how u do this
@quiet garden Has your question been resolved?
This looks like a green's theorem problem
Because otherwise you would have to do a line integral for each segment
pretty ugly for a green's theorem problem, I think it would suck either way lol
but green's is easier i agree
Yeah but that's just the bounds at that point that are tedious

i need help, i have a revision sheet but there is no answer key. i am wanting to know if my answers are correct.
Why the $cong$?
γ―γΌγͺγΌ
wdym? in which question and which statement?
This here
opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent
Should be fine
im sorry if i annoy you, im gradually doing the worksheet so im gonna be sending stuff every few minute.

I need help: (2π₯+1)(3π₯β6)=π(ππ+π)(πβπ) shouldn't the 3 go next to (x-2) instead of at the start? dosen't that change the value of the equation?
multiplication is commutative
so $(2x+1) \cdot 3 \cdot (x-2)$ and $3 \cdot (2x+1) \cdot (x-2)$ are one and the same anyway
the 3 has no special emotional attachment to specifically the (x-2) bracket!
ohhh
Ann
there we go
sorry 
okay so this makes sense but i do still need some help with something
so the next exercise after is
solve E=0
e was the equation that was above
so
π(ππ+π)(πβπ)
but
on the correction it says
(2π₯ +1)(π₯ β2) = 0
so im a little confused lol
maybe it was on the test like that
and i didn't see it

Why does this person put -1 in brackets?
What would it mean without brackets?
Again??????
Did you just ask the same question in a different channel?
YES, #help-42 message
Anyway, the person puts -1 in brackets because you dont put two operators right after another to make it more readable
You mean for example
5+(-5)
Instead of 5+-5?
yes
,w 5+(-5)
,w 5+-5

i can help
Try simplifying B a little @lethal drum using row operations
good idea
Taking the determinant directly would be painful 
there has to be a simpler way right? i dont think our prof would want us to fill 2 whole pahes of just step by step row operations
if so then after changing the columns am stuck there, do we take every single number outside as cofactor since theyre similar in all the rows or what do even do
I suggested you to simplify because of the pattern you notice with coefficients in each column
So really it won't be too much and you possibly get a neat relation
yea thats what i thought of at first glance, but then it gets too complicated
Element as in the entry in a row and column
Like b 1,1 and so on
Like a cell in a table
Term as in a letter
so 1 letter and 1 number?
Like each cellular block with one letter
Please i need help about this topic. Logarithm

well yea in first glance it seems like thats what we sshould do
but then it gets too complicated
Try going systematically
Eliminate one variable at a time
Also it suffices to do it for only one column @lethal drum

should i memorize this
or am i better off conceputalizing this somehow
Conceptualizing is the way
UwU
how do i go about that
cuz rn i see some paterns but dont understand how it all corelates
First, recall that F'' is the derivative of F'
Right?
yes
We know that when the derivative of a function is 0, that function is at an extrema right?
hi 
Hiiiiii
following that patern yes
And by definition, when f'' = 0, that's an inflection point 
That's for the first row
or would it be potential rel min/max
and potential inflection point
It's actually a certain min /max iirc, but in the first row they actually say "or undefined" for f''x, that's why it's "potential"
But if they said f'' = 0, NOT undefined, then it would be certain 
oh so when f(x) = undef there's potentaly a inflection point or relative extra
Yup, like the absolute value function
and when f''(x) = 0 theres defo inflection/rel min/max
At its vertex, the derivative is undefined. But it's at an extrema
ohhhh that makes sense
To add onto that, for an abs function, it is not differentiable at zero due to a "cusp" (Sharp point)
ahh ok i see
wait and then i think the bottom 2 clicked for me
when f''(x) crosses the x axis, it measn theres a point of inflection, and then building off of previous knowlegde that when f'(x) changes from pos to neg f(x) has rel max so same thing is applied for f''(x) and f'(x)
explanation might be not so good 
That's a perfect intuition alr 
greatttt
For the F'' > or < 0, by definition F is concave up or concave down
so just memorize that?
I don't think you could put any intuition on that, cause that's literally the definition of concaveness!
Yep
okay thats pretty easy to memorize thankfully
But, for F' u can use intuition
f''(x)>0 --> f'(x) is increasing
F' is increasing
When a functions derivative is positive, then that functiin is increasing
And F'' is the derivative of F'
And that's it for your whole table 
Simple wasn't it?? 
Closed by @meager hamlet
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
β Original question: #help-36 message
im assuming i can have a wide range of questions? concavity, where f'(x) has point of inflection, does it have potential point of inflection, if f'(x) is inc or dec
all of those are fair game now?
if its asking about something different i can change the f into like f' and determine different stuff right?
check with your teacher, but all of those are fair game
though if f'(x) has a point of inflection, that would be setting the 3rd derivative to zero, so the function better be easy to differentiate
i'd say that's fair game also
This question is also nicer too. It already gave you the 1st derivative. So you need to take the derivative of that to determine concavity and/or inflection points of g(x)
and the intervals used on tbale on the last photo was just found using the crirical values of g''(x)
my teacher said thats becasue she didn't want to spend instructional time doing simple differentiation
shouldnt expect nice questions on exam sadly
This may be different for you, but my exam for calculus (Assuming its hs math) was really straightforward. All the questions on the exam were questions that I have seen. Exams questions tend to be easier than tests.
I think your teacher wants to test how well you know properties of graphs
they're not going to have any crazy differentiations beyond the product rule, quotient rule, chain rule as you've seen before
over here where you find where the denominator of g''(x) = 0
u do (x^2+3)^3 = 0
x^2 + 3 = 0
x^2 = -3
yep, and that's impossible for all real numbers
and then since that would give imaginary numbers there is no value?
ok i see
if it were to give real numbers
then id use those in the table?
no
or actually, wait you do for some instances
That wouldn't be possible
x^2 + 3 = 0
x^2 = -3
x = sqrt(-3)
You can't take a sqrt of a negative
cause if you changed (x^2 + 3)^2 to (x^2 - 4)^2 for example
the sign of that doesn't change: it's always 0 or positive
but if you had (x^2 - 4)^3 instead, the sign of that changes
so whenever you have something squared, or to the power of 4 or 6
the sign of that doesn't change, so you don't need to make a column for it in your sign diagram table
oh bc its always positive?
you'd just use your table and then write $x \ne -2, 2$
south
zero or positive, yes
no worries!
good luck!

this is just using second deriv rule
do i need to know my unit circle to find 7Ο/6
and 11Ο/6
or is there a way to find that by hand
i normaly use the table method when it comes to trig
but idk if i can use that here
,tex .reflect trig
riemann
riemann
using a unit circle (even a small sketch of one) will far and away be the fastest way to find sin 7Ο/6
what's the question
ok so honestly its probs easier to memorize the unit circle? lol
yes
well at least memorising Ο/6, Ο/3, and Ο/4
and then you can kinda work with it from there
use 2nd derivative therom to find rel extrema
yea okay ill memorize it ig
while im here... i have a question abt 2nd deriv test
for 7Ο/6 for instance i'd scribble something like this
It's best to know 2pi, pi, pi/2, pi/3, pi/4, pi/6, and 0. You can figure the rest out using CAST
from my understanding its as followed:
if x=a is a critical value of f(x) then f'(x) = 0 or undef and is therefore a potential rel min/max
does that mean i should then take the 2nd derivative of f(x) and test all critical values to see if f"(x) > 0 f"(x)<0 or if f"(x)=/0
okay ill look into it
righttt i forgot out the special right triangles
the midterm isnt till another month so i have time to learn that ig
yup
,tex .unit circle
riemann
I will show you an example in a sec
okay i was confused cuz i didn't realize im meant to test all critical values
so basically i can use 2nd deriv test any time?
the second derivative test says that if f ' (a) = 0, then:
- if f '' (a) > 0 -> f has a relative minimum at a
- if f '' (a) < 0 -> f has a relative maximum at a
- if f '' (a) = 0 -> f has neither a relative minimum nor maximum at a (for example, x^3 at 0)
and i can just set f'(x) = 0 by having everything everything on one side right?
dumb question
but my brain is totaly fried today
ummmm i'm not sure what your question is. you can set f ' (x) = 0 by.... setting f ' (x) = 0
like if f(x) = sinx + x^2
then f ' (x) = cosx + 2x
okay yea that clarifies
ahh i remember this a bit
ill need to do some practic e
thanks for the help guys
ive been studying since 9am and now its almost 2am i think im gonna call it a day today π
literally the 2nd derivative is used to determine the concavity at the critical point.
So if c is a critical point, then if f''(c) > 0, it is a concave up, therefore min. If f''(c) < 0, it is a concave down, therefore max.
oh actually i slightly misspoke --- if f ' ' (x) = 0 then it's inconclusive (e.g. x^4 at 0)
@meager hamlet Has your question been resolved?
one tiny thing more
when it says f"(x) is >0 it means above x axis right?
and when f"(x)<0 it's bellow x axis
or am i meant to look at the slopes
@meager hamlet Has your question been resolved?
means above x axis
means what is above the x axis? f(x), f'(x) or f''(x)?

Let V be an euclidean space with inner product <.,.> and T:V->V a linear operator
Show that if T is self-adjoint, then every eigenvalue Ξ» of T is real.
This question was given to us as an exercise by the professor, but I believe it to be misplaced and I need some conceptual clearing.
So far we have only been working with real inner product spaces, I'm aware of other definitions for complex spaces but that has not been mentioned yet.
Then the proof would be trivial because V is an euclidean space and from the definition of eigenvalue, Ξ» is in R. Am I missing something?
The fact that T is self-adjoint does not even seem to matter here
You use definition of self adjoint and axioms/properties of vector spaces
Do you have a list of axioms for euclidean space
a vector space with an inner product (in this case the real inner product that we have been working with)
that is the definition he gave
of what an euclidean space is
Do you have properties of the inner product
The axioms?
Sure
<,>:V X V -> R
i) <v, v> >=0, and =0 iff v=0
ii)<u, v>=<v, u>
iii)<u,v+w>=<u,v>+<u,w>
iv)<ku,v>=k<u,v> with k being a scalar in R
You might be missing an important property (definition?) of hermitian operators:
If T hermitian, then <a, T(b)> = <T(b), a>
the axioms for real inner products that we were given
if it meets those properties then it's a real inner product
just treat the exercise as if you had a complex inner product
That hasn't been introduced yet, that's the problem
Yea idk how to do this without<u, v> = <v, u>*
You need to know inner product space properties for complex IPs to disprove that it is complex... If you haven't covered complex IPs yet, how can you prove an eigenvalue is "real"?
Like if we don't know what an complex number is, what other than "a real number" can a constant value be
Yes that's exactly what I said, I was just asking for guidance. I wasn't sure if I was missing something or not. But I guess the question was actually just misplaced
Its a standard question if you can use properties like <cu, v> = c* <u, v> but you can't really disprove c being complex if you can't define a complex number
Sloppy
So is it correct to say that the proof is trivial? That is basically what I want to know
Following those definitions
Depends what you consider trivial
I mean you can't wave your hand and say it's trivial lmao but it's not a super hard proof with the requisite tools
That's a subjective word
I have an uneasy feeling that I am missing something
since V is a vector space over the reals, then any eigenvalue of T:V->V must belong to the reals
But I was thinking about something like the 90ΒΊ rotation transformation from R^2 to R^2, doesn't that have complex eigenvalues?
Well is the 90 degree rotation even hermitian?
You only guarentee real e-vals for a hermitian operator, otherwise its free game
Here's the setup for the evals of a Hermitian are real proof (I gave this in a tutorial recently so I have it typed up nicely). Notice how we assume lambda is a complex number
Should just do this
Alright, so I tried writing this down:
<Tv, v>=<Ξ»v, v>=Ξ»<v,v>
then Ξ»=<Tv, v>/<v,v>
Since we're working with real inner product spaces then the numerator and denominator are both real, and <v,v> isn't 0 because v is not zero
This seems to imply that any transformation with a real inner product only has real eigenvalues, but that can't be true. So what is incorrect about this?
The fact that T is self adjoint should come into play somehow but I don't know how
Okay...
There's nothing stopping lambda from being a complex number, that's why the general case fails
Now if T is hermitian you can do the switcharoo <Tv, v> = <v, Tv>
If you apply the same process you just mentioned to <v, Tv>, you will get Ξ»*=<Tv, v>/<v,v> (recall you can pull out a constant from the IP, but it gets conjugated if you do it from the left side)
This will imply Ξ» = Ξ»*...
Right, but why would lambda be complex? If V is a vector space over a field F then Ξ»βF. Since euclidean vector spaces are spaces over the reals then how can Ξ» be complex
isn't that the definition of an eigenvalue? Ξ»βF is an eigenvalue of T if there exists v in V, vβ 0, such that T(v)=Ξ»v
Who says V is a real VS?
Are euclidean vector spaces not spaces over the reals?
Oh alright... that makes your question poorly phrased. Your prof (or you during transcription) probably misspoke/miswrote
Let V be an euclidean space with inner product <.,.> and T:V->V a linear operator
Show that if T is self-adjoint, then every eigenvalue Ξ» of T is real.
.... Assuming euclidean means "real VS" is an idempotent statement, it's like saying "If we get the real roots of any polynomial, they'll all be real"
Yea thats why I asked if I could just say the proof is trivial lol
Sorry I might have not been explaining myself very clearly because I am a little confused about this
I mean in the way you state it sure, but I'm like 95% sure your prof meant:
Let V be ANY vector space with inner product <.,.> and T:V->V a linear operator
Show that if T is self-adjoint, then every eigenvalue Ξ» of T is real.
Yes I see. Now I wanna go back to the other question that I had about the 90Β° transformation from R^2 to R^2
"A Euclidean vector space is a finite-dimensional inner product space over the real numbers." This is basically the definition of euclidean vector space that we are using
So R^2 is an euclidean vector space right?
With the axioms of inner product that I sent before
R^2 is a euclidean VS if you go by the word-for-word definition, but we usually work in C^2 under the hood
I see. So if I'm working extrictly in R^n then that transformation does not have eigenvalues or eigenvectors yes?
Like your rotations and stuff all happen in C^2, we just typically chose matrices that happen to be R^2, so we don't notice
Exactly
You can't define them cause they're complex
But we usually want to define them, so we work in C^2 even if our matrices are all real
Basically the trivial "question" could be rephrased to something like: if T has an eigenvalue then it is real.
So it does not fail because in this case it doesn't have an eigenvalue since we are in R2
Exactly
We don't even need T to be hermitian in that construction, it's like saying "all real numbers are real"
Yes I see. Thank you.
Unfortunately this isn't the first mistake that I have encountered in this course, it isn't uncommon for this professor. Really makes the learning process way more confusing. Makes me a little sad
Thanks for the help

Two devices, located at points A and B, pull with forces of 720 N and 810 N respectively in order to lift a load vertically to a height of 3.5 m.
If the work W (in J) is defined as the dot product of the force \vec{f} (in N) acting on an object and the displacement \vec{d} (in m) of that object, that is,
W = \vec{f} \cdot \vec{d},
what is the work done by the resultant force acting on the load?
cos 63 = a/810 = 367,63
sin 63 = b/810 = 721,71
(367,63;721,71)
cos 27 = a/720 = 641,52

sine of both to get the upwards components, since the side opposite (as opposed to adjacent with cosine) the angle is vertical
add them to get the total upwards force
work is force times displacement
i'm not french but it seems to be lifted by 3.5 meters?
so multiply the displacement by the sum of forces
i haven't done physics problems in a while but that's what i'd do

if we have a prime number "q" that is 1024 bit and another large number "a" (1020-1024 bit) number that we want to check if its Quadratic residue , using Legendre symbole
we need to compute a ^ (p-1)/2 which is kinda impossbile , is there another way to find if our number is Quadratic residue
i.e q = 25081841204695904475894082974192007718642931811040324543182130088804239047149283334700530600468528298920930150221871666297194395061462592781551275161695411167049544771049769000895119729307495913024360169904315078028798025169985966732789207320203861858234048872508633514498384390497048416012928086480326832803

not claiming there isnβt a better way, but doesnβt seem impossible to compute that mod q
a ^ (q-1)/2 (mod q)
how would u compute it
let me get on my computer for this one
Bruh
do you have a way to check it?
i got 12198191382510180130171785779099635405775646886012417221562882673911806474606622930917413991202999512582284613332305654295896813876410078041259926827289489544738064234567425318685278617664636888180070131538546281599196217240157921967978943264140230808292994118880960193709071196232722730098178814120258104487
Hm one sec
when you think it's impossible i think you are just underestimating how fast exponentiation can be
is this the end result of the entire operation ?
i mean it should be {0,1,-1}
the value of a^(q-1)/2 (mod q)
I got 1

i ran this code on python
and it crashed
gg
that's quite the code
pow cant even hold 3 values

yeah im gonna gts
goodnight 


yeah id sleep too

dab me up
that q ain't even fking prime
is q prime
Bruh
sagemath says it is not
Itβs not
plus if it was prime i wouldn't have gotten this answer
undeniable fact
Can we please get me helpful already
same
anyway you can compute these pretty simply in sage.
a = 3
q = 7
R = Integers(q)
x = R(a)^((q-1)/2)```
it works fine with big boi numbers
exponentiation is FAST
there's even a built in legendre symbol function too
but just wanted to show exponentiation is fast

even odd decomposition is pretty cool. but I want to understand how the equations get derived
I get the algebra basics of even vs odd, but I want to understand this follow up
A function (f(x)) is called even" if and only if \(f(-x)=f(x)\iff f(x)-f(-x)=0\). Also a function \(f(x)\) is called odd" if and only if (f(-x)=-f(x)\iff f(x)+f(-x)=0).
In general if we have some function, take (f(x)) again, then we can construct another function (O(x)=\frac{f(x)-f(-x)}{2}) which will always be odd. This comes right from the idea that (f(x)-f(-x)) encodes oddness. Simiarly, define (E(x)=\frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}) which will always be even. If you add them then you get back the original function (f(x)=E(x)+O(x)).
As a side note, if (f(x)=e^x) we can actually get the functions (\sinh(x)) and (\cosh(x)) in this way, but that is by definition of those latter functions.
Ξ Ξ±Ο³Ξ±ΞΌΞ±ΞΞ±ΞΌΞ±Ξλαμα
so sinh(x) is the odd signal from e^x
oh whoops I flipped the order
but the idea still stands
similarly you also get cos(x) and i sin(x) by applying to e^(ix)
woah
Is there a calculus-y way for finding that E(x) = f(x) + f(-x) / 2
Like how did they get it in the first place
you can think of it via the taylor series
taking f(-x) keeps all the even terms the same and flips the signs of all the odd terms
so taking the taylor series of f(x) + f(-x) , all the even terms add up (so now they are doubled) and all the odd terms cancel
also thank you very much! this is very well written even clearer than the textbook I'm looking at
(signals and systems on libre text)
higher's taylor explanation is another good justification
and the even-odd decomposition is literally just taking the even and odd powers from the taylor series respectively
perhaps less ad hoc than mine
I saw that
1/2 ( f(x) + f(-x)+ 1/2 (f(x) - f(-x)) easily simplifies to f(x)
since 1/2 f(-x) - 1/2 f(-x) = 0
and 1/2 (f(x) + 1/2 (f(x) = f(x)
I don't have a strong enough understanding of Taylor series to really understand what you are saying π
write out the taylor series of f(x) and f(-x) then add them
,, e^x = \frac{x^0}{0!} + \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots \
e^{-x} = \frac{x^0}{0!} - \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots \
\cosh x = \frac{x^0}{0!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \cdots \
\sinh x = \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots \
\begin{multlined}
e^x + e^{-x} = \ab(\frac{x^0}{0!} + \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots) \ + \ab (\frac{x^0}{0!} - \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots) \ = 2\frac{x^0}{0!} + 2\frac{x^2}{2!} + 2\frac{x^4}{4!} + \cdots = 2\cosh x
\end{multlined} \
\begin{multlined}
e^x - e^{-x} = \ab(\frac{x^0}{0!} + \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots) \- \ab(\frac{x^0}{0!} - \frac{x^1}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots) \= 2\frac{x^1}{1!} + 2\frac{x^3}{3!} + 2\frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots = 2\sinh x
\end{multlined}

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS MATH QUESTION PLZ?
,rccw
Huh....?
Why the urgency lol
SURE THING. WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED?
(try unsticking your caps lock!)
what is the topic being tested here
Algebra
and what are the other questions like?
well yea it's algebra alright, but what topic in algebra? reasoning? modelling?
also, again, what are the other questions like?
(don't mind the other stuff) but this is the rest of the paper
so from my understanding you're being asked to say if it is a valid statement to make
I think moddeling
But like i don't get the equation
And I don't know what x is
Well, you can definitely notice that the equality won't hold for all values of x, right? As seen simply by x = 0 with 4 = 0
can you use algebra to find one value of x? are there any others?
My teacher just started teaching us of algebra a week ago
but
I'll try the equation again
Do you know how to isolate a variable on one side of the equation?
An example might do you well here.
No T w T
have you learnt about equation balancing then?
X would be two then
good, but how did you get to that conclusion?
Cuz 7 - 5 is 2
and what gave you the right to subtract 5?
the steps are more important than the answer here
Take the equation [
3x - 5 = 10
]
Our first step is to isolate the $3x$ on one side of the equation. To do so, you can add 5 to both sides:
[
3x-5\0b{{}+5} =10 \0b{{}+5} \Implies 3x = 15
]
you missed a 10 somewhere
Yeah fixed
OP, pay attention to this very step
note that in algebra, if you do something to one side, you must do it to both
this is the step I was testing you about
Well, I know that when I use addition when I add 2 to five that makes seven so when I look at x + 5 = 7 then I think that's just phrasing the equation differently and using a different operation
you are correct in this simple case
but suppose you have x + 5 = 6x instead
now you cannot simply eyeball a solution
this is where equation balancing (aka the "do to one side = do to both" principle) comes into play
My teacher told me a method of finding an answer is guess and check
oh nonononono.
I'm scared-
you don't have the luxury of taking 10 years per question
and come on. there IS a better method - algebra!
you learn algebra precisely so that you don't have to do it by trial and error
ok so the basic idea in all of algebra is equation balancing
Okay
which I've been drilling over and over here
now, why is this so important, you might ask
take this example
maybe you can eyeball a solution directly. maybe you can't. but we don't care because we don't need to guess.
we can simply isolate x (that is, turn the equation into x = something)
the first step is already shown here (adding 5 to both sides)
but you now have 3x on the left instead of x
But how do I turn x into something if that something is not what x is supposed to be-
see, by isolating x, you are in fact finding the one value that could apply to x!
in fact, not could, but must
Ohh
WAIT
SO IF I JUST TAKE AWAY X
AND DO THE REST OF THE EQUATION
THEN I COULD POTENTIALLY FIND OUT EHAT X IS
hold up, what are you thinking
X*
show an example please
So the question I'm stuck on
mhm
7x*
Okay
now, you give me $4
Okay
with your money, I have an amount of money equivalent to seven packets of money
so x here represents the amount in one such packet of money
now, to solve this one, you'll have to bring the two x's to the same side of the equation
this is most easily done by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation.
can you see why that works?
if this is confusing we can go back to Lex's example
as I've mentioned, the steps are more important than the answer
and no, I will not accept guess and check as a method
3x +4 = 7x
SO
YK THE +4
JUST DO THAT
BUT LIKE YOU MENTIONED
MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND THIS MADE ME THINK BACK
you can chill off the caps lock lolz
nw
And she said
continue
You have to turn the operation into its opposite when you are placing it on the other side
Cuz your doing the equation backwards right
not... exactly
ok focus on just this one sentence and nothing else
Okay
why is it that you use the inverse operation when you move an operator and its operand to the other side?
It's cuz your like
Doing the equation backwards, like you would in like for your example earlier x + 5 = 7
Me doing
doing the equation backwards may explain why we need to move stuff to the other side
but it does not explain why we use inverse operations
for example
HOW DO I EXPLAIINNNN
x + 5 = 7, right?
why can't we say x = 7 + 5? why must it be x = 7 - 5?
if you can answer this one question, you are set for most of algebra
how so
not too bad of an explanation but unfortunately I was looking for something more specific
The answer is to the equation is SUPPOSED to be 7
in fact, the answer I'm looking for is exactly what you're doing when you "move" terms from one side to the other
right, I think enough beating around the bush
Since the answer to the equation is supposed to be seven you can't ADD to seven
Then that wouldn't be the answer
that still doesn't cut to the heart of the problem
I'm sorry
but it's ok, that's why we're here
I would type in caps but you told me to cut back on that
the answer as to why you flip the operations / use the inverse operations when moving from one side to the other is because you are doing the same thing to both sides
suppose you want to know the answer to x + 5 = 7
you don't know that x = 2 beforehand and you dw to guess and check
but you know that if you manipulate the equation to say x = something, then you have the value of x for which the original equation works
now, that +5 is getting in the way of that at the moment
we would really want to remove the +5 so that the x stands alone
and what do we do to remove the +5? we subtract 5.
Ohhh
but wait! equations are like a pair of balancing scales. if you do one thing to one side, it will now become unbalanced
Ooooohhh
therefore, you balance it by subtracting 5 from the other side as well
but let's see what happens after that
and this is precisely why we "flip" the operations when moving it over to the other side
we are not actually flipping the operations per se
we are just doing the inverse of those operations so that the original and inverse operations on our chosen side cancel to leave x alone
but by doing so we also need to rebalance the equation by doing the same to the other side

I owe you my first born if that's how it works
no thank you LMAO
you could have asked
here, my personal notes
I'm crying your so nice
nps
You have to be like a college professor
Also
what do you mean it holds up will uni
Till*
does it change in uni?

I know the E[X] = 1/p
with the PMF defined as P(X=k) = p^(k-1) * p
what's an approach to calculate the variance tho?
Maybe there's a formula? But not sure how to derive it
Yea
Yk
,, \Var[X] = \vb E[X^2] -\vb E^2[X]
Yes I know this property
You can do it with the transfert formula
yakuuuuuuuuuuu
You can then recover it by [
\vb E[X^2] = \vb E[X(X-1)] + \vb E[X]

So, expanding a number is easy
4Β² = 4*4 = 16
But what if I need to go back from 16 to 4 and I don't know that 4Β² = 16? Is there a formula for that?
Yes
Its called the square root function
It is the "inverse" of the squaring operation
,align
4^2 &= 16 \
\3{16} &= 4
As you dee the first line starts from 4 and gives you 16, the second line starts from 16 and gives you 4
Sure
But what if I don't know that 16 = 4Β²? Putting a sign wouldn't help me
What does "putting a sign" mean
But I mean, that's why the square root function exists
You dont have to know (although you should)
For example 29929 = 173^2
You probably did not know that but you dont need to
,w sqrt(29929)
The square root function just tells you
The symbol before 16
Like you are asking how to compute a square root then, I guess?
I won't have access to internet on an exam though
It comes from knowing your squares, yes
Probably
Like yeah I wouldnt know that sqrt(29929) = 173 either
x Γ x = 16
x = ?
Which squares should I memorize then?
Id recommend you memorise 1^2 to 20^2. Anything else (besides multiples of 5) would take you work to figure out
And what about Β³, β΄, etc? Should I do those too?
What are you guys laughing at? π
I mean i have 1^3 to 10^3 memorised but not anything after that
Oops wrong reply
Because having three x's in a row looks funny
Generally, we would write xΒ² = 16 instead of x Γ x = 16
And what about β΄, β΅, etc?
Well $x^4$ is in reality $(x^2)^2$ so I can work it out from that
^5 I wouldn't know at a glance
Unless its a power of 10
I picked a number from 1 to 20 and put it in (xΒ²)Β²
No sane teacher would expect you to either
So, I should
Β² - from 1 to 20
Β³ - from 1 to 10
And then just say that's enough?
u could factorize the number and then find groups of 2 numbers
to find the sqrt of 28561
I mean all the discussion above has been relating to answering what the square/cube root of a number is at a glance
To do that you should probably memorise those yes
Otherwise youd need to do work by noting down the prime factors of the number

What should I do in this question?
probably split (t^2+5)^(n+1) as (t^2+5)^n * (t^2+5) and use ibp
I was trying to solve for n=1
but how do I integrate $I_2 = \int_{0}^{x} \frac{1}{(t^2 + 5)^2}$
Prathmesh
Integration by parts works fine
Differentiate 1/(t^2 + 5)^n and integrate 1
You'll end up with $I_n = \frac{x}{(x^2 + 5)^n} + 2n \int_0^x \frac{t^2}{(t^2 + 5)^{n+1}}\dd{t}$
jewels!
Inside the integral do a + 5 - 5 and after a bit of moving things around you'll have what you need

Okay so, the question here is not exactly what I want to ask
But a slightly different version of it, what if we're allowed move diagonally to the left
Then how would I do the problem
How did you do it originally?
oh no right mb you end up with 3 options per
maybe fill in each letter with the number of ways to get to it
recursion isnt allowed?
diagonally to the left is not mentioned here
Not really, just that the topic is addition and multiplication
And also, you should recognise what pattern you end up with if you do what CherryMan is suggesting
i mean id do it this way
yeah, I asked a slightly different version of it
and if you change the question then you cant always expect to still be able to solve it with the same method
You're not really doing anything more complicated than adding three numbers together at a time, in order to generate the structure
Hmm, yeah you're right
okay thanks y'll

goated method
trinomial triangle π―
I would love a method that can get me answer in a single calculation
That was what I looking for lol
That requires overgeneralisation, to an extent that it's like the "Bill Gates with a massive ping pong paddle" meme
well there is a solution to the recursion
β Original question: #help-36 message
but thats just overcomplicated
all linear recursions are solvable
Yeah you're right
Wait, so just solve the recursions ?
Okay i'll try, I'll be back if I'm stuck thanks

It would be great if someone can check my working of this problem
So took the base case when all the diagonals are drawn from a vertex to others
Then I generated other cases by rotating one diagonal at the time
After n-3 rotations, all the diagonals should be drawn from the next vertex to others
Repeat this process n times
Notice that we always have to choose two consecutive sides, for two of the triangles
@tiny kraken The remaining triangles always contain only one side of the polygon for an n-gon
one problem with your approach is that
- its not clear that you indeed get every option
- its not clear that you get every option exactly once
that's two problems, mr can't count /j
I'm a mathematician, of course I cant count
Hm, so is it wrong? or do I need to reason for that
dunno about wrong. but those things are certainly problematic and without addressing those its definitely not right
sorry the chapter is addition and multiplication so don't really want to use combinations 
mb. Looked combinatorial
okay I'll fix it, gimme min
if it's possible
you're right it is wrong 
I'll deal with this problem tomorrow then, it's late here
Thank you all
so principle of counting?

its ez
I don't want to rely too much on the technique
I meant rely on combinations if that makes sense lol

hello! i was wondering if this is legal math
i just wanna confirm that the way i did it is okay to do
You're taking the natural log of both sides, not multiplying both sides by ln
looks fine other than that
continuity
ohhh thanks for the clarification, iβll make sure to fix that!
thanks so much!!

In the computation of the curvature of this curve, why is the absolute value of the denominator taken?
Stupid question

Looks good so far
itβs right answer then?
Well you're not really done yet, still 1 step to do
What step
The answer should be a number, but you have x and y
I donβt see where they give me it
||The first line of the question||
I change it to sin(u+v)?
Yeah, given it's =x
Ok I got 2e is that right
Seems good to me

alright i need help
!da2a
No need to ask βCan I askβ¦?β or βDoes anyone know aboutβ¦?ββitβs faster for everyone if you just ask your question!
im typing the instructions
theres a quadrilateral that can have a circle inside it, AD=a, AB=2a. then theres a line that divides ADC in half, and it intersects AC at point E: AE/CE=2/3. the perimeter is 84 and cosADC=1/16
Well the first step would be to draw a diagram
and i need to find the radius of 2 circles, triangle ACD is inside circle 1 and triangle ABC is inside circle 2
its like that ig
so uh now idk, any clue would be helpful, im awful at geometry
i thinnk you could use incenter theorm for this
incenter?
its the meeting point of 3 medians
its the same distance from all sides
so you could find incenter
then plug both incenter andd the point perpendicular to it on a line to find the radius
can you walk me through it? im not familiar with it




Hmm
