inequality f(x) < f(0)e^x is equivalent to f(x)e^-x < f(0)
but the latter has the advantage of being easier to think about bc it's function vs. constant rather than two functions being compared.

solve for x
i think you need to take the log on both sides
either take log, or rewrite everything to have base 3
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
!show please
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
Wagwan
wait sending my work
yeah, btw this is not how this server works. We can help u do it on ur own, but we wont do it for u
correct answer should be 2n-6 for x
Yo
hi
Wyd
i need help with question bro
someone help !
Alr
i got sqrt 3^3 and multiplied it with 0.5
!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.
okay so sqrt(27) = sqrt(3^3) = 3^(3*0.5) = 3^1.5
is that what u tried to do?
for some reason you wrote 3 + 0.5 and not 3 * 0.5
yea but then u add them right
MathIsAlwaysRight
is this wrong or what we are supposed to do
what you wrote is wrong
Someone explain triple integration
!occupied
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
uhm i might actually have to go rn..got exam in 30mins...i still dont get it but tnks for helping
u can surely start by rewriting $\sqrt{27}$ as $3^{1.5}$ or $3^{0.5 \cdot 3}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
alr, sure. U can come back after the exam if u want

siny=cosx then cosy=√1-cos^2x
cosy.y'=-sinx
y'=-sinx/cosy=-sinx/√1-cos^2x
Now put values
-sin(5π/3)/√sin^2(-5π/6)
=√3/2 / √(3/2)^2
2/√3
Is this correct?
,w differentiate y=arcsin(cos x) at x=5pi/3
you could just use the chain rule here
assuming yk the diffrentiation of arcsin

whats up with 4th step after putting the values
What a creativity you choose wolfram alpha instead of looking at my solution for confirmation so you have doubt on your brain
Could you see my work?
lemme check
It would be better if you look at my work and highlight the mistake
,w sin^2(-5π/3)
@hard gull
The written thing could be wrong but overall result?
Check the next step
you want sqrt(3)/2 not 3/2
3/4 and (3/2)^2 isnt same

can anyone help with this question? I've done the first part of b, but the resulting matrix seems very messy, so i dont know if ive done it right, and im not sure how to use it to find a
What did you get for your inverse
1/(0.82a-0.012)*(this is hard to type but ill try) |0.82 -0.15|
(bottom half of the matrix) |-0.08 a|
yeah it's just rlly ugly
anyway for part ii
they give you all of this
can you convert these into equations
hello?
ok
So I got this, but I'm not sure how that helps
the subscripts should be 0, not n
Oh yeah sorry
but do you see how your matrix equation gives you $J_0$ and $A_0$ in terms of $a$
Civil Service Pigeon
ok
,rotate
So if I do the other one, can I create three equations I can solve?
The third being 1 $J_0$ + 1 $A_0$ +0a
ThanduilShrike
I mean you could but why
To solve to get a
finding J_0 and A_0 in terms of a is trivial from your inverse multiplication
actually did you do that
Unless there is an easier way to get a I am missing
and they add to 64000
so you get an equation in only a for free
Oh ofc, yeah I completely missed that somehow thank you!
anything else?

How did they come to so many conclusions from the second inequality - i understand that they square rooted both sides but i don’t understand how to know which pair of x<_0 / x>_0 goes with which inequality with the root 3s
The red boxed bit is the solution btw
well do you realize that after square rooting both sides
you end up with
kizzyyy
Not rly
never seen $\sqrt{x^2} = \abs{x}?$
kizzyyy
Uhh ik what mod means? Do u mean just considering the positive root then
since if x > 0 then \sqrt{x^2} = x
and if x < 0 then \sqrt{x^2} = -x
no more like
if you had to solve something like x^2 = 9
Yh
you'd square root both sides
but sqrt(x^2) = |x| not just x
unless x > 0
so it'd be something like $\sqrt{x^2} = |x| = \sqrt{9} = 3$
kizzyyy
and |x| = 3 gives x = 3 and x = -3
Ohhh! Yea got u
yeah so "square rooting" both sides gets you here
now if x >= 0, you'd have x >= sqrt(3) |y|
since |x| = x for x >= 0
then presumably you know how that translates to |y| <= x/ \sqrt{3}
Yea
yeah and so -x/sqrt(3) <= y <= x/sqrt(3)
and yeah multiplying by sqrt(3) gets you the first inequality
u can extend that logic to get the x <= sqrt(3) y <= -x as well
by noting that |x| = -x for x < 0
Oo ok i get where they got those bits from now but how do yk the ways to do the inequality
As in
The upper limit for the first is +ve x and the lower is -ve x but then that flips for the second inequality
wdym
isn't that what we did
unless you're talking about something else
,, (\abs{y} \leq k) \iff (-k \leq y \leq k)
Yea
kizzyyy
if that's what you didn't catch
No i got that bit
But yk how there’s 2 sep inequalities, one for x>_0 and one for less than
And the inequalities that they’re paired with have opp upper and lower limits
we showed that for x >= 0, we get x <= sqrt(3) y <= -x
Yes but how do yk when to set x as the upper and when to set it as the lower limit of the inequality
Oh in the mark scheme thats flipped around - the lower limit is -x and the upper is +ve x
The inequality u mentioned is for x<_0
😭 just repeat the process we did for x < 0
|x| = -x for x < 0 so our inequality is -x >= sqrt(3) |y| or otherwise
-x/ sqrt(3) >= |y|
now translating that in a similar fashion gets us to x <= sqrt(3) y <= -x
Yea i get how to get to the numbers but dont get the -x and x limits, why do they flip around 😭😭😭
so you don't get why -x/sqrt(3) >= |y| turns to x <= sqrt(3) |y| <= -x?
cuz otherwise the lower and upper bound
are self explanatory
Sorry where did we get -x/sqrt3 from
Yh
|x| suggests that we need to consider two cases
-
x >= 0
-
x < 0
if x < 0 then |x| = -x
so far so good?
Yh
^ by definition
so -x >= sqrt(3) |y|
divide both sides by sqrt(3) to get -x/sqrt(3) >= |y|
if we swap it so that it looks easier on the eyes
it's just |y| <= -x/ sqrt(3)
recall that we established this earlier
which u were in agreeance with
Oh ok
so |y| <= -x/ sqrt(3) can be equivalently expressed as - (-x/ sqrt(3)) <= y <= -x/ sqrt(3)
finally multiply by sqrt(3)
that gets you to -(-x) <= sqrt(3) y <= -x
x <= sqrt(3) y <= -x

Why is the lower limit bracketed with a negative outside
Oh right okay
Ok i get up to this now!
yeah that was for x < 0
u do exactly the same thing
to get -x <= sqrt(3) y <= x
for x >= 0

hello i dont get this conversion
no, the chart is a bit confusing but it is trying to say 1 kJ = 1000 J
the way to read it is "1 J x 1000 = 1 kJ" (i.e. 1000 J = 1 kJ)

need help solving problems like this
for the maxima?
1/2 for theta?
close
or is it pi
pi/2
ok
that is when sine is at its peak
its 8 * pi/2
yeah
ok
so you find 8 * sin(pi/2)
right cause we are inputting the equation
and thats our y?
ok
and then since you've an inflection point, you'll have a mirror
and then do we do -pi/2?
correct
that'll give you a negative y value, but bc of the inflection it's positive
like how you see on the graph
yes but
do you know that value of sin(pi/2)?
npp
haha
so its 8 and -8 resoectively
no
tried this and it said i was wrong ;-;

Um, isnt there more than two local extrema?
oh yeah
caus -2pi and 2pi
If I'm not mistaken, there should actually be ||5.||
got it
well hold on
only 4 :
Reallly?
cause of closed brackets
I would have argued that
if it was open brackets there would only be 2
(0, 0) is a local minima
minima, it was asking for maxima
Since in the local neighbourhood, all the points are actually above that point
max not min
Well rip, badly formatted question.
if it was inverse you would be right
It's a very pearson moment
me and my homies hate pearson
type shit
ts ts..
Oof
maxima...
nobody fw it not even the teachers the administration just decided that everyone needs to do that 😭
and that every sheet of homework needs to have a font size of 42 just incase u have a disability which is crazy cause it's a college and they have accomidative services so you think it would be seperate sheets
ok now its asking for minima but i think theawnser lies with that dob was GLHSC was saying
ok i feel ive done something wrong here
oh its cause it's 3pi/2 instead of pi
Oof
glad i didn't have to do the 2nd derrivative test to find that out lol
[-2pi, -pi] , [pi, 2pi]
notation is weird, im in the uk so i think its slightly different
im doing math while you're doing maths
😆
how tf do i tell when it's concave down and up cuz rn my brain hurty
and im looking at that middle point like wtf?!?! 
got it doe.
concave up is like a bowl, concave down is like a cave
its easier with the british versions, concave (concave down) and convex (concave up)

so uhm need help with these graphs
i ruled out D easily
my full solution to the difeq is 4/15 ( cos3.5t -cos4t)
how do i select from the 3
i ruled out B by taking the derrivative of the solution and guesstimating that a small tiny value past zero would give y'>0
so positive slope which B does not have
i feel like
youd have to reason about the period
you know that like, you're going to have two pieces right
it'll be a cos of the forcing function period
and then a cos of the unforced period
they should start out pretty much in sync, because they both start at 0 argument, but then drift apart, then back into sync, then back apart
all this besides just plotting the solution which you could do
@slim ginkgo do you get what i mean?
you have one part of the solution with a period of $\frac \pi 2$, thats the $4t$ piece
jan Niku
then $\frac{4\pi}{7}$, thats the $3.5t$ piece
jan Niku
then you'll have oscillations of the difference function contained within some wider periodic envelope, which wont be 0 again until the periods are integer multiples
seems like that'd be 7 oscillations of the 3.5t piece, and 4 oscillations of the 4t piece, at 4*pi, or just past 12
hten again at mAybe 24.5 or so
which is exactly what you see here
@slim ginkgo Has your question been resolved?
wait up
sorry mb i dipped
daym this question is pretty intricate
yes
is that cuz they are similar period values or just for any period values
