Specifically my dilemma is this
[
4\pi\int_{-r^{2}}^{-r^{2}}u\sqrt{r^{2}-u^{2}}du+4\pi R\int_{-r}^{r}\sqrt{r^{2}-u^{2}}dx
]
May have done my math wrong because even desmos is giving me an undefined volume
The left term actually just cancels out to zero
whoops nevermind just forgot to make it $du$ not $dx$
Tim
so there is a legitimate volume I just need to figure how to solve this expression
[
4\pi R\int_{-r}^{r}\sqrt{r^{2}-u^{2}}du
]
Tim
Ended up looking for the answer online but this is such a cheap way at bending the rules?? What is the proper way to integrate this expression
@heady sigil Has your question been resolved?
Which part do you think is "cheating" exactly
@heady sigil Has your question been resolved?
Where they decide that $\int_{-r}^{r}\sqrt{r^{2}-u^{2}}du$ essentially represents the area of a semi-circle and just convert it into $\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$
Tim
I'm unsure how to use u sub to integrate this since I only just finished calc 1 but there has to be a way to properly integrate all the way through to eventually get 4pi^2Rr^2 right?

I dont really know how to prove something seemingly obvious like this. Like i say let $\alpha$ be given. Then $\alpha+\beta=0\implies \beta=-\alpha$. And we know that $-\alpha$ exists its just reflecting the number $\alpha$ across the real and imaginary axis
Luca M
How can I write a formal proof for something like this though
Like how would I show formally that it is unique also
You need to prove two things here.
That the inverse exists and that it's unique.
If you take a general complex number x+iy, and you find it's additive inverse?
-x-iy
Ok, and you can probably show under the scheme of complex numbers that this indeed constitutes an inverse by just adding them
That's sufficient for existence.
Now assume that you have two of them, so a+b = 0 and a+c = 0.
Can you show that b=c?
Can i say $a+b=0\implies a=-b$ and $a+c=0\implies a=-c$. Then we can say $-b=-c\implies b=c$ so $\beta$ must be unique
Luca M
I think that should do the trick,

I just started on trigonometry, and something that I'm curious about is what the functions sin cos and tan actually do, and are useful for. I understand that we can find the opposite length of the triangle by doing:
tan = opposite/adjacent
adjacent * tan = opposite
So my first question that arises when doing this is why will this always work with only using the right side's 40 degree angle? Additionally, my second question is what really the tangent returns? For example if we were to get the tangent of this triangle we would end up with tan(8.39cm/10cm) = 0.839 which essentially just returns a constant. Do we only really use these 3 functions to find other angles/lengths, and not really look at the constants yet?
@torn sky Has your question been resolved?
@torn sky Has your question been resolved?
I can rephrase if wished for
yep do that
So maybe to start off a bit easier, if we wanted to calculate the angles, this is how we would use these functions, correct? That if I wanted to calculate corner C i'd need to use sinus, while in corner B I'd need to use cosinus?
to calculate angle C, you'd need two sides
sine(some angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
there are many such angle that work due to the periodicity of sine
but since we're dealing with an euclidean triangle
we want the non right-angles to sum up to 90
in which case, we can find the only unique angle that works
why can you written sin^(-1) and so on for the other things
because is that not how we find the angles?
u wouldn't write that out there though
so i would suggest you to remove it altogether for now
My point more with having those functions there, is if that's how you use them. As in if I wanted corner B i'd need to use cosinus, and not tangent, correct?
for b cosine,tangent and sine all work
in that case, why would you only assign C with sin^(-1)
u can use any trig functions u like
even csc, cot, and/or sec
So that kind of more answers my first question, no corner is bound to a single function, you can use whatever function we'd like to use?
if the "ratios" are present then sure?
it's the fact that we now have access
to all three sides of the triangle
so we have the liberty to use any trig functions to compute any of our angles
have u used the unit circle prior? generally that's how one starts to define these elementary trig functions
Lol sure i guess
So if I now were to calculate corner C, I would do
6.1cm/10.2cm = 0.598
With that I'd proceed to do sin^(-1)(0.598) = 36.7 degrees for corner C
no
this "legend" is wrong
this is from the lense of b
from C the opposite side is AB
not AC anymore
Does the 90 degree corner have to be on the right side, like so?
meh yeah
the only one that looks like a right angle
is the bottom right angle
u can label it however u like
nobody's stopping u from labeling the top right angle as the 90 degree either
but generally you want your geometric figures to be somewhat representative of the actual situation
yeah so you can imagine that sin(..) is a function that returns the ratio of the opposite/hypotenuse, for now
so sin(A) = 6.1/10.2
u know the output cuz ^
do you know inverse functions?
I believe so, but where I live I'm pretty sure that ^-1 are the inverse functions
so you know that if f and g are inverse then:
f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x?
yeah
didnt go deep into it, but in short yes
hmmm
for now you can live with this yeah
Because if I use sin^-1(0.598) I get 36.7 degrees, which is correct according to the book
i mean there are more subtleties to this
but yes for all right triangle problems
this checks out
so yes that's what you'd do
Alright, so updated again
no need for the "key" in between
it doesn't service much purpose if u have to make one for each angle
the key?
wdym
since you can easily spot the hypotenuse, you can easily find the adjacent by looking down so then the opposit must be the side that's left
i mean the opposite side is always easy to spot
it's quite literally the opposite side
the hypotenuse is the longest side opposite to the 90 degree
(you would've learnt this in a geometry class)
and yeah
largest angle -> longest side
So once that's done, what would be the last step to find corner A?
My idea would be to find AB and then use cosinus to find the remaining corner
corner A?
u found angle C
the angle of corner A
thus you found angle A for free
from geometry, you know that the angles in a triangle sum to 180
I know that, but if I were to do this using the functions
u can use anything from the lense of A yeah
any trig function
that's bc you have AB too (from pythag; geometry again)
so you can use tan, cos, sin, sec, csc, or cot
but sure if youw ant to use sin, what do you think you should do?
So my idea here was to use cosinus just for experimental reasons.
What I did was to find AB using b = sqrt(c^2-a^2) = sqrt(10.2^2 - 6.1^2) = 8.175
Then I tried to find the cosinus using 8.175/10.2 = 0.8014
Now the interesting part comes where I dont understand why and what's happening.
If I use sin^-1(0.8014) the correct answer comes out, also 53.3 degrees, but if I were to use cos^-1(0.8014) the wrong answer comes out, also 36.7 degrees
,calc sqrt(10.2^2 - 6.1^2)
Result:
8.1749617736109
,calc acos((sqrt(10.2^2 - 6.1^2))/10.2) * 180/pi
Result:
36.729595509416
why do you say is wrong?
quick sanity check
AB > BC
so angle C > angle A
53.3 is correct (using sin^-1), but 36.7 is wrong (using cos^-1)
I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here 😅
I understand that AB is greater than BC
i'm trying to tell you that your angle C is wrong
if C is 36.7
then A = 90 - 36.7 which is clearly greater than 36.7
so you're admitting that CB > AB
which is false
as you can see
You're fully correct, the book made a mistake with placing the first letters
Let me quickly calculate it again
I think I now understand what you meant with that the "legend" is useless
It would work different each time you calculate a different angle, not?
yes
Yeah okay, that makes perfect sense now
it's opposite and adjacent relative to an angle
it's not fixed
like if u were facing me then your left is my right and vice versa
As I didnt understand why they also used 6.1/10.2 to find corner C, but once you 'rotate' the triangle you'll see that the values have switched
I think using the legend works a bit better for me now since I'm only just now starting, but I think I'll kind of visualize it instead of writing down as I just now found out it can change depending what angle we're trying to get
Well that took a bit heh, thanks for the help, and your patience ❤️

\textbf{Problem 5.} Decide the validity of the following statements.
-
If $(a_n){n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a real sequence and $L \in \mathbb{R}$, then $\lim{n \to \infty} a_n = L$ holds if and only if $\lim_{n \to \infty} (a_n - L)^2 = 0$.
-
If $f, h$ are continuous functions on $\mathbb{R}$, and $g$ is defined on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x) \leq g(x) \leq h(x)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, then $g$ is also continuous on $\mathbb{R}$.
-
If $f, g$ are differentiable functions on $\mathbb{R}$, and $a, L \in \mathbb{R}$, then $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)} = L$ implies $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = L$.
-
If $f$ is a function defined on an open interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ and there does not exist a primitive function of $f$ on $I$, then $f$ is not continuous on $I$.
-
If $\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n| < \infty$ and $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n \sqrt{n}$ exists, then $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n \sqrt{n} = 0$.
Slowaq
but then this series is not absolutely convergingn is it?
It's divergent
yes and it has to converge
Oh I didn't see !!
notice the first condition
Doesn't every continuous fn has a primitive?
well yes but i suppose there exist functions thats not continous but has primitive function
sign x should have primitive function
It doesn't ig !
There was a theorem regarding this !
,w int sgn x dx
I mean the function and primitive aren't defined at the same point !
The question reads, "f is defined in an open interval"
hm alright so then the statement is true?
is there some more rigorous explanation to this rather than the fact that we could not find a function which satisfies these conditions?
Yeahh
Nah there was a theorem related to this !
i only know about one which says that if the function is continous at some open interval then it has primitive function there
but my statement has reversed implication
wait its the same
ffs im done with this bs 
i give up on maths
ill go and be a baker or something

I tried to substiute both the cos function and sin and it didnt work
Separate the integral into each term
because the stuff with x doesnt cancel out
Then do a substitution for each new integral
The stuff inside the trig is all linear so its not that bad

now now, we can discuss rates when you start putting more work in
actually was so confused why it didnt work 💀

hello!
i am trying to find the adjacent angle of this. sqrt5 is the opposite side and 4 is the hypotenuse.
i'm looking up how to do it and the 2 things i have found are:
- adjacent = sqrt(c^2+a^2)
- adjacent = sqrt(difference of a & c * sum of a & c)
for that first one i can only find ai stuff. for the 2nd one i have found a single video. are either of these legit methods to find the adjacent side?
thanks :D (btw, please ping when responding!)
Are you familiar with the trig functions?
cos, sine, etc? yes
don't use ai to learn math
you have b and c. use algebra to solve for a
yeah i was super skeptical of the ai, i couldn't find much else which is why i asked here haha
trig can also work, but pythagorean theorem is simpler if you know the algebra
feel free to work on it on paper for yourself then check your answer here
arent you supposed to find theta 
,tex .sohcahtoa
riemann
can't get away from trig then
yeah i'm gonan have an easier time with that when i know the side haha
here, do you know what sin(theta) equals?
this is the question, i have sine but put off the others for now. gonna come back to them later
yep i just have this written out
this will give you x
and once you have x you can find cos(theta)
you could also use $\sin^2(\th) + \cos^2(\th) = 1$ to solve for it as well
riemann
could yall just help me out

How do I start this problem?
you have to do a limit on both sides
We need the limit?
if the limits dont equal each other, then it doesnt exist
oh
but its a greater than sign
not a greater than or equal to sign
does that not matter?
doesnt matter
since its a limit
thats the weird thing with limits
with continuity we treat being arbitrarily close to 0 as being 0

how can i make a graph "drawing" on desmos using functions? such as polynomial, exponential, sum, difference, product, quotient, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions?
Do you mean one that draws itself out over time?
noo
just a still
differnet functions in different colors, with domain restrictions, act as lines
and they all create one drawing
like desmos art
nooo
sorry
its grade 12 advanced functions
we just have to make a picture of a social issue
using these functions
on desmos
im trying to do
just type the function?
rising sea levels
i really dont know which function to use and how to really make the drawing come together
You can make a domain restriction with piece wise expressions
i think i said that wrong
not domain restriction
just like
shortening the function
yk
y=sinx{0<x<3}
Yea desmos calls those piecewise expressions 😭
and then some sort of parabola to be like a piece of land
and a stick man standing on top of it
and like fire around him
from global warming
ahhh okay thank u
didnt know that
what im struggling with most is transformations to get the lines in the right place
jolly ahh math class 😭🙏
plus we arent allowed to use line functions (like straight lines) or quadratic functions, or absolute values
LMAOAOAOAO
Uh you can use draggable points
wouldnt that change the function tho
like if i was trying to use a degree 3 polynomial function
would dragging it around change what type of function it is?
Depends on what variables you associate to the point
That's the math part of this assignment
You can make this point be the turning point of a quadratic
Or just the x and y offset of a function
do i then just substitute the values at that point in the slider section into the equation?
how would i get that function just from a point
Eg let's look at this example
I use the turning point form of a quadratic
And connect x1 and y1 to be the coordinates of a point
ok lets say
for this
ignore the a variable
its from the previous equation
how would i drag around this function?
Uh you can just assign the point to be the x and y transformation
how
Sub x with x-x_1
can i change that after?
With some expansion yea
doesnt change the graph
when i move the slider around
how do i do it the way you were describing
ohhhhhhh
shooot okay thank u
Important Notes:
- Organize Functions into Folders
a- All functions used in your design should be organized into the corresponding folders in Desmos by function type
b- A copy of all the functions used in your summary table must be stored in the “Summary Table” folder in desmos without restrictions.
- No lines or parabolas in your design.
Linear, quadratic, absolute value functions are not allowed. Functions not covered in this course are not allowed.
You may not use compound or composite functions that simplify to linear or quadratic functions (eg "f" left parenthesis, "x" , right parenthesis equals StartFraction, "x" cubed Over "x" , EndFraction
fx=
x3
x)
- Restrictions:
To show part of the graph of a function you must restrict its domain and not its range.
For example: "y" equals 4 "x" cubed plus 5 left brace, 0 less than or equal to "x" less than or equal to 1 , right brace
y=4x3+50≤x≤1 shows the part of the graph with x coordinates between 0 and 1
- Animation and Shading:
You must animate at least one function in your design using sliders and you must shade at least one part of your design using inequalities.
my teacher mentioned this
she says that we have to restrict the function by its domain not the range
does using the x-x1 change the function form?
like will it still be a polynomial function?
im guessing it becomes a different form
because youre subtracting a value
is that a transformation?
What is a polynomial function?
a function with powers
Integer powers
In this case will our function still be a sum of x terms with integer powers?
Uh no
Mhm as such it is still a polynomial function
Man I wish I could be in your jolly ahh school
hahahaha
yea this assignment is def out there
how would i go about cutting off the vertical parts of the graph?
cause we arent allowed to restrict the range
@inner sparrow Has your question been resolved?
You should be able to express all range restrictions as domain restrictions
For example if you had this function
And wanted to restrict the range between 2 and 5
Then you'd solve the equations
x^3+2x+5=5 and x^3+2x+5=2
Then those x values would be the values for the domain restriction @inner sparrow
You also have the option of just solving them graphically
Which desmos makes very easy to do by highlighting all intercept and turning points
And allowing you to click on them to see their coordinates

Hello there, this part I have no idea why and how -3^x/9 becomes 1-(1/9), could anyone help me with that?
why instead of minus 3^x/9 its multiplication now?
look at the pic
look it was 3^x - (3^x / 9) and below it it was simplified to 3^x(1-(1/9))
i dont understand it at all
ok
it was exponentiation and now its just simple multiplication?
this is like saying $2 - 2*・a =2(1-a)$

may i ask how?
i hate latex anyway you get what it is
i might have missed learning this part before moving on
ok lets just replace all the numbers with pronumerala
so we have 3^x = a and 1/9=b
alright
we can write 2nd line like $a - ab$ yes?
Sho
highkey i dont need latex for this but
you agree with this right?
its about this right?
yep
i dont see a in 1/9 =b

Number 2
I have a question about c)
So it says estimate so im assuming you dont need to actually calculate but im confused on how you actually would calcuate it
This unit is rates of change by the way in advanced functions
I did x = 30
so f(31) - f(29) / 2
34 - 36 /2 = -1
but the answer says that the estimate would be -0.75
Ideally you would wanna choose x = 20 and x = 40
f(20) is approximately 45 and f(40) = 30
x = 30 lies perfectly within [20,40] and you wanna choose values for which you can use the graph at best
The problem with your choice is you cannot accurately tell what function values you would have x = 29 and x = 31 as opposed to choosing the next best integer values
i see
but it gives the same answer
LOL
= -1
eh
ill probably ask the teacher
its ok ty

$f(x) - f(x-1) = x^4$ Solve for f(x)
kronium_
notice that
$f(x) = f(x-1) + x^4 = f(x-2) + (x-1)^4 + x^4$
tobi
yes
||summation relation||?
Because we can just define f on [0, 1) arbitrarily and from there find f on the rest of the real line using f(x) = f(x-1) + x⁴
telescoping series...
yes yes
will it work?
such as
what does that even mean
can you derive a function from this?
i have no idea what that means
like, it will be sufficient to solve for f(x) using telescoping
great so can YOU DERIVE A FUNCTION FRom this single equation?
yes.
teach me
master
this forbidden power
it will make so
so strong
that the world will bend to my will
This will produce a large family of functions satisfying the equation
So I guess an interesting question would be to figure out which of those functions are continuous
If we want to calculate f(3) we can do that by
$f(3) = f(2) + 3^4 = f(1) + 2^4 + 3^4 = f(0) + 1^4 + 2^4 + 3^4$
lmfao
tobi
imma be honest i just said yes its continuous idk what the function is
yes
,texsp ||$\sum_{k=1}^n k^4-\sum_{k=1}^n (k-1)^4=n^4$||
;(
the things you need
Is there a way to derive this polynomial function EASILY?
it is
to find your function here is to know how it acts in Intervall of length 1
ok
why?
Alright, let f be some arbitrary continuous function on [0, 1). We can now find all values on [1, 2) using f(x) = f(x-1) + x⁴. Obviously f turns out to be continuous on [1, 2).
We want f to be continuous in the neighborhood of 1 as well, so we want lim_{x -> 1-} f(x) = f(1) = f(0) + 1⁴
Similarly we can find all values on [-1, 0) and write down a condition for continuity at 0, and so on.
i have proved this before
its somewhere in my notebook
let me see if i can find it
proof isn't what i want
its the exact opposite of what I want
I want the polynomial equation
this is how the function behaves for natural numbers
we can prove that its a degree 5 polynomial
then we also have this
i really dont care about what we can or cant prove, this isn't one of those questions like "prove the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg" Nah, here we find the function
WAIT
THAT
MAKES
IT
easy?
Look
ik a way
...
continue
we know that f(n) is $\sum_{i=1}^n i^4$
- f(0)
kronium_
$f(n) = \sum_{i=1}^n i^4$
kronium_
just assume this now
ASSUME THIS FOR Nowe
we also know
its a 5th degree polynomial
so look
now lets find the function g(n)
or do we
where g(n) = f(n-1)
Why would it be a polynomial in the first place
look
shut up and listen and stop asking me to prove the most basic things in existence
$\sum_{i=1}^n i^4 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)(3n^2+3n-1)}{30}$
please
tobi
so look
this can be proved by induction
It's not basic though?
its sad your mind cant comprehend it
look
the sum of the an arithmetic sequence is told by a quadratic sequence
a quadratic sequence is told by cubic
cubic by quartic
and so on
now pay attention
Yes but there're infinitely many functions that pass through points of the form (n, \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)(3n^2+3n-1)}{30})
I don't know why he says it has to be a polynomial, I think there are infinely many continues function satisfying this
ys
$g(x) = ax^5 + bx^4 + cx^3 + dx^2 + ex + f$
kronium_
thats why I said you probably need information in atleast one Intervall
of length 1
Instead of insulting me you could at least remember that we're looking for an f defined on R, not just N: #help-39 message
Im trying to explain but you keep interuppting me, Im onto smth im not sure if it works
g(0) = 0 so f = 0
I mean if you just exchange n with x we are probably already done, for the question statement, and f(0) can be any real number then
Yep, that's what I suggested starting with: #help-39 message
g(1) = 1
g(2) = 17
correct me if im wrong
g(3) = 98
and so on
this gives us a linear pair of equations
which can be solved using a matrix
also 'a' can be solve for if Ik have a few more terms
Yes, but this only gives one solution. What if there are other continuous functions satisfying that relation?
It's just frustrating to be asked to prove every little thing when I'm onto something like in school
proving comes later
theory must flourish
I didn't want to interrupt your solution, sorry. I was trying to be instructive and pointed out a potential oversight
every x in R can be written as x = n + alpha, where alpha is in (0,1) and n is an integer, then use the recursion formula
let x be positive for now then
$f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^n i^4 + f(\alpha)$
yep
tobi
otherwise for negative x you probably get a minus sign
yes
UPD: no
I am however not sure how someone would continue from here
This function will be automatically continuous on each interval of the form (k, k+1), so it's enough to ensure continuity at integer points
ah sure, so we can give a class of functions satisfying this then
For any $n$ we want
$$\lim_{x \rightarrow n-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow n+} f(x),$$
$$\lim_{x \rightarrow n-} \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}j+f({x}) = \lim_{x \rightarrow n+} \sum_{j=1}^{n}j+f({x})$$
EQUENOS
so I guess we probably use this here then
$\sum_{i=1}^n i^4 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)(3n^2+3n-1)}{30}$
tobi
but actually that notation is very weird
because inside the limit n should not be an integer
We now have
$$\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}j^4 + \lim_{\alpha \rightarrow 1-} f(\alpha) = \sum_{j=1}^n j^4 + \lim_{\alpha \rightarrow 0+} f(\alpha)$$
j^4 but yeah
oops yeah
EQUENOS
$\frac{2ax^3}{6} + \frac{3bx^2}{6} + \frac{cx}{6}$
kronium_
kronium_
oh damn
$\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} i^4 = \frac{(n-1)((n-1)+1)(2(n-1)+1)(3(n-1)^2+3(n-1)-1)}{30} = -n/30 + n^3/3 - n^4/2 + n^5/5$
tobi
Nice, could you please share your answer here when you finish deriving?
simple
its really
quite simple
so
ikr
xDD
Assume you wish to find the sum of an 'n' degree polynomial
the sum of the terms of an nth degree polynomial can be represented by an n+1 degree polynomial
im too lazy to derive
i'll tell u how it works though
yeah and then you solve a linear system for coefficients
I was asking about f(x) though
YEZ
but
heres the fun part
'a' and the constant can be found easily
this reduces the linear equation that you need by 2 terms
for example
if you have a 5th degree polynomial
you have to calculate the inverse of a 5x5 matrix
but you can easily find the final constant term and the value of 'a'
if it is the function f(x) you wish to calculate for
then make a function g(x) which you calculate for first where g(x) = f(x-1)
g(x) will also be a n+1 degree polynomial
are you trying that? but it must hold for all n right
the first term of the nth degree polynomial
and even after that its only for x > 0
that will be the constant
in the n+1 degree polynomial
also evaluate the first n+1 terms of the n+1 degree polynomial
then find their differences
and their differences
do it n+1 times
and you will reach a constant
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.
divide that constant by (n+1)!
that will give you the value of 'a'
so with this a 5th degree polynomial can be reduced to a 3rd degree polynomial
@elfin stirrup
u therE?
doesn't this prove that no solution exists?
sure teach me
when I tell you a number
I want you to tell me the sum of the fourth powers upto that number
ok
first number is 0
then 1
then 2
then 3
then 4
thats all
if we can find the values of these 4 I can tell you how it works
Hold on we made a mistake. The proper expression for $f(x)$ would be
$$f(x) = f(\alpha) + \sum_{x-j > 0} (x-j)^4$$
EQUENOS
ah yeah yes my bad
tobi
Now the limit below gives us f(1-) = f(0+) + 1
So the final continuity condition is f(1-) = f(0+) + 1
And then we should also check continuity for negative x
@peak vine asked to be reminded <t:1732124725:R>,
since the constant is '60' and it is a 5th degree polynomial
a = 60/5!
= 1/2
also e = 0
it seems like you should use the hint
Closed by @steel flare
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Yes, you figured out how to find one solution (good job btw). That is, you found f(x) = -x/30 + x^3/3 - x^4/2 + x^5/5.
However, there're many more continuous solutions
[
\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} (x-j)^4 + \lim_{\alpha \to 1^-} f(\alpha) = \sum_{j=1}^n (x-j)^4 + \lim_{\alpha \to 0^+} f(\alpha)
]
tobi
right?
yeah the problem is that the others are ridiculous
Not quite, unless you meant (n-j) in the summation outside of the limit
Also the summation bounds are different (both sums are up to n but one of them starts from j=2)
But mathematically they're not worse than the one you found :)
They're also continuous functions satisfying the relation
you've been telling me that mumbo jumbo for quite a while now, why dont u give me an example
Let f(x) = x on [0, 1)
In all other points define f(x) using the relation f(x) = f(x - 1) + x^4
So for example on [1, 2) it will be equal to x - 1 + x^4
i have no idea what that means
The red segment is what we defined on [0, 1)
that doesn't seem continuous
It is, in fact, continuous

Find the difference between the upper and lower estimate of sin(x) on 0<= x <= pi/2 for 100 subdivisions
I know the answer is |sin(pi/2) - sin(0)| * pi/200, but why?
pi/200 is Δx, simple enough. But my understanding is sin(pi/2) * Δx is the upper estimate, but why?
isn't sin(pi/2) * Δx just the last rectangle under the curve (when taking right hand values)?
am I misunderstanding what the question is asking?
to your last question, yes
and sin(0) * dx is the first rectangle when taking left hand values
there's a lot of rectangles in common between the two sums
(maybe shifted one dx to the right or left, but same area)
ok I think I understand
the one difference between the two estimates is if they have the leftmost rectangle, or if they instead have the right most one
so we just subtract those
yea

Needed to solve this equation, from my exp/log unit. I applied log to both sides, but then I realized I wasn't really solving for an exp, since it's already given. Can I solve this using log somehow? I got stuck when I needed to separate R from 100.
In the second picture, I solve this without thinking about using log, but curious if I can approach it with log. If the purpose of log func is to help you find the exponent, which I'm given, I'm assuming it's the wrong tool
yeah, second approach looks better
You could always divide by 6 in your working with logarithms, and then exponentiate both sides and solve for R
But this amounts to your second method, just with extra steps
what you can do is this: $\log(\frac52)=6\log(100+R)-6\log(100)$, since by log properties, $\log(\frac{a}{b})=\log(a)-\log(b)$.
;(
let this sink in for a moment
In general, equations that need logarithms will have their variables in the exponent. Here you really have a polynomial equation (if you expanded the parentheses)
this is easily solvable for R with a bit of manipulation
but again, second solution is better.
ahh yeah, I was also thinking about converting it like this too since I saw I could apply quotient law, but it's just the variable inside that thew me off, how would you eventually separate and isolate it
ahh I see
exponentiating both sides again
see now it’s kinda pointless
but you could still do it ig
regardless it leads to that second solution
could you please show me, probably is something super basic but my brain isn't seeing it rn
actually I can probably search it up, anyway thanks again

This is part d, is the function f meant to be given?
did you try finding f_q'
this
we are given that f_{q+1} = xf_q'
OH yeah mb
so you just need to find f_q' then multiply it by x
and you should have $f_{q+1} = \sum_{i=1}^n i^{q+1}x^i$
knief
i have this part
then you completed the induction step
if you got this then you already proved it
its how induction works
the base case was done in the earlier parts
then you just showed P(q) => P(q+1)
q was arbitrary so this works
no
you didnt do what i said
$f_{q+1} \coloneq xf_q'$
we assumed as an induction hypothesis that f_q was what we were trying to prove it was
yes
and you get this
