yup
and that's any arbitrary function?
^2 literally means to multiply something by itself, so i'd assume so

The question is: does the permutation (first picture) determine the element in the second picture in an order 4 determinant... im not sure what its even supposed to mean, I know that the a31... is just different elements of a matrice (the numbers are row and column) but what does the permutation have to do with it?
the correct answer is that its false
they are talking about the leibnitz formula for the determinant
$\det(A) = \sum_{\pi\in S_n} \operatorname{sgn}(\pi) a_{1,\pi(1)} a_{2,\pi(2)}\cdots a_{n,\pi(n)}$
Denascite
have you seen that formula before?
@lament portal Has your question been resolved?
dont think so,
well not in this state, but we did it with the leibniz formula,
i just dont know what should be done with the permutation
well if not like this, then how
you are supposed to check whether you get the term on the right if you plug the permutation into $\operatorname{sgn}(\pi) a_{1,\pi(1)} a_{2,\pi(2)}\cdots a_{n,\pi(n)}$
Denascite
at least thats what I assume they want
this is basically how we did it, so Im a bit confused how this would apply to permutation

Let $X_1, ..., X_n$ be independent random variables with distribution $Pois(2)$. $Y ~ N(0,1)$. For what $f(n)$ does following hold:
$$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}P(\sum_{i=1}^n X_i > f(n)) = P(Y > 1)$$
szahu420
So far my reasoning is $\sum_{i=1}^n X_i = X ~ Pois(2n)$ since they are independent
szahu420
I also know that $P(Y > 1) = 1 - \Phi(1)$
szahu420
not a clue where to go from here tho
I got the equation $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{2n^{f(n)}}{e^{2n}f(n)!} = 1 - \Phi(1)$

@odd sleet Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Your limit isn't quite right because you are trying to calculate the probability your sum of poisson random variables is greater than f(n). So there is going to be an infinite sum in there too.
Either way, this is going to make a very difficult equation to work with. The approach you should take is to think about the problem in terms of the central limit theorem. Rescale your probability so that it converges to a normal distribution, then rescale that normal so that it reflects P(Y>1).

heeelllpppppp
12
it looks like you dont have enough information
<@&286206848099549185>
DE is smaller that AC but we dont know how much smaller
yeah, idk is there a theorem than can help me with that?
yeah you do have enough information
you are told that "the crossbar DE is attached at the midpoints"
so try to figure out the relationship between the length of DE and the length of AC
how tho
you cant
you could measure the image
de and ac are parallel
yeah but this lesson is kinda based on proofs, just learned the mid seg theorem
what that
and? the lengths
that AC and DE are parallel?
bruh what
what does this say about the lengths
AC is 4 1/2
y are you multiplying by 2
as I said, do you know how long the crossbar is now?
no?
We saw early on that 100 pennies, dimes, and quarters cannot total $5.00. Show that
they can total $4.99, and find all five combinations of coins that achieve this total (careful
that all your numbers of coins are non-negative!).
oh u know i think ik what to do now
what does the theorem that you posted say about the length of the crossbar?
any one can solve it?
its 1/2 it
half of what
DE is 1/2 AC
okay so how long, in inches, is the crossbar, given the information in the problem?
take a separate help channel
27 inches
so yeah its long enough
27 is less than 30
and there's your answer
also I told you absolutely nothing you didn't know already or couldn't read in the question

105pi/2 is in its most simplified form
you cant simplify 105/2 because 105 is an odd number and pi is irrational
And how come they simplified 91pi/2
because $\frac{91}{2} = 45 + \frac{1}{2}$ usally if you can express your answer with 1 addend you would wanna do that
tobi
Omg
I just need the answer but idk how to say it
91pi/2 was 44 3pi/2
And I have to do the same thing with 105pi/2
Please I’ve been trying to find the answer for the past hour
Please
Someone
@odd rivet
do you know what $\frac{104}{2}$ is?
tobi
52
$91\frac{\pi}{2} \neq 44 \frac{3 \pi}{2}$
tobi
tobi
So it’s 1pi/2
$91\frac{\pi}{2} \neq 44 \frac{3 \pi}{2}$
tobi
tobi
$91\frac{\pi}{2} = 91 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{91 \pi}{2} = \pi \cdot \frac{91}{2}$
What?
tobi
yes but this is wrong
$e^{ix} = \cos(x) + i \sin(x)$
tobi
do you know the value of $e^{i \frac{\pi}{2}}$
tobi
you should however know the value of $\cos(\pi/2) + i \sin(\pi/2)$
tobi
ye your answer should be correct

does e^x grow faster then n!?
I think the order of fastest growing was
ln(x)
x^p
a^x
x!
x^x
remember than n! is just a constant here
can I also ask how can he come up with by dividing with x
like I see it works after it
being done
but coming up with it
is harder
a common trick when you have limits involving powers of x is to divide numerator and denominator by the highest power (counting powers inside roots as fractional, e.g. $\sqrt{x^3+1}$ would count as 3/2
cloud
oh
I didn't knew that
oh wait I think I knew that trick
to calculate horizontal asympotote
I guess I just didn't thought about it then
yes, this is basically just asking for the horizontal asymptote
ye I just not used to being asked like this
usually used to asked about calculate the horizontal asympotte

Can someone help me with this im not sure where to start
idk what it means by center of mass
An object’s center of mass, sometimes also called the center of gravity, can be thought of as the point where the total mass of an object or a system can be treated as a point mass.As far as a formula goes, it's:
$$ \frac{1}{M}[m_1x1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3] $$
Where $M$ is the total sum of the mass, and each $m_n$ is a mass and $x_n$ is the corresponding distance

Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
it doesn' t just have to be 3 points, I only did that because you have 3 masses here. BUT, the rule can be applied for many more points if you have them
for a line like this, think of a plank of wood where you have weights at certain distances. The center of mass is where you can place the wood and weights and it'll have equilibrium balance
like this
@green onyx Has your question been resolved?
So in your case your center of mass would look like this:
right
not quite
oh wait
it's close to 3kg but it's a decimal value
nah no conversion needed. It says the distance is in meters already
so then if not 3
what would i put
like not asking for answer
but
how to find the decimal value
Follow this formula here. Here M = 2 + 5 + 3, m1x1 = (2)(1), m2x2 = (3)(3), m3x3 = (5)(4)
hmm
im not sure i understand the formula
sorry im a beginner to this
i understand m = 2 + 5 +3
does that mean 10 is multipled by 1 x1
do you know what a weighted average is?
faintly
this is basically a weighted average.
in fact, it's not basically a weighted average, it is a weighted average
yeah no problem
basically what it means is that you take the sum of each point and each point is multiplied by it's respective distance
then you divide by the total mass
hmmm
Closed due to timeout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
✅
hate when it does that lol
Agreed.
How do i solve for multiplying its "respesctive distance?"
so m1 * x1 = (2)(1) = 2
LIke this 🙂
it's just each individual mass multiplied by it's distance, then summed all up
hmm
so m2 would be
m2 * x2
would it equal 1
oh duh
its multiply
not divide
OHHHHH
I actually got 20 in my notes earleir so i did it right
ugh hold on
lol thanks, just practice though! 🙂
Thanks, that's what this is
I failed 9th grade math
So this is my remedial summer school practice
That I'm getting a headstart on
So that I can reattempt 9th grade
hey you're good my dude
I went back to college at 25 and started back at college algebra
and I gradauted with a math degree 🙂
totally possible to catch up
Wow
I hope
I am much better at language arts and reading.
Math has always been my downfall, but, that is why I am trynig to try more.
Congrats btw
may i ask of your assistance for more
yeah absolutely! If anything math will help you problem solve, and that's worth its weight in gold. You don't have to love math but getting some practice in it will do wonders for everyday life skills
and thank you!
yeah go ahead
most problems I think I know the answer already, but just want a pair of second eyes
yes
So I'm thinking this would be -v
Since its at the bottom
of the rotating disk
oh this is my achilles heel lol. I'm terrible at physics
but what you say makes sense to me
I went into CS instead 😛
Yes i'm specifically practicing physics
becuase that was the weakest
of all my math last year
physics and algebra was my weakest
But I think it has to do with the direction of rotation
It seems to be rotating counterclockwise
i mean
clockwise
yep!
so your intuition seems correct
So for this one
mm
I believe it would be V
because im thinking its linear
velocity
and it would stay same on edge
💟 .
yeah that sounds correct too
it's not rtational, just translational
like sitting in a car
Yeah
part of Newton's law "an object in motion stays in motion" and the difference of the force is just the mass
Exactly
This one im confused
i set up 0.35 m/s over 0.15 m
and as a result 7/3
but is that it
i feel like there is another step
idk if is hould convert to deicmal or not
given the units of the answer that makes sense.
hmm not sure. the decimal for that would be 2.3333333... so 7/3 is more precise
alright

How can I verify that the following series diverges? $$\frac{\log 3}{3}+2\frac{\log 4}{4}+\frac{\log 5}{5}+\frac{\log 7}{7}+2\frac{\log 8}{8}\ldots.$$ It is the real part of $$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{\log n}{n}+i^n\frac{\log n}{n}.$$
Philip
Or converges, I'm not sure.
use the fact that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n}$ diverges
tobi
yes, but how can I rewrite the series above in terms of a sum?
also known as the harmonic series
brother
y=mx+b
make the denominator the same
times them
and find the infinite range
$\frac{\log 3}{3}+2\frac{\log 4}{4}+\frac{\log 5}{5}+\frac{\log 7}{7}+2\frac{\log 8}{8}\ldots > \sum_{n=3}^\infty \frac{\log n}{n}$
tobi
no thats wrong
what was the original sum
here
the complex series
this is from Spivak's Calculus, Chapter 27
do you know when a complex series converges?
i wrote you above, you use classical comparisom test
when its real and imaginary parts converge, the series converges, but I'm unsure if the comparison test applies here because certain terms cancel
you were talking only about real part, werent you ?
yes
so real part is deifnitely divergent series, but
if you cope with convergence of complex series, then you shud study behaviour of module
module of the general term
but also we have theorem, that complex series is convergent iff when both parts real and imaginary are convergent
but the harmonic series does converge if you remove all terms with a digit 9 in them, so therefor I'm a little hesitant to apply the comparison test because my series above has certain omissions, e.g. it's missing log6/6 and log10/10 etc.
@odd rivet @lyric summit
harmonic series 1/n is always and ever divergent
mayeb you talk ab anharmonic series?
that is something different, sorry
it is not harmonic
harmic series, we call: Dirichlet series of order p =1
that is so famous divergent series

If the distance between the points (2√3, y) and (4✓3, 1) equals 4, what is the value of y?
Does this question allows two solutions for y? My reasoning:
you mean y?
use the distance formula!
I am still typing the reasoning wait a minute :-:
;-;
?
Pi can you just upload a picture of your work if you really want to show it?
if you're having a hard time, you problem just made an algebraic error
I did it by head that is why I'm typing
please don't do that
the time for that is over
this is Algebra
The equation to find the distance between two points is: ✓((Xb - Xa)² + (Yb - Ya))², that being the case:
Xb = 4√3, Xa = 2√2
Yb = 1, Ya = y, therefore:
✓((4✓3 - 2✓3)² + (y - 1)²) = 4,
✓(12 + 1 - 2y + y²) = 4,
y² - 2y + 13 = 16
So, here we have a quadratic formula
Such equation implies in y² - 2y - 3 = 0
Quadratic formulas usually have two solutions, doesnt it?
Using the quadratic formula we arrive at the solutions: -3 and 1
Oops
3 and -1*
ok so it looks roughly correct at the start
And, if substituting the y in the two points formula by both solutions in quadratic formula, the result will be 4
you can make this problem simpler by noticing that you can begin by squaring both sides
$D^2 = 16 = (4\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3})^2 + (1-y)^2$
Melvin Eugene Punymier
Thank you to correct my error
$16 = (2\sqrt{3})^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1$
Now I've noticed I swaped 1 and y
Melvin Eugene Punymier
$16 = 12 + y^2 - 2y + 1\
16 = y^2 - 2y + 13\
y^2 - 2y -3 = 0$
Melvin Eugene Punymier
hmm
Yes a quadratic formula
you got it from here?
As stated in my solution (despite the mistake, I typed under pressure you know)
Yes
that's ok it's just hard for me to read non-written and non-latex equations so I kind of tune out
quadratic equations has always two solutions for x, doesn't it?
I can't process it so easily
yes. "Fundamental Theorem of Algebra"
I did the quadratic equation, the result is 3 and -1
So, y has indeed two solutions?
There is also a geometric interpretation to know before calculating that there will be two points in the solution. If you draw a circle with a radius of 4 and a center at the second given point, this circle is intersected by the line x = 2sqr(3) in two places.
I wont type the quadratic equation sorry :-:
"every polynomial equation of degree n with complex number coefficients has n roots, or solutions, in the complex numbers."
put another way, "there are n soultions to an n-degree polynomial"
For the moment I have a zero background with plane geometry, I'm just seeing the basic formulas because I have an exam about that in 2 weeks
But I'm also studying plane geometry :-:
it's ok, to find exact values, you do as Melvin showed you
yes, but you can test the solutions if you are unconvinced
I tested for both 3 and -1 and it did alright
there will be certain contexts and certain equations where one solution will not make sense or not actually be defined
cool. @lyric summit was trying to show you that both points are on the circle.
(right?)
The original question was:
If the distance between the points (2√3, y) and (4✓3, 1) equals 4, then y can be:
a) 1
b) 0
c) -1
d) -2
I went to complicate it a bit more because my mind works like that 😭
I don't think you complicated it
you just didn't give multiple choice answers
When I see a question like that, and some Idea comes to my mind, I like to think about the idea
;-; logically I do this when I'm not doing an exam
that's good
Thank you very much for the explanations of you both, you both helped me a lot to clarify my ideas

hello
can anyone help me solve this one
like 0,1,2,3,4?
Yep
Every integer is either 0 1 2 3 4 mod 5
So just find 0^5, 1^5,... mod 5
With some clever trickery you can verify this without even doing any real multiplication
h;ow does that prove a^5== a (mod 5) tho?
sorry i still dont rlly understand 😭
so is it like asking
to prove that all a^5 is equal to a mod 5?
what do the 3 straight bars mean
congruence
When you reduce an integer modulo 5, you have 5 possibilities: 0,1,2,3,4. So it suffices to check only these 5 cases. So just find 0^5, 1^5,... and so on, mod5
that doesn't make sense, mod 5 would only return 0,1,2,3,4 so 5^5 would not equal 5mod5
Yes it does
If you don't understand modular arithmetic, open your own channel
Mod isn't a function
It's an algebraic structure
😭 nvm then i thougt 5 mod 5 is 0
5^5 = 0?
under (mod 5), yes
oh the WHOLE equation is mod 5 ok nvm then lol
can i ask why you do 0^5,1^5…?
Sure
So let's say you take any number.
Divide it by 5.
Then take the remainder.
What numbers can you have as the remainder?
0,1,2,3,4
how does that prove congruence tho?
just to make sure what would you define congruence as
5
So if we prove congruence for every number mod 5, then we have proven the statement for all integers
can you explain congruence? i don’t think i fully get it
If a = b (mod 5), then a and b have the same remainder when you divide them by 5
so if a equals 0-4?
@rose ravine Has your question been resolved?
Try this: every integer can be expressed in the form 5k, 5k+1, 5k+2, 5k+3, or 5k+4. These are the "a"s (ie. remainder 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Next, expand the first "a": a^5 = (5k)^5 = 5^5 k^5 and take mod 5, do you get 0?
Yes. so we know a^5 = a mod 5 in THIS case where the remainder is 0.
Now you just have to prove the other 4 cases!
how do you get 0 though? couldn’t 25k^5 % 5 be any number?
its actually 5^5 * k^5, but either way we know the term out front has a 5 in it, so 5^5 k^5 % 5 = 0
wait duh that makes sense lol
so it’s the same logic just repeated for all the remainders?
yes
I convinced myself that for (5k+1)^5 i really just need to look at the 1^5 since everything else will have a multiple of 5
sorry wdym
consider expanding (5k + 1)^5
(5k + 1)(5k + 1)(5k + 1)(5k + 1)(5k + 1)
the only way youre going to multiply this out without a 5 being in there is doing 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 * 1
any other choice would be like 1 * 1 * 5k * 1 * 5k or 5k * 1 * 1 * 5k * 5k which would multiply by 5
k here is an integer though
so those 5s cant be prevented
so it’s divisible by 5 ?
what's divisible by 5
are you reading the * as a +?
I dont know what you mean by "it"

limits and continuity should be used
just tell me how to do it
take the limit of both sides
and see if both the limit and the value given at the point in question are equal
if they are, they are continuous at a given point
how do i make them equal
can u provide a written/typed solution
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
- write out the limit
- write the value 1/5
- write an = sign between them
whether the equation turns out true or not will tell you if its continuous at x=2
im not asking for a solution for my hw, it's a friend who is struggling and she's doing the thing in advance
we haven't done this in our class yet
i see
my point still stands
maybe get her to try her best at first and send what she has and we can help with where it went wrong
ye u r right
okay, I'll ask her to send a picture and we'll act accordingly

What is primitive function to $f(x)=\frac{2}{(1-3x)^2}$
Merineth
Merineth
do a u-sub u = 1-3x
you can always u-sub u = mx + b without much consequence
once you do that, youll see the rule that you can apply
$2u^{-2}$
Merineth
Like that?
matt07734
remember the steps for u-sub
I don’t remember this at all 😔
its right there on the sheet
you have to do a bit of trickery
and by that I mean "multiply by -3/-3"
I realize now you likely dont call this process u-sub if the name of the process is right there on the sheet
you can go through this process by multiplying by -3/-3
the -3 in the numerator will act as g'(x)
the 1/-3 can be moved out of the integral
But which is my g(x) and which is my g’(x)?
Sorry..
what you get will look like the thing on the right, where u(x) = 1 - 3x
u(x) and g(x) are the same thing
we call it u-sub because we do this with u and with leibniz notation in the America(™)
for you, f(x) = 2x^-2 and g(x) = 1 - 3x
then g'(x) would just be a -3
multiply by -3/-3
the -3 in the numerator will act as g'(x)
the 1/-3 can be moved out of the integral
what you get is:
,,\int2(1-3x)^{-2}\dd{x}\
\int\frac{-3}{-3}2(1-3x)^{-2}\dd{x}\
\frac1{-3}\int2(1-3x)^{-2}(-3)\dd{x}\
t=1-3x,\dd{t}=(-3)\dd{x}\
\frac1{-3}\int2t^{-2}\dd{t}
matt07734
Sorry but that is too hard to understand
Is this the way it’s solved?
$2\int (u)^{-2} dx \implies 2 \int -(u)^{-1} \implies -\frac{2}{u}\ u=(1-3x), \frac{du}{dx} =-3 \implies du = -3dx$
Merineth
Do I substitute u back now? But with the added -3(1-3x) ?
your notation is wrong. replace dx with du appropriately to integrate u with respect to u.
@verbal steppe Has your question been resolved?
Where do you mean?
yes, that's correct.
That one was easy since du =
dx
Not entirely sure what Im supposed to write at du
Should it say 3du/2
@verbal steppe Has your question been resolved?
This is really hard to grasp
What about something like this?
I just replace dx with what I get from the equation?
you skipped some steps, but yeah you get the idea
Merineth
I didn’t get the right answer but it is close?
So maybe I did something wrong somewhere and they work together
Ooh I cancel out x^2 from du before I find the integral

when i have this peicewise function and need to find out whether this function is continous and differenciable.
Do I need to work with the definition of differenciability?
or can I just take the derivative of each part and plug in 1?
Continuity: Show that $$\lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f(x)=f(1)$$ Differentiability: Show that $$\lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f’(x)=\lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f’(x)=f’(1)$$

idk where to start
What does De Moivre’s theorem state
De Moivre's Theorem states that the power of a complex number in polar form is equal to raising the modulus to the same power and multiplying the argument by the same power. I don't know what this means tho
Do yk what polar form is
z = r cos(theta) + i r sin(theta)
Do yk how to convert to polar form
x=rcos(theta) and y=rsin(theta). Replace x and y with those
Ok suppose you have a complex number z = r(cosθ + isinθ)
This is known as the polar form of a Complex Number where r = |z| which denotes the modulus of the complex number z
The De Moivre's Theorem states:
(r(cosθ+isinθ))^n = r^n(cos(nθ) + isin(nθ))
The proof is from Euler's notation
which is z = re^(iθ)
raise that to the nth power
and you will obtain the relation
can you show me how to use that to solve the problem? It would be helpful to actually see that in action
do yk how to find the argument of a complex number?
no
Consider the argand plane which is the plane plotted between Imaginary part of a complex number and real part of the same
It's like the X-Y plane but Y axis is Im(z) and X axis is Re(z) where z is any complex number
Suppose a complex number z = a+ib
In the Argand Plane, it is located at the coordinates (a,b). Draw a line from the origin joining this point.
Thus a straight line is obtained with slope m = b/a
Hence for any complex number arg(z) = tanθ = Im(z)/Re(z)
For this problem arg(z) = -1
Or, tanθ = -1
i see
Hence θ = -π/4
Or, z = sqrt(2)e^(-iπ/4)
now just use de-moivre
And express z^10 in polar form
hm
I'm still having some trouble. Let me make sure I'm doing this correctly. This is what I have right now
I feel like I'm missing a part tho
@weak vortex could you walk me through it? I'm having trouble with it
see this? You can apply DMT here
This converts to cos(-10*π/4) + isin(-10π/4)
where does the sqrt2 come from?
so the steps are: find the modulus(in this case sqrt2 because sqrt(a^2+b^2)), then raise that modulus by whatever exponent. Then get theta. Once you have theta just put it in polar form. The image above is the part I'm stuck on. How do I solve that?
You find the modulus first, then the arguement or θ . Then write it in polar form or, z = r(cos θ + isin θ )
Then raise it by the exponent in the problem
yes
yes, the image I just sent is the part I'm stuck on. How do I solve from here?
yk cos(-θ) = cosθ (since it is an even function)
and sin(-θ) = -sinθ (since odd)
then use trigonometry
sorry but can you please walk me through solving it? I'm not getting it
like, show me the steps of it being solved please
so [sqrt(2)]^10 is what?
2^5
that is 32
ok, what about the other part of the equation? That's the part I'm having trouble with. how do I apply the exponent to the cos and sin
That is where De-Moivre's Theorem comes to play
Use the definition
This one
there won't be pi/2
But -5pi/2
which is still easy to deal with
As its just 2pi+pi/2
yeah thats what I meant. -pi/2 = -5pi/2 for this on the unit circle. I was just simplifying it because it made more sense to me that way
I see
so would the final answer be -32i?
Yes

a and b are vectors
this looks better
I don’t fully remember, but i thought it was actually ka dot b?
i dont htink so
don’t take my word for it though, I may be wrong
okay yeah lol
you mean scalars?
if you mean “are scalars the same as vectors” the answer would be no
scalars are described by (or just are) single numbers
vectors need to be described by many numbers, and in this case, have a magnitude and direction

How do I find the expected value of a random variable with a piecewise pmf? can the expected values of the seperate cases simply be summed?
or is it the product, because the cases are mutually exclusive?
weighted average of the cases probably
well what if the weight of one of the cases is 0
i know that the variable is supposed to be zero-inflated, but because the weight of the P(X=0) case is 0, it doesn't contribute to the total at all

Can someone remind me why
$\frac{d}{dx} \int_1^x csc^2tdt = csc^2x$
🌸 Katsune
When there is a d/dx * int, does that just mean the derivative cancels the integral?
fundamental theorem of calculus
more practical?
,,
\dv x\int_a^x \m ft \dd t = \bm[\bigg]{\dv x}{\m F x - \m Fa} = \bm[\big]{\dv x}{\m F x} = \m fx
it's by definition that the derivative is the inverse of the integral then
Okay so it just cancels it out then
What is the significance of the limits of integration then for something like this
Why is it int_1^x but the end is just csc^2(x)
What happened to the 1?
well F(1) is a constant yes?
yes
its just some constant whatever it may be
It's like a cancelation but it also removes the constants then
so what if it was like d/dx int_1^x csc^2tdt + 1

if this is trailing off from something
u should really just review up the fundamental theorem of calculus tho. It's the reason we have a unified calculus even
Ohhh.... okay... ig. I'm really just looking for a simplistic explanation for what solution is when I see d/dx * int(f(x))
just f(x)
also don't say f(x) you should be saying f(t)

2 and 6 result in 1/0 and -1/0, hence creating a vert. asy. there

if we have lim x-> t f(x) = b, lim x-> t g(x) = c, where c>b and f is continous strictly decreasing while g is continuous strictly increasing then how do we justify that f(x)=g(x) at some point in (b,c)?
or is this necessarily true
i think its intuitive and can be proven using an indirect application of IVT(?)
id say you have the right idea
would we have to introduce something like epsilon?
I think IVT is sufficient, just need a tiny bit of cleverness
do we consider an interval like [b, infity)
x interval or y interval?
y interval
and then consider (-infinity,c]
and then use IVT on this then use IVT again on (b,c)
Okay, you have $f :\bR\to\bR$ is continuous and strictly decreasing, $g :\bR\to\bR$ is continuous and strictly increasing, $\lim_{x\to t}f(x)=b$, $\lim_{x\to t} g(x)=c$, $c>b$, and you want to show that there is some $x\in(b, c)$ such that $f(x)=g(x)$?
SWR
Do I have that all correct?
yeah
Correction: $y\in(b, c)$ such that $f(x)=g(x)=y$
SWR
yes
If $f,g$ are continuous, why bother with the limits? Why not just say $f(t)=b$ and $g(t)=c$?
SWR
oh wait i think its not continuous over R
one second
im trying to apply the concept from a totally different problem so the phrasing needs to be careful
so x is continous over (a,t)
does that even make sense
