it just tells me good luck
not literally
but kind of
no
what if i use
sqrt(x) + sqrt(y) + sqrt(z) <= sqrt(3(x+y+z))
tried squaring?
no
might try
try it but ig it will goo too far but there's nothing bad to it

They guy on the image did just sum up the areas and did not take into account that some areas are below the X-axis. Is this correct??
it is used to find the point of intersections
now you have to calculate the area using integration
yes i know sorry i didnt sent entire image but he integrated it as everything would be above the x axis
When you subtract the top graph from the bottom graph it all comes above the axis
how?
look what he did is just what you are saying
yea thats corect but that doesnt mean you get the right area
We do
he just did integrated (f(x)-g(x))
You don't care about if the area is under or over the x axis
You can shift both graphs equally as much as you want up or down and the area bounded by them remains the same
but in integration the area that is under the x axis will subtract from the the area above?????
yup
That's only when we're talking about area under a single curve
thats exactly what we are saying
not here buddy
^
We're talking about the area bounded by both the curves here, not the area under the curve
So we only care about the difference
but why would that be diferent if you have more curves it is the same as you would first calculate the first area under the curve and then second but in this case the second area wont be corect because part of the graph is under the axis
@steel bobcat Where?
Which graph is under the axis?
ask in some other help channel
#❓how-to-get-help use this
Ok
the x^2+2x has some area under the x axis
You only care about the positive difference between the two curves, not whether the actual curves go above or under the x axis
You can shift the graphs above the x axis appropriately so that all the area is above the x axis
It doesn't make a difference
Because you can shift both graphs by the same amount either up or down without changing the area bounded by them
okay but then why you can say so for the area under 1 curve
You can't shift a single curve without changing the area bounded by it
lol sorry that was really stupid i get it now
Thanks for the help

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
In general you only care about the positive difference between the two curves
You can think of it as making tiny rectangles inside the area in question, where the height is the difference between the values of the curves

but dont the curves determine where the area will be and by integrating it will automatically subtract the areas below the curve from above so even if you can shift it without chaning area this will still be a problem?
.reopen
What?
I didn't understand your question
You do need to check which curve is greater than the other one in the region(s) in question, if that's what you're asking
when you will integrate it will automaticly subtrack the area under the axis from above so it doesnt matter if you can shift the graph to be positive if you dont take that anywhere into account

Domain of 1/√(x^2-36)
Yeah
Greydawn Dewer
Greydawn Dewer
take out the domain from this
and write it in interval notaion if you want like
this is better
Greydawn Dewer
where x is the limit value
Yes
equal 0 no?
um, you would need to be knowing how to solve that inequality
we need this inequality to be true for god's sake, and the values which dont allow that come under the domain
the values from 0 to 6 dont allow that
and 0 to -6 for the other side what so ever
and every value to till infinity does allow us to prove that inequality
this is the interval notation so yeah
you mainly asked for representation, I gave you the whole context

how can i solve question (e) in this pic?
∫f(x)dx from 1 to x = 0.95
the answer is gon be in negative should i take the absolute value?
why is it negative?
cuz the intergral of f(x) is -1/x^2
u should get two solutions
reject the negative one
this is the equation u r solving
-1+0.95 = -0.05
issoke
ok last question as you can say in part (d) its X<4 or X>8
should the intergral be from 1 to 4 + 4 to 8?
or should it be 1 to 4 + 1 to 8?
its not saying this
its saying x is between 4 and 8
so u integrate from 4 to 8 simply
x<8 means x is anything below 8
4<x means x is anything above 4
its C that says X is between 4 and 8
oh wait
yeah
i misread
for D, u integrate from 1 to 4
then u 1-(integral from 1 to 8)
then u add
okay yeah i understand now its the same as say from 8 to inf right?
yeah

i need to calculate the following series $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty (k+5)0.6^k 0.4 =0.4 (\sum_{k=0}^\infty k 0.6^k + 5\sum_{k=0}^\infty 0.6^k) $$
so the far right sum is geometric, that's easy
but what about $\sum_{k=0}^\infty k 0.6^k$
mhhh seems like a known one
it reminds me of power series
or generating functions
where $a_n = 1, 2, 3, ...$

oops i messed up the indices
This list of mathematical series contains formulae for finite and infinite sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums.
Here,

{\displaystyle 0^{0}}

$2019^{2019^3} \mod 11$
Merineth
I got a quick question about congruency
Fermats little theorem say that
$2019^{10} = 1 \mod 11$
Merineth
$2019^{10} = 1 \mod 11 \$
$[2019^{10}]{11} = [1]{11}\$
$2019^{10} \equiv 1 \mod 11$
Merineth
There we go..
Are all of these saying the same thing? And are they accruate?
@whole coral my love 
And they are all just saying:
When 2019^10 is divided by 11 we get a remainder of 1?
yep
Merineth
Merineth
$2019^{999}$
Merineth
Like so maybe?
9*9 = 81
so we get 2019^9
But then what do i do D:
I can't simplify further with fermats
because the exponent is smaller than the p-1 in fermats
you said ...^10 = 1
Right, yea
hmm
I'm not sure i follow
Why are we going back to 2019^3?
When i had 2019^9 simplified down
Merineth
This is what i'm starting with, right?
yep
Merineth
This is what fermats says
Meaning i can simplify as many mutliples of 10 in the exponent as i can, right?
and that would be 201 of them
$2019^{999}$
Merineth
This should be correct
no you could have simplified if it were 2019+2019+2019
hold on I'm thinking
oh wait maybe it is allowed
yeah ok
also
note that you're allowed to simplify more than the power
2019?
oh GOOOOOOOOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i'm supposed to do 2019/11
to find the remainder..
aren't i?

Merineth
nice
nice
OH i know
what to do
i can expand the base
with 6*6 and reduce the exponent with 1
$36^8$
Merineth
uh no
no?
2^4 = 4^2
not 4^3
if you wanted 6^2 to show up
you'd need to divide the exponent by 2
but from here you can just go 1 by 1
start with 6
then 6^2
then 6^3
do at least those first three and you'll see
we can use 6^9 = (6^3)^3
$6^9 = 666666666$
Merineth
Right?
yep
$6^9 = 666666666 = 36^7$
Merineth
wut?
.
never mind
$6^9$
Merineth
I fail to see how i can use this
$6^9 = (6^3)^3$

Hiya, how would you go about solving this question? I'm a bit confused
we want to solve the equation
[\mathrm{pH} = 0 = \log_{10}\ab(\frac 1{H^+})] for $H^+$
cloud
yes
how can we eliminate the log?
what is the opposite of taking a logarithm?
an exponent?
yes
no, the opposite of x^10 is 10√x. the log_10(x) is the opposite of 10^x
we want to apply the function 10^(x) on both sides of the equation
how do you do that?
same as applying anything else on both sides of an equation. you have 10^(left side) = 10^(right side)
oh okay
so it's just 10^x on one side because it's 0 right? so it would be 10^x=1/h^+?
no... the left side is 0, so it is 10^0
so x is 0?
that is the input of the function in this case
how does that work though
if i said apply the function log(x) to both sides of the equation z = 10, x is just standing in for the input of log. you would get log(z) = log(10)
im sorry
i dont really know what a function is
i google it
okay so
i understand you need to add 10 to both sides
but not really from there?
@red sentinel Has your question been resolved?
well taking 10^(something) is the opposite action of taking log_10(something)

How would I go about finding the zeros of the polynomial
i mean, they kinda already factorised it for you
in P(x)=(x-a)(x-b), a and b are the roots, since subbing it in will make P(x)=0
So do I do P(0)=(0-2)(0-2)
Ahhh THANKS
So when it comes to the outside numbers such as -2 what do I do with it
they dont matter
Just the parentheses got it
if you put it im the beacket or anything, its the same as -2x-4=0
its still equal to -2
So when it asks the smallest medium and largest zeros is it based on how many of the same number you get or the smallest to largest based off of its negative or positive sign
if you have an x on the outside tho, that means x=0 tho
i mean
id assume its the latter
multiplicity is something else
multiplicity is
what power the parenthesis is to
all of these dont have a power
so its single roots
if i had P(x)=(x-a)^2 tho, thats a double root
So for example if it's F(x)=-4(x + 3) (x + 3) x + 3)(x-2)
The zeros are 2 -3
And the smaller zero has a multiplicity of 3
So is it because the three is in the parentheses?
And then the largest hero has a multiplicity of one, I just don't understand how to get three and one
Sorry that's the last question I really have
?
(x+3)(x+3)=(x+3)^2
This for an example, how do I find the smallest zero
I got the first and last one right but the middle one wrong
OOOH
so you can group it into (x+2)^3

Hey I need help for finding the equation for b and c
@naive solstice
lollllll
Hola
yes it is
Hi sis 
but lol
Lol ty! So for the last one, section c how would I do it and what's the equation:D pls
Okok
Triple the help XD
It says
Read the first part
It is written number of years after 2012
I hope you will get it now
And your are asked to find population 13.1 years after
2012
My msg did not get sent
I just need to figure out how to get 13.1
How many years after 2012
Or any other value if it asks question like this
11-6.67?
p(t) is population in millions after 2012
And t is years after 2012
I hope u will be able to do it now
Uhh... o.o
Is there a formula or how would I set it up I'm confused
@mild oxide 

Halp
Pweaseee
@dry copper could u help with section c I am confused
How to write it in a equation or what steps to take 

I understand A. And B. I don't understand C my mind goes blank
P(t)=0.73e^(0.0376t)
I have a deja vu 
What do u feel
LIsten
Bout this equation
buy some ram
Lol
My mind absorbs and spits out
oh i know that feeling
You can buy from adonis
It's fried have to get a whole new system now
Bro has loads and loads of ram in his mind
it seems like you dont like math at all
Like if bro remembers he remembers
I do but I zone out easily lol...
Yes
I always ended up doing really good in the very beginning of math and then towards the middle and the end of the course and I start drawing
Can you explain what it is you don't understand?
Imma explain very simply now
vibe
And I look up and I just become lost ones and I can never get back on the train
Listen carefully

P(t) spits out the population in millions t years after 2012
Now when u put t
You get population t years after 2012 in millions
Now they say when the population be 11 million
So they are simply asking after how many years after 2012
Did u understand now?
I think it's better to imagine that t are the years passed since 2012
So t = 0 implies the population in 2012
t = 1 in 2013 (one year later) and so on
and in total we are witnessing an exponential growth which isn't surprising
that's like the idea
So oppa is saying so right
P(t) = 11 mio
P(t)=0.73e^(0.0376(11)?
they are asking you to find how many years have passed before the population reached 11 million
Oh
nope
You explained it so perfectly to me about 8 days ago
I think now I'm just blanking
P is your population
that depends on time since it increases
with years
passing
so we also write P(t) P of t
population with respect to time
now we wanna know how many years have passed since 2012
where the population P = 11 mio
So we do P = 11
P(t) = 11
and solve for t
which gives us the time in years passed since 2012
P(11)=0.73e^(0.0376t)?
Why P(11)?
11 million?
that means Population after 11 years since 2012
but you say P(t)
P(11) means P at t = 11
but it's the other way
P = 11 at what t = ?
P(t) = 11 is the notation
What is the arrow thingy
ok let me delete
Sorry ty for helping me
oh no
Hm?
the arrow means equivalence
but i deleted it because i thought maybe it's too complicated
For my brain yesh
Yes
Ok weird
It's marked red because I left it empty submitted it and it gives you the correct answer
Like basically letting you know what it should have been
I checked the function P(t) and it doesnt make sense
So all of those are the correct answer I know how to get A n B of course
,w plot 0.73e^(0.0376t) between 0 and 14
Like for b)
2018
implies it's been 6 years since 2012
so we would calculate P(6), no?
Mhm! That's super easy
,w 0.73e^(0.0376*6)
so like
that's not even close to 1 mio
but it says 8.4 mio
so i suspect somethings off
b
and there is some other function
U miss 6
Oh
And put zero on accident
Np haha Cx I'm a math genius now
Ok let me explain c) from scratch
You dont understand what to do?
What it is about?
delete it please haha
Wouldn't this be correct tho
I will retype it
OvO
$P = P(t)$ denotes the population
$\ t$ denotes the time in years (passed since 2012)$\$
Now we wanna figure out how many years passed since 2012, where the population $P(t)$ is at 11 million.$\$
Mathematically it means $$P(t) = 11$$ that's what is to figure out.$\$
We know $$P(t) = 6.73e^{0.0376t}$$ so we do $$6.73e^{0.0376t} = 11$$ and the rest is algebra.
𝔸dωn𝓲²s
back
That was fast
Stay hydrated
yes
Operation?
it's as stupid as it sounds reasoning
What would be the proper name
P(t) gives back population (in million) and you want to know when the function reaches 11
Yeah I guess a formula is set in stone
Like y=mx+b never changes so is it called an operation? Or just an equation
It's an equation
thank you!
anything with ... = ... is equation
operations are like
addition, subtraction, dividing, multiplication
basically what you apply on both sides of an equation
I see, Duly noted ty!
any more doubts?
Before I close what language do you speak

No all cleared thank you thank you thank you

Heres my working so far
Im having a bit of trouble changing dx to dy.
From the original equation, I am missing a 2 on the denominator.
Could I simply add this in and add a 2 on the left side of the integrand?
@jovial wing Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
substitution?
just change the bounds and plug in the values of different things involving x in terms of u
what im used to is matching the integral to du
to get the dx to the du
so in other words, get the function to look like this or have featues of 1/2sqrtx so I can sub du in and take away the values related to dx
yeah but what's the problem?
you're on the right track
Thats the part I am a bit rusty on with this topic
Do I have to change up the original function to try to replicate a 1/2sqrt x
and by doing this do I also have to balance it out on the outside of the integral
(you could also write that, if it makes it easier, to write what you have as $2\sqrt{x} \dd u = \dd x$ and manipulate that way)
@whole coral
your original function already have a sqrtx in denominator
you can use that too
(so you can also multiply by 2/2, so that you get the required 2sqrt{x} in the denominator)
Yeah I noticed that part, now to add a 2 in. Can I simply add 2 to the denominator and then have the outside multiplied by 2?
would that work out?

Have you tried setting $x = k\cos(\theta)$ and putting that into $27x^3 - 9x$? The idea is that, from that point, there's a choice of $k$ that makes it easier to solve for $\theta$, given the identity $\cos(3\theta) = 4\cos^3(\theta) - 3\cos(\theta)$...
@whole coral
i have no clue how to execute that idea tho
That's fair, did you try the substitution or not though?
yea
And what did you get?
idk what from here
if i try say that
27k^3=4, i get the wrong answer
idk what to do
Well, we could also have that 27k^3 be some multiple of 4, but then we want 9k to end up being a "similar" multiple of 3
The choice isn't immediately obvious, I will say
(that said, to clarify the above point, by "some multiple of 4" I'm meaning you find something like 27k^3 = 4m for some integer m, but by the "similar multiple" part, I'm hinting you find that 9k = 3m as well)
mmmm
should i try find for that integer m and sub it into the other part or wrong way
aaa
i got it
like this?
That works, yep 
Yep, k is 2/3
pretty hard to hint at without giving it all away, I shall say

.reopen
✅
i cant think of a legal way to do b lmao
gives right ans if i say theta =… and then say x=kcostheta
but idk why it works
nvmmm

what can i do from here
is it just 1?
in the answer key is says limit x -> 0- is -1, and limit x -> 0+ is 1
simplifying sqrt((dx)^2) into dx is wrong
the answer depends on the sign of dx
just like sqrt((-3)^2) = sqrt(9) = 3, and not -3
well it depends on the sign of dx
so when dx-> 0+ for example
how does sqrt((dx)^2) get simplified?
(dx > 0)
ohhhh bruh
it would just be the value
we're taking the absolute value of dx
lmao aight
i see
always good to remember |x| = sqrt(x^2)

what does this mean
i think it means that, for what k do we have that when sin(x) is reflected through the vertical line at k, it turns into cos x
oh how do i figure that out
well, what is sin(x) after it gets reflected by k?
Suppose you have a point x0,y0. How would that change when you reflect it in a line say x = x1
Use that to evaluate the function at that new point
and that is supposed to be the cos for new point
how do i figure out what k is
first figure out what sin(x) is after it gets reflected by k.
then use this to figure out what k is
you will get sin(something in terms of x and k)=cos(x) [since reflection by k turns sin(x) into cos(x)]
and you can solve for k that way
isnt that dependent on what k is
yeah, exactly, and we will get sin(somthing in terms of x and k)
sin(-x-k) ?
maybe it'd more helpful if you visualize it on a graph
well almost! what is x after getting reflected by k?
say if k=1, then 2 gets reflected to 0
but -2-1 is -3, certainly different from 0
thats close, but not quite. if x gets reflected to another point l, then their average should be k
that is, (x+l)/2=k
oh i just created a name for the reflection
i kind of get it
ye ty i get it
so what is sin(x) after reflection by k?
what this graph sort of says is that it is important to know what x after getting reflected by k is
it means that our new reflected function evaluated at x = sin evaluated at x after reflection
what does evaluated mean
idk ;-;
oh sin(x) is the equivalent of saying sin evaluated at x
”evaluated at“ is "taking the input“
sin(x+k/2)?
still off
let's do a simpler case first: what is x after it is reflected by k?
so r u trying to say our new reflected function at x is sin(x) after reflection
yeah!
it is important fact: if the reflection of a function $f(x)$ about $k$ is $g(x)$
qwertytrewq
then $f(x \text{ reflected by }k)=g(x)$
qwertytrewq
bro why am i so stupid
wdym reflected by k
is k like an imaginary straight line
yeah
reflected by the green line
its 2 times distance betgween x and k
wait that didnt make sense
i am asking what is this point in terms of x and k
x+2k
-x+2k?
yes
notice that this fact basically tells us that our reflected function is sin(x reflected by k) which is sin(-x+2k)
uh huh
if you want me to explain why that fact is true i could try
yea pls
ok, but first i need to ask: do you know what i mean by f(x) or g(x)?
some school don't teach this symbol
doesnt that just mean different functions
yes
f(x)=y
ah yeah
OK, lets say we have some function f (in red) and we reflect by the green line (x=k),
let us call the new reflected function g
yes
🤔 then we ask the question: what is g(x)?
y=(x-11)^2
oh f and g are arbitrary functions (i just picked a nice one to explain the intuition
oh ok
well, we know that x after it gets reflected by the green line (x=k), has the formula -x+2k, that you calculated before
yes
now what is f evaluated at -x+2k?
g(x)
notice that the four points i drew forms a rectangle
this means that (x,g(x)) reflected by the green line is exactly (-x+2k,f(-x+2k))
(x,g(x)) is the point on our graph
and (-x+2k, f(-x+2k)) is also a point on the graph
yes ic
but, of course, reflection by vertical line dont change the "vertical" value
f(-x+2k)=g(x)
it means that, the second coordinate of (x,g(x)) is equal to the second coordinate of (-x+2k,f(-x+2k))
yes your graphs r helpful
so, in other words, f(x reflected by k)= g(x)
pretty neat fact
yea
ok back to our question
let us define g(x) to be sin(x) reflected by k
so, we have the formula g(x)=sin(-x+2k)
now the question is: when is our g(x)=cos(x)?
the key to solving question like this, is to plug in special values, like x=0 (this is special because cos(0)=1)
so we have sin(2k)=g(0)=cos(0)=1, what must k be?
pi/4
well notice that sin is periodic (it reaches 1 at multiple values)
so pi/4 is not the only solution
um not quite
9pi/4
wait my back 3pi/4 doesn't work
5pi/4 works
well sin(x) reaches 1 every 2pi cycles
so sin(2x) reaches 1 every pi cycle
we know that sin( 2* pi/4)=0
so k must be pi/4 +n pi (for integer n)
sorry does the * mean times or to the power
times
^ is to the power usually
yes ic
now here is the tricky part: we derived that k must be these values, but does all of these values work?
yes right
lets check: if k=pi/4 + n pi, then g(x)=sin(-x+2k)= sin(-x+pi/2+2n pi)
now is the right most term equal to cos(x)?
can you try and figure it out?
ok
(use some trig identities)
like sin(x)=cos(x-pi/2)
sin(x)=sin(x+2 n pi) for all integer n
sin(x)=-sin(-x)
etc
when n=0 it is
that is correct, how about when n is not zero but some random integer?
this identity may help
am i meant to figure out what x is? when i did sin(-x+pi/2+2npi)=sin(x+2npi) i onyl could get the value of x
no, because it is said in the question that "the reflected function is cos(x)"
so this is equivalent to the claim "g(x)=cos(x) for all x"
basically we want to see if indeed sin(-x+pi/2+2npi)=cos(x) for all x
did you mean sin(-x+pi/2+2npi)=cos(x-2n pi)?
yea im doing that rn
sure
if you think all of the k=pi/2 + 2n pi are valid then prove it is all valid
it is
👍 can you show the steps?
olk sorry i did do it
but then when i tried to rewrite it to make it look neat i got confused again and now im redoing the question
ok i finished ill upload a pic
correct!
so we deduced that if k works, then k must be pi/4 + n pi
and all of pi/4+n pi works
and we are done, these are precisely the solutions
🔥
so the key steps are:
figuring out what the reflected funciton is
figuring out what the possible k's are
verfying our values
I made it slightly neater
great work
yes thank you i love you qwerty
TY
i got the qeustion now
i think i can close it now ur patience is godly

question about quadratic functions (?): Can't find the point F.
Problem is, I tried using the quadratic function. first, I did using 3 points I have. then I figured its just flipped, and used the point A as point (h;k). doing so, I came to an answer of point F, f(x) being higher or lower than what I expected, doesn't match visually.
Thanks in advance.

i do not get what I'm doing wrong?
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
u should probably round after adding
@feral dragon Has your question been resolved?
@honest scroll so how many decimal places do I go then for the square roots?
i think add them first in ur calculator
like 5sqrt1 + 5sqrt2 + 5sqrt3 +5sqrt4
then round that answer to 4 decimal places
if u need to show that in between step
ig 5 or 6 decimal places would prevent an error up to 4 decimal places
your right
