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
What do you know about reciprocal functions
Ok
Can you model this function
Or at least understand how this might work
If $g(x)=\frac{1}{f(x)}$, then what happens to $f(x)$?

5 tons of potatoes were brought to the base, which is 20% of the base's needs. What is the need for the base (in tons)?
convert 20% to fractions first
how much % would 10 tons of potatoes me?

Hi, I am not sure how the correct answer is right - in fact I'm not sure if all the answers are right bc x should not be 4 or more due to the g(x) function having a square root. I probably don't know what a maximal domain is. I appreciate any help. Thanks
this is bizarre
exactly what I'm thinking
pretty much just domain
yeh, x cant be more than 4,
that only discounts option a)
why did you choose d specifically?
you are also given the domain of f and g
I misread the bracket as ) so I clicked on it -
and I also thought there was no way it can be infinity -
this question is a set up
but yeh, for the domain you want the intersection of the domains of f and g
i.e. intersection of (0,inf) and (-inf,4]
which is indeed option d)

Hello I’m trying to calculate the derivative of fx=ln(3x) by definition and although I got to the same result as the immediate derivative, I still got told that im not supposed to use l’h. And I don’t understand why. @real rose helped me and sent me all these formulas but im unable to apply them. Thanks.
you're not supposed to use LH as if you're allowed to differentiate like that,
you could've just differentiated at the very start
Ok, and how do I do that?
the process is actually quite length,
try looking up diffentiating ln(x) using first principles
Ok, I will. But technically (even tho I didn’t do it formally) I still got to the same result, that means I did it right. didn’t I?
technically valid, but defeats the purpose
Ok thanks, I want to do it correctly but I don’t know how to. Should I look some videos on YouTube? Any recommendations to learn
try looking up diffentiating ln(x) using first principles
Ok thx, I’ll probably be back

Anyway, i'll still give a hint.
-
This is VERY EASY to solve in 15 minutes, i haven't done this kind of math for a few years and i could still solve it under 14 minutes INCLUDING re-proving the theorems just for fun.
You were not very patient OR
your amount of knowledge is generally not good. -
The hint (if you still haven't figured it out for some reason)
is that the I is the orthocenter,
prove that the shape is a trapezoid.
I hope that you can do the rest.

Assume that the wavelengths of photosynthetically active radiations (PAR) are uniformly
distributed at integer nanometers in the red spectrum from 675 to 700 nm.
What are the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation?
How do you solve this?
do you know in general how to find the mean and variance of a probability distribution?
Yeah
ok so what's troubling you about this one in particular?
Eh I don't know how to like find this... Cause I know what to do with regular numbers
that yours?
Yes
or a friend's?
Mine
The question three is what I'm on
and the variance will take a bit of arithmetic to work out
Where like I can get the mean cause I have a formula for that
but otherwise you seem to be using the readymade formula for the variance of a uniform
Well no. I was trying to reverse engineer the variance formula
For a uniform bit like this
But I don't know how
you did it correctly, is what i'm saying...
I'm saying I don't understand it
Why is it divided by twelve?
And added one and subtracted one
right
well ok so
i think it is best if you take the uniform distribution on {1, 2, ..., n} and find its variance the hard way
you will need, in one way or another, the formula $\sum_{k=1}^n k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
Ann
Which is divided by six because?
mmm
In mathematics, a pyramid number, or square pyramidal number, is a natural number that counts the stacked spheres in a pyramid with a square base. The study of these numbers goes back to Archimedes and Fibonacci. They are part of a broader topic of figurate numbers representing the numbers of points forming regular patterns within different shap...
there are a few different derivations of this on wikipedia i think
like my go-to is rawdogging it algebraically

$3x+8w^2\3w+8w^2\6+8w^2$
UCYT5040
x and w are odd, and odd*odd=odd
x is not a multiple of 3
obviously the bottom one is yes
but i cant think of any x or w values that have a gcd
so i think its 1/3 but the correct answer is 2/3
ohhh wait i see
because of w^2
3*3+8*9
9 and 72 are divisible by 9
and this doesnt work with x
so yeah 2/3

is there any way to solve a question where the variable has a factorial in it
You will have variable! = ... ?
there is no general technique
what equation are you facing right now?
yes
oh , no
Just look the rhs and see if its a factorial of smth
it's just a general question because you can solve variables with logarithms , exponents, coefficients, so on and so forth and i was thinking if this could be applied to factorials
aaaah okay
There is no inverse to factorial afaik
yes , i can't think of one either
in that case thank u sm
variables with factorials would probably come out to something easily identifiable anyways like x! = 120

Any way to do this without long division?
Can't you sub u = a + bx if b ≠ 0?
i guess you can
but op said no long division, and i feel like this bars us from splitting the fraction (...)/u^2 into A + B/u + C/u^2

Yes I think
Okay yes that’s a lot neater than I was expecting

My textbook multiplied both the numerator and denominator by sin(3x).
How do I know it’s going to benefit me in this problem?
will it? 
have you looked at what they do afterwards?
usually a weird step like this is setup for some manipulation in a subsequent step.
I thought it was just gonna be some sort of iteration of product to sums of the trig
Yeah
$\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac12(\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b))$
mathisfun
But why? What’s the motivation?
Also if there’s a more intuitive way to do this, can you please show me
The intuition is just to do these type of questions numerous times
And unfortunately that’s the only way
It’s a bit obtuse to see
But ig the “motivation” is just to use trig identity to turn the denominator into 1 so u can evaluate the trig terms separately
Okay okay I’ll see if I see more problems like this one
Thank you so much
Appreciate it

Integration by parts
looks like IBP
6 times
A really long one
WHY
you can figure out a general $\int x^ne^x\dd x$
exercise: find a general form for int x^n e^x
Bonk
Yeah
and then easily get an answer
Recursive formulae also exist
the terms follow a very predictable pattern so after doing 2 of the ibps you should be fine

Bonk

by parts can be useful when you are integrating a product of different types of functions and sub doesn't work
I don't understand the command
because you shouldnt use it
its my command
Ah
.
How do I know that what is written is correct?
???
(it is)
why would it not be?
Isn't it better to use public sources better?
i just have it as a command so that i can easily reference it
whats your point?
you can also look in your textbook
Because it is a command that I cannot consult
and youll see that its the exact same
google it then
buty ou can just ask me?
you can also try the tabular method
you asked, whats IBP
i tell you what IBP is
and then you dont trust it
then why bother?
this whole server is not an official source
yet you still come here and ask for help
I fully concur with the sources provided, as their depth and validity render any disagreement unnecessary.
So we can proceed
Bonk
But what does it mean to integrate by parts? What really happens?
The method of integration by parts was first systematically formulated by the French mathematician Brook Taylor in the early 18th century.
This ?
do you know the product rule?
I don't know the history of integration by parts
go read a wikipedia entry if thats what you want
Bonk
if you take the integral of this, you get $[uv]=\int u\dd v+\int v\dd u$
Bonk
it provides deeper insight into the evolution of ideas and the thought processes of mathematicians.
rearranging to give $\int u\dd v=uv-\int v\dd u$
Bonk
It’s just the product rule backwards
That’s the thought process
And bonk just showed you exactly what I mean
its like learning that 1+1=2 and then researching how mathematicians thousands of years ago figured it out
Ah ok
Being conscious of the thought process is important don’t stop thinking about that
But in math we use proofs to show this process
sometimes it is useful to know why a result is reached, but this is not it
Though sometimes the proofs pull shit out of their ass and it’s hard to tell why they would approach it that way
If the proof is good it’ll explain the why as well as the how
double integrand(double x, void params) {
return xxxxxx * exp(x); // x^6 * e^x
}
Can I use this?
no?
Why
The problem is teaching you integration by parts not integration by numerical method
To solve the integral ( \int x^6 \cdot e^x , dx ), we can apply integration by parts multiple times. First, recall the integration by parts formula:
[
\int u , dv = uv - \int v , du
]
We'll choose:
- ( u = x^6 ) (since differentiating powers of ( x ) will simplify them),
- ( dv = e^x , dx ) (since the integral of ( e^x ) is straightforward).
Now, let's perform the integration by parts step-by-step.
First step:
- ( u = x^6 ), so ( du = 6x^5 , dx )
- ( dv = e^x , dx ), so ( v = e^x )
Using the integration by parts formula:
[
\int x^6 \cdot e^x , dx = x^6 \cdot e^x - \int e^x \cdot 6x^5 , dx
]
Second step:
Now, we need to integrate ( \int 6x^5 \cdot e^x , dx ). We apply integration by parts again:
- ( u = x^5 ), so ( du = 5x^4 , dx )
- ( dv = e^x , dx ), so ( v = e^x )
This gives:
[
\int 6x^5 \cdot e^x , dx = 6 \left( x^5 \cdot e^x - \int e^x \cdot 5x^4 , dx \right)
]
Third step:
Next, we repeat this process for ( \int 5x^4 \cdot e^x , dx ). This will require four more steps of applying integration by parts.
Eventually, after performing the integration by parts seven times, we end up with:
[
\int x^6 \cdot e^x , dx = x^6 \cdot e^x - 6x^5 \cdot e^x + 30x^4 \cdot e^x - 120x^3 \cdot e^x + 360x^2 \cdot e^x - 720x \cdot e^x + 720e^x + C
]
Where ( C ) is the constant of integration.
So, the final result is:
[
\int x^6 \cdot e^x , dx = e^x \left( x^6 - 6x^5 + 30x^4 - 120x^3 + 360x^2 - 720x + 720 \right) + C
]

CHILEE okay so this is my problem. i got down all the way to 1/x^2 -4/x+4-3/x+6+10 and i simplified to 1/x^2 -7/x+20 but its saying im wrong and that its +8 and not +20... how is it +8 if theyre all positive no?
muy importante
should be +20 on the end yeh
ok so my professor is wrong?
yes
PERIODDDDD
what would the domain be thpo
tho
cus its 0.25 plugged in right
hold lemme solve b4 u say
ok no
ngl idk what to do after
i have 1/x^2-7/x+20
if i plug in 1/(0.25)^2 and -7/(0.25) i get a weird numbe
im not allowwed to use calculayors
change 0.25 into 1/4 , for easier simplifcation
for f o g(x), you can also calculate g(x), then plug that value into f(x)
1/(1/4)^2 , yes
What is $\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{4}$?
OmnipotentEntity
$$\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a}{1} \div \frac{b}{c}$$
JustToPro
in case u didnt know
\begin{align*}
\frac{1}{\frac{a}{b}} &= \frac{1}{\frac{a}{b}} \cdot \frac{b}{b} \
&= \frac{b}{\frac{a}{b} \cdot b} \
&= \frac{b}{\frac{b}{b} \cdot a} \
&= \frac{b}{a}
\end{align*}
ok so
OmnipotentEntity
im literally so confused
The above holds for any a,b ≠ 0
is there an easier way
So if, for instance a = 1 and b = 16...
There is an easier way, just read the first and last lines
The in-between is just a full justification
In case you find it confusing
wait so whyd u do 16/16
Yup
negatrive
It doesn't become negative
WAITTTTTT😭
OK SO
i did
-8 over 1/16
vus i subrtacted
1 over 1/16 and 7/1/16
so i got -8 over 1/16
and then i did the reciprocal
16/1
and candcled out
and got -8
but how would that be in the domain tho

Hello
Could you help me find the 3 partial derivatives shown in the image?
The equation deals with relative density.
TA= High temperature
TB= Low temperature.
The 3 equations to find are:
- Partial derivative of density B/ Partial derivative of density A.
- Partial derivative of density B/ Partial derivative of TB.
- Partial derivative of density B/ Partial derivative of TA.

hello
For part a, since it was false, i was able to provide a counterexample
but because part b is true im guessing i need to construct a more rigoruous proof
i was thinking i could deal with in terms of cases but there were too many to deal witih
you don't need any casework here
okay
element-chasing and unfolding all definitions is going to do you just fine
uh so something like let x be the element of A intersection B
and then show that x also then must be an element of C
let x be an element of A ∩ B.
saying "the element" implies A ∩ B has only one element to begin with, which nobody said
ah yeah my bad
but yes setup and goal are correct thus far
remember you will need to use $A \subseteq B^c \cup C$ at \textbf{some} point
Ann
that is kinda where i had a problem
i have to use an arbitrary element in set A (lets say y for example) which causes me to not understand how we correlate this to x
you misunderstand
$A \subseteq B^c \cup C$ is not a goal, but an assertion. you'd only need to declare an arbitrary $y \in A$ if $A \subseteq B^c \cup C$ were a second goal.
Ann
here, however, you get from $x \in A \cap B$ that $x \in A$ and $x \in B$.
Ann
and then $x \in A$ together with $A \subseteq B^c \cup C$ implies $x \in B^c \cup C$
Ann
but what about $x \in B^c$
therealtdp
its still an or
i thought since it was an or statement, i could ignore it?
oh ig not then
well how about this
x being an element of b complement means that it must be either a element of the set C (meaning that we get our proof) or that it is part of the universal set - (B union C). If it is part of universal set - (B union C) then we know that there are no common elements between B and A meaning that their intersection is the empty set and since the empty set is a subset of everything, A union B must be a subset of C
i think this can be phrased simpler
x belongs to B, and besides this we know it belongs to B^c or to C. but it doesn't belong to B^c, therefore it must belong to C.
yeah that is way more simpler lol
appreciate your help everyone
thank you

So the covariance between random variables can be an inner product, but the covariance between 2 vector random variables is a matrix, how does one turn that into an inner product?
take trace

The difference of the squares of two consecutive natural numbers is 57. Determine the larger number
therealtdp
you can solve
i got it
29 ?
which part you dont understand?
www.
the difference of squares of two consecutive numbers

😉
close it <3
yeah but the greater natural number is asked
i though just need find for n
haha thats where the question gets you
i was once asked the sum of digits of the answer
so my answer 33 was correct but soln had to be 3 + 3 thats 6
damn
in this moments u need to be more careful
and read better what they want
but i didn’t

Yo ts got me so mad I lost my voice where do I go from here
what do you have to do lmao
Find a polynomial that satisfies the given conditions.
what conditions?
Expand it I guess
I have to turn it into factors
Do you need it fully expanded?
step 0 would be to drink some water
its a pretty weird polynomial though
and maybe use some kind of throat spray
if i is a root -i should be a root
so that your throat and vocal cords can recover somehow
my god im pretty sure hes joking
these are the only instructions I got
oh, so they DIDN'T say for it to have real coefficients?
no bitch I just said those were the only instructions
...did you need to call me a bitch
no comment
it's kinda rude to throw words like that around
yknow
anyway like ok it doesn't say that the polynomial has to have real coeffs
$z(z+i)(z-2-i)$ will do the job just fine
Ann
expand that thing and collect like terms or whatever
You missed a factor
which one ?
why would there need to be one like that?
remember there's no requirement for the coeffs to be real.
The factors are at the top I would assume
so roots don't need to come in conjugate pairs.
This isn't the correct way?
this one lacks -i as a root
it also has 2-i as a root, which wasn't required of it
The factors are 0, i, 2+i, 2-i
the roots as stated are 0, minus i, and 2+i.
no more, and no less.
2-i isn't required to be a root.
OH it says -i
actually I added the 2-i
I was reading this lmao
cause they said to do the opposite
who said to do what?
I read the original picture, Ann, that's where the confusion is
they them
who are "they"?
Before they sent the actual canvas page
brain mclogan video
Are you serious lmao
yeah
👉 Learn how to write the equation of a polynomial when given complex zeros. Recall that a polynomial is an expression of the form ax^n + bx^(n-1) + . . . + k, where a, b, and k are constants and the exponents are positive integers. The zeros of a polynomial are the values of x for which the value of the polynomial is zero. Also recall that when ...
He never mentioned that you can add your own factors
hold on lets give this a watch
Because that is not a thing
he said to do the oppsite of 4+i so I just did the opposite of 2+i
conjugate, not opposite.
there's a specific word for it.
but also,
this guy leaves it unsaid that we want the polynomial to have real coefficients.
around 0:50 he said "we know that if 4+i is a zero then its conjugate must also be"
when in reality this hinges on the "real coefficients" thing
ahhh ok
What did i do wrong here?
a lot of things, apparently. did you try to do this in your head?
damn dude no need to go hard on me no I didn't I am just not a wizard like you
Try factoring just (x-i)(x-2-i)
please don't call me "dude".
First you distribute the x to every term in (x-2-i) and then you distribute -i to (x-2-i)
mb
then you should have had x(.....)
your work... didnt make that clear on a first reading
x(x+i)(x-2-i)
= x(x^2 - 2x - ix + ix - 2i - (-1))
= x(x^2 - 2x - 2i + 1)
you made a sign error when you put -i^2 as -1 when it should have been +1
and the whole "the leftmost x vanished into thin air" thing
"a lot" turned out to be just two
my brain can't comprehend what the hell this means
this
you tried to expand just the (x+i)(x-2-i) while leaving the lone x to their left as it is, correct?
yes
yeah, what im saying is that you dropped that lone x.
and that's what confused me when i read your work.
ahh ok sorry about that
also regarding the other half of this: i've seen quite a few instances when a helpee came in with their work, made a severe screwup partway through, and then it ended up being the case that they tried to skip some steps by doing it in their head.
so i was not trying to dispense some sort of value judgment at all there.
oh ok thanks for clearing that up
thanks for helping everyone

heeeelp
i need to find a vector v with module sqrt(5) and so he makes an agnle of 60degrees with vector u(2, -4)
pls i got an exam tommorrow
that handwriting is amazing
thx
with modulus sqrt(5) or module sqrt(5) ?
|v| is sqrt5
ohh i see my fault
i multiplied
i shouldve divided
hold up
how to divide
if i divide -9.52 : u
i make
-9.52/u1 and same for the u2?
still wrong
whyyy
I think this approach might not be correct.
why
no like i have a solution but i dont understand why is it wrong
?
anyone
<@&286206848099549185>
You might need to:
- Find the unit vector of
u - Add 60 to it's angle
- Multiply it with sqrt(5)
The problem here is you cannot just move u on the other side like that
ohhh
cause its not two numbers
its one
its jusrt described as two
ye
hmmm
so if v*u = -9.52
(v1u1, v2u2) = -9,52
right
?
that doesnt help
i dont understand
ok
Yea well
it's not possible to find it just using this formula
what do i do
In your class / book, do you have any other formulas or methods mentioned? There are some complex methods to do this as well, but it might be out of the scope of your course.
idk all i have is basic apuntation of everything
teacher didnt teach anything
ok i should jsut try to understand an answer
could you help?
@pastel wren
says
if v(x, y)
Yea that's right
cos60 is equal to 1/2
why does my calculator says 0.952
because its probably accepting radians
and it should accept? degrees?
radian is another unit of rotation
yes
Yea
We know u1 and u2, it's 2 and -4
We don't know v1 and v2, so we just write x and y for it,
Yea
why is it divided by sqrt5 *sqrt20 = the same
You can also write v1 and v2, it's just a variable but x and y is more easier to read.
We rearranged the formula
So
u.v = |u||v| cos(O)
becomes
u.v / |u||v| = cos(O)
So you get 2 equations, you solve for x and y , and you get 2 pairs of x and y, becuse there are 2 possible vectors (60 degrees in 2 directions)
so thats the only possible way to solve that
ok
ok
idk how will i remember it
ill probably do the second
one same
i should try to understand it
It's not too hard just divide it into smaller steps. Write the solution twice , once while looking at it, once on your own.
- You know that
|v| = 5, so expand it, you get the first equation. - You know that the angles make 60 degrees. So
cos(60) = u.v/|u||v|, and expand it. - You get two equations from steps 1 and 2, just solve for
xandy, and it's done.

What is the next number in this integer sequence? 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 22, 30, 37, 47, 56, 65, 74, 85, 93/
The sequence of differences I can see is 3,4,4,4,6,8,7,10,9,9,9,11,8.. Some regularity with the fours and the nines but idk
I could not find this in the database for integer sequences on oeis org.. so its not a super known one
is there a construction given for this sequence or did they just give it to you with zero context
well the issue with that type of problem is you could always find a polynomial function with a domain of n where n are integers that gives you each of those terms for each n
zero context. I dont need to find a formula, but the next number only
if zero context then all the terms after the last one shown are equal to 19 bc i said so
exactly
so you say the next number is 19?
no
no
she's saying that if you have no context, the next number can be whatever, for any reason
the point is the question is nonsense
well the sick part is, its part of an code challenge for a job
oh dang
who?
im a she...
sorry, i default to he pretty much all the time
bruh
😂
i'm just glad it wasnt an obvious answer to the question then 😄
i have a feminine name, a girl on my pfp, a pink role diamond and you still misgender me
that takes balls
☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️
that's all i see
ok but Ann is a girl name at least
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
anyway let's take this to #「helpers-lounge」 at least
cause this is getting off topic
what channel is no access
a cool kids club that only green names can see
:(
back to the question at hand. You do have additional context
you said it was a part of a code challenge for a job
just get used to defaulting to 'they'
which means at some point, you'd have additional information
100% more letters per pronoun? heresy.
100% less people you mistakenly offend
if only that were true...
well the numbers actually as presented are in three columns
anyways I give up
thx guys n gals
then you should present them in three columns
yeah so this is pretty random
yes, random af imo
!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
so is this a math question, or a non-verbal reasoning question?
take a screenshot?
oh its a job interview
sec
or use spaces and shift+enter for new lines?
its not a job interview. its a code challenge, to get a chnce at even interview
sec
1,4,8
12,16
22,30
37,47
56,65
74,85
93, ?
the first row has 3 numbers but maybe one can disregard the 8
the differences row-wise, as I calculated, then become
11,12
10,14
15,17
19,18
18,20
19, ?
that seems manageable
to find a pattern
woops i wrote one row wrong, its 12,16 not 12,6
fml
this looks familiar...
pretty much yes
But wait.. Can there be a pattern of patterns? It feels like when we hit "37" things change. The first 7 numbers maintain a pattern, then the remaining 7 maintain some other pattern? Notice that the first 7 numbers are all even. In the next 7, the first number is 3, then 4, then 5, .. 6, 7, 8 ,9..
looks like id fail this challenge too
is there no more context you can give
its not related to coding in any way?
No. its a engineering company in Sweden, doing a coding challenge with 5 questions. For example on question was about Turing machines, another about those typical inductive reasoning stuff you do at tests
one was about circles and distances etc

we kinda need all the context, man
but there IS a question, that you have yet to provide
which company is this? do we have access to the challenge?
its the 5th question but you may have to solve the simple innitial riddle
so, I just tested 102, and it was the correct answer. But sad to not find a true formula for it
ahh it was column on my phone lol
there's a reason why we ask for the originals -.-
sure but the image to the right is the fibonacci sequence, has nothing to do with the problem

It says solve for y
5y + 8 = 2y - 3x + 5
i looked on youtube and everything bro noone says how to solve this
i got a test on friday
and honestly the only part i know is that you need to minus the 5y on the left
What do you think solve for y means
@rare wraith Has your question been resolved?
You need to move all the y terms on one side, and everything else on the other side. Then simplify if possible.

Twelve points are given in the plane, so that no three points lie on the same line.
Five distinct segments joining pairs of these points are chosen at random, with all 12choose2 = 66 such segments equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability that at least one triangle is formed by the chosen segments? (The triangle's three vertices must all come from the original set of 12 points.)
5 segments make 1 triangle or 2, it's about subtracting 2-cases
counting 2-triangle is the hard part
so like
here's 9 points with one triangle drawn
we can choose a side and a point, and that makes 2 triangles
like this or this
@sleek quail Has your question been resolved?
or we can choose a side and 2 points, that's even smarter
hm im a little confused
can u explain the process a little more
idrk that many concepts but the lesson for this week is using the PIE counting process
so it suppsoedly is mainly that
there are 220 potential triangles: 12c3
if you do 220(9c2) you make all ways that have a triangle
both 1 and 2, except the 2-ways are repeated, they appear twice
whered the 9c2 come from..?
my bad
