need help proving that abs((x^2)*(floor(x))) is less that or equal to 2abs(x) on the interval or (-1;1) - {0}
Resolve it
Into a piecewise function
Write what abs x square floor x will be from -1 to 0, at 0, 0 to 1 at 1 etc
And also same for the other hand side
And compare each piecewise
our teacher said to use the fact that for x in (-1;1) -{0} x is less than or equal to 1/x
well, lim_{x \to 0} right?
so x is in [0, 1] and floor (x) = x in [0, 1]
but I'm not sure if what you're talking and what you've wrote are the same things

nah dont mind the lim stuff
all of this is to prove that lim of that function is 0 in 0
using epsilon delta definition
but i cant seem to get to the inequality of abs ((x^2)*E(1/x)) less than or equal to 2abs(x)
with E(x) being the floor function
@quasi veldt Has your question been resolved?
pretty sure you cant do that cuz its floor (1/x)

Below are the ages of the students from Section Masiyahin: 16, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 17, 16, 18, 15
how do u know if its a sample variance or population variance

Simplify $\neg(\neg P \lor Q) \lor ( P \land \neg R)$
What a wonderful world!
I was thinking $(P \land \neg Q) \lor ( P \land \neg R)$
What a wonderful world!
I think I use the distributive property now?
Don't u think it'll just be P ^ (~Q v ~R)
Yeah, $((P \land \neg Q) \lor P )\land ( P \land \neg Q) \lor(\neg R)$
What a wonderful world!
And then the distributive property again
so $[(P \lor P) \land ( P \lor \neg Q)] \land ( (\neg R \lor P) \land ( \neg Q \lor \neg R)]$
What a wonderful world!
this is the start?
yeah
it cant be simplified anymore than this though
Yeah, how do I get there though

A stone is thrown so that it will hit a bird at the top of a pole. However, at the instant the stone is thrown, the bird flies away in a horizontal straight line at a speed of 10m/s. The stone reaches a height double that of the pole and, in its descent, hits the bird. Find the horizontal velocity of the stone.
i have an idea, but im not sure if it wud give the ans
write yr equations from h, instead of O
tried it doesnt work well
@blissful thunder Has your question been resolved?
Nah the bird is 10m/s and it starts further than the person throwing it
so it has to go slightly faster to catch up

How would i begin to do this problem?
i know i can do x^2 +1 - 1 but that doesnt do anythin here
what if you rearrange that as (x^2 - 1) + 1
then split it? into two fractions
x^2-1 / x-1 and 1/x-1
how would i simplify this? sorryfor asking
can you factor x^2 - 1?
x^2 - 1 has x-1 as a factor, whereas x^2 + 1 does not

Integration of [e^x log(sin e^x)]/tan(e^x) dx
It's obvious that it's f(x)/f'(x) but what to do with the e^x
ln or log?
Ln
$$\int \frac{e^x \ln(\sin(e^x))}{\tan(e^x)} \dd{x}$$
King Leo
Differentiation ****
Differentiate
Youre trying to differentiate the function?
Yeah I'll take ln() as t then get dt= ()dx
i got its reciprocal tho
Now put it in original integration we and get t dt
After power rule put ln()= t back in
That's how my maths teacher taught me
It's different from usub but if it works it works
Yes
Yes
The maths teacher told is on lhs it'll be dx/dt just multiple both sides by dt to get ___dx = dt
move everything on lhs other than du to rhs
Instead of substituting as u I used t and differentiated wrt t
So dt
nono even if my x is x and my u is ln(), my last line would be dx=___du
doesnt rly matter but apparently this tripped you
If I took ln()=u then yes but I took ln()=t and differentiated wrt t
Yeah I just started integration yesterday
you need du=___dt
I don't get it
so youd put the entire ___dt in place of du in ur main work
or you can use ___du=dt
if you can find the ___ in your main work
How did u get u?
tbh i didnt see this until you pointed it out
your u is my x
your t is my u
you just have wonky variable naming
i like my u and x
Wonky 😭
OK but I wanted to ask I more thing
If dy/dx = 1 can u write it as dy=dx
sure but in what situations
Like when I differentiated ln() wrt t
I got the differentiation and then dx/dt
And rhs is dt/dt = 1
So just make it d/dt(ln()) dx = dt
That works?
and if you arent lying yes it works
Should be d/dt ln()
rhs is dy/dz
are you having x u and t in the same problem
yes thats what chain rule says
dx can be seen as a number
Like u use usub for me it's just sub and t is general variable used
value being infsmall * x
It's just rate of change of x so it should be no
i dont rly understand the necessity to distinguish this because usub isnt a special form of sub, its just that u is how we name the subbed
"it's just sub and t is general variable used" im using u
Yeah and the variable u use to substitute is u and for me it's t but I can also use anything else
rate of change of x means dx/dt, not dx
no need to be sorry different teachers have their conventions
Oh yeah dx is infisimally small x and dx/dy is rate of change of x wrt y
but whats in the ln()? is it x or u
X
That's why there was dx in lhs numerator
did u appear on last line or is it bad handwriting
It was me butchering x
Thanks a lot
I thought it wasn't allowed to cancel dx in here because of some insta reels
d/dt ln() doesnt really work in a straightforward manner
Won't it be same as d/dx ln() but only multiplied by dx/dt
in line 3, you d/dxed rhs, so you should d/dx lhs and nothing more
Implicit functions
dont add dx/dt yet
In line 3 I took dt from lhs denominator to rhs numerator
this is done by implicit d
Yeah
if "diff wrt t" doesnt count as a line to you then i meant line 2
What'd I do wronf
I d/dted rhs
And lhs both
Like in your step 3 d/dx y = dy/dy dy/dx equating both lhs
one of my dy is a bottom, others at top
both your dts are bottoms
how
by line 3, my bottom dx became dy
in your line 2, both sides have dt as denominator and theres no reason to introduce dx/dt
There is so that we can get ___dx = dt cause rhs = 1
It would be ___ dx/dt=1
ur doing what i did in line 3
Yess
Yeah I'm extremely mentally challenged
I'm going to perform blood eagle on myself because of that

howsit look? first time graphing domain
this works fine
$x\in R\setminus \qty{-4}\cup\qty{4}$
broooooo
MY FUCKING PREAMBLE
dude
why
i dont understand the LaTex stuff tbh
what happened?
that should be a union btw
x is in the reals and x is not equal to 4,-4 which is what your notation says
yes i know
union?
or just R\{4,-4}
;(
can ya help out with restoring my preamble
specifically restoring \bR and such
I don't have a preamble loaded on texit
you can probably find one in the helper channel
your don't ping is confusing, what time zone? Also, kind of a discord noob even though i've had it forever, is pinging straight up @ing someone? or just responding like this
both @ and responding, though you have the option to disable pings for replies
replies will ping unless you disable them here
yeah im figuring that out right now
ohhhh
its just that i have maybe 10-15 pings whenever i go to sleep
which obviously is going to affect
\newcommand{\bR}{\mathbb{R}}```
yeah, i know
how can i implement it
silent mode is a godsend, but I get it. I'm a pretty light sleeper so even the buzz alerts can bother me sometimes

Why is this not a linear transformation
T(x,y,z)=(2x,-12xy+z,3y-12z,y+3x)
xy has degree 2
But you can check that it doesn’t follow the properties of linear functions. In particular think of what T(2x, 2y, 2z) would look like
I dont get how this is illegal
What do you mean look like? Try to compute it?
Well linear and degree 2 don’t really go together
Yeah. You can pretty much see instantly that the result on this term with xy in it will be a multiplication by 4, not by 2
And for linearity you need
T(2v)= 2T(V)

confused what to do
i got the exact same answer for a and b
Show?
simplifying part a i got sigma from i =1 to n (3i^2-3i+1) which i then split into 3 different thingies sigma 3i^2-sigma 3i + sigma 1 (still dont know if im allowed to even do this) then i wrote it in terms of n by googling how to represent specific summations in terms of n(i dont know how do i^2 in terms of n) and it told me that sigma i^2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 so i just plugged all those n formulas in and got 3n(n+1)(2n+1)/6-3n(n+1)/2+n then when i simplfied everything i ended up just getting that sigma i=1 to n of (i^3-(i-3)^3) = n^3
which in retrospec there was probably a easier way
im still confused what the question is asking me to do
Yea there's a much simpler way
Simplify each consecutive pair
Write out a few terms of the sum and see how they cancel
It's called a telescoping sum

can the derivative exist here? its at a discontinuity
Whats the definition of derivative?
the formula for rate of change?
cause the doubt surfaced when i was trying to see if this is true
if f(x) on [a, b] >> R is injective then f is strictly monotone
and since a disconituity doesnt mean its not injective, a discontinuity wouild allow for a graph like this one, which is injective, and not monotone
differentiability at a point implies continuity at that point
is this injective though? as you keep going to the right, won't the line with negative slope eventually cross the x axis?
Ev and I are in a call together, we were confused because desmos gave us that the derivative in f(1) = 1
lets just say it doesnt for the sake of the example
like lets say b is at the edge of the picture
were never passing calc 1 💯
If [a,b] is where your function is defined, then yeah your function is indeed injective. Bungo was just imagining how it could keep decreasing the same way outside of the window you showed us
what was your concern about differentiability? a function doesn't have to be differentiable in order to be injective
I was confused by the fact that the derivativa exists in x = 1 in the case of this function
no it doesn't exist
Indeed, the limit on the left side of f(x) when x goes to 1 isn't the value f(1)
so desmos is getting it wrong or did we write something wrong?
it's getting it wrong
the derivative is 1 everywhere except x=1
and doesn't exist at x=1
They wrote the right derivative instead of the derivative
oh ok thanks that clears things up

I dont understand how to do part 2 because the gcd is less than both numbers
or maybe im just midunderstanding
the gcd of 65024 and 128397 is 127
so how would i make an equation
127 = a * 65204 + b * 128397
where a and b are integers
did you learn anything about the extended eucliean algorithm or bezout's identity
oh yeha bezouts identity
ax+by=gcd(a,b)
idk how to find x and y though
you know how gcd(65024, 128397) = gcd(65024, 128397 - 65024)?
oh i didnt know that
you can think of it this way
theres a particular gcd of which 65024 and 128397 is a multiple of, right
yeah
now if you add/subtract the numbers, the resulting numbers would still be a multiple of the gcd, right
yeah
so does this make sense now
yeah, but how would we use it
now what we can do is
like i still dont understand how i would make such equation as 127 = a * 65204 + b * 128397
without a and b being fractions
OHHH
one can be negative
right
integers are allowed to be negative, yes
Im heading in a direction to help you find a, b, you know that right
right
even with that you took quite a bit to say that
anyways what we can do is use this to follow along with the euclidean algorithm
sorry i was doing smth
oh I see, now worries
the algorithm's first steps is essentially "subtract 128397 by 65024 until you cant anymore"
right
the algorithm then says this result should have the same gcd as before
since youll be repeating the steps until you get that gcd
right
yeah
so if we follow along with the euclidean algorithm, we would begin with:
gcd(65024, 128397)
= gcd(65024, 128397 - 65024)
= gcd(65024, 63373)
= gcd(65024 - 63373, 63373)
= gcd(1651, 63373)
if you look at the steps you did in (i), youll see the same numbers and the same calculations being used
does that check out
right yeah
yup
thats good, now say we continue along
gcd(1651, 63373)
what would the next step be in the algorithm
keep in mind Im talking about these steps, your talking about the next next step right now
so you need to state what to subtract from 63373 to get 635
= gcd(1651, 63373)
= gcd(1651, 63373 - ?????)
= gcd(1651, 635)
= gcd(1651, 63373 - 38*1651)
yep
tracking down that its 38 (the quotient) is what will get us to finding x and y
we can use some interesting thinking to beef up the euclidean algorithm to tell us x and y
ohh
dont worry about the specific details, Ill lead you there
theres a particularly clean way to do this
first off, since 63373 = 128397 - 65024,
63373 is a linear combination of 128397 and 65024, right
right
that extends to the new numbers we get: 1651, 635, etc. right
yeah
so suppose we keep track of how many multiples, positive/negative, of 63024 and 128397 we are using
the first steps of this new euclidean algorithm begin with
gcd(63024, 128397)
then we do
gcd(63024, 128397 - 63024)
gcd(63024, 63373)
and we keep track that 63373 = 1 * 128297 + -1 * 63024
does that make sense that this will lead us to the GCD
ahh i think i see
lets try on the next step
gcd(63024, 63373) and that 63373 = 1 * 128297 + -1 * 63024
now the next step would be?
1651 = 1*65024 - 1 * 63373
however 63373 is itself a linear combination of 128397 and 63024
so ultimately 1651 = ?? * 63024 + ?? * 128397, what would the ?s be
oh it would be
128397-2*65024
no wait thats -1651
ohh
its
(-1)*128397+1*65024=1651
right
since its 1*65024 - (1 * 128397 + -1 * 65024
alr i think i can finish this
thats great
now what you are looking at is the idea behind the "extended euclidean algorithm"
ah i see
its a version that uses the quotients to also write down x and y
I dont have the exact version down but I can show you what the beginning steps would be
do you want to see it
np
we first have to mildly edit the euclidean algorithm to make it more "algorithmic" or "computery"
heres what we have before:
gcd(65024, 128397)
= gcd(65024, 128397 - 65024)
= gcd(65024, 63373)
= gcd(65024 - 63373, 63373)
= gcd(1651, 63373)
now heres what it looks like after:
128397
65024
63373
1651```
the euclidean algorithm begins with two numbers
then it finds the remainder of larger / smaller and attaches it
so far two numbers have been attached
the next one would be:
128397
65024
63373
1651
635```
since 63373 % 1651 = 635 (the % symbol means "remainder" in computer programming, its name is the "modulo" operator)
you with me so far?
right yeah
now the new version will attach the "amount" of 65024s and 128397s we are using:
65024 1 0
128397 0 1```
then each new entry will do the division & remainder as usual
in this case, 128397 / 65024 = 1 remainder 63373
in other words, we obtained 63373 by subtracting 128397 - 65024
similarly we subtract 0 1 - 1 0 on the numbers on the right
65024 1 0
128397 0 1
63373 -1 1```
the idea here is the numbers on the left keep track of the usual euclidean algorithm
and subtract as usual
ohh
but the numbers on the right will keep track of the same information
we subtract rows with other rows here
instead of just one number with another number
the next row considers 65024 / 63373 = 1 remainder 1651
this method doesnt look organized on which rows its picking, had that mixed up at first
its picking the smallest two rows, forgot to say
65024 - 63373 = 1651
65024 1 0 - 63373 -1 1 = 1651 2 -1
65024 1 0
128397 0 1
63373 -1 1
1651 2 -1```
you can verify and see that 2 * 65024 + -1 * 128397 = 1651
does this next step 1651 2 -1 make sense to you
yeah
with this, you will get the gcd along with the x and y required to make that gcd
np
this makes sense
this is the extended euclidean algorithm, its useful in some ways

zero clue how to do 95
If you need a clue to start, you can start by rationalising 1+sinx/1-sinx first
You can also try using the tan addition formula for the left
by multiplying both parts by 1+sinx?
cant use that
Yes
What do you have access to?
i mean, multiply numerator and denominator by 1+sinx
because you do need to use some sort of addition formula
nvm i have access to it i just forgor
one sec
if i have to only alter one side the whole time which should i
tan side or sin side
It's pretty cool that tan(x/2 + pi/4) can be represented as the sum of two trig functions
its tan^2 btw
this is a proof question right? the sin side is much easier (in my opinion)
yes its a proof questino
ill try sin side then
Honestly, if you have to only change ONE side, I would definitely attack from tan
inverting a sum formula always strikes me as more difficult.
Mhm try rationalising it and then substitute using a random variable
got (1+2sinx+sin^2x)/cos^2x
use the definition of the tan and sec and simplify a little
ohhh like 1+sec^2x=tan^2x
you should get to (sec^2 x + 2 sec x tan x + tan^2 x)
*1+tan^2x=sec^2x
yea which is (1+sinx)^2/cos^2x
pick a variable like v and substitute it using tan x/2
And then ig you would know the rest
then you can factor to get (sec x + tan x)^2
and via the tan addition formula, this is exactly the same as the left.
i dont get what u mean by picking a variable
what does that do
ik what picking a variable means but idk how that would help
Which is, to me, significantly more mysterious than going the other way
substitution method
okay nvm ig they dont teach it in pre university in your country
oh ik what subsitution method is but do u mean substituting a value or a variable
idk how subbing a variable would help
Do you perhaps know Componendo dividendo?
no, maybe ik it but not in that name
Okay so like, if you pick a variable t = tan (x/2), you can then write sin x and cos x in terms of t.
SIn x becomes 2t/(1-t^2) and cosx becomes (1-t^2)/(1+t^2).
And then boom, it becomes muchhh easier to simplify the whole thing.
And when you are done with the simplification, replace it back with tan(x/2) and then your lhs would be equal to rhs
never heard of that one
but I get it, this might feel like a complicated thing
yea it does
not very difficult to verify
idk how its relevant
my teacher defintely hasnt taught us that and idk if she'll allow me to use it
Well it's a basic math thing, much like multiplication n division
havent heard of it ever oddly
but alr, if you do not want to try... here's an alternative
Write sin x = - cos (x + pi/2)
Start with right hand side
$= \frac{1 - \cos \left(x + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)}{1 + \cos \left(x + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) }$
yea
half angle?
double angle ? whichever it is :/
double angle i think
well :/ since you know abt it, you can proceed from here.
no the first graphic was right
so 2y in that case is x+pi/2, so y is x/2 + pi/4
... is that a thing you should be asking ?
aka sin(pi/2 -x)
for personal clarification
for personal clarification, use the double angle formula, conclude the result, and then clarify the steps ^^"

Suppose the real-valued function f with f(x)=1 for all real x except 2, where f is undefined.
Can we define an integral over that function on [1,3] ? or any other interval including 2?
Intuitively, yes we can. The area of a rectangle with "no width" is zero, so a single points shouldn't really matter to the value of an integral.
But what do we need to formally define that? Or am I misunderstanding something and it is impossible?
depends on the type of discontinuity here.
and also, the behavior of the function in a neighborhood of x=2.
constant, since the function is 1 everywhere else
It seems like just a hole
yea you can integrate it regardless of the value at x=2, even if it has no value there
A function f is Riemann integrable if and only if f is discontinuous on a set of measure zero.
So you can do $\lim_{b \to 2^-} \int_1^b f(x) \dd{x} + \lim_{a \to 2^+} \int_a^3 f(x) \dd{x}$
King Leo
a point-set is of measure zero over the continuum. So we can integrate it?
which is what i was thinking, so it can be integrable.
Yes Lebesgue-measure of one element set is zero
with the intuitive assumption being correct and the integral being the same as if f(x)=1 everywhere?
You can take it as an assignment to prove the above

isn't f(x)=1/x a simple counterexample?

No. f is not riemann integrable in [0, infty)
i sent you a message
what about boundedness
ans 7/18
hm?
use identity sin^4 theta + cos^4 theta
not bounded around 0, yes. So
f is Riemann integrable if and only if f is bounded over its entire domain and the set of its discontinuities is of measure zero.
?
Let me pull the conditions for Riemann integrability rq
But this is also wrong, counterexample being f(x)=1 except f(5)=+infinity
which can still be Riemann integrated in a way analogous to my original question.
basically hm
So then what about 1/x?
but the set of discontinuities still have measure 0, i.e., {5}
1/x is not bounded in (0, infty)
neither is this.
huh? x = 5 is a removable discontinuity
also, {5} has measure 0.
we can integrate in any set [a, b] containing {5} exactly due to that reason
Also, f(5) = infty is not a valid function . infty is a concept not a value
so if you wish to plug f(5) = infty, the only way is to plug lim_{x to 5} f(x) = infty, which then gives you a function that is not bounded and in that case you should be able to see why it's non-integrable as well
the integral diverges

what are my next steps here to finding the inverse?
well what's the inverse operation of squaring an expression?
sqrt both sides and consider a domain restriction, since y=(x+2)^2 is not one-to-one
;(
$\sqrt{(y+2)^2}=\sqrt{x}$
;(
sqrt of x-2 - sqrt of x-2
where are you getting these numbers from
i solved for y here
that would be 0
mayb, but i cannot assume
Fair
there is one method that I find really satisfying (work specifically for all quadratics)
Hint: $x^2 + 4x + 4 - y = 0$
TargetVN
kind of, i meant y=sqrt(x)-2, y-sqrt(x)-2
What's the use of the latter expression anyway
You completed your mission alr with y=sqrt(x)-2
no one asked but imma just throw this here:
what is y-sqrt(x)-2
The inverse function of $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ is the root of $ax^2 + bx + c - y = 0$.
TargetVN
ok how is this
i have something but it's not your fun way 
👍
nice
That's unfortunately not enough.
whaaaat noooooo
For example, if f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = x/2, you'd have f(2) = 4 and g(4) = 2, but they're not inverse functions, even though you got back the 2 you started with.
$f$ and $g$ are inverses iff $f(g(x))=x$
;(
One second, mistaken example.
so you have to prove that $f(g(x))=x$ which basically means to subsitute $g(x)$ into the x-input for f and see if it equals $x$.
Fixed.
;(
But f(5) = 25, and g(25) = 12.5, so you don't get back 5.
You need to prove that it works for all xs, not just one.

oh this is so sad
This just proves for one x value
f(g(x)) =4(x/4)=x
Since f(g(x)) = x the functions are inverses
I mean it's not far off from what you do it's just proves it for all x
indeed 
Which I think is honestly cooler

Physics question
the answer is 800m
Since this is destructive interference, the path difference should be a half-integer multiple of wavelength
however since the wave is undergoing a phase change after reflection
destructive interference should occur if the path difference is an integer multiple
this means that
RH - MH = 1600 (1)
the smallest integer multiple is just 1
the answer is 800m apparently
i don't know sorry
no worries
I understand how 800 is an answer
however can't the answer just be anything
only RH - MH should be 1600?
it should be 400
The answer is 800m
i don;t understand how 800 is the answer
according to the answer booklet
800 can be one of the answers according to me
if we assume that RM and MH are equal in length
unless it doesn't work like sound?
Destructive interference should work in all kinds of waves
including radio waves hopefully
Anyways thanks for your help @vestal tapir
If anyone else can help me get at the answer of 800m, feel free to ping me. I would be on another tab
Idts it's 800m
isn't the shortest possible distance between house n mountain 400m?
yeah that does actually make sense
400m makes more sense
but this is what the book says
I am still not sure why its 2d?
2d = n lambda
for destructive interference, the path difference should be (n + 1/2) lambda
sounds wrong yeah
n for smallest n, 2d = lambda/2 gives d = 400
ohh right mb
however the wave coming from the mountain has a phase change of pi
therefore its essentially the formula of constructive interference
there's a phase change of pi, so as the second wave reflected off the mountain, we need to add the phase change of pi to the path difference due to reflection
the equation would be
2d + (pi * lambda)/2pi = (n + 1/2) lambda
alright
right lol ofc
$$2d + \frac{\pi \lambda}{2 \pi} = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \lambda$$
Edmund Cloudsley
here I'll show you why
this right?
ahhhhhhhh okay this makes sense
and the smallest n is 0
therefore
,w solve 2d + 800 = 1/2 * (800)
,w solve 2d + 800 = 1/2 * (800)
nvm
@midnight haven you missed the lambda/2 here on left side
but lambda is 1600
Yeah there corrected
where did the 800 * 3 come from ?
2d + l/2 = (n + 1/2)l => 2d = nl => for n = 1, 2d = l
1600 * (1 + 1/2) = 1600 * 3/2 = 800 * 3
yup
$2d + \frac{\lambda}{2} = n\lambda + \frac{\lambda}{2}$
right?

x/(x^2+x)^3/2
integrate
please
i cannot figure this one out
can someone give a hint on a usub perhaps that i should try
😭
$\int\frac{x}{(x^2+x)^\frac{3}{2}}\dd{x}$
kheerii
is this your question?
yes
the substitution u=sqrt(x) looks promising
after you split the denominator into two roots
neon
Substitute 1 + x^(-1)
ahh
then it's just the power rule
ah nice
wait
how can u just factor out x^2
cos the whole thing is to the power of
3/2
can u just do that ?
ohhh wait the x on top
disspeared
okok gotchu
wait but then
wouldnt it be
x^1/2
on the bottom
we factor x^2 out
so what is outside would be (x^2)^(3/2) = x^3
x on top will cancel so only x^2 remains
ohhhh
okok thanks
wait i have a questoin
cos i got the answer
but the books answers says
and i get that integrals can have differnet answers cos of the plus c
but then when i pluged it into desmos
they look different
and im not sure why
they;re very similar tho
did you substitute back in
they're the same
they shouldn't
and i added the sliders so they could match up but u see
on the lhs
they're like
flipped
yeah
that's because of the way you handled the square root
it's not a perfect antiderivative
it's because of the domain of the integrand
it's only real for values < -1 or > 0
your answer will work in both domains
$\frac{2}{\sqrt{1+\frac1{x}}}=\frac{2\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{1+x}}=\frac{2x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}$
kheerii
that's why your answers match for x>0
but for x<-1 you can't split the square roots like that

i know that resistance in parallel circuits = 1/R1 + 1/R2 ...
but we have 7 resistors here
@lucid hazel Has your question been resolved?
treat each set of three like its one resistor(bc those three are in series with eachother)
so for the top and bottom pathways, its a series of three so their resistance is 3R
the middle ones resistance is R
so 1/total resistance = 1/3R + 1/R + 1/3R

What is the probability of getting a double 6 atleast once in 24 throws with 2 dice
Case1 :- 1st die thrown with no probability of getting a 6 i.e (5/6)^24 no condition on second die
case 2:- 2nd die thrown with no 6 i.e (5/6)^24 and no condition on 1st die
since there is a repition
whose probability is (5/6)^24 (5/6)^24
so the probability of getting a double 6 atleast once in 24 throws with 2 dice is
1- (5/6)^24 -(5/6)^24 + (5/6)^24 (5/6)^24
but its not matching with the answer key
where have i gone wrong?
1- ((5/6)^24 + (5/6)^24 − (5/6)^24 (5/6)^24)
sorry for the bad terminology
oh that's what you did mb
yeah
lemme think
the value of this is 0.975
yep
well yeah, it's just wrong logic
you;re saying either there's never 6 on the left, or never 6 on the right (or never 6 ever anywhere)
but that's too restrictive
could be 6s on both sides
But this is the condition itself right,not it's complement
no that's still the complement
6 2
2 6
6 2
2 6

this is neither of your 2 cases
it's (35/36)^24

Should've tried something perhaps?
For example, plugging:

Note, x{bar} = 14 + q
You should be fine if you just expand the RHS without touching (x - q)² and simplify
could u perhaps write this down please?

got a exam tomorrow need help with this question asap
so ik
all areas have to be positive
to add them all up
but theres a negative area
and see idk what to do
Take abs value
Just make the function negative for whichever intervals the area is negative. It automatically makes the area positive.
i.e., turn $\int_1^3 f(x)dx$ into $\int_1^3 -f(x)dx$, since the function's area is negative on that interval (or, in fact, the function itself is negative).
;(
No you aren't! It just takes a bit of practice and intuition.
still no clue how to do it
it was a test i did like 3 weeks ago
got a high grade and this was one of the things i got wrong
and all my teacher wrote was it cant be negative
Oh lmao I was wondering why that last integral had bounds 3 to -4
Yes, because it is area.
I think my eyes are not eyeing
You are calculating "area", not "net area".
Net area here is similar to finding the area "under the curve" for the function f.
However, "area" represents the total, meaning that we cannot have any negative areas, else the unit itself will not make sense.
is that a mistake?
I saw wrongly
ok
thats very well said i suppose
i still havent got a clue on how to answer it
It is the standard definition
As stated here, this is the way to solve it.
Do you know what absolute value does?
