No problem, I'm just really confused now
g(x), by definition is a function of x
it is an arbitrary function, so it can be whatever you want it to be (*to make the two sides equal), but it is a function of x, not y
so g(x) = y does not make any sense
likewise neither does g(x)=x^2 *y
or any variation including a y
It;s supposed to be g(y) apparently, but yeah.
I don't actually know if my math is correct because the teacher for this class has given me zero resources to figure out what I'm doing at all.
Yes, Matt I think you are closer to figuring this out than you think
the point of this is
when you do your integrations and stuff
you will find common terms on both sides of the equation
and you will find the one, or both sides, contains an arbitrary function of either x or y
Unless a positive and negative is still common
and then you as the solver, can decide what those functions are
They didn't tell me if it was or not
to show that the sides are equivalent
Is -y^2/(x+y) common to y^2/(x+y)?
just moving this down real quick
That's what's really tripping me up hard
okay so see if you can follow this with me
multiply that negative on the left through the top of your fraction
you will now see the two sides are equivalent * except for the negative sign on the other side
you can now add the term on the right side (the negative one) to the both sides of the equation
this will end up doubling it on the left side and getting rid of it on the right
as you have it written, they are not common terms
I'm supposed to add them?
I do feel like there might be a small error somewhere in your process along the way
The teacher just vaguely said if it's not a match on the left, ignore it
no, I was just demonstrating that they are not common terms
There definitely could be, I'm just so tired from this that idk what it is
I've been up since 6 AM doing this nonstop because I have so many assignments due at midnight
Let us both go through the problem from start to beginning again more carefully, up until the point you are at right now
and see if we can figure it out from there
Tag me once you have redone the steps you currently have done
I'll definitely try to help you out with this then
you are closer than you think
I'll try, but I'm lowkey falling asleep really hard
I have 9 more assignments due in 41 minutes
ah, I know the feeling, it sucks. Good luck though! if you want help with this problem still , let me know and we can do it. Or if you want to do it sometime in the future you can feel free to DM me
(x^2+2xy-y^2)/(x+y)^2 dx + (y^2+2xy-x^2)/(x+y)^2 dy = 0
M(x,y) = (x^2+2xy-y^2)/(x+y)^2
N(x,y) = (y^2+2xy-x^2)/(x+y)^2
integral of M(x,y) in respect to x = -(x^2+2xy-y^2)/(x+y ) + 2x
integral of N(x,y) in respect to y = -(y^2+2xy-x^2)/(x+y) + 2y
int M(x,y)+g(y)=int N(x,y)
@magic sparrow
Ok
How did you get the 2y^2/(x+y)
that is the antiderivative of the function, is it not?
I got -(x^2+2xy-y^2)/(x+y) + 2x using integration by parts
I used u=y^2+2xy-x^2
but I did not do by parts, just normal sub
I am unsure about your integration, but taking the derivative of mine does produce an equivalence to the original function
Mine didn't, I tried rederiving it like 10 times
okay, well... 2 things about that
I'm so tired I'm not really processing anything at this point
I'm just getting increasingly more stressed
I apologize if this adds to your stress lol, but using my integrations there is not constant functions g(y) and g(x) that make the two sides equivalent
unless x=y
I understand kind of
The workload for this week from the teacher was just extremely hyperunrealistic.
17 assignments in 3 days, when one of the days was a required school event that lasted 10 hours
C= is just the final answer, for the purposes of the software's syntax
dang. is this diff eq or calc?
Diffeq
okay give me a few more minute
I do not understand
I feel as if your question has to be incorrrect
but obviously that can't be the case
....
I got very close
but ended up with 2xy=xy
2=1....
I'm just going to skip it at this point
It's taken up a full 2 hours of my day, which I didn't really have to spare
It's not worth it at this point when I have 10 minutes left
I still have 7 other assignments due
goodluck with those, I'll keep tinkering around with this for a bit and tag you if I end up getting it
I have 5 reading assignments due as well which bodes extremely badly for me because my vision is extremely at this point in the day.
blurry
dang, you got it! grind out what you can and don't worry about what you can't do. At the end of the day you can only do what you can do, and if you end up missing some stuff it is just an opportunity for you to realize you'll have to work a bit harder next week to stay on top of it. No need to put yourself down though because once the deadlines come around, what is done is already done.
@quartz spade my apologies for messing up some algebra earlier, but I actually did find the solution
well
so you are doing two integrals right?
one dx and one dy
both produce an arbitrary constant
the constant for the integral with respect to x, could be any function of y (because it is treated as constant)
Yeah
and the opposite is true for the integral with respect to y
It seemed to have worked
I'm just trying to get through these reading assignments now, but the questions are referencing equations that simply do not exist in the book at all
refer back to this image, do you see where they come from in this
I've been staring at this for 5 straight minutes
This book is so wildly unhelpful for this so called reading assignment, that I'm not entirely sure where he's drawing these questions from
yah that is a horrible question for introducing the topic
diff eq, taught poorly, is a terribly difficult course
here is the idea behind that question
I'm already struggling as it is since I haven't taken a math course in 5 years
,, y'+y*g(x)=h(x)
AustinU
this is a first order linear differential equation
you understand the notion correct?
Yes
As is, the equation is not seperable
I am aware what integrating factors are, the notation he used is just nowhere similar to the book's.
well do you not think it is the correct answer?
It sounds correct, but I went to the next question, and that was the answer to that one
could it perhaps be the method of undetermined coefficients?
The way these assignments are set up, you can't find out what's wrong until you finish the whole thign
I strongly believe the answer is integrating factor method
I'm still trying to get to the end to see what was right

consider whether 13 and/or 19 are included/excluded for each statement
no
e.g. 2 isn't higher than 2
2 wouldn't be part of the values higher/greater than 2
try starting with b) or d)

Uranium-238 (U-238) has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Geologists find a rock containing a mixture of U-238 and lead, and determine that 76% of the original U-238 remains; the other 24% has decayed into lead. How old is the rock?
Ok so, from what I understand, I have to do log2/4.5billion
I think
so I think how I would set this up is: .76 = N(sub 0)e^(log2/4.5billion)*t
but I dont know if thats correct
no, you've kinda made your life difficult
the equation you are looking for is 0.76 = (1/2)^(t/L)
where L is the half life and t is the unknown i.e. the age of the rock
So L would equal: 2/4500000000
no
L is the halflife
show your work
you overthought it.
t=1781679043.49013

So 1.782 billion years
this would have been so much better if you had chosen to show your work and not throw numbers at me

$therefore, m=5 , m=10, by null factor law$
FusedMeme
@solar cape u understand ???
yea so you move the -1 and m to the other side and then find two numbers that multiply to 50 and add up to -15
right
yes
ok thanks
can someone help me with the law of sines and cosines please

I did not understand as well as I thought
first thing I need help with is "the number of bacteria present at 8am was 1500, by midday the number had increased by 400. assuming exponential growth how many bacteria would be expected by 6pm'
so it would be like 1500e^(k(240))=1900??
e^(k(240))=1900/1500 and then do I do the log or ln i can't remember ☹️ either way that's either k=0.0004 or k=0.0009 but if I put either of those in it doesn't give me a right answer so I'm once again lost
?? I put in 1500e((ln19/15)/240)(600)=x and i got 2708.6 so 2709 which is an actual answer but I dont . understand how 😭
ok whatever I got the answer idc I'll let that one go, the next one is "the number of ants in a nest is increasing by about 5% per day, how many days will it take for the number of ants to double" how tf do i figure that out
<@&286206848099549185> so sorry ☹️
isnt it a 100% increase?
so u just have to figure out that how many days it will take to get to 100 %
ig
it would be increased by 200% wouldn't it bc if you have something at 100% that's just the initial number
I thought
I don't understand percentages I won't act like I do

no idea where to start
thats wrong mate
what
I mean
if I got 93%
its good enough 💀 the one I got wrong was one of the first ones I did earlier anyways
This isn't your channel anymore don't interrupt
@brittle tulip figure out what the inside approaches
but his answer is wrong and we are suppose to help
I closed the channel because I was satisfied with my score
Do it in a new channel
thats all there is
well fair enough ...sorry for disturbing but thats wrong and according to someone i cant help u here anymore
I got all the questions I asked about right
shrimple as that, have a great day
I wish you luck keisuke
lol good luck and read the question mate it is asking for days not percentage !
so
find the limit of the inside
then outside
Give it a try
ok
got negative infinity
Agree
now i do arctan(-infinity)?
as Lim approach 2 from left
but im not sure how to do that
<@&286206848099549185> is This correkt
Uh
Youre not assertively doing lim as y tends to -infinity of tan(y)
hm
would it be an asymptote of Tan
pi/2 etc
It will be, but just think of the graph of arctan
arctan
has no va or ha tho
nvm
it has ha of -pi/2 and pi/2
o
cuz tan -1(-infinity)
-infinity is basically the horizontal asymptote
right?

I feel dumb as hell but I 100% forgot how adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators work and none of the online explanations make any sense
The problem is 1/8 + 7/12 but I can't come to any coherent answer
LCM
Yeah which is 96 but like 7 isn't divisible into 96 without turning into a decimal
I thought it was multiply denominators together
Jfc none of these explanations have given me a straight answer
or you can take 24 common
since 24 comes in the 8 times table as well as 24
Cuz 24 multiplies into 95
96*
So now what do we do to come to a coherent answer?
Welp just flunked it because I multiplied 1 by 12 which game me 12/24 or 1/2
Now I need to try a different one
did u undertand it?
yes
since 24 comes in the 8 times table as well as 12
12 x 2 = 24
8 x 3 = 24
multiply each fraction by the same number
Got to 11/24 and it was right!
look in image
ah alright
It gives you three tries so I did 3/8 + 1/12
I realized that 8 goes into 24 3 times and 12 goes into 24 2 times
yes
So badabing badaboom can't be reduced
11/24 is right
?
Now there's subtraction but I'll figured it out
11/24 can't be reduced any further
well think abt it, can it?
are there any number that multipled give u 11 OR 24?
try 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8,9 .... times table
No, there isn't. I typed in my answer and it said 11/24 was correct

No I do not
so b = 105, now plug 105 into b for a = 3b - 9 to find a
so it would be:
a = 3(105) - 9
a = 306
b = 105
we know that:
a + b + c = 522
so we have:
306 + 105 + c = 522
411 + c = 522
subtract 411 from both sides
c = 111
306 + 105 + 111 = 522
yep
Oh
the first plane (a) has 306 seats, the second plane (b) has 105 and the third plane (c) has 111
Thank you
to be clear im not like an official helper or anything but i would be really surprised if i got that wrong
As long as you helped is all that matters
I wouldn’t have been able to write anything down
I’m horrible at math
im not too great at it myself to be honest thats why im here asking questions of my own🤣
send them i dont think that they r gonna get to my question for awhile
its not a fun one to solve
what year are you in school if you dont mind me asking?
It’s the only class I don’t understand

can someone help me figure out problem i?
the limit can only exist if the limit from the left side is equal to the limit from the right side
those are the left sided and right sided limits
is there a formula i use
there is a definition but it won't be useful in this case
it's better to solve graphically when given a graph
what does that mean
left and right side of x = 0 seem to be approaching infinity
and increasing
like
no it stops somewhere
yea?
nope
o
close to 1
approaching -1?
is it?
looks like it
oh
so left limit is going towards the right approaching 1 and the one at the right is approaching 0 by going to the left?
yeah
ye
it seems like for iii theyre not approaching anything because of the circle that isnt filled in
and then the floating dot
could that be limit does not exist?
You can show a limit exists rigorously by using the defn: For all epsilon > 0, there exists a delta > 0 such that the if 0 < abs(x - a) < delta) then abs(f(x) - L) < epsilon)
when x is approaching 3
its the limit doeswnt exist?
i think im good

he have 20 balls in an urn, 5 are red, the rest is white; we take 3 balls without replacement. A="At least 2 balls are red". What is P(A)?
If #o is the number of all possibilities, #o = 20x19x...x3
to find P(A)=#A/#o where #A is its cardinality
how do i find #A ?
Okay take 2 situations
1st situation is all 3 balls r red
2nd situation is 2 balls r red
We gotta add these
Probability of 1st ball red is 5/20. After this, there r 4 red ball out if 19, so probability that 2nd ball is red is 4/19. Similarly, 3rd ball red is 3/18
Thus probability that all 3 are red is their product (543)/(201918)
ok and then i add the other situations
how many of them remaining?
So the second situation is that 2 balls r red which is the same as one ball being white
Let’s say the first ball is white, the probability is 15/20. So the next 2 balls have to be red
The probability of next 2 balls red is 5/19 and 4/18 respectively
So overall probability of first ball white and rest 2 red is their product (1554)/(201918)
Try this out for the second ball being white or third ball being white… we get the same answer so add that up too
Thus the answer is thrice this
+this
I’m sorry I’m not sure what cardinality is

how i prove this
Let x be any arbitrary element of B
And then prove that it simultaneously also exists in C
Oh wait
you can also prove it using substitution and some laws like absorption, distributivity, ...
I think I can proof it more simply without any element stuff igg
Nah, I think x one makes sense

hey
?

ohh
ok here's the q: Decrease 77 by 0.25%
?
@fossil geyser
@final saddle
@final saddle
@final saddle
@tropic root
Do you know how to express 0.25% as a pure decimal?
no
without the percent?
do u mean 0.25
so the question would be : 0.25/100 * 77
Almost
To increase or decrease, you want to start with 100% (which is equal to 1), and then add or subtract your percent
So to decrease, multiply 77 by (1 - 0.25/100)
0.25 * 77?

(2a+3)(a-1) - (3-x)(-x-4)
need help on how to solve this
solve for what
u can apply distributivity and things will cancel
i tried and i got to 2a^2-2a+3a-3-3x-12-x^2-4x but i think its wrong
simplify it further
thats where im stuck
-3-12 = -15 or 1?
-15 why would it be 1
9*
its saying in the answers it supposed to be 9 so i just wondered how they got there
you did something wrong then, with expanding
recalculate
or show your work
maybe a sign error
sign change apply to multiplication only
hm
-2-13 is not 2+13
not but when its in the bracket?
-(a+b) is same as -1*(a+b)
i really dont know where i did wrong in it
show your work
,rotate
what does that mean
yeah so the signs do change
yeah coz its -1 x (a+b) x (c+d) form
because its a - infront of the brackets?
infront of the term yes
yeah sorry might be using the wrong words for things its not my main language
but alright thanks so when its - infront of it and - inside the - turns into a +?
signs simply change
didnt really understand much about that but yeah
i really need a first grade explenation on why -12 becomes + 12
and -3x becomes +3x
it it because -3 x -x becomes +?
so 3x
because there are - infront of both?
<@&286206848099549185>
i really need to understand why it becomes a positive 3x and 12
scroll further up for picture
@rough grove Has your question been resolved?
$-(3-x)(-x-4)=-(-3x+x^2-12+4x)$ is this allright so far?

and now the "-" before the brackets change all signs.
$-(-3x+x^2-12+4x)=3x-x^2+12-4x$
ThM
right gotta write it down
wait why was it already +x^2
without changing the signs i get -x^2
@rough grove
$ (-x) (-x) =x^2)$
you have a (-x) from (3-x) and a (-x) from (-x-4) -> (-x)(-x) = x^2
it becomes a positive when multiplying 2 negative?
what is (-1)(-1)?
-1?
no, 1.
im so confused
think about 1x(-1) and (-1)x(-1), should they have the same result or not?
not
so, what is 1x(-1) and what is (-1)x(-1)?
i think maybe the first is -1 and like you said the second one is 1?
yes.
but doesnt that just mean multiplying 2 negative numbers maning it positive
or is that just not the case
yes.
right thats what i was looking for
you can say it this way: multiplication of a number a with a negative number changes the sign.
multiplication with 2 negative numbers changes the sign?
as one number is negativ, it changes the sign "of the other number".
can you give another example
easier to understand that way
im very sorry for being hard to teach i just really need to understand this well
lets say we have (-2)(-3). write this in the form (-1)x2x(-3), first evaluate 2x-3 so you get (-1)x(-6), now, as -1 is negative change the sign -> 6 therefore -2x-3 = 6
or you learn it this way:
positive x positive = positive
negative x negative = positive
negative x positive = negative
positive x negative = negative

I don't understand why the integral of pi is just Pi(x)
Isnt pi a constant?
correct
if its a constant dont we move it outside?
well you can indeed do that if you want to
$$\pi\int_1^5 dx=\pi[x]_1^5=4\pi$$ and $$\int_1^5\pi dx=[\pi x]_1^5=4\pi$$
Duh Hello
you get the same answer either way
oh, i kinda see it. I just didnt understand why the X just appeared out of nowhere.
do you know integration rules?
the integral is the anti derivative, so since $$\dv{x}\pi x=\pi$$ then $$\int \pi dx=\pi x$$
Duh Hello
i know the basics integration rules when were dealing with numbers but i never encountered a situation where i had to deal with an empty integral. i say "empty" because my first reaction when i saw a pie inside an integral was to move it outside.
$\int dx = \int 1 dx = \cdots$
Nonna
You can also see it this way
what nonna says, the 1 is just implied when its not explicitly written
since $1 dx=dx$
Duh Hello

so if you prefer that way i can write $$\pi\int_1^5 1\cdot dx=\pi[x]_1^5=4\pi$$ and $$\int_1^5\pi dx=[\pi x]_1^5=4\pi$$
Duh Hello
So basically the anti derivative of 1 is x
since dx by its own is equal to one
i would not really worry too much about the meaning of dx right now. dx is NOT equal to 1, but its there to help us with some tricks that you will learn later. but yes the antiderivative of 1 is x and that is what is being used, in fact the anti derivative of any constant is just x times that constant

when we're with polynomial deg 2 = 0 cause 2 = 2x^0 and deg 0 = -infinite, right?
what
can you show more context
yes
problem you're working on, etc.
constant non zero polynomials have degree 0
there's no context
but that's what i've been told
to be coherent degree of 0 is -infinite the same way that factorial of 0 is 1
screenshot or take a picture exactly what you're given
this is nonsense
deg 0 is just -inf because that fits best into most formulas
like, deg(pq) = deg(p)*deg(q)
ye but degree of another constant than 0 is 0 right
yes
so this is sense lmao
no
the definition of factorial has nothing to do with polynomials. so whatever you said is nonsense

Is this occupied?
It’s just one question that I already had answered by my professor, but I’m still not understanding how
Number 3
My professor said it was c but I thought since it was a constant at 5 it would be a?
Like no matter what you plug in for x it’ll always equal 5
Yea true but going based off all the other questions ig that’s what was confusing
Maybe the wording
none of these questions establish their functions as being actual constants...
But I’m confused, doesn’t that question mean that the limit of f(x) at x=2 is 5…
Cant it be inferred at that point that f(2) is 5?
Only if f is continuous
no, it cannot
They’ve made no mention of f being continuous or not there
f may even not be defined at 2
I assumed cause linear functions are always continuous
But yea it’s technically not defined I guess
I kind of see now
[remember some of the graphing exercises for limits we did some time ago]
So we can’t infer that this is a linear function?
No, they haven’t said that f is linear anywhere
Hmm
I agree with you now, i just thought that what was being referenced in this question was the function
F(x)=5
And taking the limit of that exact function
Or do I have it mixed up
Yep, they’re talking about some general function and taking the limit of that as your input approaches 2
Meant 2 there sorry, they say the limit as x approaches 2 is 5
That’s what I mean though
Wouldn’t any value of that limit make the function equal to that?
Then again that’s me assuming the function so yea…
I guess I’m assuming too much of it? Or am i missing something else
What do you mean here?
Just wanna try to understand in case something like this pops up in a future test, not trying to be a pain
As in $\lim_{x\to 2} f(x)$ is given, and said to be equal to 5
chartbit
Not necessarily - it could, or it might be something else, or the limit might not exist
In that particular function anyway
So it wouldn’t be correct in saying that?
The way I saw it was using the graph of that actual function and realizing that it doesn’t matter if I plug in 2
Or 200
It’ll still be 6
5**
Not without any additional information, you can't deduce anything more
E.g. you could have your function being f(x) = 5, for which that limit would be 5 for all values
So it’s not really a great question or?
But instead you could have f(x) = x + 5, where the limit would differ
Do you think it’s purposely worded like that
It is - it's testing you to see if you know the difference between limits existing and continuity
That was the thing, we haven’t gotten to continuities yet like
In the class
Even though i pretty much have a firm grasp on it now
But yea, fair play ig
Similarly for question 2 I’m not sure if you can see it there?
I had a question as well
Yep yep - just remember that long graph exercise we did that time ago!
Yea I can see it! 
I’m assuming similar logic follows
Is the answer a
I had c originally
Before we went over it in class
I can't see the option c for the second one?
Ahhh fair, yea, it does exist 
Approach the same thing from both the left and the right
Ah so technically
Wait so is the third part not referring to the previous two parts?
As in how could there be a limit at 2 but when you plug it into f(x)=5 you get 6
chartbit
You can create examples like this fairly trivially 
Yep, piecewise defined functions are the best for examples like that!
There are more complicated and larger examples, but something like that should paint a fairly good picture for you
No problem! Is that all good for you? 
Let me double check
Oh, 4 was the last one sorry
But going off the other ones I think i got this one now
I used the same logic from before and chose a basically
And do you still think it's a, or have you changed your mind? 
I’ve kind of changed my mind to c but not entirely sure why
Would you mind explaining this one more time
Sorry
In terms of 4
I’d say just because 2 is plugged in and gives a value of 5
Doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a limit?
Am I correct in saying that
The limit might not exist, or it might exist and be something else, you just don't know!
It might be the same thing [at which point you're continuous at x=2] but you never know unless they give you more information on it!
No worries, have a good one! 
You as well!

why would I not lhopital this
is this not inf/inf
how did it become -1/2
bc what i did was I didsum and difference
then inf / if
lhopital
2x/2x on both sdes
= 1
1-1 = 0
Why don't you join the fractions together?
wouldn't doing sum and difference be easier
Nope
is there no sum a difference for limits?
Well there is but you will get 0/0 or inf/inf which will need more work
limits are linear so limit of a sum is a sum of limits
But these fractions are better off joined together.
Why L'Hopital?
bc i have inf/inf
2 steps and you can just find the limit with no need of L'Hopital
Also I think you're missing something really big here
You can't really use L'Hopital on these two fragmented fractions like that
why
You need to have it as f(x)/g(x)
Hmm
I think it's better if you try out joining the fractions
You'll see why you won't need L'Hopital
It's gonna take longer
Take common factor
What did you get so far?

Consider the field F = GF(2^6) = Z mod 2[x] / (x^6 + x + 1)
how do I show that α = x is a generator of GF(2^6)*?
what possible orders can it have
I believe 1 and 63 = (2^6 - 1)
how are these generators eliminated?
just calculate x^3, x^7, x^9
and see they are not 1
I suppose x^21 = (x^7)^3 shouldn't be that bad either
so once we see that they are not 1
what is the significance of determining that the possible generator is eliminated?
I don't understand how the order is related
a generator is an element of GF(2^6) of order 2^6 - 1 = 63
the order of an element is the smallest pos int t, s.t. a^t = 1
so we have candidates of orders t because it has to divide q (63)
and we check which = 1 to satisfy the defn
yes
no
it's not 1, so the order of x is not 7
we eventually want to show that the order of x has to be 63
I see
how do I evaluate x^3? I either go in a circle or require the inverse of (-x-1)

How would I solve this?
If I substitute 10 in for x
Then do the calculations it would be 0.6
What would I do after?
Do I multiply 0.6 by the adult dosage 250 mg?
Is it $\frac{4}{100x}$ or $\frac{4x}{100}$
Anagh
?
It’s like 4 over 100 then multiply x
So 250 x 0.6
Yep

Prove lim n ->inf (1+2+3+..+n)/n^2=1/2
normally
i would divide all the terms of the top and botton my n^2 and simply sub n for inf
but in this case i get zero if i do that
do you know a closed form for 1+2+3+...+n
roughly speaking, a formula consisting of the usual functions without any ... or limits etc in them
so what do i do for this question
im not sure where to start
my usual method isnt working
i would love to
or by pairing certain terms
but i dont know how to
im prettye sure i just have to use limits to solvethis
cause this topic is about limits and then first principle
if I add 1+2+...+n in the following way: (1+n)+(2+(n-1))+(3+(n-2))+...
what do I get
how many pairs
well presumably your teacher assumes that you know this formula
can u teach me the formula please
what do you think I am trying to do
