yeah
yes hah
$\frac{y^2-4y+4}{4y}$?
wakamole
no
ugh
why isn't it y^2 - 4y + 4?
Hey bacc, why are you making it into a single term?
Like just break it into all the terms and then integrate
,w expand (y-1)^2
just for the ((y-1)/(ysqrt(y))^2
bacc the sigma😔🤞
wait split the fraction?
is it $\int_1^9\frac{3y + 1}{2} dy$ ?
wakamole
🙏🏻
bacc the sigma😔🤞
Now split
oh i kept the power ^ 2
And a sudden 3
sorry i dont understand
$(y+1)y^{-1/2} = \frac{y^{1/2} + y^{-1/2}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$
?
wakamole
i had expanded it then also lef the denominator as 4y so weird simplyfication
still struggling...
but idk how to get the actual integral of that
it;s 1/3sqrt(y)(y+3) but how to get that idk
bacc the sigma😔🤞
oh
split
bacc the sigma😔🤞
wolfram said the integral was $\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{y}(y-3)$
wakamole
ok
oh
bacc the sigma😔🤞
Do the rest
Enough handholding
It's been what an hour?
i got $2y^{\frac{3}{2}}+{2y^{\frac{1}{2}}$ howw is that the same thing as $\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{y}(y+3)$
?
Since you wanted ro sleep

Oh dear
And divide by 2/3 too
wakamole
i did that part correctly
i sitll need to multiply it by 1/
1/2
so it will be over 6 instead
,w integrate 1/2 * ( y^(1/2)+y^(-1/2) )
bacc the sigma😔🤞
applying power rule
,, \frac{1}{2} \left [ \frac{y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} + \frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right ]_1^9
bacc the sigma😔🤞
mhm
Your 2s cancel
bacc the sigma😔🤞
factorize sqrt(y)/3
bacc the sigma😔🤞
now sqrt(y) too
bacc the sigma😔🤞
lies
can you just explain what you did with the exponent here and how it leads to the next step
damn what
i finished it but i would not have been able to do all that
you need to review immediately calc 1
and algebra
anyway
so
2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
i wrote it like that
i know that
yea
bacc the sigma😔🤞
yes
that's cool
FTC
bacc the sigma😔🤞
i got 32/3
,w 12-4/3

im confused with my answer, I was taught that the antiderivative of 1/x would ln |x| so the same thing should apply here, right? I wrote 2ln(|X|) but the answer key just shows 2ln(x)
i just want some calcification
i know that my -2/5x^5 is wrong but the |x| would be right, right?
your answer's right
wait
,w int 3x^4 + 2/x - 2/x^6 + 3sqrt(x)
which -?
-2/5x^5 is wrong
Technically it should use ||. However, most sources are lazy and use (). It often doesn't matter
riemann
i know what that one is, i messed up the signs then
just wondreded about the ||
cus the teacher said that they were imporatnt
but the answer key did not have it

yo
use tests
Remember that you're meant to try and use either limit or direct comparison for these, and if you can't use either, that's when you put n/a (so if you don't fit the conditions)
bro can u do one of them
How about stating or showing what each of those says?
it should give me atleast one point
at bottom it says 0 percent
it should say at least 5percent if i got one right
and i refuse to believe i missed every single one
it does say that you need all answers right to get credit though?
ah hell nah boy she said get em all right
i didnt even read it
i just do problems
you put na when the an>bn right
instead of doing the limits of an/bn i ignore that
Well, worth stating what you mean by an and bn (i.e. the statements of both the direct comparison and limit comparison tests)
You especially may want to check the first two answers...
(1) is wrong, as is (2)
Remember, if you cannot apply either comparison tests, it's an n/a, even if you know convergence by some other method
i dont use AST then?
Nope, you're not allowed to use it
- NA then let me check 2
for 2 i got 2 by taking the limits
and converges right
thats what i put the first time
Got 2 for what, and what limits?
i did comparison with 1/n^2
then i did an/bn for lim to infinity
and limit equaled 2
but do i not use that?
is that using a different way like AST
is everything else good
i believe 1.s the only one i used
AST on
i used p series for rest
Yep, happy with the rest 
holy fuck ur the goat
i kept on changing my answers
cuz i thought it was like others
i didnt know i had to get all right
i didnt read the problem i just answered the questions
@whole coral when i do an/bn to find the limit can i set the bn to anything or does it have to be the one that i compared to
Well, you can choose your bn to be anything "legal" such that you get a finite limit, if you can find it, such that it gives you a series whose convergence you know

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

ok lets break it down so its easier to start
at least i find that helpful whenever im not sure what to do
First, Parametrize the line L.
to find B, we have some conditions to follow
a) the vector joining A and B must be parallel to the plane to not intersect
b) We also know B is on the line L
Now lets try to find a parametric vector expression for the plane $\Pi$
Dootud
do you know how the plane can be written in parametric vector
We dont have the equation of the plane
Is the the points enough for finding the plane pi
it generally is as long as we can check the points are not collinear
Identify the direction vector, Identify a point on the line and then write the parametric equation.
so if u want to convince yourself or draw a diagram, we know that a plane can be formed from the following
- a base point (random point on plane)
- and 2 linearly independent direction vectors
direction of
line L is (0,1,-1)
the diagram here is convenience, if u look at the red arrows, they represent 2 different direction vectors in which the plane spans
having 2 linearly independent direction vectors is sufficient to form a plane if we also have a basis point that is on the plane
ok so lets try with the 3 points we have here
lets first check that they aren't collinear
Exactly. Now, Identify a point on the line.
(-1,1,0)
how
there already is given a parametric form of the line L:x given
and here, λ = to ?
so if 3 points are colinear
then the vectors formed by joining 2 of the points must be a scalar of the other 2 points
since they have the same direction
@urban copper No, not 1.
so if we can show $(2,1,1) - (1,3,1) \neq k[(2,1,1) - (2,3,0)], k \in \mathbb{R}$
Dootud
then we prove that these 3 points are not clinear
ok so now that we know these 3 points are not cllinear, it gives us some information
- we know that all 3 points are on the plane
- they do not lie on the same line,
and also i would encourage u to draw it out in a diagram just to visualise it
we can generate 2 different vectors
namely direction vectors for the plane
for example, if we pick (2,1,1) as a point of reference
the point (1,3,1) and (2,3,) from the point (2,1,1) are going towards 2 non parallel directions
then we know that actually, the vectors formed from $(1,3,1)-(2,1,1)$ and $(2,3,0) - (2,1,1)$ become the direction vectors of your plane spanning out from (2,1,1)
Dootud
so we now have 2 direction vectors for our plane, namely $(-1,2,0)$ and $(0,2,-1)$ spanning out from the point (2,1,1)
Dootud
if it makes it easier to understand, a plane is essentially formed from 2 lines that intersect at a point
which is why u have 2 direction vectors
we can then write this in parametric form as $(2,1,1) + \alpha (-1,2,0) + \beta (0,2,-1)$
Dootud
where alpha and beta are arbtirary real numbers that enables us to span an entire plane
i don't rlly get it
I think it might be better to watch a video to understand because I lack the knowledge to generate a visual animation or diagram to show you how it works on discord
I think it’s quite a visually heavy topic
just give me a minute
@urban copper Has your question been resolved?
@urban copper Has your question been resolved?
May I show one way to approach this?
yes
This isn't the "correct" correct way as I'm still learning this myself but it still works to find the answer.
Do you know how to find the plane of three non-collinear points?
using the parametric equation for the plane
What you're actually interested in is finding the Normal vector to the plane.
You want to find that vector.
Yes/no?
why the normal vector
Because you will use that to make an equation for the plane that goes through the points.
geogebra?
scalar equation of the plane
Yes.
The partial derivatives are the components of the Normal vector to the plane.
So if you know the Normal vector and a point on the plane, you can make an equation for the plane.
cursed notation
Still learning. Partial fraction better?
how do i find the normal vefctor
f in this case will be a three-variable function in standard form that is equal to some arbitrary constant.
perfect
For your purpose, f(x,y,z) can equal any constant. It doesn't matter because the Normal will be the same regardless of what f(x,y,z) equals.
N = <a, b, c>
Does that make sense?
Yes.
okay sweet
Let $A = (2, -2, 1)$, $L: \mathbf{X} = \lambda (0, 1, -1) + (-1, 1, 0)$, and $\Pi$ be the plane that passes through the points $(2, 1, 1)$, $(1, 3, 1)$, and $(2, 3, 0)$.
Find $B \in L$ such that the line passing through $A$ and $B$ does not intersect the plane $\Pi$.
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
(2,1,1), (1,3,1), and (2,3,0).
Probably a poor choice of names since A is already given and you are looking for B.
A' = (2,1,1)
B' = (1,3,1)
C' = (2,3,0)
That works.
B' - A' = A'B' = (1,3,1) - (2,1,1) = (1-2, 3 - 1, 1- 1) = (-1,2,0)
C' - B' = B'C' = (2,3,0) - (1,3,1) = (2-1, 3-3, 0-1) = (1,0,-1)
,w (-1,2,0) x (1,0,-1)
thats a vector that is perpendicular to A'B' and perpendicular to B'C'
Good. Now you can use the aforementioned plane formula.
-2(x-x1) -1(y-y1) -2(z-z1) = 0
Good. Now, because you are looking for a point B that forms a vector with point A that is parallel to the plane that goes through A', B', and C'; any vector on the plane that goes through point A with the same Normal vector will also be parallel.
The light shade of blue has the same Normal vector but it goes through point A.
And both planes will be parallel.
Make sense?
yes
Now you want to find a point B that intersects that second plane that goes through point A.
There are two sets of coordinates in that equation; (x,y,z) and (x_1, y_1, z_1).
You know one set of coordinates, that is given by point A.
What would the other set of points, point B, be? (x_1, y_1, z_1)?
is that given?
oh you mean (2,1,1), (1,3,1), and (2,3,0).
those points are contained in the plane
A is given by the problem; A = (2, -2, 1).
B is given by the parametric equation L.
B=(-1,1,0)
We don't know what B is yet, you have to determine that.
B will be some point on the grey line in the image above.
the normal vector is perpendicular to all the vectors contained in the plane
i am not sure but how do we find B then?
The first line is given by L in the problem. You can convert that to a parametric equation.
okay perfect
That will be your second second points for the plane equation.
Plug in both points and you can solve for t.
A and B.
Once you find that, I will show you the correct way to find B. It's quicker but I wanted to show you a way to verify your answer.
And plug in each of those points.
x=2, y=-2, z=-1, x_1 = -1, y_1 = 1+t, z_1 = -t
Plug that into the parametric point B and you will get your answer. Now I will show you the correct way to solve this problem.
It is quicker.
You can make a vector BA using B - A.
-2(x-(-1))-1(y-1-t)-2(z+t)=0
ok
Here you will use a property of the Dot Product. Two orthogonal vectors will have a dot product that equals zero.
You know the parametric form of B, all you need to do is subtract point A from B to make a vector for AB.
yes
Set the dot product of AB · N equal to zero and you can solve for t that way as well.
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
how do I grt the normal of the plane
using the three points?
true
So the Normal vector from point A will be the same as the Normal vector from the plane that goes through the three given points.
Those two Normal vectors are equal even though they start at different points.
yeah let this three points be named C D E
All you are concerned about now though are these two vectors.
The dot product of those two vectors will equal zero.
BA · N = 0
You want B - A.
B-A=(-1-2,1+t+2,-t-1)
Good so far, now simplify that.
(-3,3+t,-t-1).N=0
And what does N equal?
is the
You found it earlier.
B-A x D-C
You used it to make the equation of the plane earlier.
No. Two parallel planes will have the same Normal vector.
ehat is the normal vector of the other plane
N = <-2, -1, -2>
,w (-3,3+t,-t-1).(-2,-1,-2)=0
You get the same value for t as before.
It's always a good idea to solve difficult homework problems from scratch again. This time write out your thought process as you do so.
Start with some basic principles of what you should understand is true.
- Two parallel planes have the same Normal vector.
- The dot product of perpendicular vectors is equal to zero.
These two planes are parallel and therefore have the same Normal vector.

can someone confirm this is correct
you can probably do the math in your head (assume the fractions are right lol) but i just wanna know if im doing the Q right
the process is fine but arithmetic errors make the fractions wrong
,calc 3-6*(-11)
Result:
69
isnt it 3 - (6*-11) ? so -63
Result:
69
why would that be the case?
oh wait im wrong again
so 1,3 should be 69 and from there on i just need to do it correctly again
make 25/3, 26/3
it's correct other than that
the result is correct
yeah but i got there wrong so i gotta redo it
eugh i already see a mistake
time to redo again
nah im gunna end it

Question regarding vector analysis:
How to properly differentiate the function exp(|s|²) where s is a vector r - a (both in x,y,z) and |r|² is the dot product
Should I first open the dot product to get r² + a² + r a cos(theta)?
and how to proceed while differentiating this exp(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) )
Yes expand the dot product
@wet echo Has your question been resolved?
okay, but then I would have ∇exp(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) = (r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) * exp(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) * ∇(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) right?
Them how to proceed with ∇(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) ? (btw, the ∇ acts on r. I forgot to mention it)
Can I just treat it the same as one variable calculus and do:
∇(r² + a² + r a cos(theta) ) = 2r + 0 + a cos(theta) ??
I ask it because r² is r · r and I think there may be some special properties in diferentiating this
I mean, is ∇(r·r) = 2r?
Depends what your coordinates are
Is r spherical or cylindrical
https://profoundphysics.com/gradient-in-different-coordinates/
This has the formula for gradient for both
Sorry.
It is spherical coordinates

Someone give me the answer, straight up. The question is asking [What is the smallest solution of x strictly bigger than pi] please give me the process on how you found the answer
say $\cos y = \frac 12$. what do we know about $y$?
jan Niku
? Don’t know
??
jan Niku
where is cos(theta) = 1/2
5pi/3
jan Niku
seems like the first place this could happen is at $y = \frac{5\pi}{3}$
jan Niku
is that enough info to finish out the problem?
No
They are saying it has an infinite solutions. What is the smallest x strictly greater than pi
well, you found this
In the answer machine it’s wrong
Which means it’s not the correct answer
I’m not sure how to proceed
if $\cos x = \frac 12$, and $x$ is the first solution that's bigger than $\pi$, then $x = \frac{5 \pi }{3}$
jan Niku
jan Niku
jan Niku
Because, there’s another one 5pi/3
why doesnt $5x = \frac \pi 3$ work
jan Niku
I’m not sure
what would this make x
X = pi/15
so whats wrong with this solution
I'm not saying its good, I'm just asking since you're saying you're having trouble to know what to do
Don’t know
if $x = \frac{\pi}{15}$
jan Niku
then $\cos (5x) = \frac 12$
jan Niku
but this x is not the answer you want, why?
Probably because it isn’t bigger than pi
yea
so, lets look at the next one up
$5x = \frac{5\pi}{3}$
jan Niku
how about this one?
X = 5pi/15
any good?
you need to try the next biggest root
?
i mean, heres a thought
you know that x has to be bigger than pi
then $5 x > 5 \pi$, right?
jan Niku
Ye
wheres the first place we find a root that big
how many times do you have to go around the circle
Twice?
more than that, but yea, at least twice
2pi is once
4pi is twice
5 pi is like
twice and a half
so lets say we went around twice, and another half
were now sitting at 5pi, at this red dot
wheres the next solution?
it will definitely make 5x bigger than 5pi
and it should be the first time this happens, too
@cold haven Has your question been resolved?
@cold haven Has your question been resolved?

"Find a point in the first quarter where tangent line to "2(x^2 + y^2)^2 = 25(x^2-y^2) is horizontal"
please help \o/ ive been seriously lost with this one
have you tried implicitly differentiating both sides
then solving dy/dx = 0
Well, if a line is horizontal, what does that mean about the derivative?
when I say dy/dx = 0, I get another equation
and thats where I get lost
from plugging equations in desmos, apparently I need to make my derivative equal to my original equation to get the point I want
but I dont understand why
did you get $x\left(-4x^{2}-4y^{2}+25\right)=0$?
higher's secret twin brother
exactly
need help

!help
To ask for mathematics help on this server, please open your own help channel or help thread. See #❓how-to-get-help for instructions.
okay, you have to note that x can't be 0
subbing into the original equation, if x = 0, y = 0
but then you get dy/dx = 0/0
I see
that implies $-4x^2 - 4y^2 + 25 = 0 \implies x^2 + y^2 = 25/4$
higher's secret twin brother
sub in to get $2(25/4)^2 = 25(x^2 - y^2)$
higher's secret twin brother
you get x^2 + y^2 = 25/4 and x^2 - y^2 = something
you can eliminate to find both x^2 and y^2
so I need to make the derivative equal 0, and then use that new equation to find my point
well yes
my confusion comes from, shouldnt the derivative only give me points that exist in my equation?
so I shouldnt have to search for them, I dont know if that makes sense
that's not true actually
it just gives you some other relation g(x, y) = 0
where all the points on your original relation f(x, y) = 0 and on g(x, y) = 0 satisfy dy/dx = 0
so I have dy/dx = f(x,y)
if i set dy/dx equal to any value, I get a new equation of all the points in my original equation where thats the derivative?
yes
but the points where the derivative is 0 is a subset of the points on your dy/dx = f(x, y)
doesn't mean that all the points on your f(x, y) will lie on the original curve
hmm that makes a lot of sense
I thought I was doing something wrong
what if in f(x,y) = dy/dx, I set my x or y to a specific value
would I get all my possible derivatives when x or y equal that on my original function?
no, say if x = a, you'd get dy/dx only for points on x = a
only for points on the curve that lie on that vertical line

Can you see where I went wrong?
@sonic moss Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
uh
howdy
yeah that part was a little jank
only works when a,b,c,d are real numbers
oh... 😦
I mean there is only.... 1 non-real...... yeah good point
ah got it thanks!
a beautiful 1
very good helpering!

so here I have to take 2 vectors at a time and prove their product is 0?
yea
Ah, that's boring. Any novel way of doing it?
you'll survive computing 3 dot products
haha
not rlly
can't you row reduce it and find that it's full rank
like that'll probably be slower
You wish. I've lost 2.5 marks on a quiz because i got one entry in a matix product wrong
you could have fun computing A^TA (where A has your vectors in rows or cols doesn't matter here) and check that it's diagonal, but it's essentially the same thing and oops you have a matrix there
how would that tell you orthogonality tho ?

Let ABC be a triangle where AB =AC, BAC = 80 degrees, if D is a point inside the circle such that DAB = DBA = 10 degrees, then find ADC
Angle ABC and ACB are equal
I am not sure if you'll find answer or not
but you could make the use of law of sines
I think assuming the angle you want is a better idea
rather revolving around some other angle
by this I mean 60+w = x thing
angle ACD, ADC, ADB and ABD are some angles that might be useful
you'll be able to make an equation in x but I don't think it is solvable easily
well that sucks
i think this is a good idea
but this is the problem
ah
I think you might be able to solve it
what😭
have you gotten something with law of sines for these?
at least try dude
ofcourse it does
im horrible at geometry man😭😭
I don't think there is much geometry left after I told you the angles of interest
(geometry sucks anyway)
i agree
dang i just watched a vid with a guy who loves geometry
and he said everyone else hates it
uhhh i got sin(110 - ADC)/sinADC = sin(110)/sin(10)
what
I think sin(160)/AB would be enough
how did you got right hand side
how you'll deal with AB?
sin(10)/AD = sin(160)/AB so AD = ABsin10/sin160
oh wait … ngl my logic is off
yeah
but that's not sin10/sin160
so it should be sin(160)/sin(10)
whatever, I recommend expanding sin(110-ADC)
alright
sin10/sin160*
after that it is just awful simplification nothing else
(like converting bigger angles to 10 and 20 degrees)
(turning cos(ADC) into sine)
and then forming an awful quadratic equation in sinADC
better sub sinADC=u
and that’s why nobody loves geometry
and im supposed to spend 2 minutes per question what
I don't think you have to do every question
some questions are meant to be un-touched

oh yeah for this question theres choices
lmfao
a) 20, b) 23, c) 26, d) 29
oh lord
you aren't provided calculator right
?
nope
are entrance exam questions always this hard😭
real

kinda clueless here
i'm supposed to use induction here
base case is fine:\
$(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) < \frac{2}{2^2} = \frac{1}{2}$
\frac{1}{2} not 2....
wut
oh sorry
artemetra
yes
checks out now
$1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2} < \frac{1}{2}$ because $\sqrt{2} > 1$
artemetra
alright go on
induction hypothesis is
$$\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\cdots\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\right) < \frac{2}{n^2}$$
artemetra
multiplying both sides by (1-1/(sqrt(n+1)))
$$\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\cdots\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right) < \frac{2}{n^2} \left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right)$$
artemetra
so my task is to show that $$\frac{2}{n^2} \left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right) < \frac{2}{(n+1)^2}$$
artemetra
wait is that necessarily true
yes!
thanks
so my task is to show that $$\frac{2}{n^2} \left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right) \leq \frac{2}{(n+1)^2}$$
artemetra
yep
correct
ookay
okay i am sorta stuck
hmm
$$\frac{2}{n^2} \left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right) = \frac{2}{n^2} \left(\frac{\sqrt{n+1}-1}{\sqrt{n+1}}\right) = \frac{2}{n^2} \left(\frac{n+1-\sqrt{n+1}}{n+1}\right)$$
artemetra
I think you can try to move the n stuff from the denominator into the enumerator
oo i have an idea
$= \frac{2}{n^2} \left(\frac{(n+1)^2-(\sqrt{n+1})(n+1)}{(n+1)^2}\right)$
artemetra
$= \frac{2}{(n+1)^2} \left(\frac{(n+1)^2-(\sqrt{n+1})(n+1)}{n^2}\right)$
artemetra
and since the goal is < 2/(n+1)^2, i need to show that the thing in the brackets is less than 1
(or equal)
artemetra
artemetra
$n^2+2n+1-(\sqrt{n+1})(n+1) \leq n^2$
artemetra
$2n+1-(\sqrt{n+1})(n+1) \leq 0$
artemetra
$2n+1\leq (\sqrt{n+1})(n+1)$
artemetra
If you can show this is true for all n >= 2 then I think so
$\iff 2n+1\leq \sqrt{n+1}n+\sqrt{n+1}$
artemetra
actually i am not quite sure here
i would say this is definitely true for all $n \geq 3$ because $\sqrt{n+1} \geq 2$ and $\sqrt{n+1} \geq 1$
artemetra
and for $n=2$ i can check separately
you only need to square both sides
artemetra
fuck
lmao
$\implies (2n+1)^2 \leq (\sqrt{n+1}n+\sqrt{n+1})^2$\
$\iff 4n^2 + 4n + 1 \leq (n+1)n^2 + 2(n+1)n + (n+1)$\
$\iff 4n^2 + 4n + 1 \leq n^3 + n^2 + 2n^2 + 2n + n+1$\
$\iff 4n^2 + 4n + 1 \leq n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n+1$\
okay
artemetra
hm
everything on one side and factor
$\iff n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n+1 \geq 4n^2 + 4n + 1$\
$\iff n^3 - n^2 - n \geq 0$\
$\iff n^2 - n - 1 \geq 0$ (because $n\neq 0$)
pretty easy
Tbh I find a combination of both nicer
artemetra
Normal reasoning for n>=3 and square for n=2
But both works in the end
hi!
i finally got to algebra lol
show
really not sure what is going on here
okay
this isn't true tho
take n=3
yeah the reciprocals always trip me up
i think i am done with mine
pretty much what was written here
but i'll rewrite it nicely now
@vagrant prism Has your question been resolved?
okay i rewrote it nicely
here
.
i saw a typo and had to fix it 😆
thank you!
i think i'll close this one
thanks rafilou and convergence
