the other one is q

thin night
#

Did my teacher skip on those cuz I’ve only seen him write things from textbook to the board only-

pliant shore
#

some teachers don't explain properly

thin night
#

He speaks quietly and just writes the problems from textbook on the board and solve it himself and make us read the rules written on the textbook so I get very sleepy in his classes-

pliant shore
#

sigh, do Japanese teachers still teach like that....

thin night
#

Had a better strict grandma teacher but she was changed to middle school teacher from my highschool-

#

This male teacher also always busy and gives us lot of study periods while he handle his jobs outside school-

#

And when you ask him question he tells us to figure it out ourselves and call it easy

#

When I told him it’s hard and I can’t understand anything he straight up gave me weird look and told me it’s easy

#

And now his wondering why I’m failing his class

pliant shore
#

oh no

#

that sounds terrible

thin night
#

Now test is tomorrow and now I’m here struggling to understand anything from textbooks

pliant shore
#

right, back to the question I guess

thin night
#

Kk

pliant shore
#

you start from theta = 7pi/6

#

subtract pi to get 7pi/6 - 6pi/6 = pi/6

pliant shore
#

so you have $\sin(7pi/6) = - \sin(pi/6)$

soft zealotBOT
thin night
#

I’m having hard time understanding

pliant shore
#

so the angle on a straight line is 180 degrees = pi radians

could someone explain this😭

#

the sum in the power is pi/4

#

so the whole power simplifies to i * pi

#

the sum in the base is a definition for e

I need help with the task below:

We can write $e^x$ as an infinite series called a Taylor polynomial: $$e^x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}= 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + ... $$
By including a finite number of terms in the series, we obtain an approximation of $e^x$.

Find the integral $I$ by approximating $e^x$ with a Taylor polynomial with four terms.

soft zealotBOT
shrewd wren
#

Thanks in advance!

#

I also posted the same question in Calculus

vital crag
#

Where's the definition of I

shrewd wren
#

$I = \int_{0}^{1}e^x dx$

soft zealotBOT
worldly mesa
#

Replace e^x with the approximation

#

And its just an integral of a polynomial

shrewd wren
#

ohhh

#

i see

worldly mesa
#

Then understand how large the error is

shrewd wren
#

oh okai

#

Well need a lil help in this limit

final saddleBOT
tranquil pine
#

ill share what i have done

tired walrus
# tranquil pine .

for future reference: starting a message with . PREVENTS channel opening

#

also did you mean to upload a pic of your question?

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

ok let's wait for the question and your work then

tranquil pine
#

1st try
then some sin cos weirdo just to separate the 1st n second try

#

the rest of the 2nd try

#

ح ع ت means indeterminate

tired walrus
tranquil pine
#

yes

tired walrus
#

half of your x's look like n's. it's a bit disorienting

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

so... i see you're trying to do it with l'hôpital or something. is that a requirement?

#

or is that just what you chose

tired walrus
#

the A'(x)/B'(x) thing

#

in your notation

tranquil pine
#

ouh well yeah if it is called like that i thought it has smth to do with solving a limit using derivation

tired walrus
#

im asking if this is:
A) the method your teacher requires you to do
B) simply the method you chose yourself for this question
C) the only method you know anyway

tranquil pine
#

or thought

tired walrus
#

ok right

#

can i suggest an alternative?

#

it's not going to involve any derivatives at all

tranquil pine
#

should i revise perhaps i have forgotten smth
or its solution acquires a certain other method

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

ok right

#

i think this will be easiest if i write it on paper cause i kinda don't feel like doing it in LaTeX

#

so gimme a few mins

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

this is only part of the solution bc im not giving out the full one

#

but this is how i thought to do it

#

you tried to start off with splitting the fraction too but your split went too far

#

if you do it how i showed, you can still break off a part that is safe to put x=2 into

#

and then take care of the other part separately

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

you can and should ask me about specific steps if you have doubts

tranquil pine
tired walrus
#

"safe" in this case means doesn't cause a division by 0

tranquil pine
#

ouh god

#

the only thing i would ask

#

how would u know which part from the separated root/sqrt to leave under that frac that is between ()

#

or ull try to imagine how it would be like later

tired walrus
tired walrus
#

but you can't substitute x into only part of the function you're taking the limit of

#

so that just stays there as-is until the rest is ready to have x substituted in

#

(sqrt(x)+sqrt(2)) is also a safe factor btw. could be pulled aside in a similar way but what you did still has the correct key idea

#

so yeah you have the correct answer of -1/2 and you captured the process correctly

dense palm
#

@tired walrus how did you get so good at math

tranquil pine
final saddleBOT
#

@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?

tired walrus
#

AND i studied at a relatively prestigious uni in my country of birth

#

AND i was lucky to have parents who are on good terms with math

#

so like idk. it's a whole bunch of stars all aligned in my case

#

#

i've got the amplitude, period, and the vertical shift

#

just need the horizontal phase shift

hoary tiger
#

recall that sin(0)=0
and that the amplitude of sin(x) is y=0
where does there exist a similar point on your function (where f(x)=amplitude)
do keep in mind what sin(x) normally looks like

heady reef
#

The amplitude for that graph is -1.72

#

When x = 2.35 y = -1.72

#

I could use that point

hoary tiger
#

yep :)

heady reef
#

What do I do with that

#

Ohhhh

#

I got it

I'm having trouble identifying the sample versus population and it's stressing me out

Technically the pesticides are being tested, not the crops?

cloud pawn

that makes it sound like ALL the crops are population

#

and just the 10 of each of his crops are the sample

#

I'm just unsure because it's the pesticides being teested

Wait no I'm dumb because you study something on people

tall vector
#

I found y' but don't know what to do next

final saddleBOT
tired walrus
#

can you write an expression for the distance from the particle to the origin in terms of x and y (or even just x)?

#

it'll be convenient to give it a name too, so call it r

tall vector
#

Okay

tired walrus
#

no

#

for a general pt on the curve, not only (4,2)

#

and also simplify it

tall vector
#

So just sqrt[x^2+y^2] ?

tired walrus
#

yes but replace y with the eq of the curve

#

so it'll be $r=\sqrt{x^2+x}$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

you have that dx/dt = 3
and you want dr/dt when x=4.

tall vector
#

Oh ok

tired walrus
#

do you see how to continue now?

tall vector
#

I just plug in x and x' and solve for r' right?

tired walrus
#

mmm

#

that's a bit of a strange description for the process

tall vector
tired walrus
#

$y = \sqrt{x}$ and therefore $y^2 = x$.

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

if you wanted me to be more bureaucratic i would have written $$r = \sqrt{x^2 + (\sqrt{x})^2}$$ perhaps.

soft zealotBOT
tall vector
#

Hmm okay this is what I got

tired walrus
#

your r' is wrong

#

chain rule misapplied on the root!

#

also if we're doing time derivatives then might as well write them with over-dots instead of primes

#

you'll have $$\dot{r} = \frac12 (x^2+x)^{-1/2} (2x+1) \dot{x}$$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

or in more familiar notation

#

$\dv{r}{t} = \frac{2x+1}{2\sqrt{x^2+x}} \cdot \dv{x}{t}$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

@tall vector do you understand

tall vector
#

Yes

#

Why shouldn't I use chain rule for something like this, but instead distribute

tired walrus
#

and you used the fool's product rule

#

also, unrelatedly,

#

is this (a) $\frac{1}{3}\pi$ or is it (b) $\frac{1}{3\pi}$?

soft zealotBOT
tall vector
#

It's a 🥲

tired walrus
#

ok well dont fucking write it in such a way that the pi looks like it's in the denom mate

#

either write $\frac13 \cdot \pi$ or something, or $\frac\pi3$ or just pay 30% more attention to how you place symbols on the page with your pen(cil)

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

anyway

#

(3.25h)^2 * h

#

if you dont distribute this

#

youre gonna need the product rule

#

AND the (...)^2 part will require the chain rule

#

its gonna be a royal mess

#

and your life will be difficult and you will question your life choices up to that moment

tall vector
#

Okay so basically I should distribute whenever I can and use chain rule/or just take derivative of the variable if everything else is a constant?

tired walrus
#

i am not going to give you any sort of directive to "distribute under xyz conditions"

#

but what you SHOULD do is SIMPLIFY your functions BEFORE you take their derivatives, IF such an opportunity presents itself.

tall vector
#

Okay okay thank you

boreal smelt
#

i am blank. How do i start?

tired walrus
#

let the members of the arithmetic progression be a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d

#

then

a+2, a+d+7, a+2d+9, a+3d+5

are the original x_i and thus form a GP

#

it'll take a bit of crunch but you can find a and d from here surely

#

that or try doing a similar thing but starting from the gp

boreal smelt
tired walrus
#

no

umbral hamlet
#

i would definitely start from the geometric representation, there's a lot more structure

tired walrus
#

you subtract 2, 7, 9, 5 FROM the gp to make ap

tired walrus
#

maybe it's less ugly that way

umbral hamlet
#

yes, it is

tired walrus
#

let the gp be b, br, br^2, br^3

#

b-2, br-7, br^2-9, br^3-5 form an AP

boreal smelt
boreal smelt
#

tired walrus

Ann

#

how do you manage to solve all the questions

tired walrus
#

i don't

boreal smelt
#

i got an eqn $br^2 - 2br + b +3=0$

soft zealotBOT
#

Prathmesh

tired walrus
#

there are plenty of questions which i skip

tired walrus
boreal smelt
#

ok so i need to find another

#

so the other eqn is $br^3 - 2br^2 +br +6=0$

soft zealotBOT
#

Prathmesh

umbral hamlet
#

great

#

now we need to solve these for b and r

#

normally that would be difficult, but these equations are structured very nicely

boreal smelt
#

$r=2$

soft zealotBOT
#

Prathmesh

umbral hamlet
#

yup

boreal smelt
#

$b=-3$

soft zealotBOT
#

Prathmesh

umbral hamlet
#

looks good

boreal smelt
#

now we got the terms

umbral hamlet
#

the geometric representation is very handy now

#

because we want a product of the original terms, which is easy to write in terms of b and r

boreal smelt
#

ok solved

#

216 is the answer

#

thankss

which one of these lines is steeper?

final saddleBOT
inner sundial
#

i think this is a problem where my english isnt too good, or something like that. because I have no idea which of these 2 lines is steeper, and everyone around me diminishes this as super simple

#

but its been giving me a lot of trouble in physics (this question is about isothermal and adiabatic processes in actuality)

zealous stump
#

left is steeper? maybe show ur original question

inner sundial
#

the actual question is just physics

#

at the end of all of that, it comes down to which of the two lines is steeper

well left cuz it goes down more while going to the right less (rise/run)

thats what i speak primarily nowadays, but I've been taught the concept in english

This is a good diagrammatic example (though the slopes having numbers is a little misleading, since there's not much information here to determine its value in the first place)

#

But the visual aid should be enough to get the idea

#

it is, thanks!

#

helps when the line is straight,its a bit annoying when its curves like decay curves and what not, but I think I got the crux of it now

thanks again

is it wrong to divide both sides by 5 here?

runic needle
#

no it's never wrong to do that

velvet pivot
#

But my answer is different from my lesson

bold turtle
#

Just impractical

velvet pivot
#

They factored x out of it instead of dividing by 5

bold turtle
#

Actually complete the question here and you'll end up with the same answers

how did you conclude that

velvet pivot
#

half of b squared added to both sides?

#

and then that's just a perfect square of 6/5 because 36/25

bold turtle
#

But from what

velvet pivot
bold turtle
bold turtle
#

If you were to complete the square here (though again you could just factorise the x out)

#

Then sure, you'd have 6/5 inside the brackets

#

What must you then subtract from the square to complete it?

velvet pivot
#

i think i forgot to add it to both sides

bold turtle
#

ye

velvet pivot
#

i only added it to the left side in my head

#

is this correct now?

bold turtle
#

ye

velvet pivot
#

ooo ty

#

will i get the same resutls?

bold turtle
#

You should do

Bearing in mind that "square-rooting both sides" is a "needs a plus-minus" operation

#

one way to see this is $x^2 = y^2 \iff x^2 - y^2 = 0 \iff (x + y)(x - y) = 0 \iff x + y = 0 \lor x - y = 0 \iff x = y \lor x = -y$

The parenthesis isn't the problem-point; square-rooting is

hot hornet
#

you have $a = x + \frac 65$ and $b = \frac 65$, and $a^2 = b^2$

omg it's the same result!

#

i was wondering because i felt that finding the solutions of a line in a circle could be common in geometry and if i don't have a good conception right now (which i didn't have the best) then i would definitely forget how to do this later on in math

#

so i wanted to solve it myself

#

i had trouble with this because i thought -24/5+9/5=-15/5 and not -9/5

#

But i multiplied the 3 by 3 instead of 5

#

i understand it now, thanks a lot! 🩷

how are electron movements instantaneous (the exitations etc..)
since it's a process that... certainly don't seem like happening instantaneously.

Can I get some help with this please? My answer doesn't match any of the solutions, should I use the quadratic formula?

velvet pivot
#

This is my work

loud sundial
empty bridge
#

so -(a+b) is -1*a + -1*b

#

it's -x**2 + 4x -4

spiral stump
velvet pivot
#

And then I took b/2^2 and added it to both sides

empty bridge
velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

forget it

velvet pivot
spiral stump
velvet pivot
#

i could but i wanted to test first if i could try other methods because the quadratic formula is a bit tedious

velvet pivot
velvet pivot
# spiral stump Can you tell me your steps?

First, the given is this system of equations, I set the first equation which is y equal to a quadratic set to -4x+16 equals that because in the 2nd expression that's what y is equal to

#

Then I set the new expression equal to zero to have it in standard form by adding 4x to both sides and subtracting 16 from both sides

spiral stump
#

So first thing you did is solve the system then set them equal?

velvet pivot
#

to do that you could for example do what i did, i think

empty bridge
spiral stump
#

The answer should be (2,8)

empty bridge
#

interesting

velvet pivot
velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

lemme try to do it

#

2 sec

velvet pivot
#

Okay

#

well once you get the x value, you can input it to find out the y value for each solution to x or something like that

spiral stump
velvet pivot
#

The whole point is to figure out where on the graph the linear line and quadratic curve intersect

empty bridge
#

that's ur mistake

spiral stump
velvet pivot
empty bridge
candid pulsar
#

it shouldve been x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0

empty bridge
#

that's not what you did tho

empty bridge
velvet pivot

#

whered you get that extra 8 on the rhs

velvet pivot
frail moat

velvet pivot

#

i'm solving it and I only found one solution

empty bridge
#

x = -2

velvet pivot
#

maybe i did it wrong

empty bridge
#

maybe I did

#

it's 2

#

lol

velvet pivot
#

Ah

empty bridge
#

I forgot the -

#

it's 2

empty bridge
velvet pivot
#

if it's 2 then if we take any one of the original expressions and input 2 into x you can find that for example y=-4(2)+16 = 8

candid pulsar
velvet pivot
#

how can i get 2 though?

empty bridge
empty bridge
velvet pivot

#

Ignore the - infront of the last 2

tysm ❤️

#

oh there

#

never mind

velvet pivot

#

there are two soln for original quadratic

velvet pivot
#

geometrically

velvet pivot
#

Yeah

empty bridge
#

graph it

frail moat
empty bridge
#

it crosses the x axis only one time

velvet pivot
candid pulsar
empty bridge
#

Ah

velvet pivot
#

or would it be 0

#

/genq

empty bridge
#

if the quadratic only has one solution the discriminant HAS to be 0

empty bridge
#

in the vertex form of the quadratic

velvet pivot
#

Does that mean it's neither complex nor real or are 0 and above 0 both real and only below 0 imaginary?

empty bridge
#

when the discriminant is 0, the root of the discriminant cancels out,

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

the vertex in the x axis of a quadratic is -b/2a

#

if u look at the quadratic formula

#

doesnt it look oddly similar

#

so the root of the discriminant has to be 0

velvet pivot
#

my mind isn't connecting everything but i think so!

#

i've thought about this before

empty bridge
#

discriminant=0, one solution

velvet pivot
#

and below 0 is 2 complex

empty bridge
#

discriminant strictly less than zero= 2 complex solutions

velvet pivot
#

Right

#

Thanks for the help!

empty bridge
#

np

velvet pivot
empty bridge
velvet pivot
#

i love algebra

empty bridge
#

but their way is definitely better i dont know why i didnt think of it

velvet pivot
#

and whatever is simpler and more elegant intuitively

empty bridge
#

we couldve indeed literally just set both equations equal

velvet pivot
#

but i didn't group them at the last part

#

instead i found the perfect square

#

which is also a good method

empty bridge
#

when you're completing the square don't try to simplify the expression in other ways just divide by the leading coefficient

#

like say u have 8 x squared + 5x - 8

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

divide everything by the leading coefficient which is 8

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

and?

velvet pivot
#

idk

empty bridge
#

I see what ur talking about

velvet pivot
#

my answer clearly was wrong xd

velvet pivot
empty bridge
empty bridge
empty bridge
#

the lines are equivalent but not equal

#

-2x**2 + 6x is not the same as x = whatever

#

we're solving an equation here

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

idk how to explain it

#

but basically ur solving for a value

velvet pivot
#

i know what you mean

#

yeah

empty bridge
#

we're not looking for two equalities here we just want a value for x

velvet pivot
#

Yea

#

by using algebra

#

in the same way that x-2=10 x=12

empty bridge
#

yea, like those two lines arent the same thing but they're equivalent

#

we're looking for an equivalence

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

to be honest if u grasp this concept you're good

velvet pivot
#

i suppose that if you substitute this then it won't fit both equations

empty bridge
#

it's often the understanding part that's hard

empty bridge
#

most of the time math problems usually have very easy answers

#

like 2

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

most of the time although

#

ur 4 + or minus root 8 isnt in any of the solution and just by looking at it

#

it wouldnt solve either

velvet pivot
velvet pivot
#

in my class

#

but yeah they're mostly answers taht are basic

empty bridge
#

in my classes since we are not allowed calculators during exams our professors usually put equations that lead to integer answers

#

usually

#

they trick you sometimes but still

#

gotta keep an open mind

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

when I get a weird answer I always double check

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

in your head?

velvet pivot
#

there are so many methods to check and backtrack

empty bridge
#

ngl that's a bit hard

velvet pivot
#

actually graphing it

empty bridge
#

i dont think you would be allowed a calculator in an exam with something like this

velvet pivot
#

because in systems of equations, especially irl examples, the answer isn't always an integer and so it's hard to approximate it

empty bridge
#

it's just too easy

#

(with the calculator)

velvet pivot
#

because intuitively i don't know that 157x157 equals 24,649

empty bridge
#

too much room for error

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

also your calculator can solve polynomial equations on its own

#

u just write out the coefficients and it can do it itself

#

I use that in physics exams to avoid the headache

velvet pivot
empty bridge
#

because there's no way I'm doing 789504 squared

gentle zephyr
#

basically since 70 = 2x5x7, then 5 does not divide this number 24a^25.... but 2 and 7 does

#

call this number 24a^25 -2a^19 -2a = X, then
2 | X, 7 | X, but 5 does not divide X

#

24a^25 -2a^19 -2a = 0 (mod 7)
3a^25 -2a^19 -2a = 0 (mod 7)
3a^25 + 5a^19 + 5a = 0 (mod 7)
a^25 + 25a^19 + 25a = 0 (mod 7)
a^25 + 4a^19 + 4a = 0 (mod 7)

#

so one possible solution is a = 0 (mod 7)

#

i think

cursive bough
#

yep that is true. I would use fermat's little theorem here

#

simplifies things perfectly actually

gentle zephyr
#

a^p = a (mod p)
gcd(a,p) = 1
=> a^{p-1} = 1 (mod p)

#

a^25 = (a^6)^4 × a

cursive bough
#

(also notice that you are assuming that 7 does not divide a here, it's important)

gentle zephyr
#

gcd(n,7) = ?

#

if n = 0, then gcd(n,7) = 7

#

if n = 7, then gcd(7,7) = 7

gentle zephyr
#

only case that this shit is gcd(a,7) ≠ 1 is when a = 0

hasty mist
#

You haven’t worked mod 5 yet

gentle zephyr
#

your point?

hasty mist
hasty mist
gentle zephyr
#

the confusion was that I didn't noticed that a is in-between 0 and 6

#

the multiples of 7 are not considered as they count as 0 under mod 7

#

wait a second I am getting confused

hasty mist
#

Okay, so do you agree that the only way to get divisibity by 7 is 7|a?

gentle zephyr
#

after simplifying with fermat a^19 = a(a^6)^2 = a = 0 (mod 7)

#

a^25 = a(a^6)^4 = a = 0 (mod 7)

hasty mist
#

Yes. So the whole thing becomes 2a(5-1-1) = 2a(3) = 6a mod 7

#

Hence, we need 7 | a.

#

That's one of the conditions.

#

Now you can consider the condition for modulo 5. We need that 5 does not divide 2a(12a^25 - 2a^19 -2a).

gentle zephyr
#

dont skip steps please

hasty mist
#
\[24a^{25} - 2a^{19} - 2a == 2a(5a^{24} - a^{18} - 1) == 2a(5\cd1 - 1 -1) \pmod7\]

hasty mist
#

Hm?

gentle zephyr
gentle zephyr
hasty mist
gentle zephyr
hasty mist
#

I mean sure. 6 and 7 are coprume.

gentle zephyr
#

since gcd(6,7) = 1, multiplicative inverse of 6 (mod 7) exists

#

24a^25 -2a^19 -2a = 0 (mod 5)

gentle zephyr
#

36 = 35 + 1

#

6x6 = 7x5 + 1
inverse of 6(mod 5) is 6

#

24a^25 -2a^19 -2a = 0 (mod 5)

hasty mist
#

Okay sure

gentle zephyr
#

gcd(a,5) = ?

#

if a ≠ 0 then gcd(a,5) = 1

#

a^25 = a(a^4)^6 = a (mod 5)

#

a^19 = a^3 × (a^4)^4 = a^3 (mod 5)

#

24a^25 -2a^19 -2a = 0 (mod 5)
4a + 3a^3 + 3a = 0 (mod 5)

#

7a + 3a^3 = 0 (mod 5)
2a + 3a^3 = 0 (mod 5)

#

@hasty mist i might need some helping hand

#

a = 0, a = 1, a = 4, I just tried every number a from 0 to 4

hasty mist
#
X = 2a(2a^24 - a^18 - 1)   (mod 5)
  = 2a(2 x 1 - a^2 - 1)    (mod 5)
  = 2a(1 - a^2)            (mod 5)
#

Isn't that right?

hasty mist
hasty mist
#

Now you can use CRT to combine those conditions.

#
\[
\t{System }1 = \begin{cases} a == 0 \pmod 7\\ a == 2 \pmod5\end{cases}
\]
\[
\t{System }2 = \begin{cases} a == 0 \pmod 7\\ a == 3 \pmod5\end{cases}
\]
#

Which is the same thing anyway..

gentle zephyr
#

what?

hasty mist
#

sorry

gentle zephyr
#

when did the china theorem came into play

#

we are skipping steps here

hasty mist
#

Yes?

gentle zephyr
#

sure

hasty mist
#

And in order for 5 not to divide X, you need a == 2 or 3 mod 5

#

So you can combine those conditions with CRT.

gentle zephyr
#

can't we solve just one system

#

why we need 2

#

because its an OR not an AND

#

i guess so

gentle zephyr
#

@hasty mist

hasty mist
#

I don't know why I said that. I'm under some influence of opioids due to being hospitalised. You need to solve both systems of equations.

#
\[
\t{System }1 = \begin{cases} a == 0 \pmod 7\\ a == 2 \pmod5\end{cases}
\]
\[
\t{System }2 = \begin{cases} a == 0 \pmod 7\\ a == 3 \pmod5\end{cases}

gentle zephyr
smoky egret
#

is 2\equiv 0 mod 7?

gentle zephyr
#

no

smoky egret
#

if the solution is a\equiv 2 mod 5 then a=2 should be a solution since 2\equiv 2 mod 5 right?

#

and if 2 is a solution to the first system then 2\equiv 0 mod 7 but thats not the case

smoky egret
# soft zealot **Cooly**

for systems like this with small moduli (and a small number of equations in the system) the fastest way is to probably manually find a solution

#

so first you want a number a that satisfies a\equiv 0 mod 7

#

whats the smallest natural number that satisfies this?

gentle zephyr
#

dude but if I want to practice RRT

#

is it not possible?

smoky egret
#

by RRT you mean chinese remainder theorem ig, you can do that np but its faster for you to manually find the solutions

#

like in the exam you need this extra time that you can save

gentle zephyr
smoky egret
#

nice

gentle zephyr
#

i was taking modulo 5 instead of mod 5x7

smoky egret
#

ohhhh i see

#

so what about the next system

gentle zephyr
#

Mi yi = ci (mod mi)
M1 = 5, M2 = 7
5 y1 = 0 (mod 7)
15 = 14 + 1
y1 = 0 (mod 7)
7 y2 = 3 (mod 5)
21 = 20 + 1
y2 = 9 (mod 5)
y2 = 4 (mod 5)
xi = Mi yi
x1 = 5 × 0 = 0
x2 = 7 × 4 = 28
a = 0 + 28 = 28 (mod 35)

#

that should do the trick @smoky egret @hasty mist

gentle zephyr
#

so what is the final answer?

#

anyways I appreciate the help lads, I think I got it

I’m a little confused, if f(0)=0 how does that immediately imply C=0?

rocky tusk
#

did you read it?

#

they give f(alpha)

#

and literally just plugged in

tired walrus
#

ln|0+1|=?

worldly spruce
#

so fucken cool

tired walrus
#

also where are the dx's

worldly spruce
#

interesting

rocky tusk
#

lol

#

what kind of book is this

fringe quarry
#

yeah but it’s not working for the problem I’m on rn

rocky tusk
#

is this the tik tok guys book

#

math scribbles or something

tired walrus
fringe quarry
#

can’t really do a=0 😔

fringe quarry
#

book of integrals is fire

rocky tusk
fringe quarry
#

same with book of marvellous integral s

#

I’m managing to learn so

#

🤷🏽‍♂️

tired walrus
#

how did pi happen

rocky tusk
#

typesetting lowkey hurts my eyes

fringe quarry
tired walrus
fringe quarry
#

correct me if I am wrong

fringe quarry
#

I’m just confused cos like

tired walrus
#

so you put some other value of alpha that works

fringe quarry
#

can I make a= anything?

tired walrus
#

0 isn't sacred

fringe quarry
#

well yeah

#

but then I also get f(1)=C which doesn’t really help I think

#

the answer is 0 but I don’t see how I can get that

tired walrus
#

honestly maybe feynman technique ain't very good here

#

how about x=e^u on the original integral

fringe quarry
#

Hmmm I’ll try that

bold turtle
#

Slight NB about the notation here:

#

Once you've integrated that dx, the function is in alpha only

#

So the derivative outside the integral, i.e. of f(alpha), is a full derivative (not partial)

#

Also, you mentioned alpha := 0 doesn't lead you anywhere

#

Sure, not at the end, because of the log

fringe quarry
#

mmm yeah I see that vision

bold turtle
#

But what about where you defined f in the first place?

fringe quarry
#

f still has lnx on the top so 0 still doesn’t work I think

bold turtle
#

(ah wait yh mb KEK)

#

...yh nvm, what Ann said then

#

Do a u-sub with x = exp(u)

fringe quarry
#

I done it that way

#

And it worked

#

I got 0

Is this called a amsyptopde

#

asymptote*

#

i just want to confirm

sour zealot
#

which part?

#

there is an asymptote here, i believe, but i just want to confirm catthumbsup

severe lava
#

and he told me to rewatch the youtube video

#

1 second ill show u what way he does it

#

and he's asking me why the numerator and denominator are the roots or whatever

#

and he thinks

#

its a conwindence it works

#

and he asked me why it works

tribal ocean
#

its not

severe lava
#

ikr

tribal ocean
#

wait which way did you do it

sour zealot
#

is your teacher... chatgpt? we usually advise against using AI here, as it can lead to misinformation

tribal ocean
#

this one or prev

severe lava
tribal ocean
#

that's how i learnt it lol

severe lava
tribal ocean
#

in school

severe lava
#

and its easier for your guys

tribal ocean
#

it's very easy to prove why it works

sour zealot
severe lava
tribal ocean
#

Yes it's trivial

severe lava
tribal ocean
#

No

#

what exactly is he asking for, why the method works?

severe lava
#

since idk squaring both sides so the inequalitie doesnt flip

tribal ocean
#

but is he asking you why your method works

severe lava
#

if the x is a minus

severe lava
tribal ocean
#

its proof by cases

severe lava
#

and he told me infront of the class that its non sense

tribal ocean
#

Hes dumb

severe lava
#

but ill be honest idk how it works

#

but it just does

tribal ocean
#

you should get an understanding of why then

severe lava
#

and i dont wanna ask ai, cause like the guy said earlier, it just might lead to mis information

tribal ocean
#

can you give me 5 mins i gtg

severe lava
tribal ocean
#

I'll write the proof after

severe lava

#

Your method is equivalent to your teacher's method; note that after your Step 3, if instead of doing it by cases, you multiply both sides by (x+2)^2, then you just go to your teacher's Step 4.

severe lava
#

but i just want to prove that

#

can just as easily get you

#

the answer

#

without going the long way

gloomy river
#

I don't think either of you is going "the long way". Doing by cases is not that easy to formalize, it might use some notions that you may have not seen (continuity, intermediate value theorem), which the parabola way avoids by using a convexity argument (have you seen what it means for a function to be convex?).

severe lava
#

no i havent seen that lol

#

but ill look into it

#

but ill put thatt point forward, to my maths teacher, considering he probably knows what that means and it might broaden his understanding of what im trying to do

gloomy river
#

Yeah, no need, your teacher won't expect you to know that. The thing is, he should know that doing by cases is a formal way of doing it, so I don't think there really is a point of arguing with him; just learn his method, and he'll stop complaining.

severe lava
#

cause instead of sayin critical points, i said special numbers, cause i didnt know the word for it at the time

severe lava
#

so 🤷‍♂️

#

im happy i have a teacher thats opened minded at least yk

tribal ocean
#

Yeah technically its because of halfspaces buuut I mean its just checking if each term is pos and neg and when that happens

#

You can argue by showing each case is handled correctly

severe lava
#

if it works its true

#

if not its false

tribal ocean
#

it works because they all have the same sign for each term

#

so checking any one of them checks everything in that interval

gloomy river
# gloomy river Yeah, no need, your teacher won't expect you to know that. The thing is, he shou...

But if you want a rough explanation, the intuition is that on either side of $x=-2$, the function $f(x) = \frac{-x-9}{x+2}$ is continuous, basically meaning that you can draw its graph without lifting your pen from the paper. This means that if $f(x)$ were to change sign on either on the intervals $(-\infty,-2)$, $(-2,\infty)$, it would have to cross the $x$-axis (it would have to equal 0). Since the only spot where $f(x)=0$ is at $x=-9$, then it doesn't change sign on teh intervals $(-\infty,-9)$,$(-9,-2)$, and $(-2,\infty)$.

Feltheshovel

tribal ocean
#

yes continuity ftw

severe lava
#

ty so much guys for ur help

#

i appriciate it so so much

gloomy river
#

Also, don't always look at things negatively; he may have feigned to doubt you so you would try to understand why your own method works. Even if that was not his intention, you must admit that you learned more from this than if he had simply told you that you were correct.

severe lava
#

and it was nice learning about it

#

now i like properly understand it

1 + 1 + a + 2 + a + 1 - 1 ≠ 0

2a + 4 ≠ 0

a ≠ -2

w^3 = e^{2ki.pi/3} , k ∈ {0,1,2}

storm haven
gentle zephyr
#

no

storm haven
# gentle zephyr

Yes lol you wrote w^3 for the right side equation in your previous message

gentle zephyr
#

wait

#

so you saying w^3 = e^{2kpi × i}

storm haven
#

Well, notice that no matter what w (unless it is 1) is, {w, w^2, w^3} is the 3 roots of unity

storm haven
gentle zephyr

so w^3 is?
