Hello, I'm trying to perform LU decomposition and i've tried the same matrix twice and yet I can't multiply them to get the original matrix back, you can see the solutions
without even reading it myself yet, it's very likely you just have a random arithmetic error
after reading it, however, I think this is an error
by what you've done to the id matrix, it seems like you're saying the opposite of adding 3 copies of R3 to R2 is subtracting 3 copies of R1 from R2
but R1 has nothing to do with R3; shouldn't the left matrix read (1 0 0; 0 1 -3; 0 0 1) after this operation?
in particular, [\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\-3&1&0\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&-6&2\0&-5&5\2&-4&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&-6&2\-24&13&-1\2&-4&3\end{bmatrix}\neq\begin{bmatrix}8&-6&2\-6&7&-4\2&-4&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\0&1&-3\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&-6&2\0&-5&5\2&-4&3\end{bmatrix}]

i was told that that was the point of lu decomposition, we're supposed to get the negative of the factors used and plug into id matrix. do you have a solution for this though, it would really help
yes you are. but you have to subtract the correct rows
you have to subtract a multiple of row 1
you did row 3
that messes stuff up

yes sirr
Alright, now you can post your question here
and what happens
the channel where you posted was occupied by someone
ohk
SO HOW CAN I MASTER STRAIGHT LINE IN 7 HOURS
SHOULD I GO 1 HOUR THEORY AND THEN ALL QUESTIONS OR JUST THEORY
I'm not sure about your question, are you referring to questions regarding linear function?
No the chapter straight lines
I see
wait your chinees
ohh you must not know then
wdym
uhh, let's focus on your problem
alr my bad bro
hi there
Do you have any specific questions about "lines"?
wow hey
questions will benefit more tbh
not particularly sorry
theory wont give much insight

hmm and where should i do the theory from
Tbf, true for JEE
oh alr
maybe 1shot using pw or smth else
Very few theorms are insightful
???
do they cover all topics
kind of but not. problem solving skills are more imprtant- likr the approach to a problem
Like in LA the ideas in the proofs of theorms teacha. lot
alr got it

this conversation is so cooked
Can I close this?
why
wdym close ?
end it
just pick up a book and start reading
Shut down the channel
that works too
so where can we discuss then
@ebon plume We'd appreciate if you're willing to provide specificed questions either from your textbook or homework.

Can I ask a question about databases here
yes ask plz
It's not really maths tho
In this example, there is a repeating group of attributes relating to certificates. For example, Abdel Patel has gained two certificates. The group of attributes that repeat are: CourseCode, Description, AssessmentDate, Fee, Instructor (now split into InstructorFirstName and InstructorLastName), and Email (now renamed to InstructorEmail).
how are those attributes repeating?
for each record, there is only one of each of those attributes
Say 4 and 5, they both have the same attributes for SO0112.
bruh

how is this in NF1 form then
it also has repeating attributes
but apparently its good
What do you mean by "NF1 form"?
Does each record have a primary key?
yes
Which?
MemberId?
Is the data atomic?
yes
yes
but i just realised it doesnt matter
when you have your first table, you check if there are repeating attributes and split them off into a new table
you don't also check if the new table contains repeats (like i just tried to do)

Huh?
bot broke
the x coordinate of your mean data point is a little off
are you expected to eyeball the line of best fit?
as in eyeball two points that are on it?
or do it properly with least squares
Yes
eyeball or least squares
I think he said eyeball it
scatterplot seems fine
Is the e mean point wrong??
Gang I can’t become a professional engineer of robots 🥀
the x coordinate of your mean data point is a little off
should be this
which rounds to 2.15
with your points, the slope you calculated is fine
then you changed the denominator from 54 to 53?
idk how strict the eyeballing is though because your slope is off by around 1
yes
are you using new points
Yes
what points are you using
(2.15,81.02) and (0,100)
did you round your slope to the nearest tenth or something
Yes
then yes it rounds to -8.8
Was I not supposed to
I mean
I wouldn't
but I also have no context for what's going on in your class
Will it still get similar answers
Okay what the heck
😀 let me try again
you could just not round it
like earlier you left it as a fraction
you can do that
I keep that like that???
why not?
you rounded this to -8.8
so you lose that -0.02790698... of accuracy
if you want to be really picky, you also lose accuracy when rounding 103/48 to 2.15
up to you when you want to draw the line of the lost accuracy being insignificant
So what I have so far is alright 👍
sure

Given a 4-digit square number, knowing that if we add the thousands digit by 3 and subtract the units digit by 3, we get a new square number.
Find that number
-# I'm just validating my solution.
a^2+3000-3=b^2 -> a^2+2997=b^2 for integer solutions a and b where 1000 <||= a^2 <||= 9999 for algebraic representation
Let's call the 4-digit square number N and the new square number M, can you formulate the equation that is described by:
Given N, knowing that if we add the thousands digit by 3 and subtract the units digit by 3, we get M
?
you have a square number 1000a + 100b + 10c + d, and you're told 1000(a+3) + 100b + 10c + (d-3) is also square?
Or, equivalently t^2 = N and s^2 = N + 2997 are both square numbers. Find N.

Do somebody know where can I find a demonstration that Hamilton's quaternions form a non-commutative ring?
algebraically, all you need to do is to find two quaternions that do not commute.
by definition, i, j, and k are imaginary units, so their squares are -1, and i think it's definiton that says ijk = -1.
you could use those facts to deduce that ij is not equal to ji, and there's your example
or were you looking for something possibly visual?
@regal hamlet Has your question been resolved?
I just want to see a formal proof
that depends on what your definition of the quaternions is
to prove it formally, all you have to do is exhibit a counterexample to commutativity. As mentioned above, i and j will work
Yup, ij = k but ji = -k; iirc
to prove it's a ring, you can take the a + bi + cj + dk representation, and run through the ring axioms. i tried to look for a write-up of this, but it seems every single professor on earth has left this as an exercise to the student 💀
you can also show that every quaternion has an inverse and conclude that H is a division ring
i am currently trying to think of more interesting proofs, though
Hahaha yeah, it doesn't seem too difficult, but I wanted to take a look at it because I'm just starting
just starting with rings or with studying quaternions? if you don't mind my asking
both
i see! then it would honestly be a good exercise to just prove every single ring axiom for the quaternions, if you wanted to show it's a ring. here are the explicit definitions for + and * in that case
to prove noncommutativity formally, you just need to show the existence of at least one pair of numbers where ab =/= ba
i unfortunately cannot think of a more concise proof - all the "big" isomorphisms of H, like R^4, really only show that R is a ring, and not much about H

in the markscheme they say to divide the yellow part by t - 1
i dont understand why we have to do that
by factoring out a linear polynomial from a 4th degree polynomial
you get a degree 4 - 1 = 3 polynomial
OHHH
yeah and it turns out tan x = 1 is impossible in the given domain
But how do we know that t-1 is a factor of the 4th degree polynomial
guess and check
so you sub in t = 1 and you get 0
ohhhh i seee trial and error
by the factor theorem, t - 1 is a factor
no worries!

whats the point of generalizing and turning this into a graph theory
it seems much easier to just bound it to <=4 (doesent involve graph theory nor generalizatons) then find a path that works
why <=4?
why not <=9?
what
why <=9?
<=4 FGC cause each trip takes 9 paths, whereas the total number of paths is 9c2=36, so 36/9=4 maximum FGC
sounds like you're using graph theory
not disjoint hamiltonian bs
@jagged flare Has your question been resolved?
@jagged flare Has your question been resolved?
Who has summoned me...
I mean you are still using the same intuition lol
Make it quick, don't waste my time.

But yea they overcomplicated it
I think they just wanted to give a generalization and went with it. Your method works for the specific case
Please stop doing this
*?
Posting irrelevant things in help threads. If you don't know, keep the channel clear for people who do
Let the user decide if they want to tag helpers or not
alrighty then
why are they going to graph theory using disjoint hamilton paths, and why are they generalizing it? as it seems much simpler to just bound the <=4 and find a path that fulfills it
that's the question?
yeah
Like I said, they probably just wanted to give and prove a generalization
What you said works perfectly fine
They use graph theory because it gives a stronger framework. Proving only for ≤4 is a one-time fix. Generalising with Hamilton paths handles all cases at once. Harder up front, but more powerful - solve the big problem, and the small ones fall automatically.

The growth of a virus is determined by the function p(t) , where is time in days. On what day is the growth rate of the virus at its maximum?
Zero idea
So basically p(t) is about growth rate, amI correct?
P(t)' is growth rate
If you're trying to find the local maxima of a function, first of all you should come up with differentiation
How do I even differentiate it
Have you learnt about diff?
Yes I did
Alright, what formulas have you learnt?
This is 1/e^(x) wth
could you send the original
I think they mean p(t) is the number of viruss in day t
If p(t) is the growth rate
then the maximum is just when the dom minimum
and the dom is a monotonic function
@main sparrow Has your question been resolved?
yes
they meant that
growth rate and speed of growth ratge
take differential of function first

how to start to think about this problem
Trial and error on some level I imagine
Is this a coding problem?
Doesn't look like it
hmm
Scaling also works
Right yeah it does
Well we have a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and a + b + c = 1000
So we can solve this to get a line
Note that this takes advantage of the fact the triple is unique
It is like mix of both from https://projecteuler.net/problem=9
A website dedicated to the fascinating world of mathematics and programming
We can turn this into a line
And then we just need to find an integer solution on the line
Apparently there is only 1
,w a² + b² = c² and a + b + c = 1000, all integers
Wolfram Alpha doesn't understand your query!
Perhaps try rephrasing your question?
Click here to refine your query online
Fair enough
Should be ||25 * (8,15,17)||
Whatever that is
Ah
what is scaling
There’s a standard set of triples you should know
Multiply everything it that triple by some integer to get a new triple
scaling pythagorean triplets preserves that property of them being triplets
Ex. (3,4,5) is a triple. Multiplying by 2 gives (6,8,10) also being a triple.
are the rest of triplets always multiples of (3, 4, 5) ?
No
||(5,12,13)||is also triple for example
Actually maybe the coding is useful for the multiplication
Random side thought
Not particularly relevant
oh okay hmm
Unless they want you to use the parameterisation to brute force more efficiently
Take an odd number
Square it
Split it in half and round up and down
You get a triplet
(Note this is not exhaustive. Ex. ||(20,21,29)||.)
(yes I should have mentioned that.)
I mean it wasn’t directly relevant so 
I have a nasty habit sometimes where I give a bare minimum answer that technically answers but omit a lot of other stuff that has educational value
Actually does this sound rude

I have the opposite problem most of the time lol
Also no it doesn't dw

where did i go wrong
i differentiated the general quadratic function
to get 2ax + b
it's at a max at x = 90
so 2a(90) + b = 0
so 180a + b = 0
in ax^2 + bx + c, c = 3 in this case as we can see and read
27 = a(120)^2 + 120b + 3
27 = 14400a + 120b + 3
7200a = 24, because we can sub in b = -180a
a = 24/7200
b = -180a, so b = -3/5
so the equation should be H = 24x^2/7200 - 3x/5 + 3
but it's not
when I plug in 120, it doesn't output 27
if you could explain why its wrong it would be appreciated
how did you get
7200a = 24
you skipped some steps above
can you show the full work
after
27 = 14400a + 120b + 3
27 = 14400a + 120(-180a) + 3
27 = 14400a - 21600a + 3
-7200a = -24
7200a = 24
i see it now, it should be 7200a = -24 right?
yes

Alright
im not sure abt this
i put doesn't account for side to side ball movement
but that's prolly not right
Are you familiar with potential energy?
nah
Then can you imagine yourself throwing a ball that follows the trajectory?
yeah
sure
Can you precisely throw a trajectory, that has no angle factor?
wdym? like if i could throw the same trajectory without calculating what angle to throw at first?
Like it wouldn't go a bit to the left or right.
That's a factor. The trajectory is ideal.
because the angle would have an impact on distance that the ball lands at?
Yes. Diagonal is longer than the side.

@radiant carbon Has your question been resolved?
b. It's given that $$P(X=4)=P(X=2)=0.35$$
Suppose that we want to roll $r$ $4$'s. Then, there are $(60-r)$ of everything else. Using the binomial probability formula yields that this has a probability of $$\binom{60}{r} 0.35^r 0.65^{60-r}.$$ Now, consider what the possible values of $r$ are.
Civil Service Pigeon
You should end up with some kind of ||summation||.
As a check, the sum of the digits to the answer to part b is 22.
c. Honestly, I'd just do casework on each value of $X$. For example, if $X=1$, then $Y=12$ and $Y-X=11$, which is not at most $4$. So, we know $X=1$ is not possible.
Civil Service Pigeon
As a check, when you express your answer to part c as a decimal, the sum of the digits of the answer is 13.
@radiant carbon Has your question been resolved?
yes it was this
but
there was another way of writing it
B(...) = ...
$B(n,p)$ where $n$ is the number of trials and $p$ is the probability of success in each trial?
Civil Service Pigeon
yes
anyways
so r would be 30?
and then we would 1 - Ans?
There are multiple values of $r$ that you have to consider here.
Civil Service Pigeon
X ~ B(60, 0.35)
P(X > 30) = 1 - P(X <= 30)
So what are the values of $r$ you have to consider?
Civil Service Pigeon
aka how do you compute $P(X \leq 30)$?
Civil Service Pigeon
P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + ... + P(X = 30)
good

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

First identify the pattern
(-1)^r/(3r-2)
yes
now give me a sec
ok. first write is in sigma notatation
$F(x) = - \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3n+1}}{3n+1}$
ExpertEsquieESQUIE
so when we plug in -1 we get our series
Now my idea is to differentiate the power series which will remove the 1/(3n+1)
and we get a geomtric series and a close form for F'(x)
and then integrating and getting a closed form for F(x)

may someone please help me with this
Do you recognise f(x)?
@sonic hazel Has your question been resolved?
im kinda a beginner
pls try to confirm if this is correct
13 y/o
just ignore the |x| part and focus on the linear function inside
mx+b, m for slope increase, b for y-intercept
-1 is to move the 2 x-intercepts
i think
wait

they’re all vectors
(i+j) x k
my book says it’s -j + i but i got i x k + j x k
should i give components to each vector in order to simplify further?
Do u know the property of cross product of unit vectors
Yes
Yes but u dont have any use of it here
okay so what do i do
Do u know how it works

how do i find the area and perimeter of this trapezoid
Is that 5, 4, and 8?
yeah
do you know the formula for the area of a trapezoid?
no, my school has issues of hiring math teachers so in the year i was meant to learn it, it didnt really happen
the formula for the area of a trapezoid is (sum of length of parallel sides) * (perpendicular height of trapezoid) * (1/2).
(the perpendicular height is the 4m here.)
can you show it visually please if it isnt too much to ask for
given a trapezoid with these sides, the formula of the area of this trapezoid is $A = \frac{1}{2} (a+b)h$.
Lute
let me see if i can do this and ill show you how it turns out, but I just solve that right?
yes.
thank you
the perimeter is a bit more involved.
what do you mean?
you need to find the length of the other slanted side.
you'll need a few steps to get there.
and before you ask, no, you are not allowed to assume the other slanted side is the same length as the one given if it's not explicitly stated.
(such an assumption is impossible on this trapezoid anyway, for reasons you shall see later.)
Excuse me but may I ask a question about the equation for the area before we move onto perimeter
you may.
would I multiply what i get on the inside of the parenthesis with the 1/2 or h?
with both.
or am i doing this wrong
it's 1/2 times a+b, times h.
Oh i forgot that for a second
thank you it slipped my mind
I got A=2.5+4, do i multiply the 4 with the 4 now
hm? where did the = sign come from?
this?
the left side is a capital A. it means the area, not the side a.
Oh thank you
that capital A is what you want to find. I apologize if it was unclear.
no worries
so do I do it like this then?
1/2=0.5 no? I just kinda viewed it like that then multiplyed it with the 5 and the 8
I see, sure, that would work (a tad bit harder though). but you forgot the multiplication by the height.
its the 4 that i asked about, do i multiply it with the 4 i got or with the 2.5 and the 4
once you've added the 2.5 and the 4 together, you can then multiply the height with the sum.
but first finish the sum.
sorry I dont know how these things are slipping my mind, Im working at this at a late time so I might be a bit tired
consider taking a rest and coming back at it some other time, if you have the luxury to.
so the Area is 26? also unfourtanatly cant, this paper has 60% worth of my grade and its due later today since its technically the next day
correct.
How do I start for the perimeter now?
you have three sides, which is a good thing.
the not-so-good thing is that the last side involves three steps.
let's label some additional lengths on the diagram.
we want to find y, our last missing side, but to do that we would need z, and we can only get z by getting x first.
so let's start by getting x.
how?
what shape do you recognize the right side as?
specifically, the shape with the sides labelled 4, sqrt(20), and x.
the triangle?
correct, but what kind of triangle is that?
okay so funny thing is im actually really really bad with shapes
i'll give you this for free. that shape is a right triangle.
(or a right-angled triangle)
is it because of the 90 degree angle?
I will remember as we go, chances are I do know them I just need a refresher
maybe the name Pythagoras rings familiar?
yes it sound familar
do you recall that law?
Sort of, its better showing me it. I have no doubt I can remember better as we go.
this is Pythagoras in its entirety.
well, better known as the Pythagorean theorem.
yes, but apply the theorem carefully.
consider which sides you have and which side is missing.
Yes ma'am
hint: you will need to rearrange this equation for the side you need.
I would recommend setting up the equation first.
gettin me nervous ma'am
I'm no ma'am, please.
sorry
No worries you are doing well, also quick question when you said rearrange did you meant moving the B squared to where the C is at since thats the missing side or did you mean something else?
you are on the right track in moving one of the two sides to join the c^2, and it could very well be the b^2, but in that case your missing side is then a, not b.
the idea is that we want the missing side to be alone.
wait so do you mean it would be a^2=b^2+c^2?
incorrect.
sorry got lost on what you said
from $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, if we want to isolate, say, a, we want b on the right. \
therefore, we need to subtract $b^2$ from both sides: $a^2 + b^2 - b^2 = c^2 - b^2$.
Lute
on the left, the b^2 - b^2 cancel each other out, so you're left with a^2 = c^2 - b^2 (not a plus).
if you want to isolate b instead, subtract a^2 from both sides. it's the same concept here.
so subract from both sides to isolate one of them
Lute
here, we want to isolate x, so there's only one way to do it.
subtract the 4^2 from both sides?
yes! well spotted.
after that, you will have x^2 = (a lot of stuff on the right). solve the stuff on the right first.
how could I go on about for the 20 since i know the 4 is 16
what do you think will happen to a square root when you square it?
No clue, I haven't done it yet. I can't think of any instance when I have, and if I have then I must have forgotten.
if I tell you that the square root is the "opposite" of a square, will you be able to do it?
(it's also slightly worrying that you claimed to not have encountered radicals before at this stage, but we'll save that for another time.)
(my school is really not the best when it comes to math, I still havent met the teacher and its been weeks) also I can give it a go
sure.
are we not supposed to give them straight forward steps?
I'm not giving OP the straightforward steps to the original problem.
I'm just generally asking
I couldnt tell it was straight forward, im tired its been a long day i barley remembered to add until they pointed it out. So no worries
generally, if the straightforward step leads directly to the solution, then it would be frowned upon, I suppose.
if the higher-ups think that I have indeed violated this principle, I shall apologize and remove this.
No you've not done anything wrong I'm just asking because I'm kind of new to the channel so
please ignore me and continue
unrelated but related to the math, would the square roots like cancel out and leave the number inside alone?
I think I remember something like that
correct. the square root and square "undo" each other.
to understand why, we would need to go back to how exponents and radicals are defined, but that is a topic for another day.
dont worry you can trust Ill be back
my teacher will probably appear only 5 weeks like they did last school year so I will appreciate any help
isnt the x still squared?
yes I have x^2
what is it?
i got it equals 4
so x^2 = 4.
yes
remember how we said that the square root "undoes" a square?
yes
now we're going to put that to use.
take the square root on both sides.
like you want the set up to be: x multiplied by x= 4 multiplied by 4, or do it only to the fours? sorry just a little confused
x^2 = 4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(4)
oh
that's it.
so x=2?
correct.
now let's revisit this diagram. the bottom length is 8m, 2m of which belongs to x. can you find z?
how do i start it off
is it technically 4 too?
are you talking about the 8?
no.
the 8m is the length of the entire bottom line segment.
we want just the section in between z and x.
6? also sorry i took a second, my laptop was about to die
Do we know x already
yes.
its 2
yes to Xavier.
no to Bonnie.
focus on the shape in the center. what does it remind you of, and what conclusions can you draw regarding the line segmnet between z and x from the shape?
WAIT WAS IT 5
absolutely.
I forgot it was on top.
so now you have that line segment, and x. can you now find z?
is z=1?
correct.
so now you have two sides of the right triangle on the left side.
finding y is now straightforward.
I trust you can finish this yourself.
thank you very much Lute
none necessary. I'm glad to help.
towards the end i got to the point where i have to square 17, just to be sure am i still doing okay or did I over look something?
what do you mean?
something like this
so what is the equation you have at the moment?
I know a 17 is eventually involved, but I need to see your steps to confirm.
sqrt(c^2)=sqrt(17)
correct.
is the 17 going to turn out as a decimal?
unfortunately yes, as the square root of 17 is irrational.
as is the square root of 20 on the other slant, but for that you can simplify the 20 inside to get a smaller number.
not that it helps much if you need a number as a final answer.
wait ill be back, give me a second
okay im back
also may you explain further please
what do you need an explanation of?
on how to simplify the 20, do you mean getting it down to something like a 10 or a 5, or do you mean when its a decimal?
do you need a numerical answer?
if you do, this simplification matters not, as in the end you'll still need to use a calculator.
if not, factorize 20, and notice that one of its factors is a perfect square. you can move that perfect square out of the square root.
i do need a numerical answer
then ignore this simplification and use a calculator.
so just put it in a calculator?
yes.
the same for the 17?
ill see what else i have to do, if i need help ill try to come back but i also need rest

what have you tried?
ah yes, so u = 2 and v = 7, that's correct
then you should recall that slope $= \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
south
So 2+1/5-7=-3/2?
you need brackets
but yes, (2 - (-1))/(5 - 7) = -3/2 indeed
and then what?
yep!
So y=-3/2x + 9.5?

Prove that if p and p^2 + 8 are prime, then p^p^2 + p^2 - p! + 1 prime.
bro make up your mind
Done.
just be clear you mean
if $p$ and $p^2+8$ are prime then $p^{p^2} + p^{2} - p! + 1$ is also prime?
ExpertEsquieESQUIE
i think u can find p from p and p^2 + 8 (and make sure its a prime) and sub it into the p^p^2 + p^2 - p! + 1 and test if that number is a prime or not
Also the given expression is not said to lie between p and p^2+8
Not like this is not valid
U have to prove it for every given case
And we have no idea how many cases are there
yep
There is something unnatural about p^p^2 + p^2 - p! + 1
if p is an odd prime then p^2 + 8 is divisiable by 3
😭 my mistake
This shi is sum imo level ahhh
p = 2?

🗣️🗣️solved the prime conjecture
p = 2 does not satisfy the original conditions.
any for p=3
p^p^2 + p^2 - p! + 1 is 3^9 + 4 = 19687
Funnily, p = 2 and p = 3 both satisfy that p^p^2 + p^2 - p! + 1 is prime.
,w factor 19687
(p-1)! not p!
as in you think there's only a finite number of primes that make this happen?
yeah actually it's already been said
This proof gonna be tedious af
this kills it @stuck juniper
what exactly were you claiming as invalid earlier?

can there be a equation of a line that is parallel to 2 non-parallel planes?
like it is parallel to each plane
You mean two planes that are not parallel to each others, asking if there is a line that does not touch any of them?
yeah that's just the line of intersection, no? 
now that you word it like that i fucked ip
I'm not sure what you're looking for, this is a mere speculation
sup yall how do we do solve equationsn by completing the square
i had an exam yesterday
and it said to find the equation of the line that is parallel to plane 1 and plane 2
the planes were not parallel to each other
:( i think i messed up on it now
There indeed exist such line
and there are multiple of them
this is a cruel world
First of all, do you agree that when two planes are not parallel, you always get an intersection line between them?
yeah
So the lines that fulfill this requirement is parallel to this line
damn i see it now
That's how it works
maybe i still did it correctly
Anything else you wanna ask?
nope that was all
perhaps :))

would i have gotten this line by doing the cross product of the planes' normal vectors
and using the point they gave me
this is a beautiful world no longer cruel
wow
That specific line is in reality the intersection curve tangent*, for planes it happens to be a straight line
gotcha
i will remember this now
i just didnt know it was parallel
and i wrote on my exam i thikn you mean perpendicular

Can someone explain to me when lnx is plausible when integrating
integration of 1/x is lnx
and integration of 1/(ax+b) is (1/a)ln(ax+b)
for x/(x^2+3) u can use substitution method
so integration into lnx wont work if its not just 1 in the numerator?
lmao. Yeah, sadly you cant just plug in the value of the denominator into it
😔
For fractions involving polynomials, you have a few methods which vary case to case
1 / x is a really neat case
if I see a problem asking me to integrate something, and I dont know how to start it, should I just try u substitution
can you expand
If we are talking of early college or late years in HS, you usually should be fine with either u-sub or by parts
maybe a trig-sub
I had a problem on homework where it was integration by parts but it was like 3 IBP deep and then it was basically repeating
so you had to just multiply the integral and then cancel them?
something like that
whenever you want to check an answer to an integral problem, you can always differentiate the answer to check it
this is true but if I don't know how to differentiate it
then not helpful ig
Suppose we have some function P(x) which is a polynomial: aka a function of form: $ax^n + bx^{n-1}+... mx^1 + Cx^0$
For functions that are $\frac{P(x)}{P_1(x)}$ where P1 is a different polynomial
You usually end up having to do some sort of polynomial division / simplification
like long division?
∫ᴄ 𝐅·𝑑𝑟 = ∬ʀ ∇⨯𝐅 𝑑𝐴
Not really, because you are integrating a division
You cant just "divide" them and do multiple integrals because the denominator would be distributed to all fractions anyways.
Integration / Antiderivatives are a lot more strict on the rules you have to follow, thats usually why they are harder.
It's not too bad
but im in bio, chem, physics, and calc 2 right now
so I don't spend as much time as I
would like doing calc
makes it a bit harder
