solid summit
#

so ill do this last part

#

or will it also take 1992498 hours

edgy cedar
#

Well you can probably pit this into wolfram

#

Look up what Lagrange multiplier/the Lagrangian is

#

You need to find one with 2 constraints

solid summit
#

wtf

#

help

#

wtf

#

i dont have a g(x) and f(x)

#

or do i?

edgy cedar
#

These are your constraints

solid summit
#

but i dont have x, y, z

edgy cedar
#

Your function is r(a,b)

solid summit
#

yeah

#

thats what i mean i dont have r(a, b, z)

edgy cedar
#

It’s still multi variable

solid summit
#

im so utterly lost you wouldnt believe it

#

so i cant just do the partial derivative and = 0?

edgy cedar
#

Yeah because you also have some constraints on what a and b could be

#

It’s still similar process but now you have to think about your constrains

solid summit
#

oh in that case i have a simpler expression for r

#

does that make it less aids?

edgy cedar
#

What’s this

#

It’s totally different from what you had up there

solid summit
#

this is an expression without the constraints

edgy cedar
#

Well

#

Yeah you can probably very easily optimise this

solid summit
#

pogggg

#

even with those constraints?

edgy cedar
#

Well that’s a different story

solid summit
#

fuck

edgy cedar
#

It’s still a pain bleakkekw

solid summit
#

fuckk

#

ive never seen/ used partial derivatives and now im doing this

#

can u give me any hints?

edgy cedar
#

Unfortunately there’s no hint for you

edgy cedar
#

And do basically what he did

#

Put things into wolframalpha

#

Hope for the best

#

There’s no hint because I’m not doing this

solid summit
#

:(

#

if i buy u a coffee?

#

a big coffee?

edgy cedar
#

I don’t drink coffee :3

solid summit
#

a beer?

edgy cedar
#

No alcohol either lol

#

Good luck bro

#

I’m gone

solid summit
#

fffffffffffffffff

#

ty tho

edgy cedar
solid summit
#

@edgy cedar one thing, does this count as calc?

edgy cedar
#

Yeah multi variable calc

solid summit
#

cheers

@solid summit Has your question been resolved?

solid summit
#

yo @edgy cedar, im doing it now, and the video says he needs 5 eqn, so i need 4 (one less unknown, I only have a, b, lambda and u), what eqns do i choose?

solid summit
#

uh

#

this is impossible

trim joltBOT
#

@solid summit Has your question been resolved?

edgy cedar
#

Don’t you need all of them? You need to solve for a and b

#

Tbh I haven’t done one of these in a while so I may have forgotten something

solid summit
#

ah ok

#

well

#

whatever

is it A?

vagrant marsh
#

Show work

#

I hate doing related rates

dire kraken
#

x = distance from lamp
y = shadow length

5 / (x+y) = 2/y
3y = 2x
3 * dy/dt = 2 * dx/dt
3 * dy/dt = 2 * 1.4
dy/dt = 14/15

#

my doubt is that my work didn't include the x = 10m

#

so I feel like this is wrong

#

or was that extra info

paper pond
#

can someone help me?

#

Are ye serioues rn bro

so was 10m extra info?

#

Uh yes

#

I believe so

interesting

In this case the similar triangles grow at constant rates

mortal sinew
#

I genuinely have no idea where to start or how to do this question?

mortal sinew
#

Its part b which im struggling with

sonic token
#

so like whats the nearest square below 75

mortal sinew
sonic token
#

so sqrt of 64 is 8 right

#

therefore n is 8

#

cuz an integer is just a non fraction or decimal whole number

#

u can verify this by using a calculator too

#

sqrt of 75 is around 8.66

#

and 8 <8.66< 9 is true

#

so its 8

#

hello

trim joltBOT
pallid basin
#

how u simplify this

#

it's for this problem

#

<@&286206848099549185>

fringe minnow
#

not sure what else u want

pallid basin
#

it won't work when submitted

#

ill send example of a problem

pallid basin
glacial karma
#

aye aye

#

wassup

#

do u know

#

half angle

#

formula

pallid basin
pallid basin
glacial karma
#

this doesn’t

#

seem quite right

#

to me

#

eh but I’m doing it

#

in my head

#

so I trust that’s correct

pallid basin
glacial karma
#

yeye

pallid basin
glacial karma
#

where did

#

u get 16

#

from

pallid basin
#

ohhhhh

glacial karma
#

yeye

pallid basin
#

bro im so dumb

#

lol

glacial karma
#

nah it’s fine

#

happens to

#

The best of us

pallid basin
#

fs

pallid basin
#

for this problem I have to use the double angle formulas

#

However when u multiply across there I don't know how they get that final answer

dense breach
#

they multiplied the numerators to get the final numerator

#

and multiplied denominators to get the denominator

pallid basin
dense breach
#

nah

#

They divided both sides by 2 then

pallid basin
#

so they multiplied both fractions by 1/2?

dense breach
#

both the numerator and denominator

#

They had a factor of 2 on both sides that they cancelled out

glacial karma
#

aye aye

#

wassup

#

what’s the

#

confusion?

glacial karma
#

I don’t understand

#

ur qn

#

multiply what across

pallid basin
#

since the 2 reduced the first 16 into 8?

dense breach
#

Yeah

pallid basin
pallid basin
glacial karma
#

4/11?

#

sqrt137?

pallid basin
#

it's for my problem

glacial karma
#

of a diff question

pallid basin
dense breach
#

Then you don't need to

glacial karma
#

ah alr

pallid basin
#

same type of question

#

just different figures

pallid basin
dense breach
#

Were you originally supposed to have 7√13?

#

instead of √137

#

Or did you directly get √137

glacial karma
#

how did u get

#

sqrt 137

pallid basin
glacial karma
#

,w 11^2 - 4^2

solid kilnBOT
glacial karma
#

it’s sqrt 105

#

Wait

#

lemme see ur work

pallid basin
glacial karma
#

aye bro

#

not 137

pallid basin
#

u need to get x

glacial karma
#

but adjacent is sqrt105

pallid basin
#

so u have to do the pythagorem theorem

#

idk

#

i remember doing it that way

dense breach
#

x^2+16=121

#

That part is right

#

What happened then

pallid basin
#

i added 16 instead of subtracting it

#

LOLLLLL

glacial karma
#

ah

pallid basin
#

bro what is it with me today

#

im making all the dumb mistakes

dense breach
#

it be like that sometimes

pallid basin
#

when I put this in it says it's wrong

dense breach
#

Lies in quadrant 2

#

That's relevant here

pallid basin
dense breach
#

indeed

pallid basin
dense breach
#

yeah

#

sin(theta) is positive but sin(2*theta) is negative

pallid basin
#

bros carrying me lol

dense breach
#

lol

pallid basin
#

im on tan rn

dense breach
#

Wasn't this supposed to be negative

pallid basin
pallid basin
dense breach
#

ah ok

pallid basin
dense breach
#

ah

#

denominator

#

$(\frac{-4}{\sqrt{105}})^2$

pallid basin
#

is the square root supposed to go away bc I squared it

solid kilnBOT
#

monikanicity

dense breach
#

yeah

pallid basin
#

bruh

#

everything is comong to me after I ask u bruh

dense breach
#

It be like that sometimes

pallid basin
#

bruh what is this now

dense breach
#

Simplify?

#

Including noticing the numerator is a multiple of 105

#

so rationalize the denominator

pallid basin
dense breach
#

yeah rationalize denominator

pallid basin
dense breach
#

nah

pallid basin
dense breach
#

no

pallid basin
#

wait is it where I do the factor tree and factor out 105?

dense breach
#

I mean you can try that

#

Idk exactly what you mean but it might work

pallid basin
#

nvm it won't work

#

like lets say if it was square root of 50

#

u could simplify it to 5 square root of 2

#

that;s what I meant

dense breach
#

ah ok

pallid basin
#

but 105 has no pairs so it won't work

#

idk what u mean

dense breach
#

indeed

#

multiply both sides by √105

pallid basin
#

so this?

dense breach
#

wait what happened to the bottom

pallid basin
#

well when I multiplied the √ 105 by √ 105

#

cancelled out

#

and left me with 89

dense breach
pallid basin
#

u can't leave √ 105 at the bottom

dense breach
#

√105 * √105?

pallid basin
#

oh so it's just 05

#

105

#

bc 105 x 105= 11025

#

√ 11025 = 105

dense breach
#

well that's not how I would do it but yes

pallid basin
#

so do u add the 105 with the 89?

dense breach
#

√x * √x = x always

pallid basin
#

ya

dense breach
#

nah

#

find a common factor in the bottom and top

pallid basin
#

what's the bottom number

#

bc u have the 89 too

#

so when we multiplied the √ 105 with √ 105

#

we were left with 105

#

i mean 105

#

but u have that 89 left over

dense breach
#

it's just multiplied by 105

pallid basin
#

so it's -8√ 105/89?

dense breach
#

yeah

pallid basin
dense breach
#

you're welcome

midnight jackal
#

Im not sure I'm understand what an element pf R^w is

#

is the sequence endless?

#

also is poposition 2.4.10 is Let dim(V) = dim(W). A linear transformation T: V -> W is injective if and only if it is surjective

#

from my limited understanding of this question I think dim R^w = R^w but R is not a linear transformation.

#

which is why it doesnt follow 2.4.10

harsh plover
#

Why does an object accelerate if it is changing direction

harsh plover
#

Can someone explain to me pls

silent canyon
#

Velocity is a vector quantity that's why

#

I suggest you go to the sister physics server

harsh plover
#

haha doesnt really answer what im looking for

#

why is does it being a vectory quantity mean it accelerates

#

anyway have oyu got an invite to the phsyicc one

night zodiac
#

If velocity is changing, there is an acceleration involved

harsh plover
#

ahh

#

is there a way to differentiate the two accelerations

#

like acceleartion due to change of direction and acceleartion due to change of pseed

#

speed

#

it seems quite confusing

Changing direction relates to changing speed

You differentiate once

#

Set it equal to 0

You can then verify what kind by for example differentiating again

zinc ibex
#

I am a beginner at math so I have trouble solving the problem.

I wanted to know what kind of theory I should study upon or any advice on solving my problem.

My problem is as followed.

A , B = Non zero positive integer (not a floating point)

I have a finite list of A-B pair , For example List = [{A1,B1} , {A2,B2} , {A3,B3} , --- {An,Bn} ]

I wanted to find how many pair is within a single pair (I wanted to group them together)?

My sample example data is as follow.

+----+-----+
| A | B |
+----+-----+
| 30 | 201 |
| 31 | 179 |
| 31 | 178 |
| 30 | 148 |
| 31 | 117 |
| 30 | 87 |
| 31 | 165 |
+----+-----+

{A1,B1} to {A6,B6} is in a single group and {A7,B7} is in another group.

{A1,B1} to {A6,B6} is in a single group because A1+B1 = 202 and
{A1+A2+A3+A4+A5+A6} = {30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 } = 184 (which is less than B1 [201] )

{A7,B7} is another group because 184+A7 = 184 +31 = 215 (which is greater than B1).

After the end of the group {A6,B6} , I wanted to reset the process and start it from the start of next group {A7,B7} until I run out of the number of pairs in my list.

I wanted to find out the pair which is the start of the group {A1,B1} , {A7,B7}. Or is it at least possible to find out how many group will there will in my finite set of list.

Please tell me if you wanted me to clarify the detail of my problem or wanted me to rephrase it in another way.

well just add the numbers An until you are too big and then start new

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

not really

#

what do you actually want this for

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

do you want to do this in some kind of software? in your head? on paper?

zinc ibex
zinc ibex
#

In the above example (same as previous data) , I wanted to put "2021-07-24" to "2021-12-24" into a single group and so on

#

I am curious in whether I can mathematically determine how many group I should have in a list in order to verify the output of my program

marble wharf
#

well to mathematically determine that you would just add up the numbers. which is probably the same as what your program does

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

what does your program use

#

but sure you can add them to verify I guess

zinc ibex
#

My program actually needed to find a start of the group. and then it perform other operation on the start of the group

#

I know my program is having a problem on some edge case so I thought I can verify it with math

marble wharf
#

just a simple

sum = 0
i=1
while sum <= B1
  sum = sum+A_i
  i++
end
return i``` or something should work
#

(I hope I don't have an "off-by-one" error in there)

zinc ibex
#

I am using it in database so set-based logic is better for me

#

and am trying to find it more math-like way instead of procedural like

#

logic

marble wharf
#

algorithms are math...

#

can you calculate sum(A1, ..., An) with your system?

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

can you do something likefor each n calculate sum(A1, ..., An) ?

#

I know that loops in databases are bad tho

#

unsafe and all that

zinc ibex
#

My database loop take too long to run but this is a math channel so

#

I thought somone know a way to optimize it

#

by using math logic

marble wharf
#

well then the question you should have asked is "hey can someone in here optimize database code for me"

#

you didnt even mention that you are working in a database for 30 minutes

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

I only have very basic knowledge about databases, definitely no clue how to optimize queries or stuff like that, sorry. maybe try it in #computing-software ? not sure. or maybe the CS server under #old-network

zinc ibex
marble wharf
#

well the condition here is based on adding numbers

orchid beacon
#

A metal brace sits at 55 degrees to the horizontal and reaches 4.2m
up a wall.

orchid beacon
#

can someone help draw this out?

#

i struggle at making these type of diagrams and i think thats giving me the incorrect answer

grim saffron
orchid beacon
#

i know its either Sin or Cos but i can't tell what to use so i wanted to illustrate it to find it out

grim saffron
#

By "4.2m up a wall", do you mean:
a. The distance between the base of the wall to the point where the brace and the wall meet, or
b. the length of the brace itself?

orchid beacon
grim saffron
#

Yeah, the brace is acting as hypotenuse and the wall forms 90 degrees angle to the ground.

orchid beacon
#

right

grim saffron
#

But I think the phrase "reaches 4.2m up a wall" is ambiguous. Is the question already in English?

orchid beacon
#

yeah it is its just how it is in the textbox

#

whats throwing me off is the degrees

grim saffron
orchid beacon
grim saffron
solid kilnBOT
orchid beacon
#

the answer i got was 2.41m, but the textbox says its E

#

i did 4.2*cos(55)

lilac wind
#

it reaches 4.2 meters up the wall, meaning that its the opposite which is 4.2 meters. knowing this, should you be using cos(55) or something else?

orchid beacon
#

sin

#

right !

#

ok i appreciate it, these questions get around ma head sometimes despite not really being that hard

but thank you !!!

dire oyster
#

How many real subsets of the three-element set {2; 3; 4}?

dire oyster
#

the answer is 6 although I do not know how to solve it

silent canyon
#

for example {2,3} is a subset

dire oyster
#

its a subset of {2,3,4}?

silent canyon
#

yeah

dire oyster
#

then

#

{3,4} too

sturdy leaf
#

yes

dire oyster
#

and {2,4}

#

thats three

sturdy leaf
#

though i would have said 7 is the answer. wouldnt {} also be a real subset?

#

that sais i assume real means proper

dire oyster
#

ye

#

probably {} is not a proper subset in this case

#

what is the other 3?

silent canyon
#

{2}, {3}, {4}, {2,3,4}

#

technically I would have included {}

dire oyster
#

i see

silent canyon
#

i would have said 8 lol

dire oyster
#

these are the answer choices

silent canyon
#

interesting

#

so they dont consider the empty and the whole set itself

dire oyster
#

wait a second

#

i have the solve key

#

maybe its not 6

#

it is 6

silent canyon
#

ok they asked for "real" subsets

#

i dont know the difference

dire oyster
#

sadly me neither

#

okay

stable jacinth
#

This is a problem for Surfaces Defined Parametrically and Surface Area. I need to set up a double integral but im not sure how to do it and really confused with the fractions. Help please?

cyan zinc
#

solve for z in the eqn for the plane

#

@stable jacinth

stable jacinth
#

dz/dx = -2

#

dz/dy = -2

cyan zinc
#

ok now let's set this up as a double integral in x and y

#

we have

#

$$\iint_{C} (5 - 2x - 2y) dx dy$$

#

where C is the ellipse

stable jacinth
#

According to my notes it becomes int sqrt(1+ dx^2 + dy^2) dxdy

#

And i need to set the limits for the double integration

#

Is this correct?

cyan zinc
#

yeah that's right, i made an error there

stable jacinth
#

Its fine. I just dont know how to find the limits. Can i get some help with that?

cyan zinc
#

yeah sure

#

observe this

#

x^2/36 + y^2/4
x^2/6^2 + y^2/2^2
(x/6)^2 + (y/2)^2 = 1

#

let x/6 = cos(t) and y/2 = sin(t)

stable jacinth
#

(cost)^2 +(sint)^2 = 1?

cyan zinc
#

yes

#

but we need to plug that into our integral and compute the jacobian

stable jacinth
#

Is that the dy component?

cyan zinc
#

let me write it out

#

we start with

#

$$\iint_{C} \sqrt{1+f_x^2+f_y^2} dx dy$$

solid kilnBOT
#

Mr. Gamer

cyan zinc
#

we found that f_x = f_y = -2, so squaring that gives 4.
we get sqrt(1+4+4) = sqrt(9) = 3

#

$$\iint_{C} 3 dx dy$$

solid kilnBOT
#

Mr. Gamer

stable jacinth
#

Okay got it so far

cyan zinc
#

now we have to change coordinates from:
(x,y) -> (r,t)
(using t for theta here, don't feel like typing greek rn)

#

are you familiar with the jacobian?

stable jacinth
#

No im not. Never heard of it sorry

cyan zinc
#

ok so what we have to do basically is find what our dA element becomes under a change of coordinate system

#

we have the equations:
x = 6rcos(t)
y = 2rsin(t)
for:
0<=t<=2pi
0<=r<=1

#

so basically we have to take the determinant to change:
dx dy -> f(r,t) dr dt

#

let me show you how that's done, latex for determinants is kind of painful so i'll write it out

stable jacinth
#

Thank you

cyan zinc
#

dx/dr = 6cos(t), dx/dt = -6rsin(t)
dy/dr = 2sin(t), dy/dt = 2rcos(t)

#

now all we have to do is take the determinant of this matrix:

#

| 6cos(t) -6rsin(t) |
| 2sin(t) 2rcos(t) |

#

what do you get

stable jacinth
#

Matrix? is this linear algebra?

cyan zinc
#

it's calc 3 so yes

#

there's no other way to get the jacobian factor haha

stable jacinth
#

Oh I actually didnt take linear yet. Ill try it tho?

#

I know this is cross product but never did something so complicated. Only numbers

cyan zinc
#

$\begin{vmatrix}a&b\c&d\end{vmatrix} = ad - bc$

solid kilnBOT
#

Mr. Gamer

stable jacinth
#

ad is 12rcos^2(t)

#

bc is -12rsin^2(t)

cyan zinc
#

yeah you're right

stable jacinth
#

Is it just 12r?

#

Since the sin and cos cancel out

cyan zinc
#

so then when we perform the subtraction we get:

#

12r exactly

#

now we can finally set up the integral

#

$$\iint_{C} 3 dx dy$$

solid kilnBOT
#

Mr. Gamer

cyan zinc
#

becomes

#

$$\int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{0}^1 (36r) dr dt$$

solid kilnBOT
#

Mr. Gamer

stable jacinth
#

Okay ill try solving it out

#

Got 36pi

#

Worked. Thank you!

stable jacinth
cyan zinc
#

ok sure

stable jacinth
#

This is the question

#

And this is my work done so far

#

Im pretty sure i made a error somewhere but unsure whats wrong with it

cyan zinc
#

alright so the bounds on your integrand look good

#

not too sure about the jacobian factor or the radicand however

#

let's double check that

#

can you see how we'd get that:
2x = rcos(t)
2y = rsin(t)

stable jacinth
#

Im pretty sure its the 7 that im missing something

#

Yes. I understand that

cyan zinc
#

wait i see what it is

#

our radicand should be:
1+(2x)^2+(2y)^2
(Let x = rcos(t), y = rsin(t))
1+(2(rcos(t))^2+(2(rsin(t))^2
1 + 4r^2(cos^2(t)) + 4r^2(sin^2(t))
1 + 4r^2

stable jacinth
#

Ahh calculation mistake

#

Okay ill try again.

cyan zinc
#

everything else looks good

#

just change the radicand into 1+4r^2

stable jacinth
cyan zinc
#

why are you getting a decimal instead of an exact answer

stable jacinth
#

the exact answer is (pi(135sqrt(5)-1)/6

cyan zinc
#

yeah that checks out

stable jacinth
stable jacinth
cyan zinc
#

i think i see your error now

#

when z = 7, we have x^2 + y^2 = 0, so our lower bound for r is 0

#

when z = 11, we have x^2+y^2=4, so our upper bound for r is 2

#

@stable jacinth

stable jacinth
#

Oh

#

Can you clarify please?

cyan zinc
#

sure

#

let's consider our original eqn

#

z = 7 + x^2 + y^2

#

it just gives us a single bound on z (z<=11), so we have to find the minimum value that z can attain

#

x^2+y^2 will always be nonnegative, so the minimum value for z is 7. when z = 7, we get:
7 = 7 + x^2 + y^2
0 = x^2+y^2
0 = r^2
0 = r

#

Our upper bound for z is given as z = 11, when that occurs:
11 = 7 + x^2 + y^2
4 = x^2 + y^2
4 = r^2
2 = r

stable jacinth
#

Ohh okay i understand

#

Got it. Thank you!

I’m not sure how to do these

trim joltBOT
full dock
#

How does question 2 work?

trim lichen
#

question 2? do you mean part b?

full dock
#

oh yeah

#

i dont quite get it

#

am i supposed to plug in the values of g into x or something

split chasm
#

$\boxed{?}$ just seems to be another function

solid kilnBOT
#

ℝamonov

full dock
#

well a and b

#

i dont know how to do

split chasm
#

for g(-1) substitute all xs in
g(x) = x^2 + 2x
with (-1)
and simplify

split chasm
#

not quite

#

(-1**)**^2 + 2(-1)?

full dock
#

ohh

#

but what does it mean evaluate g(-1) and g(2)

#

how come there is 2 g functions

split chasm
#

those are two separate problems

full dock
#

ohhh

#

okay

#

i thought you had to do it in the same equation

#

so after simplifying the equation it would be

#

g(x) = (insert equation)?

split chasm
#

no

full dock
#

wha

full dock
split chasm
#

for g(-1) substitute all xs in
g(x) = x^2 + 2x
with (-1)

full dock
#

what about the ?(x)

#

what letter do i put

split chasm
#

wdym

full dock
#

you know how theres a letter before (x)

#

like f(x)

#

g(x)

#

things like that

#

it says ?(x)

split chasm
#

yeh...

#

then write a boxed ?

full dock
#

do i just keep it as ?(x)

split chasm
#

$\boxed{?}$

solid kilnBOT
#

ℝamonov

full dock
#

and is the ?(x) = 2x^3-x^2+6 part of the g(x) = x^2 + 2x

#

or is that its separate thing

split chasm
#

two different functions

full dock
#

oh okay

#

so do i follow the same value input for part A with the equation on the right

split chasm
#

wdym

full dock
#

in A) it says g(1), g(2)

#

do i use that for the one on the right as well

split chasm
#

it says g(-1) and g(2)

full dock
#

oh okay my bad

#

do i use those for the one on the right

split chasm
#

i still don't get what you mean

full dock
#

in the image

split chasm
#

you use the g(x) function when finding g(whatever)
you use the ?(x) function when finding ?(whatever)

full dock
#

the right box

#

do i use g(x) values in part A with this as well

split chasm
#

no?

full dock
#

so what values do i use

split chasm
#

whatever it tells you to use

full dock
#

ohh

#

these ones right

split chasm
#

yes...

full dock
#

sorry for being dumb

#

im new to this

split chasm
#

for g(-1) substitute all xs in
g(x) = x^2 + 2x
with (-1)
for g(this) replace all xs in g(x) = x^2 + 2x with (this)

#

g(🍎) = 🍎^2 + 2🍎

full dock
#

and i apply that logic for the rest right

split chasm
#

for g(-1), performing the described action gets you
g(-1) = (-1)^2 + 2(-1)

#

and simplify to get the value they wanted

#

same idea for the rest yes

full dock
#

and what does part C mean

split chasm
#

same idea

full dock
#

express in terms of x?

split chasm
#

for g(this) replace all xs in g(x) = x^2 + 2x with (this)

#

your result will have x in it

full dock
#

ohhh okay

#

that makes sense now

#

thank you a lot

#

when i substitute value with x like

#

x-5

#

would it look like

#

x(x-5)^2 + 2?

split chasm
#

no

#

keep looking back at

for g(this) replace all xs in g(x) = x^2 + 2x with (this)

undone knoll
#

just as a quick question if i have -x+1 and i insert for e.g. -3 than it would be -(-3)+1 and not -3+1 right? :0

turbid spruce
#

yep

long basin
#

Yes

#

Poyo

undone knoll
#

thanks! just wanted to make sure because i have like
f(k) : k + 1, if k ≥ 0
-k +1, if k < 0

so yea thank you <3

wraith hinge

#

hi

trim joltBOT
wraith hinge
#

I was wondring if I could remove the x-1 with 1-x

#

x-1/2(1-x)

hardy zodiac
#

Is this $\frac{x-1}{2(1-x)}$

solid kilnBOT
wraith hinge
#

yes its like this

hardy zodiac
#

Well u cant cancel right away, you need to make the x-1 into 1-x or vice versa

wraith hinge
#

how do I do that

hardy zodiac
#

recall that (a-b) = -(b-a)

wraith hinge
#

so it becomes 2-(x-1)

slate cloud
#

Implicit multiplication usually has precedence over division, however, since that is convention, I would recommend putting parentheses around it just to make sure it's unambiguous

wraith hinge
#

aight

slate cloud
#

(which isn't equal to 2(1-x))

wraith hinge
#

I see

#

I was trying to simplify it and thought I could simplify it even more

slate cloud
wraith hinge
#

I do not know how to do it tho

slate cloud
#

what is 2*(-x) equal to?

wraith hinge
#

-2x?

slate cloud
#

yup

#

not 2-x

slate cloud
wraith hinge
#

it should be
2-2x

slate cloud
#

well, this is true, but we want to get a factor of (x-1) here

#

to simplify the fraction

wraith hinge
#

sorry I do not understand what you mean

slate cloud
#

we know that (a-b) = -(b-a)

#

and we want to get a factor of (x-1) in 2(1-x)

slate cloud
#

(but correctly)

wraith hinge
#

so x?

slate cloud
#

2(-(x-1))

wraith hinge
#

why the added parentheses

slate cloud
#

Because in the original, it's two times 1 - x

#

So after applying the property, we get two times -(x-1)

#

not two minus x-1

wraith hinge
#

ohhh

#

I see

#

cuz its two

#

thanks for the help

#

imma close this one now

wraith hinge
#

it's given that AE = BE, AF = 3DF, and we need to prove that BD = 2DC, I am super frustrated trying to solve this thing

trim joltBOT
#

@wraith hinge Has your question been resolved?

torpid depot
#

wait let me try

#

@wraith hinge

#

do you still need help?

wraith hinge
#

Yes

torpid depot
#

a hint would be to draw DM || EC where M is aa point on AB
