I tried a substitution, but no luck.

sharp vigil
#

note that you can integrate in either order

sudden zinc
#

yes

#

will it help to start with y?

#

I thought it wouldnt

hard kite
#

then x will be treated as a constant

sudden zinc
#

nice, helped

steady steppe
#

can someone help me with calculation of eigenvector? I'm supposed to do it by hand and 227.519 is only approximation of my eigenvalue because exact form looks horrendous.

steady steppe
#

what next steps do you recommend me?

warm current
#

Yikes those are some ugly numbers. Who hates you this much?

steady steppe
#

professor of computer graphics, arguably the worst person at uni

limber oasis
#

by hand? Computer graphics?

steady steppe
#

actually this is bonus task

#

i want those bonus points, because im note sure by other tasks

#

guys, do you have any ideas how to process further?

limber oasis
steady steppe
#

it invertible because the 227.519 is approximation of eigenvalue

#

i think

crisp tendon
#

u sure ur eigenvalue is 227.519?

limber oasis
steady steppe
crisp tendon
limber oasis
#

yeah this is peak cubic formula gone wrong material

steady steppe
limber oasis
#

very specifically this matrix by hand?

steady steppe
#

unforrtunately

limber oasis
#

well, f*ck you then

#

best of luck with your endeavors, it appears I'm not able to help further

steady steppe
#

thanks, its awful, every student has different matrix based on birthday

limber oasis
#

oh

#

did you consider being born on another day?

limber oasis
#

or, do you happen to be more than 23 in class?

crisp tendon
#

this professor is just messing around

limber oasis
#

yeah unless he was very careful this might lead to untractable computations very easily

crisp tendon
#

anyway he said one eigenvector or the whole subspace?

steady steppe
crisp tendon
limber oasis
#

it's likely

steady steppe
steady steppe
limber oasis
#
  1. find someone who has
  2. change your bday to theirs
steady steppe

#

I don’t get it

#

Ik that

#

First

#

I need to multiply the ()() thingies together

spare lark
#

Yes

stone imp
#

But the multiplication is confusing idk how to do it

#

Okay so

#

First

#

X times 2y

#

That’s 2xy right

spare lark
#

Yes

stone imp
#

Then I need to multiply x with 1/3

#

How do I do that

hard kite
#

multiplying by 1/3 is the same as dividing by 3

#

but you could just leave 1/3 as the coefficient

#

like just (1/3)x

stone imp
#

Huh

hard kite
#

there are many ways of writing it

stone imp
#

How do I write that in the ()

spare lark
#

$\frac{1}{3}x$

jolly parrotBOT
#

YakuBros

stone imp
stone imp
spare lark
#

With a plus infront

stone imp
#

And the -(y/3) times 2y is -(y/3)2y

hard kite
stone imp
#

How

hard kite
#

you have two y's multiplying

#

you get y²

stone imp
#

HOW

#

IM SO LOST

hard kite
#

um

#

let's say you had $x \cdot x$, how would you simplify this

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

Ik but

#

How does

#

-y/3 times 2y become that

hard kite
#

it's a product, so you can move terms around and it doesn't change it

#

$\frac{-y}{3} \cdot 2y$ is the same as $\frac{-y \cdot 2y}{3}$ which is the same as $\frac{-2 \cdot y \cdot y}{3}$ and you have two y's there so it becomes y² like this $\frac{-2y^2}{3}$

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

OHHHHH

#

I thought

#

You meant

#

The 3 disappeared

hard kite
#

noo

stone imp
#

Okay so

#

Is this right

#

So far

hard kite
#

yes

stone imp
#

Okay now I multiply -y/3 and +1/3

hard kite
#

yeah

stone imp
#

So -(y/3)

hard kite
#

noo

stone imp
#

Whyyyy

hard kite
#

you have to multiply the 3's

#

you would get 9

#

on the denominator

stone imp
#

Huuuh

#

Ohh

#

So

#

Y/9

hard kite
#

but with the negative sign

stone imp
#

Okay

#

Now

#

How do I

#

Shorten this

hard kite
#

distribute the 3

stone imp
#

How

hard kite
stone imp
#

Ohhh

#

Okay wait

#

When I multiply

#

The three

#

Info the / thingies

#

Do I do it with the top and bottom

#

Or only tip

#

Top

hard kite
#

only the top and keep the bottom

stone imp
#

Okay wait

#

Okay did I do it right

hard kite
#

almost

stone imp
#

It’s the last part right

#

It’s 2y

hard kite
#

the 3 and the 9 don't cancel each other completly

stone imp
#

Wdym

hard kite
#

$\frac{3}{9}$ can be reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

so you still have a 3 below the y

stone imp
#

Ohhhh

#

But

#

It’s in a /

#

Can it be that

hard kite
#

wym

#

it would be $-\frac{y}{3}$

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

Okay what’s the next step

#

I can’t put anything together

hard kite
#

there's not much to do now

stone imp
#

So it’s done

hard kite
#

the question was asking to distribute and simplify right?

stone imp
#

Exactly

hard kite
#

yeah it's done

stone imp
#

I have a strong feeling Thai will be wrong everytime it’s long it’s wrong

#

I’m gonna try

#

Wait

#

Yeah if was wrong

#

Do you want me to show u the whole calculation

#

If we did it wrong somewhere

hard kite
#

yeah

stone imp
hard kite
#

well looks right to me

#

u sure you typed it correctly?

stone imp
#

Is it wrong

hard kite
#

yes it's wrong

stone imp
#

Omg

#

I accidentally put an x

#

Help

#

Yaya now it’s rgbt

#

Right

hard kite
stone imp
#

My fault 😭

hard kite
stone imp
#

I’m gonna try to do the next one myself but it looks harder

hard kite
#

good luck!

stone imp
#

Thank uuuu

stone imp
#

This doesn’t feel right

hard kite
#

let me see

#

where did you get the x³ ?

#

i don't see it on the original question

stone imp
#

Ou

#

Now I’m lost

#

Where tf did I get that form

hard kite
stone imp
#

X/2 times x/2

#

OH

#

IF WAS

#

THE numbers from the question above

#

Went l to it

#

And I for confused

#

Got

#

Is this right

hard kite
#

let me see

#

yeah but you need to divide everything by 2

stone imp
#

Do I need to put -y^2 over a 2

hard kite
#

every term, it's like you're distributing the division of 2 to each of them

stone imp
#

What about x^2/4

#

How do I make the down part 2

#

I can’t divide x^2 by 2

hard kite
#

$\frac{\bigl(\frac{3}{4}\bigr)}{2}$

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

Oh man

hard kite
#

how would you simplify this fraction

#

that's not the answer btw

stone imp
#

I don’t kno…

hard kite
#

the 2 joins the denominator, so you have $\frac{3}{4 \cdot 2}$

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

But then it becomes 8

#

That’s not 2

hard kite
#

$\frac{\bigl(\frac{3}{4}\bigr)}{2} = \frac{3}{4 \cdot 2} = \frac{3}{8}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

the 2 joins the 4

#

making 8

stone imp
#

How did the x^2 become 3

hard kite
#

no, this is just an example

stone imp
#

Ohh

hard kite
#

then you apply the same logic to the other problem

stone imp
#

So it becomes x^2/8

hard kite
#

yes

#

but negative

stone imp
#

Is this right

#

Btw it’s a two over the x and the 2y

#

It got a bit messy

hard kite
stone imp
#

Whyyyy

hard kite
#

you have to to it with every term, and then the 2 is gone

#

let me write this

stone imp
#

Okayyy

hard kite
#

$\frac{\frac{xy}{2} - \frac{x^2}{4} - y^2 + \frac{xy}{2}}{2}$ becomes $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(\frac{x^2}{4}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(y^2\bigr)}{2} \frac{\bigl(\frac{}{}\bigr)}{2}

jolly parrotBOT
#

kaue

$\frac{\frac{xy}{2} - \frac{x^2}{4} - y^2 + \frac{xy}{2}}{2}$ becomes $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(\frac{x^2}{4}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(y^2\bigr)}{2} \frac{\bigl(\frac{}{}\bigr)}{2}

Okayyyy

hard kite

$\frac{\frac{xy}{2} - \frac{x^2}{4} - y^2 + \frac{xy}{2}}{2}$ becomes $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(\frac{x^2}{4}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(y^2\bigr)}{2} \frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$

#

uff

stone imp

Huuuh

versed mica
hard kite
#

$\frac{\frac{xy}{2} - \frac{x^2}{4} - y^2 + \frac{xy}{2}}{2}$ becomes $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(\frac{x^2}{4}\bigr)}{2} - \frac{\bigl(y^2\bigr)}{2} + \frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

there you go

#

then you simplify each term

stone imp
#

Huh

#

Why didn’t it become 2y^2

hard kite
stone imp
#

Third part

hard kite
#

youre dividing by 2 not multiplying remeber

stone imp
#

But it didn’t have anything under it

#

And then we made it two

#

Doesn’t it mean

#

It becomes two

hard kite
#

i think you're confusing it with multiplying by 2

stone imp
#

And didn’t the four become 8

hard kite
#

it will

#

after you simplify the terms

#

they still need to be simplified

stone imp
#

How

hard kite
#

just like that one example i said with the 3

#

the 2 joins the denominator

stone imp
#

I’m so confused

hard kite
#

let's go one term at a time

stone imp
#

Okay

hard kite
#

so the first one is $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

hold on

#

do you understand why we have $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$?

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

like how we got it

stone imp
#

Yes cause it’s all divided by 2

#

Yes

hard kite
#

yeah ok, so let's try to simplify this

#

you see the denominator is 2, and then there's another 2

stone imp
#

Yes

hard kite
#

$\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$ becomes $\frac{xy}{2 \cdot 2}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

because the 2 joins the other on the denominator

stone imp
#

But why

#

Isn’t it supposed to be divided

#

Why is it multiplied

hard kite
#

let me try to explain

#

do you know how we can multiply top and bottom by the same number and it doesnt change the fraction?

#

like if we have 1/2 we multiply top and bottom by 3 we get 3/6

#

and it's still the same as 1/2

stone imp
#

Yeah

#

I know that but

#

It’s all divided by 2

#

And not multiplied

hard kite
#

take $\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2}\bigr)}{2}$ and multiply top and bottom by the number 2

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

you would get

#

$\frac{\bigl(\frac{xy}{2} \cdot 2\bigr)}{2 \cdot 2}$

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

right

stone imp
#

Aaaaa I still don’t get why were multiplying in the 2

hard kite
#

wait

#

and then do you see how we could simplify the top part?

stone imp
#

Where

hard kite
stone imp
#

Yeah and now im lost

hard kite
#

so after simplifying that it just becomes $\frac{\bigl(xy\bigr)}{2 \cdot 2}$, which is what we had when joined the 2 on the denominator

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
stone imp
#

But why is the 2 going inside

hard kite
#

maybe other way

#

do you know about dividing fractions?

stone imp
#

Wdym

#

Give an example

hard kite
#

like $\frac{2}{3}$ divided by $\frac{4}{5}$

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

Nope

#

Never done that before

#

Wait

#

Wait

#

Isn’t it the

#

Keep switch flip method

hard kite
#

yeaa

stone imp
#

But how did it go into that

#

Like

#

My question

#

OH

#

OHHHHHH

#

I GET IT

hard kite
#

yay

stone imp
#

so

#

Wait

#

This is so long

#

The 2 stays the same

#

Isn’t it supposed to flip

#

Like

#

2/1–> 1/2

hard kite
#

yess

stone imp
#

So wait

#

One sec

#

I’m gonna write this

#

Woops

#

Theres supposed to be a four

#

There

hard kite
#

don't forget the parenthessi

stone imp
#

Wait I fix

stone imp
hard kite
#

1/2 is multiplying the whole expression

stone imp
#

OHHHH

#

SO RHUS

hard kite
#

like 1/2 × a + b + c should be written a s 1/2 × (a + b + c)

stone imp
hard kite
#

yess

stone imp
#

And now I need to multiply

#

In the

#

1/2

hard kite
#

yeah distribute it

hard kite
pulsar lark
#

,rotate

jolly parrotBOT
stone imp
#

Is this right

pulsar lark
#

,rotate

jolly parrotBOT
pulsar lark
#

Y

#

Yes

hard kite
#

now combine similar terms

stone imp
#

The xy

hard kite
#

yes

stone imp
#

Can I do more

hard kite
#

those are the only similar terms

stone imp
#

So this should be the answer

hard kite
#

after you combine xy yeah

#

after you combine xy yeah

stone imp
hard kite
#

you can simplify 2/4

stone imp
#

Ohhh

#

Xy/2

hard kite
#

yes

stone imp
#

It was wrong…

#

Did I write it wrong again

versed mica
#

what language is that

stone imp
#

Swedish

hard kite
#

,w expand (x/2 - y)(y - x/2)/2

hard kite
#

got it

stone imp
#

I don’t understand

hard kite
#

it was just -y² there

#

no /2

stone imp
#

Yeah and then we put a 2 under it

#

I wasn’t supposed to do that was I..

hard kite
#

no the two comes after hou multiply by 1/2

pulsar lark
#

,rotate

jolly parrotBOT
hard kite
#

you havent multiplied by 1/2 in that step yet

stone imp
#

So what did I do wrong

#

How to fix

hard kite
#

remember

stone imp
#

So I just keep the -y^2

hard kite
#

you wrote -y²/2 instead of -y² before multiplying by 1/2

stone imp
#

Uhhh

#

I don’t understand

hard kite
#

basically you multiplied by 1/2 twice

hard kite
stone imp
#

Dammit

hard kite
#

you multiplied the brackets

stone imp
#

Okay

hard kite
#

and now you divide by 2 (which is multiply by 1/2)

stone imp
#

Okayyyy wait

#

Ignore the top

#

Look Only under the line

#

Is it right

hard kite
#

yeah, now again combine the xy similar terms

stone imp
#

It’s right

#

I tried it

#

That was impulsive

#

If it was wrong the question would’ve been marked red

hard kite
stone imp
#

Yes

#

I did

#

If was

#

Xy/2

hard kite
#

yay

stone imp
#

Thank uuuuu🤗

So I totally forgot what factorise was

#

This embarrassing

autumn narwhal
#

For example:

#

2x + 4 = 2(x + 2)

#

It's just using the distributive law

#

a(b + c) = ab + ac

#

Same thing for the other side:

#

(b + c)a = ba + ca

#

a, b, c can be anything

stone imp
#

Huh so

#

Wait

#

Give example how do I solve the first one

ionic cobalt
#

You can take out a number that is a multiple of both the coeficcients

#

So for example,

#

Since 3 is a factor of both 6 and 9

#

it would become 3(2x+3)

stone imp
#

Wait I’ll try

#

Ohhhhh

#

I get it now

ionic cobalt
#

Got it?😊

Yes thanks 🙏

lusty hill

I wanted help on how to start this question

lusty hill
#

My trail of ideas for this:
first the cup itself is always parallel to the tangent line at a point it's on, so that means that it is parallel to g'(x), and so would that imply that the slope itself of the water spilling = g'(x)

the larger |g'(x)| the larger the magnitude of the rate of change of the volume of the cup gets and so there is a positive correlation between the two. So then the crux of this question is to find the relation btwn g'(x) and the ROC of volume of the water.

the volume of water = h(w^2) and that can be written as 2w^3. But it's at this point i get stuck. I was thinking maybe since the width of the cup is parallel to g'(x) we can sub it into that but I don't know if that makes sense
i'm trying to think of it as a related rates problem and idk if that is the right approach and there are other concepts connected to it

Edmund Cloudsley (Hello CHAT)

midnight haven

,w evaluate -7 * 3 + -3 * 2

jolly parrotBOT
midnight haven
#

however this doesn't become -15

#

it evaluates to -27

#

Would really appreciate if someone can tell me where I am going wrong

#

btw feel free to ping me

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

Oh I see my error now

#

vector PQ should be <10 - 7, 1 - 3> = <3, -2>

cheers mate thanks

Hi !

#

I wanted to know how to find the square time 6 of -27 ?

#

I did this for now but i'm super confused ,-,

#

should I convert -27 to 27e^(ipi) ?

#

since r is a positive number ?

junior vapor
#

hello how do you do part c

pearl pondBOT
tender gate
#

AHHHH

#

scared me

#

ok

#

lets do it

#

you can simplify the expression by factoring 2 from cos(2pi/5) and cos(pi/5)

junior vapor
#

hm? like turn the expression into 2(cos2pi/5-cospi/5+1/2)=0?

tender gate
#

yeah you can do that

junior vapor
#

okk where do i go from there

#

it looks somewhat similar to part b but idk what to do with that information :/

I'm scared

#

@help

junior vapor
ashen needle
#

Brev

#

See that 2cos (2pi/5)

#

U can use that thing idk it's name in english so it becomes 2(2cos^2 (pi/5) - 1)

junior vapor
#

how does that turn it into exact values though?

ashen needle
#

Can you use a calculator ?

#

But idk to be honest

#

That's the only thing that got in my mind

junior vapor
junior vapor
ashen needle
#

I'll ask my teacher

junior vapor
#

alright thanks

dusty jungle
#

once you have deduced that 2cos2pi/5 - 2cospi/5 + 1 = 0

#

u can use the double angle formula for cos pi/5

#

and turn the equation into a quadratic in terms of cos pi/5

#

so if u find the roots

#

u can find the exact value of cos pi/5 and cos 2pi/5

pearl pondBOT
#

@junior vapor Has your question been resolved?

# junior vapor hello how do you do part c

i havent touched 4U in 3 years but if i remember correctly you have to expand part b but selecctively expand the terms that result in z^3
then u match the z^3 term on the LHS with the z^3 term on the RHS

how many possible cases is there for black to move the king from a4 to h4? is it possible to solve this one using combinatorics or binomial theorem?

what moves are you allowed to do

if you are allowed to go backwards then clearly there are infinitely many options

There will be only 7 moves. All forward

oh i get it, so we have 3 choices to go after every move, while in pascal we can have 2

#

how can I proceed after this?

pearl pondBOT
#

@unreal thistle Has your question been resolved?

blissful salmon
# dapper kraken something like this should work

Yes, this is the correct idea. The idea that they use here is called dynamic programming, where you write the number of ways to reach a square in terms of previous squares. You can do this because you are only allowed 7 moves, so they all must be forward, hence you can write the number of ways for each square within the red boundary as illustrated

consider two subintervals

and try to apply ivt

for that you consider

Does this use of double arrows <=> mean iff, in this context, or something else?

fervent galleon
#

When I read it as "iff", kinda doesn't seem right to me.

yea you are right

#

"x^2" or "+-sqrt(x)" are no statements

Probably

#

Inverse

fervent galleon

I think that I intuitevly understand what the author mean, but I just wondered if that use of double arrow is standard use.

autumn fossil
#

I dont like that use

#

it looks like it just stands for a hyphen here

#

it literally just matches the function to its inverse

fervent galleon

yeah, I think maybe its just a like a graphics for arrows pointing both ways, without the "iff" implication.

spring crystal
#

What do I do now

pearl pondBOT
spring crystal
#

<@&286206848099549185>

hallow ice
spring crystal
#

i did the ratio test and got this

hallow ice
#

the denominator you got is 2nln(n+1)

I think it should be 2ln(n+1) instead

spring crystal
#

actually it should jsut be 2

hallow ice
#

yes

spring crystal
#

so what do i do afterwards

hallow ice
#

okay, so if we agree that it should be

$\frac{(x-2)\ln(n)}{2\ln(n+1)}$

what does the ratio test tell you?

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

n goes inf?

#

do i plug in infintie for n now

hallow ice
#

yes, you should check what the limit of the above is as n goes to infinity

spring crystal
#

so it becomes (x-2) times inf/ inf?

hallow ice
#

not quite. have you seen this situation before where you see inf/inf when taking a limit?

spring crystal
#

no

#

thats why idk

hallow ice
#

okay, so you'll need to use other methods to figure out what the limit actually

let's just focus on working out the limit $\lim_{n\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{ln(n)}{ln(n+1)}$ for now

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

hallow ice
#

could you use log rules to make this expression simpler?

spring crystal
#

ln(n)-ln(n+1)

#

inf-inf

#

?

hallow ice
#

that's not right

#

here's a hint: you can write $ln(n)=ln((n+1)\frac{n}{n+1})$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

how

hallow ice
#

because $n=(n+1)\frac{n}{n+1}$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

hallow ice
#

i just multiplied and divided by the same number

spring crystal
#

so what am i suppose to do with that

hallow ice
#

use log rules to simplify $\frac{ln(n)}{ln(n+1)}=\frac{ln((n+1)\frac{n}{n+1})}{ln(n+1)}$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

hallow ice
#

i.e i've done the first step, you need to do the rest

spring crystal
#

idk ive never even seen this

hallow ice
#

you know log rules, though. If you've never seen limits of the form inf/inf then I'm not sure how else to do it other than by manipulating the expression to be easier to work with

well, have you maybe seen limits of the form $\frac{0}{0}$?

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

yeah i know to solve that with l hopital

hallow ice
#

ah okay so inf/inf is the same

#

the reason is that you can rewrite a inf/inf limit to be a 0/0 limit.

either way you can use L'Hopital

spring crystal
#

so i l hopital the whole thing

#

including the x-2?/2

hallow ice
#

yes, that's fine; that's a constant anyway

spring crystal
hallow ice
#

what variable are you differentiating with respect to when using L'Hopital?

spring crystal
#

Also does the n=2 in the sigma matter. Cus the ones I did before were n=0

hallow ice
# spring crystal Ok so it becomes n+1/ n?

if you're just talking about $\lim_{n\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{ln(n)}{ln(n+1)}$ then yes, doing L'Hoptials would mean this is the same as $\lim_{n\rightarrow{\infty}}\frac{n+1}{n}$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

That’s what I did

hallow ice
hallow ice
spring crystal
#

I have (x-2)/2 times n+1 /n rn

#

Is that right

hallow ice
#

yes

#

that's correct

spring crystal
#

So n+1 becomes infinite?

#

(X-2)/2 times inf

hallow ice
#

well $\frac{n+1}{n}$ doesn't tend to $\infty$.

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

hallow ice
#

remember the $n$ becomes $\infty$ too

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

?

#

(X-2)/2 now

hallow ice
#

yes. you can get that either by simplifying the fraction or doing L'Hopital again

#

yes

spring crystal
#

Ok so the IOC is (0,4) I got 0<x<4) and ROC is Is x-2<1 which makes it 3?

#

Ioc =(0,4) and ROC=3

#

@hallow ice

hallow ice
#

I agree with the interval of convergence (although did you check if it is the closed or open interval). Radius I'm not sure is correct

#

where did you get $x-2<1$ from?

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

Well i remember YouTube video said whatever is being raised to n power make it <1 and that’s radius

#

And (x-2)^n x-2 is raised to n

hallow ice
#

two things:

  1. there's something else being raised to the power of 2
  2. if you were just going off that, what was the point in doing the ratio test? in fact the ratio test gave you the quantity you need to bound above by 1
hallow ice
spring crystal
#

So how do I find the radius

hallow ice
#

let's just go off the working we've actually done

what does the ratio test tell you?

spring crystal
#

If less than 1 it converge

hallow ice
#

yes. if what is less than 1?

spring crystal
#

The whole thing

#

After ratio teat

hallow ice
#

which is what in this case?

spring crystal
#

X-2/ 2

hallow ice
#

yes (but remember the ratio test asks for absolute values)

spring crystal
#

Ok but it is positive so it doesn’t need it

hallow ice
#

is it positive? what if x=0?

spring crystal
#

Ok so |x-2/2|

hallow ice
#

yes (also better to use parantheses). That needs to <1.

$\frac{|x-2|}{2}<1$

can you use that equation to find the radius of convergence?

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

hallow ice
#

how did you get that?

recall the definition of the radius of convergence:

for a series

$\sum_{n} a_n(x-a)^n$

The radius of convergence $r$ is the number such that the series converges for

$|x-a|<r$

and diverges for

$|x-a|>r$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

Am I not suppose to get x by itself

hallow ice
hallow ice
spring crystal
#

So does that not work for all problems or what

hallow ice
#

so he's saying

you're looking for the thing being raised to the power of n in the series (in his case x, in yours x-2)

and the radius of convergence is the thing that bounds |thing being raised to the n| above after doing the ratio test

spring crystal
#

So x-2<1?

hallow ice
#

... no, the inequality we found from the ratio test was

$\frac{|x-2|}{2}<1$

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

Oh so it is just 2

#

For the roc

hallow ice
#

you want to find the $r$ such that $|x-2|<r$ ensures the series converges

#

yes

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
#

Ok so ROC IS 2 and IOC IS (0,4) not checked yet

hallow ice
#

yes, although double check if 0 and 4 are included in the interval or not

spring crystal
#

And parenthesis

hallow ice
#

$[a,b]$ means all numbers including all $a$ and $b$

$(a,b)$ means all numbers greater than $a$ and less than $b$

$[a,b)$ all numbers greater than $a$, and $a$ itself, and all numbers less than $b$

to check $0$ and $4$ are included, trying inserting $x=0$ or $x=4$ and checking if the resulting series converges or not

#

if it converges, then that means that number is part of the IOC

jolly parrotBOT
#

LayneTheAndroid

spring crystal
hallow ice
#

no, the ratio test doesn't work for the end points of the IOC, you need to check the series yourself using other methods

i have an exam tomorrow, and ive missed almost all my classes recently bc of lung infections and dengue, almost died, but im having trouble completely understanding binomial expansions. We only have three formulas, which are the nCr formula, the factorial expansion formula, same expansion with nCr formula, and the (1+x)^n formula. can someone give me a breakdown and teach me to do them with examples? thanks

shadow geyser
#

i can send the formulas if you want

little sundial
#

this right

shadow geyser
#

the first two contain the formulas and the last page has the sums im confused about

little sundial
#

oh

shadow geyser
#

i need one or two examples if possible

#

and he also gave us a different fprmula for nCr, one sec

#

sec* lmao

shadow geyser
#

i do get how the factorial formula turns into an nCr expansion but the problem is mostly in how we do the problems and how to work it out, and also how to find the range of values of x for which an expansion is valid

#

p sure theres a formula for that right

#

x mod is less than the root of the term/coefficient of x inside the bracket right?

little sundial
#

i dont have time to explain all this rn bc itll take a hottt minute but i wish u the best of luck and there are always lectures online too

sweet briar
#

I need some help with this question. How can i tell from a derivative of a graph, where the original graph is inc/dec?

exotic scaffold
#

the derivative of the function at a point gives the slope of that function at that point

sweet briar
#

so between -1 and 0, the value of the derivative is positive, which means if the slope is positive, the function is increasing?

exotic scaffold
#

yes

#

there are also 2 more intervals on which the derivative is positive so include that in your final answer

sweet briar
exotic scaffold
#

yes

the graph is f`

Keep trying kekw

Discrete Math

#

specfically graph theroy

feral sedge
#

hint: there are two vertices here with two neighbors, those neighbors are also connected directly

#

You can basically ignore those and add them back at the end

frail oxide
#

So I can just treat it like this?

unborn abyss
frail oxide
unborn abyss
#

wdym move the edges

#

you can move the vertices around

frail oxide
#

but I thought to find if something is planar the vertexs have to context without the edges crossing

unborn abyss
#

correct

frail oxide
#

so how does just moving the vertexs help

unborn abyss
#

uhm

frail oxide
#

Never mind

unborn abyss
#

this graph is planar

frail oxide
#

I just flipped A over and found it. ty

are you ready for my questions

slate crystal
#

just ask them

pearl pondBOT
#

No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/

#

Insane that you still haven't posted your question

#

I will be closing the channel in 5 mins

#

As you have occupied this channel for half an hour without posting a question

timid sable
#

I'm sorry

#

yeah, the question here is to derivate this.

#

Do you wanna see my method?

#

logarithm method, as you can see.

#

Well, the thing is that I got that monstrosity there at the end.

#

and, well, I don't think that's the answer. =(

#

what do you guys think about this.

timid sable

Okay, thank you very much.

slate crystal
timid sable
slate crystal
timid sable
#

why is it correct

slate crystal
#

u were left with f'(t)/f(t) right?? after finding the derivative of everything on the right side of the equation

timid sable
#

Yeah.

slate crystal
#

so what did u do with the f(t) to isolate f'(t) by itself?

timid sable
slate crystal
#

and in this case

#

f(t) is just original equation

surreal relic
#

@timid sable you still have a doubt?

timid sable
surreal relic

I am not sure what is wrong here

vital estuary
#

the step where you subtract 1.5x from both sides

#

just a tip for next time: you should expect the answer to be wrong if you get a fractional amount of people and you should check your work before submitting

vital estuary
#

you simply need to combine like terms for the x part

opal urchin
#

2.5

vital estuary
#

-2.5x on the left
