no way around it and no excuse to omit them except when the thing wrapped in them is a single number or term.

hollow hedge
#

[brackets?]

tired walrus
#

(brackets)

hollow hedge
#

uh

#

okay

tired walrus
#

(parentheses), if you want to be formal precise and technical

#

doesnt fucking matter you can use {these} for all i care

#

anyway

#

i think i've seen you come here with a question of exactly this type

#

vertical asymptotes happen when the denom is zero

#

so when is x(x-1) = 0?

hollow hedge
#

yea tahts what i dont undestand

#

to get the VA you have to equal the denom to 0

tired walrus
#

earlier you said you "don't need the logic" and "just want the procedure to get from problem to answer".

#

i am confused. do you want to know the why behind it all, or not?

#

make up your mind once and for all.

hollow hedge
#

why are you lowkey so passive aggressive😭

#

its a tutoring server chill out

tired walrus
#

i am not being passive-aggressive at all.

hollow hedge
#

lmaoo okay wtv

tired walrus
#

if you don't give a shit about the why, then why this?

#

those are not the words of somebody who gives no shits about the why.

hollow hedge
#

i do not care about the why i just need to be able to solve the equations

#

math theory is a waste of my time personally

tired walrus
#

if you truly didn't give a shit about the why, you would just accept "find VAs => simplify then find zeros of denom" as a given

hollow hedge
#

i shouldnt have to argue with my tutor

#

go somewhere else pls

tired walrus
#

we are not tutors

iron dagger
#

you will not be able to reliably solve any of these problems if all you care about is the procedure that may or may not be filled with gaps in logic or explanations

Helpers are just people volunteering their time to help you. Be polite and patient.

hollow hedge
#

go away politely

tired walrus
#

ok off i go then

hollow hedge
#

thank you

muted glacier
#

I think this conversation will take longer than just 11 minutes of a video, that was made for this purpose

iron dagger
hollow hedge
#

holy fuck

#

im just asking where 0 is applicable like hop off

#

if you think im dumb and you dont want to help then dont say anything

#

this shit is so toxic

#

why are you even typing rn

iron dagger
#

I gave you the explanation right here

#

you're getting heated at somebody that's been trying to help you for 2 hours

#

and no I don't think you're stupid

#

because I used to be almost exactly like you and only wanted to know how to do a problem and not why it works dawg

hollow hedge
#

nah your right i wasted 2 hours with people who just cant help me unfortunately

#

would have been more effective to watch the video 4 times

#

not saying its your fault just saying this doesnt work for me apparently

#

i suggest a break before trying the problem again

hollow hedge
#

nah the problem is easy asf im just confused as to why sometimes 0 is an answer and sometimes its not

#

the video will answer

opaque ember
#

its not easy if youre struggling with it

hollow hedge
#

ive done way harder math than this

#

in comparison its easy

#

its just confusing bc everyone here wants to give 20 minute explanations for what should be 2 sentences

#

but again thats not on them this is just not the answers im looking for

#

i took stats and ts was SA

opaque ember
#

you want easy short answers but many times it blocks understanding so you get confused by similar problems

I have an algebra question

I am trying to work out the 3-term shanks transformation.

#

jan Niku

#

I have the solution, but to be honest I'm not sure I could solve this on my own. How do we go about eliminating the dependence on a and q?

mint orbit
#

I tried back-substitution or experimenting with some of these products but its not really clear what is supposed to happen, or what process gave this answer

faint edge
#

If you sub that in to any of your given equations I don't see how you'd be able to work your way to a true equality in order to verify it is a solution.

#

Are you sure there isn't more info on what a and q are?

mint orbit
#

The idea is that some sum $\sum ^n a_j =: A_n$ has some transient component described by $aq^n$

soft zealotBOT
#

jan Niku

mint orbit
#

which vanishes in the limit to infinity along n

#

if its important

#

but i dont think it is for the algebra

#

which is what i dont understand thonk

gleaming niche
soft zealotBOT
#

Bob the Builder

mint orbit
#

how does that help for obtaining the given solution for A?

#

or does it give us access to partial sums

gleaming niche
#

It gets rid of the dependence of a and q

faint edge
#

Are they doing that geometric sum trick?

#

Where you sum all of the equations and do geometric sum memes?

mint orbit
#

yea but its not a solution in terms of A

mint orbit
#

i checked wikipedia

#

but they cite the page in my book

mint orbit
#

but we want to solve for A

#

ito not a or q

#

i guess

#

maybe im missing your point

gleaming niche
#

This does give A in terms of A_j

#

Which is what u want right?

mint orbit
#

i dont understand

#

we want A in terms of $A_{n+1}$, and $A_n$, and $A_{n-1}$ only

soft zealotBOT
#

jan Niku

gleaming niche
#

yeah thats what i mean by A_j

#

ig

mint orbit
gleaming niche
#

my point is that a geometric sequence is only defined by the fact that the quotient btwn consecutive terms is constant

#

so $\frac{A_{n+1}-A}{A_n-A} = \frac{A_{n}-A}{A_{n-1}-A}$

soft zealotBOT
#

Bob the Builder

gleaming niche
#

dunno if that gets the solution u want in the end tho

#

but i think it might

mint orbit
#

oh, interesting

faint edge
#

So, you'd solve for A from this?

bleak granite
#

,w (a-x)/(b-x)=(b-x)/(c-x), solve for x

mint orbit
#

huh

#

@gleaming niche thats fascinating

#

i didnt even think to use the fact that the transient part was geometric

faint edge
#

Huh wolfram formula looks pretty close.

mint orbit
#

everyone here is so much more clever than me bearlain

#

its the formula

#

for sure

#

thats really cool happy

#

new trick in the toolbelt

thank you all happy

$ABC$ is a triangle on a plane, with $G$ being its centeroid, if $M$ is a random point on the plane prove that $AM^2+BM^2+CM^2=AG^2+BG^2+CG^2+3MG^2$

soft zealotBOT
#

skissue.in.a.teacup

jagged flare
#

i tried cos rule on AGM, BGM, CGM

#

that gets $AG\cdot MG\cos(AGM)+BG\cdot MG\cos(BGM)+CG\cdot MG\cos(CGM)=0$

soft zealotBOT
#

skissue.in.a.teacup

cyan kayak
#

Let A, B, C, G, M be vectors. |AG|^2 = |(A-G)|^2 and so on. G = (A+B+C)/3

You can probably do something with this?

jagged flare
#

vectors blobcry

#

maybe you can set one of em to be the origin so its cleaner?

#

M maybe or G?

#

lets try G

#

$|a-m|^2+|b-m|^2+|c-m|^2=|a|^2+|b|^2+|c|^2+3|m|^2$

#

how do you deal with squares of magnitudes

soft zealotBOT
#

skissue.in.a.teacup

jagged flare
#

|a-m|^2=|a|^2+|m|^2-2|a||m|

#

is this a thing

@jagged flare Has your question been resolved?

severe verge
#

@jagged flare any problems you're having here?

jagged flare
#

dunno how to continue

severe verge
#

you're on the right track

jagged flare
severe verge
#

do the same for the other two

jagged flare
#

wdym other two

severe verge
#

since you pick G as the origin, a + b + c = 0

jagged flare
severe verge
#

G is the centroid

jagged flare
#

i dont get it

#

is it a theorem?

severe verge
#

yes

#

G is the centroid if and only if GA + GB + GC = 0

#

@jagged flare do you want me to prove it?

jagged flare
#

ill just find a proof online

severe verge
#

it's quite an easy proof

jagged flare
#

ok sure

severe verge
#

let M be the midpoint of AB

#

from the parallelogram rule we have GA + GB = 2GM

#

but since |GC| = 2|GM| and GM and GC are in opposite directions, 2GM + GC = 0

#

hence, GA + GB + GC = 0

jagged flare
#

oh i was thinkung about that but didnt think it will actually work

#

uhh what do you do with that

severe verge
jagged flare
#

i thought like (a+b+c)-2(ab+ac+bc) but this uses magnitude

severe verge
jagged flare
soft zealotBOT
#

skissue.in.a.teacup

severe verge
#

yes

#

and since we know a + b + c = 0...

jagged flare
#

wait

#

isnt mgnituse always positive

severe verge
#

wait you're using magnitude?

jagged flare
#

how can adding 3 of them be 0 unless all three are 0 (which implies degenerate triangle)

severe verge
#

it's wrong then

jagged flare
severe verge
#

you don't use magnitude in this case

jagged flare
#

directional magnitude update when

severe verge
#

what you want to use is vec(AM) = vec(GM) - vec(GA)

#

since you pick G to be the origin then we write vector AM shortly as m - a

#

and also |AM|^2 = (vec(AM))^2

#

so |m-a|^2 and (m-a)^2 are the same thing

jagged flare
#

oh so you can just drop em?

severe verge
#

for squares then yes

#

just drop them

jagged flare
#

|vector|^2 is a number but vector^2 is another vector is it not?

#

oh is it some dot product stuff

severe verge
#

Dot product

jagged flare
#

i see

#

so $am+bm+cm=(a+b+c)m=0$

soft zealotBOT
#

skissue.in.a.teacup

severe verge
#

you can think of it as multiplying 2 vectors with same length and angle between them being 0

jagged flare
#

i see

#

alright thanks!

timber plume
#

just had a question

final saddleBOT
timber plume
#

does it always have to be sinC

dusty quarry
#

no

timber plume
#

can it be sinA or sinB, given that they are between two sides

dusty quarry
#

half times two sides, then the angle in between those two sides

timber plume
#

ok thanks

#

.close

final saddleBOT
#
Channel closed

Closed by @timber plume

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.

lofty sinew
#

It would have to be c*sinA

#

And sinB would require finding a different height h

timber plume
#

.reopen

#

wdym?

final saddleBOT
#

dusty quarry
#

look at how h is formed

lofty sinew
#

Or... sorry that latter part wasn't quite right

#

The (a*sinC) in the equation comes from h=(a*sinC)

#

So you could replace it with h=(c*sinA)

#

But to use sinB you would have to pick a different base value

dusty quarry
#

in other words, you'll need a different height

lofty sinew
#

The three valid combinations are
b*a*sinC, b*c*sinA and *a*c*sinB

#

Basically, sin of the angle times the lengths of the two neighbouring sides

timber plume
lofty sinew
#

The "h" in the equation would be the height, and the line it's perpendicular to (90 degree angle) is the base, side "b"

dusty quarry
#

these two lines can be heights too

#

sorry, bad drawing

tired walrus
#

a better way to remember the formula which doesn't rely on specific letters is:

you involve two sides and the angle between them

tired walrus
#

this way you don't have to tie yourself to specific letters anywhere

timber plume
#

but essentially they follow the same concept

#

the perpendicular height

timber plume
tired walrus
#

"perpendicular height" is a bit of a pleonasm

timber plume
#

one dude was saying it cant be perpendicular if its in an incline

tired walrus
#

and no, seia's diagram is not to scale, but she did mark these things as perpendicular

#

like you see those little boxes at the ends

#

those boxes are how you mark a right angle in a diagram

timber plume
#

yea ik that

#

here is what im talking about

tired walrus
#

this looks like it's from a completely unrelated context thonk

timber plume
#

how so?

tired walrus
#

well you're talking about an object on an incline

#

rather than a geometric diagram with lines making angles of 90° or not

#

AND trollstar even said "doesn't have to be" but you misread that as "can't"

#

which there's a big difference between these too...

#

one dude was saying it cant be perpendicular if its in an incline
this is gross misremembrance

#

or rather it's an extreme over-generalization that only leads to confusion on your part

timber plume
#

the height from the apex

dusty quarry
#

yes. otherwise your sines won't work

dusty quarry
timber plume
#

yup ok

dusty quarry
#

anything else?

#

Im having difficulties with this question it reads, angle A is 90°, ADEF is a square, AB=6 and AC=10, what's the length of AD?

still ruin
#

I LITERALLY don't know where to start

#

I mean is this question even possible with pre highschool knowledge or is it just flat out impossible.

#

similar triangles

#

It's a fucking anomaly

?

#

they are not conguent

dusty quarry
#

,rccw

soft zealotBOT
still ruin
#

DE=EF?

severe verge
#

yes

still ruin
#

when 2 triangles are similar and one of each their lengths are the same that means they are congruent am i wrong?

severe verge
#

but in those two similar triangles DE does NOT correspond to EF

still ruin
severe verge
#

yes DE corresponds to FC

#

but

#

correspond in the context of similar triangles

still ruin
#

But wha bruh🥀

still ruin
severe verge
#

correct

still ruin
#

DE is still equal to EF btw

severe verge
#

so?

#

DE is in the numerator while EF is in the denominator

#

you can not say FC = BD from there

still ruin
#

Ok it makes DE²

still ruin
#

Bru🥀

#

DE=AB btw so BA=AD🥀🥀🥀🥀

still ruin
severe verge
#

set up an equation

#

let AD = x

still ruin
#

ok

#

x=AD?

#

We already what BA is

severe verge
#

what is BD and CF?

covert tree
still ruin
severe verge
#

yes

still ruin
#

dude we already know BA=AD
And we KNOW what BA is and it's 6🥀

severe verge
#

so 6-x

#

???

#

how is BA = AD?

still ruin
#

Literally the last image we just saw

covert tree
#

its cant be equal

severe verge
still ruin
#

My ass is somehow autistic to day bruh🥀

#

Alr i got it

#

Also how do you fight against the fact that BDE and EFC is congruent
I mean they're similar and they one side with same length?

#

Idk ts is fucking with me

still ruin
severe verge
#

here triangle BHA and BAC are similar

#

and they share the side BA

but they are NOT congruent

What was ur hyp

dapper hull
#

sqrt(p^2+q^2)

nocturne lagoon
#

Wanna know how I got 1

dapper hull
nocturne lagoon
#

Well

#

Since tanA is sinA over cosA

#

SinA equals p and cosA equals q

dapper hull
#

sinA might be kp and cosA=kq

nocturne lagoon
#

But there is no k

#

In this case

dapper hull
nocturne lagoon
#

So how'd u get the answer

dapper hull
# nocturne lagoon So how'd u get the answer

same idea just now i know the hypotenuse is sqrt(p^2+q^2) i'd write it as R for simplicity
sinA=p/R and cosA=q/R and then things would work out after adding the fractions and some factoring

nocturne lagoon
#

Wouldn't u get to P(q^2 + p^2)

dapper hull
nocturne lagoon
#

But how can u just divide

dapper hull
#

$q({\frac{p}{R})(\frac{q}{R}})+p(\frac{p}{R})^2$

$\frac{pq^2+p^3}{R}$

O ic

dapper hull

Same idea for the other question

Alr thanks

Btw @nocturne lagoon
The reason p^2+q^2=1 happens to work it’s because it simplifies in both questions leaving you with just the other expression

Q24 I'm not sure what to do

final saddleBOT
tired walrus
#

do you know any trig identities?

#

such as angle sum, or maybe double-angle...

nocturne lagoon
#

Ye

tired walrus
#

ok, can you state all the double-angle identities you know

nocturne lagoon
#

Sin2A=2sinAcosA

#

Cos2A=Cos^2(A)-Sin^2(A)

#

Tan2A=(2TanA)/(1-tan^2A) tan(A) cannot equal to + or - 1

tired walrus
#

missing brackets on that one...

#

also lots of missing brackets around trig functions but that one's more of a whatever

#

anyway

#

have you seen this one? $\cos(2A) = 1 - 2\sin^2(A)$

soft zealotBOT
nocturne lagoon
#

Ye

tired walrus
#

ok

#

do you see what to do now?

nocturne lagoon
#

O

#

I did 1-sinA

#

Oops

#

For cosa

tired walrus
#

???

nocturne lagoon
#

I did Cos(A)=1-Sin(A) idk what I was thinking

tired walrus
#

yeah me neither

#

that's blatantly false

nocturne lagoon
#

I think I was thinking complementary but don’t know where the 1 came from

#

Thanks for helping sometimes I can’t spot where to use some identities

Also you are trying to make
B= some expression in A

#

Good idea to make it more simpler

dapper hull

What'd you got ?

Write it in terms of B and A cuz it’ll take some time to write

nocturne lagoon
#

Ok

#

Thanks again

dapper hull
#

Looks right

#

Just remember to make your B back to tanx

#

O ye

#

What’s a horizontal plane

dapper hull
#

The x axis
left to right

#

So how do u plot angles?

#

It’s q26 btw

,,\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2+x^2 y^2}+xy\frac{dy}{dx}=0

soft zealotBOT
solar crest
tranquil pine
#

I sent the xy dy/dx to rhs then squared on both sides

#

On factoring lhs, we get (1+x^2)(1+y^2)

#

,,\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2+x^2 y^2}=-xy\frac{dy}{dx}

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

,,1+x^2+y^2+x^2 y^2=(xy\frac{dy}{dx})^2

soft zealotBOT
scarlet sequoia
scarlet sequoia
#

as suggested, try to factor what's inside the square root

#

and it will inspire you a function sub

tranquil pine
#

Oh whats that

scarlet sequoia
#

you just sub something like u = .... in terms of y (possibly x)

tranquil pine
#

,,\sqrt{(1+x^2)(y^2+1)}=-xy\frac{dy}{dx}

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

What now

scarlet sequoia
#

yes

#

so now we can technically distribute the square root

#

$\sqrt{1+x^2}\sqrt{y^2+1}=-xy\frac{dy}{dx}$

soft zealotBOT
#

Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII

scarlet sequoia
#

this is just to make the substitution more obvious

tranquil pine
#

Oh

scarlet sequoia
#

make a new function out of y, that will be more interesting to focus on

tranquil pine
#

Like y2+1=v?

scarlet sequoia
#

you're very close

#

but then we'll have some sqrt(v) involved

tranquil pine
#

Then diff v then get dy/dx?

stone kettle
#

i think collect dx and x terms and y and dy terms then integrate

scarlet sequoia
#

and we would like to make the equation as easy as possible

scarlet sequoia
#

some f(y)dy = g(x)dx

tranquil pine
stone kettle
#

root(1+x^2)/x dx= - y/root(1+y^2) dy

tranquil pine
#

Idk even if mines right

#

,,\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x},dx= \frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2+1}}, dy

stone kettle
#

whats ur

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

I got smth like this

stone kettle
#

yep thats it

#

but negative sign

stone kettle
tranquil pine
stone kettle
#

noo

#

root alr there

scarlet sequoia
stone kettle
#

^

scarlet sequoia
#

we kept the sqrts

tranquil pine
#

But i got back the roots

scarlet sequoia
tranquil pine
#

How😭

scarlet sequoia
#

you went from a = -b to a^2 = b^2 to a = b

tranquil pine
#

Wanna listen to how i approached this?

scarlet sequoia
#

do you get what I'm saying

stone kettle
#

yes

tranquil pine
stone kettle
#

u wrote "root of something = negative" - complex ????

scarlet sequoia
#

when you sqrt, you have to consider that there are TWO possible stuff

stone kettle
#

so thats actually wrong

tranquil pine
#

Oh

stone kettle
scarlet sequoia
#

so get rid of the "squaring then taking the root", which just adds possibly unwanted solutions

#

and just stick with the original roots

tranquil pine
#

,,\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x},dx=- \frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2+1}}, dy

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Ok well on integrating b/s

stone kettle
#

yes

#

now its ez

tranquil pine
#

$LHS=-\frac{1}{2}, \log (y^2+1)$

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Les add c later

stone kettle
#

yeah

tranquil pine
#

I used x= tan theta for x terms

#

On integrating x

scarlet sequoia
tranquil pine
#

,,\sec \theta + \log (\csc \theta - \cot \theta)

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Wrong*

scarlet sequoia
#

what do you get

tranquil pine
#

-y/(y^2+1)

scarlet sequoia
#

so

tranquil pine
#

Oh i forgot root 💀🤡

#

Then LHS $=-\sqrt{y^2+1}$

scarlet sequoia
#

that's better

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Ok now for x

#

I used $x = \tan \theta$

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Can u see the img

#

?

#

K nvm

#

Then on integrating i got

#

,,\sec \theta + \log (\csc \theta - \cot \theta)

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

After subbing $\theta$ in terms of x

soft zealotBOT
scarlet sequoia
#

that seems like a tiresome sub

tranquil pine
#

I asked the server to help

#

Few told to sub x= tan theta

scarlet sequoia
#

yeah, so try sqrt(1+x^2) = u

tranquil pine
#

Oh k

scarlet sequoia
tranquil pine
#

Oh bruh

#

Why am i so dumb 😭🤡

scarlet sequoia
#

udu = xdx

#

and x^2 = u^2-1

tranquil pine
#

RHS =$\frac{(\sqrt{1+x^2})^3}{3}$

soft zealotBOT
scarlet sequoia
#

no?

stone kettle
#

lol

tranquil pine
#

How

scarlet sequoia
#

show me your u sub

stone kettle
#

put x=tan theta

scarlet sequoia
tranquil pine
#

,,u=\sqrt{1+x^2}

soft zealotBOT
stone kettle
scarlet sequoia
#

I'll show mine and then you can show yours

stone kettle
#

i find trig substitution easier

tranquil pine
#

Then $du=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}, dx$

stone kettle
#

for some others it may vary

scarlet sequoia
#

close the frac

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

Ye mb

scarlet sequoia
#

yes that's correct

tranquil pine
#

Then x cancels then u x u = u^2

#

Then on integrating u^2 u get u^3/3

scarlet sequoia
#

xddd

#

x doesn't cancel

tranquil pine
#

Oh

#

Yes, bruh 😭

#

Ok so what now

scarlet sequoia
#

well x doesn't cancel, so what do you get instead

tranquil pine
#

1/x^2 du

scarlet sequoia
#

no

#

u doesn't cancel either

tranquil pine
#

U^2/x^2 du

scarlet sequoia
#

yes

#

now write x^2 in terms of u

tranquil pine
#

I shud go to 1st grade to learn fractions tbh

#

U^2-1

scarlet sequoia
#

alright

tranquil pine
#

Divide u^2/u^2-1

#

Oh i can plus or minus 1

#

I can add*

scarlet sequoia
#

yes

tranquil pine
#

U-1/2 log blah blah 😭

scarlet sequoia
#

we're now at $\int \left(1-\frac{1}{u^2-1}\right),du$

soft zealotBOT
#

Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII

tranquil pine
#

Ye

scarlet sequoia
#

you gotta split fractions first

#

and then you can blah blah

tranquil pine
#

Split what

scarlet sequoia
#

you know

tranquil pine
#

U+a/u-a

scarlet sequoia
#

1/(u^2-1) = A/(u-1) + B/(u+1)

tranquil pine
#

Use direct formula bruh

#

Why use partial fractions

scarlet sequoia
tranquil pine
#

1 min

#

,rccw

soft zealotBOT
scarlet sequoia
#

alright

tranquil pine
#

We have direct formula instead of actually expanding and solving

scarlet sequoia
#

if you've been taught about that formula then yes use it

tranquil pine
#

Ok thanks got the ans

#

Ye got it

scarlet sequoia
#

idk what is the idea behind tan sub

#

but knowing the answer it wouldn't have been pretty

tranquil pine
#

What

#

Ye but

scarlet sequoia

In mathematics, the Riemann series theorem, also called the Riemann rearrangement theorem, named after 19th-century German mathematician Bernhard Riemann, says that if an infinite series of real numbers is conditionally convergent, then its terms can be arranged in a permutation so that the new series converges to an arbitrary real number, and r...

. @dim robin

dim robin
#

need to find the exact value , and where do i get help there are like MANY channels

dim robin
#

oh okay

drowsy epoch
#

You pick the ones, where there is no name, else it's occupied already

dim robin
#

okay

#

how do i solve this

#

i tried to write the first term which is 1/sin(pie/4) . sin (5pie/12)

#

i tried multiplying 2 numerator and denominator

drowsy epoch
#

I was thinking of applying maybe sine addition theorem first

#

,, \sin(a+b) = \sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b)

soft zealotBOT
dim robin
#

i dont think it would work

#

will be tooo much messy

strange coral
#

This is jee advanced 2016

#

Hint:- B-A= pi/6

drowsy epoch

A question from the paper

#

Jee Advanced

#

Of 2016

#

9 years ago

dim robin
#

okay let me search it up

dim robin
#

ya it is applicable for every term till 13th

vital surge
strange coral
#

Multiply and divide by sin(pi/6)

strange coral
dim robin
#

okay so you just multiplied and divided by sin(A-B)

#

so

strange coral
#

Yes

dim robin
# strange coral B-A*

sin(A-B)/ sin A sin B , and does it matter B-A because if we take A first it can come minus but we are also dividing by the same , so minus is gone

#

and everytime it is -pie/6 or pie/6

#

the difference*

strange coral
#

What?

#

Oh

strange coral
#

I was telling you wrt my assumption

dim robin
#

like

#

cot?

#

ya

strange coral
#

Cotangent

#

Yes

dim robin
#

hmm

#

its not in multiplication anymore

strange coral
#

Yes

dim robin
#

so its eaier to sum

strange coral
#

Just solve and use angle minimization

dim robin
#

easier*

strange coral
dim robin
#

oh there is symmetry

#

i tried it on k=1 and k=2

#

i took 2 out

#

and the terms cancelling

strange coral
#

Yes

#

On the right path!

dim robin
#

yup same for k=3

#

feels like its almost solved

dim robin
strange coral
#

All terms would cancel out except

dim robin
#

THE LAST

#

TERM

#

OF 13TH

#

yes

strange coral
#

So,

#

It would be 2(cotpi/4-cot58pi/24)

dim robin
#

i got 2(cot pie/4 - cot 29pie/12)

#

reduce 29pie/12

#

so

strange coral
#

Mb

strange coral
dim robin
#

29pie/12 = 2pie + 5pie/12

dim robin
#

58pie/24 is 29pie/12

strange coral
#

It’s done

#

Just basic simplification

#

Now

dim robin
#

cot 5pie/12 = pie/4 + pie/6 , so use cotangent addition formula

#

im doing it

strange coral
#

It’s done

dim robin
#

ans is 6-2root3

strange coral
#

No

dim robin
#

thanks

dim robin
strange coral
#

Cot 5pi/12 is 2-sqrt(3)

#

Other wise it’s all correct

dim robin
#

ya mb

#

its 2-root3

strange coral
#

It’s a standard submultiple

dim robin
#

I MESSED UP AT FINAL PART 💀

strange coral
#

Check again

dim robin
#

yes 2root3 -2 is 100% ans

strange coral

Yes

#

Correct

#

The number of distinct real roots of x4 - 4x3 + 12x2 + x - 1 = 0 is

old quarry
#

i started by differentiating

#

but i didnt get anything useful

tranquil pine
#

Is this class 11 - 12 standard math?

old quarry
#

12th yes

tranquil pine
#

Oh, I am from class 10 nevermind

ivory vessel
old quarry
versed crater
#

What did differentiating tell you

finite hinge
#

Descartes's rule of signs

old quarry
magic coyote
#

Dyk cubic determinant

versed crater
old quarry
old quarry
finite hinge
old quarry
old quarry
versed crater
#

That tells you where the critical points of the original quartic are

old quarry
versed crater
#

In particular, since the coefficient of x⁴ is positive, the starts at inf and ends at inf (on the -inf and +inf part of the x axis)

old quarry
#

yeah i noticed that

versed crater
#

Okay well, you just wanna find out how many local minimas there are

old quarry
#

yeah

#

how do we do that

#

that +1 is making my life hell

versed crater
#

Well, look at the 2nd derivative and see where the inflection points are

old quarry
#

oh

#

okay one second

versed crater
#

The inflection points give you some more info on where the critical values of the cubic might be

#

Which in turn tells you where the roots of the cubic might be

#

Which in turn tells you if there are local minimas and where they are

versed crater
#

b² - 4ac seems negative

#

No roots

#

No inflection points for the quartic

#

What does that mean

old quarry
#

no points in which concavity changes?

versed crater
#

Yeah so it just goes down and up

#

Only 1 real root to the first derivative

#

If you wanna be fancy you can even try newton’s method

old quarry
versed crater
#

So there’s only 1 local minima and you need to find it

#

Well if there were other critical points

#

Namely more than 1 minima

old quarry
versed crater
#

You’d need to change concavity to do that

#

I’m sure there are tricks for it that I don’t know but you could try newtons method

#

It works pretty well on a set up like this I believe

finite hinge
#

Use graphing tool

#

Demos

versed crater
#

That’s cheating

finite hinge
#

Ik

old quarry
#

if we were allowed to use desmos then why would i even ask the question

finite hinge
#

You can't do rational root theorem and derivative 🤷🏿

finite hinge
#

To see how many roots cuh 💔💔

versed crater
#

You should know newtons method

#

It’s very clever

#

Oh beautiful a yt shorts to teach maths

old quarry
#

😭 i did not understand that

#

"initial guess"?

#

what does this mean

versed crater
#

You guess some number

#

Anything

#

Really, anything you’d like

#

And you iteratively get closer to the answer

old quarry
#

okay lets go with 1

versed crater
#

I’m pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to do this though

stone wagon
versed crater
#

But I’m stuck and I haven’t got another idea

old quarry
versed crater
stone wagon
#

yeah alr

versed crater
#

Which you can find by putting your initial guess into f’

old quarry
#

oh ok

#

and then what do we do

versed crater
#

Then find the x intercept of this tangent line

#

That’s your next guess

#

Then repeat

old quarry
#

huh

#

is this a particular method to find the minima?

versed crater
#

Can you imagine that with some initial guess x = 1 and the given function f(x) you can draw a tangent line at (1, f(1)) with slope f’(1)

old quarry
#

wait

stone wagon
versed crater
old quarry
#

@versed crater f(0) =-1 so we know that the minima will be below the x axis somewhere and graph goes till infinity so from there cant we conclude 2 roots?

#

so we dont have to actually find the minima

old quarry
versed crater
#

But then you’re guessing where on ℝ will f be negative if at all?

#

It’s great if you can immediately guess it but it mightn’t be obvious

old quarry
versed crater
#

But you could argue that looking at the coefficient the minima can’t be that far away from 0

#

But say you try 0 and it doesn’t work

#

What might you try next

#

The newton’s method gives you a way to determine what’s a good next guess

old quarry
#

ohh alr alr got it

#

this is the minima

#

wont it be way too ugly to solve for

versed crater
#

I suppose you can also just use the derivative to tell you where to go

#

The derivative will go from negative to positive

#

So pick a number to start at

#

Then find f’(number)

#

If it’s positive pick a smaller number

#

If it’s negative pick a bigger number

marsh glacier
versed crater
#

If your derivative changes sign you know the minima is somewhere in the middle of your last 2 guesses

versed crater
#

We just need to know if the minima is negative or positive

marsh glacier
versed crater
#

If it’s negative you have 2 real roots

old quarry
versed crater
#

If it’s positive there are no real roots

#

If it’s 0 there is exactly 1 real root

old quarry
#

yeah okay

versed crater
old quarry
versed crater
#

Since you know the general shape is like U shape

marsh glacier
#

u just need to find the local maxima and minima

versed crater
#

New theorems are always simple if you already know them

cubic formula?

versed crater
#

You’re just being ridiculous now

marsh glacier
#

what

#

we were taught

old quarry
#

cubic formula is insane

marsh glacier
versed crater
#

@old quarry despite this probably not being the solution I suppose it works, I’d say ask ur teacher how you were meant to do it and then ping me and tell me as well 😆

marsh glacier
old quarry
marsh glacier
#

and x-b/3a can be used to eliminate the x^2 term

versed crater
#

You might as well just send the fucking quartic formula nuke on this problem

#

Like what

#

I’m pretty sure that’s not the intended solution

marsh glacier
#

pretty sure it doesnt exist

old quarry
#

idk the cubic formula

old quarry
versed crater
versed crater
marsh glacier
#

cubics aint TOO hard

#

like they may be a lil hard

versed crater
#

We have formulas for all polynomials up to but not including quintics

#

So there is a quartic formula

marsh glacier
#

hmm

#

i didnt know that

versed crater
#

Now you do

marsh glacier
#

thx for telling
