What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
write all numerators above the lastest common denominator 18x²
wait wont it be faster to just mult top and bottom by 9x^2
then long div
or whatever
i can do that
should i?
nah just go with what @worthy eagle is saying
thats more similar to what i have done before
ok then do that ig
$6x^{-1}$ is not $\frac{1}{6x}$
dqvidutzul
what is it then?
dqvidutzul
yes and x^1 is just x so 6/x
one sec brb
now do the same for all
oh yea thats fr so just mult top and bottom by x^2, u dont need to do 9x^2

i only drew a diagram idk how to prove it
I think it is the easiest to use vectors
Hint 1:||express 2d in terms of b and c||
Hint 2:||use that x=2d+a||

For this question, I used the right corner triangle minus the small triangle except i dont know how to get the base or height of each
how do you find the base of the bigger shaded triangle, height
is abcd a square?
yeah
great
the shaded region is the area of the square - area of efd - area of bac
they are both right triangles
how did you find the diagonal?
nvm
you don't need it
how do you find the area of efd?
another right triangle nvm

@delicate lance Has your question been resolved?
@delicate lance Has your question been resolved?
pls my answer is worng idk why
hi
yea
the teacher didnt post the answer for this one so i dont even know what i did wrong
yea so do you know the correct answer
usually with these cost problems
you need to set up
equation for cost
and equation for other things like material/volume independently
so let’s let W=width and L=length then we will do both of the width sides using brick and one of the length sides using brick the other being fencing
therefore
we know the total cost for the rectangular garden will be
384W + 240L hmm where’d you go wrong let’s see
we know LW=1000
384W+240L=C
L=1000/W
384W+240000/W =C
C’=384-240000/W^2
cost
oh
perimeter is just 2L+2W
oh ok
so we want to find a minimum
384-240000/W^2=0
hmm
are you sure the book is correct
it is 25 40
book is wrong
how do I know whether to do the domain analysis or not
what does the domain analysis do for this question
domain analysis? you mean if the value you got is a valid solution
oh like yesterday
yea
not necessary for this problem
i’m curious how they got those answers
also
you can check it
like
see the price
with your values
and compare to theirs
so they try W=29.1 and L=34.4
My brain has trouble comprehending it
yea they’re dumb
if you do 25x40 you get to total cost of 19200
if you do 29.1x34.4 you get 19430.4
never knew a textbook could be wrong
well the whole length of that side is 40 right and you’re cutting out two squares of it so if the whole length is 40 the length of the two squares can’t possibly be greater than 40 because you’re cutting them out from that side
ohh
yes
so the square cant be bigger than 20
mhm
if you cut it in half
you’d get two squares of 20
there’d be no space between them you can’t fold it
ahh i see

A circle at (0,0) has the equation x^2 + y^2 = 5.
A linear graph has the equation 2y = x + 5
Find the 2 points at which the graphs intersect.
What do i do for this question???
I got 3,4 as one of the coordinatea but im 90% sure thats wrong
if ur 90% sure ur wrong
then why dont u try and check if its wrong
@golden thistle
are u sure its x^2 + y^2 = 5 and not x^2 + y^2 = 5^2
I cant fully remember, if its 5^2 then i know i got the 3,4 part right cause its a 345 triangle
This i found someone who also did the paper i did
Aight yea it was 5^2 cause the radius was 5
I get the first part of getting 3,4 just not the 2nd part of 0 and 5
-5**
ok so
which part of the (-5,0) obtainment did u specifically not understand
@golden thistle
@golden thistle Has your question been resolved?
Tbh I forgot that you could make it into a quadratic then factorise it because at first i subbed the y in wronged so i got something that woudjt factorise without a calculator
so u get how to do it now?

this isnt the original problem though, this is one of the step
my goal is to solve for x in terms of a
but im not sure how to
that's a cubic equation in terms of x

Why is the function floating
I suggest we differentiate
Alas that will provide us with the slope of the tangent line
oh thats because my teacher took it from something else
You should tell her it is very confusing when you cannot tell why the function is flying
Have you tried taking the derivative?

What do i need to do to find the local min's and max's
just based on the graph above
do u know the definition of local min/max
Yeah its when the orignal function peaks
or hits a low
but thats a graph of the derivative
the derivative is the rate of change of the function
first condition: f'(a) = 0 or f' is undefined at (a,f(a))
you should look for that first
3
but what about the jump disconuity
and the end point at x = 0
what about undefined
at 6
remember local min/max happens at points where the derivative is either 0 or undefined
its undefined
is it undefined at 0 also?
okay
f'(0) = 3 so it can't be a local min/max
for a point (a,f(a)) to be local max f'(x) should change signs from positive to negative at x = a
and to be a local f'(x) should change signs from negative to positive at x = a
oh my gosh your right i forgot about that
this is exactly what i was missing
thanks for the help adam!
np

same graph as above
I need to find the concavity
what exactly do i look for?
A function is said to be concave upward on an interval if f″(x) > 0 at each point in the interval and concave downward on an interval if f″(x) < 0 at each point in the interval.
remember f''(x) is the derivative of f'(x) which is the graphed above
I dont have f''
okay lets see
you have the graph of f'(x)
what does a positive/negative derivative indicate ?
if the graph is moving upwards or downwards
right, and f'' is the derivative of f'(x)
its the same for those functions?
wdym?
just like it would be for the original function and the first derivative
the same rule applies?
f'(x), f''(x) are just ordinary functions
yeah
you can even say
h(x) = f'(x)
h'(x) = f''(x)
you need to find where h'>0
I just got when it was increasing
thanks for the help again
if i run into math problems may i DM you?
i don't mind... but posting your question in a help channel will be way faster

y=2x+10
y=x+7 finding poi
set the equations equal to each other
and you find the xcoord of the poi
and to find y coord it shouldnt be that bad
yeah so like 2x+10 = x+7 ?
ye
and then you will get the x coord
and it asks for a point so you need the y coord too
by just plugging whatever you get for x into one of the equations

Its perpendicular chord is drawn at the midpoint of the radius of the circle. Find the angle between the rays passing through the ends of this chord
<@&286206848099549185>
hmm give me a sec
first, do you think you can draw that
yeah
then do it and send it here
yes
so that angle you're looking for
is just the double the angle of one of fhe triangles
yeah
pick one triangle, if the radius of your circle is r (an arbitrary number) can you label the sides of your triangle?
not all of them but two, leave the adjacent
you need only two sides
it will be half of radius
do you see how the hypotoneus is just a radius so it's length is r and the opposite like you said is r/2
yes
you can get the cos of that angle now
yeah
what is it?
exactly
and that's the fun part
it doesn't matter which circle you choose, that angle will always be 60
the whole angle is just 120
glad i helped 😁

can someone help? i need to solve this when lim x->0 but without using lhopitals
consider the factorisation for a difference of two cubes to rationalise the denominator
(this is similar to what you'd do if instead you had a square root where you'd use conjugates which is an application of the difference of two squares)
like this?
,rotate
yes
this doesnt really get me anywhere, its still 0/0
Maybe we have to substitute another variable?
no need
simplify the denominator
im sorry how do i do that
by not overthinking
so just x?

can anyone help me with this math equation i dont even know where to start
you could find a,b
by using the disibility
do u have an example
you can change this equation into the xy=m form (with m is a constant value)
This is more of a general knowledge question, here you should shift -a to RHS and take b common which will leave u with
b(3+a)=a from here it's clear that a will be negative as it's lesser than b and a the option which fulfils this equation and criteria is 4 so I think it may be 4
Not sure tho I could be being a complete idiot
alright that is logical
since its like a local math olympiad question
and here they rly like to use cheap tricks
lemme try if it can work
Yea these types are only used in Olympiads mostly

how does one do this?
you have to apply the polar coordinates, that is a classical exercise.
Area of circle with radius 6 - area of circle with r 4 in 1st quad
does that integral calculate area? your solution seems a bit too easy compared to the other answer
Yeah it does
Int from 0 to 6(√6-x²) - int from 0 to 4(√4-x²)
I suppose this how it's done?
Idk that ans sounds complex to me too
that is not about area here lol
Idont even know what it meant haven't studied
this is no way near what we learned abt this stuff. idk it might be correct
Wdym? Like it did say 'area of circle ring'? Idk I'm unsure abt this stuff
your task is classical exercise for polar
open the book and read there
and if your instructor does not realize that, then let him or her learn too
there was no mention of polar stuff in the lecture for this stuff. maybe lecture used different methods
I mean how are u so sure
We don't know what you're learning. You have to tell us.
There's a few ways you can do this problem, some very advanced, some very basic.
Without you telling us what you have learned to this point, we're going to be blindly throwing darts at methods.
I mean I don't understand how the other helper was so sure that they have to do it in only polar method tho? That's weird actually
do you want me to show you pages from y textbook ? or what you need? my diploma Aditi ?
I m not here for any sort of arguments
lecture for this stuff was parametrization, plane ints, and volume ints with determinants of the jacobian matrix
Like it just was little off tbh
this exercise is typical , if you use cartesian, it takes a lot of more time
Idk man it maybe correct, you can't just force them to do this way
This might be actually really time efficient your method but if they don't know what are we supposed to do
if problem would refer to the area, then i agreed with you, since geometrical aspect wud be better, but the presenc4 of the function noot equal to 1, then it is not the area
Alright they can follow your method, since I was not sure of the question from beginning itself, just said what I thought of as ans. Mb
smiles , I do not insist either 🙂

How does a negative exponent affect our answer? Before you assume that the answer must be negative, think again!
Practice thi...
thanks
One important property about negative exponents is that, provided your base is not equal to 0, you can always convert a negative exponent to a positive one by taking its reciprocal
That is to say, $a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}$ provided $a \neq 0$
curry
So if you feel comfortable dealing with positive exponents, you should convert them all to positive and work that way
ok

first find the second side length of the 45cm rectangle
the area is 45 right
what are it's side lengths
it does
no
no
wrong rectangle
the 45 one
what are it's sides
ok just
look at the picture
theres a line separating the 45 one and the 40 one
ok, lets assume that
so it's sides are
...
come on
what are it's sides
45 one yea
you said 6 for the long sides
so it's sides are
what is the area of a rectangle
in general
whats the formula
for rectangle area
alright
in the 45 triangle
it has two sides
which ones do we know
you could see that the entire time??
I was trying to make you notice it
anyways, so 45=5*(the other side)
do you understand why that's true
so area=length*width
area is 45
length is 5
45=5*width
yes
alright, we're getting somewhere
so the width is 9
so the part of the 13 side that is in the 45 rectangle area is 9
so what is one side of the 40 rectangle
YES
so whats the other side
fantastic
alright, so the width of the 40 cm rectangle is 10
now we can find one side of the gray rectangle
just find one side of the gray one first
we're on a roll
no no
side of the gray one
we know that the 40cm rectangle has a side with 10
for finding the side of the gray one
we're focused on the 5cm one
the 5 side of teh 45
yes
alright, lets find the other gray side
first find the sides of the 48 one
the SIDES of the 48 one
uh
not exactly
alright yes
now find the other side of the gray box

In the figure, ABCE is a square, BCF and CDE are equilateral triangles, and EB = 2, how long is the FD segment?
“ABCDE is a square” excuse me what is a square
so what have you tried?
I did the graphical representation but I can not seem to think of anything
so trying to solve it in a coordinatesystem?
Well I didnt mean that, I drew it
ahh okay ^^' well so i gotta ask do you know of the distance formula? (basically pythagoras theorem)
Well yeah
okay then my tip would be imagine the figure in a coordinatesystem, where B is on origio (0,0)
If we could figure out the coordinates of d and f we could use the distance formula
How, I mean I am not the best at drawing tbh
try to take a screenshot of the image with Windows+Shift+S instead of copy and pasting it since it contains transparency and looks messed up in discord
ok phone photo...well i guess it's a step up anyway...
Its the best I can get lol
sorry i wasnt clear we arn't gonna draw to figure it out, we need to calculate the coordinates
can't you take a screenshot of it?
I cant since this is training homework from past years, I dont know if I explained myself lol
what is the screen you are taking a photo of?
you have the image on something with a screen clearly
Yes
what is the red angle there?
30
30*
30 60 90 right triangle? idk
whats the measure of angle FCD?
90?
45 45 90 right triangle
guess so since its isosceles
is CD or FC length of 1*?
No
how did you get this
isnt FD = 2?
think about this triangle
!nosols
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.
Oh oh
so what is FD?
2
yes, basically the blue triangle is the same as the red triangle but rotated
Yeah I saw that lol
or if you dont notice that you can calculate the length of the sides of the square from the diagonal and then calculate the length of the hypotenuse of the blue

x(t1) = x(t2) and y(t1) = y(t2) for t1 != t2
make a system of equations from that
$x(t_1) = x(t_2)$ and $y(t_1) = y(t_2)$ for $t_1 \neq t_2$
Stephen
at some time t1, our coordinate is (x(t1), y(t1)) and at some time t2, our coordinate is (x(t2),y(t2))
we wanna find t1 and t2 such that (x(t1), y(t1)) is the same point as (x(t2),y(t2))
so rn we have
$x(t) = t^2 - 4$
Stephen
whats x(t_1) and x(t_2)
i mean its not wrong
we just have to find the t's now
its just another step in the process
.
no
if i asked u to find x(4)
what would u do
yes
now find x(t_2)
and y(t_1)
and y(t_2)
then use these equations to solve for t1 and t2
t_2^2 - 4 **
bruh u shda said if u got the point
idt u needa solve for t if u have the pt of intersection
cuz u alrdy got dy/dx

now down
i made it x-3 and x+3
but up
how do i split it without using quadratic formula
AC method
that wouldnt be particularly useful here
i can divide the thing beside x^2
by 2
no wait
well whenever i have such thing i divide the thing beside x by 2
do you know the ac method?
yeah just realized
seems you dont, if you have ax^2+bx+c, a method of factorisation is to find the factors of ac that sum to b, then split the x term into two and factorise by grouping
ye ik but isnt there a faster way to do it
like if i have x^2 + 6x + 25
lets say
i can do 6/2
whats the benefit of that
and get (x+3)^2 + 16
thats completing the square sure, but it doesnt help you here
oh
i dont see the point in that
the next step would to be cancel whatever factors are in the denom and numerators
ye
but wait
ax^2+bx+c
i shld get 2 numbers that the mul for them is b and the sum of them is c
or is it the opposite
product ac, sum b
ye
so the answer shld be
the sum of b
and the mul for ac
i learnt the long way but long ago
the thing where u go from ax^2+bx+c
to
ax^2+hx+px+c
and i learnt the one that u get the sum of the numbers and the mul of them
and u get the (x+smth)(x+smth)
oh
the long
maybe u can start guessing, 21 is 3 * 7, so u will have something like
(ax - 3)(bx + 7) since b is positive and c is negative,
and after some thinking u would say b should be 2 and a is 1 in order to get 2x^2 and +1 for b
(x-3)(2x+7)
ye that way i learnt
factoring?
and also u have (x-3) down so yeah, it has to be in top
can't you just use synthetic division here or no?
now ik that way but my problem is what do i do with the thing beside x^2
like in general
i usually divide the question by the thing beside it
i have said twice what to do
no thats the result, not the method
this
youre used to having a be 1, its no real difference
you cant just divide by a
expressions dont work like that, equality has to be maintained
wouldnt that make it more complicated as you'll have fractions?
oh ok wait
there is no shortcut, u either guess or the long road.
gussing for smalle equations and long road for complix ones
its not something they can do anyway, but yes
its not like you have to go through every factor pair, use some sense to guess
im sorry i didnt understand much what u said i dont learn math in english
ok i got how u got this
so it shld be a*c
and i shld get the sum of b to be the result of a*c
then i have 2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21
now
hm
now i take the x out of 2x^2 and 6x
so thats
and ill take the 2 too
so thats
2x(x-3)+(7x-21)
wait
2x(x-3)+7(x-3)
2x+7(x-3)(x-3)
hm
(2x+7)(x-3)(x-3)
now i have x-3 alone
i can cancel
actually
why have you created a cubic
a polynomial with a x^3, anyway you need to get rid of one of your x-3 s
its just (2x+7)(x-3)
no, there shouldnt have been 2 at any point
wait
i did this
ik, its fine up to here
where did any of this come from
mhm
ah ok got it
then i cancel
oh ok damn ty
ok solved
ok tysm appreciate the help guys

How do i rotate equations useing sin and cos to find the values of cos tan etc
What do you mean rotate
like rotation
like a clock
45,90 degrees
Use the equation 8x^2 - 4xy + 5y^2 = 36 to find tan 2
@fading sluice
rotate equations 
@twin shell Has your question been resolved?
heh?
@twin shell whots the question?
i emojied it
Okie dokie
this one
maybe not quite sure
but for these equations you have to eliminate the middle value
useing rotation
uh lets say we have to rotate the equation 45 degrees

we can use that to find different values for x and y
that are equal
know what i was talking about earlier in circles
sin150 and sin 30 are the same values
you can use the same principal in the equation itself
its a bit advanced ish though
its fine if you dont know
Still dont really understand how we are expected to solve the question though but lemme take a look
So
We use the ratio of y/x
To solve that equation thingy
And find tan 2 with it
What
?
Huh
its complicated
Awh

<@&286206848099549185>
@upbeat pike Has your question been resolved?
If you know how long it will take him, and you know the rate
Just multiply
@upbeat pike
well I think the question wants me to use the number of days
but the equation is in years
so idk how to like change it
look i got this
every month he pays 700
so every day he pays (700 * 12) / 365
if you multiply that by 2505 you get 57649.31
Seems right
Nice

how do i put thsi in my graphics calculator
plot 150 and the derivative of left side
Or do 800 * 0.0786 e^0.0786t - 150 = 0
Chain rule
And then subtract 150 on both sides so you can find the zeroes
Instead of trying to move your GDC window up to y = 150
Ofc this is solvable by hand as well
@brazen gazelle Has your question been resolved?
is there like a way i can just put that equation straight in
cuz i did find a d/dx but its got an x after it which i have to type in the value of x for
Depends on your calculator: TIs have NSolve and Casio has SolveN
I don't think you can put it straight in though
Like IIRC it should return an error if you try to do that, idk
Test it out yourself

can some1 please explain why we took the second derivatve?
look at the question
"is the rate of change increasing or decreasing"
rate of change is first derivative
ok we already have first derivative
and its the rate of change
why did we take second derivative
to see if its increasing or decreasing at t = 1
i just pluged in t=1 and y =2.5
