hello
Oh boy
Just wondering what level of maths is this?
I've tried.
Year 11 3U NSW curriculum
try re-writing everything in terms of sin and cos
I was just sent the answers but I'm struggling to make sense of them
It doesn't work
Did I write this correctly?
yes
oki
$\frac{1+\frac{1}{sin^2(A)}\frac{sin^2(C)}{cos^2(C)}}{1+\frac{1}{sin^2(B)}\frac{sin^2(C)}{cos^2(C)}} = \frac{1+\frac{cos^2(A)}{sin^2(A)}sin^2(C)}{1+\frac{cos^2(B)}{sin^2(B)}sin^2(C)}$
clonesolopros
,w is (1+cosec^2(x)tan^2(y))/(1+cosec^2(z)tan^2(y))= (1+tan^2(x)sin^2(z))/(1+cot^2(y)sin^2(z))$
This is the writen one no?
whats next?
As it's shown
yep
nice
use this
maybe now you do this:
I'm slightly brain dead so I'm still trying
Looks like it's grade ten in india
$\frac{1+\frac{1}{sin^2(A)}\frac{1+cos^2(C)}{cos^2(C)}}{1+\frac{1}{sin^2(B)}\frac{1+cos^2(C)}{cos^2(C)}} = \frac{1+{\frac{1+sin^2(A)}{sin^2(A)} sin^2(C)}}{1+\frac{1+sin^2(B)}{sin^2(B)}sin^2(C)}$
let me cook

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
1
ok, so you want $\frac{x}{y}$ in your equation, do you see any way to get that?
caspar
no
what can you do to a fraction but still have it be the same?
im unable to think it
you can divide and multiply by tha same value in the numerator and the denominator
we can divide with y
yes!

A cannon ball is fired from x=0, y=0 with an angle theta and a speed v0. Find two angles that can be used to hit a target at ground level that is a distance of 50% the maximum range of the cannon ball
I am really stuck on this question
I tried solving for the max range, then dividing by 2, but I don't know how to use thay
I get v0/2g=cos(theta)t
So to find max range you have v0 vf and a right
So how would you solve for d
Remember at the apex the ball has a vertical velocity of 0
How do I get a formula for range without t in it?
Do you remember the big 5 formulas
There’s one without t
Oh from physics?
Right
I'm in a math mindset
Do you think I can just use those
Or do I need to somehow derive it

I want to show that a sequence of real numbers of the form: $x_n = \frac{1}{n} \log(a_n)$ converges, for some other sequence $a_n$. What properties would be enough to prove about $a_n$ that would imply the convergence of $x_n$
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
Eduude
I already know that for all $n$, $a_n \leq e^n$ and $_a{n + m} \leq a_n a_m$
Eduude
@mystic fog Has your question been resolved?
if there exists a polynomial P with positive leading coefficient such that a_n < P(n) eventually, that’s good enough i think
also assuming a_n > 0 for all n but that’s necessary for this question to make sense in the first place
i’m a little confused what you’re claiming here
@mystic fog Has your question been resolved?
This comes from a problem I'm working on, and on the setting of the problem, the sequence $a_n$ is always positive and bounded by $e^n$ and $a_{n+m} \leq a_n a_m$
Eduude
oh
I mean, there's clearly the trivial ones (eventually strictly increasing or eventually strictly decreasing, since we're bounded above and below)
You could also show that a_n converges or that it's upper bounded
Or if you find a strictly decreasing subsequence of a_n I think that'll do the trick

hi
i dont understand
shouldnt it shift 3 units to the right
so the x coordinate should be at 3 not at 4
you're ignoring the other transformations
well
how do the other transformations
affect the x coordinate
the + 2 means it goes up vertically 2 units
yes, which will change the location of intercepts

would this be convergent or divergent?
use alternating series test
i.e. check if (2n+1/(3n-2))^2n goes to 0 as n goes to infinity, if it does, then the series will converge
so the series is convergent!

Ignore the names of the sets if they confuse you.
My question is as simple as: Whats the probable time to complete any of the starred sets considering that i can get 1 random piece from any of the remaining 13 sets once per week.
(One full set has 4 pieces)
🌟Bannaret | Legs
🌟Serpent | Gloves
🌟Doom | Gloves
🌟Relish | Chest Gloves
🌟Cobalt |
Arugant | Boots Legs
Luna | Boots
Blood rite | Boots Legs Chest Gloves ✅
Regal | Gloves
Mercenary | Chest
Marauder | Legs
Buccaneer | Legs
Outlander | Legs
Alchemist |
17/56 Pieces/Weeks
(1 random piece per week)
24 irrelevant Pieces(AKA "Without emojis")
15 Relevant Pieces (AKA "🌟" )
39 Total Remaining Pieces
14 Possible sets (1 Completed)
Duplicates Is not possible*
Date of completion is going to be "14 Mar 2025" But i only need one of the starred sets to be satisfied.
Thank you in advance
<@&286206848099549185>
:( i gtg to bed <@&286206848099549185> close this when ive received an answer
This will close by itself due to inactivity. But it would depend on drop rates, I'm assuming this is a game?
Yes its a game, and we're talking 1 piece of a random set every week
All i am wondering is how long it would take for me to get one of theese full sets based on the amount of items that i do not want, of course this is RNG, so it may vary a lot
You could also provide me a way to calculate this myself if that is easier for you.
I can get any of 56 items every week, never duplicate items, there are sets of four. I want a complete set from any of the 5/14 chosen ones, in due time it will happen, odds wise, when?
(# of items needed)/(# total items). That gives the probability per week. But to be honest there isn't really a good way to calculate how long it will take since it's random chance. You could finish in the least amount of weeks (# of items needed) or the most amount of weeks possible (# of items not needed first than # of items needed.
Can you choose the items you get?
I obviously cannot
Completely random, only 1 per week
If i wondered how long it would take for me to get 4 specific items i could probably calculate it myself, but i am satisfied with getting any 4 items of 5 different sets, as long as the 4 items is from the same one, the odds should massively increase when counting more sets as valid?
I mean, you're increasing the number of items wanted, but once it gets down to like 1 item from 1 set and are like 2 items from multiple than so on increasing. You would probably start wanting that 1 item and that 1 items only. But yes it would 'increase' your odds
That's the thing, i still need a full set, just instead of 1/14 sets being the right one, i would be happy with any of 5/14 sets
How many items per sets?
To get 1 out of theese 5 sets when there is 9 wrong sets, how long would it take on average, There is 4 items in one set
15 correct pieces
24 incorrect pieces
Considering that ive found 17 already
I thank you for the help, i will just have to hope for the best, maybe this was a stupid question.

here i differentiate the function
and got D
e^sinx
e^sinx.cosx at x=0 it will be 1
and e^(1-cosx)sinx at x=0 it will be 0
so 0=1
f(x) is continous but not differentiable at x = 0
yes how did you check
like i did?
how?
sinx=1-cosx?
x=pi/4
this is wrong
there is no need to equate both of them
since there is no differentation involved,you just have to check if f(x) is continous at 0
actually there is no need to check for continuity,i thought that was limit
are you talking about this ?
.
since x is exactly equal to 0 , g(f(0)) would be e^(1-cos0)
I didn't get you,what was your question ?
function is continuous at x=0
how to check for derivative
draw it and you will see it.
you do not need to differentiate. draw the function and you will see its not differentiable at x = 0
.
i am asking about this
e^sinx
e^(1-cosx)
opps there is derivative also in the question
thats a different question as the the one you posted at the beginning. what is asked? g(f(0)) or the derivative of g(f(0))?
derivative
now i am asking about the second one derivative
which i posted
where equal sign is different
well again. my answer is: draw g(f(x)) and you will see its not differentiable.
.
is the change from x< 0 to x > 0 a smooth one or is there an abrupt change in direction?
if it helps

just cengage homework
well, what do you think the answer is?
I don't even know where to start 😭
what's sec(pi/2) as you approach it from the right
how do i figure that out?
+∞ , can use L Hopitals first
1/cos(x)
what, no
What's L Hopitals?
yes
umm why bro ?
what's (cos(\pi/2)) as we approach it from the right
it's in the infty/ a constant form

so for this problem I have obtained my A and C but getting my B is hard
like this is what I have
I dont know what to set B(x+2)(x-1) equal to, in order to get the answer for B
because what I am doing seems right but I just cant further go about getting B
why don't you expand everything out to get a system of equations
yeah
if you expand and distirbute everything
Lemme try that then
ok once you do that ping me
k
now group the x^2 terms the x terms and the constant terms
youll get something like (but with different numbers) $3x-9=(2A-B)x^2+(A+4B-C)x+3A-B+C+5$
The د
since in the LHS there is no x^2 term
you know that 2A-B must equal 0
similarly yk that A+4B-C=3
and finally 3A-B+C+5=-9
now you have a system of equations
you can solve by hand or let the calculatutr solve it for you
(of course these numbers are just arbitary and youll have smthn different)
but do you get the idea? @steep patrol
I get the idea but I always distrubite it wrong
The د
Its just A(x^2+4x+4) right?
and then it'll be Ax^2+4Ax+4A
perfect
Nice
so Im assuming the expansion of B(x+2)(x-1) would look something like B(x^2-x-2) and then this would be Bx^2-Bx-2B correct?
yeae
yea so if I foil it wouldn't it be x^2-x+2x-2?
you have it correct
oh ok
yeah yeah mb
ok for C you've made a slight mistake
when you have a 2nd degree denominator
you must account for the numerator bieng a linear term
(numerator always only 1 degree less than denominator)
so instead of C, use Cx
wait one sec
why do you have (x+2)^2 in the denominator?
since you already have a B/(x+2), you only need a C/(x+2)
alternatively, you caould have had $\frac{Bx+C}{(x+2)^2}$
The د
but $\frac{B}{x+2}+\frac{C}{x+2}$
The د
works fine
I dont think thats right becuz the book teaches that if a function to the power of 2 ur supposed to split it but still add the power sign to it
here's what Prof Leonard also teaches
from here, this is correct yeah
ok so when combining all formula's together u get x^2(A+B+C)+x(4A-B-C)+(4A-2B)
correct?
@runic quail
<@&286206848099549185>
yes thats correct
now set the coefficients on the left equal to those on the right and solve the system
Im setting it up but not getting a right answer
how did you set it up?
4A-B-C=0
omd
A+B+C should be 0 since you have no x^2 term on the left
this prblm got me fucked
ok
that makes sense bcuz since we have a x term 4A-B-C has to equal=3x
right?
this is another equation
where did you get A and C from?
from here
man Im so fucked rn I just wanna understand why b=-2/3 so I can sleep it off
bro I'm so sorry I messed you up
it's supposed to be Cx-C here
and the final system should look smthn like
Man I fucking hate math
Is that wolf?
yeah

the eigenspace associated with an eigenvalue lambda of a matrix A is Null(A - lambda*I) where I is the identity matrix of appropriate size
what part is confusing?
you subtract your eigenvalue from the diagonal and then find a basis for the null space of that new matrix
like are eigenspace and eigenvector the same thing?
I did that and im not getting the same answer
even with an online calculator
an eigenvector of a matrix A is a nonzero vector v such that Av = lambda * v for some lambda, which we call the associated eigenvalue. the eigenspace associated with an eigenvalue is the space spanned by all eigenvectors associated with that eigenvalue
for example, let's say i had a matrix where one of the eigenvalues was 3. then the space spanned by all eigenvectors of the matrix with eigenvalue 3 is called the eigenspace associated with the eigenvalue 3
I did exactly that and got the answer above but that doesnt match with the posted solutions. Is it possible the solution is incorrect?
i suppose it's always possible that the solutions are incorrect
,w rref {{-1 - 3i, 5},{-2, 1 - 3i}}
Then iii) is also incorrect. Only i) is the correct solution
this tells me that any vector (x,y) in the eigenspace associated with 2 + 3i for ii satisfies x = (1/2 - 3i/2)y, so (1/2 - 3i/2, 1) is a basis vector for the eigenspace
which is equivalently that (1 - 3i, 2) is a basis for the eigenspace
so far ii is correct
for the other eigenspace associated with 2 - 3i
you have
,w rref {{-1 + 3i, 5},{-2, 1 + 3i}}
how is this equivalent?
which tells me that (1/2 + 3i/2, 1) is a basis vector for the other eigenspace
we know that since (1/2 - 3i/2, 1) is a basis for the eigenspace, every vector in that space is some scalar c multiplied by this vector
so every eigenvector in the space is given by c(1/2 - 3i/2, 1)
every scalar c is exactly twice some other scalar d
so let c = 2d
then every eigenvector in the space is given by 2d(1/2 - 3i/2, 1) = d(1 - 3i, 2)
which means that (1 - 3i, 2) is also a basis for the space
if you have a basis for a vector space, you can always scale any vector in that basis and the result is also a basis for that space
ahh i see
but yeah based on the calculations i did, their solution for ii is correct
what you're getting here is exactly what i got before i scaled the vector by 2
that online calculator gave you an equivalent and correct answer
just not as "simplified" as the answer key you have
although both solutions should be acceptable

i dead
so i've got that E(R) = 5.5 and Var(R) = 3.85
pretty simple
i'm stuck on the laws of total expectation and variance, partly because the notation is kinda confusing
this is what we were told
\begin{gather*}
\sum E(N|R=y_2)f_2(y_2)\\
\frac{1}{10} \sum_{i= 1}^{10} n \cdot \frac{i}{10}\\
\frac{55}{100} n
\end{gather*}
omgatriple
i'm pretty sure this is right, but i have no idea how to approach 3d?
just use the definition of variance
Var(X) = E((E(X) - X)^2)
ugh, parenthesis
oh sorry
it specifies to use the law of total variance
which is
its this right
i think i kinda got it, you find the inner E(Y|X) and Var(Y|X) using the binomial formulas
and then u have a function of r, then you just use definition of expecation and varaince using sums from r = 1 to 10?
It's just a matter of applying the definition of E and Var. You don't need to do anything fancy
yup
For the second term, it would be $E(E(Y|X)^2) - E(E(Y|X))^2$ right
omgatriple
That is one way you can calculate it, yes
is there an easier way?
It just depends on what is easiest.
for the situation
Var(X) = E((E(X) - X)^2) is equivalent to Var(X) = E(X^2) - E(X)^2
and depending on how your data is organized the second or the first might be easier to calculate.
i see, i think i'm getting the way now. i was a bit confused with the composition of the functions but it's making more sense now
thanks

What did I do wrong
your diagonal length is incorrect
you said r = sqrt (42) but then drew the diagonal as sqrt(42)

let $f(x)$ be the solution of the problem with initial values $\\y' + \frac{x}{1+x^2}y = \frac{2x}{1+x^2}, y(0) = -1\\$ find the positivity set of f
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
I tried translating it but idk if its correct translation, this is original exercise in spanish
what is a positivity set
I'm not sure if positivity set is a term I haven't heard of or if it's a bad translation. Is it where f(x)>0? If so, this can be solved with an integrating factor and then we can find what values of x give the needed condition
so, yea
is the subset of the domain with positive images
can you solve for y?
in the ODE
thats part 1
$y' + \frac{x}{1+x^2}y = \frac{2x}{1+x^2}$
jan Niku
I cant I need more handholding
this is not even separable
🤯
no, its not
that page kind of spells it out
we ultimately want to rewrite the LHS as a product rule
$\dv{y}{x} + p(x) y(x) = q(x)$
jan Niku
can you identify p and q
no, you already got it screwy lol
jan Niku
Shit mb
jan Niku
yea, so, at the moment, you need that integral
Thiss
youre doing differential equations, i think you can handle a u-sub integral
write it this way
$v = \frac 12 \int \frac{2x}{1+x^2} \dd x$
jan Niku
Ok
does that help make it more clear?
theres no reason to waste time struggling with the integral really
not that you need to know how to do it, i dont think its useful to distract yourself with a small subcomponent of the larger problem
well, you do need to know, but maybe you know what i mean, lets bust out this integral 💪 so we can keep trucking
jan Niku
so yea
#1 i want you to do a quick mental verification if the absolute value bars are necessary
It ismt
#2 you can either trust me that the +C isnt necessary, or we can track it through the entire problem annoyingly and find out later it doesnt matter
Ok
maybe its easier to come back later when you understand the flow more, and see what happens if you decide to maintain it
Now wat
jan Niku
we found $v = \int p$ and we know v
jan Niku
jan Niku
Im so confused
which part?
You are using curly v and regular v to refer to the same thing
im trying to just use letters so we dont get too mixed up on the exact crazy looking functions
curly v?
Is tripping me up
do you mean y?
.
oh, sorry, i forgot to latex
theyre the same, i'll be more careful
lets start here
$y' + py = 2p$
jan Niku
and we know that v' = p, you say is okay?
Ye
jan Niku
this will work for now
Rhs aswell
well, maybe
lets see what happens
its not necessary just yet
now we multiply through by the integrating factor, thats e^v
$e^v y' + v' e^v y = 2p e^v$
jan Niku
can you recognize the application of the product rule on the LHS?
how about this.... can you solve for $\dv x \qty( e^{v(x)})$
jan Niku
how do we take the derivative here?
Function composition rule
v’ x e^v
$v'(x) e^v$?
jan Niku
that x in your answer has me worried
X is multiplication mb
jan Niku
you actually just computed the derivative, ill go ahead and use it to rewrite slightly
$e^v y' + \qty(e^v)' y = 2p e^v$
jan Niku
do you see the product rule now?
Ye
the derivative hits y in the first term, but leaves e^v alone
and in the second, it hits e^v, but leaves y alone
so, we can rewrite the LHS
as a derivative
of what?
how can we 'undo' the product rule. what product is the LHS a derivative of?
Unsure
seem reasonable?
Rhs PROD8CT RULE/?
LHS product rule
Dont u mean lhs
where did i say rhs 
Lhs i see thr product rule yes
e^v y
jan Niku
Yes
lets go ahead and take your suggest now, about p = v'
on the RHS
$\dv x \qty( e^v y) = 2v'e^v$
jan Niku
Sure
I cant
how can we get rid of the derivative
Integration
jan Niku
we defined it a long time ago
its not really necessary to know exactly what it is to do this integral
but, its $v(x) = \frac 12 \ln \qty( x^2 +1 )$
jan Niku
yea, this is why you shouldnt sub it in lol
its not important what v is
we can solve $\int 2 v'e^v \dd x$ by u sub
jan Niku
its not dv, its dx
remember that we had $\dv x \qty(ye^v)$ on the rhs
so we want to integrate wrt x to get rid of that derivative
jan Niku
what?
Idk how to dolve tbh
jan Niku
2e^v is integral then
jan Niku
Im already lost but we know this integral is 2e^v
well, what makes you feel lost?
We are jumping all over the place with differentiation u sub and integrations adn I still dunno how are we going to use Q(x)
the idea is that we rewrote the differential equation substantially
we had before $y' + py = 2p$ which you said initially you didnt know how to solve
jan Niku
we got all the way to $\dv x \qty( ye^v ) = 2 \dv x \qty( e^v )$
jan Niku
We multiplied by the integrating factor both sides of the equation aswell
Ohh
we are super close here
the whole trick is like
integrating factor allows to usually rewrite a lot of stuff as derivatives
then, we can just integrate to eliminate the derivatives
sometimes this leaves you an easy integral sometimes it doesnt
here, BOTH sides are derivatives
so our life is pretty easy
Okay
i dont want to throw too many symbols at you
but you could think of how wed solve something like....
jan Niku
its pretty straightforward
wed integrate both sides, and pick up a constant on both
lets group it on the right
jan Niku
we can confirm, does differentiating both sides give us the original differential equation?
jan Niku
what do you think? does that help?
Okay
except that its kind of an example of how close we are
$\dv x \qty( ye^v ) = 2 \dv x \qty( e^v )$
jan Niku
jan Niku
can you solve for y 
i like ... $y = 2 + Ce^{-v}$
jan Niku
no, how would you get that?
Yeah sorry
no worries
I just wanted to ask
Now what?
We find c
yea
which is fine
you have an initial condition
its so long ago i forgot it
was it y(0) = -1?
yea
do you remember $v(x) = \frac 12 \ln \qty( x^2 + 1)$?
jan Niku
so whats $y(0) = 2 + Ce^{-v(0)} = -1$
jan Niku
yea, try going it steps
Y = -1
find v(0)
then plug it in here.
yea, this seems fine
Cant believe we solved this crap
But e^ln
Dammit
this is a lil easier to read
jan Niku
you can simplify this, if you want
yea 
What about the positive set
so heres the thought
well, this is just an algebra problem now
my thought is: for some x, we can make sqrt(x^2+1) pretty big
that will shrink the negative term
and we'll suddenly become positive
if you cant solve it, try looking at a graph
do you need other help with this part of the problem?
The image needs to be positive
jan Niku
i think you made a mistake here
can you spot it?
idk if you followed my babbling earlier but we figured that the equality should be true for large enough x
your inequality suggests small x as a solution though
did the direction get incorrect flipped or not flipped somewhere?
when does an inequality need to be flipped?
no stress
\begin{align*}
0 < 2 - \frac{3}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}
&\to \frac 32 < \sqrt{x^2+1} \
&\to \frac 94 - 1 < x^2
\end{align*}
jan Niku
sorry meant to reply to the image
X^2 + 1 is positive no matter what
$x > \frac{\sqrt 5 }{ 2 }$
jan Niku
True
were missing some
jan Niku
,, \pm
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
Mmm
so actually $|x| > \frac{\sqrt 5}{ 2}$
jan Niku
,w plot 2 - 3 / ( sqrt(x^2+1 ) ) from x=-3 to x=3
seems about right, this function looks like itd be symmetric about 0
So confusing
so if we find some solutions off to the right, we should probably pick some up on the left, too
what a fun problem 
the only thing its missing is partial fractions
well, its good for review
it hit a lot of things that people tend to struggle with
I.F?
yea
and just general like
you know integration and differentiation
especially when we just have letters and not nice looking functions
using FTC a bit
solving inequalities without losing solutions
or making mistakes
Okay
any remaining questions?
No and thank you for thr help, gonna go relax right now, thanks
we didnt even do this 
so you could do some review of the whole process since it was kind of long
and if you feel up to it, maybe see what happens
thanks for sticking with me 
i mean, there were a lot of details
so maybe you lost the big-picture somewhere in there
reading over it a few times now that you know a lot of the answers might help
or, you know, you do you
maybe you just move on
Im gonna review the integrating factor method tbh it caught me off guard
the wolfram site i linked is pretty concise
I was feeling naked when tackling the problem
integrating factor is like ... a trick
either you know it or, you mess around a lot, and maybe if you are lucky you figure out the trick for yourself
so its reasonable to not know it or forget it
