The exponential function e^{x} cannot be extended to [the projectively extended real line]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectively_extended_real_line
why is that?
think about what happens as x -> infinity and x -> -infinity, do they wrap around to the same "point"?
is that a problem
What would be e^{inf}?
what is an 🍓
Why?
Because e^x tends to +inf when x tends to +inf?
yeah, i guess
What about when x tends to -inf?
Most functions, yes

why can’t we divide it further
what
um
when you get a number lower than the divisor and you don't have anything further, you leave it as the remainder

How do u do q9?
,rccw
do you know about partial fractions decomposition
i do, i forgot
i normally do a weird method and it works
but not for this
so no
so no.
look it up then tbh
lots of tutorials and explanations online
these channels are kinda more so for specific questions you have
can u send a good one pld
uh sure
idk how to do it if p(x) has a greater degree than g(x)
where p(x) is the numerator
ty
still dont know how to do 9d 😭
oh wait
do i just do long division to bring the degree of the numerator down?
welp...
if someone can show working for like 10c that would be great
so ik whats going on

I dont know how to do. I have to find N. Examples:
log2 8 = N
logN 4 = 2
logN = 2
lnN = 1
these are just some examples. I dont understand the connections in logarithms. I know how to do log2 N = 4. I know that N = 4 squared but i cant understand the ones i put above. How am I supposed to consistantly find N in all of those scenarios even if i get harder ones like logN 1/25 = -2. Is there like a formula to do these? I know its supposed to be similar to dividing and multiplication like a * b = c -> b = c/a but i just dont get the connections. Have tried to do them but mostly its through guessing not any actual formula or something similar
$\log_b(a) = c \iff b^c = a$
$Pure$
So $\log_b(a)$ is asking b to the what power is a
$Pure$
So with the first example i gave Log2 8 = N its 2^N = 8?
yep
what is base of logN?
it's not an integer btw
It doesn't have to be 10, however if you're told to assume bases when not given, then that's that.
I thought if its not said or shown then its 10. Like you dont write the power 1 to any number (8^1 and so on)
what does this mean?
Those two sentences are unrelated.
The base being 10, and 8^1 = 8
Absolutely unrelated.
Depends on what you’re doing some take log to be base e some base 2. it’s just what’s more convenient I guess
n is not an integer
But if its for example logN 1/25 = -2 is it N^-2 = 1/25. How would finding the N work there. As with 2^N = 8 I can see that 2^3 = 8 so that N is 3. But with logN 1/25 = -2 I cant just guess it if i put it in the formula
It just means $N^{-2} = \frac{1}{25}$
$Pure$
If you don’t see what N is try writing 25 as something squared
Can it be 1/25 = 1 / N^2 --> N^2 = 25 and then squareroot and N = 5?
Or is that wrong
If i do N^-2 = 1/N^2
is there a simpler way to do it? since you said to make 25 something squared?
N^-2 = 1/5^2
25 is 5^2
Am I supposed to just "see" it from there?
Then it’s pretty obvious that N is 5
Well I suppose if you’re new to exponent rules it might take some practice
No I’m just more experienced
So If I just follow the formula you showed me earlier I can do all of these?
Yep $\log_b(a) = c \iff b^c = a$
$Pure$
$Pure$
You’d need a calculator
Ok
Should just be perfect squares cubes etc

Can someone tell me what is c supposed to mean
Do I add 5 to every transport expenses
<@&286206848099549185> plz help
The wording seems vague since it doesn't say if each executive's expense individually increases by 5 or if it's one executive increasing by a lot. I think your interpretation is the safest one where each executive increases by $5. So you'd get the same histogram but shifted to the right by 5 (also assuming we changed the buckets with this increase)

find the derivative of the function
How do you get it?
notice that e^(ln(x))=x
so if we write e^ln(f(x)) we get f(x)
so in our case
3^sqrt(x)=e^ln(3^sqrt(x))
from there on we can simplify a bit
$3^{\sqrt{x}}=e^{\ln 3^{\sqrt{x}}}$
Martin
$\ln (a^b)=b\cdot\ln a$
Martin
can you dumb it down a little
we are using:
e^(ln(x))=x
this is because e^x and ln(x) are inverse to each other usually
which is why we can just write f(x) as e^ln(f(x))
if we want to prove the other property:
log_b(x^k) = k * log_b(x)
m = log_b(x)
=> x = b^m
x^k = (b^m)^k=b^mk
log_b(x^k)=log_b(b^mk)=mk
remember the value of m
log_b(x^k)=k * log_b(x)
log(x^k) = log(x • x • … •x) k times = logx + logx +…+logx k times 
oh yeah that is nicer
but then you have to prove that property as well haha
but lets say that is a given
good point tho, thx

when solving efficiency, how do i know what is output or input in a word problem? im kinda confused,
without any context the only advice i can give is “output is the smaller number” because having higher than 100% efficiency violates physics
I sure which it didn't. Wouldn't that be neat
generally, im confused in any context,
oh ok,,

for a question like this when do we know to apply l'hopitals rule? I keep having issues to when to apply it
i have to do l'hopitals here by making it sin(1/k)(1/k) but how do I know I will have to do that?
Do x = 1/k
you dont have to apply lhopital for sin(x)/x
it should be common knowledge knowing the limits of sin(x)/x

What if it's "parallel" instead of 'perpendicular'?
Would the working still be the same?
Parallel to the plane?
Ye
Wld u say I'd learn it in year 12?
Sure, perhaps before that.
How do I approach the question if so ?
There'd be an entire plane parallel to your plane passing through A.
And that plane would have infinite such lines passing through A.
So I suppose just write the equation of plane, and then write the line equations from there.

Hey, how do I solve 16?
This isn't a geometric series
And the sequence inside the series diverges
So I'm confused
Oh, sum of geometric series?
Is that it?
you can honestly say $\frac{1+3^n}{2^n}$ is strictly increasing
candies
@wraith hinge Has your question been resolved?
I'm not sure how that helps prove divergence
The way I did it is fine though, right?
Using geometric series
cuz then it shoots off the infinity
ig u can say
[original expression] > summation 3^n/2^n which diverges, so [orig expression] must be divergent
Oh, I get it

e^(x+y) = 6
e^x + e^y = 5
hint 1: ||try writing e^(x+y) as e^x * e^y||
hint 2: ||the first equation becomes ab=6, second one becomes a+b=5||
hint 3: ||solve by quadratic||
click each hint after at least 5 minutes trying ig
5 minutes at least? 
how do I put them on the same line though 
(5 - b)b = 6
b^2 - 5b + 6
(b + 1)(b - 6)

so replace b with e^y then I..... (then you jump in here)
@summer meteor Has your question been resolved?
That's not a correct factorization
Just use the quadratic formula if you can't directly factorize this
Find the possible values for b and a
(honestly it's not hard to find two integers that add up to 5 and multiply into 6)
3 and 2 sorry
Yeah, so e^x and e^y are 2 and 3 (or 3 and 2)
so just ln(2) and ln(3)?
Yes

how do i compute the inner product of this
Consider using integration by parts twice
sure?
actually nvm yh i see it
i know that is some notation that is | with the 0,1
a bit like the intergral, but just a straight line. What is that?
The evalutation bar?
Perhaps?
[ \eval_0^1 ]
A Lonely Bean
yes
Am i supposed to write that out for when i take x^2*e^x outside of the intergral?
Yeah but it's kind of too early, you still need to integrate xe^x
Right, now you add that to $2xe^x\eval_0^1$
A Lonely Bean
Btw you should have + in front of the integral when applying product rule
where?
My bad I meant x^2 e^x
// mav
Not really
Right, now you just simplify
[ \left[x^2e^x - 2xe^x\right]\eval_0^1 + 2\int_0^1e^x\dd x ]
A Lonely Bean
That will yield the overall answer
hy is the a minus inbetween
The product rule is
[ \int u \dd v = uv - \int v \dd u ]
That's where the minus sign comes from
A Lonely Bean
And the sign in front of the integral is positive because we applied product rule twice, so its sign changed twice (minus times minus gives plus)
Let's see
= e - 2e + 2(e - 1) = -e + 2e - 2 = e - 2
I think you should have 2 * 0 * e^0 in the first line

Wait why is it 2 * 0 * e^1
Ah
2*x? at x=0?
Yeah but e^x = e^0 at x = 0 but whatever
have i misswritten
Yeah you should have 2 * 0 * e^0 there
Or 2 * 1 * e^1
Kinda hard to tell in which order you are doing those
So x^2 * e^x - 2xe^x evaluated at x = 1 is e - 2e and at x = 0 it's just 0
So you have -e + the integral
And you know that the integral is equal to 2e - 2
Hence it's -e + 2e - 2
i have to go
but i cant get it to work
even though this should be the simplest part of everything

if I know that tan(pi/12)=2-root3
how will I find tan(pi/24)
Use the half angle identity for tan (if you don't know it, you can derive it from the double angle identity for tan)
how would you derive the half angle identity for tan?
Let's start with the double angle identity for tan, can you recall it?
There is a wikipedia article for it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula
When you know the tangent value, you could determine the sine and cosine value by draw a right triangle.
Yeah
It's given to us in a formula booklet for our test
Alright, so we have
[ \tan 2x = \frac{2\tan x}{1 - \tan^2 x} ]
A Lonely Bean
Isolate tan(x) in it
(tan2x-(tan2x)(tan^2x))/2=tanx
I think it's better to not have fractions there, no need to divide by 2
So $\tan 2x - \tan 2x\tan^2 x = 2\tan x$
A Lonely Bean
right
Move all tan(x)'s to one side and every thing else to the other side (even if it's tan(2x))
divide B.S by tan^2x
?
What's BS?
both sides
No, you will still have a quadratic equation
Okay let's move everything to the right side
[ \tan 2x \tan^2 x + 2\tan x - \tan 2x = 0 ]
A Lonely Bean
As weird as it may seem, you can apply quadratic formula to this
oh

How to find how many digits will be in decimal form 3^16?
3^2 = 9
digits of a number is the floor of the base 10 logarithm plus one
so you want
floor(log_10(x)) + 1
ok rhats interesting
but makes sense
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
@bitter ermine Has your question been resolved?
16 log3 +1
Hmm
So it will be 8.something
So 8 digits
Now let's try this one method
I mean just note that up until you've multiplied 9 by itself 8 times, the pattern is 1 more digit
with leading digit going down by 1
I didn't understand this
9×9×9×9×9×9×9×9
Ohh i got it now
9×9 will not surpass 2 digit
Right?

but how😭
like what does that mean and entail
for which one f(x) or g(x)
ohh
ok so i plug it in in the derivative of f or just original one
welll
i could say normal bc i alr used derivative for g but also i can say derivative cuz i mean it is a calc question for derivative😭
umm
i think orginal because the equation says that
it’s 1
wait derivative of x^2 is 2x ?
okay lemme do that
16/4 is 4
so is y = 4
YAAAA
so the coordinates for point P is (4,4)
okayyyy i’ll keep that in mind

does anyone know whats the first step i should take when solving equations like this?
or this
i just get really confused
I know how to do like radical + radical but not something like this from the start
im assuming its quite simple but i just dont know how to begin
JS
Yeah I can simplify the cube roots
Let me do it rq
how do u do that
like the bot sending
so it shows
i simplifed it to 4 cuberoot 3
you can write in Latex and the bot will convert.
how do i write in latex?
Like this: $\sqrt[3]{320}$
JS
wow that's huge 😄
$\sqrt[3]{192}$ simplifies to $4sqrt[3]{3}$
Rahm Bow
$\sqrt[3]{192}$ simplifies to $4\sqrt[3]{3}$
Rahm Bow
😄
yep you got it 😄
Rahm Bow
yep do that one as well and then add them up
i get $2\sqrt[3]{3}$
Rahm Bow
Rahm Bow
like that right
there's a 5/6 multiplied with the cube root(192) and a 1/8 with the cube root(24) as well....
but yeah you can reduce it to something cube root(3) and that's it I think...
Yea thats where I get stuck
How does the new equation look now
for this
put in the simplified numbers for both the cube roots, and then recalc
the second one should be 2 x cube root(3) instead of 6 x cube root(3).
well the two got switched 😛
np 🙂
are you then comfortable factoring out the cuberoot and adding the fractions?
ok, well from what you have we can simplify to: $\sqrt[3]{3} x (\frac{5}{6} x 4 + \frac{2}{8}) $
$\sqrt[3]{3} x (\frac{5}{6} x 4 + \frac{2}{8})$
Rahm Bow
that?
yes you got it.. then just simplify the stuff in brackets and it's done.
but i dont even know how you got from that to that and where did the x's come from?
the x is just Latex's rendering - needs a \times instead of x.
this is how they show me do it
but i dont know what they did for the beginning
idk if im jsut dumb or something but i swear i cant remember
it's the same thing
Im still really confused ngl
ok you good till this step?
Yes
ok so, you can write that two ways - let me write them both, gimme 2 mins
kk
so what you have can be written as $\frac{5 \times 4 \times \sqrt[3]{3}}{6} + \frac{2 \times \sqrt[3]{3}}{8}$ which is the same as they have on the second line. Or, $\sqrt[3]{3} (\frac{5 \times 4}{6} + \frac{2}{8}) = \sqrt[3]{3} \frac{43}{12}$
does this make sense?

Hello. Notice that dx/dt is given in terms of x, not t
So they use the chain rule to find
d(x')/dt
d(x')/dt = d(x')/dx * dx/dt

for a) do you need to prove one direction with induction
like showing how to represent n!
ie like n! = n x n-1 x p x 2 x 1
or can i just like
n! = n x n-1 x p x 2 x 1 use this fact
like clearly here p is a multiple of n! so it must divide n!
yeah thats totally fine for n >= p implies p | n!
and i get that you would have to show what happens if n < p, but what is the other direction
i have one direction but i guess it has multiple cases?
which may be easier to show
just by negation right?
yeha i showed that
interesting
so you just show the negation is true
the second two are equivalent by contrapositive
so yeah then it seems like you've done it all
do you need to use the binomial theorem for b)
is there another way to do it
we went over the binomial theorem in class but not too much
you do
okay
can i verify my proof
sure
i thinmk im messing this up so bad
i dont think im particular im explaining the congruent mod p thing correctly
you can use the binomial coefficient thing to show that (n k) is divisible by n
i think im close but i might need a small hint
because i think i sort of get what its saying
like if you have 1 x .. x p x ... x n
then any prime number will divide it if its < n
which leaves n as the remainder
so it would be mod n?
for part b, in the formula for binomial expansion, the n is now p
because you're doing (x+y)^p
just write out a few terms of (x+y)^p using the formula
you know from the question which terms should die so justify that they do
@grim crown Has your question been resolved?
yeah i think you got it
you took a lot of care to make sure the denominators were not cancelling the factor of p in the numerator which is good

okay so
with this problem, I found out that it had either 2 or 0 positive answers and exactly 1 negative answer
and I plugged in all the possible answers using the formula/method our teach have us
And none of them worked

its the rational roots factoring method (no idea what step 2 is but its not needed?) but I do not want to check what is wrong since i hate this method
for what its worth, it does have a rational root but I need to go look up the method again to see why you missed it

Hey! I'm currently studying the epsilon-delta definition of the limit, and I'm confused by this portion of the textbook (AoPS Calculus).
if abs(z) is less than delta, how can the statement on the right side of the underlined portion be true?
I'm not sure z is real number or not (because z sometimes represents complex number)
If z is real number
0<|z|<δ→-δ<z<δ→0<z²=|z|²<δ²
So this statement is true
If z is not real number
This statement is fault because z² may be not real number,in this condition we can't compare which is larger.

I forgot to mention that z is a substitution for an expression

how is the answer -1, like i dont get what d is referring to here, is it the y intercept of the linear equation thats passing thru the parabola?
@zinc urchin Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> if anybody could help, that would be great
just a suggestion which may or may not work, how about sub in the equation for y into the expression 4y=d, i.e. 12x^2-16x+4=d, and then as there are two points of intersection, the determinant would be positive
this should get you closer to the answer maybe
ah you were right with your method
its just that its asking for the least possible integer
you woould have gotten that d>-4/3 right?
exactly
so the least possible integer that satisfies this is -1
and thats why the answer is -1
ok thats where i lose you
how
okay no worries, im assuming you know what integers, natural numbers, rationals etc are?
yes
cool
so, if we know that integers are the numbers ....-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.... and so on, but we have that d must be greater than -4/3, what is the smallest integer that we can find which satisfies this?
haha great, whenever doing this step, sometimes its useful to visualise a number line
less goo, my dumbass was still stuck with -1.333 so thats why, didmt pay attention to the word integer 💀
good tip man thanks a ton
haha no worries anytime 🙂
i have one more question tho, its simple as well i think, could u help me with that as well?
i could try haha
great
hold up
thats how i am visualizing this
idk if i am right?
i used the arc length formula but i am still nowhere close to ans C
s=r theta
and the standard one as well
2pi r and angle divided by 360
shouldnt the angle be 180?
yes
i just get 5pi
so itll be 180/360 (2 * pi * 5) = pi*5 which is equivalent to 15/3pi as 15/3=5
thats correct
5pi = 15pi/3
well thanks alot man, appreciate you taking out the time

Let $g(x,y)=(2y-x-y^3)(2x)+(x-2y)(4y)=-2x^2-8y^2-2xy^3+8xy$
Beous
How can I show that there is a neighborhood of $(0,0)$ such that $g(x,y)<0$ for all non-zero elements of this neighborhood.
Beous
The issue is that the hessian of g is not negative definite but just negative semi-definite
the hessian of g is
[[-4, 8 - 6y^2],
[8 - 6y^2, -12xy - 16]]
the 4th order approximation does not help since it is a saddle
if i fix y then i get a quadratic in x
so i can find the maximum of this quadratic since it has negative leading coefficient
i'll see if this works

$f(x) = \frac{(x^2+x-6)}{(x-2)}$
ahmed349
Limits
$f(x) = \frac{x^2+x-6}{x-2} = \frac{(x-2)(x+3)}{x-2} = x+3$
ahmed349
$f(2)$ is not defined because you cannot divide by zero.
SWR
But it's limit exists and it is 5
but it works here
You are entering the domain of a neat branch of mathematics known as real analysis
ah maybe i should take a step back
and keep that door closed
but like
this is just algebraic manipulation
at what point do i consider the value a limit
It's a cool door
like if i didnt know calculus existed i would just say "ah yes x+3 so any value for x works"
That's a really hard question to answer without taking a long time.
damn
But you're asking the right questions, which is good
It's awesome actually
You have the mind of a thinker.
Are you taking calculus yet?
What math are you in right now?
damn, i thought i was plain stupid
Nah. You question things. That's a good quality.
college
faculty of artificial intellgince, idk what the course name is though
So you've taken calculus I'm assuming.
yes
Then you've already learned about limits in some sense
but just memorized stuff
yeah
but i literally just now found out that when you approach x thing you look for the value of y
You should also know a bit of set theory too then. Sets, domains, functions on sets.
i just knew you had to solve funny algebra to get the limit
discrete maths yes
Yeah you need limits to do calculus, but you don't need to understand it a deep level
It's funny because analysis is the foundation that calculus is built on, but calculus is so much more of a practical branch on its own that people only learn limits in the most hand wavy way that can get you through it
But you have competencies, so I'll try to explain as best I can
thank you very much
Division is a binary function defined except when the denominator is zero
That's just a fact
And here, this is all algebraic manipulation, just like you said
But it does not work at x=2 because then the denominator is 0
But if you graph this, it will just look like y=x+3. That's pretty obvious to our eyes
yes
But technically, an open hole exist exactly at x=2 because you would be dividing by zero there.
yes
How do we account for this?
That's where limits come in. We can say f(2) is not defined, but as x approaches 2, we see that f(x) gets closer and closer to 5, without necessarily every needing to get to 5 exactly
So someone taking real analysis would say that the domain here is R-{2}. That is f(2) is not defined, but we can find its limit.
This let's us stay consistent with never dividing by zero
this where i get confused though
doesnt this mean $f(x) = x+3 and g(x) = \frac{x^2 + x - 6}{x-2}$ are different
ahmed349
but $x+3 = \frac{x^2 + x - 6}{x-2}$
f(2) is defined but g(2) is not
ahmed349
For every $x\ne2$
SWR
interesting, so this means i have to deal with equations the same way with functions, setting a domain
Yes
It's very meticulous
You can use limits to fill holes though
You can say $g(x)=\frac{x^2+x+6}{x-2}$ when $x\ne2$ and $g(x)=5$ when $x=2$
SWR
Then $f(x)=g(x)$ everywhere.

hi, after receiving a 20% mark for this question I'm wondering if my approach was even valid. the marker argued the text in yellow, but that's not what I meant. could i request a remark or am i just wrong?
can you send the whole proof, as it depends on how you argued
mkay
the argument looks a bit flawed
you can consider a specific case but you have to generalize like in inductive proofs
I don’t really see that in this proof, you make assumptions and you use those all the way
but its not a specific case, im considering a coordinate space where A is the origin and the vertical unit vector is parallel to d
What about a coordinate system where that isn't the case?
heres a 2d equivalent of my definitions
A can be anywhere in i,j but is at the origin of i',j'
The point is the result is independent of coordinate system, so you either need to not pick one, or show your argument generalises to all coordinate systems
but since ive defined i',j' independently of i,j, thats true right?
yeah that's fine you're allowed to define your own things, but you eventually have to relate it to the overall problem. It looks like you only proved for one case
the final sentence says that since its a plane in this new system its also a plane in the general i,j,k
should i be clearer there?

Is this the less than sign < ?
My equation is

It’s hot dogs and water and the total cost is less than 12 so should I put < in the blank?
yes, < is the less than symbol, and that would be an appropriate use of it

well i was thinking of how i can keep the integeral the same while turning that x into -1
i thought of multiplying by -1/x
couldn't understand this part
your substitution is fine
why r u facing issues?
like how i can make du line up with the original statement
cause right now i have -1dx
but in the integeral i have x (sqrt(u)) dx
which dosent sub in directly
u = 1 - x => x = 1 - u
whenever you are substituting you would have to replace x with the substituted terms everywhere
now tell me what will you get when you do that above?
something like this?
Well you said du=-dx
so if du is -dx
mm
like how does that work when i change it to du?
do i multiply everything by -1?
$-((1-u)(\sqrt(u)))du$
Arm
kk
you need to simplify and then solve
how would you solve?
from here on?
-((1-u) * sqrt(u)) du
what will you do in the next step?
just show that to me
Arm
got it!
this one was kind weird with the lone x
like usually du perfectly substituted thru
but here we did x = 1-u
yes

to simplify it further?
well for the first term you can multiply 4 into the numerator

in a right triangle, the long side is three times the length of the shorter short side. Find the length of all three sides when the area is 24.0 cm2 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1172135383753039922/1172135545892245524/IMG_0284.jpeg?ex=655f374b&is=654cc24b&hm=80dbc62cca58e6633f0f182ba81686e060aae5661dcca19609b0e0199121e3f6&=&width=1366&height=1024
If the length of the short side is x, what is an expression for the length of the long side?
Oh I see I misread that's correct
How do you find a missing side in a right triangle when you know two of them?
i dont know any of the sides
but only the area - 24m2
You know the short side is x and the hypotenuse is 3x, find an expression in terms of x for the other side
24m2 = x * 3x?
no that would be the formula for area if you had both the non hypotenuse sides
there was a famous man how lived very long ago whose name begins with P and he loved triangles and has a theorem named after him
but like u need to know the sides
1/2 * a*h
so
like
look up pythagoras' theorem
a*h = 48m^2
i know it
then it will let you get an expression for the missing side in terms of x
@stoic iron
i dont understand what this is supposed to be
oh i see
i put the sides
and b is your missing side
that we "know"
$x^2 + b^2 = (3x)^2$
but thats kinda not possible
ΣΑCu
so rearrange this for b
why put that into brackets?
because $(3x)^2 \neq 3x^2$
ΣΑCu
3x^2 - x^2 = b^2
(3x)^2 - 3x * (3x) * (3x)
3x^2 - 3x * 3x???
does brackets like this work like that
(3x)^2 is (3x)*(3x) = 9x^2
but 3x^2?
is not equal to 9x^2
what is then
just 3 times x^2
