The negation of this statement would be
There is atleast one $\epsilon >0$,for which there is a positive number $\delta$ such that $|x-a|< \delta$ implies $|f(x)-f(a)| \geq \epsilon$
if this statement was true,then the original statement would be false
and thus we can say its the negation of the originals tatement
but then again
arent we supposed to be using demorgans law ?
p would be there is a positive number $\delta$ such that $|x-a|< \delta$
and q would be $|f(x)-f(a)| < \epsilon$

Can someone help me understand why the limits of the integration switched places but the minus before the integration is still there? Is this a mistake ?
an error perhaps?
Its done for simplification purposes
But wouldnt thwt change
The sign
In the integral ?

Hi can someone help me with the last part please?
If you could send over the working for that lsat part that'd be great
I've got the entire q till now only that part I'm stuck on
have you, by chance, heard of the properties of the roots of unity?
anyways
i think i have an idea, let me see if it works
yeah, no, this polygon is a really odd shape
i suppose you could use right triangles to solve for the area, but it doesn't look nice at all
i know what roots of unity is but not sure abt properties
wait, how did you solve part b)?
i used shoe lace method
send your work
there might be a way to generalize it.
why don't you try using shoelace method for a general polygon?
$z^k=2^k\qty(\cos(\frac{\pi k}{n})+i\sin(\frac{\pi k}{n}))$
;(
hmm wdym
i meant polygon, sorry
could you send working lol
i'm confused 😭
i sketched the graph out by hand, but are graphing utilites allowed on this test?
i double checked it using desmos
I think it's a non calc paper unfortunately (I'm not sure ) but usually complex number qs are
but it's alr ig we can bend the rules in this case because I'm j trying to understand lol
ok
The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. It is called the shoelace formula because of the constant cross-multiplying for the coordinates making up the polygon,...

is 103993/33102 tge most accurate FRACTIONAL form of pi?
no
pi being irrational, theres always a fraction more accurate for any fraction you choose
do u know the most accurate one yet?
there is no "most accurate" one
there can never be a rational number that is most accurate to pi
cus if there was
there would be one more accurate than it
and thats a condradiction
i mean, the one that's been discovered the latest
but i get wgat youre talking about!
trillions of digits of pi have been calculated
thats probably not the most accurate one discovered
im guessing this one is the latest discovered fraction yet

Hello! I have just understanding problem. The screenshots are in german but I will try to translate the most important things and where i am stuck. I was doing this exercise and i solved it correctly but I dont understand where the numbers to t1 and t2 came from. Can i just take random number and put is as t1 and t2 or is there something im missing? I dont understand why its t1=1 and t2=0 and also later t1=-3 and t2=5
The exercise: Determine the line 𝐺 that passes through the two given points 𝑝 and 𝑞. (screenshot)
My problem: After the first representation of G i dont understand the further representations (how do i get values for t1 and t2 or can i just think of any number in this example?)
I also included screenshot of chatgpt translation of the german screenshot
t1=-3 and t2= 5 seem very specific for me thats why im not sure if its only example/i can choose the numbers myself
Deutsch auch gut
Tatsächlich kann eine Geradengleichung unterschiedlich aufgestellt werden
very nice from you but i would like to understand this in english (Ich studiere auf Deutsch, aber meine Rechtschreibung ist katastrophal.) deswegen schreibe ich auf english lol
aber du kannst gerne auf deutsch es mir eklären :) danke
Du kannst ja immer ein Vielfaches des Richtungsvektors nehmen
Und der Ortsvektor kann ja p oder q sein
Also was ich meine ist ob du von q startest und zum Punkt p läufst oder umgekehrt
Es läuft aufs Gleiche hinaus
aaaah ok
Und was ist mit t1 und t2 später? Kann ich einfach beliebige Zahlen nehmen?
Achso ja
Ich musste erstmal verstehen was da gemacht wurde
Ja die Sportsfreunde
die haben auf den Ortsvektor ein Vielfaches des Richtungsvektor drauf addiert
Damit die quasie zeigen, dass die Gerade G, wie erwähnt, anders aufgestellt werden kann
ah oki ich verstehe jetzt
Das kannst du mit einem beliebigen t machen ja
dankeschön :)
thank you too

for the prompt - Explain how you know when you can factor to solve quadratics as opposed to using the square root method.
Did I explain thoroughly and clearly?-
You know when you can factor to solve quadratics vs using the square root method by looking at the structure of the equation.
you should factor when the quadratic equation can be rewritten as the product of two binomials. This means you can easily break it down into two simpler expressions that multiply together.
use the square root method when you can rearrange the equation to isolate the squared term (x^2) on one side, or if the equation is a trinomial.
@visual canyon Has your question been resolved?
" or if the equation is a trinomial." isn't that the case for completing the square I don't see how the sqrt method would work on trinomials
(unless you are referring completing the square as the square root method)
yes, I am sorry for the confusion
to my understanding they are the same thing??
technically yea for the ax^2+bx+c=0 in case of b=0 then
it can be solved using the square root method
and for the b not equal to 0 you complete the square
and just so I can be on the same boat
you are trying to compare factoring vs completing the square ?
yeah essentially
btw click the X reaction here so the room doesn't automatically close
i've interpreted the sort of vague (imo) prompt "Explain how you know when you can factor to solve quadratics as opposed to using the square root method." to be asking when it is appropriate to pick factoring vs when you should solve by completing the square/ square root method
the problem with the method I'm trying to state is the fact that I always generalize for all cases including cases for non-real solutions so I'm not sure how you could improve your statement srry
thats fine, does it look good enough?
like-- passable
I could see that it's good but you could add something like "completing the square is the method used for trinomials where it can be reshaped by adding or subtracting to perfect squares"

can someone explain how come this is just 10! / 5!
I designated 5 spaces
and said the first can be any number from 0-9 so 10 possibilities
and then second has to be 9 third 8 and so on
so i js got 10x9x8x7x6
which is right too
but how is that formula being come up with
10! / 5! ← i just think of this as 10x9x8x7x6
cause the 5! cancels out the rest
yeah
but i mean i woudln't be able to do that for larger problems so how can i do it the way they had?
why wouldn't you?
let’s say you have n-numbers to choose from and k numbers you need to choose.
that's literally what the factorial notation is for
for example 100x99x98x...x32
it can be written as 100! / 31!
n choose k
bruh
is it combinatorics
yeah, no shit, it says choose
this is supposed to be FCP and permutations homework 💀💀💀

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
4?
,w xx + 2(b/2)x + (b/2)^2 + c = (x + b/2)^2 + c
- The substitution, why specefically 2(6/2)? And does the squaring work because of the devisor of two or?
isn’t that a b/2?
regardless, yes, they wanted to preserve the original form of the quadratic and use completing the square for it.
i thonk soemone explain it before, but recall that $x^2+2ax+a^2=(x+a)^2$
;(
$$x^2 + bx$$
$$x^2 + 2\qty(\frac b2)x + \qty(\frac b2)^2$$
$$\qty(x^2 + \frac b2x) + \qty(\frac b2x + \qty(\frac b2)^2)$$
$$x\qty(x + \frac b2) + \frac b2 \qty(x + \frac b2)$$
$$\qty(x + \frac b2)\qty(x + \frac b2)$$
$$\qty(x + \frac b2)^2$$
and because the factors of 100 add up to 10 which is half of what I want this proves the rule
yeah, if you mean what i think.
why beehive
King Leo
lmfao
yeah, this is a pretty valid method
why do they have 2 behind it?
Note: the first and second expressions arent always equal to each other, which is why you must add (b/2)^2 to the other side of the equation too
again, preserving the original quadratic form; $2\cdot\frac{b}{2}=b$
;(
?????? what is the original form
oh to undo the division?
so just to keep b as b?
🅱️
also if im slower than usual of which i am typically alr slow its bc im sick (tbh this is 100x faster cuz i know 90% of whats going on this time)
so uhh... yea
There is an idea in mathematics called the teakettle principle. It goes as follows:
A mathematician asked a physicist how, given an empty teakettle and an unlit gas stove, water could be boiled. The physicist conjectured that water could be boiled by filling the kettle, lighting the stove, and placing the kettle on the stove. The mathematician agreed.
The mathematician then asked how water could be boiled given a filled kettle and a lit stove. The physicist proposed that the kettle should be placed on the stove. The mathematician said, "Wrong! It would be simpler to empty the kettle and turn off the stove. Then, we would have a problem that we already have solved!"
Thats how this problem works too.
You reduce the quadratic equation to one of the known forms, aka the factorization of a^2 - b^2
And we know a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so thats why we wanna reduce the efforts and just convert the problem into a simpler one

How do I turn this into an exponential function
y+4 = 2log_4 (1/8x+2)
log_4 (1/8x+2) = (y+4)/2
now consider (1/8x+2) as a one whole term, (y+4)/2 as another term
How do they apply

okay.
so, basically, a right hand limit is represented by $\lim_{x\to a^+}f(x)$; it represents the limit as the graph is approaching $a$ from the right
;(
a left-hand limit is similar; $\lim_{x\to a^-} f(x)$, so the limit as the graph is approaching $a$ from the left

sometimes called from above and below aswell

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/
SD = squart root of VAR
VAR = take mean
minus all the data given by the mean,
times the data by themselves,
find mean again and boom
Is this correct?
my friend juts summarized this for me
and i have no idea if hes right
SD = standard deviation
VAR = variance
mmmm7
take each data and subtract it from the mean and square it -> this is your work for each data point
and keep a counter called sum or whatever
and then add your work for each data point
to get a new sum
finally divide by the number of data points
that's for the population variance
for the sample variance, you have a correction

Can someone explain why it's important to reverse the order of factors in this derivation and in general? What is the difference in equation 1.3.14 between <V|i><i| and <i|<V|i>?
@wet sky Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
bras and kets relate to each other. do you know what the difference is
should be explained earlier in whatever text this is
bras are conjugate transpose of a ket
It's Shankar quantum mechanics
for matrices sure
adjoint is more general
take the conjugate transpose of 1.3.13 to get 1.3.14
which equation are you talking about here
1.3.13 to 1.3.14
did you do this
Isn't it just |i> <V|i>? Since <V|i> is a dot product and produces a scalar the order of a scalar and a ket shouldn't matter?
.
It should matter? Thats what I am confused by.
riemann
Adjoint of $| i \rangle = \rangle i|$
doomfletcherpoe
Woops wrong angle bracket
yea try this again
I'm missing something obvious here because I don't get it.
.
$|i \rangle = (1, i, 1+i)$ what's the adjoint?
riemann
left side i is a vector. right side i is imaginary unit
A column vector (1, -i, 1-i)
riemann
like you're asking here
No it equals <i|. Oh I see I should of switched the ket to a bra.
then use commutativity of scalar and vectors to get 1.3.14
So <i|<V|i> = <V|i><i| right?
Here the order doesn't matter right?
that's what commutativity means yes

@plush bramble
No but if you guide me i will read and learn@clever zenith
ok,
the idea of a generating function is that if you have a series $a_n$ you can make a generating function of that series like this "$f(x)=a_0+a_1 x+a_2 x^2+a_3 x^3+...+a_n x^n$".
Horsi135
wait
if the series is finite then what you do is add infinite 0 after the last $a_n$
Horsi135
one important thing is that the generating function is not actually a function it's more of a string (like computer scince string).
@plush bramble are they trolling?
about this functions like multiplication and addition
where did you lose me?
@supple roost
the idea is not to give an answer but to explain how to get to the solution
oh, yeah.
horsi can you keep explaining please
sure
I will now write generating functions like this $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n$
Horsi135
$f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n$ and $g(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} b_n x^n$ the addition $f(x)+g(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (a_n+b_n) x^n$

And you have to consider the order here.
@supple roost
is by creating this functions and multiplying $(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4)(1+x+x^2)(1+x)(1+x)(1+x)$ each function represent one of the letters
Horsi135
and the power is how many times we chose the letter
for example the letter 'A' we can take 0 times 1 times all the way to 4 times
this is why its from x^0 to x^4
if we will carry the multiplication we will get $(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4)(1+x+x^2)(x^3+3x^2+3x+1)$
Horsi135
we will take for a second $(1+x+x^2)(x^3+3x^2+3x+1)$
Horsi135
x^9 + 5 x^8 + 12 x^7 + 19 x^6 + 23 x^5 + 23 x^4 + 19 x^3 + 12 x^2 + 5 x + 1
is the expanded form
of all?
now if you will look each one of the powers tells us how many letters we used and the coefficients tells us how many ways we got to that amount
for example we can get 9 letters only by taking all of them so only in 1 way
yah
this is why the coefficient of $x^9$ is 1
Horsi135
what is x?
x does not matter here
its the generating function that does
its kind of how like the binomial theorem lets us find terms of the pascal's triangle
how can i solve the problem if x does not matter?
cus we dont need to find x
this is not an equation
we need to see the coefficients
continue explaining
we can see that the coefficient of x^4 is 23 so that tells us the the amount of ways we can choose 4 letters from the letters we were given is 23
so 23 is the answer?
I think the answer is 285.
@supple roost Has your question been resolved?
P(4,4)/P(4,4)+P(4,4)/P(4,3)*4+P(4,4)/P(2,2)*12+P(4,4)/P(2,2)/P(2,2) + P(4,4)*4 = 285
@dusty jungleWhat do you think my answer?
@clever zenith
is this with or without order? and how?
with order.

Let $f:U\to\mathbb R^d$ be differentiable on the open subset $U\subset\mathbb R^d$. We then have $$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{|f(h+a)-f(a)-Df(a)(h)|}{|h|}=0,\quad \forall a\in U.$$ Here $Df(a)$ is the derivative at $a$, i.e. the linear transformation. Let now $K\subset U$ be compact. Under what conditions on $f$ does the fraction above converge uniformly to $0$ on $K$?

I'm partly reading this answer (and also my own textbook, where this claim is made) and it clearly holds for d=1 (with K=[a,b]) and with the help of the mean value theorem and the assumption f being continuously differentiable. For d>1, I'm not sure anymore which mean value theorem/inequality applies and how to prove the above claim, if we assume f is continuously differentiable.

yo
4y³ - 9y??
U switch the 9 and 12 around?
Alr
This right?
@jovial zenith
Alr I checked the answer it's right
But how do I do b 💀
I figured it out
How do I do c tho?
Seriously
<@&286206848099549185>
whatcha got so far?
Sounds good 
good grouping for sure, factor what you can from those and see
Factor what?
why did you decide to put 2n^4+n^3 and 16n+8 in brackets?
ok, i thought they were good groupings because 16 is twice 8 and 2 is twice 1, so we can hope that those two bracketed sections work nicely with each other 
True
try factoring out some stuff based on that grouping
like you can factor out n^3 from (2n^4+n^3)

don't forget the poor 2n factor 
Oh
but other than that, the n^3-8 can be factored a bit more, then you're done
8 is also a cube 🧊
How do I factor that?
How?
What cube?
Difference of cubes
Idk the formula ngl
n^3-8 is a difference of cubes, you probably have a formula for it :)
I forgot
$a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$
maskyboi
b here is 2
Oh cuz 2³ is 8
Okok
I'll solve this then I'll show u my answer
Give me a min
Right?
@midnight minnow
Alr I checked the answer it's right
I gtg now

is the derivatve of my first pic this? if so, which x values will make the derivative equal to 0? is it 0, 1, and 3/7?
,w derivative x^3(x-1)^4
yes
@hoary blade Has your question been resolved?
wait so then @versed mica does that mean that 0 is an x value where the tangent line has a slope of 0?
what
0 is a number
zeros of the first derivative also called critical points are values of x that make the first derivative zero
and they’re important for determining whether or not a function has a max/min at that particular point
yes since x = 0 makes f’ = 0
ok ok so then the answer key is wrong i think?:
cause a point should also include 0 i think
and for this last question, what is the derivative?
is it (x +8 / 2 root (4-x))
@versed mica
wdym
the thing is with x = 0 here it doesn’t really do anything since the factor is x^2
it doesn’t change sign
since f’ does not change sign at x = 0 f will not have a max or min at x = 0
and it’s essentially an insignificant critical point
for this question we just have to see if it changes direction at any of these critcial points. how can u just tell that f' does not change sign at x=0 though? @versed mica
because x^2 is always positive
for x < 0 it’s still positive
likewise for x > 0 it’s positive
so it doesn’t change sign at x = 0
but thats just one part of the derivative
how can u just look at that one term and tell it dont change sign @versed mica
yes
can i see your sign chart
i see that it continues to be positive
i am just wondering how u can tell just by looking at the term
ik u just ssaid but i dont really get i t
cause like even though x squared is always positive, there is still other sign changes when looking at different points other than x = 0 @versed mica
because it’s x^2
even power
always positive
but then why is there parts of the function that are negative
if it has an even power then it doesn’t cross the x axis
because the function isn’t x^2?
x^2 is simply a factor the derivative
but like when u look at x = 0 dont u have sub in 0 for all x's? So like if that is positive how do u know if the other parts will be positive or negative without looking at them @versed mica
yes you do but the thing is since the other factors don’t change sign at zero it will change nothing
they will still have the same sign until their "critical point"
so since the other factors have the same sign until then and x^2 doesn’t change sign either, it’s all the same in that interval
so you can essentially neglect it
,w differentiate xsqrt(4-x)
product rule
o wait i think ik where i went wrong
$x \cdot \frac{-1}{2\sqrt{4-x}} + \sqrt{4-x}$
lemme see if i see my error
knief
then common denominator
can u also get rid of fractions?
$\frac{-x + 8-2x}{2\sqrt{4-x}} = \frac{8-3x}{2\sqrt{4-x}}$
knief
wait so a restrtion for this is it has to be equal or less than 4 right?
so my critical point intervals shoudl go to posityive infinity? @versed mica
what?
you mean for the domain
yes x < 4
yes domain restriction
can it be equal to 4 tooo?
well not here no since it’s in the denominator
because it would make the denominator zero
for sqrt(x) the function yes
ohh ok
wait but les say this was in numerator then u could? so one interval would be (infinity, 4] ?
@versed mica
like if it was just that in numerator
all good don’t need to ping every 5 seconds though
wait so it would be 4 with square brackets?
if your function was sqrt(4-x) yes
but since it’s in the denominator we have the added condition that it can’t be zero
since you can’t divide by zero
but like how come in like all the questions i have done on this topic, i have never used square brackets for the intervals?
you mean for increasing/decreasing?
like all these
yes
because f’ = 0 is technically neither increasing nor decreasing
what i just said above was related to the domain
which was what i thought you were asking me
so it includes 4 in this case because its not 0 slope
and it coudl still be increasing/decreaasing?
you mean here?
no like the hypothetical thing i said where the function was sqrt 4-x
the function or the derivative?
if f’(x) = sqrt(4-x) then f’ > 0 for all x for which the function/derivative is defined
since sqrt(x) is defined to be the nonnegative number whose square is the nonnegative number x
well
f’(x) = sqrt(4-x)
sqrt(anything) is always nonnegative
and we must have anything >= 0
ok wait but cant u get a negative after sqrting
but like -2 squared and and 2 squared both are 4
im aware
that is smth i get confused about becuase sqrting i thought can sometomes have positive
but the sqrt itself is defined to give the nonnegative number
but of course the equation x^2 = 4 has two solutions
x = 2 and x = -2
so when do ik when to account for the negative answer
like ik for Pythagorean theorem u take negative nunmber too
based on the quadrant
(from my pre calc class)
@versed mica
o sorry
when you’re solving an equation with something like x^2 = a
that has two solutions
but the sqrt itself is defined to be nonnegative
yes yes
notice that if it returned both positive and negative values it wouldn’t be a function
yes
,w plot x^2
here it’s still a function
and we are only solving for values of x whose square is a particular number
x^2 = y
that gives two values
a positive and a negative root
but the sqrt on its own is defined to only give the positive root
we just defined it to be that way
wait so if it was x squared then the x can be negative or positive is what ur saying
?
so its like two different directions
ok
but then in the pyhagorean theorem, why do we look at - and +
whoever came up with and agreed on these rules decided that we would only take the positive root to avoid problems
we are square rooting a number
well in that context everything is positive
since we’re looking at side lengths
no it can also be negative
like if we look at a triangle in quadrant 3
horizontal line of triangle is negative
and also vertical line
just not hypotenuse
oh
it’s entirely consistent with the usual xy plane
x is negative to the left of the y axis and positive to the right of it
and y is negative below the x axis and positive above it
what’s the confusion there?
ok ya
the unit circle doesn’t trace out a function
it’s really the combination of sqrt(1-x^2) and -sqrt(1-x^2)
? wdym
well x^2 + y^2 = 1 is the unit circle
but a circle isn’t a function
by vertical line test if you want to hear it that way
but we usually write functions as y = some function of x
so if you solved for y
so like functions only have the positive value?
you’d have y^2 = 1 - x^2
but here as i said before
we have something squared equals something
so we take both the positive and negative roots
,w plot sqrt(1-x^2)
,w plot -sqrt(1-x^2)
looks terrible but you get the point
desmos is better
this makes it look like a parabola
like positive and negative roots of the y?
what
wait roots are like value of the variable that make the equation true right?
so like in this, would the roots be the x values, can u technically say the roots are y values? or no
no i meant sqrt
root <—> square root
that’s what i meant here
sorry for confusion
are u talking about the x or y values
$y^2 = 1-x^2$
knief
$y = \pm \sqrt{1-x^2}$
knief
and if it is, depending on the way its asked, then we look for either both or positive value
would the last iimage u posted be an example of that
i’m not sure what you’re asking
yes
assuming there’s no negative coefficient in front of course
like -sqrt(x) is always negative/ nonpositive
and both of these cases only go for if it is a function?
cause we have examples like pythargreean theorem
i mean we don’t have to consider it in that context
excuse my spelling
like if someone walked up to you on the street and said “hey man i’ll give you a million dollars if you can tell me what the square root of 4 is”
if you said -2 you’d lose out on a million bucks
wait so what is the context you are talking about =
when eliminating square root it is positive right?
not sure what you mean
no but i was saying these rules dont always apply when not talking about functions like pythagrean theorem
like y = sqrt x
well for the pythagorean theorem it’s because what does a negative side length mean?
ok ya true
yes that’s a function and to qualify as a function it must be true that for all values of x in its domain there is a unique value of y that it gets mapped to
we don’t want one input returning two or more different outputs
vertical line test
draw a line through any given x value
it should only cross once
(any given x value in its domain of course)
so y = sqrt x, x value u get is only positive
and x^2 = y, the x values positive and negative that u look at
well the x value must be >= 0 but yes it only returns nonnegative y values (>= 0)
ya otherwise no solution
right
well yea because we are only considering real values of y
sqrt(negative number) makes no sense for real numbers
square root of number that is less than 0 is just no solution isnt it? i mean thas what my teachers said
mayeb not in higher level math tho
yes at this level
later on you might see i = sqrt(-1)
it’s how we defined sqrt for negative inputs
we just called it something because it was useful and it shows up a lot
it is very much appreciated
you’re welcome
very helpful u were
i try

Is my desmos broken? My teacher just said it's not 0
He had to define it like this:
$\begin{cases} e^{\frac{-1}{x^2}} & x \neq 0 \ 0 & x = 0 \end{cases}$
prograce
e^-1/x^2 is never 0 so how?
desmos sometimes treats things as defined even when they aren't, strictly speaking
internally it is probably evaluating it as something like "e^(-infinity) = 0" which is true in the limit but doesn't make sense as an arithmetic statement
in desmos 1/0 might be infinity
and 1/(-0) is -infinity
based on how it works in floating point math
it then shows non numbers as undefined
1/(1/0) also shows 0

Could someone explain how do we get this condition
@lime river Has your question been resolved?
You basically want to minimize the distance between $f$ and its asymptote as $x \to \infty$ so that we say the limit or desired distance at infinity should be 0, so [ \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) - (mx+c) = 0 ]
which can be transformed as [ \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) - mx = c. ]

Is this weight average?
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.
"Do your best to provide a translation"
From what I can make sense off, given are four groups A, B, C, D of 15, 20, 10, 18 students and their respective average heights
Yes.
that implies, the sum of heights of all students in group A + that of group B + ... is 15*1.62 + 20*1.48 + ...
(why? hint: average = sum of data / frequency)
now, to get the total average use formula again: total avg = [total sum of all heights]/[total frequency]
So 15 * 1,62 and do that each one and then divide by the total amount of students?

Why am i getting the wrong answer
Isnt speed in 1’st part + 9 = speed in 2’nd part
Btw im stuck in C
no
speed in 1st part=speed in 2nd part +9
the first part of the journey is the one with the bigger speed
Huh
They said soeed for the first part is 9 faster than second part
Which means 1’st + 9 = 2’nd
no?
Typo
no it means 1st=9+2nd
Lol let me try
because the speed in 1st is 9 km/h faster
let me see

Pump b takes 21 mins longer
So you would probably add 21 to the other side of the eqn
Also you must be aware that 3500/(x-10) > (3500/x) when x>0

you can just do $\qty(x-\frac{3}{10})=\sqrt{\frac{-29}{100}}$ without those shenanigans
