You mean the equation for f(u)?
we have f(u) = u^2 + u for u = 1/n for some natural number n
why didn't I think of that ☹️ . thanks a lot though!
we can take e.g. u = 1, 1/2 and 1/3
then we can calculate f(u) for these values
and there is one unique parabola passing through the points (u, f(u))
Yeah and we want to prove something for f(x).
So we need to know what domain of x is so we can use appropriate substitution for f(u) or f(1/n)
in general if ur given an expression involving f(1/n) it's a good idea to manipulate it into f(n)
(in this case that's the solution you want to take)
and the one parabola is u^2 + u, because this one works and since there is just 1 unique parabola, no other parabola will work
got it, thanks!
I know, f(u) = u^2 + u isn't the complete proof. But the rest is trivial to see. f(u) gives us values of f(x) for at least 3 different values of f(x) (e.g. 1, 1/2 and 1/3), then there is only one possible parabola passing through those 3 points. And we know that the parabola x^2 + x definitely passes through those points. So we can just take this one unique solution and we're done
Cool but how do you know that f(u) =f(x)?
Or you just say that f(u) is special case of f(x)
Therefor lim of f(u) =lim of f(x)?
f(u) = f(x) for all u = 1/n, right?
Sorry ment derivatives
Yeah
we also know that f is a parabola
or its graph
f is quadratic functions
thats what i meant to say
Yeah make sense, so you just take special case
how many points on graph do you need to UNIQUELY define a parabola?
Thanks because was confused that we don't have range for x
2 or 3?
You only need 3 points, f(u) = f(x) for all u = 1/n gives us infinitely many points
meaning that if there even is a parabola passing through all of f(u), it must be unique
Yeah because we just concerned about limit so we can do thus
and since f(x) = x^2 + x works for all u = 1/n, we can just take that
and then trivially find the limit

I have a triangle with points A:(4,3), B:(0,0), and C:(4,-3). I solved the previous steps, but I need some help dilating this triangle by a scale factor of -4 about point A
I'd write B and C in terms of their x-y distance from A, multiply by -4, then adjust it back to normal coordinates
@marble sigil What do you mean by adjust it back to normal coordinates?
the first step is doing -4 to x and -3 to y, and in the end you do +4 to x and +3 to y to go back

hi how do i determine whether this sequence converges?
a.n = arctan(ln (n))
idk how to do the subscript
i havent tried much becuase im not sure where to start
but i know the domain of arctan is all real numbers
and domain of ln is 0 -> inf
and ln (infinity) is infinity
so we just have arctan(inf)
Do you know what arctan(x) looks like
Oh nvm I don’t think I understand this problem fully
Are you trying to find if the infinite term will reach a certain value
nw
Yea I guess
Arctan is the inverse of the tan graph so it is reflected across y=x
do you know what tan(x) looks like
ok reflect is across y=x and then you get arctan(x) but remember that functions can only have 1 value
period pi
actually do you just want to see what arctan(x) looks like then it will be obvious

Hello, I was wondering how to find the limit of a linear recurrence with variable coefficient ?
More precisely for the following sequence:
$a_{n+2}=\frac{n+1}{n+2}a_{n+1}+\frac{n}{(n+2)^2}a_n$
Louis
with a_1 = 1 and a_2 = 0.75
in general you just have to guess a function that sort of matches the recurrence, here it's going to be something involving factorials
oh apparently OEIS says it's about derangements, so you can't really do this algebraically and would want a combinatorial proof
you sort of just have to know it. but the derangement recurrence is a(n+2)=(n+1)a(n+1)+a(n)
I'm sorry but I don't really understand how is this suppose to help me
the answer is going to look like (factorial times or divided by other factorials)*(degrangements !n)

Hi, the formula for the sector of a circle is theta times radius squared times half correct? However, in this answer sheet I don't see the 1/2 in the first part where it says pi times 12 squared over 4 and I don't know if I'm wrong or if this is a misprint.
pi r^2 is area for circle
u know its a quartar of circle so area of that is pi r^2/4
but wheres the 1/2
isnt there supposed to times 1/2
so its pi times 12^2 over 4 times by 1/2
right?
nvm i got it

I have this question
i did the first step
i know u have to do polynomial divison
i did some of it
im on the 2nd part of it
this is also college algebra
what is the 2nd part?
i did like the first step in the divison were the x goes on top
but i nvr finished the rest
im not sure what you mean, the oblique asymptote will be the quotient without the remainer
thats all that is asked in the question
i know what u mean but like the question im trying to ask is that like
can i show you my work?
sure
alr
this is what i have so far for the division
ik its simple but idk what to do next😭
The same thing you did for the first line
you need to find a term to multiply by x to get -17x
i think the bot would say something

It's a
g(y) for any y give you positive Therefor look at x^2-1
When x=1 or - 1 we have 0
Horizontal line
When x<1/x >-1
We have negative gradient
Other cases are positive gradient Therefor it should be A

is there any quick way to do this?
Other than finding A^2, A^3 etc
My Sir @tepid ether can help
its not like the powers are hard to compute
It likely comes down to how x^5-1 factors and then computing A^2

Okay I can solve both questions individually but I don't understand why 1 leads to 2
The reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1. Therefore, $3/19= 27/1$
The reciprocal of 7/3 is 3/7. Therefore, $3/79=27/7$
zeinvincible
So both answers are correct by doing them individually, however, the second answer is apparently meant to be derived from evaluating the first answer

<@&286206848099549185>
yes
I think it’s trying to get you to see that if you are given a numerator other than one you use the numerator at your new denominator after dividing
Count how many sets of 7 colored blocks there are
4
why do i use the new numerator as my denominator
There’s not quite 4 look at the last set of 7 how many are filled
6, why isnt the last filled?
If the last was filled we would get to 28/3 looking at the number line
But 27/3 is 9
The colored blocks represent 7/3s, it changes color after each 7/3
So in 9 we have 3 and 6/7 7/3s
I believe you just need to rewrite 3 and 6/7 as an improper fraction
I believe it’s trying to get you thinking of 1 leading to 2 as 9 / 1/3 is 27/1 which is also 9 * 3/1
Then when you get to question 2 9 / 7/3 should be 9 * 3/7

for this question, the x axis starts from 20. would it be the okay if i start at like 150 instead? or is there a specific reason on why its starting at 20
你的数学老师用英语教你吗
it starts at zero, it just isn't marked
starting at 150 would be ok too

deltaG
where (h,k) is the vertex
i don't know how to find the value of a
i found h and k
y-k? isnt it just y
you can see in the graph that it passes through (0, -1) right
yeah you can throw the k to the right hand side and get the same
it'll satisfy the equation you got
g(x)=a(x-4)^2 -3
how do i continue?
can you show me the equation you got
where is y lmao
idk how to continue
deltaG
you should get this
because thats how parabolas are defined?
the most basic one
y^2 = 4ax
a is the focus
ok
can't get the answer

i got 1/32 while the answer is 1/8 for a
i guess yall use a different notation
use without 4a and you'll get 1/8

for convenience, introduce three variables for the
height, length, width
of the cuboid
and also draw in the line segments BH and BG
and introduce 3 variables for the height, width, length of the prism
its not needed but it'll make things a little easier
ok good
now <GBH can be determine from cos rule if you know all three sides of the triangle GBH
currently you know two, with b currently unknown
so the next step would be to determine that
now, do you know pythagoras' theorem
as well as how it applies in 3D?
pretty similar
p^2 + q^2 + r^2 = d^2
from how you defined a,b,c here that'd give you
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 36^2
a^2 + c^2 = 24^2
which lets you determine b^2 and b

determine x
are you trying to find the equation?
u know its gotta be something divided by x since its undefined at a point. If u subtract x in the denominator by the value of that point itll move it from 0 to the point (which here is 1)
-1 / (x - 1)
and since at x = 0 this is 1, you just add 5 to it
f(x) = -1 / (x-1) + 5
looks about right
nvm this is wrong

Guys I need help
In the triangle with a 30 degree angle,the altitude relative to the hypotenuse divides it into two segments measuring m and n units,respectively,where m is greater than n.We know that the ratio of m to n is greater than 1. Formulate a conjecture specifying the value of the ratio m to n in this type of triangle
If you could help I would really appreciate it ¡
so first off you should find all of the angles (easy part)
then find cos 30 (for bigger triangle) and cos (find it) (for smaller triangle) then you got it pretty much.
@grizzled tundra Has your question been resolved?
I tried(thank you tho),problem is that I have to invent values and find the link between my values and the question but I don’t know how
i don't think your going the right way...
tbh i have no idea what im doing either
not that complicated find cos30 and cos60
oh yeah i get it now
so base on that we have
$M/x=√3/2 , N/z=1/2$

I have Proof question.
I'm currently working on Proofs by Jay Cummings (amazing book, hilarious). Exercise 1.2 is "Explain the error in the following "proof" that 2=1. Let x=y. Then,
I made a proof and while it seems right, I can't help feel like I did something wrong and still misunderstanding the idea on writing proofs.
For some context, Im on a math journey from Algebra to Linear Algebra while learning Pure Math concepts.
Im currently in Algebra 1, therefore at the start of this personal journey, so "proved" this exercise with Algebra. Would it be a good idea to share my scratch work? And to keep it short:
I defined
x=2, y=1, because it looks like 2=1 denotes x=y based on the question. - (maybe i have yet to prove this?)
x^2=xy returned 2=1 so true
x^2-y^2=xy - y^2 returned 2=1 so true
(x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y) returned 3=1 so false
x + y = y returned 3=1 so false.
To me, that proves 2=1 wrong. But is there a better more efficient way of proving this? did i do algebra poorly and were the results i got wrong? I guess thats where im hung up. perhaps "solving" the proof algebraically doesnt actually prove anything?
well if x = y
then x - y = 0
and you're dividing by 0
This line is the last correct line
I think im still stuck on algebra. If I remove y from the right side and move it to the left, wouldnt the equation come out to be -y + x = 0. Oh. That is also 0. OH I GET IT NOW.
Note it reads "0 = 0"
why DF:FA:BH = 5:6:3?
I got my wires crossed a bit and tried to solve this in a weird way when it was much more simple than I thought. I didn't have to plug anything in.
Thank you!

Hi
accidental istg
Ok
mb g
Can sometime help me now?
How
find the total surface area
wow, you want a kiss on the cheek with that too
what is the 21 cm connected to
9
Im not sure man
9 is the measure in cm of the other side I think
So it wouldn't be height
2*(21.5)^2 + 2(21) + 21.5*(9)
The backside
Why does it have a exponent there?
I think it would be
2 x (21.5• 21 ) + 2 x ( 21.5 • 9)
I think it would be this
But like that answer is 614.7 cm^2
Oh that 614 is already the answer?
What do you mean? Sorry?
im wrong its hte height
I thought it was of another question, sorry
.
We’re working on this. ^^
OK so as I understood, the red 614.7 is the answer ?
Correct.
I’m not sure, that’s why I’m struggling on this.
we dont need a quick example
we need to see the figure better to understand the 21 is about
This alone doesn't make that much of sense
That’s pretty much it then.
I think 21 is the height
Let's suppose is the height
Here are a quick example.
Ok
Anything yet?
I'm only getting similar results
But not the same
One thing I tried :
2(½ • 21.5 • 9 ) + 2(½ • 21.5 • 21 )
But it resulted 645 cm²
Not the same
So, what’s your saying is that the answer they gave it is wrong?
I'm not saying with 100% sure, but based on our results it is to be wrong
Try asking your teacher
Okay.

A class has 5 female students and 6 male students. Line them up, calculate the probability for there are no female students adjacent to each other
i figure the only configuration for this to happen is MFMFMFMFMFM
so what i did was
how is that the only configuration
$\frac{A_6^6\times A_5^5}{A_{11}^{11}}$
oh youre right
i’m always right
im not sure how to calculate exactly how many of possible configurations?
you need to have a male between each female but if you just put one that still leaves 2 males “free”
and you can insert them anywhere
right, so the base config is FMFMFMFMF, which i have 2 M left
sure
there are 10 available slots for a M
once that M joins, there will be 11 available slots for another M
so, 10*11?
the space between people that i can insert another male in
for example, i can insert a M between the first F and first M, that a slot
just think of the slots as between the Fs
and at the beginning and end
so 6 of them
oh
and 6^2 ways to place down Ms
so a total of 36 possible configs to satisfy the initial condition?
36 permutations of FFFFFMMMMMM fit the problem specifications yes
right, so my final answer would be
$36\times\frac{6!5!}{11!}$
which gets me 6/77?
seems wrong, it isnt listed in one of the options
never seen this A notation
yeah in my place its used as A, combination counts that order matters
lol you could just say 11! instead of P_11^11
oh yeh i forgot
but anyway

if it helps, the options are:
- 65/66
- 1/22
- 1/66
- 7/99
i eliminated the first and last options; the last implies the configurations amount is non-integer, while the first is wayyyyy too high realistically
youre welcome to do so if it helps
This is the question right?
yes
For these types of question i generally like to split the condtions and then solve
First total number of ways to arrange all of them is 11! agree?
yeah, go on
No female should be adjacent to each other
so we create gaps which can be filled in
right
so we have 7 gaps
so 7C5 ways of arranging the female
and then for male
its simple
6 male 6 factorial ways
7? i only see 6 on the diagram
but its still possible that there is 2 adjacent males
FMFMFMFMFMMF is a valid combination
alright gotchu your doubt
now lets say out of 7 spots
i fill 5 spots
like this
sorry for bad handwriting
now see there is two gaps between male?
those are empty
so that means they will sit together
so the combination here is FMFMFMFMMMF
Since we are choosing 5 spots out of 7
The rest spots can be filled by men
ok onto next part
we got the seats ready
now the male does not have any restriction
so 6! ways
And obviously since we placed the FEMALE seats 2 F wont sit together
we already got the number of possible configs, then we can just multiply it to 6!5!/11! ya?
same result can also be yielded by 7C5 * 5!
so that gives me 1/22
right i get it now, thanks @final horizon @cinder flower
btw
just one more tip
hi
This method is called gap
gap method
whenever you see adjacent word
in the question
you pop this in
always works👍
Glad i could help!

I've been struggling with this question and I can't understand the solution. How many integers $n$ are there in ${ 1,\ 2,\ 3, \ldots , \ 2022} $ such that $ \left \lfloor{\sqrt[3]{n}}\right \rfloor $ is a factor of $n$?
everything_addict
Just find how many numbers in ${n^3, n^3+1, ... (n+1)^3-1}$ that is divisible by $n$
Xwtek
@arctic cave Has your question been resolved?
huh
Do you know how many numbers in ${1, 2, ... n}$ that is divisible by $k$?
Xwtek
What do you know about divisibility?
(Also, please do ping me, I might be lost in way and forget to check this thread.)
alright
wdym
btw its a math olympiad question
I know.
so no calculators or anything
If you're prepared for olympiad, you should've been taught about divisibility
yep
Then, for this question, what is the answer?
And no, there is a simpler answer than "calculate one-by-one"
for k an integer right?
Natural number
Lemme test
$$\left \lfloor{\frac{n}{k}}\right \rfloor$$
$\lfloor{\frac{n}{k}}\rfloor$
TeXit was just drunk
im a bit new to latex
But that's right.
Now, how about this?
everything_addict
I think you missed a term.
@smoky musk
Can I show your calculation?
$\frac{\left( (n + 1)^3 - 1 \right)}{n}= n^2 + 3n + 3$
everything_addict
$\frac{n^3}{n} = n^2$
everything_addict
everything_addict
Correlation?
So, what is the possibe values of x such that
$n = \lfloor \sqrt[3]{x}\rfloor$
for a specific n?
Xwtek
everything_addict
i sort of get the connection but t doesnt work out somehow
sorry about that
could u guide a bit more
Divide the range to several categories:
${{1,..., 7},{8,...,26}, ..., {1331, ..., 1727}, {1728, ..., 2022}}$
And calculate the valid integer for each case.
Xwtek
Be careful. 2022 is not 13^3-1
oh yeah
so for 1 through 11 ill do that
then for 12 i have to calculate
😦
right?
everything_addict
everything_addict
Wait, you made a mistake on 4

A bit confused here.
I wrote
ai) 4!=24 aii)(3P3)(2P1)=12
bi) 4^4=256 bii)(5P3)(2P1)=120
Or do I use permutation?
4+4•3+4•3•2+4•3•2•1
4P4+4P3+4P2+4P1
But for bi
nvm got it
Can I for the ii sections say because there're 2 even cards and 2 odd cards, so there're just 1/2 of it being even?
Or do I have to expand that?
got them
thanks

hello. Is this channel available
yes
oh. oki
can someone help me with this
according to the available choices, approximately 0.029 ft per hour is correct. but I don't understand how it got up to that point
aight illl try
looks like its related to applications of derivatives
@torpid mica what was your final equations?
for dh/dt?
hello. what do meant by that
what was your approach to this question?
the formula for this would be V=1/3pi r^2 h.
yes
now radius will change as per height am i right?
yes
heard of it but not in actual application
aight so
now imagine 2 traingles
basically they are said to be similar if the ratio of their any 2 corresponding sides are equal
for eg
abc
and prq
pqr*
2 triangle
now if ab/bc = pq/qr
they are said to similar
and lets say they share 1 common angle
or should i say
angle abc = angle pqr
this might seem a bit complicated at first
but all gotta do is visualize the cone
look
can u see the inner and outer trinagle
both fo them are similar
of the condition above is statisfied
now
so, uh -- the bottom one requires attention?
both of them does
wait a sec im drawing smth
tell me do u see the 2 traingles?
triangles which are similar
yes
I understand the 15 and 10 but not so much with the 5
well
the tank is 10ft wide
right?
now what that means is the diameter of the tan
tank
the conical top
is 10m
so the radius will be 5m
ohhh.
I get it now
now due to similarity between the 2 traingles
x/5 = 10/15
right?
and x is raidus so lets denotes by
r
and
that 10
is the height
at that exact moment
but we want to generalize it
so we'll just take h
so
r = h/3
now u know
that at any random time
when h is lets say 6ft
the r will be 2ft
now u already know the formula
v = 1/3 pi r^2 h
put value of r as h/3
now differentate both wrt t
and youll have value of dh/dt
I tried to input the values in the calculator and it worked. Thank you

If I integrate 1/2x can I integrate 1/x and multiply the answer by 1/2?
like factor out one half
but it's not really working
bc one way you get .5lnx
the other 0.5ln(2x)
Well you can split 0.5ln(2x) into 0.5(ln(2) + ln(x)) so the 0.5ln(2) becomes part of the constant of integration thus you get left with 0.5ln(x) +c as before
But yes it just makes a bit more sense to take the 1/2 out first haha

a soccer tournament is played until A or B wins 4 rounds
what is the probability A wins in the 6th round
i got this:
probability of the score being 3-2 in 5 rounds:
5 C 3 * 1/2 ^ 5
probability A wins in the 6th is 1/2
so its 5 C 3 * 1/2 ^ 6

Is an equation an equivalence relation?
For example, d/dx c = 0 is an equivalence relation or an equation?
an equivalence relation can sometimes be defined by an equation if thats what you mean
but this is just an equation
I just learnt that the two sides of an equation symbol are never the same, unless it is x = x, I'm trying to understand this concept.
As I understand it now, there are relationships, or arrows of categories, and there are equivalence relations, and there are equations.
oh you want to do this from the level of category theory?
then I'd rather not answer
Okay. I have very basic understanding of this, but it seems very interesting.
Thanks anyway!

however apperantly this isnt the answer. and I dont quite understand why this isnt the approach. I have read the answer is the following:

I don't really understand what they want me to do here, or how to find their answer.
The second image is part of the example that they gave me to understand how to do it
@onyx verge Has your question been resolved?
@onyx verge Has your question been resolved?
are you still there?
yes, sorry for the late reply
~10.996
i was more confused as to where they got the x coordinate's location from, honestly
so in the example, 12 would be to the right of that, yeah?
yes
and in your problem, you're trying to find the approximate answer for when theta = 6, yeah?
yup
so what is the closest value on the number line to 6?
This, right?
But that's assuming each tick is an increase of x by 1 and not some other number
is that not what you're looking for?
Sorry, i got distracted, hence the late reply
when you multiply 3*pi and then divide by 2, what do you get?
~4.71
ok, so that's less than 6, yeah?
yes
is there another number closer to 6 on the number line?
2*pi gets ~6.28
which is closer. so that means that your value must be a little to the left of 2pi, ya?
correct. But where do i go from here?
so what is the approximate value of the function just to the left of 2pi?
i'm not sure how exact the answer needs to be
the example's answer was -0.5, so maybe just by approximations of .5?
note that the value has to be negative, because just to the left of 2pi, the function is negative
oh, i see what you mean
yeah
interesting
so something between 3Pi/2 and 2Pi.
i dunno, so i just draw lines and hope one sticks?
i don't see the rest of the instructions, so that seems about right
