lol

frosty swift
#

haha idk whats happening

urban sky
#

ok do you understand what the symbols mean ?

frosty swift
#

yes, sigma

#

i know it means i need to calculate the sum

#

the 24 is the last number i think

#

r is first number i think

#

and 9-4r is formula i think

urban sky
#

you have to put values of r from 1 to 24 in the formula and calculate the sum

frosty swift
#

OH

#

wait okay so 24 is amt of numbers in the sequence

#

wtf does r=1 mean?

urban sky
#

so put r=1 then r=2 then r =3 and calculate the sum

frosty swift
#

OH

#

DAMN

urban sky
frosty swift
#

okay so watch me big brain this

#

(9-4r)
(9-4 (1))
(9-4)
u1=5

urban sky
#

not r=5

#

first term of series is 5

frosty swift
#

(9-4r)
(9-4 (24))
(9-96)
u24=87

frosty swift
#

but noted

#

IS RIGHT THO RIGHT

urban sky
#

yes

frosty swift
#

pft im so good

#

okay now what formula do I use

urban sky
#

but you do realise that the series is an arithmetic progression right?

frosty swift
#

how would I know that

urban sky
#

write the first few terms

frosty swift
#

okok

#

OHR

urban sky
#

for r=1 r= 2 r=3 etc

frosty swift
#

(9-8)
u2 = 1

#

(9-12)
u3 = -3

#

5, 1, -3

#

d = -3

urban sky
frosty swift
#

wowowow

frosty swift
#

okay so now

urban sky
#

wrong d btw

#

calculate again

frosty swift
#

HUH

#

oh 4

#

shoot me rn

urban sky
#

-4

frosty swift
#

MINUS

#

FOUR

#

now for sum

#

s24 = 24/2 (5-87)

#

s24 = 12 (-82)

urban sky
#

5-87*

urban sky
frosty swift
#

I hate maths with a passion

urban sky
#

lmao calm down you just gotta be careful

frosty swift
#

s24 = -984

frosty swift
urban sky
#

minus

#

984

frosty swift
#

that's what I said

urban sky
#

lol

frosty swift
#

oh btw you can leave when you want

urban sky
#

so its sum from 61 to 158 minus 63,66,69...

#

you see where im going?

frosty swift
urban sky
#

61,62,63,64...157,158

#

find this sum

frosty swift
#

woah

#

what's n

#

nvm i didnt ask that

#

158 - 61 = 97

urban sky
#

and 63, 66,69....153,156 find this sum and subtract

frosty swift
#

wait is n =97

#

it doesn't feel right

urban sky
#

find un

frosty swift
#

how am I wrong

urban sky
#

what does un-u1 give you?

frosty swift
#

OH

#

158-61 gives 97

#

but 61 is a part of the seq... or something right?

urban sky
#

put 158 in formula of un and find n

frosty swift
#

good sir I didn't understand

urban sky
#

you know d?

frosty swift
#

is it not just 158 - 61 + 1

frosty swift
urban sky
#

what is d here

#

yes

#

you know first term

frosty swift
#

OH MAN

#

im sure there's a faster way

#

158 = 61 (n-1)1

urban sky
#

yes

frosty swift
#

158 = 61 + 1n-1

#

158 = 60 + 1n

#

98 = 1n

#

98/1 = n

#

thus

#

98 = n

urban sky
#

yes

frosty swift
#

god im so good

#

98/2 (61+158)

#

49 (219)

#

s98 = 10731

urban sky
#

yes

frosty swift
#

god is good

#

156-63+1

#

n =94

#

s94=94/2 (63+156)

#

s94= 47 (219)

urban sky
frosty swift
#

s94= 10293

#

damn i was on a roll

urban sky
#

why do you keep doing un - u1 +1

frosty swift
#

i mean it gives the right answer tho no?

urban sky
#

no

frosty swift
#

wait what

#

omg do i have to do the stupid thing again

urban sky
#

yes

#

156 = 63 + (n-1)3

#

cuz d = 3

frosty swift
#

OH RIGHT

#

IT'S 3

#

this is why im failing

urban sky
frosty swift
#

156 = 63 + (n-1)3
156 = 63 + 3n - 3
156 - 63 - 3 = 3n
90 = 3n
n = 30

#

mm mm mm

#

wait now do i use geometric sum or arithmetic sum

frosty swift
urban sky
#

3n=96

frosty swift
#

n = 32

urban sky
#

so 63 66 69 72... looks like a geometric series or arithmetic?

frosty swift
#

i think

#

i think it's arithmetic

urban sky
#

arithmetic series is when you keep adding the same thing

#

and geometric is when you keep multiplying the same thing

frosty swift
#

im so good

#

yessir

urban sky
#

so whats the sum

frosty swift
#

32/2 (63+156)
16 (219)
s32 = 3504

#

AND NOWS

#

we do's s94 - s32

urban sky
#

why 72?????/

frosty swift
#

fuck

#

you're seeing things

urban sky
#

63 + 156?

frosty swift
#

i used a calculator for that

#

10293 - 3504 = 6789 terms

#

yes?

urban sky
#

uh what was the sum for 61 to 158

frosty swift
#

10293

urban sky
#

ok

frosty swift
#

soooo yes?

urban sky
#

yes

frosty swift
#

omg

#

ty

#

im amazing

urban sky
#

slight correction

frosty swift
#

you're amazing

#

god

urban sky
#

not 6789 terms

frosty swift
#

ENGLISH

urban sky
#

like 6789 is the answer of the sum you were supposed to calculate

#

its not number of terms

frosty swift
#

yessir

#

THANK YOU

#

im gonna note down everything and then sleep

#

appreciate it sm

urban sky
#

lol

#

btw tip: focus on understanding the stuff or doing questions wont help much

frosty swift

The expressions in this triangle below represent the measures of the interior angles. Based on the information provided, what type of triangle is shown in the diagram?
i. Equilateral ii. Isoceles iii. Acute iv. Acute v. Scalene

#

If your on pc and its hard to read:
Top angle = 10x + 70
Bottom left angle + 6x
Bottom right angle + 4x + 10

#

I'm not sure how to go about solving this problem

#

I've looked at examples, and what I don't understand is where these numbers are coming from

main steppe
plush stag
#

I know how to find those things from a triangle, but not here

#

This is what other problems have asked, which I had no trouble with

main steppe
#

It's basically a bunch of pre-computed triangles for you to use

plush stag
#

Ohh. That chart was for filling out one of the previous problems. We've gone over the unit circle, but I think I'm having trouble with applying sin, cos, tan, etc to it

main steppe
#

Ah I see, those values will always hold for those angles. Basically, if you have sin of an angle, you take the y-value of the point. cos of an angle is the x, and tan is y/x. Then you flip them for sec, csc, and cot

plush stag
#

Ohh, ok I think I get it

#

So this is how I'd work it out?

main steppe
plush stag
#

What about ones where there is a number in front, like this?

main steppe
#

You would do just cos(pi/4) and then multiply the result by 3, and the same process for the sin

plush stag
#

Ahh, ok

#

And how does an exponent on sin, cos, tan, etc work?

main steppe
plush stag
#

Gotcha. I believe that's all I had questions about. Thank you!

sudden musk
#

do u guys have idea why there is the need for i+1-i/i(i+1) if we could already essentially have 1/i(i+1) as thr tule for this sigma notation

sudden musk
#

as the rule*

#

yes but how or why was telescopic sum implemented to that series i cant comprehend it fully

#

sorry'j

#

:((

lime shard
#

Jesus loves yall

#

lol

#

use mathway it helps a lot, idk if u have been on that website

sudden musk
#

okokok

#

I SEE NOW

#

1/i+1 - 1/i

#

thank yiu quasi!!!

lime shard
#

what is 1+1

#

Just as 1+1 is 2, so is the fact that Jesus is the I AM, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6)., Before they died

Confucius said,
“I am not the WAY.”

Buddha said,
“Seek for TRUTH.”

Mohammed said,
“I don’t know the purpose of LIFE.”

JESUS Christ said,
“I AM the WAY”
“I AM the TRUTH”
“I AM the LIFE”
"I AM the bread of LIFE"

sonic crystal
#

Find the volume of solid generated by the region under the curve y = tanx for 0 to pi/4, rotated about the x-axis.

sonic crystal
#

so im not sure how to integrate tan

final tangle
#

usub

sonic crystal
#

let u equal what? x?

final tangle
#

no

#

that would be pointless

sonic crystal
#

so u = ?

final tangle
#

it would help to first express tan(x) as sin(x)/cos(x)

#

there aren't that many options to consider

#

try and see what happens

tired walrus
#

actually you dont even need u-sub

#

just write $\tan^2(x)$ as $\frac{1}{\cos^2(x)} - 1$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

note you will be integrating tan^2(x) not tan(x).

sonic crystal
#

but wouldn't that affect the volume

tired walrus
#

wdym?

sonic crystal
#

like that would change the whole answer

tired walrus
#

how

final tangle
#

sry, missed the original question

sonic crystal
#

because ur taking tan squared

tired walrus
#

tan^2(x) is equal to 1/cos^2(x) - 1

tired walrus
#

tan is supposed to be squared

sonic crystal
#

oh yeah

#

lol

#

$\pi\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\tan^{2}xdx=\pi\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1}{\cos^{2}x}dx$

soft zealotBOT
#

water beam

sonic crystal
#

okay yeah thats easier now

tired walrus
#

incorrect

#

$\pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \paren{\frac{1}{\cos^2(x)} - 1} \dd{x}$

soft zealotBOT
sonic crystal
#

wait

#

why is it -1

#

oh is this an identity

tired walrus
#

yes it is

#

$\tan^2(x) = \sec^2(x) - 1$ might look more familiar to you

soft zealotBOT
sonic crystal
#

$\pi\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\frac{1}{u^{2}}-1\right)\cdot\frac{du}{-\sin x}$

soft zealotBOT
#

water beam

sonic crystal
#

but im not exactly sure what to do next

#

perhaps change the -1 into u^2/u^2?

#

is that allowed

#

I let u be cosx btw

tired walrus
#

no

#

no

#

no

worthy shale
#

substitution was not necessary

sonic crystal
#

huh

tired walrus
#

you need to recognize 1/cos^2(x) as the derivative of tan(x)

#

$\int \frac{1}{\cos^2(x)} \dd{x} = \tan(x) + C$

soft zealotBOT
sonic crystal
#

oh

tired walrus
#

and don't forget to integrate the -1 into -x obviously as well

sonic crystal
#

lol

#

ok

#

i see

#

Now for the region bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=\frac{x}{2}$ rotated about the x axis the integral would be $\pi\int_{0}^{4}\left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{x}{2}\right)dx$ ?

soft zealotBOT
#

water beam

sonic crystal
#

oops

#

forgot the square

#

$\pi\int_{0}^{4}\left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{x}{2}\right)^{2}dx$

soft zealotBOT
#

water beam

sonic crystal
#

i feel like its just random when you do the minus functions part but like right here It seems to have made sense to subtract upper - lower function

worthy shale
#

is it region or volume

sonic crystal
#

im finding the volume

#

also new quesitpon

#

for the region bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=\frac{x}{2}$ rotated about the y axis

soft zealotBOT
#

water beam

sonic crystal
#

should i first get these in terms of x

worthy shale
#

if you're finding the volume between two functions, that's the same as the volume from one minus the volume from the other

#

yes

sonic crystal
#

ok

#

so i got

#

x = 2y and x = y^2

sonic crystal
#

what should I have done

#

like

#

how should i have done it

tired walrus
#

you don't need any trickery for it

sonic crystal
#

what the hell is that

#

also

#

what do you mean

#

i dont understand

tired walrus
#

ok in fairness "pseudopolynomial" is a term i made up

#

but anyway like

#

you know how to integrate polynomials you don't need any special trickery right?

#

you can just apply the power rule

sonic crystal
#

uh huh

sonic crystal
#

because of disk

tired walrus
#

yes i never said you didn't

#

what im saying is that the "just apply the power rule" thing is still true even if you don't require the exponents on x to be positive integers, but allow them to be whatever

#

as long as they're still exponents on just x and not on something funkier

#

so the stuff under your integral is $\paren{x^{1/2} - \frac12 x}^2 = x - x^{3/2} + \frac{1}{4}x^2$

floral talon
#

So for 2605, I figured out how to do the the first one, but I still don’t get how to solve all the other parts? Is there a certain method I should be thinking about?

ivory ingot
#

Yes

#

Well, in fact, you can even compute each of cos and sin, but that night not be advisable.

floral talon
#

What should I be doing then?

amber moss
#

use the fact that sin^2x + cos^2x = 1

floral talon
#

How does that apply to 2605 b?

amber moss
#

well

ivory ingot
#

$\sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha = 1$

soft zealotBOT
amber moss
#

consider sqrt((sinx-cosx)^2)

#

which is sqrt(sin^2x + cos^2x - 2sinxcosx)

ivory ingot
#

So there's a trick to compute a - b from a + b knowing ab.

#

(a - b)^2 = (a + b)^2 - 4ab.

floral talon
#

What

#

I thought the trick was difference of squares

ivory ingot
#

..Difference of squares..?

floral talon
#

(a-b)^2= (a-b)(a+b)

ivory ingot
#

Oh, uh

#

You know, (2 - 1)^2 /= (2 - 1) (2 + 1)

floral talon
#

Wait never mind

#

Whoops

#

Wrong thing

ivory ingot
#

You are likely thinking of a^2 - b^2 = (a + b) (a - b)

floral talon
#

Yes

#

Sorry

#

🥶

#

Wait so for part b

#

I’m still not understanding

#

Do I solve it?

ivory ingot
#

No, use (a - b)^2 = (a + b)^2 - 4 ab

floral talon
#

Okay

#

So I did that

tranquil pine
#

you know the first part so you can just put that value there

sharp tundra
#

is this equation true>

#

$x(2) = x(4)(1/2)$

soft zealotBOT
sharp tundra
#

yes or no?

floral talon
#

I don’t know man

sharp tundra

im saying this

cuz I have another problem

#

like this

#

$sqrt{5}$

soft zealotBOT
sharp tundra
#

let me check rq

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

I don’t know

#

The square root of 5 is irrational

sharp tundra
#

$√x(25) = \frac{10^3x}{200}$

sharp tundra
#

$x√(25) = \frac{10^3x}{200}$

so

now

#

10^3 is 1000

#

and 1000x divided by 200 is 5

floral talon
#

Wait your right

sharp tundra
#

so we'll get x5

floral talon
#

I did 10^3 is 300

#

Whoops

#

Forgot

#

Your right

sharp tundra
#

k

#

now

#

i have bigger problem than that..

floral talon
#

I

#

Kk

sharp tundra
#

$x\left(5\right)=\sum_{n=4}^{14}n+\frac{26x}{5}$

soft zealotBOT
sharp tundra
#

uhm

floral talon
#

Right

#

So this is fun

#

Let me break it down

sharp tundra
#

k

#

so the sigma will get 99

#

so n=99

#

99+ 26x/5

#

x(5) = 99+5.2x

#

which is false

#

am I correct

floral talon
#

I am checking

#

Gimme a sec

sharp tundra
#

k

#

and this is the last problem I have,

#

$x\left(3\right)+\ x\left(7\right)=\log_{4}\left(64\right)x+\log_{7}\left(823,543\right)x$

soft zealotBOT
floral talon
#

X =0

sharp tundra
#

the top one?

floral talon
#

No the second one

sharp tundra
#

k

floral talon
#

The top one looks right to me

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

Right

sharp tundra
#

so the sqrt is true

#

sigma one is false

#

and the log is true

floral talon
#

What kind of math are you doing💀

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

You went from 2rd grade up to 10th real fast

sharp tundra
#

oh

#

so

#

basically

#

were just doing simple math like these

floral talon
#

Mhm

sharp tundra
#

bc the ones were doing after it

#

is difficult

#

so yeah

#

I believe like these

floral talon
#

No shit it’s difficult💀

#

You went from basic algebra

#

To logs🥶

sharp tundra
#

$f\left(x\right)=\int_{5x}^{7x}n+\frac{d}{dx}$

soft zealotBOT
floral talon
#

Alright buddy

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

Okay it’s fine

#

Let me check the equation

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

No I got it

sharp tundra
#

it's not even in my homework lol

#

it's just what are we going to learn

#

after what I'm doing

floral talon
#

What are you doing now💀

sharp tundra
#

💀

floral talon
#

Your ducked💀

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

Like when you started off with algebra

#

I was like

#

This kid is 7 years old

#

Then you jumped to intergrals💀

sharp tundra
#

idk why it's like that

#

basically our teacher said most of our questions are true and false for this area of math

floral talon
#

You got a wack teacher 🥶

sharp tundra
#

and he's also teaching us complex math like this

#

$\left(\sum_{n=5}^{24}n+\sin^{-1}\left(0.74\right)\cdot x^{\sqrt{187}}\right)\log_{6}\left(216\right)$

soft zealotBOT
floral talon
#

Alright what the hell

#

What math are you taking💀

sharp tundra
#

Like Algebra 2 LOLL

floral talon
#

That is NOT algebra 2

#

💀💀💀

sharp tundra
#

but my classmates think that's what were actually learning

floral talon
#

I don’t think so💀

sharp tundra
floral talon
#

Calc if your are solving integrals

sharp tundra
#

he said were learning integrals sooner in the year of algebra 2

#

for pre-cal

#

anyway

How to solve this one?

final saddleBOT
eternal wharf
#

Ohh i checked with prime 2,3 option 1 correct

#

No idea for the theorem

blazing orbit
#

Fermat's Little Theorem?

#

Just suggesting, I haven't actually tried I'm sorry if it's not right

final saddleBOT
#

@eternal wharf Has your question been resolved?

cosmic warren
#

I think I got a sln?

#

wait hold on

#

ok yeah and it does sort of involve fermat's little theorem, I might be able to cut a few steps by actually using fermat's directly but w/e

#

So fermat's theorem basically says $a^{p- 1} \equiv 1 \mod p$

soft zealotBOT
#

992qqoloy

cosmic warren
#

The ez way to prove that is using group theory

#

the harder way to prove that I dunno tbh kekw

#

but yeah if you're curious: $Z/pZ$ has $(p - 1)$ elements, by a slightly indirect application of Lagrange's thereom every element in the group has order divisible by the order of the group, i. e. divisible by $p - 1$, so $a^{p-1}$ equiv to identity

soft zealotBOT
#

992qqoloy

cosmic warren
#

Well the multiplicative group of Z/pz

#

If u don't know group theory trust me this is like first few weeks basics it's not actually that bad catthumbsup but w/e that's just a tangent

scarlet sequoia
#

$\bZ / pq\bZ \approx \bZ / p\bZ\times \bZ / q\bZ$.

soft zealotBOT
#

rafilou2003

scarlet sequoia
#

and then $p^{q-1} = (0,1)$ and $q^{p-1} = (1,0)$

soft zealotBOT
#

rafilou2003

scarlet sequoia
#

so $p^{q-1} + q^{p-1} = (1,1)$

soft zealotBOT
#

rafilou2003

scarlet sequoia
#

which is the element 1 in $\bZ / pq\bZ$

well only problem is I think arjuun is doing jeet so high schooler so idk why I even went on the tangent bleakkekw

scarlet sequoia
#

.reopen

final saddleBOT
#

scarlet sequoia
#

the other way to do it, much simpler to grasp :
$p^{q-1} + q^{p-1} \equiv 1$ mod $q$ and $p^{q-1} + q^{p-1} \equiv 1$ mod $p$ by Fermat's

cosmic warren
#

but idk what the jeet expects you to know either

soft zealotBOT
#

rafilou2003

scarlet sequoia
#

so $p^{q-1} + q^{p-1} \equiv 1$ mod $pq$ because $p$ and $q$ are coprime

tame karma

is my solution to teh following integral incorrect
i cant find any mistakes but it doesnt match with wolframalpha

tame karma
#

$ \int \frac1{x^2-1} \dd{x}$

tired walrus
#

$\int \frac{1}{x^2 - 1} \dd{x}$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

show your answer & show wolfie's

tame karma
#

Let $x = \sec\theta$, then $\dd{x} = \tan\theta\sec\theta \dd{\theta}$
$\= \int \frac{\tan\theta\sec\theta \dd{\theta}}{\tan^2\theta}$ as $tan^2\theta = \sec^2\theta -1$

soft zealotBOT
#

CoolShot

tame karma
#

$= \int \csc\theta \dd{\theta} = -\log(\csc\theta + \cot\theta)$

soft zealotBOT
#

CoolShot

eternal wharf
#

Coool coool

tame karma
#

putting $\theta = \arcsec x$ this becomes $-\log\left(\frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{x^2}} x}\right)$

soft zealotBOT
#

CoolShot

tame karma
#

however just putting the integral into wolfram gives

#

$\frac12(\log(1 - x) - \log(1 + x))$

soft zealotBOT
#

CoolShot

tame karma
#

why are they unequal

#

did i make a mistake anywhere

eternal wharf
tame karma
#

$-\log\left(\frac{x+1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{x^2}}}\right)$

soft zealotBOT
#

CoolShot

tame karma
#

but this is $\frac12(\log(x-1) - \log(x + 1)) - \log x$ which still isnt equal to the other quantity

soft zealotBOT
#

somehow (x-1)<->(1-x) and theres an extra -log x

halcyon oyster
#

the question is the limit in the top left corner

#

i wanted to know whether or not it was correct for the second line where i expanded the x^2y^2 to (x^2+y^2) (x^2+y^2)

#

i already went through and solved that the limit is equal to 0 but need to prove it with the delta/epsilon proof

solemn umbra
#

yeah: x^2y^2 <= (x^2 + y^2)y^2 <= (x^2 + y^2)(x^2 + y^2). the first is true because x^2 > 0 and the second is true because y^2 > 0 (and everything involved is nonnegative)

halcyon oyster
#

so using that was correct in the answer being cubed root epsilon?

solemn umbra
#

yeah if you pick \delta such that \delta^3 < \epsilon, then whenever 0 < ||(x,y)|| = (x^2 + y^2)^{1/2} < \delta, you get the rest

#

tranquil pine

tranquil pine
#

shouldn't it be 30+x(0.03) for the second piecewise eqn?

#

since it's per additional minute and not just a flat charge??

#

and how would you save $6 by breaking the threshold of 200 mins 😂

sweet summit
#

not quite. I see why you would say that but basically the problem is that the function needs to be continuous at the point x = 200.

Logically, you are correct that we start charging 0.03 cents per min after 200 minutes, but we need to consider that we're not starting from the origin, but rather at x = 200.

So if we can take two known points say x = 201 and x = 202and fine a linear line for that. At x = 201, we get the charge will be 30 + 0.03 = 30.03. Similarly, at x = 202, we get 30 + 2(0.03) = 30.06. So our coordinate points are (201, 30.03) and (202, 30.06) respectively.

then we can use the point slope formula like so:

y - 30.03 = (30.06 - 30.03)/(202 - 201)(x - 201)
y - 30.03 = .03(x - 201)
y - 30.03 = 0.03x - 6.03
y = 0.03x + 30.03 - 6.03
y = 0.03x + 24

#

so that's the equation that represents the charge after 200 minutes

#

I took some more verbose steps here, but I wanted you to see why

void osprey
#

Guys

#

Solve this

#

3x+1

sweet summit
sweet summit
sweet summit
# tranquil pine

The only thing here is that your 2nd equation should be 24 + 0.03x, not 24 + 0.03

tranquil pine
#

seems like a complex procedure

sweet summit
#

here's a visual between the two:

#

See how there's a jump?

tranquil pine
#

yeah I see

#

so we're making a formula so that we start at the original $30 charge when x=200

#

yeah now I see how my first eqn was wrong

#

we would be paying the 200 minutes + $30 as soon as the 200 minutes is over

sweet summit
#

yep exactly

#

I feel you though, intuitively it seems like it should be 30 + 0.03x, lmao

tranquil pine
#

yeah, that'd be the equation if x=additional minutes

#

but a formula like that wouldn't make sense if you're looking at it graphically

#

Ok, I understand it now. Thanks : )

u sub wont work

you need a trig identity

#

do you know the $\sin\alpha\cos\beta$ identity?

soft zealotBOT
trim lance
random forge
#

$\sin\alpha\cos\beta = \frac12(\sin(\alpha-\beta) + \sin(\alpha+\beta))$

if its an identity ill just look it up

#

ah

random forge
#

i assume you can solve from here?

lament carbon
#

wait @random forge is this possible if we do integration by parts

trim lance
#

well yea i guess

#

ty

random forge
lament carbon
#

oh

#

i thought that some terms would repeat and then we jsut divide by 2

random forge
#

sin and cos both cycle, and the fact that they dont have matching interiors means we can never combine them

#

im pretty sure you have to use this trig identity at some point

#

you are welcome to try, but even if it works its surely the harder solution

lament carbon
#

ah okay

trim lance
#

lmao ur gonna end up with 3 lines solution

#

@random forge

#

,rotate

soft zealotBOT
trim lance
#

i end up with the same prob

#

with what am i going to sub it with

random forge
#

you now have two terms added together

#

instead of multiplied

trim lance
#

wait what

random forge
#

and as we know $\int a+b = \int a + \int b$

soft zealotBOT
trim lance
#

i didnt start to integrate

#

just sin(x/2) cos(2x/3)

#

=(sin(7x/6)+sin(-x/6))/2

random forge
#

well the next step of your work is integrating, and both of those integrals are simple u sub

#

since you have two terms added together, you get 2 different integrals, of which you know how to solve both

trim lance
#

ahhh

#

wait

#

i dont get it

random forge
#

please split it into 2 integrals

trim lance
#

ah

#

Like so

random forge
#

yes

#

now solve each one individually

#

they are both simple u sub integrals

$if z^5-z^4-1$=0, find the number of roots with modulus 1

where z is a complex number

#

I was thinking of using $z=rcos(x)+isin(x)$ but I was hopping to avoid both trig and the binomial therom(Which I would have to use if I use $z=x+iy$. Is there any other way to solve this?

rare marlin

rare marlin
#

Would i need to plot points to show this geometrically?

grave shuttle
#

you can

#

to help you explain it

#

but they are askign you to explain it only

rare marlin
#

Doesn't that mean use a graph?

sand portal
#

Let's set y=c(x), so you get all the points of coordinates (x,y) such that y=c(x)

#

So ... (x,c(x))

#

You've shown (I hope) that c(-x)=c(x)

#

So that means

#

(x,c(x)) is on the representative curve of c, as well as (-x,c(-x))

#

Ow, but you know c(-x)=c(x)

#

So (-x,c(-x)) = (-x,c(x))

#

So (x,c(x)), as well as (-x,c(x)) are on the curve of c

#

So that means

#

If you take a point (x,y) on the curve

#

You will get (-x,y) on the curve as well

#

Now with that explanation, you can proceed to explain what it means geometrically

sand portal
#

Like the function f(x)=x²

#

You can find by yourself what this means

#

By plotting

#

Multiple points on the curve, so multiple points of coordinates (x,x²)

#

With x positive

#

So you then look at the point (-x,x²)

#

And observe where this second point is

#

Compared to the first

#

Then, if you so this for multiple points, what will happen to your curve overall ?

#

👍

rare marlin
#

So its essentially because of the fact that its a parabola a reflection along the y axis wouldnt change anything?

sand portal
#

Yeah, the parabola has this property

#

But that doesn't mean the curve of c is a parabola

#

You really have to pinpoint that geometrical reflection property

rare marlin
#

Id have to plot it to find out if the curve c had the property?

sand portal
#

You know it has the same property than a better known function

#

Why not use that better known function to remind yourself of what this means ?

rare marlin
#

better known function?

sand portal
#

I think it helps a lot to come back to simpler examples !

#

Well like the function I just told you about

#

The square function

rare marlin
#

yeah

sand portal
#

(-x)²=x²

rare marlin
#

So if i've proved that on the given function i can assume that the function is a parabola?

sand portal
#

I will repeat myself

#

For example

#

The parabola is only a simple example

#

You have other functions which follow that property and are not parabolas

#

Look at the cosine function for an other example

rare marlin
#

oh yea

sand portal
#

That doesn't mean c is a cosine function as well as a parabola (it would be almost impossible actually for it to be both at the same time...)

#

So you take an x

#

Which ever you want

#

You look at what the point (x,f(x)) is, for a function f such that f(-x)=f(x)

#

It will indeed show you that reflection

#

Well you mentioned that reflection

#

So I guess you don't need to

#

But you basically pinpointed the geometrical thing happening

#

That means the graph of c has that geometrical property

#

Because c(-x)=c(x) for any x

rare marlin
#

okay so i have the reflection property but i still don't really understand, is that the answer?

sand portal
#

Well it's a geometrical thing you have to explain

#

And I think what I described makes the deal

#

Or what you said too

rare marlin
#

So like i explain the fact that for any value of x, -x would result in the same y value hence the function is the same when it is reflected?

sand portal
#

Okay for the first part, nailed it, glad my explanation make sense

#

Now though

#

"hence the function is the same when it is reflected?"

#

I'd say

#

"Hence, the curve of c defined at (-inf,0] is a reflection of the curve of c defined at [0,+inf) along the y axis" for example

#

Here, that's better

#

But you absolutely get the idea though, it's all about formulating it

rare marlin
#

Hmm if the original function covers (-inf, 0] already wouldn't the reflection c(-x) result in the exact same curve?

sand portal
#

When you say "the same curve", that's what's really blurry

#

If I literally copy paste the curve on [0,+inf) to (-inf,0], you're just not going to get back the whole curve

#

Because when you do a reflection, you don't copy the function

sand portal
rare marlin
#

Oh ok so is it a different curve that looks identical to the original curve?

sand portal
#

It's not identical though

#

It's a reflection

#

A reflection doesn't create an identical curve

rare marlin
#

A curve that looks identical?

sand portal
#

But you see how loose you are being in your words ?

rare marlin
#

yeah

sand portal
#

"c has a reflexion axis of equation x=0"

#

Boom

#

That's the most concise way I've got

#

Does it seem better to you ?

rare marlin
#

Yeah i understand. So when they say explain geometrically for questions we target a property of the function correct?
