Is it possible that 2p-q and 2p+q are integer factors of 25 if the only integer factor of 25 is 5?
nooo
ohhhh
and p and q has to be the same
so like straight after that i'd say "therefore there are no positive integers"
or wtva
Hmm not exactly. You would need 2p-q =5 and 2p+q = 5. You can check that this can't work unless q is zero.
And yeah you would explain why it's a contradiction and therefore conclude that no such positive integers exist.
trueee
Thank you so much azyr
Ok nicee im feeling more confident :) thank u

Since $T_n(\frac{1}{1+x})= \sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^k x^k$ then $T_{n+1}(\log(1+x)) = \sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^k\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1}$ I see that if we say $j=k+1$ the sum is $\sum_{j=1}^{n+1} (-1)^{j-1} \frac{x^j}{j}$ which partial matches what we have but our upper obund and (-1) match. I don't see how we can alter the indicies of the sum anymore without changing $x^j/j$
Do you know how to simplify (-1)^2
in what sense? that is just 1
And do you know what j - 1 + 2 equals?
j+1
You didn't change your lower index in the sum to j
BigBen
What two things are you trying to match exactly
so in the first image we have a sum that is equal to the taylor polynomial of log(1+x)
Of nth degree yea
so I applied the integration property to the nth degree taylor polynomial of 1/1+x
I integrated the sum but after changing bounds I don't see how some of the terms can match
What terms exactly do you think not matches
What order is the resulting Taylor series polynomial from the theorem
our sums are identical besides these two
n+1. but he somehow changes it to n
while keeping x^k/k the same
what am I missing?
use this
and this
then you shouldn't be comparing two things that shouldn't be the same and expect them to be the same
T_(n+1) should no be T_(n) in general

“Rectangle with diagonals of length d. The diagonals form four angles, two of which are 30 degrees and the other two are 150 degrees. What is the area of the triangle?” The answer is d^2/4 . I get d^2/2. i dont know where i did my mistake. Can someone point it out or do it themselves but solve it by doing my method? Please and thank u!

can someone explain why we are saying |x|<|w| in the inductive hypothesis
(definition of reversal)
for those who don't know ε is the empty string and • refers to concatenation
They're doing induction on the length of w, so they're assuming that (xz)^r = z^r x^r whenever |x| < |w| and they're showing that (wz)^r = z^r w^r from that.
what do you mean by 'on the length of w'?
They kind of went out of order and proved the base case after but it doesn't matter.
I mean that we're considering the "previous cases" of induction to be strings shorter than w
but arent the 'next cases' strictly strings that are 1 longer than w?
This is more akin to strong induction if you're familiar with that.
yeah i am
So this is what they're doing. They're assuming what they want to show holds for any string shorter than w and then concluding that is holds for w as well
oh wait, the basis step is w itself?
The base case is |w| = 0, i.e. w is the empty string.

yep thats right
Wha
cos(360+x)=cos(x)
That's periodic property
Cos(180-x)=-cos(x)
That's supplementary property
imagine a semi circle, it has an angle of 180 degrees
suppose an angle x inside the semi circle, 180-x would just be x mirrored along the center of the semi-circle hence the cos value is negative
might lowk be more confusing
@gritty flume Has your question been resolved?
cosine repeats its value every 2pi radians or 360degrees, so $\cos(x)=\cos(360+x)=\cos(2(360)+x)=\cos(n(360)+x)$ for positive integer values for n. \ So in our case of $\cos(540-x)$ we can split up 540 into 360+180 so $\cos(540-x) = \cos(360+180-x)$ and we know the 360 part adds nothing since it will repeat the value of $\cos(180-x)$ we can work with $\cos(180-x)$. \ And if you wanted to you could expand this using $\cos(A+B) = \cos(A)\cos(B)-\sin(A)\sin(B)$ which gives us $\cos(180-x)=\cos(180)\cos(-x)-\sin(180)\sin(-x)$. \ this simplifies to $-\cos(x)-0(-\sin(x)) \implies \cos(180-x) = -\cos(x) \implies \cos(540-x)=-\cos(x)$

hopefully that helps

im trying to solve 10! + 8! and so far ive done 10*9*8!+8! = 10²*8! .
but for some reason its false??? can i understand why
to add up isnt the formula supposed to be n + (n-1)! + (n-1)! = (n+1) + (n-1)!
what does ‘solve’ mean here
like the simplest anwser
why would that be true?

i dont know how to demonstrate this trigonometric identity
cos^2 x + tan^2 x - 1 = tan^2 x sin^2 x
1 - sin^2 x + sin^2 x/cos^2 x - 1
-sin ^2 x + sin^2 x/cos^2 x = tan^2 x sin^2 x
stuck here
You ultimately want sin^2(x) and both terms on the left have sin^2(x) in common, so perhaps factor it out first.
Not quite
You should still have two terms in the second factor after you factor sin^2(x) out.
like that
Yes,
Can you write 1/cos^2(x) as something else?
sec^2(x)
Does rewriting -1 + 1/cos^2(x) with that yield some identity you know of?
which identity
Something like $\tan^2(x) + 1 = \sec^2(x)$.
Azyrashacorki
No. What do you have left in the second factor if you write 1/cos^2(x) as sec^2(x)?
-1 and sin^2(x)
I mean you could do that
No. You had $\sin^2(x)\left(-1 + \frac{1}{\cos^2(x)}\right)$
Azyrashacorki
Yes
Why is there an addition
wasnt it -sin?
Yes but you factored sin^2(x) out
oh we factored it
Leaving -1
true yeah
wait yeah we gotta remove it cause its multiplying the sin(x) with the parantheses right
Yeah well you're just left with $\sin^2(x)(\tan^2(x) + 1 - 1) = \sin^2(x)(\tan^2(x))$

Anyone know the formula for this? I don’t want the answer cuz I wanna try it on my own 🙂
I'm not familiar with this field but, if it will be helpful, you can think of the given information as (population grows / population shrinks)
for example, immigration is like the population shrinking.
iirc, apes defines the growth rate as
$$\frac{\text{(births + imm)} - \text{(deaths + emi)}}{\text{total pop.}} \times 100$$

How can i do this question easily and otheother queations like this?
it is gcse standard question
It just itself + 0.2 of itself
so i just do 350 x 0.2?
350+350*0.2
it says 420
yea
whewhen i see thrse sort of questions how do i remember ?
70% of the number is 350, how are you saying 120% is 420
Please forget everything min has said in this channel
Are you familiar with any algebra
yes
Ah wait I forgot about that one 😂
You're given 70% of x is 350
yes
70x = 350
Then find 120% of x
70/100 * 350
No...
you divide by 70/100
@oak shore
Brother write an equation for x first
Let's not skip steps
Especially when you don't understand what you're doing
if u kno 70% is 350 then divide to find 1% 350/70 = 5 then multiply by the precent u want 5 x 120 = 600

How do I go from here?
forgot to add the - between the two logs in final line of working

Oh this integral
I'd not start with this approach in general
,w inverse of f(x) = (1 - x)/(1 + x)
right so if you multiply the inside of the log with e^(-x), and sub e^(-x), the resulting function is its own inverse
so like $\frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1} \frac{e^{-x}}{e^{-x}} = \frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1}$ ?
KB
if multiplying by e^-x/e^-x does nothing then whats the point in doing it?
It's just a manipulation that helps us get the integrand into a more workable form
mhm ok, so just multiply it through and dont simplify then
then sub what we get as u and go from there?
Yeah
ok, lemme see
I meant rewrite the argument as $\displaystyle \frac{1 - e^{-x}}{1 + e^{-x}}$ and then substitute it for $u$
wilson
Else you could first substitute e^-x for u and then (1 - u)/(1 + u) for v
ok yea i got that
so do we get $\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{0} \ln{u} \frac{(1+e^{-x})^2}{2e^{-x}}du$
KB

oh i missed up didnt i
I made a YouTube video about this integral let me go have a quick look
[ -\int e^x \ln \frac{1 - e^{-x}}{1 + e^{-x}} e^{-x} \dd{x} ]
wilson
excuse parentheses
?
so after this you should have
wilson
,w differentiate (1 - x)/(1 + x)
how did you end up with the 1/2?
thats a great question
no worries
<@&268886789983436800>
<@&268886789983436800>
Right well do you get how we got to here?
although there is one thing, where does the - sign come from here?
Oh there's meant to be a second - there to cancel it out mb
I multiplied and divided by -e^(-x) to set the differential up
It makes carrying substitutions out mentally very fast
oh i c
So over here -e^-x dx becomes du
yep
i did 2 e^-x
rather than 1 e^-x and 1 e^x
okay that looks better
then we set v = 1-u/1+u
Did you do it properly?
i hope i did
so like b4 i did the v-sub
ah how do i rewrite u in terms of v
so when i get $\int_{0}^1 -\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{u} \ln{v} (1+u)^2 dv$ is that correct (ish)
KB
its just getting to this part i dont understand
Yep, in the definition
[ u = \frac{1 - v}{1 + v} \Leftrightarrow v = \frac{1 - u}{1 + u} ]
so $-\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^1 \frac{1}{v} \ln(v) (1+v)^2 dv$
That's not what I meant
This is what I meant
v=1/u
But this was your sub?
yes
mm, i still dont really understand but its just the one step I can go over later, so uh to go from here im also lost 😭
i dont think another sub would help would it
oh well we can simplify the 1+v and the 1/(1+v)^2
wilson
yes
So we can substitute 1/u = (1 + v)/(1 - v), ln (1 - u)(1 + u) = ln v, and du as well
And you end up with this
mhm that makes more sense
you do sub a little different than me so i think that's why mine looks weird
im working through it
so just to clarify, we should simplify it to: $2\int_{0}^1 \frac{\ln v}{(1-v)(1+v)} dv$
KB
since we can cancel a factor of 1+v from the numerator and denominator
Yep
then expand it out to get 1-v^2 on the denominator?
Yep that works
if only the ln(v) was like k, so we had k/1-k^2 and this would be easy
Have you done competition/advanced integration before?
nope
Okay, so here the most straightforward thing you could do is use the Taylor series
Are you familiar with $\displaystyle \frac 1{1 - z} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} z^k$ for $\abs{z} < 1$
wilson
That's fine
We can write that with a limit if you want to be formal
z being a complex number a presume
mhm ok
wilson
we could have something like $\int_{0}^1 \ln(v) \frac{1}{1-z}dv$ where $z=v^2$ thus we get $\int_{0}^1 \ln(v) \sum_{k=0}^{infty} z^k dv$
idk how to do sums in latex
Yes
but hopefully that is readable
\[ \int_0^1 \ln v \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (v^2)^k \dd{v} \]
wilson
(hopefully that TeX is readable to you)
Do you understand the math?
in what way
Do you get why this is the same integral
yea
Right
So now we can take the summation outside the integral
I'll also add the 2 back that we've been dropping
[ 2\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \int_0^1 v^{2k} \ln v \dd{v} ]
wilson
All good?
so uh, why can we take the sum out the integral - ive seen this done many of times so it feels as if you can always do it but isnt there conditions that have to be satisfied for it?
i pretty much take it as if i have an integral and a sum i can always interchange them bc ive never had a case where i cant
Well you can't always do it, you need absolute convergence
But for most integrals, you can sort of cheese it by knowing that you can do it
Because if you couldn't you wouldn't be able to solve the problem

that's funny
Do you have an idea with how to proceed
ibp?
Yep
we need so many variables and subs loll, let alpha = v^2k and dalpha = 2kv^2k-1 dv = ln(v), v = vlnv - v
nevermind that
thats terrible
Choose to differentiate ln v and integrate the polynomial term
Sure, whatever works, I don't use that terminology at all
or a and b
whatever works
ah so for integral of v^2k with respect to v, is it 1/2k+1 v^2k+1
yep
where did the v^2k+1 go
Yep
this looks terrible
That term outside the integral collapses to 0
so limits
so we get -2sum[integral thing]
wilson
what happened to the v
So now you're just left with a series
wilson
oh so the integral just becomes 1/(2k+1)
Do you know how to evaluate this?
we never learnt how to evaluate series...
but just add first few terms to get an idea for the answer
Do you know the Basel problem
pi^2/6
[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6} ]
wilson
Do you think you could use it to evaluate our sum?
the 2k+1 doesnt really matter in this context does it
wdym
as in, let W = 2k+1, so we get the form of -2sum[1/W^2] = -2 pi^2 / 6
so we get -pi^2/12
Oh you can't do that
oh well
wilson
Any ideas?
subtract them
Works
wilson
What next?
im still writing it 1sec
i should really try to figure this one out, bc you have pretty much walked me through each step of this
Try writing it back in sigma notation on the left
lol
well
these are the odd numbers
KB
KB
and thats just basel problem multiplied by 1/4
now sub it back
S=pi^2/6 - pi^2/24 = pi^2/8
so -pi^2/4
ehem
you saw nothing
i needa work on my integration holy

Again i know youre going to apply the perimeter of a sector formula, and get an equation probably that gives the two answers, but i cant figure out how to do it
yeah
its going to be twice the radius, and the arc length
its gonna be like 2r + theta / 360 x 2πr
60/360
simplify that fraction
1/6
2r + 1/6 x 2πr
what is 1/6 * 2
1/3
what is your equation now
2r + 1/3πr
can you make this in the form of r(cpi + k)
c is 1/3 and k is 2
and you are done!

hey need help with this
did you multiply x inside
ye
can you show the full context?
Can you post the original
okay one second
okay it's in swedish but
rotate y around the y-axis
determine the volume
Oh and so you are apply the shell method
heck yeah
But one important note, you must not pull out x outside the integral
oh okey
yes
One hint: add and subtract one in the numerator
oh right
x/(x²+1) and -1/(x²+1)
what is (x^2+1)'
I meant the derivative of x²+1 which is simply 2x
yes
so notice you can make the numerator the derivative of the denominator
ye
Yeah you can also do substitution with u=x²+1
yes

you have a question?
no
if you're looking to ask a math question feel free to ask in a help channel. if you are looking to just talk go over to #discussion or #chill
i am trying to reach math above what we get in 8th grade , help , what do i start with
you can go over to #discussion or #chill to just talk to people. these help channels are purely for math questions
starting 9th grade
what grade math do yall know
theres all levels of math experts here
can you train fast calculations
or is it smth you get at birth
you can talk in #math-discussion or #study-discussion
i guess man
yeah you can train it defo
thats done by practice. we arent here to "train you" also this is not your help channel so either create a help channel if you have a math question or go to #study-discussion

How do i determine if word problem wants combination or permutation. I know the differnce is that combination is when the order dosen't matter and permutation is when it matters.
see if switching the order around changes it to a different thing or it doesnt matter
if you need to hire 3 people, the order you hire them in doesnt matter
if you need to hire 3 people to three different places though, the order you hire them in does matter because a different person being in a different job counts as being a different thing
"5C3 to choose 3 people out of 5 to hire"
"5P3 to hire, out of 5 people, into these 3 different job positions"
So shoudl the first thing i see is if I swap the roles around will the whole thing change?
So the question state, A team needs to select two seniors to be co-captains. There are five qualified seniors, how many different choices are there.
Would it be combination because even if I switch the orders there will still be 2 senior captains
yea

I'm interested in showing $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3})\subseteq \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})$
Wai
$(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^2=5+2\sqrt{6}$, then $5-2\sqrt{6}$ is in the field too. So we have $\sqrt{6}$ is in the field
Wai
Wai
so $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}$ are too
Wai
I don't get why I need to show the degrees of the extensions are the same?
Can we assume that 1,sqrt2 and sqrt3 are linearly independent?
they are over Q yea
oh, those are seperate questions
mbmb
thought those were hints 😭
It should also be kind of a hint
Try to think of the elements in those two as vectors in R^3
well, in reality it would be Q^3. you get the idea anyways.
If R^3 is the set of all real valued vectors, Q^3 is the set of all rational valued vectors.
√2,√3 aren's spanned by rationals
Yea, but you can think of them as directions
Q1 = Q[√2,√3] = {a+b√2+c√3 : a,b,c in Q}
Q2 = Q[√2+√3] = {a+b√2+b√3 : a,b in Q}
sure, but √6 is part of the field extension too

Here is my question:
The question below is just as it is. There is no other information given. I can simply just graph it on Desmos, however, I won't understand the math behind it. Any help?
P.S. I prob won't reply for a long time, I'm going to bed.
if f is increasing then f(x) > f(y) when x > y
so it suffices to show 3x + 1 > x - 5
yeah they mean square both sides
If you can't reply I think you shouldn't occupy a help channel. Maybe try a help forum instead. Also this channel probably will close due to timeout
well
i mean i guess my proof just solves the inequality
but maybe they want you to do some algebra like frowny said
wait is squaring both sides all i have to do..?
im pretty sure i have to find the domains i think...?
wait also sqrt(3x+1) always be greater than sqrt(x-5) since it rises faster and starts and (-1,0) and since sqrt(x-5) rises slower and starts and (5,0)?
umm rethink that
yeah the domain thing is still important
okay i wont be here for long so imma close this channel and use the help forum.

can someone help me, I’m doing trig functions and learning about the period but I haven’t learnt it in pi form before
what is the issue mate
π means 180°
Then you can find all the other angles, such as π/2 = 90°, 2π = 360° and so on and so forth
For example if n=180° then θ=π
n is the angle in degree
If n=360° then θ=2π
It's just the formula for converting the units
Ic ic
Tysm everyone
but how do calculate the period
he’s doing this but idk wht this is
For Asin(Bx - C) your period is going to be 2pi/|B|
B = 1/2 in the pic u sent
do I change the pi to 180
no
oh
I mean thafs ok then
But u gotta learn
Radian is everywhere
You cant escape it
The formula becomes 360°/|B| in degrees
oki Ty
erm how do Ik one full cycle for sin
Is it when the graph touches the line again
The x line
Ok
I feel like you are really better off watching some khan academy vids about trig functions
ok

Factorize 8a^6 + 5a^3 + 1
Putting a^3 = x, the expression becomes 8x^2 + 5x + 1, which does not have a nice factorization.
try making it into a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc
good first thought 👍 (even if it's wrong here)
well if you observe 8a^6 and 1 are already perfect cubes; you can't tamper with them. try to rewrite the 5a^3 term.
E = (2a^2)^3 + (1)^3 + (-a)^3 - 3(2a^2)(1)(-a)
$E = (2a^2)^3 + (1)^3 + (-a)^3 - 3(2a^2)(1)(-a)$
