the vertical side of triangles drawn inside the circle (parallel to the y-axis) has length sin(theta)
because the radius of the circle is 1, the hypotenuse of the triangle is also 1, and we are guaranteed that the coordinates of points on the circle, which are also the tips of these right triangles, have coordinates (cos(theta), sin(theta))
where theta is the angle swept out by the radius
Alright, I tried my crack at the problem and I got it correct because it was undefined, but I'm still not super clear on why I got that correct.
this at least means that the denominator was equal to 0
oh I'm trying a similar problem based on the same subject.
So these are the coordinates
and then I just work from there
er wait wrong, hold on

Hello, guys! Could any of you please help me this one-sided limit? Most of the examples I saw on class were modular functions and stuff like that, so I'm not sure even where to start
I mean, I know a little bit where to start, but I get stuck in x/x-1
<@&286206848099549185>
can you tell me what will be f(x) here
we are aproaching the limit from?
@real quarry here?
ok, so f = (x + 1 -1)/ x - 1 = x/x-1
if f(x) = x+1
f(1) =?
2
you wrote f(1) as 1

About to ask sth
It says “Prove that set has a limit”
I assume that the limit in question is supposed to be 1 but a4 is bigger than 1??
I checked and the calculations are correct, any idea?
at first I'd have thought that it diverges to infinity
because $\sum_{i=0}^{\inf} (1/i)$ diverges to infinity
TRAMPELTIER
So the limit is infinity?
Maybe not
(I don’t know how some of that terminology is called in English lol)
because the terms are smaller in your series maybe its not diverging
$a_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\frac{1}{n+i})$
TRAMPELTIER
what does that mean 😭
thats meaning summation of the terms 1/(n+i), from i=1 to i=n
sorry but we’re still on elementary calculus + I think some of the notation in my country is different(like we haven’t used the sigma sign)
then maybe we would use that at some point, no idea
yeah I got what you meant
maybe a stupid question but “infinity as a limit”=“no limit”?
yes because infinity is no number
we also say "it diverges to infinity"
$\sum_{i=1}^{n} (\frac{1}{n+i}) \geq \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\frac{1}{n+n})$
ohh I see
TRAMPELTIER
also another question
when they ask you to prove that a set has some number as a limit (for example a growing set), can that be proven with mathematical induction?
like for a growing set, proving with mmi that it’s monotonously growing and that every number in it is smaller than the limit
TRAMPELTIER
But what about an>an+1, for every n?
In the case of a monotonously growing smaller
I mean, it could also converge to another number smaller than a
you'd have to rather prove that for every small $\epsilon$ your $a_n$ eventually satisfies $|a_n - a| \leq \epsilon$
TRAMPELTIER
that is the meaning of convergence. It means that no matter how small a number $\epsilon$ you pick, there should be a point $N$ where all entries in $a_n$ with $n>N$ will be within epsilon of $a$.
TRAMPELTIER
I don't want to disturb , but to show that the sequence converges, it is enough to prove that it is monotone and bounded, this is an existential theorem in terms of the existence of a limit
Yes, but it does not give you the point of the limit
Yeah that’s what I meant
One part of the proof is the monotony, the other the existence of a bound
precisely, and i suggest you to start with monotonicity
Okay I misunderstood and thought you'd wanted to prove also that a specific point is the limit
its ok)
But how can you prove that a limit exists without figuring out exactly what the limit in question is?
btw: the limit si equal to ln 2, but it is other story
Like for example I might see the members of the set, think that it looks like the limit could be 1, for example, and try to prove that
i have computed it 500 time sduirng my lectues, but there are two ways: sandwich thoerem and seocnd way , Riemann sums
wait
What about this:
$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (\frac{1}{n+i}) \geq \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (\frac{1}{n+n}) = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} (\frac{1}{n}) = \infty$
TRAMPELTIER
wait something is wrong I'm doning something stupid cause n is not defined
that shud be written in other way
bu tyou have to start with monotonicty
Why?
And do I do that with mathematical induction?
no math induction here
monotonicty is the first thuign you must dientify in your case,
What other method of proof?
Okay sure
But why can’t I prove said momotonicity by mmi?
th eother method is to find the limit, then you also show convergence, but it is hardder
you need to remind how we show that seqence is increasing or decreasing i writ efist lien fo royu :
Huh?
if this differwence
wil be positive
then yoru seqeuence is increasing
if negative then decreasing ok ?
no math induction here at all
and additioanally, if you show yoru given sequence is increasins then you onyl study boundedness from the top
and if yoru given seq is decreasing then you find bound from the bottom
Oh so expressing the difference with n is enough to tell us if it’s positive or negative?
smart
yes but you shud say: the sign of the received difference gives you monotonicity
so if it holds for all n>N would be enough right
yes
I mean if the sign is positive
But what about the bound part of the proof? What method is there to be used instead of mmi?
as you noticed, the monotonicity helps you from what side you have to search the bound
Yeah
If it increases, we upper bound. if it decreases, we lower bound a_n
exactly 🙂
I'm so smart like joanna
But how can we prove that the number in question is the bound for sure
do you have to finde the number?
you must only find if limit exists or not
For example the set 1/2, 1/4, 1/8… has 0 as a bound, which we can see. But how can we logically prove that for sure?
wait
the set of limits in yoru words, contains zero or 1 element
limit exists
or not
Ohhh
there are no two limits
So to prove that the set is convergent, you just need to find the limit, without having to prove how said limit was found and whether we’re sure that it is the correct one?
i change your words:
- having first proven monotonousity?
the sequence is convergent if its finite limit exists
yess, first monotonicity and next boundedness from the appropriate side
Okayyy
And to prove boundness from appropriate side, you just need to figure out the number by Common Sense?
Like in 1/2, 1/4, 1/8… I can tell that the number is 0 without doing any proofs
look Juno, if you maybe notice but i showed something fwe liens a**ove, soem photo for TRAMPELTIER, and there i shwoed
you can find for any epsilon a number 1/n that is smaller than epsilon
Ohhhh
so if you shwo sequence is increasing, then you get the bootm boudn for free
Nvm I think I mixed up limits and bounds
i thikn so )
Because I wasn’t sure how they were called in english
ok eng is not my native either
Like 1/2 is the bound in this case
hablas espanol
What I meant was that 0 is the limit
And I can tell that it’s the limit without doing proofs
Is that+the monotony proof first enough?
I mean 1/n > 0 thats your bound
0 can be also your bound but it is not the limit
but it is the limit
Don’t they all infinitely decrease and approach 0 but never reach it ?
Thus making 0 the limit
yes
i do not discuss 1/n now, i tlak about yoru main example
$a_{n}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{n+k}$
Joanna Angel
Ignore the main one
I’m asking about the simpler one because it’s easier to understand through it
Juno trust me
So in the simple one the limit is 0?
SEE JUNO
or - 10000 too
joanna knows it
Huh?
So to prove that a set has a limit, we prove monotony, find the direction and then eyeball a number that should be the limit, and the existence of that number leads to the conclusion that the set has a limit?
What I was getting at is that: is eyeballing enough
you need to also bound
In the simple case that’s 1/2?
eyeballing can help you find the bound
So to prove that a set has a limit, we prove monotony, find the direction = to prove that a sequence has a limit, we prove monotonicity and boundednss from appropriate side, but we do not ned to fidn the limit, jsut to know its existence
I mean, in the simple set, isn’t the lower bound 1/2 and the upper infinity?
1/2 is a lower bound. but that only helps us if the series decreases
So me eyeballing that 0 is enough as long as I was first sure of monotony?
sometiems you can "eyebal
but very rare
monotonically decreasing frmo somethiing above 0
Is that enough for elementary calculus?
i m afraid to say,but rather not, unelss you have examples like 1/n
what's mmi
Like for example in the simple example, proving through it that every single member an<0 for every n
And that can be done via mathematical induction?
Method of Mathematical Induction
Idk if it’s often called this in English tho
But if an>0 for all n, that does not tell us much about convergence
Maybe you can prove it with induction
But still also you need to prove monotonicity
Maybe you can also prove that with induction
You can try
usually many way to prove things
to use the principle of mathematical induction you must have some equality or inequality theorem to prove, or some other fact true for natural numbers
Isn’t an<0 an inequality?
look:
that is a nice thign to use MMI
in your way
but if you discuss existence of the limit of the given sequence, you do not need math induciton
the other methods, you can guess the limit and prove it using the definition of the limit of the sequence
for example
lim 1/n = 0
then you can sue the defintion
to rpove it
but in yoru main exampole as yu remind
you have no chance
to predicit
the reesult like
ln 2
the final method is just findign the requyired limit if it is yoru case, then there is a wide range of variours methods to obtain such the liimt depends on the character of the given sequence
anywway, once again, your teacher at school wants you to investiagte the monotonicity and boundedness of your main sequence, and if you show those two condtions satisfied, then you write finally that your main sequence is convergent
Convergent = has limit, right?
correct
Okayy
So proving boundedness and monoticity = a limit exists = the set is convergent?
kinda, but in math language also people say "limit at infinity" or "limit at negative infinity" if the series diverges and is not convergent.
you wrote all well , except one word, write sequence, not set
Ohh yeah my bad
and yes, limit must be finite
So this proves that a FINITE limit exists?
Okayy
So in the simple sequence
1/2 is the bound
And we can prove that it’s monotonously growing smaller by subtracting an+1 - an and getting a negative value
Is that so?
yes, and is it possibe for you to shwo it maybe here?
Okay
cool )
I'm cheering for you
looks correct
but it is your main first one sequence?
The more complex one?
Should I test it on it too?
but the main oen shows compelxity )
Do we have to prove boundedness or is saying “[number] is the bound” enough?
if your sequence is so simple liek yours 1/2n, then it is enough to say or formally write in a follwiong way: look :
Like for example in the complex sequence, a1=1/2 and it’s monotonously increasing so that must mean that a1 is the bound?
that is formal definition that your sequence 1/2n is bounded from bottom by the M = 0
Isn’t it bounded by 1/2?
no need to justify it in this case
Like every an>=1/2
yes it is
because
if sequence
is boudned form the bootm
then by th emany numbers
0, -`1, -100
1/2
is the largest one
but 1/2
si the boudn fromt he top
so you can write:
What was the difference between bottom and top bound?
I thought that for example bottom bound only existed in infinitely increasing sequences
0 si bound from the "down" = bottom, and 1/2 from the top
And you only had both top and bottom if it was a closed sequence
Like for example {2;4;6;8} or something
but if we tlak ab the limits then sequence is not finite, we discuss infinite sequences
Okay
But if, for example, we have a monotonously growing infinite sequence
Like 1/2, 1/4, 1/8…
the sequence 1/2n is decreasing so we do not need to know the upper bound, it is enough for convergence to state that we have the lower bound by 0
Wouldn’t the bottom bound be 1/2
Because that’s the number all values are bigger than
Or equal to
your sequence 1/2n is: 1/2, 1./4, 1/6, 1/8 , ....
right ?
so 1/2 bounds from the top
not from the botom agree?
every term of your sequence is equal or less than 1/2
hence 1/2 is the upper bound
but not lower bound
lower boudn is zero
or -1
or -1234556
etc
So “all members are equal or bigger than X”= “X is the top bound”?
OHH
My bad I mixed up the directions
So if all numbers are equal or smaller than 1/2, then 1/2 is top bound?
you should write, : if all terms ( not members) of the given sequence are equal or less than M, then we call M as the bound from the top = upper bound
oh yeah my bad with the terminology lol
it is also important to be undeRstood )
Okayy
So is proving that the sequence is monotonously growing smaller, then find out that there exists a number M(in this case =1/2) which is the upper bound, this means that a limit exists and the sequence is convergent?
you forgot some sentences of mien i wrote 15 minutes ago )) let me write it again
:
if you prove that the given sequence is decreasimg, then you need to find out whether there exists a number m whcih is the lower bound, then you are alllowed to state that the sequence is convergent
ok ?
Okay
decreasing and bounded from the bottom is convergent
or
increasing and boudned from the top is convergent
And proving that it’s monotonously decreasing is through the an+1 - a method, right?
you must memorise it
right
Alright
But wait, in the 1/2n sequence, the bound 1/2 is top but the sequence is decreasing?
it is true, but i wrote to you that you did not need 1/2
you rather need zero from teh bottom
i write it for you
wait 2 minutes
Ohhh
But wasn’t 0 the limit?
Or in this specific case limit=bound?
read those photos
in this simple case, the bound we showed, is the limit too, that happens often, when we cope with such simple sequences,
@thorn harness Has your question been resolved?
Okay sorry for dipping i had to get something done lol
Ohhh
So 1/2n>0 for any n means that 0 is one of the bounds, which means that the sequence is bounded, which plus the monotonous decreasing makes it convergent?
very well )
Okay let me try a harder one
this"
$a_{n}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{n+k}$
Joanna Angel
Okay but there’s a problem where they do ask what the exact lim is
I suppose at this point i can (and they expect me to) eyeball it?
no, you cant take it form black magic hat haha ))
there are precise methods
to find it
Okayyy
For example there’s another problem where an=(n-1)/n
How do i go about finding the limit?
a_n = n / n - 1/n = 1 - 1/n
right ?
Yeah
hence the limit is vwery easy, for you too i think
plug in n-> infinity
precise method is show for a small epsilon that there's an N such that |a_n-a| <epsilon
for all n>N
1/n, goes to zero, you know, , 1 goes to 1, since it is the constant seqeunce, so ?
What do you mean by “goes to”
I do know that n=/=0 because it’s in the denominator
=reaches its limit
1/n ---> 0
means, when n approaches +infinity then 1/n reaches zero
$\lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{n}=0$
Joanna Angel
That makes sense
But this?
cuz for any epsilon, you will find an N such that |1/n - 0| = 1/n is smaller than epsilon
this is true for $n\geq N > 1/epsilon$
TRAMPELTIER
e.g. epsilon = 0.0001, then for all n > 10000, the difference between 1/n and 0 is less then epsilon
thats the formal way of limits
but in school you probably didn't learn this epsilon stuff
btw, Here's a bit thinking
$a_{n}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{n+k} =\sum_{k=n+1}^{2n}\frac{1}{k} = \sum_{k=1}^{2n}\frac{1}{k} - \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{k}$\
$a_{n+1} - a_n = \sum_{k=1}^{2n+2}\frac{1}{k} - \sum_{k=1}^{n+1}\frac{1}{k} - \sum_{k=1}^{2n}\frac{1}{k} + \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{k} =
\frac{1}{2n+2} + \frac{1}{2n+1} - \frac{1}{n+1}$\
and then we need to check if $\frac{1}{2n+2} + \frac{1}{2n+1} < \frac{1}{n+1}$
TRAMPELTIER
so and if it is true that this decreases, then we know that it has a limit because we showed earlier 1/2 is a lower bound
We have mentioned it but honestly i find it a little difficult to grasp
so 1/2 is the boudn from the bottom but we need from the top
yes
that is not hard to find
ehm, isnt it diverging to infinity?
no ))
i said i did it
m500 time sin my life at the uni with my students
that is oen of very nice example
to sjhow
famous example
So the top bound in an increasing sequence is the limit?
ah we can bound by harmonic number
we need to find upper bound = from the top, but not necesairory its limit
But in the problem they’re asking us to find the limit
we jsut need find any uppper bound
i said before it slimit is ln 2
prove
So any upper bound is the limit?
no
no, you shud say, that if sequence is bounded from the top then there are many bounds , upper ones, greater or equatl to supremum, and in this acse
limit wil be supremum
but now i shwoed just oen fo easier upper bounds
Okay it’s kinda late here and I’m tired and starting to get kinda confused, can i ping you again tomorrow to ask you about all that? 😭
so what do you offer for the proof ? 🙂
We have an upper bound and the series is monotonically increasing (no fluctuations) => it can not get any bigger than the upper bound => either upper bound is the limit or some number below that.
Joanna you convinced me your proof is nice
when i was a student i was doing it for free )) smiles )
I always thought about bounding by harmonic sum
but that's not a good boudn
letting the n stay there is a good thing cuz it makes the sum small
Btw Joanna what are your habits of becoming a math genius
I need to adopt your lifestyle
but hows that true
I dont see that
and htat comes form Bernoullis inequality
what ?
do not troll
You're not justifying
i jsut give you a hint
if you want more, coem to mys chool
pay fo rit
and hten i prove it
damn
smiles)
the other hitn is :
that can be also taken from Lagrang;e theorem
though ineng literature it can have other name
i think they call Mean Value Theorem
but we call it Lagrange Theorem in my country
Lagging range ?
yes ofc
i am writing quickly i do parallel thing
huh
and the other cute methosd is:
drum roll
but the first oen is a way more elementary , hence is nicer
it requiers knowledge about concept of definitie integrals and to be eprcise Riemann sums
so i agree, but i glaldy explian it
ok
durign fwe motnhs of lessons every day
what class is that
wilbe indiivudal class for oyu )
indiivdual classes aer the best 🙂 smiles
what 😄
Zoom or Teams or other way, though i prefer classes face to face, but i asusme you do not live in my country so i can teahc you onyl online haha )
take a risk, ))
if you pay me fo rht elesosn then ic an even show you my diploma :))
yes) my degree )
nice, but no prof
but you must be a student of mine
i pass you contact mail box on DM if you like )
ofc i can teach it as well my researchers are about; compelx analysis and partial diffeertnual equations, but hamornic analysis is also in my interestes
but classe ab Forier cost more than about limits liek here )))
:d
i hope you are rich )
parents of yours are, let them cal me
Nah my parents are way too poor
soem students tel it the same and enxt they coem to my hosue on Mercedes
so i do not believe ))
I come to your house with a broken bike and almost die riding it
ok )) there is a palce fo rbikes as well
ok anywya thank sa lto for cute conversaiton ands ee you on lessons with me )) wish you al the best i ned to go offine )
alright thanks joanna for the wisdom

what does this have anything to do with the largest odd divisors
the point is that once you look at a without its odd divisors, then it's just a power of 2.
So if two numbers share the same odd divisors, then they're bound to divide one another (because you always have 2^m|2^n or 2^n|2^m)
cud u explain the second method
well the second method is just trying to pair numbers together to use pigeonhole principle
you have a total of 15 elements
you want to prove 9 is enough
to find 8 pigeonholes, 7 pairs and one standalone element should do the trick
so If I make 8 pigeonholes it automatically means 9 is enough
yes

Im stuck on the last problem on what I need to do, I keep looking and I havent found anything
I tried uusing a line and picked two points for slope to find the answer but it didnt help
<@&286206848099549185>
Sorry, could you give me a clearer image of the question or type it? i dont have my glasses with me
that’s perfect, ill be back with an answer soon
having only some points of the graph does not allow to calculate the instantaneous velocity at a given point. you could only estimate it - with different methods and therefore different results.
you got it right before i did haha
what are some methods? to estimater
you could take the average velocity in [2,4] as estimater. you could fit a (maybe) qudratic funtion to the given points and then calculate it.
omg
the answer was right infront of me
i was overcomplicating it for myselfg
tysm
and the answer was?
ok, so you had to use the average velocity for the instananeous valocity.

need help with these 3 questions
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
1
OK, so the function is called f.
So, you have f(x) = 5/(x - 2).
Does that make sense how I got that from the question?
yes
OK, do you know how to find f(12) from there?
you plug 12 into x
Right, so what do you get for it?
f(12)=5/10
OK, now reduce the fraction.
1/2
no.
OK, so try to find f(2).
No.
so undefined
It's just undefined. If it has a number for it, that means it's defined.
Since it's undefined, it can't have a number for it, so it can't be 0.
Does that make sense?
yes
OK, so why is it undefined?
because theres no number for it
Right, but why is there no number for it?
because 5/0 is undefined
OK, but why?
because anything divided by 0 is nothing
Right, so the answer to part b is that it's undefined because you can't divide by zero.
Does that make sense?
yes
OK, now do you know what a domain is?
no
OK, a domain is all the values that work when you plug them in for x.
Like you plugged in 12, and that gave you 1/2.
So, 12 worked.
But 2 didn't because it was undefined.
So, the domain will have 12 in it, but it won't have 2 in it.
Does that make sense?
so if the number you plug in isnt undefined it can be put in the domain
after reducing it
3
17
OK, yes, 17 would work because f(17) = 1/3.
But there are a lot of numbers to check if you do them one by one.
So, what you want to do is to look at how 5/(x - 2) can be undefined.
We saw that it's undefined for 2, right?
Is there anything else it's undefined for?
no
Why not?
nothing else minus 2 equals 0 besides 2
yes
So, the domain is every real number except 2.
You're welcome.

• On what circumstances am I required to 'flip' the denominator and numerator of the sine law formula?
• to find angle, do I use the sinA/a formula or the a/sinA formula?
• vice versa. To find side, do I use the sinA/a or the a/sinA?
The ratio by itself does little to help you solve anything. You need the rest of the equation
I know, it's just an example of the entire formula. My questions also applied to the rest of the formula (sinB/b and sinC/c)
So
• On what circumstances am I required to 'flip' the denominator and numerator of the sine law formula?
• to find angle, do I use the sinX/x formula or the x/sinX formula?
• vice versa. To find side, do I use the sinX/x or the x/sinX?
At the core, you have $a/b=c/d$. You need to know how to solve for any of the four variables.
SWR
Okay
So in this case, I have to find the angle of A first before doing the side length of c.
So do I use sinX/x or x/sinX?
which order do I have to use to find angle and side?
Correction : turns out I don't have to find c. And I just need to find angle A. My question remains though. Do I use sinX/x or x/sinX?

why is this correct?
yes
ur not expanding x and 4 only
its (x+4)(x+4)
its not just x^2+4^2
u have to multiply 4 by x, and x by 4 as well
distribute across every term
remember
did they ever tell you FOIL
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
first, outer, inner, last
@limber isle Has your question been resolved?

Well it can’t be A because it has roots
And it definitely can’t be C because that’s not how parabolas work
i actually figured that one out lol
now im stuck on this one
bc tbh idk what a perfect square trinomial
is
alrifht
Ohhhh
Uh
No idea actually
What this means
Probably just means perfect square
A trinomial is where there are 3 non zero terms present

but how did we even get this formula
i know that N(x,y) is -dg/dx, -dg/dz, 1
but still i don't understand how we got this

IBP probably
IBP? What is that?
Integration by parts
Alternatively first simplify the expression
,rotate
Why am. I here
in the denominator
wait, not $x^2cos^2(x)$ just $xcos^2(x)$
Why am. I here
I see
You'll then obtain $\int \frac{x}{xcos^2(x)+2}$
Why am. I here
I doubt it, that would be really nasty
Or you know what
it may work
,w differentiate xsec(x)+cos(x)
hmm , so a direct u sub isn't of much use
try x=arccos(y)
ok, ykw, I'm not too sure of how to solve this
sorry
are you sure the problem is right
integral calculator.net says there's no elemenatry solution for this
,w d/dx(tan(x) - xsec(x)/(xsin(x) + cos(x))
It's not the same, is it?
@hollow wolf
, w integrate (x/(xsec(x)+cos(x)))^2

I am trying to understand this better. I think I understand the concepts behind it but I'm unsure as to why we need subsequences to negate the statement
the negation going from there exists to for all N makes sense, and filling the =< epislon to > epsilon makes sense. I know that if for all N there is n>= N such that |x_n - x| > epsilon and then from that all the subsequences of x_n also have |x_n_k - x| > epsilon. my question is. why do we NEED this property to negate x_n -> x. just seems like we have done this without introducing subsequences
is it as simple as just making it easier for further analysis or is there something im missing?
as in the two statements are equal but with subsequences future results are easier to find?
spq_64_t
Im currently trying to understand sequential continuity and epsilon delta continuity definitions being equal and explaining the proof to myself. this part of the proof references the first screenshot i sent. I'm still puzzled for the use of subsequences in the proof. Surely I can just negate the statement, not worry about subsequences and then say " for any delta and any n => 1, i have |x_n - x|< delta BUT |f(x_n)-f(x)| => epsilon which leads to a condradiction?"
also how do you type that format haha

Hello there
I got a question

No!

Because we are missing something?
og?
Yes!
Is that a language thing?
what language is that?
og 🤨
differential calculus
What spoken cultural language is this?
I have no idea what your asking 🤣 haha
do you speak english normally?
no
what does og mean?
what language do you speak?
same
Old gangster !
English translation: $f(x)=34$ and $x_0=-2$
SWR
"og" is Danish for "and"
oh ok
@sleek hornet yes this is solvable.
Do you know the derivative of a constant?
yes
But if you have no x value
or
is x0 the x value
sooo
were looking at
f'(x)= -2?
cus if u take this right?
U do 3x*2=6+4 right?
= 10
so f'(x)=10
welp :3
anyone? :3
@sleek hornet Has your question been resolved?
f' will be 3 at all points differentiation of 3x =3 and 4 is constant so 0.

right
im going through my old hw and i seem to have gotten a different answer
(my handwriting is bad) but my final answer was 2/5ln(|sec(5x^1/2|)
or is this just a situation of i dont remember half the rules of logarithms
and since sec is 1/cos
you can take the ^-1 and put the - outside
?
idk
im just gonna assume its that

can anyone explain why its -1/2cos2x? where does 1/2 come from
u-sub: u = 2x
so then du = 2? but i dont understand the next step
@ember sable Has your question been resolved?
@ember sable Has your question been resolved?
close, du = 2 dx
generally, you solve for dx so you can substitute afterwards
$u = 2x$
$du = 2dx$
$\frac{1}{2}du=dx$
gerald
then substitute dx into the integral

trying to simplify this a bit but
I think im cnofusing myself
I'm letting sqrt(x)=a
but what would sqrt(x^3) be in respect to a?
$(x^{1/2})^3$
$(x^{1/2})^3$
use {}
$\left(x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^3$
AℤØ
so a^3 right?
si
oh okay, was tripping myself out abit because I kept thinking to myself that the cube was inside the sqrt and that would've meant it's not actually ^3 more than a
lol
thanks for clarifying though

Not really sure where to start with this one? Do I use the formula for a parametric curve or one for arc length here?
I am finding it hard to read your writing
Sorry, let me try and type it out then
The first one is integral of a to b of the square root of 1 + dy/dx squared
The second one is the integral of t0 to t1 of the square root of dx/dt squared plus dy/dt
I am not sure what you are trying to do they are asking for volume. For this question we can use cylindrical shells
So 2pi r h dx?
But what would be the integral then?
yeah
r is the x value
h is the y value, which is just the function
Um, I don't see an x value listed here- where would I derive it from? Sorry, I find it hard to see these connections.
r is just the distance between something and something, right?
And would the integral be from -2 to 2?
no you dont need a specific x value
the radius is just x
Becaause it's at y=0, right?
yea
generally the radius is always x
the height is the y value
which in this case is just the function
as it is bounded on the bottom by the x axis
Alright, I'll be sending my work so far in a sec just to double check my steps
gotchu
looks good
Ok, lemme try an difnishit it off
wow
My brainpower has officially been all diverted to math
Alright gimme a sec

yea you should be good
