Hey Guys
Can I get some steps to how to solve this? ( just want to understand how to get to the answer)
in some order:
- combine fractions
- multiple the x^2 into the parenthesis
- simplify

✅
you said multiply the x^2 into the parenthesis and got 2x^2 - 2x^2 which if we simplify more will equal to 0, right?
ya

idk where the du goes... but this dont look like the right answer
what do i do after the dx=wtv is found... do i plug it into the dx??
This is incorrect

Hey, one thing you should always do whenever you find an antiderivative is to simply differentiate it to see if we obtain the function that we were integrating. If we do then we know know its right.
On the right handside what I did was first differentiate the antiderivative obtained wrt to ln(x) and then simply differentiated the composition, so that we have it wrt x and boom.

How can i show that this time series is invertible? X_t - X_{t-1} = 2Z_{t-4) + Z_{t}
you need to check that the autoregressive (AR) polynomial has all its roots outside the unit circle
the AR polynomial should not have any roots with magnitude less than 1
ye
ok, so b lays inside on the unit circle
hence its not invertible
Ok @strong atlas dont think i provided enough context
initially, this was a SARIMA model however with some conditions of coefficients, i was left with the above time series
So in that case, i would check the MA terms right?

Hello
Part B,
Im unsure how to find it, as you cant just dy/dx it find for r and throw it in
Also I have No Idea what the green means
This is the answer
well the perimeter of the sector would be 2 times the length of the radius plus the length of the sector
and it tells u the area of the sector is 100
u know the area of a circle is pir^2
since a sector is a portion of a circle
r>sqrt(100/pi)
because if the total area was 100
then pi * r^2=100 and r=sqrt(100/pi)
the area of sector is 1/2 * r^2 theta
=100
the length of a sector is r theta
where did u get stuck
the length of the sector will be 200/r because
1/2 *r^2 theta is 100
therefore r^2 theta is 200
therefore theta is 200/r^2
since u know the length of the sector is r theta
then length of the sector is
r(200/r^2)=200/r
so total perimeter is 2r+200/r
to find the minimum value
differentiate with respect to r
=2-200/r^2
=0
so 2r^2-200= 0
r^2-100=0
r= plus or minus 10 but u can’t have negative radius
so r=10
then plug that value of the radius back into the formula for perimeter
does that make sense
@upper shoal
👍🏻
Ah, I did what you did first, and differentiated it. I just lost after
2-200/r^2 becuase it was in a weird form.
This makes very much sense how you got r^2-100=0 lol stpid me
And for your explination on this sry its a bit like a foreign language didnt understand :<
But I will go through it in school with a tchr , so thank you for all the explination
@versed mica
yo
yes just get a common denominator
what didn’t u understand
yeah, very straight forward, I just left it as -200r^-2
and I forgot that it is also -200/ r^2
and then you do a bit of switcheroo
Got that
The whole worded text basically
No I understand this
Just how area of circle > area of sector
Therfore the conclusion r > 100/Pie
Is made
Yes
yep
the fraction can be found with the angle it makes
rTheta?
that would be the length
think about it like this
area= pi r^2 * theta/360
where theta is in degrees
does that make sense
because there’s 360 degrees in a circle
Yes
ok then if u just converted throat into radians
u would get
1/2 r^2theta
because 360 is 2pi radians
pi cancels
ah ok
and u get 1/2 r^2 theta
and u we don’t know theta
but we can express it as a function of the radius
which is hinted at because the perimeter formula they give u is in terms of r
all of these optimization problems
r all about expressing one variable in terms of another
OH I understand now
then differentiating with respect to that variable to find extrema
max/min
by setting it equal to zero
the derivative
The only part Im not sure is,
How do you know, know which formula to use
Of sector
ok
but then
u would have to make sure
the length of the sector was in degrees too
because s= r theta is for radians
the angle has to both be in terms of radians or both in terms of degrees
radians is simpler imo
and used more as u get more advanced
Ok good to know, bc we dont have any of that degree question stuff anymore
s= r theta is simpler than s= 2 pi r * theta/360
and similarly u can easily convert this into radians by rewriting 360 as 2 op
pi
then 2pi cancels
and u get r theta
day
haha day then
only 130
7:30 for moi
have a good night then

can someone help me with this question pls
can you make some equations linking various bits of the question
like how many women are there, w, compared to the men, m
how many of the women were unmarried
and so on
and then let n = number of people there
n = ????? (some formula in a bunch of variables)
@torn willow Has your question been resolved?
k
so the number of unmarried women = 40% of four-fifth of men?
unmaried women = (40/100)(4x/5), where x is the no. of men
the question says there were thirty women unmarried
so 30 = (40/100)(4x/5)
<@&286206848099549185>
yes!!!!
idk if that equation is right?
did u read the actual question?
@torn willow Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Just to make sure I don't misread, 40% of the women or men are unmarried?
@torn willow
i think its 40% of four-fifth of men are unmarried
cuz the question says 40% of "whom" were unmarried
and "whom" refers to four-fifths of the men
i guess
does it make sense @hasty patio
Kay
Wait ya
@torn willow
Why not, take it slow, and do some modelling, rather than trying to come up with an algebraic equation that might go south with a careless mistake

The area of a sector of a circle is 64sq.cm . Find its radius if the perimeter is a maximum

I'm just in a rush
Doesn't change the rules unforunately
yeah im really sorry about that
I guess its saying that the perimeter is already at its maximum value?
<@&286206848099549185>
What is the formula for the area of a sector
A = 1/2 r^2 θ
do you know how to maximize the perimeter of that sector using calculus
This is a strange question. The perimeter of the section is at least 2r, and no matter how large an r we choose there will be a theta that gives the right area. So there's no such thing as a maximum perimeter here.
Possibly there was a part 1 of this question?
no this is all there is
I would ask your teacher about it then, or whoever assigned it to you
alright
Well I'm guessing if you let $A = {(r,\theta), \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta = 64}$, you're trying to find $\arg \max_{(r,\theta)\in A}(r\theta + 2r)$
rafilou2003
maybe they actually wanted min
That would make sense.

,rccw
slay
How did you do part a? it's not very clear 
so basically I just used the volume of a cone formula
(pi)(5^2)(-50/3)
the -50/3 came from -3/10 cm/hr but when it reaches 5 cm
so i set up a proportion for -3/10 x = 5
and then i got -50/3
part (a) doesn't need your -3/10 cm/h, it's just volume
What's the volume of a cone formula? 
Yep, r isn't 5 in that case, but the height h is 5
If the height is 5, you can use that you're in the bigger cone to find r from there 
if the height is 5,
then
r = h/5?
wait ik i need to find the relationship bween h and r first, but how do i do it
Note that you're in a right circular cone...
ohh h/2
Yea the larger cone has radius 5, so you know that 5/10 = r/h (similar triangles), so r = h/2 
righttt i just realized 😅
so then itd become pi*(5/2)^2 * 5/3
which is 125pi/12
looks good to me 
now hb part b?
dV/dt = 2pi(r)(dr/dt) * 1/3(dh/dt) ?
would i or would i not have a dh/dt after the 1/3?
Well, bear in mind that you can find the volume of water V in terms of h
From here 
?
You can then of course use chain rule nicely 
Basically you have that $V = \frac{\pi}{12}h^3$ - and that you were given $\dv{h}{t} = -\frac3{10}$
@merry carbon
You can find dV/dt from there ⛓️
Im getting a very wrong answer by doing that...
i mean my dV/dt was 3(pi/12)^2 * (pi/12 * dh/dt)
is that even right in the first place?
how did you get that? 
idk thats what im saying
Well note we want dV/dt, and we have dh/dt, but we have V in terms of h...

Hey, I'm new to logarithms (doing Pre-Calc 12), and can't seem to solve 5^x=2^(x-3). Logging both sides with a base of 2 leads me to log5/log2=(x-3)/x, and base 5 gets the reciprocal of both. Can I have some steps through the problem please? I got some help from someone else, but I need confirmation.
$\frac{log5}{log2} = \frac{x-3}{x}$

solved this onne
where m = 1 and x = -1
then i solved the second case (x^2 + 2x + m = 0) but was just unsure why its (x-1)(x-m) and not (x+1) (x+m) if the common root is -1 for both quadratics
answers^
i got both but i dont understand how the x^2 + 2x + m quadratic can't be expressed as (x+1)(x+m)
but its (x-1)(x-m) if the root is -1
yeah i know
but from the first part
it gives us a root
so we use that
its like (rootm x +1)^2 and then the first quadratic where m = 1 and x = -1
The root being -1 will give you a value for m
Since the original expression cant be factored like that
It means
That the reason why the root is -1
Is m

im getting x+3y=0
i replaced x^2 y^2 with xx1 and yy1 and i replaced x with (x+x1)/2 and y witth (y+y1)/2
what did i do wrong?
do you have to correct answer
another approach i tried was finding dy/dx for the eq i got
dy/dx = - [(x+2)/(y+1)]
now for (-1,2) i get dy/dx = -1/3
And line equation at (-1, 2)
y-2 = -1/3 (x+1)
y = -1/3 x -1/3 + 2
y = -1/3x +2/3
which is different but still wrong
the answer booklet says answer is C but im not sure if the booklet is right or no

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 please show your work
so 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 can be placed in 3 places, [ ] [ ] [ ] ,the first one can be 4 numbers, the seoncd one can also be 4 numbers, the last one can be 3 numbers
then 4*4 = 16 then times 3 is equal to 48
So 48

when we talk about coloring a graph, are we referring to coloring the verticies of the graph or the faces of the graph
cuz like I have this problem
if we are talking about coloring the verticies then it is clear to see that the max degree of a vertex is 2 so it has at most 12 edges
but if we talk about faces it is much harder to prove
It's about coloring the vertices, but I don't think you claim about the max degree of a vertex being 2 is correct
Actually yea you right that logic wouldn’t work
I’m not really sure how to prove it then
I don't have full answer either rn, but more than 12 edges would imply a vertex having at least degree 5
I think that might give a contradiction
How would it give a vertex having degree 5
Oh yea the sun of the degrees would be >= 26
more than 12 would actually imply that vertex having exactly degree 5 and needing a unique color
I think 2 would need degree 5 cuz we need degrees to sum to 26, like we can’t have 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 cuz that is 25
And then if any 2 of the other 4 vertices are connected then we have essentially K4 which needs 4 colours so we have contradiction
^ that make sense?
yeah, you're right. That would mean those 2 vertices have unique colors though
Alr makes sense
I was trying to approach it through theorems from class which was much harder than it needed to be ig
Ty for the help
I don't know a lot of theorems so I had to use this approach
Yea using contradiction works a lot in graph theory so it’s a pre good approach

Any ideas?
I do know what a boolean function of n degree means
But for example how am I supposed to know how many different boolean functions of n degree are there? I can make up as many as I want, no?
also im unsure regarding the surjective and injective part
Like for example f(a, b, c, d) = a + b + c + d is ... I dont know what it is lol
@serene hamlet Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
a quick google will tell you that the degree of a boolean function is the number of its inputs
yeah I already said that I do know what it means
.
if you say define two degree 3 functions, f(a,b,c) = 1 regardless of a,b,c. and g(a,b,c) = 1 regardless of a,b,c, then they're really the same function
dont we define the function?
like f(a,b,c)= a + b * c
I feel like im about to get a whole lecture about this topic cause I misunderstood the whole idea of these functions
ok i typed something that's about 5 times too long so lets try something less insane
when you define a function, you only look at the following:
its domain
its codomain
the mapping from the domain to the codomain
and if 2 functions share the same everything, they're considered the same function
so for example, when you answer the question "the number of functions whose input is a real number, and whose output is always 0"
the answer is 1. you can define it as f: R -> {0}, f(x) = 0
it's not infinite because of some claim that you can change the letter f to be any other label
codomain is the image right?
uh as far as we're concerned here that's a fine assumption
in general the image is a subset of codomain (and codomain is used when the function is not well understood which is not the case here)
hmm
so back to the question
looking at A
the image of the function can be 1, 0
so for your f: {0,1}^3 -> {0, 1}, f(a,b,c) = a+b*c, it has its truth table represented as:
a,b,c | f
---------
0,0,0 | 0
0,0,1 | 0
0,1,0 | 0
0,1,1 | 1
1,0,0 | 1
1,0,1 | 1
1,1,0 | 1
1,1,1 | 0
and any other function that you define for 3 inputs with the same truth table is identical to f
for a lazy example, say g(a,b,c) = a XOR (b AND c), it has the same everything, so g is identical to f
and when you count functions, f and g are not distinct, so they're only going to add 1 to your final count
so this is basically all the possible values that a, b, c can get
correct, so the number of distinct truth tables dictate the number of distinct boolean functions you can have
so its 2 to the power of the number of elements we have
does it work that way for any number of elements or this was just a coincidence
this will hold in general for boolean functions of any degree by the same combinatorical argument
and whats a combinatorical argument?
or do I need to be worried about it at all as a freshman?
eh, combinatorical argument is just the mathy jargon for "how to count something"
oh its that thing where you define how operations work
here counting the number of boolean functions for some degree
so ig I dont need to worry about it for now xd
okay thanks a lot, it really helped!

$\frac{1}{{x^2+4}}$
how would i use u sub in that
\frac*
xyz
Using u sub on that wouldn’t really work, so do you know how to use trig sub?
u = x^2 + 4?
no du wouldnt resemble the other part i think
would rewiriting it as the derivative of the arctan help?
x = 4u dx = 4 du
or are there better ways?
ah you mean convert to an arctan
right
The goal is to change x itself into a trig function using theta. When dealing with addition in the denominator you use tangent(theta). Here’s an example:
xyz
and then do u =x/4
an easier way would be doing the sub given by @wooden lion

hi, how to prove that x^2+x-2 is a square in Fp* please ?

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.
we are in the corps Fp
and Fp*
show that if x+x+1=0 has a solution, then -3 is a square in Fp*
p is prime
its called field in english
ok sorry
ok, so basically a completely different question than what you originally asked
why ? if x^2+x+1 has solution, then -3 is square, so x^2+x+1 - 3 = -3
then x^2+x-2 is square
you completely neglected the if part
without it this question is false
what happens if you complete the square for x^2+x+1
completing the square?
never heard of it?
its the way the quadratic formula is derived

✅
hmmmm, it seems we have to infer it based on the graph of the derivative
d/dx [F(x)] = f(x), we need F(x)
What I would first start doing is labelling the sections
where the derivative is 0 (critical point)
graph f is a graph of the derivative of F, i.e. it shows monotonicity intervals and local extremes
mhmmm
is F going to be curved, or have lines?
yep we can infer whether its concave downwards based on this test
If f' goes from - --> + f'' > 0 (concave upwards)
If f' goes from + --> - f'' < 0(concave downwards)
also do note the inflection points
so should i graph part b first?
@upbeat glade im still pretty confused on what to do
f'(x) would be the second derivative of F(x)

how would i do this?
if A^-1 x=b then AA^-1 x=Ab Ix=Ab, x=Ab
so just multiply A^-1 and x?
[17,3]
you meant A and x, but yeah
is there a reason you doubt it?
im not sure with this
a bit hard to understand
if i have an invertible matrix A with Ax=b
if i multiply on the left by the inverse of A, A^-1
A^-1 (Ax)=A^-1 b like so
(A^-1 A)x=A^-1 b, A^-1 A=I which is the identity matrix, since thats how inverse matrices work
so youre left with Ix=A^-1 b hence x=A^-1 b
indeed
its just a bit confusing that the question gives you x and then asks for x
whats x = [2 3] then
would this be the same?
same process yeah
and when multiplying, the inverse matrix comes first right?
you have to multiply on the left
answer is a?
,w ((1,5),(0,1))*((0,2),(1,3))
seems so
if you multiplied on the right, youd just get AxA^-1=bA^-1, which doesnt really help
you want to multiply on whichever side will put the inverse and its matrix next to eachother
if you want to verify, replace A with your result
and see if you get the right hand side
but itll require you to actually work out that inverse matrix
So you got it how to compute this
yes A^-1b
Matrix is already in inverse so you multiply the Matrix by 2,3 like this you have done?
yea
and you get [17 3]
rn im looking for a way to verify ive got the correct answer
Well it's correct no need to verify
if you really want to verify, invert the matrix, then multiply by [17 3]
wdym by invert?
Find inverse matix he means
oh like A^-1 times A^-1 will give me A?
no
you might want to review matrix inverse: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/precalculus/x9e81a4f98389efdf:matrices/x9e81a4f98389efdf:practice-finding-inverses-of-2x2-matrices/v/inverse-of-a-2x2-matrix for example
i know how to do that
you're asking me to find inverse of the inverse?
ok yea i just did that im getting [2 3]
ty
no, I'm saying if you want to verify your answer, find the inverse of $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5 \ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, then multiply that by $\begin{bmatrix} 17 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}$. you should get $\begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}$
cwatson
No he means to verify it by find inverse of 1,0 5,1
but that still means finding the inverse of a inverse matrix or am i missing something
no?
you are given some matrix A already. they are saying to solve the equation $A^{-1} x = b$ for $x$. so you left-multiply both sides by $A$
cwatson
so you just compute A* b, both of which are given
oh wait this is not already in inverse form?
that threw me off
how would i compute this
what i did was to find the first col of A i did:
[ 1 3 1
1 2 -1]
and found x1 = -5, x2 = 2 but thats wrong so not sure
you could invert the matrix on the left, and right-multiply both sides of the equation by that inverse
Im not sure what you mean by that
you have an equation $AB = C$. to solve for A, you would do $A = CB^{-1}$.
cwatson
oh
this time the inverse is on the right side. For the last 2 questions, the inverse on the left side. This is why i wanted to verify my answers
solution should be b

one thing: are you sure the sum starts at n = 0?
that looks like it would cause issues
right
then what can we say about each term?
$a_n\le:?$
lifefuel
given the even-odd condition, it'll be one of two formulas, right
both converge but one is even smaller
we could show the sum converges if we show it's less than or equal to an already convergent sum
if $a_n$ is equal to one of two things, but one is always less than or equal to another...
since the square of the reciprocal is equal and the cube of the reciprocal is going to be smaller (or equal for n=1, right)
so the entire sum is less than or equal to a sum of only squared reciprocals
yup
i'm not sure how rigorous this would be, but wouldn't it suffice to notice that
lifefuel
and
lifefuel
then notice that
lifefuel

holds for n ≥ 1 obviously, which we're considering

Let $n \in \N$, $a \in \R$, $b \in \R$, with $a > b > 0$. Where $r$, $\theta$, and $\varphi$ are spherical polar coordinates for $\R^3$ (with colatitude $\theta$ and azimuth $\varphi$), find the volume enclosed by the surface
[
r = a + b\cos(\theta)\cos(n\varphi).
]
I need some guidance with this one. Any hints on how I should do this because I'm clueless
i would start by bullying a computer into drawing that surface for me
I probably need to python or something right
desmos
pretty sure desmos can do spherical coordinates
what information am I meant to retrieve from its graph
if you cant use a computing program (e.g. on a test)
try making one constant and vary the other one
vibes
then when you have a whole buncha values, interpolate
yeah idk how you would figure this out
this is a=b=n=1
it gets wackier for different values
looks like a liver
kinda cool tho
the liver function
this surface is cursed but i love it
anyway the most important thing here is that it seems like the origin is inside the surface always
so you can just do a fairly standard integral over the whole sphere
my dumbass was messing around with values and was like "oh wow, b = 0 makes a sphere"
yes very good garlic

sphere?
like do a double integral of rho, where 0 < theta < 2π and 0 < phi < π
with the jacobian
the surface isn't in multiple parts, or floating off in space somewhere etc
and I think rho is always nonnegative? haven't checked that
okay thanks I got an idea

why is x discontinuous at -2
isn’t as x approaches -2 from the left -2^2 is 4 and as it approaches from the right isn’t it also 4
yeah but the answer says it’s discontinuous
Your function doesn't exist at -2
It is not defined for x=-2
i thought it not being defined doesn’t affect the continuity as long as they approach 4 from both sides like this
Depends on your definition of continuity, really it makes no sense to even talk about continuity at a point not in the domain of a function
Yeah mb, the function needs to be defined at that point as well

I'm a bit confused, isn't the y intercept just the last number since this is in y=mx+b form already
[
y=\underbrace{m}_{\mathclap{\t{the slope}}}x + \overbrace{b}^{\mathclap{y-\t{intercept}}}
]
so then would the y intercept just be 13/5? also the subtraction sign is kinda throwing me off
does that subtraction sign matter or no
oh ok
and it's just that simple? The question was just seeing if I knew the difference from the slope and the y intercept?
well the y-intercept is "where does this line cross the y-axis"
which, obviously always happens at x=0
so it's always the point (0, a)
and it should be obvious that when x=0, the equation just becomes...y=b

What is the maximum number of sides that can be longer than the largest diagonal?
Have a convex polygon?
@alpine elbow Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
In a convex polygon, no side is longer than largest diagonal
Why
If you have a convex polygon with the vertices V1,V2,…,Vn,
where n>3
, then the diagonal V1V3¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
is certainly longer than any of the edges V1V2¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
and V2V3¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
. A similar assertion holds also for any other three consecutive vertices. This means that in any convex polygon there exists at least one diagonal that is longer than any of its edges. However, the longest diagonal must certainly have this property. This means that in a convex polygon there can never exist any edge that would be longer (or have the same size) than the longest diagonal of this polygon.

the trick is to use base 10, even if it's not supposed to be involved, like if you need to convert base-11 to base-7, you avoid the confusion if you convert to base 10 and then to base 7
Interesting, i read something similar about that
If i want to convert to one base to another i always make it base 10 and then make it the sought after base
is that correct?
right
Okay let me bring an example so i can double check that
With my current knowledge i know that
1 0001
2 0010
3 0011
4 0100
5 0101
6 0110
7 0111
8 1000
9 1001
A 1010
B 1011
C 1100
D 1101
E 1110
F 1111
I remember this by heart, what does it actually mean?
0001 <-- is this in base 2 ?
yes it is
If i have 432 base 4 and want to convert it to base 7
$432 base 4 = 4^2 3^1 2^0 \
\implies4 * 4^2 +34^1+24^0 \
= 78$
Merineth
you can do this in your head if you read left-to-right
4 * 4 + 3 = 19
19*4 + 2 = 78
I ideally prefer this way since it's a method i can apply to other examples
there's like × 4 + between the digits
but i am thinking correct?
yes
