idk what makes you that think
sin(x) and cos(x) have both the same image [-1,1]

you only need to know that there is this maximum, you dont need a calculator and specific value
if you know 2cos(x) is at most 2, then 2cos(x)=3 should immediately ring bells to you
yeah...

Asking the actual question right away is more likely to get responses.
Asking "Can I ask...?" or "Does anyone know about...?" doesn't give people enough information to decide whether they can help, and answering can feel like a promise to help with the actual question, which they might find themselves unable to.
ya got any question to ask?
yea how do u solve implicit differentiation if there's a dy/dx on both sides of the equation
x³ + y3 = 6xy
that for example
differentiate both sides and put everything on the same side (or put everything on the same side and differentiate)
x³ + y³ = 6xy
3x² + 3y²(dy/dx) = 6(1)(y) + (x)(dy/dx)
3x² + 3y²(dy/dx) = 6y + 6x(dy/dx)
3y²(dy/dx) -6x(dy/dx) = 6y -3x²
dy/dx(3y² - 6x) = 6y -3x²
dy/dx = (6y - 3x²) / (3y² -6x)
is this correct
seems correct to me
yes
alr thanks goat
2nd line is missing a 6 but otherwise perfect
6[(1)(y) + (x)(dy/dx)]
does this work too
thx

$\mathbb{F}_p$ means a polynomial modulo a prime $p$ right?
ihave<skissue>
what does $\mathbb{F}_p/\langle x^d-1\rangle$ mean then? isnt it like both modulo $p$ and $x^d-1$?
ihave<skissue>
yeah i dont get any of this set theory (?) notation 
No it’s \mathbb{F}_{p^n} if I’m not wrong
Oh it’s not working like that
no spaces
$\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$
ℳ
yes that's it
does it even make sense to be reduced by 2 modulos at once
well you have coefficients mod p and polynomials that satisfy x^d=1

er
what does the second part mean
so like, under (is that the term?) $\mathbb{F}_p/\langle x^d-1\rangle$, the coefficients of the polynomial is reduced mod $p$, and the degrees is reduced mod $d$?
ihave<skissue>
and the end result would be some polynomial which is equivalent to p(x) mod x^d-1? but what about the mod p
you could think of it like that i guess
you apply that on the coefficients
the coefficients only?
if it was like 4x^3 then would it become like x or something
mmmmmm i see i see
here we used also x^2-1=0
ok wait maybe im silly but what does F represent
some field
also you should use F[x] to represent the field on polynomials
oh yeah i forgot about that, mb
it's a ring where every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse
so on R we can divide for example as we usually do
you can also work with rings btw
and... whats a ring 
well you basically have some set where you can multiply and add stuff, but you dont have necessarily multiplicative inverses, unlike in fields
hmmm ok i see
For exemple $\mathbb{Z}$ is a ring
you should review groups, rings and fields, they come like in this: groups > rings > fields, like each structure builds up on the previous
\
Lin Xia
yes sorry
all g
for say like F[x], what would be the multiplicative inverse of x? would it be like 1/x? or does the notion of multiplicative inverse need some modulo?
honestly i was just trying to solve a problem, and the only solutions i found involved the notations of fields. i havent studied group theory yet, so thats probably why im so clueless rn 
uhm F[x] is not necessarily a field, it means you have polynomials with coefficients from the field F
it's a polynomial ring
oh?
ok ok i think i get it
yes for the same reason F[X] is not a field
one last thing, do you even need to use F, or is it just an arbitrary name to call a field
it's a convention
In your document it is $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ that is a specific field
ok i see
Lin Xia
huh why p^n
or is that just another convention, where were only specifically dealing with n=1
no it's based on a theorem, that a finite field has order of some prime power
It is a construction : for any $n$ you can build a field whose cardinality is $p^n$
Lin Xia
And it is named $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$
{}
Lin Xia
ahah yes
generally if i have an n-degree polynomial irreducible mod p, then i can quotient Z/pZ[x] wrt said polynomial to get a finite field of order p^n
you can try it yourself, too; for example, get a quadratic irreducible mod 2 and quotient Z/2Z[x] wrt said quadratic. you'll get a field with order 4
and so on

what the whar
what does Z/2Z mean
ohh
nvm
ok interesting
thank you so much you guys!

Oh
._.
you can just plug alpha=0 and alpha=1 and find the area separately
im cofused
cuz when u plug alpha =0,1
u dont get f(0) + f(1)
you don't have to find closed form of f(x)
if they say find f(0), then replace alpha with 0
and then wht to do
@tiny kraken can u give me 10 min, gotta eat
brb
sryy
what would the last equation be if alpha=0
okay
thansk
@fringe bane Has your question been resolved?
bhai fir integrate kar from the corner points
okay just replace alpha with 0 then find the area, really

Well that's the same. $2\cos(t) \sin(t) = \sin(2t)$

What is -3i times 3i
well what is "i"
Imaginary
sqrt of -1 right?
Yeah
Okay so we can multiply the real parts seperately here right?
so what would you be left with after simplifying this?
-3i?
uhm sorry?
okay lets say you have to find the product of -3x and 3x what would it be?
not quite right
Uhh lemme think
That’s weird cs in the video I’m watching
The equation goes like this
(2-3i)(2+3i)
And they get
Using foil
They get
4+6i-6i-3i^2
well?
That’s what I initially thought as well
But no according to her it’s -3^2
Should we get a third opinion
?
Okay whats 3^2?
not required for now
,calc 3i * -3i
Result:
9
9
did you just interpret your teacher wrong
-3i times 3i is -9i
what no?
This is her work
sure send it across
yeah she has done it wrong sadly
this is wrong yes
Its hould have been 9
How do I tell my teacher she is wrong?
not that hard. be a good person about it
Ah well point out politely that it should have been 9
ask your parents how to be nice
No the thing is I’m missing 13 assignments in her class so why would she listen to me 😭
If shes a good teacher she will own up to her mistake dw you are not the first person to be in such a situation
Thats fine!
Atleast doing this would show her that you actually care about the assignments!
But on the othwr hand do please complete your assignments!!

Hello
Can someone explain me how to use laplace transform
(in the future, please lead with the question so that the bot pins it!)
Ok
it mostly boils down to reading the relevant table (see the table on the right of the image)
if you look at the first two entries of the left table, you ssee that you can distribute the laplace transform across constant multiples and addition. after distributing out, you should be able to get to one of the entries on the right
you should treat all constant functions as multiplied by u(t) for this exercise
For F1(t) and F2(t) u mean ?
But what is the "a" in the first thing on the right table
A number like 3
read the sample exercises
https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/classes/de/LaplaceIntro.aspx
In this chapter we introduce Laplace Transforms and how they are used to solve Initial Value Problems. With the introduction of Laplace Transforms we will not be able to solve some Initial Value Problems that we wouldn’t be able to solve otherwise. We will solve differential equations that involve Heaviside and Dirac Delta functions. We wi...
In this section we ask the opposite question from the previous section. In other words, given a Laplace transform, what function did we originally have?

Im working on my homework for AP Calculus BC, and I am struggling with some basic questions that are kind of awkward to Google. Right now I am doing some very basic Antiderivates and Indefinite integral homework. The first problem is to find the indefinte integral of x^3 -2. I know to separate the two into two separate integrals and then solve. If I make Constants for both of those does my answer become 2C...? I have a very lackluster foundational understanding of calculus because I didn't take precalc and I am basically self teachign the course... sos pls send help :(
C stands for anything, so you should really have a different constant for every integral
but then if you add two constants, you get another constant
so really you can just use one constant for the whole thing
so I should be getting [x^4/4 + C] + [-2x + K]. Which i could rewrite to be x^4/4 -2x + C + K?
yeah
sure
would K be negative? according to the integral rule my notes have, the negative signs gets pulled in front of the integral
which would make it distribute to the whole chunk after I integrate
it doesn't really matter because both K and -K are arbitrary constants
oh true
similarly, C + K is another arbitrary constant
On an AP test would there be a huge chance I get marked points for not writing dx at the end of all my integrals if they are "basic" ones

Given integers a, b, and c greater than 1 satisfying a(abc+2c-b^2)=a+2b-3c, prove that abc is the square of an integer.

Well maybe you could start by distributing the a within the first equasion and moving everything to one side?
You could also note how abc = d^2 where d is an integer greater than 1

Do you know how to prove that a subset of a vector space is a subspace ?
a little bit yeah
can you explain ?
W is subspace of V if
a,b belongs to W then a-b belongs to w
a belongs to filed and alpha belongs to w then aalpha belongs to w
ok
So here
x,y belongs to R
alpha,beta belongs to W
xalpha+ybeta belongs to W then it is subspace of W
btw you can just verify that $x\alpha + y\beta$ belongs to $W$ for every $x,y\in\mathbb{R}, \alpha,\beta\in W$ it will prove both of your conditions
Lin Xia
How do you continue ?
I am not getting w in the question properly
$W$ is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ so you can describe its elements with triplets of elements of $\mathbb{R}$ right ?
$(a,b,c) + (a',b',c') = (a+a',b+b',c+c')$
@pine sand Has your question been resolved?

✅ Original question: #help-36 message
.
I am still confused with variables
ok so you want to show that $x\alpha + y\beta$ belongs to $W$ for every $x,y\in\mathbb{R}, \alpha,\beta\in W$
Lin Xia
Every element of $\mathbb{R}^3$ can be written with triplet of $\mathbb{R}$
Lin Xia
So you take $\alpha,\beta\in W$ and you can say there exist $(a,b,c)\in\mathbb{R}^3$ and $(a',b',c')\in\mathbb{R}^3$ such that $\alpha = (a,b,c)$ and $\beta = (a',b',c')$
Lin Xia
Now you just have to verify that $x\alpha + y\beta$ belongs to $W$
Lin Xia
Is that clear ?
x(3a-4b+c)+y(a+2b-c) belongs to W
We have to check this am i right?
@kindred mortar
a(3x+y)+b(-4x+2y)+c(x-y)
no
this are the relations that the coordinates verify to be in W
You have to compute the coordinates of $x\alpha + y\beta$
Lin Xia
That is why i am confused with triplets addition properly
Then you will check if this element verify the conditions to be in W
Yes i understand
Can you write xalpha for me?
Sure
Yes please
If $\alpha = (a,b,c)$ then $x\alpha = (xa,xb,xc)$
Lin Xia
I see
basically it is operations coordinate by coordinate
x(3a-4b+c),x(a+2b-c)
Same principle for addition of elements of R^3
nonono
First of all you have to compute coordinates of $x\alpha + y\beta$
Lin Xia
Lets say $\alpha$ is (a,b,c) and $\beta = (a',b',c')$
Lin Xia
What are the coordinates of $x\alpha + y\beta$ ?
Lin Xia
Do you think you can find $x\alpha + y\beta$ coordinates ?
Lin Xia
alpha=(a,b,c)
xalpha+ybeta=x(3a-4b+c,a+2b-c)+y(3a'-4b'+c,a'+2b'-c')
Forget about the definition of W
Lets say W is any subset of R^3
You want to verify if it is a subspace
The method is the same for every subset W
You have to take two elements (\alpha,\beta) of W and verify that for any (x,y)\in R, x\alpha + y\beta is in W
So the first step is always to compute $x\alpha + y\beta$
Lin Xia
and then we verify if it is in W
SO
$x\alpha + y\beta = x(a,b,c) + y(a',b',c') = ...$
Can you continue this ?
Lin Xia
a,b,c are elements of $\mathbb{R}$
Lin Xia
wdym ?
I am lost
I can't explain
Do yo agree with the method i exposed ?
Yeah
Please make it correct
The answer is $x\alpha + y\beta = (xa+ya',xb+yb',xc+yc')$
Lin Xia
What you wrote here cant be correct and it's easy to detect because alpha and beta are triplet while your LHS is composed of doublet.
@pine sand does it make sense to you ?

hello; is this, like, something I should be able to figure on my own? It's from a textbook:
"0.5 If C is a set with c elements, how many elements are in the power set of C? Explain
your answer."
Below I will use n instead of c to denote the cardinality of C.
for {} → { {} } it's just 1
for {x} → { {}, {x} } it's 1 + 1
Clearly the power set will always contain an empty set, and the set C itself.
for {x, y} → { {}, {x}, {y}, {x,y} }, so 1+n+1
We get an additional term, n, because there will be n sets containing 1 element
for {x, y, z} → { {}, {x}, {y}, {z}, {x,y}, {x,z}, {z,y}, {x,y,z} } so 1 + n + n(n-1)/2 + 1
We get an additional term, n(n-1)/2, because the amount of subsets containing 2 elements is the same as the amount of edges in an undirected graph excluding self-loops (n^2 total edges minus n self-loops).
for {a, b, c, d} →
{ {},
{a}, {b}, {c}, {d},
{a,b}, {b,c}, ...,
{a,b,c}, ...,
{a,b,c,d} }
Again, I have 1 + n + n(n-1)/2 + 1 as before except I add the amount of subsets with 3 elements. In this case (n=4) there is 6n/6 = n of them (i figured it out graphically but I've no idea if it holds for n>4).
i don't see a pattern nor can I think of a different approach. I have already checked the answer: the cardinality the power set of A is 2^n where n is the cardinality of A. But I don't see it at all
instead of all this n stuff.... how about you make a table of number of elts in C vs number of elts in powerset of C
0 -> 1
1 -> 2
2 -> 4
continue?
well, I don't really see a reason for the pattern to hold indefinitely
what pattern?
the cardinality of the power set going: 1 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → ... → n^2
doubling each time?
yeah
each elt can either be in the set or not
This is an elementary result about powersets
Minor correction: 2^n, not n^2
yeah I mistyped ;-;
Unfortunately elementary results aren't axioms. They can and should be proven and have intuition behind them
Do you see why Hayley said this
-# (also hey Hayley, if you want to continue here say the word and I'll leave)
i'm thinking about it but I'm not sure
Have you done any combinatorics
(since you have the undergrad math role, I'm assuming you're in college. Please correct me if I'm wrong)
i'm studying but biology; The only math education I received is what I believe is equivalent to pre-calc. I kinda understand what a limit/differential/integral is (though that's probably irrelevant here). I'm aware the amount of permutations of n elements is n! & I understand why. I've seen the formula for combinations but I'm not sure if I could explain why does it look like that
I see I see
No worries! We can go through this slowly
Okay so a power set is the set of subsets of a given set right
I do kind-of see the relation to permutations
by taking 0 or more elements from the set and putting them in sets of their own
well, between 0 and n, inclusive, elements
I mean that's an easy way to think of it but isn't very helpful
So let's do it more systematically
We have n elements
We can arrange them somehow
Now let's pick the first element
We can either put this in the subset, or we can choose to not put this in the subset
With me so far?
so far, yes
So if you choose to not pick the first element, that is one branch of choices
If you choose to pick it, that is another branch
Now let's check the second element
We have the same choice here right?
sure
So for every element we have two choices
And the choices for each element do not depend on the choices for the other elements
oh... so it branches like this?
alright, I get it now; thank you so much
Np!

Is this a valid proof for part b. I am only concerned that I did not include the full representation of the nth Bernoulli polynomial. But I don't know how to represent that right now and I think that since its highest term is the nth one that is the only one we should focus on for trying to prove the n+1 polynomial is of degree n+1
just write $P_n(x)=x^n+\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_i x^i$ or something along those lines
Denascite
@left trail Has your question been resolved?
Ok so then it is fine to leave it as $x^{n+1}+\int \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_ix^i$
BigBen
What is "it"
The second to last line where I have the text in brackets
Better apply the integral directly to your sum and thus show that the principal coefficient of P_(n+1) is exactly 1.
By principal coefficient you mean the coefficient for x^n+1?
Yeah!
$P_{n+1}(x) = \int P_{n+1}'(x)dx$ looks a bit evasive. You should be more precise I think.
Lin Xia
Even if it doesn't change the global reasoning
But we have $(n+1)\int x^ dx which is x^{n+1}$ and we can see that it will have coefficient 1
BigBen
Are you sure because all I'm saying is that the P is equal to the integral of the deirvative of P
Yes but this is true up to a constant
The problem is that the integral of a derivative is P_{n+1}(x) + C. You have to prove that constant C exists and is unique using the problem condition otherwise your definition of P is incomplete.
What do you mean a unique constant. Unique in comparison to who? Also can't we just leave it as an arbitrary constant c since it has degree 0

I've learned that sine is the y axis of the rotating point that goes counter clockwise around a circle (of radius 1 unit)
And cosine is the x axis.
and that these are helpful in the forming of waves (sine waves and cosine waves).
I need some help in clearly understanding:
How these form the waves I mean, do u take the crest and trough as 1 unit or something and as sine reaches 1 u go to crest and - 1 u go to trough or something? not really sure how that works. If there's a significance of taking the radius of the circle of more than one unit as well.
And, what exactly is cot, tan, cosec, sec (I might know them in terms of fractions 1/sine, sine/cos etc.. But what are they)
What significance are they of

HOW SOLVE

Send working^
what does the first few terms look like?
hmm yes but i'm talking about the summation
Ouhh uhhh for sn it's using the formula for summation of AP and for Sn, ihni
What are the first few partial sums?
I don't know 😭
1
3 i think? Cause S2 would be 9 and s2 would be 3
That's not how you should be solving it tho
2nd partial sum is S1/s1 + S2/s2
but also this
Wrong channel ig
Girl how is this chem 
of course not
!occupied
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
What is Sn
What is sn
Divide Sn/sn, this is your summand
Use linearity of finite sums
Use known results for summing 1, r, r^2 etc.
Dumb it down like I'm new to this world because I might as well be
basically, do you know a formula for the sum of the first n cubes
No, there's a formula?

Do you know the formula for the first n numbers?
Yes
Write down the two side by side
This is the formula for sum of cubes of n natural numbers
Let them work it out
Or maybe derive it urself
YOU'D THINK I'D KNOWN THERE WAS A FORMULA BEFORE BUT NO THEY DON'T TEACH US NUTHIN IN SCHOOL

guys i understand the question, got to somewhere and got stuck ill explain what i did
first took a general point on parabola, drew a foot of perpendicular to y=x, intersected, found points, added and divided by two to get mid point and then tried to eliminate the variable
did all that, reached nothing

What happened to the first arctan
From step 3 takes 3/4 out first to make it less complex
i just assumed it goes to infinity so i just ignored it
What makes you able to ignore it
And tan^-1(3t/4) is pi/2 btw
cmon man
A oke
also
Didnt see
💔
thats not even correct
so technically its not spoiled
also wdym ^1
its tan^-1 or arctan
@crystal lion “ignoring” a term is not a trivial thing, yo need a justification for it
Cuz im editing

arctan tends towards pi/2?
I dont understand english much so the video is for?
youre typing in english bro
As t toward infinity
I use google translate blud😂
"blud" isnt in google translate
and neither is ^1 lol
just let frosst cook with the remaining ingredients
I know, some slangs in English i know is skibidi and kirk and blud
Frosst is gone tbf
Didnt bro see the word typo
on ice
Yes, as t tends towards infinity, that arctan tends to pi/2
But that hasn't been implemented in the working out (it looks like you've sent it to 0 instead)
but 3/4 arctan on the other hand...
ohh okk
😁☝🏾☝🏾3/4☝🏾☝🏾⚠️
what do you think 3/4 arctan would go to if arctan goes to pi/2
3/8pi?
(yeah, to clarify, I'm referring to the arctan() itself, not the term that contains the arctan()
)
arctan(t), arctan(3t/4) both go to pi/2 btw
why do you think that is
(for reference, if you had arctan(1/t) instead, that would instead go to 0 as t -> infinity)
bc theyre still the same graph whereas arctan(1/t) is a different graph?
wdym by same graph
looks same enough 😊
same shape of graph
mtt
arctan(t) and arctan(3t/4) would not go to the same value
however, arctan(t) and arctan(8 - t) would
transformations!
again no spoilers please
I gotta see what yuchanie is thinking, not what you are thinking
so for arctan(1/t), just 1/t is a reciprocal graph
but in arctan(t) and arctan(3t/4), both the inner functions for both behave like a straight line?
heres a hint
$\lim_{t\to4}\arctan(t)$ and $\lim_{t\to4}\arctan(8-t)$ are both the same number
mtt
now theres no special tricks happening right now, can you tell me what number they both go to?
4
I didnt say t and 8 - t
I said arctan(t) and arctan(8 - t)
what number would both of these limits be?
(you can just leave the word "arctan" in your answer)
arctan(4)?
mtt
arctan(3)?
yep
now you can see here t, 8-t, 3t/4 are all lines
but somehow the answer became the same for t and 8-t and different for 3t/4
now try finding this limit: $\lim_{t\to4}\arctan(t^2/4)$
mtt
arctan(4)
and if I change the /4 to a /3?
what would the answer become instead
t^2/4 and t^2/3 are both parabolas btw
arctan(16/3)
now see here there should be a different reason than "shape" for telling apart what stays at arctan(4) and what doesnt
try saying what that reason is
is that assuming that t always tends to 4 in this case?
yep
you would imagine that would always work, right
if the inside tends to 4, it should always be arctan(4)
or in general, its arctan(what the inside tends to)
yeahh
you learned this as the limit chain rule or the limit composition rule
it works since arctan is continuous
,,\lim_{t\to4}\arctan(f(t))=\arctan(\lim_{t\to4}f(t))
mtt
(oh and f is also continuous)
there might be more specific details Im leaving out here by accident, but this is the general idea
now given we've already got a rule like this,
the same also works for infinity in a way
,,\lim_{t\to\infty}\arctan(f(t))=\arctan(\lim_{t\to\infty}f(t))
mtt
so think of it this way
we know arctan(t) -> pi/2
now arctan(3t/4) -> pi/2 too
however, arctan(-t) -> -pi/2 even though -t is a line just like t is
arctan(1/t) -> 0 since 1/t -> 0 as t -> infinity
also, arctan(ln(t)) -> pi/2 too
seeing a pattern here?
pi/2?
so if the power of the inner function of t within arctan is a positive power then it will always go to pi/2 and if the power is negative then it goes to 0?
thats correct
since as t -> infinity, t^(positive) -> infinity and t^(negative) -> 0
so you get pi/2 and 0 when through arctan
and remember, this isnt special to arctan, this would work for other functions too
ahhh okk
requirement is that the functions are continuous enough
I believe its "continuous at the limit youre taking"
for example, lets say f(t) -> C
then if youre doing f(t)^2 for example, f(t) needs to be continuous at C for you to say that f(t)^2 -> C^2
(for that one, you could also just multiply f(t) by itself for product rule)
you need "f(t) -> C" for you to take the limit t -> C for arctan(f(t)), or ln(f(t)), or etc.
then itd be arctan(C), ln(C), so on

how would i know something is growth or decay
if you need concrete confirmation, test with increasing values of x. if you get larger values of f(x), it's growth. otherwise, if you get smaller values of f(x), it's decay.
so what value would i look at
if you mean what values of x, any two values would work.
i’m lost..
my teacher sent this as the key
and she’s just looking at one valid
value
then let's make it simple.
substitute x = 1 into the function, and then compute the value.
then substitute x = 2 into the function, and compute the value again.
if the value of the function at x = 2 > the value of the function at x = 1, then it's growth.
if it's the other way around, it's decay.
but my teacher is doing it by just looking at one value and that’s it
of course, this is if you want concrete confirmation.
if you are confident, you can just stare at the exponent and the base and figure out whether it will be a growth or decay that way.
what's the value of e?
2.something
and is that greater than or less than 1?
anything else?
,rcw
how does LN turn into E?
for which?
21
21?
i’m so cooked for this test
do you agree that if $a = b$ then $c^a = c^b$?
Yukari
(for some number c)
i don’t agree
cool. now, in your attempts at rearranging for x, you should get $\ln(x) = y + 3$.
Yukari
i need to get rid of ln
Hi
now, a core idea behind logarithms is that $b^{\log_b(a)} = a$.
Yukari
Do you need help with 21 question?
do you see where we're going?
is this written right
yes.
i do not see whgere ur going
note that if a log and only a log is present in an exponent, and the base of the log is the same as the base of the exponent (the b here), the answer will always be the argument of the log (the a here).
i kinda get it
now, you have $\ln(x) = y + 3$. you know that raising any nonzero real c to the power of both sides will still be equal.
and you also know that if you set this c to be equal to the base of the log on the left, then you can get x by itself.
Yukari
so the idea is now to make both sides exponents. the question you should now answer is, what is the base c? that is, $$(?)^{\ln(x)} = ?^{y+3}$$
Yukari
i am so beyond lost
right, so you understand this at least?
yes i do
and this?
so you swapped x and y. sure, if that's the method you're used to, we can work with that.
<@&268886789983436800>
I do not like that way of solving for an inverse, but sure, I'll use what you've been taught.
you get then, after swapping, x = ln(y) - 3.
in your process of solving for y, you will get ln(y) = x + 3.
do you agree thus far?
why not?
beacuse dont we have to switch it? why would we switch it back to Y
good. now, did you get this?
sure. you know that $\log_3(81) = 4$. then, $3^{\log_3(81)} = 3^4 = 81$.
Yukari
why is ur log on the top
because we are using it as an exponent.
yes.
okay yes i have never seen that before but yes i understand
yes i just want Y
you know also that if $\ln(y) = x + 3$, then for some base c, $c^{\ln(y)} = c^{x + 3}$, as per this rule here.
Yukari
you might be wondering, why bother to do this, right?
this is where this rule comes into play.
if we pick c such that it matches the base of the log we have, then we can cancel the base with the log, leaving us with y = something.
which is what we want.
so the final step here is: what c do we pick?
so its e ^ ln(y) = e^x+3
absolutely. then on the left, you'll see this pattern.
you are now justified to cancel the base with the log in the exponent, leaving you with the y.
im not sure why we cancel but sure
because of this rule.
an example of which is seen here.
yea but how does that show canceling out e for the natrual log?
$\ln(x) = \log_e(x)$, I believe you agree?
Yukari
yes beacuse the base of ln is e
then, compare these two forms:
$$b^{\log_b(a)} = a$$
$$e^{\log_e(a)} = a$$
wouldnt it be ln (base e) = x
Yukari
or does ln turn into log when you add the base
its the same thing but with e
exactly. then, replace $log_e$ with ln to get $e^{\ln(a)} = a$.
Yukari
and that's how that rule came to be.
i see i see
ln is really just a shorthand for log base e. they mean exactly the same thing.
okay i see so if you start with e for example right and the base is log (base e)
it cancels out
cuz e = log(base e)
right
specifically, if you start with ln(x) and then raise e to that ln(x), it cancels out.
sure.
quick question since its ln(x+5) i cant take out 5 since x+5 is togethet right
so i take the whooe thing out
oh i removed the y+5 first
I'll need to see what you meant.
,rccw
but u just said to remove ln
remove it by following the rules above, not just kick it out!
