u showed that r = 3 here and 3^27 is 7625597484987
also r is the common ratio between 2 consecutive terms ie year 1 and 2 or year 5 and 6

How would I do this one?
This is what I did and it’s very wrong
u removed the 7 and simplifed sqrt50 to 5sqrt2
instead its $7(5\sqrt2)$
JustToPro
OMG
YEAH
TYSM
Is everything else okay? Should I get the right answer if I continue like this?
yeah the rest of the steps are correct

$x^2 = -3i$
$|x| = \sqrt{-3i}$
$;-\sqrt{-3i} = \sqrt{-3i}$?
is it true for any z?
any complex number?
so i dont have to take the module here?
like x is always equal to $x = \sqrt{z}$ without the +-
$$|x+iy| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$$
and is it true for any even exponent?
EndTimes
yeah i was able to calculate this but i was wondering if this always holds true?
i used the exponential form of z
$\sqrt{3}e^{-pi/4 + pi/k}$
Post the original question, you're being unclear
Yanek
sorry
what i want to ask is whether
$x^2 = z; x = +-z$ can i omit the +- here?
Yanek
at least for x^2 = -3i it doesnt make difference
There are always two square roots of a number
ok i thought that maybe its different for complex solutions
Except for 0 which has a double root
the pattern keeps going if you include complex numbers, cube root has 3, 4th root has 4 etc

how do I solve this knowing that for t=0, x=1 and dx/dt = 1
you can use laplace transform or take x = e^rt
This integral is famously know as the simple harmonic oscillator, you can find the general solution on Google
If you want to know "how" you should first understand all the methods for solving second order ODEs

Enter the equation of the line L that passes through the point (−3,−1, 4), is parallel to the plane : x+3y−z = 10 and intersects the line L1 : (x, y, z) = (−3, 3, 8) + t(1,−1, 2), t ∈ R. Make a principle sketch!
So my initial thought is that for a line to be parallel to a plane it has to be perpendicular ⊥ with the normal vector of a plane, right?
Considering it has 3 conditions:
- Has to pass (-3,-1, 4)
- Is paralelle to the plane x+3y−z = 10
- intersects the line L1 : (x, y, z) = (−3, 3, 8) + t(1,−1, 2), t ∈ R.
I'm not sure how to fulfill these conditions
Here you try considering direction vectors as x,y,z then make equations by satisfying these conditions
I know that the L i'm looking for should look something like:
L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + t(x2, y2, z2)
However i have no idea what (x2, y2, z2) aka the directional vector should be
Like to satisfy that line is parallel to plane you can make it's dot product with normal vector as 0
Yes precisely
i was thinking that but
That doesn't take the other 2 conditions into account
(x,y,z) * (1,3,-1) = 0
only fulfills the conditions for perpendicular
Like we have 3 variables now to solve them we need 3 eqns right
well the value on t doesn't matter right? Since that only increases the length of the vector?
Now other two equations we can make by considering a variable point on given line and putting that in our variable line
Yeahh it doesn't matter we just need any parallel vector irrespective of it's length
So (x2, y2,z2) has to fulfil all three conditions?
Yeah exactly
Well if we do
Either there is also a slickier way to satisfy intersecting condition like you can make distance with lines 0
$(x2, y2,z2) \cdot (1,3,-1) = 0$ then we get x y z for one vector that fulfills that is it perpendicular
Merineth
But with that equation we can't prove that it goes through the line , right?
We result in a directional vector for L that is parallel to the plane
Do we test it?
Yeah we can do by 2 methods like by taking any variable point on given and satisfying in our variable line but this is quite clumsy either you can make distance between two lines as 0 cuz if they intersect then distance between them must be 0
$(x2, y2,z2) \cdot (1,3,-1) = 0 \
(1,1,4)$
Merineth
Merineth
From where you took 1,1,4
well x * 1 + y * 3 + z*(-1) has to be = 0
Yeah right
Ooh you are putting values well if that works then it's good but many times that's doest satisfy other conditions so iť will be good if you cross check other conditions as well
Haha at times vectors are confusing especially with 3d geometry mix
Yeahh my way of thinking might not be the best but if it works it works 
Yeah but sometimes it gives fast results so its good too
L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + t(1,1,4)
So this is my line now that fulfils that it is perpendicular to the plane and passes the point (-3,-1,4) and now lastly we have to check if it passes the line L1
Yess exactly then job is done
|(-3,-1,4) +t(1,1,4)| - |(-3,3,8) +t(1,-1,2)| = 0
is this what you meant?
i.e.
|L| - |L1| = 0
Then it passes
Like i meant either you can see at what point these lines interect by making 3 equations from 3 direction vectors by using different 't's for each line but this method is really boring one
Now question doesnt want us to find point so there is no need to find it either make the distance between them 0 just like you find distance between two screw lines
Oh wait sorry i just realized that the points (-3,-1,4) and (-3,3,8) doesn't matter, right? Since we are only interested if the directional vectors passes each other, right?
|t(1,1,4)| - |t(1,-1,2)| = 0
So this is what we are after ?
Actually they do matter if want to find point of intersection of lines
Like first of all make different t s for each line
oooh right
Yeah had to think there for a moment
but shouldn't it technically be
|(-3,-1,4) +t(1,1,4)| = |(-3,3,8) +t(1,-1,2)|
Like you are try to find point of intersection between lines right
well that's basically the same thing as = 0
Like we can't be sure if they are same t s
So here we will have 3 equations to find point of intersection
-3+t=-3+r. ( I am considering other t as r )
-1+t=3-r
4+4t=8+2r
You can find r and t from first 2 eqns then make sure they satisfy 3rd if they domt then lines doesn't intersect
that makes sense, one moment and i'll check
Oh okay sure
$(-3,3,8) + t(1,-1,2) = (-3,-1,4) +r(1,1,4) \
(-3,3,8) + (t,-t,2t) = (-3,-1,4) + (r,r,4r) \
(-3+t, 3 -t, 8 + 2t) = (-3 + r, -1 + r, 4+4r)$
Merineth
Isn't this how it works?
Exactly yeah
Now we can conclude that t ≠ r
Like they can be equal but not always so in beginning we didn't take them equal here they are equal on solving equations like you will get t and r as 2
But what does this tell us? If t is 1 and r is 1 then both x are the same however
3-1 = 2
-1 + 1 = 0
Their y will not be the same
However their z will
Yes that's why we have to take any two equations by them we have to solve for t and r and then make sure that they satisfy 3rd equation
If they don't then we wilo conclude that lines doesn't intersect
I'm not sure what you mean
Oh like if you solve any equations for example take
-3+t=-3+r and 3-t=-1+r
Now from here we got t and r as 2 right
Then we will see if these values of t and r satisfy in 3rd equation if it does then we are done
Btw on putting 1 ,1 in t and r respectively doesnt make z equal
Yeah mb
Np
This part is very tricky
Yeah actually its bit confusing
We just proved that my vector that we "guessed" fulfilled that is was perpendicular and passes the point but did not pass the vector
so we have to find a new vector that fulfills all three conditions at once
Does this result in a matrix of equations perhaps?
Using Gaus?
Uhmm on putting t and r as 2 it does satisfy all three equations
Yeah !!
Like if you solve 1st two equations you will get 2 and it satisfy 3rd equation too
8+2t = 4+4r
This one works for 2
ohgod you are right
How the hell did you solve that ? :O
$-3+t = -3+r \
3-t = -1+r \
8+2t = 4+4r$
Merineth
Did you do something like that?
Yeahhh exactly now solve above 2 equation to find t and r and then put them in 3rd to see it satisfy 3rd or not
Mb I tagged wrong message
Do you have a tips for solving such equations?
I see that the first equation gives us:
t = r
Do i just solve out r in the second equation and then substitute r with t in the 3rd equation?
Yeah you can try eliminating one of variable
Yess that's what we need to do like from 1st you will know t = r then put t in place in 2nd then then you will know t and r
Yess
L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + r(1,1,4)
Yeah now we have the line
You are welcome!

why did the t from the right side disappear here?
is there more context?
is this cropped from a larger section of work
yes
this is a exercise from khan academy
this one has been buzzing me out for a while
show full context
they distributed the $\frac{1km}{6min}$ to the stuff in parentheses
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
a(b+c) = ab + ac
i get how they did this but im asking where did the t go and why
like by what rule did they cancel it out or whatever was done
subtracted 5km/(30min) * t from both sides,
combined like terms
similar to how you'd solve something like
9x = 5x + 2

Describe 4/x-3 as x approaches each value:
a) +∞ b)-∞ c)3+ d) 3-
I don't know what this means or how to start
Are you familiar with limits?
Yes they're the asymps
The denom increases
and the fraction value decreases
same things will happen to the negative infinity . . but the difference will be that its negative
but something different happens when x tends towards 3
what happens here is that the difference between 3 and x will be so small
like just an explanation ( 4/2.99999999999 - 3 ) so this will lead to the fraction getting bigger
( the smaller the number on the denominator the bigger the fraction gets )
but this will be negative because the difference between x and 3 will always be negative
@dawn thorn Has your question been resolved?
As x reaches +∞, -∞ the fraction decreases, ok but what about 3+ 3-?
as i said for x approaches 3
the fraction value will increase, toward infinity
but its different with -3
i hope you read this

How do I do this
Do you mean "moment" of the force?
$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \cross \vec{F}$
! What the hell am I doing here?
Alright so
Please
Moment of force, or torque is represented by tau here.
All you need is that cross product in rhs
I'm glad you asked,
r would be the position vector of the point of action of force wrt the point about which you're considering the moment.
So the difference between the initial vector and the new vector?
I'm not sure what you're considering new and initial, but it is going to be a difference, yes.
Why not write it down and I tell you if you're doing it right?
Okay wait
Initial vector was the vector before F was applied
And the new vector is after F was applied right
Lemme write this down
Another question
What does it mean if a force is applied to a vector
The answer is root57 units btw
?
@cold gorge
Something

I applying force to a vector means adding them right?
You're treating F as some sort of displacement? But that's not true at all.
No.
NO
NO
What does force applying to a point imply
Pushing or pulling that point.
Force is a physical quantity.
Your weight would be a force applied by Earth on you.
(You're overthinking this shit) you said you knew what cross product meant, but you ended up adding some random vectors when asked for a cross product.
You should revisit some key fundamentals. Maybe what a vector is in the first place? Then position vector and stuff.
And finally, cross product.
Yeah I should
But I need to finish this assessment in 2 hours
So can you like tell me to how to solve this
Two hours are more than enough to know what a vector is.
And r × F is what you have to do, that's about as much as I can tell you.
After this, you'd do the product and end up getting the answer? So it's just that really after that.

help
!1c
Please stick to your channel.
?
I need help on how to solve this problem
because Im confused on what C is
because if c is nothing the right side is always bigger
i usually would do 100 - 35 then divide 12
I understand how to do it
although Im having a problem with the equality sign
c determines how much additional fee is paid
the question says at least which means
you’re right
its minimum value should be = 100
and it can also be higher than(>) 100
so the sign is > or =
≥
can you explain how you would solve the problem
step by step
and with the inequality signs
and I think that would be enough for me
the fixed fee is 35
additional fee per class = $12
total additional fee = $12 X no of classes(C)
total fee = fixed fee + total additional
35 + 12C
she wants the to tal fee to be at least( have a value equal to or more than) $100
there fore the values that satisfy it are 35 + 12C ≥ 100
may you show the statement from the problem with having a value equal to or more than 100
that shows what it says about having a value equal or more than 100 because that would help me understand
@stoic temple
the third line said at least
at least means not less than
not less than is greater than or equal to
so do you just flip the greater than or less than symbol
when it says atleast
@stoic temple
May you go over it all
and say how you switched the greater than sign or less than symbol and why you switched it in the equation
what caused you to switch it

what did I do wrong
because isn't the x^2 supposed to be alone
What's the question?
solve each of the following quadratics by factoring
You can factor with a coefficient in front of the x^2
It'll just be in the form (x+a)(3x+b)
Indeed
of 5 and -2?
Your product needs to be scaled by the leading coefficient
So you need a product of 3*(-2)
I'm not sure what that means
You want two numbers that add to 5 and multiply to -6
-6 doesn't get divided by 2?
Why would it?
10 got divided by 2 because you're factoring out a 2
ohh
After factoring, your constant term is -2, which must be adjusted thusly
You can divide both sides of your equation by 2 to remove it if you want
2 (3x^2+6)(x-1)
That gives you a leading term of 3x^3
😭
I think you need to stop skipping steps
what did i skip
You're starting with the equation 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0
Now you should decompose the 5x term using the two numbers you previously found
3(x^2+6-1) = 0
No
..
To decompose 5x means to rewrite it as 6x - 1x

im so confused
my answer is - (e^x)/
ok idk how to explain it in writing
thats my answer
2 problems
not only is that none of the answer choices i see
but when i search up the derivative to the problem the answer it gives isnt any of the answers either
one of their answers is correct
hoq
how
oh and number 3
the answer choices have 1-u^2
instead of u^2-1
which is what the trig derivative of cscx is
<@&286206848099549185>
so I tried using right triangle method to further look into this problem
and i got
which still isnt equal to any of the answers

Where did i go wrong at the end? There shouldnt be a e^-0 but i dont know how to get rid of it
e^-0 = e^0.
1-0=?
Isnt e^0 = 1?
1
But then wouldnt i get 2-1/e-1? The answer doesnt have the -1 part
So?
2-1=1
No i mean like the answer sheet says i should get 2-1/e
Yea so
but rn im getting a -1 at the end too
You messed up the sign on e^0
Not sure what u mean by this
You have a - on -e^0. It should be +e^0
Isnt it supposed to be f(1) - f(0)?
Yes. What's f(x)?
e^-x
You need to evaluate this using the antiderivative
Oh -e^-x?
Yes
,w diff -e^(-x)
But i still get this as the answer

can someone help me with this i came up with the equation 2000-2x=sqrt2x^2 and solved for 2000-1000sqrt2 but that isnt an option
careful with how you defined x
note that you defined x to be the leg of the isosceles triangle
and not the side length of the octogon
what do you mean?
did you draw a diagram with this?
yeah
show what you drew
solved for 2000-1000sqrt2
is this the value of x?
well you said that's the value you obtained
solving your equation lead you to
something = 2000-1000sqrt2
was that "something" x
yeah
now look at your diagram
oo
your x represents
the leg of the isosceles triangle
yeah
so that's what you've calculated from that
so what equation would make sense to get the length of the octagon?
well what's the equation initally you set up and why
why did you set
2000-2x equal to sqrt(2x^2)
where did those expressions come from?
i thought that 2x would be the kinda "excess" of one of the side lengths of the square and sqrt(2x^2) would be the hypotenuse of the triangle which is also the side length of the octagon
yes
exactly
those are the lengths of the octogon
(in terms of x)
having found x
plug that in and you'll have the numerical value for the side length
o ok but is there like a seperate equation where i can find the side length directly?
you could set it up differently
i.e. use your variable of choice to represent the side length of the octogon, instead of leg of the triangle
express the other lengths in terms of that
and solve like before, applying the same principles/idea
so what would the equation look like if i use x as the side length?
determine the side legs of the triangles in terms of x
(2000-x)/2?
yes
applying the same principles/idea
i.e. pythag for the hyp (a side of the oct)
and set the expressions for sides equal to each other
and solve for x
so what would the other side be?
read above
applying the same principles/idea
i.e. pythag for the hyp (a side of the oct)
the same way you applied pythagoras before
o ok i think i get it thanks

Is it true that when there is a dot between a scalar and a vector, it is just scalar multiplication and not dot product? I'm confused because they're contradicticng each other.
It could be. However, since the question is about "whether or not the operations make sense", I think they're trying to be very clear about the operations they're using
So every • is a dot product
In this question (letter c), is it dot product or scalar multiplication?
@royal gust
@wicked musk Has your question been resolved?
the x means cross product
the . means dot product
how can I solve them?
you should google what cross product is
cross product is between vectors, right? but in letter d, I am getting a scalar quantity from (3u.v). How can I solve the cross product between a scalar and a vector?
then presumably for (c) and (d), . and x can also stand in for scalar multiplication
the coordinate definition of a dot product is undefined, as they must be the same length
likewise, the transpose definition
$$a\cdot b = a^{T}b=ab^{T}$$
is also undefined for the same reason
Cycadellic
a dot product is generally an inner product, which must always be a scalar
so the interpretation that a scalar dot a vector is a scalar product does not make much sense, and i feel it is ill defined to say they are the same
then should I just say that the letter c is impossible to compute?
yeah
if we know that * is a dot, and a,b,c are vectors
a*b*c isnt computable
unless, i suppose, they are all singletons
then this definition can work, but in general, no
also, most lin al people dont traditionally see singletons as vectors, so, its a pedantic point you shouldnt worry about

Can someone help me get the answer for those two angles, I keep getting undefined for both of them
,rcw
Use law of cosines
undefined what
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
well, make sure you are operating in degrees for one thing
I have no idea what I did wrong
that's not the right formula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(C)
...or at least
not the right context
how is BAC = a^2???
You solved for cosine incorrectly
find AC first.
Don't skip algebraic steps
,rotate
...yes.
I found it to be 9.9
this is correct
I recommend you use Law of Sines to find either one of the missing angles.
so cos law doesn't work for these?
AC?
well, you rounded to one decimal place
do you need higher precision?
9.868576408
I don't think my school is that precise
that answer is correct.
hmmm
$\frac{\sin{(75)}}{9.868576408} = \frac{\sin{(A)}}{9} \rightarrow A = \arcsin{\left(\frac{9\sin{(75)}}{9.868576408}\right)}$
Melvin Eugene Punymier
shouldn't be, if you did it right

I got 61.75239055 degrees
tru
but there's only 3 points on this one triangle
so it's unambiguous what we mean if we just say, "angle A"
wat
my other angle was right!
~neat~
I added them up to be 179.9
I'll try use law of cos again to redo it with all the decimal places
mmm...
you'll be faster if you only use that when you need it
law of sines is faster than law of cosines
do u know of any videos that are helpful for rational functions
no, I would just look for the topic if it were me
I never used law of sine before so I didn't try it for this guy
Law of Sines is introduced before Law of Cosines in school.
I haven't learned it in school
I only learned it yesterday
because I was sick half the year at school
ok, well pick that up too then
yup
it's useful and pretty easy
what's that mean
I think law of cos is easier to rmbr
I would just google the topic and read the best page that came up
what do you need to know about rational functions
the asymptote rules are well-documented
but I'm in year 12 wouldn't the google show more advanced stuff
this is a VERY well-traveled subject
no, you are at the bottom of the bottom
well travelled wuts that mean
you don't know what math is yet

YOU DON'T KNOW THE CRAZY MATH THAT'S OUT THERE!

🤓
is this stuff easy for u
yeah, so Calculus is "the top of the bottom" of Math imo
my maths
it's the least you need to know before you can explore the frontiers of Math
"frontiers" meaning areas of math that are still being established
I'm not gonna try any harder stuff I'm only doing this to get good in tests
maths is too hard
that's alright
this is the hardest level of maths in my school
the stuff we are talking about is
I don't think that it is
they probably at least offer a Modeling class
in my country there's either methods maths
or specialist maths
and this is specialist
like the hard math
Paul's Online Notes is the best resource I know for studying Calculus. He also has very good review sections
like this one
no
have you ever been tested for some kind of something
okok I'll look at it when I'm done
huhh
Mathlexia or visual processing something or other

I'll take that as a "no"
what grade r u in
I'm almost 36.
r u a professor
in maths?
in whatever, but preferably Math
oh, I mean "yes"
I came across a YouTuber
in the wild?
he teaches
every single maths
and each topic is only a few minutes
is this actually everything there is to learn
oh I remember him
is he good?
I used a video he made on geometry once
in a summer school class
I only saw a couple of videos but I thought so
I am not easy to please
or maybe I just screenshoted his diagrams?
I think I showed the video
but there only 150 ish videos
is maths really that short
around 1000minutes in total

- I've learned how to integrate equations and find it's antiderivatives in order to verify my solutions.
not realy a math question but sorry is this worded right or do i find the antiderivatives of diffrential equations to verify answers
If you're working on a problem just show it
i am not it is a discussion board post based on 3 videos
Well just do some problems to test your knowledge then
alright but is my wording right
No
can u tell me whats incorrect about iti

convert the equation into the general equation of the function
i dont remember coordinate that much, sorry man

you could always just plug in y = 2 and then show that there are x_1, x_2 such that (x_1, 2) and (x_2, 2) are on the curve
but arguably changing it into the equation of a circle isn't a bad idea

LCM
I believe they used a first order approximation of square roots (this could be incorrect)
what is that
is that binomial expansion
I would guess you must have some kind of formula for that approximation
Notice it's all squiggly signs not equal signs
Each step is an approximation
"Small angle approximation for cos x"
They are basically saying when x is sufficiently small you can say cos x is decently approximated by that formula
i get the cos x part
i mean the part after that
how did they do that
It looks like another approximation formula
It's not equality so there's no algebra to make those equal
You must have been given a formula for approximating that, maybe related to binomial expansion form mentioned in that other step
i think this
The class youre in must have specifically gone over this method for approximating square root of a sum
they subbed in the 2 - x^2 /2 , got rid of the power and put a half at the front
how
Because it's not equality
They are showing you a trick for approximating square roots
The expressions aren't equal to each other
This is just the result of a taylor expansion of sqrt(1-x^2). If you've seen how to find the small angle approximation for cosine you should have seen this at some point
Write $\sqrt{1-x^2} = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$, then $\int_{0}^{0.4} \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}} dx \approx \int_0^{0.4} 1-\frac{1}{2} \frac{x^{2}}{2} dx$ which is what you have.
i have never seen this , what part of maths is this?

,, \lim_{n\to\infty}\f{\s[n]{\f{n^n}{n!}}n^n +(n+\s[n]n)^n}{n^{n+\ff{\s[n]n}n}+n^n}
how do you go about evaluating this?
the answer ends up being e, but this is really monstrous
someone gave a toddler a crayon
you probably dont go about solving it
first thought is to divide throughout by n^n
because that seems to be a common thing going on in all the terms
@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?
Yep, then I guess you can split it up, the denominator will approach 1
The numerator will approach something + 1
,w n to infinity ((n^n)/(n!))^(1/n)
Not e + 1?
no e
Dividing everything through n^n, that square root in the numerator approaches e, the bracket approaches 1, the denominator 1
i used wolfram to evaluate it
ok
If we exapnd (n + n^(1/n))^n, won't it be n^n + o(n^n)
And when we divide by n^n, everything o(n^n) -> 0
And n^n/n^n = 1
Is that /n only meant for the root
Or the entire exponent
idk what o(n^n) is but using binomial theorem will leave 1 so ig yes
for the root
I use o(n^n) to say n^(...) with ... lower than n
i would have specified with parentheses otherwise
Exactly
,w n^(n^(1/n)/n) for n to infinity

For a list of 5 numbers, you can either add or subtract 1 from the first, 2 from the second, 3 from the third ... 5 from the last, or you can do the same, 1 from the second, 2 from the third, 3 from the fourth, 4 from the fifth, so on and so forth up to adding/subtracting 1 from the fifth. What is the minimum number of moves it takes for this list to become a list of 0's? (-2, 1, -7, -3, 8)
Right now, I have the answer of 25
I don't think that it is correct, and would like help in either verifying or disproving my answer.
there are 5 types of moves, and each can be an add or subtract, so there are a total of 10 moves
got it
the 5 types are 1 2 3 4 5, 0 1 2 3 4, 0 0 1 2 3, 0 0 0 1 2, and 0 0 0 0 1
each can be either added or subtracted
<@&286206848099549185>
Anyone?
if you focus on one number left to right i get 37 moves
so i don;t understand what you did
first we add the 1 2 3 4 5 spray twice, to get 0 5 -1 5 18
same
right i think that's the way, that's 37
I got 35?
hm
no i think this is the only way
how so?
there's no point using both + and − 1 2 3 4 5
we would only use one type
and nothing else affects the first number, so we know we would use 2 and 0 of those
now exclude those operations and the logic repeats for the second number
How about the list 1 3 -2 -7 6?
oh you mean calculate this faster
yeah there's maybe a shortcut i just meant you can;t use less ops
no I mean less steps
ur explanation makes sense
so for this list, we would get 0 1 -5 1-11 0
0 0 -7 -14 -4
0 0 0 0 17
0 0 0 0 0
right?
for a total of 26 moves
@sturdy cypress
yeah but it's 1 after step 1
i get 27
well F
they wrong
they explained one question, although it was pretty trivial
it was 0 0 0 -1 3
they made it
0 0 0 -1 -2
and then
0 0 0 0 0
for 6 moves
but the order we do it in shouldn't matter
even if we did our method, working from the back, we still get 6
0 0 0 0 5
0 0 0 0 0
which is 6
argh
OH
IM STUPID
@sturdy cypress the list is 1 3 -2 -7 5
so we get
0 1 -5 -11 0
0 0 -7 -14 -4
0 0 0 0 17
0 0 0 0 0
for 26!

Probably an ignorant question but how do functions like $sin^2(x)$ work? what does it even mean to 'square' a trigonometric function?
Wapple
sin(x) multiplied by sin(x) ?
stuff like this
Oh
thats just a random screenshot from google images but thats what it is
that comes from the identity sin^2x+cos^2x=1
but what does it even mean to square sin(x)?
how is it calculable? is it even a true function?
multiply sin(x) by itself?
yes
the same way you square any number
sinx gives you a number value between -1 and 1
oh, so $f^2(x) \implies f(x)^2$?
Wapple
lmao i thought it would be way more complex
