what is the total weight of red bricks
was confused on how to get total weight from only the mean and amount of objects
mean = 5 = sum / number = sum/4
how do u find the mean weight
add up all the weights then divide by the number of bricks
mean = add numbers and divide by numb of bricks
yes
oh ok
yh now found the mean of all 10 bricks
Isn't Donna wrong here by saying "the mean weight of the 10 bricks is less than 7 kg"?
yes i believe so
Similar triangles have the same ratio of sides
Oh, I misread this. My bad 😉
i dont understand
Take triangle ABC. The ratio of sides is clearly 9 : 15.
Now, imagine I scale it up by a factor of 2. Then the 9 cm side becomes 2 x 9 cm which is 18 cm, and the 15 cm side becomes 2 x 15 cm which is 30 cm.
Now, the ratio of this doubled triangle is 18 : 30, which we can reduce to (2 x 9) : (2 x 15) which is 9 : 15.
why would you double it?
because I chose to in that example
as in the scale it up part
so could u scale it up by 5?
or like any number
I could
Any number
If I chose a scale factor of 5, then the ratio would be (5 x 9) : (5 x 15) which is still 9 : 15
ok i understand that
You need to;
0. know similar triangles have the same ratio of side lengths.
- work out by how much the second triangle has been scaled up or down by
- use that scale factor to calculate the length of the other side.
ok ye
yep

why does the question say angle ABC = angle PQR
shouldn't it say shape or triangle
i kinda thought i'd have to do trig
ABC means "the triangle with corners A, B, and C"
∠ABC would mean "the angle between lines AB and BC"
Oh, I see what you're reffering to. I didn't properly it.
It's because we know they're both right angle triangles, so by telling us they share another common angle, they're telling us the two triaangles are similar
tbh, they could have left that part out.
ohok
I guess just extra information?
useless info lol
this one is connected to other question
does congruent mean same?
or like similar
So, congruent means they are the exact same triangle, just drawn rotated.
they're the exact same triangle. you only need to draw it once.
that's what "congruent" means
you forgot point F
have i labelled the triangle wrong?
Yyou've correctly identified GK = GE = 6 because the two triangles are congruent. Can you do the same with GH?
What other side is the same length as GH?
FG
yep
so EF = 2cm?
yep
- knowing it's not obtuse, what's the gratest angle
AOBcan be? - use that to sum the smaller angles equal to it and solve for x
is 90 obtuse?
90 is right angle
yep, so is it obtuse?
well, as you said, it's a right angle
angles are either
- less than 90 (acute)
- exactly 90 (right)
- more than 90 (obtuse)
now sovle for x

ohhh
the greatest value of x
i was a bit confused on why it had to be 90
last one
before i get off

how do I know which quadrant the angle is in if it’s in radians without converting the radians into degrees?
like for tan(17π/6), it’s -√3/3 since it’s in quadrant two but like how do u know that it’s in quadrant 2?
Do you know the boundaries of quadrants in degrees?
Convert those boundaries to radians
what do u mean by boundaries?
what angles are in the first quadrant?
30, 45,60
well these are some specific examples
but it's any angle between 0 and 90 degrees, those would be the boundaries CST is referring to
What I usually do is convert the fraction into a decimal.
E.g. 17π/6, I do 17÷6 = 2.8333 (I don't include the π)
If the decimal is in between 0 and 0.5, it's in Q1.
If it's in between 0.5 and 1, it's in Q2
If it's in between 1 and 1.5, it's in quadrant 3
If it's between 1.5 and 2, it's in quadrant 4.
In this example, it's 2.83333 (so similar to 0.83, cause it goes past 2). Therefore, it's in Q2
ohh alr
oh wait that makes so much sense
thank youu!
is there any faster way to do this? cuz im expected to solve the functions in 24 seconds without calculator
should I like memorize all the radians of the unit circle or is that not really necessary?
It might not be necessary, cause just like the example you gave earlier, it goes past 2π, so the questions could be from anywhere before or after 2π yk
I can't think of a faster way without a calculator, but someone on here might be able to come up with it?
Memorizing the special angles helps yes
Well first coterminal stuff, convert your angle to something between 0 and 2pi by adding or subtracting multiples of 2pi
Like 30 45 60 angles?
Yes, I’d add 0 and 90 as well
is that to find the reference angle?
or coterminal
So coterminal angles, all the trig functions share the same value
Use this trick to determine the quadrant
Then get the reference angle, which is easy for radians because it’s a matter of looking at the denominator of the simplified fraction
For reference angle, all the magnitudes of the trig functions are equal, but the signs change depending on quadrants
ohh so like if the fraction can’t be simplified further like 13pi/6, the reference angle would be pi/6?
Well except 13pi/6 has a coterminal of pi/6
But basically yeah
For example, 11pi/6
Or 4pi/6 simplifies to 2pi/3, so we use pi/3 as our ref angle

Are you trying to find the equuation of this curve?
I am giving this function: F(x)=3sin(2(x-C)), I have to find out what C is
Ok
Actually the function was F(x)=Asin(B(x-C)) but I found A=3 and B=2
Do you know about function transformations/translations
No
Essentially, f(x - C) will translate the function to the right by C units
Ok, so is there a way to solve for C?
Yes
For now, assume C = 0
What is F(0)
F(0)=3sin(0)
Which is...?
0?
Here, pick an x value such that F(x) = 0
What is it other than 0?
Well, you can see that F(0) = -3 based on the graph
So we need to find a different C value other than C = 0
-pi/4?
Ok, so youre choosing x = -pi/4
That means we need to move the function left by pi/4 units, or right by -pi/4 units
So what does that tell you about C?
_ _
C=pi/4?
Technically that works, but to conform with the x-coordinate you chose, you should use C = -pi/4
But that gives me the invert of the graph
I think I understand now, thank you for your help

okayy soo im back haha... with my fellow friend @coarse chasm
im pretty sure the answer for the first one is like x = -15 and x=0
but im not rlly paticularly sure
and the rest is more quadratics 💀
but one by one we shall go!!
correct
yes
ok okkk thank yeww :3
what sthe diffrence between option 1 and 3
i genuinly dont know
its the same thing i think maybe a error?
idk..
i do have one more tho 💔 this one.. now im terrible w word prolems #englishnotmyfirstlangauge
use the hint
Ohhhh so like x^2 -15x= 0 then
so then x would be 15?

Find F(x), if n=20
I found the first one to be F(x)=20x-x²/2+C
Is this correct? There are no more steps I can do?
Translate please?
ah i see
This is correct yes
Alright this is really important that I get all of them right so I'll just type here what I got for them)
sure
Why is this incorrect?
second term
After the plus it's 7x^35/35
just re do it
35:7
okay well you missed the 7 in your message, and 7/35 =?????
Or is the last = incorrect?
last equals is incorrect
^^^^^^^
3 is also wrong
That's for 4 I skipped 3 somehow
close
yes
-10
One sec
also instead of writing 10x^-2 you can write 10/x^2, idk if it matters for ur teacher
I'll do that too I think, idk either I'll just provide both
can you send a zoomed in picture of the questions?
yea thats correct
why is the exponent -20/2?
but why is it negative?
Good question wtf am I smoking 😂
Shouldn't be negative
11
Why did I write 9
Holy fuck
I got this again idk
show ur work
thx haha
Yep alr
I'm lost
-20x^-1 should be correct
But then -20/-2 that's 10
So just +10x^-2?
what you wrote is correct
Alr
And if I were to put it into fractions I would write -20•1/x + 10•2/x
20/x
Or
Yea
Uh no?
oh wait
yea
+10 2/x
2/x?
x^-2
yes
just write it the first way
Ok
So just this
that is considered "more" simplified 99% of the time where it is a polynomial
youre doing actually really well
simplify?
S(sec^2x) = tanx
Moving to another class rn soz give me a bit)
you study integral in high school?
I did...?
what is stg?
we don't study integral but differential in China
1/cos^2
This is incorrect?
is that how youre supposed to write it? it is usually written as sec^2
well yes you didint even integrate it
^^
sec?
These are the formulas I have
1/cos^2x
ah okay
write it like that then
just a difference of notation i guess, never seen it before
in that case you are still incorerct
sorry i remember that tanx's differential
Great 😂
How come
It's Ukrainian
chain rule
8 should stay no?
show me your whole sheet i will show you the rule
because i dont know what it is in ukranian but in english it is called chain rule
The formulas?
yes
f(g(x))'=f'(g(x))*g'(x)
Ait
is that the chain rule?
@kind token is this everything you know?
Ill send the full math formulas one second
Should be somewhere here maybe
This is the file
okay wait gimme a second
Nw take Ur time
you cant do chain rule on derivatives im stupid lol
do you know what u substitution is? @kind token ?
I believe so
youre supposed to use that
I did though no..
I mean we have the formula of 1/cos^2x=tgx+C you see it right
I was told to multiply the invert whenever there's a number beside x, I got really confused as to when we do it and when we don't so I made up my own philosophy of doing it only when dealing with cos sin tg
Hm okay
Sounds like a bunch of bs but it's been working XD
My teacher just couldn't explain it to me
it follows from u substitution but idk if you know about what that is
sure well you can always ask for help her
here
I don't think we covered it yet
interesting then
lol this is a pretty bad rule to follow
Okay well when you have the time you should ask here
Aito
2/5 tg20x+C
9
-15/2 sin x/20
I have to apply to the power of 9?
Or can I just smack that shit into the integration and ()^10
i really think you should have learned u subsitution
there isint much of an easy shortcut for this one
i mean kinda
I agree, I don't think we're taught enough math
Coming from a Math based course into a regular one we are not taught enough
when is this due?
i think you should wait till you go home and studdy u subsitution
Wdym
go home, learn u substitution, then do the problems
I think after I do them? I also need to ask about when to multiply by an inverted number and when to not
That is precisly what u subsition will tell you
My priority rn is the tasks because they'll raise my grade from 90 to 95
yea except theres no easy way to do the problems you posted, you kinda have to learn how to do it
and if you dont have to learn it this week then next week or the week after you will have to
Hmm
its a pretty simple, but valuable concept
Is it complicated? u substitution
and you really dont seem to be struggling
no, it should be part of your course...
i can explain it now if you want
If you could then yea I want to finish this rn
Yep
Do you know what the chain rule for derivatives is?
Let me look it up and I'll tell you
df(g(x))/dx = f'(g(x))g'(x)
Yea looks like what we're going to cover tomorrow
Thats crazy
anyways
u-subsitution is used when you kinda what to do the reverse of that
so for example if you take Scos(3x+5)dx you might think the answer is sin(3x+5) + C
but it is not because we didint take into account the 3x+5 in the cos function
yes... but we will get to why 1/3 in a sec
Ait
so when you have a function in a function, to put it simply, you can basically take the inner function and replace it with u
so for cos(3x+5) you would take u=3x+5
then you get cos(u), which is easy to solve
but
Now we have Scos(u)dx, where u=3x+5
but notice how we have dx still there we cant integrate over u
Yep
so what you can do is basically write this
u=3x+5
d(u)/dx = d(3x+5)/dx
du/dx = 3
We're dividing?
dx = du/3
do you know what dy/dx means?
Differentiate
yes
so were not diving we are differentianing both sides in respect to x
f'(x) = df(x)/dx
understand this?
its okay to say no
no im just saying that writing df(x)/dx is the same thing as writing f'(x)
like they mean the exact same thing
Yea idk I'm a bit lost
yes and if you write (d/dx) * f(x) that is the same thing as f'(x)
it is simply different notation
so if i say (d/dx)(x^2) that is equal to 2x
Yep
okay so lets go back
Got that
we have Scos(3x+5)dx
Yep
we replace the inner function with u such that u=3x+5
so we get Scos(u)dx
but we still have dx there so you cant just solve it
Oh wow
u=3x+5
on both sides we will differentiate with respect to x
(d/dx)u = (d/dx)(3x+5)
following?
With respect to x, unfamiliar with what that rly means
that just means differentiate the variable x
Alr
if you had f(y)=y^2 f'(y) means differentiate with respect to y
I get this yes
Yep
du=3dx
Or wait is it 3?
dx=(1/3)*du
Wait
This seems important
So what you did here was move around u and x and it becomes 1/3
Yea I'm horrible when it comes to that sort of thing
i moved around du and dx to solve for dx so we can replace it in our original equation
we can do another example
That's really smart
question 8
8/
we will take our inner function, 20x and replace it with u
so u = 20x
so now we have S(8/cos2(u))dx
8S(1/cos2(u))dx
you understand why i moved the 8 outside right?
Well I don't think it changes anything, you can do it but idk why you would
Does it mess with something later on?
no no, its just "better" to move numbers outside when you can
Fair enough
Yea
now we need to find what dx is
so u = 20x
du/dx = d/dx * 20x
du/dx = 20
dx = 1/20 * du
This
and thats why you multiply by 1/20
du/dx is like u'?
Oh alr
Do you still understand?
From here it's really difficult for me to get if to multiply or divide or whatever else
Like ik we need dx
dx=20/du is my initial thoughts but it's actually multiply
its just algebra
Yep alr
And dx=1/20du yea
That's rly smart
Give me a second I'm gonna write all that down
yea so this multiply by 1/20 rule is based off of something, if you can tell already, we are diving by the derivative of the inner function, in this case if you have 20x the derivative is 20
try 10 now
yea first write it out in S dx form
20x?
only 20x?
in most cases yes
but you can think of it as a function (20x-4) inside a another function (inside function)^9
for the example befoer the inside function was 20x
and the outside function was 1/cos2(x)
you good?
woaw
no
yea
dx would be du/20?
yes
du is 20x^2-4x?
you found dx, just replace it in your equation
yes but wait
the du/20 is just 1/20 * du
and you can take 1/20 out of the integral
YES
why did you replace u before integrating?
yes u10/10
Ok thank god
5 * u10/10
that is correct
nah you can leave it
Thank god
Alr I also want to try it with my old method
So I can write both for my teacher
Sure
your old method just involves multiplying by 1/20 which is exactly what you did
Oh damn I don't think I can do it with my old method
Cause it's not like cos sin tg
But it is in brackets
Wtf
Yea idk how to approach it
last one you got this
u is brackets
ye
wdym
Instead of u you can write any letter
I'm used to seeing dx within the integration symbol
Eh just forget it
du/dx=2
dx=du/2?
ye
du/2=1/2•du
yes
sure
It's taking longer than I thought it would)

compare it to 1/e^x
problem is I don't understand the idea of comparing
you are trying to find a greater converging integral
by leaving x out of the denominator you make the denominator less, and hence the overall expression greater
and how does this help with me knowing if it will diverge or converge

Trying to find the arc length here
the issue is the integral is rather messy to set up, is there any short cut?
Like the acr length is given by
$
$\int_{-\ln(4)}^{0} \sqrt{ (e^tcos(t)-e^t(\sin(t))^2+(e^t\sin(t) +e^t\cos(t))^2 + e^{2t}} dt$
i have a feeling it will get nicer once you expand everything out
in particular take out a sqrt(e^(2t)) = e^t first
not sure how the last term escaped from the square root there
wow
What a wonderful world it is !
hmm
apologies
I think taking out an e^{2t} should work
it's hard multihelping is my excuse
$\int_{-\ln(4)}^{0} e^{t} \sqrt{3}$?
What a wonderful world it is !
yep!
What a wonderful world it is !
this is (e^(ln 4))^(-1)
What a wonderful world it is !
adding?
it's okay I'm sleepy too
$\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4}$
What a wonderful world it is !
Is this fine ?

Ppl help me with this
have you tried anything
I am not sure how to do with percentage
Start with considering the length x, and form eqns
do you get what it means to increase by 10%
Can u explain in detail
say the length is 100
No thats the thing
what will be the new length if i increase it by 10%
110
yes, howd u get it
no what i mean is
how did u go from 100 to 110
use the same logic
this time, with just a variable l
What
Yes
do the same for breadth
b- (20% of b)
and write what theyve given you in the form of a mathematical eqn
you know that 10% of l just means 10/100 * l right?
Yes
so write that
Oh
and then they have said that the perimeter remains the same
Can u writw how equ comes
Indid not understand
Okay lets see
Ok
percent or 'per cent'
its like saying if i divided the thing into 'cent' i.e. 100 parts
Hmm
how many parts will this occupy
so like
10 per cent of 50
is 10 / 100 * 50
so if i have l
10 per cent of l
just means
10/100 * l
that is literally what i told you to do on your own
Yes
so what is it
l+l/10
yes and what is 1/10
This is the thing i am not understanding
Thwn next
or you can look at it like l(1+1/10)
what is 1/10
do you get this
No
ok then what about this
do you get this
what is x+2x for example
2x+x
Just tell me how 1.1 came
i literally did
See
l + 0.1l = ?
That 1.1 is an error it's supposed to be 0.1
No its 1.1
.
on how to collect like terms
Yes i ll check them thxx
one time something plus 2 times that thing is 3 times that thing
one time soething plus 0.1 times that thing is 1.1 times that thing

If we can remove both nullspaces from this diagram (i.e. from the domain and codomain) to get a bijective mapping from the row space to the column space, does that mean that we can get an rxr invertible matrix by removing certain rows and columns of an mxn matrix A?
and is this the largest possible invertible matrix we could get?
yes
that's pretty cool
i think the rows won't just be the pivots
the columns will be
you'll either have to backtrack or you could just do column reduction after you kill the columns you don't need
so should be unique
wait no that sounds sus
i don't think it's unique because you might have different choices of columns that span the image
yeah
you can have different sets of r columns that span the whole column space right
yes
and also different sets of r rows that span the row space
yes
a related cool result is that you can always choose bases of the domain and codomain so that the matrix is an rxr identity matrix in the corner and 0s elsewhere
yeah I think that was a question/fact mentioned in the book
so rank is the only invariant of a matrix under base change
the only invariant?
yes
