Does it line up with another formula?
Or are you still referring to L(x) by name choice
But why not keep it as “y”? What’s the reason to change it?
L(x) is more descriptive towards what it is doing? It could be P(x), g(x) doesn’t matter, it’s still y (output)?
It's not uncommon for the original equation to be written, say, y=x^2
Ya I noticed that too. Changing y to f(x) on the fly
Better to do L(x) and avoid name collisions
I guess it depends if it’s needed or not
I suppose in this case it is? To show linearization instead of point slope formula?
Not really. You can call it whatever you want
AFAIK linearization formula and point slope formula are exactly the same? Just different names?
Yes and no
How so with no? The derivative part for slope?
Linearization formula uses derivative for slope and applies to functions. That's right. Point slope is just generic for lines
Linearization formula is an application of point slope
Just to highlight that it is, well, a linear approximation function i suppose? semantics/notation like this change absolutely nothing to the core idea of the thing you're trying to do, but they help clear up confusion
in fact
if you search up "linear approximation" in google right now
google would show you this
did google commit an unforgivable sin by renaming the L(x) to a y? no

I don’t know quite understand the notation with this
It starts with y=f(a) + blah blah blah
But doesn’t y = f(a) to begin with?
m is f’(a) and x is a
not if they say it doesnt
Wdym?
y is the same thing as f(x) for example if f is the name of the function
Confused 😐
its ebcause you think y has some predetermined meaning
its like if someone tells you x=6
and you say wait but in this otehr problem you told me x= 15!
y doesnt mean anythign
its just notation
Generally y variable is reserved for output like x is reserved for input and i is reserved for imaginary
okay and they use y as an output for the points on their new line
When I look at point slope formula, which is kinda the same as linearization formula, y is included in the point slope formula
And you can find y from that formula
y-y1 blablabla
they are different y's then
But for linearization formula i read it like it says y=y-y1 blablabla
Is that how I should read it?
Yes for sure, y and y1 are different
no the y's themselves are
y is unknown for point slope but y1 is known
its fine if you understand what they mean
Well, I’m confused by that first line lol. Underneath the formula:
y=f(a)
That’s like saying I can replace y with f(a)
sure it might be confusing so its just bad notation
but at that point arent you just deliberately trying to misunderstand it?
cause you technically know what its suppoesd to say
and what every expression means
so I read this as f(a) = f(a) + blah blah blah and that doesn’t make any sense to me
It’s like using an equality operator when it’s not equal
How would you write it instead?
Is this just because math ppl are lazy?
Don’t want to write more clearly
no you kind of just run out of symbols
our professor today was showing derivative formulas with just the letter d
Product rule; quotient rule etc
It’s not notation I have seen before
d/dx is the only way I’ve seen derivative with d
So maybe that’s just being lazy
if its obvious you might aswell omit dx.
sure but i think its a weird thing to focus on
i dont get taht
or d multiplied with y. Now it’s dy/1, when it should be dy/dx
so? why are you writing /1 btw
Lol well that’s why I’m asking. Is it being lazy, or normal to write things this way? If we run out of symbols or whatever
what meaningful relevance would the dx have
dx/dx = 1
dx = dx

but like theyre telling you its the derivative right
and you know what that is
why does it matter to you if they write D() d() or d/dx
or f'
I guess so.. but what’s so hard about using actual notation rather than making this stuff up on the fly? I feel like it’s lazy imo
all notation is made up
Are they pretending to be Newton or something
We should go with the 4 derivative notations
AFAIK there are only 4
But it was made by the ppl that discovered the work
idk if thats always true
Which part?
that the notation we use is made by whoever discovered the 'subject'
That’s like saying instead of cm I will just write c. I used a ruler and measured 30c distance
sure
Ppl will just be confused for no reason, and will think they are too lazy to write correct notation
i mean you do that all the time in math
How so?
there is no correct notation
We are taught notation at the beginning of the class and then they basically throw it out the window anyways lol
the world is a big place
almost every1 have been taught different stuff
just explain it and move on
instead of insisting everything is written exactly like you want it to
which would be how your notation is and then other people might be as confused
and you just explain it and move on
True, and there are no standards with math. Like with the web we have W3C and all the browsers must comply. With math it’s like the wild Wild West shoot from the hip and keep riding 🐎
its just that notation is ncie and all but please never get to ofixated on it
you learn nothing of value its a waste of time
It's better to think of notation as flexible
It's like you're saying "English sentences always need a noun and a verb, but you can literally choose any noun or any verb. It's the wild wild west of language"
Well, that’s what browsers and developers do not want. It used to be this way like the wild west but now it’s a lot better
But I guess math and programming are different disciplinarians and I just gotta be OK with that
Tim Berbers Lee was thinking ahead and W3C was put together from the very get go. It may be too late for something like that for math. And perhaps mathematicians are more than happy with their ways and do not want strict compliance
Nah strict compliance would not be great imo
Math is a language of rigor that still offers flexibility in its writing
Also, it's very far from "wild wild west"
I think you are still learning
So new things come as a surprise to you
And W3C is nice, in theory, but every professional web page has to make 1,000 different configurations for all the different browser options and versions out there
In short, nothing is 100% compliant, and the more you try to enforce it, the further you get

. somewhat relevant: https://xkcd.com/1447/
I have this problem
"Ilan and Justin are competing in a math competition. They work independently and each has the same two problems to solve. The two problems take an exponentially distributed amount of time with mean 20 and 30 minutes respectively (or rates 3 and 2 if written in terms of hours). (a) What is the probability Ilan finishes both problems before Justin has completed the first one. (b) What is the expected time until both are done?"
What i've tried for A is by using exponential races, I used the probability that Ilan finishes P1 before Justin finishes P1 times probability Ilan finishes P2 before Justin P1 giving $\frac{1/3}{2/3} \cdot \frac{1/3}{1/3 + 1/2} = \frac{1}{5}$
heheitsop
For part (b) , I have it that on average the total solve time can be seen as 1/3 + 1/2 = 5/6 but i'm not really sure how to proceed fr this

how would i work this out?
how do you expect us to help you without just giving you the counter example :p
i was wondering if there's a fast method to solve this , because what if i subsitute 10 different values for n and they all agree with toms statement
fair enough , so if i was to subsitute n = 8 into the equation that'd get me 255 , how will i know if thats a prime number or not?
n=8 is not an odd number
and 255 is not prime, because it clearly has atleast a factor of 5 and 51
if not more
a number is prime if its only factors are itself and 1
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
9 is not prime , it has factors of 3*3
etc...
all even numbers have factors of 2 i.e not prime
oh i see , so in this case , i could subsitute a value n of 9
that'd would me an answer of 511
not prime
so would n=9 then be a counter-example?
how did you find out 255 has a factor of 51 , i get 5 since all numbers which end in 5 or 0 have factors of 5
but how did you figure out 255 was divisible by 51 fast
because I saw the 5 like you did
and then I knew it had to be 5 * something
5*50 = 250
so 5*51 = 255
so 5 and 51 had to be factors
I can also see that 3 and 85 are factors
right , well thank you for your time and help
yeah no problem

I dont get what I am doing wrong
The series are
[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{6^{n}}{4^{n} - 1}
]
and
[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ (n^{4} - 6) \cos(n\pi) }{n^{5}}
]
right? They look a bit blurry
@tulip coyote
for here, what did the ratio test get you?
yes those are correct
ratio test was an educated guess
it looked like it would be an apllication of it
and alternating test because of cos
@tulip coyote
But did you try to apply it?
Try it and see 
[spoiler: the fact that I'm asking you to try it and that I'm not questioning convergence should tell you what should happen]
well worth a comment is that the alternating test should work because cos(pi * n) = (-1)^n and (n^4 - 6)/n^5 has a limit of zero
[it's also decreasing from a certain point too, and those are the requirements for alternating series]
so the alternaatiing and converges test should work for that one
wait
so
integral test as well?
decreasing
ohpos
its not always positive
so alt test converging
The "it" I'm referring to is the (n^4 - 6)/n^5
But of course thee whole thing is not always positive
yea i forgot about the cos
thank you that made sense and worked
what about the other one?
comparsison test
diverges
diverges is solid info i know that
i dont know which test to use however
Well what does the comparison and limit comparison test state for you?
the limit comparison test shows that the original series is divergent
or convergent
well not really
but it could also tell you if it could be either
if the end result =0
so basically
Tl;dr if a series converges, then the sequence it's made up of must converge to zero, so if the sequence does not converge to zero (for whatever reason), the series cannot converge either
is what you mean, taking note that the converse isn't always true?
As for the comparison test?
wait so
the limti
goes to inf
so we can use the test to say that the series is not zero
?
Let me restate this:
if
[
\sum_{n=n_{0}}^{\infty} a_{n}
]
converges, then $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_{n} = 0$ \
The contrapositive is that if
[
\lim_{n\to\infty} a_{n} \neq 0
]
then the series $\sum_{n=n_{0}}^{\infty} a_{n}$ does not converge, which is also true \
however, if $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_{n} = 0$, that is not enough information to conclude the convergence or divergence of $\sum_{n=n_{0}}^{\infty} a_{n}$
@tulip coyote
As mentioned before, the limit of the sequence is zero, but that isn't enough information for convergence or divergence
Ohhhh i get ot now
so we can use it but it wouldnt help find convergence or divergence
ok i thnk i got the answer now
yea i got it it was b,d,e,f
thank you so much for helping me
i really appreciate it
now i can sleep peacefully

Given system of PDE \
$\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} -ax-bx-c=0 \
\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} -bx-dy-e=0$ \
is know to be compatible. \ What is the common solution?
Welf
common solution means a solution that solves both the equations
for these, you just integrate, and you just see which parts of one is in the other
when you integrate dz/dx, you get something + f(y)
when you integrate dz/dy you get something + f(x)
then you see if the f(y) is located in the other equation
and same with f(x)
Given system of PDE \
$\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} -ax-by-c=0 \
\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} -bx-dy-e=0$
Welf
dz/dx = ax + by + c
z = ax^2 + byx + cx + f(y)
dz/dx = bx + dy + e
z = dy^2 + bxy + ey + f(x)
you can see that the f(y) in the first one
is the dy^2 + ey in the second one
and the f(x) in the second one, is the ax^2 + cx in the first one
so z = ax^2 + dy^2 + byx + cx + ey
once you find what f(y) is, or what f(x) is
you can just pick one of the equations
and sub it in
so if you pick z = ax^2 + byx + cx + f(y)
and sub in f(y) = dy^2 + ey
you get z = ax^2 + dy^2 + byx + cx + ey
same with if you picked the other one
also
i meant to have 1/2
on the ax^2
and the dy^2
so the answer should be z = 1/2 ax^2 + 1/2 dy^2 + byx + cx + ey
wdym
And I assume the one can't be solved is
∫z dx since z(x,y)
z is function of x and y
When we work on multi variable function, we can take the other variable as constant when we're not working on it
I only get that on derivative
But no one told me it's work on integral too
have you not done multivariable integration
infact heres a pretty nice rule
Okay
Thanks Doc
Thanks for helping me out too (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)

the last step is illegal because you remove the limit but not its variable
try looking at the log of it instead
to use the limit of a product property

to check just try x when x is ~ 0 (mod 4)

2 (mod 4)
3 (mod 4)

Im confused how we showed f'(x) has a root
didnt we just show that f(x) has a root at c?
You showed f'(c)=0
yea but f'(c) = 0means theres an extrema
on f(x) at c?
not
on f'(x) at c?
no?
not completely
You have directly shown that f'(c)=0 for some c, this literally means f' has a root at c
Regardless of what else it implies
A point that makes the function zero
oh shit i got definitions messed up i was thinking something else
basically graphically
its saying if theres two zeroes
the derivative needs to be zero
so that if it goes above or below zero at some point
that it will come back to zero
right?
Yeah that's the right intuition
With the edge case of f having a repeated zero
Like x², but that still gives you the derivative being zero at some point
But what Paul is showing you is why that's true, specifically using MVT to make the intuition rigorous

Can anyone explain 12b
So B is on the circle
On of the points of b is on the circle
Its tangent (if you know calculus)
And it also passes through A
Oh wait
Can u use centre’s coordinates and point A to get gradient
Then get reciprocal for tangents gradient and get the eqn?
Oh but I don’t c how that tells what A is
*B
why you want to use the gradient ?
i dont get how to find distance AB without B's coords
idk im just trying to use the info there😭

What's the square root of 39?
multiply top and bottom by the conjugate
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
The thing is, it all started out with sum and difference formulas
But I think I did something wrong at the beginning so now I am forced to return to the beginning
Let me try and do this again
🧟♀️ \
Ok
SO
Im almost done
you should show the original question and then show your work
Ok I will
It's REALLY hard to read though because ive erased so much
;-;
Ill see if you guys can read my already terrible handwriting xD
learning how to write readable math and english is an important life skill
Sorry about the blue ink, I dont want people seeing my name
;-;
I don't know if I'm doing it right so far q-q
Ok Im doing something wrong I think
LET Me JUST RESTART ENTIRELY !
😭
Maybe I got the sides of the triangles wrong?
AHA
I THINK I FOUND IT
IT IS SQUARE ROOT OF 17 NOT 17
SMH
Uhm
You know what
I give up
I cant figure it out

are you working on a new problem?
did you get anything after doing this fix?
nothng that makes sense ;-;
ill just ask my teacher for help tomorrow because im too stupid for this i guess...

and y = height (yd)
I got 2 as X
so im trying to find the vertex
So I currently have
(2, max height)
and i need to find max height
except when i plug 2 into the equation I get 2.8
and that isnt the right answer

A fluid initially at 100C is placed outside on a day when the temperature is -10C, and the temperature of the fluid drops 20C in one minute. Find the temperature T(t) of the fluid for t>0.
T(t)=
I am just having issues attempting to make the problem
are you told anything more about the shape of the temperature curve? or are you to just assume that it drops 20 C per minute?
Nothing more, i would have to assume drops 20 per minute
so what don't you understand about the problem?
Just having issues, I thought it would be
T(t) 100e^-20t -10 but I was wrong
And I dont know what I am missing here
oh so it's not that it drops 20 C per minute
it just drops 20 C in the first minute yeah?
I think so, the instructions fon fuses me a bit
okay so did you try something like writing T'(t) = -k(T(t) + 10), T(0) = 100, T(1) = 90?
I went from the initial value of 100, and knew I needed a equation that when inputting T, it would remove 20 every time.
@modest birch
honestly this question is missing a lot of information
but your answer isn't it
you're going to need to get information about how the temperature changes
This is all it gives

So I need to solve this triangle. I found the angle C by law of cosines. C = 27.
Now I want to find the angle A. But when I use the law of sines to find the angle A I get 57. The law of cosines on the other hand yields 122. Why?
ambiguity from the sine law
So I should only use the law of cosines when trying to find the angles?
if you don't want to bother with ambiguity yeh
As in sine can yield 0 1 or 2 solutions?
well there isn't an issue for the angles that aren't opposite the longest side
$\textbf{ambiguity of the sine rule / law of sines:}$ \
there are two solutions to
$$\sin(k) = c$$
where $0<c<1$ \
for $0 < k < 180\deg$ or $0 < k < \pi$
ℝamonov
well there isn't an issue for the angles that aren't opposite the longest side
.e.g. 17m isn't the longest side, so you could determine B using the law of sines without worrying about ambiguity

x²+9x+2=0
The answers are x1 and x2
x1>x2
Find x1-x2 without Solving quadratic formula
We using vieta theorem
Recall that $(x_1 - x_2)^2 = (\underbrace{x_1 + x_2}{-\frac{b}{a}})^2 - 4\underbrace{x_1x_2}{\frac{c}{a}}$
A Lonely Bean
So $x_1 - x_2 = \sqrt{(x_1 + x_2)^2 - 4x_1x_2}$ 
A Lonely Bean
What's wrong
Idk I have no idea keep going
Just plug in the values of x1 + x2 and x1x2 according to Vieta's theorem
This you mean?
Yes not even that
They shouldn't have given you an exercise with Vieta's theorem if they have not explained it yet
Although usually you are expected to come up with something like the first equation that I presented
It's my first month going to tutor I ain't experienced with math
Anyways there are more like this
Look
We did 4th one
How do I do other ones
x1^3 + x2^3 is even easier if you remember how to factor a^3 + b^3
Remember? Never been taught
a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)
Hm
Alright wait I will write down all of those algebraic manipulations that you need
Okay
- $x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (x_1 + x_2)^2 - 2x_1x_2 \$
- $x_1^3 + x_2^3 = (x_1 + x_2)(x_1^2 + x_2^2 - x_1x_2) \text{ (relies on part (2) )}\$
- $x^4 + y^4 = (x + y)^4 - 2xy(2(x^2 + y^2) + 3xy) \text{ (relies on part (2) again))}\$
- Already showed you
- $x_1^2 - x_2^2 = (x_1 - x_2)(x_1 + x_2) \text{ (relies on part (4) )}\$
- $x_1^3 - x_2^3 = (x_1 - x_2)(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + 2x_1x_2) \text{ (relies on parts (1) and (4) )}\$

I'll save this thank you so much
Hopefully this helps
It surely will

I've gotten to z³+az+iaz-a+2ai+a=z³-3z²+4z-2
Normally you would need to apply cardan's method, but given that the question gives you an important piece of information...
c o n j u g a t e
^ as he said, and that's because the polynomial has real coefficients
then, given two roots, just use a nice property roots have to find the last one...
I've done that
(z-(1-i))(z-(1+i))(z-a)=z³-3z²+4z-2=0
that's one possibility
you can then develop and get the answer easily by coefficient identification
but you can also use the fact that the sum of all the roots is...

I've gone ahead and done cosx(tan^2x-16) = 0
then I got cos x = 0
and tan^2 x - 16 = 0
then tan x = + or - 4
I went ahead and found the reference angle which is about 75.964 degrees
I think there is still one more oslution I can find for tan^2x - 16 = 0 but I am stuck there

U never solved for x?
I have
whats troubling u
This requires distributive law
And I got a answer but it’s wrong
If you use distributive law
You get:
4+4-2x = 3-10+2x
Am I right?
yes
Then group like terms?
simplify both sides
So therefor 8-2x = -7+2x
Therefore if you add want to isolate 8 then you add 2x so then the equation will lead to -7+2x+2x which will be simplified to 8=-7+4x. Then to isolate 4x add 7 to both sides to make it 8+7 = 4x. Therefor 15 = 4x. So x = 15/4??????
,w 8-2x=-7+2x
Gooaaa has given @viscid bramble a reputation point!
So if we substitute this into the equation we get the same answer
both sides will be equal yes

i was trying to prove this by saying that the dimension of the eigenspace corresponding to lambda 2 is greater than or equal to 1, and that the sum of the dimensions for both eigenspaces is at most n. so then i could manipulate those two statements along with the assumptions to say the dimension of the eigenspace for lambda 2 has to be 1, making A diagonalizable
Pretty much it yeah
okay, but is it actually true that the sum of the dimensions is at most n? and if so, why? i was hoping there was a theorem in my textbook that stated something along those lines directly but I couldnt find anything
eigenspaces of different values form direct sum
what is a direct sum?
bruh why are so many curriculums so bad, determinants before direct sums
it means what A \setsum B is linearly independent
im looking at the textbook and it looks like direct sums is the next section
A shorter argument is just that there is some eigen vector in the λ_2 eigenspace, linearly independent from any n-1 LI eigenvectors in the λ_1 eigenspace
where A is a basis of V_1, B is a basis of V_2
So you have n LI eigenvectors hence diagonalisable
oh yeah i like that
that makes perfect sense, thank you!
You don't technically need to prove the 2nd eigenspace has dimension 1
Even tho it is true

im confused on how the chain rule works with implicit differentiation - why can you take the derivative of the inside term if the variables disagree and then add dy/dx in that case?
y is really a function of x
Its (y(x))^3
A composite of two functions
Hence the chain rule
why do you add the dy/dx tho?
That's what the chain rule tells you to do
"Derivative of the outer function times the derivative of the inner"
ohhhh i think i understand
i dont know if i fully grasp it but i think i will if i do some more practice with examples

What are you trying to find? NM? x?
first the x value which i would plug in to find nm
I understand how to do this one, but i am not sure how i would do it with the two equations in the previous image.
hmmmm
How would you do this one?
Because it's exactly the same...
12^2 = 8 * x
144 = 8x
x = 144/8
x = 18
Similarly, you can use the same for your problem.
MN^2 = ML * MK
Can you atleast form an equation for this?
(x+3)^2 = 16 * ( 16-3)
9?
Are we assuming that the line KN goes through the center of the circle?
No.

transitive means if a < b, and b < c, then a < c, right?
on more question. So according to my notes, if X is the set of all students at my school, and xRy means y takes the same course as x, i have that this statement is reflexive, symmetric, and not transitive.
Then I have that if X is the set of all students at my school, and xRy iff y has the same birthday as x is reflexive, transitive, and symmetric
but those 2 statements seem identical to me (logically)
is the second one only all 3 because it's an if and only if?
