so i said increasing
so basically we are finding the slope of the slope
if that makes sense
yep exactly
so what does this mean
whether the "rate of change" is. increasing or decreasing"
why did my teacher evaluate it
because to solve for d^2y/dt^2 at t=1, u need dy/dt at t=1
look at
see how theres a dy/dt in there
thats why we need it

(I'll send my working so far in a sec)
Assume that (0,0) is a root. Vector OM is half of OA (if A is root). Multiply OA by i, to rotate it 90 deg giving OB. OB+OA=OC. Therefore (0,0), OA, OB and OC are the roots to an equation.
I'm currently stuck trying to find an equation that will have roots at these, and I'm not sure whether to start with the polar form or the cartesian form.
@cyan knoll Has your question been resolved?
@cyan knoll Has your question been resolved?
hello
@cyan knoll you need help?
biquadratic equation means it will have 4 roots
so its safe to assume that the required eqn is biquadratic right?
now if you have the 4 roots and you want to find the eqn, you can use the general method right?
so start with the cartesian form
x^4-(sum of roots)x^3+(sum of roots taken 2 at a time)x^2-(sum of roots taken 3 at a time)x+product of roots
and then why not substitute polar coordinates
rcos(theta), rsin(theta)

i would like some confirmation on this. if given y'f'(y) = 1, can we say that a necessary condition for y to be a solution is f(y) = t + C?
the lhs looks like it's just the derivative of f(y) wrt t, so it would seem that integrating both sides would give that condition
and similarly, can i say that y is a solution provided f(y(t)) = t - f(y(0))? this would be the result of integrating from 0 to t

How to prove this?
Both are well known identities equal to e
The first is using the compound interest formula, the second is using the series representation of e^x evaluated at x=1
Without the pretense that both are equal to e, how to prove they are the same?
I recommend using https://approach0.xyz/search/
Approach Zero: A math-aware search engine.
It searches for questions in Math SE and on AoPS
@wispy raptor Has your question been resolved?
Let e^x be the function that passes through (0,1) whose derivative is itself.
The left is the definition of the derivative for e^1
The right is the Taylor series for e^1
So like the derivative and taylor series should be same by definition?
Actually I guess I am assuming e^x is analytic
Wats analytic 🙃
Analytic means that a function can be represented by a Taylor series, essentially.
Does e^x actually match its Taylor series at x = 1? We don't know yet.
Oh
Anyways according to this i dont quite understand the circled part, can someone help explain it to me?
Let n/x = u and so x/n = 1/u
Then you have (1 + 1/u)^u, where u also goes to infinity as n goes to infinity (we assume x is held constant)
So that limit becomes e^x
I see
And now you can see why x can't be 0
What does the formal series n converge thingy mean tho?
Well we'll just have 1^n as n tends to infinity, no big deal
Basically we've formally shown the 2 series are the same
By taking the limit as n goes to infinity
So it can be 0 but it'll just be 1=1?
Which doesnt mean anything?
It's bad wording from someone who probably isn't a native speaker of English
Yeah so it doesn't matter we couldn't let x = 0 when we substituted n/x = u
Oh lmfaoo
Right thanks

If i am given, a=/0 and ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Will the equation have real roots if Discriminant is >= 0 ?
here i know, if D = 0 then we get repeated roots which are real
Yes
what if a,b,c belong to imaginary numbers?
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ) is greater than or equal to zero, then yes, the equation will have real roots. A discriminant of zero means one real, repeated root, and a positive discriminant means two distinct real roots.
but
this dosent make sense
??
what if a,b,c belong to imaginary numbers
then it doesn't make sense to compare the number 1 + 2i with 0 for example
just use the quadratic formula to get the two solutions
it still works all the same
then you can't say anything about the solutions
no you arent understanding
they may or may not be complex
?
the condition on a,b,c for the roots to be real if D >= 0
maybe i am phrasing it wrong mb
The roots will be real only if the discriminant’s imaginary part is zero and its real part is non-negative. Otherwise, the roots will be complex.
Was that more the kind of answer you were looking for..?
the condition is literally give by D >= 0 which implies b^2 - 4ac >= 0
what?
this is IF the coefficients are real
this is more of what i want
you've trailed off your main question like multiple times
i don't think anyone knows what's actually going on
sigh
wait
forget this mess
let me rephrase
I think your question was clear enough 

sorry :(
Here
Okay answer his question until he actually understands
without asking him to rephrase it lol
ignore the very ovious grammar error
😭
i am so sorry
should have done this first, my bad guys
It is true.
it isnt according to the tutor
and i highly doubt he is wrong
first
true if a, b, c are real
you can, theres a specific condition asked in the question
if you want to play the a,b, and c are real/imaginary game that is
yeah this is all assuming the coefficients are real
the condition given here(for D>0) for real roots is a,b,c belons to rational numbers
so for the answer, does real work or is rational a better answer?
Rational isn't wrong, since it's a subset anw. but real is more complete
hm
so for this part
No. No need to be rational. Just imagine any quadratic and multiply its coefficients by root(2). D continues to be >0
should it be real?
so real numbers
yes
It's literally all the same
Can we not predict if they belong to R?
In this context specifically
If u don't trust us then check wikipedia
In mathematics, the discriminant of a polynomial is a quantity that depends on the coefficients and allows deducing some properties of the roots without computing them. More precisely, it is a polynomial function of the coefficients of the original polynomial. The discriminant is widely used in polynomial factoring, number theory, and algebraic ...
we can
if you're confused about anything, just look at the whole quadratic formula. that works regardless of real/complex coefficients
Okay. I think I get his question.
Given two real roots, is it possible to construct a quadratic equation with complex coefficients?
@wraith hinge is this it?
no 😭
Bruh
guys
i will mess around with soem numbers and check what the confusion is
thank you for your time
and sorry 😞

How to verify if the segments are parallel, i cant get the same number
Wdym by 'same number'
they just mean they don't get an equivalent ratio that proves parallel property
I tried solving it by gcf and dividing but they get two separate decimals
Then that means AY is not parallel to WX
Could you translate what the question says?
Ok
It just says on this, decide if WX is parallel to AY
Yes so the answer will be false
but will ask
what numbers do u get
like what numbers did u use to get that results
18 and 32 gcf and 15 25 gcf
I tried dividing but they get different numbers

can i just ask about this question
I think it's uncountably infinite, because x and y go to infinity because they're just members of the uncountably infinite set of real numbers right?
Like there's nothing to limit them
so the graph will keep growing larger and wider as x or y increases
Am i correct in everything I've just said?
you're right, though there are probably nicer ways to phrase that
if you're allowed to use calculus/analysis there are some good proof of what you just said in nicer terms
i mean we were never told not to use anything
it's just the concept is fairly new to me so I'm trying to understand them
have you heard of the intermediate value theorem
i think I've seen it but we've never actually used it
Would it be like using f(a) ≤ x, y ≤ f(b) where a = -∞ and b = ∞
or something
this is a good place to use it, it gives you a nice solution to the question
it says that if f(a) < f(b), then for every number d between f(a) and f(b), there is some other number c so that f(c) = d
we can look at it in your specific case
rewrite the equation as
y = 2x^2 + e^x - 1
the right term is a continuous function
and you have that
y(0) = 0, y(1) = 1 + e
does this make sense so far
Yes
then you have that y(0) < y(1)
so y must cross through every value between 0 and 1 + e
so you have at least as many elements as [0, 1 + e]
well that the cardinality of [0, 1 + e] is uncountable, but that should be known

Your volume proportion is wrong-
Remember that lengths in B would be sqrt{25/64} of those in A, and how that relates to your volume proportions
@wraith hinge Has your question been resolved?
So I square 625/4096?
Would that mean the case has a volume of 22,728.33281?
That seems a bit unrealistically large
No, you already are too large(!)
Square root the 25/64, then cube what you get from that
i already did that for the sake of doing that
it’s 0.625
Is the answer 325.08
@whole coral
Not quite no 
As in this is what you get from (25/64)^(3/2)?
oh
why do you power it to 3/2?
originally you’d square it
then square it
Square root to get the length proportion, cube to turn the length proportion into the volume proportion
@wraith hinge Has your question been resolved?
What
Do you know how the lengths, surface areas and volumes in similar shapes relate?
You were given how the surface areas are related, and you want how the volumes are related from that
No it isn’t-
Remember that only surface areas have the squared units, volumes have cubed units (e.g. m^3, ft^3 etc etc)
No you don’t - that would give you something to the power 4, not 3
Square root (which will turn your cm^2 to cm) and then cube that (which will turn said cm to cm^3)
yes that’s what I said right
So 3, 9, 27
as an example i mean
and we start with 9
so we square root then cube
That’s how you’d do it sure (though you didn’t say that
)
so where was my mistake
Well as per before, you basically start with 25/64 and you wanna do this
For the last one you said squaring it (which isn’t quite how you’d do it
)
Yep, that’s it 
Then use that number as my factor?
Yep, as the factor for the volume, the volume of B is that factor of the volume of A
so 514.8 divided by 125/512
2108.6208
subtract 541.8 from that
you get 1,566.8208
Is that correct
Well, more that you know that as the volume of B is 125/512 of the volume of A
Then the volume of A is 512/125 that of volume B
If I call V the volume of B, then in that case, you know that (512/125)V - V = 541.8, and you can solve that for V
can you just solve it
it’s so late
ive been working with a group of friends to solve this 💀
also this came on my mock paper
and i got like 1/5
We can’t, not allowed to-
😕
This is pretty close to solved though, you just need to find V from that
is x 175
Then the V is your answer
175?
Yep that’s it 
There you go 
No problem 
A tiny bit, you gotta know how the proportions of volumes work, and knowing that you can write everything in terms of the volume of B makes life much easier to work with
Something that trips people up is relating surface areas to volumes and vice versa

when we're referring about frequency we mean how the original signal its splitted up with different signal's ?
I.e u[n] is declared for n>0 with amplitude 1.
And it’s z transform is 1/1-z^-1
If you substitute at z=2, you get z=0.5 , what does this mean ? What it makes it uniquely and differentiate from the time domain ?when we're referring about frequency we mean how the original signal its splitted up with different signal's ?

,rotate
yes
3
huh
pi
huhhh
not that good at math but isn't it just 3sin(x) + some offset
y=3sin(1/2x)
no
can u explain?
there's no vertical or horizontal shift here
the period is being modified as opposed to the regular one sinx=y
2pi
that's PERIOD
yo let me answer
plz don't dispense incorrect advice
I'm sorry jack
its alr
we make mistakes
now
can someone tell me THE STEPS TO MAKE AN EQUATION FROM THE GRAPH PLS uwu 🙂
^ answer this
then check the amplitude of the graph on yr question
the amplityue is the max + min / 2
No
yes
Thats what I mean
Basically the amplitude is 3
oh ya
cuz the upper bound and lower bound is just 3 and negative 3 but amp is always |B| so its just 3
Yep... this is the easy case
what about horizontal stretch/shirnk
the factor responsible for stretch is sin (ax)
how do i find that
i dont get what u mean by comparing with 2pi
one sec brb
alr I am back
@fast ginkgo @dapper swift
how long is the period in a normal sine wave sinx typically
2pi, what's the period here
note that the stretch factor is inversely proportional
The period is when you have one full cycle
So it goes through one min and one max very cycle
e.g. if the period is 2 times the usual then the factor is 1/2
a period is the length of one full wave
mhmmm
or from peak to peak
so its pi?
correct
so the period is 1/2 of sinx which has a period of 2pi
does that give you any indication of how to find the stretch factor
holup
you can graph these things on desmos fyi
i dunno how you drew that conclusion

@fast ginkgo
why ping
i don't understand the point of your question
you literally plotted it on desmos no
naturally youd have a better idea of what the period is than i would by estimating from a picture
the graph is cos(x)
then wdym by asking if it's the period of a cos graph

do you know how to count one cycle
i think you may have some terms confused because your questions are not making a whole lot of sense right now ibr
pls explain
the perird is the time it takes for one cycle to complete
I am pretty sure that right
*the length
?
okay sure the duration of a cycle
you can count number of cycles from anywhere
e.g.
it doesn't really matter as long as a full wave is accounted for
so was blue line from left to the blue line a full wave?
you only have 1 blue line here
if you had another around x=11ish that would look like a full wave
but again idt youll be asked to visually estimate periods very often (???)

i know that x = rcos(theta) and y = rsin(theta)
but the thing is
when i put rcos(theta) = rsin(theta) into desmos, it doesn't work
Thats because your parameter is theta
what went wrong?
what should i do then?
you can easily solve it by hand
r = 0 is one solution, and for nonzero r you can divide both sides by r
r cos(theta) = r sin(theta)
plug in r = 0, you get 0 = 0 which is true
to get the rest of the solution (the case where r is nonzero), divide both sides by r
They are trying to find the polar equation for y=x
yeah
so graphing works with y=x
but i don't know how to do it with polar equation
r cos(theta) = r sin(theta)
divide both sides by r
it's like the third time i've said that
did you try it?
you can do this by hand, ignore the software
if you divide both sides of r cos(theta) = r sin(theta) by r, what is your new equation?
it would be cos(theta)=sin(theta)
i still don't know how to graph cos(theta)=sin(theta) on the paper
its kinda confusing
do you know a trig identity that involves sin and cos?
oh tan?
in particular, what happens if you divide both sides of cos(theta) = sin(theta) by cos(theta)?
yes
um if you divide both sides by cos(theta), then you would get 0 = tan(theta)?
you divide cos(theta) by cos(theta) and you get 0?
um theta could be pi/4, 3pi/4
pi/4 yes
wait no
3pi/4 no, that would be -1
yea
yea
the line only invovles
theta = pi/4 or 5pi/4
the 1st and 3rd quadrants!!!
or those plus any multiple of 2pi
and r can be anything
as you vary r you move along the line
wait but that's not a line is it?
i know those are 2 points of the line y = x
but how is it a line?
theta = pi/4, that's a half line, right?
the 1st quadrant part of the line y=x
and theta = 5pi/4 is the other half, the part in the 3rd quadrant
technically the origin isn't included in either of those, since the theta is undefined at the origin
that's why i mentioned r=0 separately earlier
🤔
graph of theta = pi/4 is a full line i think, not just a half line
r can take on any value including negative ones, and 0
theta = pi/4 and theta = 5pi/4 are both valid polar equations representing the line y = x
but you don't need both
yea depends on the convention in force here
whether we're restricting r to be >=0 or not
i gotta admit i didn't read the full chat history, but would there be a reason for r to be >= 0
if you're just talking about generic polar coordinates \ equation that should definitely include any value for r right?
depending on context that could mean r >= 0 or not
only the OP can tell us which is the case in their context
when is r restricted to >= 0 in polar coordinates? 🤔
wait now that i think
both
sin(theta)=cos(theta)
and
tan(theta) = 1
seem acceptable?
sure, they are equivalent
they all just mean y = x
tan theta = 1 for theta = pi/4 or theta = 5pi/4
ya but like i don't think you actually ever DEFINE polar coordinates like that, in some contexts you just might need to have a unique representation of each point so you restrict r to a subset
mhm
but im also thinking that pi/4 is both 1st and 3rd quadrants?
i'm fairly agnostic about it personally, but i have no idea whether whoever's grading chimken's work would accept just theta = pi/4 as they might have the r>0 requirement.. whereas theta = pi/4 and theta = 5pi/4 works regardless of convention
because it can be (n, pi/4) as well as (-n, pi/4)
also, if they want the full solution it would have to be pi/4, 5pi/4, plus any integer multiples of 2pi
put theta = pi/4 into any graphing calculator
i'm not gonna engage this further, it seems like a pointless debate without knowing the op's convention
fair, but my argument is that it's a widely known / accepted convention, there is not really variation here
r can be any real number, so coordinate (r, pi/4) includes points like (-2, pi/4), (0, pi/4) etc.
this is the answer key i have
looks like they treat pi/4 as a line
yes, thats how it should be
because it can be (n, pi/4) as well as (-n, pi/4)
like, (-n, pi/4) is the same as (n, 5pi/4)
right
uh 5pi/4 you mean
yes, so in cartesian coordinates each point has a unique representation, it's convenient
the thing with polar coordinates is there are many representations of the same point, in fact infinite representations
so (-n, pi/4), (n, 5pi/4), also (-n, 9pi/4) etc. you can keep adding 2pi to either of those two and its the same point
yup
i see the convention
so just keep in mind that the point is the actual object and a set of coordinates is just a representation of it and not unique, it can cause confusion with polar coordinates
theta = pi/4 is the same as y=x
it could've been 5pi/4 too
but just for the convention
mathematicians said
lets use pi/4?
but like bungo said, each point will have a unique representation if you restrict r >= 0 and 0<= theta < 2pi
except origin i guess, not sure what the convention for that is
if you think of those restrictions
yeah i think i get the idea at this point
it will definitely help me on the test 
i appreciate your help!
in general, origin can be represented by any theta as long as r = 0

how do i prove this series converges or diverges?
for large n, (n-1)/(n^2-n+1) is approximately 1/n and arcsin(1/n) is approximately 1/n
that should motivate a solution
what do i use to turn (n-1)/(n^2-n+1) into 1/n? if i divide everything by n^2 wont it turn into 0?
you don't need to "turn it into anything"
what i wrote above was supposed to motivate limit comparison test

show your work
from exponent laws
$$\frac{p^x}{q^x} = \br{\frac pq}^x$$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
since the power is the same, you can do division on the bases, the power will remain
apply
$$\frac{p^x}{q^x} = \br{\frac pq}^x$$
to
$$\frac{36^{2m}}{108^{2m}}$$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
Like after that
wdym
well, the bases aren't the same, powers aren't the same
so you can't do much directly
So what would be next
simplify the 36/108
1/3
you may also recognise that 216 is a power of 6
This correct so far?
yes
recall what i mentioned earlier about 216 being a power of 6
powers don't get cancelled like that at the very bottom
OHHH
I FORGOT
Right
According to the rule you sent

Hellow guys dose anyone knows how to do this
dear
should be (secx + tanx)’
btw ||dy/dx=secx|| only view to confirm
I did chain rule and I got the 1/1+sinx 😭😭
no you forgot to differentiate
(u(v(x)))'=u'(v(x))v'(x)
you wrote down v(x)
I didn’t know about this
there should've been a look up table in your book for such basic derivatives
anyway
you do now
so apply

is this rocket scinece or what. how do i even prove that they are equal to each other. should i just put the two equations equal to each other and solve? but solve for what variable?
you're showing a trigonometric identity (true no matter what), so you take one side and manipulate it until it looks like the other side
i would recommend you start with the angle sum identity

Hello people, I’m facing yet another math problem. So here is the issue - we’re writing a test tomorrow and I couldn’t come to math class cause I was sick. Now, I’m trying to review the material before the test and I simply don’t even know how one should approach the problem I’m facing. Here is the problem:
You are given a circle k, with center S and radius r. Then you are also given a circle m, with center O and radius v. Find all line segments XY, such that X belongs to k and Y belongs to m, XY is parallel to SO and also |XY| = 1/2|SO|, where |x| represents the length of the segment.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated
@frank abyss Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> if anyone feels like it pls 🙏🙏
ok here is a picture with all the information given ig
Yea I'm thinking maybe since it's parallel, there wouldn't be that much solutions
first off check this value: distance between S and O minus (v+r). this value should be less than 1/2 of SO
if it is greater, you dont have a solution
yea that makes sense
if they are equal, you get one solution. that is the line segment that lies on SO
if it is less, then you get only 2 solutions
can't there be more symmetric solutions
oh there can't
cause there are at most 2 pairs of points w/ distance 1/2 of SO
yepp
however, how would you find that?
oh let me look at thjis
now im not sure if my method is the most efficient one, but i would say parameterise the distance in terms of theta
WHAT did you just say??
parameterise
if I have a circle of radius r, with centre at origin
then for all points on that circle, x= rcos theta and y = r sin theta
does this make sense?
oh wait let me draw this
actually nevermind
I think I know what you mean
im sure there is a simpler solution
its like a right angled triangle with that radius
someone else will probably be able to help better. in case i find the solution, I'll let uk
still tysm for trying to help!
i'll work with the observations you mentioned in the meantime
ok I get this now
you just kind of made a vector out of it
yepp
so assume the origin is at O
first circle's coordinates are v cos theta and v sin theta
the other circle's coordinates are r cos alpha and SO + r sin alpha
ok i'll draw this one out
for our line to be parallel, v cos theta = r cos alpha (same x coordinates)
and v sin theta + r sin alpha = 1/2 SO
if you solve these two equations, and get either alpha or theta
yea like a relation
what does the other angle have to be when the first angle is fixed
get the other angle from this relation
they don't necessairly have to be the same tho?
oh but in this case yes
but in this exact case the x coordinate has to be the same regardless
cause then the lines wouldn't be parallel
but if the lines were like slanted
you could still use the same relation
x coordinate will be same but the angles alpha and theta will be different
then the x coordinates wont be the same
yea but it doesn't matter much, cause you can still sort of transform the problem
mhm
or just calculate out the second point
cause you just have to add some constant
which is the |x1 - x2| of the first line segment
hmm i guess so
yea okay lets assume both are on the same x axis, I can solve these edge cases by myself
but what you are essentially saying is that we have a system of two equations
that are both solvable
yes
v cos theta = r cos alpha
its a fact not an assumption
cuz we have taken s directly above o
and any line parallel
will have both its points having the same x coordinate
yea in my drawing but if the line segment SO were to be slanted, to draw a parallel line distant by sth we just have to add some constants that can be calculated to the equation
yep... but the question doesnt mention any specific coordinate system
so for similar questions, we can always take our system such that the centres have the same x coordinates
cause like in this special case it is a fact that |SO| + rsin alpha - v sin theta = 1/2|SO|
makes life much easier
thats actually very smart
and that trick with moving stuff to the origin aswell
im a competetive programmer so i don't know much about real geometry problems lol
ah its just experience
i always just cross/dot product it xd
thats cool!
ok thank you for your help
i value it that you have taken your own time
and this trick with parameterising trick looks neat
i will definitely (ab)use it in the future!
glad I helped!
