It is a classic result of inclusion-exclusion principle
can you elaborate please
I have to go running. The term I believe should be derangement.
okok il have a look thanks
do you wanna check the concept or shall I continue the simple explanation
sure continue
so we do this overall 52 times
so the cumulative probability is (51/52)^52
you would get a similar answer through that concept as well
do check it out
‘Tis about 36 percent btw

✅ Original question: #help-39 message
wait can you explain why its /52 each time
like since the first deck doesn't matter, the second we pick theres a 51/52 chance its not matching, then the third card can be whatever, then the fourth card there's a 50/51 chance that its not matching, im pretty sure im wrong somewhere tho
Closed by @shut flicker
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
wait reopen
but then the probs would be 1/52
no it wouldn’t
that’s incorrect
I think you should use derangements
mb I’m not thinking straight
I’ve not had good sleep for a while due to exams

f: N->N, f(n+1) > f(f(n)) for all n in N. Prove that f(n) = n
i can prove f(n) = n if i know that f(n) >=n. (prove f is increasing then get that f(n) < n+1)
i tried to do an induction with base case f(1) >=1, f(f(1))>=1, then assumed the same for k
f(k+1) > f(f(k)) => f(k+1) >= k+1
but i cant prove f(f(k+1)) >= k+1
please dont give me full answers
@dusty jungle Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Hmm have you considered trying to find a contradiction?
yeah i tried
didnt get far
well i know that if f(f(k+1)) <= k
then using my induction hypotheses, f(f(f(k+1))) >= f(f(k+1)), f(f(f(f(k+1)))) >= f(f(k+1))
One thing that might help is that for all natural numbers n,k n > k implies that k +1 >= n
yeah i used that here
Hint: Prove by induction on n that f([n,infty)) is contained in [n, infty)
so prove f(n) >= n?
It will deduce this
wait thats actually such a smart way to do it
f(n+1) > f(f(n)) , but f(n) >=n so f(f(n)) >= f(n) >= n
so f(n+1) >=n+1
by induction
thats exactly what i needed
Not by me. I found the post on MSE, and I can’t send you the link because once you open it you will see the whole proof. So I decided to take the gist of it.
Exactly
f is increased
*ing
which means f(a)>f(b) <=> a>b
so f(n+1) > f(f(n)) => n+1>f(n)
so f(n)=n
Yeah
damn but thanks for getting me the idea
ive never seen induction like that
It’s brilliant. I can’t come up with such solutions. Never have trained myself for competition questions
It says it’s a IMO problem
yeah its IMO 1977 tho
I see
off topic question tho, are competitions that important to get the opportunity to study higher math
I don’t think it’s mathematically directly relevant. Though indirectly it to some degree reflects you are very devoted to math.
So no in general but not 100 percent no

true
Look for triangles with side BC
Given a triangle ABC, M on AB, N on AC. MN parallel to BC, triangles ABC and AMN being congruent will gives you MN/BC=AM/AB=AN/AC. this case it’s all 1/2. use it
Use this on your ABC and your ABD
This is not letters in your diagram, my bad
Given a triangle XYZ, P on XY, Q on XZ. PQ parallel to YZ, triangles XYZ and XPQ being congruent will gives you PQ/YZ=XP/XY=XQ/XZ. this case it’s all 1/2. use this on your ABC and ABD
Letters changed
I gave you a statement about a pair of triangles (XPQ, XYZ). Use this on your (AME, ABC) and (BMF, BAD)
Exactly
Do again on (BMF, BAD)
Exactly
Solved
Back to my statement. XP/XY=XQ/XZ implies PQ parallel to YZ
Let me think why

for comparing the coeficients they choose OP and OA+AP
what if i choose AO+OP would that be wrong?

hello how do i find b
there are two solutions to this
what does f(bx) do to a graph, where should the intersection points be
how do i find them
whatever the angle is it is being devidid by b
yh
Where is the first peak of sin(x)?
90,1
And where is the first peak of this graph?
90,2
... ?
Ok so this graph goes down from (0,0), right?
yh
Ok, how?
You should know how to reflect any function f(x) about the x-axis
y is -2 we can time it by -1
Ok so then what's the value of a?
-1
but is 2 aswell?

Ok, then let's keep a=2 and go back a step
This graph goes down from (0,0) instead of up like sin(x), how can you fix that? Reflecting about the x-axis is not an option
why
... because you arrived at the conclusion that a must be -1 but also 2 at the same time
if i was in a exam i would not think of both ways
I'm not sure what you mean by that
Well, think of the graph of sin(x)
Yes if you follow its graph from 0, it goes up, but there is another way you can go
down?
I mean... maybe? How?
the only way i can think of it is by reflection in the x axis
Look at it closely...
I really can't say any more without solving the thing for you
showing a graph with radians might be a bit unhelpful
Closed by @rare holly
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Fair... the point is more about the overall shape though

can somone help sovle this for me
Did you graph it? The washer method should work
@random hatch Has your question been resolved?
I did graph it
But i dont know if i should solve by rotating around x axis
or y axis
because it doesnt tell me to rotate around an x axis or a y axis or a line
it just says bounded
It says about y=6, so it should be most likely around the line y=6
wait so would the cross sections be perpendicular to the x axis?
Yes, the region is being rotated around the horizontal line 𝑦=6. That means we slice the region vertically (along x), and each slice forms a washer whose area is based on vertical distances from the curves to the axis
But how do i find the volume
can you do it and i wantto see
because
first the paabola thing shape opens up forever
so like how do we get the volume of that
and also like idk what the limits would be
Hi! Before all else, did you try drawing the region?
Okay well you have,
Well, we want to rotate over the line y = 6, which is a horizontal line.
We first need to decide what formula we are going to use to find the volume. Have you decided?
No i dont know what to use
Im new to this i just started learning this yesterday
I know theres the pi(r)^2 or pi(r^2-R^2)
We have been through all of this already
Good! These formulas should be useful.
So, we want to rotate this region in red here using the formula you mentioned.
1 curve 2 lines
Good! One curve only.
Which of these uses only one curve?
Yep we do.
We can bound the shaded area using the limits of integration (which will find in a bit).
so we are findnig the integral from 0 to 1? or 0 to 6
Wait wait
huh
Before we rotate, here's the deal
There is one caveat with the integral pi(r)^2. That caveat is that the volume of rotation has axis of rotation at y = 0 (since r measures the distance from the origin to the curve).
The problem here is that the integral is not rotated at y = 0.
So we need to fix this problem first.
How might we change it so that the axis of rotation becomes y = 0? Hint: We want to apply a transformation to this entire graph. What transformation might be useful here?
Good!
That's exactly rightm
So, we want to move the curve six units down so that the axis of rotation becomes y = 0
Would you agree that you get something like this?
Note that the curve now has equation y = x^4 - 6
oh yeahhh
wait but like
im not allowed to use graphing calculators on my exam tommroow
how do i identify what if i need to do this
I mean
just if the ling we are bound to isnt zero?
Draw the graphs manually :)
wether if its the x axis or y axis
Uh i havent had enough practice to imagine the graphs in my head
I mean on paper lol
Well in any case
If you don't have enough graphing practice in general,
Then you need to do this type of transformation whenever the axis of rotation is not y = 0 or x = 0, so yes.
(For future reference, it is very important to know how to graph!)
yeppp i know...i just forgot everything over summer break from when i was in pre calc
now im in calc and im confused on everhtihign
Oof
this gonna be a one long question
It takes some time to understand the concepts so
Agreed, we havent even gotten to the expansion bit 😭
Anyway, now you might be asking - what are the limits of integration?
yeah
Well, let me ask you this: Using the formula pi(r)^2, what does this formula simplify to, if you know that y = r = x^4 - 6?
wait so the integrand is definitly pi(x^4-6)?
Squared, yep.
oh yeah the squear part
So! If you know that the integral has x in it,
What do you think the bounds of the integral are?
and since we are inegrating with to y we have to cahnge it right?
oh
i dont understand
i thoguht the intergral was from -1 to 1
Good! No your exactly right
The area of the region starts at point A and ends at point B
If you find the x coordinates of A and B,
You get -1 and 1 respectively.
So, the integral is between those two values.
As in the integration limits.
so the integral from -1 to 1 of pi(x^4-6)^2 with dx?
Yep, exactly.
are you supposed to give an exact answer
no teacaher said its okay if i round it too but idk what i did wrong
okay let me get it wrong on purpose to get the answer
explain how you got -1 and 1 in your limits
the asnwer was 54.733525342542
see she rounds it
oh cus thats where the curve intercrpts the line
the line that we dont rotate on
Hmmmm
,w integral from 0 to 1 of pi(x^4 - 6)^2/2
wait what how you get int from 0 to 1
@plush bramble I don't think I did anything wrong, I might be missing something incredible obvious.
my brain hurts
I have my exam tommrow i cannot understand this im cooked guys help me 😭
huh
When you integrate about the origin,
why we finding the blue part
You also get this volume here as well.
Exactly so,
Its an uninteded part of the area
So actually you need to use the r^2 - R^2 formula, my mistake!
wait huhhh
Okay let me explain
so r1 is going to be the y=-5
We only want this tiny red portion here, right?
Yep!
yes
The problem is,
If we directly use pi(r)^2 here,
That will be the entire distance
From the curve y = x^4 - 6 to y = 0
We don't want this though
We want only the distance from y = x^4 - 6 to y = -5.
So we have to subtract it out.
so doing top minus bottom or bottom minus top now?
wait i thought x^4-6 was the bottom function
Oh yeah but its squared so
x^4 - 6 when squared becomes larger then y = (-5)^2
I meam
It doesn't really matter how they are oriented to be honest, you can just put an absolute value sign on the final integral.
ohhhhhhh so algebraically its bigger so we use that as the top function?
oh
hahahaha
Yep!
okay so igot this one wrong and i cant redo it so im gonna generate a new question and try to solve it
Yeah that's my mistake sorry
I should say
can you find out the answer and then when im finished ill see if im correct
Do r^2 - R^2
Sure!
As a check, the number of your answer that is before the decimal places should be a multiple of 9.
i got 27.5967354668
Yep that looks about right
Well,
Remember that r just means radius
So
In other words, r means distance.
So,
What is the distance between the axis of rotation y = 3 and the curve y = x^8?
uh y=x^8?
Hint: What is the distance between y = 3 and y = 0?
-3
Yep, I assume you mean 3 (Distances can only be positive)
Howd you get that?
Oo okay well
Whats the distance from y = 100 and y = 500?
ooooo dang im slow
What is the distance between y = 3 and y = x^8?
You're fine :)
x^8-3
Just don't be slow on the exam lol
Exactly.
I try 😭
So whether you remember to shift the grapb down
ohhh so that was our equation
Exactly.
so
1 more, this looks hard beuase of cosign 😭
wait is it just pi/14?
no im slow
we know that we are integrating from 0 to pi/14 right?
I got this
Looks about right 👍

Maybe I don’t get the intuition behind it, please could I have some help
What do I do with the information
So I see that 10^k is congruent to 4mod6
I have done thus far
But I don’t rly get what this tells me
Like the general idea behind it ig
if you write 10^100 a 6c + r then
10^(10^100) = 10^(6c + r) = 10^r mod 7 by fermat
Ohhhhh my
Tysm 😭
Nah that’s frustrating, how did I not spot it
It just felt oveeprwhelkmg w the information

Hey there! Need some help with understanding this division
which one
13 and 14 mainly
Mhm!
hm
so
verbally, tell me what you understand from
n * k
(a bit off but just making sure you get get get what multiplication is)
and by 'tell me what you understand' i mean, describe this notation to me. what does it say?
what is it trying to denote?
we can start with smth easier, what is 2 * 3 trying to denote?
2 x 3? Or the exponents
oh yeah 2 x 3
but- since x is what we usually call our variables, in discord, we denote multiplication with *
and on paper too!
In the best way u can describe it a way of adding but instead of going 2 + 2 + 2, 2 x 3 is much simpler
Ok, great!
Thank you bro ^^
Since it’s an exponent times a variable I assume it would be 5n?
okay lets just get to the point of all this
basically what im trying to say is
multiplication is the process of repeated addition
as you said
instead of 2 + 2 + 2
we say 2 x 3
for the sake of simplicity!
so when we have
n x 5
we are trying to repeat addition n five times! n + n + n + n + n
which is simplifed to 5n!
(correct)
Right!
aaaaaand if we have something like n x k
we are trying to denote
'n added to itself k times'
if you dont get it, its fine.
you'll need that like- 2 years from now!
alright
lets get onto exponents!
what do you think n^2 is denoting?
^ is how we denote 'raised to the power of' in discord
N times itself once ?
well... that's an interesting way to say it but yeah! correct.
just like multiplication being repeated addition for simplicity
there we go
instead of denoting n * n
we said its 'n multiplied by itself once'
so for the sake of simplicity
we said n^2
which means 'n multiplied by itself once'
ok
so if we have smth like
n * n * n * n
how do you think we'd do that
with exponentiation notation
hm, how about we rephrase with exponentiation is
It's repeated multiplication.
instead of saying
n * n * n * n * n
we say
'this is n, repeated 5 times with multiplication. and thus, we'll write it as n^5'
so if we have 7 * 7 * 7
we can say
'this is 7 repeated 3 times with multiplication, so 7^3'
are you with me?
I think so, yes
ok lets start from the very beginning
we thought
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 +2
looked VERY ugly and it took up TOOO much space
so instead of writing it like that
we decided to create a process, something we do to simplify this ugly expression.
and we named this process, 'multiplication'
we said, we're gonna use multiplication to represent repeated addition, just bc of how ugly it looks!!!!
Right !!
so there, we have
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 +2
which is 2 repeated 6 times with addition.
so instead of saying
2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2- EW TOO MUCH TALKING
we say
it is
2 TIMES 6
which means 2 added 6 times
I dont wanna use 'added to itself 6 times' bc that would be incorrect.
just know '2 added 6 times' means adding up six 2's
are you with me?
Yes!
perfect
so 6 added 7 times or 'adding up six 7's'
....
I didnt mean for that to happen 😭
I swear 😭
ok changing the two numbers
12 added 8 times
LOLLL
how would you represent adding one hundred 8's?
you wouldnt dare to...
8+8+8+8+8... because that is toooo much
how would you denote it instead?
with our fancy x (multiplication)
were you here the whole time? or are you doing something on the side?
x not ^
Just studying while reading this!
yeah well- I'm not sure if this is a discord issue but...
it is 8 x 100
^ is used for something we didnt discuss yet!
Oh yeah sorry, that was on me lol
I see!!
mhm mhm
so how'd you go on about adding two billion 2's?
(I'm being sarcastic... but if you want to, you can try. if you dont want to, we can move onto our next topic)
2 x 2,000,000 ect
hm
first of all, a billion is nine 0's. which is on me
no one deals with billions these days anyways
second of all, a billion is 1,000,000,000
not 2,000,000,000
ok just
dont bother with that example
its unrealistic
you said two billion, so 2,000,000,000 would be correct
Denotino?
oh FUCK
Denoting *
I didnt- okay
@topaz pecan goodjob boo- the only mistake is that a billion is written with 9 zeros not 6
sorry for that
It’s ok!!! Everyone slips up every once in a while LOL
It's 6am, excuse me.
representing 'adding 5 n's with multplication!
Oh right !!
you can do this! know that n is just any other number... we just dont really know which one so we say n.
Ok, that would just be 5 x n, right?
YES!
absolutely
you've got the hang of it!
so if i say 'adding 10 n's with multiplication'
that's just 10 x n
adding 912830129381093821 n's is just
n x 912830129381093821
and so on!
ok
now
we grew up!
we became concerned with something that is just as ugly as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
repeated... MULTIPLICATION!
Right, I see!
disgusting stuff that are like
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x2
that again, takes too much space
so now we're creating a process to write ' 2 multiplied by itself 5 times'
that phrasing isn't very accurate, but we'll go with it.
alright!
so we decided to pick a fancier name for this operation
we called it, exponentiation!
so
instead of having this disgracful piece of shit that is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x2
we can say, 'this is 2 multiplied by itself 5 times' which translated to
2 TO THE POWER OF 5
now, idk why we used the term 'power'
but- english people did it and so will we
so 2 TO THE POWER OF 5 just means 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
also, order here matters A TON
saying 5 TO THE POWER OF 2 means 5 x 5
which is NOT equivalent to 2 TO THE POWER OF 5
but still... we didnt solve the redundancy problem of 'too much writing'
actually, before i get to the next point,
@topaz pecan what is 12 RAISED TO THE POWER OF 4 written like
in the disgusting form.
Ok
Ok
Twelve to the four
In its worst possible form
Is 12 x 12 x 12 x 12
Right??
YEAH
EXACTLY
so now we can get rid of the worst possible form by simplifying it!
now discord wont let me do this properly so give me a sec
wait
$12^4$
car
ONG
W
car you are doing awesome
1-
alright! so remember, something RAISED TO THE POWER OF something
means we write the first something on the bottom-
actually
lets say we have a number called sarah
and we wanna raise it to another number called patria
when we want to write this
in the simplified form
we do
&(sarah)^(patria)&
bro
OH THE
$(sarah)^(patria)$
what the fuck?
ok lets rename our numbers... sigh
again
if we have a number, lets call p
and we wanna RAISE IT TO ANOTHER number called k
the way we'd write it is
$p^k$
car
now notice something here
in the phrase 'p RAISED TO THE POWER OF k'
p came first, k came second
whoever comes first is the 'base'
is the number that's the other number is gonna be on top of
and the number that came second
is the 'exponent'
which is the number that we put ontop of the base
so
4 RAISED TO THE POWER OF 7 (which is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4)
4 came first, we put it as the base
$4$
You need curly brackets
car
7 came second, so we put it as the exponent
${\text{sarah}}^{\text{patria}}$

I just wrote my first latex text 2 mins ago 😔 but ty!
wait a minute...
@topaz pecan are you- there...
Yeah!! Just reading this out right now
you might get the most benefit if you're active interactive with me! but as you wish
Ah my fault then, sorry! I just didn’t know when to interject, I didn’t want to interrupt you🙏
you def have the fulllll right to interrupt me if ANYTHING DOESNT make sense
so- does any part of what i explained make sense to you?
oh my god i keep phrasing it incorrectly
did anything NOT make sense to you?
Yeah it can be a bit annoying but just use curly brackets in place of parentheses, and when you really need curly brackets, you can escape them by putting backslashes
No no it all made sense!!! Your doing great so far, all very helpful
lovely!
would you mind writing

Oh also
@topaz pecan once you ask people here, please describe what part of the video confused you
Sure!
Because it might be hours or days later that you come back to ask, and by then we may be sleeping or unavailable or something
So it might be a different person
Thank you so much for all the help @nocturne grail, really appreciate it <: )
Course !
And so you want to make sure that they can understand your question quickly, so give them any necessary context

hm
difference of cubes maybe
try multiplying the numerators and denominators of each of those by something so that you can get a difference of cubes factorization on the denominator
for example $\frac{1}{x^2+xy+y^2}=\frac{x-y}{x^3-y^3}$

i was thinking something along the lines of this 😭
how does this help tho
let's take the first fraction
if you rewrite the denominator, it's $\frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{1})^2 + \sqrt[3]{1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2} + (\sqrt[3]{2})^2}$
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
@tawdry solar
Yeah
you can do the same for each other fractions
and then it's easier now
Alr thanks
So i was relatively close right

Let H = bary{(A,1),(D,-2)}
G = bary{(A,1),(D,-2),(C,5)}
Determine the set of points M of the geometric plane such that:
-3AM-2MD+MC and HM+5CM have the same norm
(all vectors btw)
Do you have the original question
a screenshot or something
Tons of unspecified terms appear in your question. I prefer to see the original
sure
thought that H,G,A,D and C being fixed points was enough
ABC is an equilateral triangle, I and J are the respective midpoints of [AC] and [BC], D is the image of A by translation of vector BA, and K is the point such that:
B = bary{(K,4),(D,-3)}
1)a) Show that K is the barycenter of A and D with coefficients that must be determined.
b) Construct D and K
2)a) Determine the type of triangle BCD
b) Determine the type of quadrilateral AKIJ
3) (this is what i stated in the help channel for H and G)
a) Show that G = bary{(H,1),(C,5)
b) Show that I,J and K belong to a same line.
c) (the problem that i wanted to verify the answer of)
@green dew Has your question been resolved?
@green dew Has your question been resolved?
Then what’s your answer (should be a line)
Or a point
I got a point anyway, (-6m+2u+5v, -6m+2u+5v)=(6m-(10/3)u-(25/6)v, 6m-(10/3)u-(25/6)v), m=AM, u=AB, v=AC, let m=xu+yv I got x=1655 (2(u,v)=(u,u)=(v,v) are cancelled out or assume them to be 1 in the first place)
I am very bad at calculation
And I probably miscalculated it
-3AM-2MD+5MC = 3AM-2MD+5MC = (3-2+5)MG =6MG cause G is barycenter of the three points A,D,C with same coeffs
same thing to HM + 5CM
its equal to 6GM
so norm of 6MG and 6GM is always the same for any point M
so the set of M is the plane?
5CM, I misread it as 5GM
Yes. I found out that those two vectors are exactly the opposite of each other
Np, glad to confirm

Read #❓how-to-get-help for further information on how to ask a good question, and about conduct in the question channels.
how are you meant to do the first part, think it involves complex numbers
yeah, let's go with the complex number way
if you use the unit circle, hopefully you can see that cos(8pi/7) = cos(6pi/7), cos(10pi/7) = cos(4pi/7), cos(12pi/7) = cos(2pi/7)
yeah im just imagining cos curve
yeah, then you just need to find cos(2pi/7) + ... + cos(12pi/7)
but cos(2pi/7) is the real part of e^(i 2pi/7)
so this would be equal to 2(cos(2pi/7) + cos(4pi/7) + cos(6pi/7))
yes, but that's not the idea we're going with here
that is to say, if you find e^(i 2pi/7) + ... + e^(i 12pi/7)
then take the real part of that sum, it'll be the same
yep
ok so the sum equals 1 i think
careful
the sum of the roots of unity is 0
but we are missing one of the terms here
1/2?
no
we have angles 2pi/7, 4pi/7, 6pi/7, .... 12pi/7
which angle is missing?
14pi/7?
1
yeah
so are cos2pi/7 + ... + cos12pi/7 equal to -1, since this plus cos14pi/7 = 0, which means that since we only want 2pi/7 to 6pi/7, we divide by 2, to get -1/2
yep! that's the reasoning

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

polynomial long division
I forgot to send the whole question
My apologies for the sarcasm
or
nvm
so I have to do polynomial long division
But i dunno what to do after
,,\polynomlongdiv{x^4-3x^3 -5x^2 +x-7}{x^2 +5}

Compile Error! Click the

(You may edit your message to recompile.)
Well i did it in my Books
And I got remainder x-7
so what does that make you think
if there was no x-7 term on the polynomial, it would be divisible by x^2+5
right
yeah

so it has to be 0?
-5x^2 - ax-b=0?
idk wym
If you did the division
and the remainder was ax+b
when would x^2+5 divide that remainder
when its 0?
Division looks wrong
any other times?
idk
you want to multiply the quotient component to the whole divisor,
Not just the leading/whatever comes first
wdym
in that first iteration, you indicated subtraction by x^4
But you need to subtract
x^2(x^2 + 5)
why?
Or x^4 + 5x^2
Because that's how the division algorithm eorks
the leading term cancels, and you repeat until the degree of the remainder is lower than the divisor
the degree will be the same no?
Wdym
x^2 and x^2
those have the same degree, yes
much better
Now what?
Now what?
consider an example with numbers
88/9
would be 9 remainder 7 right?
Yeah
now know that, what could you subtract from 88 so that the remainder would be 0
7
Subtract (16x +43) from P(x)?
Yes
So the original function?
Yes, subtract from the original polynomial
a=-15, b =-50
Yep

lwk
how does one differentiate the sqrt of xy
implicit differentiation just makes zero sense to me
chain rule
do you know the derivative of xy wrt x?
is it, um, y dy/dx?
not quite
x+y?
nope
😔
so there shouldn't be any confusion for sqrt(xy) now
yea but use parentheses
(1/2)(xy)^(-1/2) * (y+xy')
yep
ok good
and then the derivative of x-4y would be 1-4y'?
perfect
ok
so if im asked to use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx of sqrt(xy) = x - 4y, would the answer be
dy/dx = xy/4sqrt(x)?

Hello i have my final tomorrow and am really struggling with learning the concept of laplace and how to do it as well as vocab like basis subspace an etc
Do you know the definition of Laplace Transform? Have you memorised the core Laplace Transforms you must know?
I need help with discrete math
I know like the intergal equation and we get a sheet on the test I just don’t even know how to like
what it does exactly? Or how to match terms with its laplace
Please open your own channel. See #❓how-to-get-help
Since your exam is literally tomorrow, I would suggest that spend your time learning how to match terms and execute the steps. Understanding comes later.
Okay that’s true
It’s just hard bc I’ve found no YouTube video that helps any like
Suggestion
I think you can search for something like Laplace transform solved examples, for example.
To be honest, you don't have enough time to fully understand all of this...
Walk through one exact problem step by step and identify the areas you don't understand.
If you want a tip, just try to understand the laplace transform table
Inverse laplace transform is basically always partial fractions decomposition
So work on that as well
To be honest, id treat it like learning derivatives once again. Id say you first learn the formal definition and understand why we do it, then just learn the tables and practice a lot.
I think my college has a pdf with like 30 ex.
But also if you can't remember most of the properties, deriving them from the definition
[
\LLL{f(t)} = \int_0^\infty f(t)e^{-st}\dd t
]
Isn't too bad
I love you. Thank you sm
For the advice
It’s cuz
My exam 3 had a question
asking us to use the intergal way vs the worksheet
and idk I just really blanked bc
i didn’t know how
and the laplace one was like a higher order ode non homogeneous
So is the sheet like a short cut of doing it from the integral basically
Similar to how derivatives tables are just the solved limits
Yeah all IVTs should turn into algebraic equations you have to solve in the frequency domain
Where you again have to do PFD
Yeah, the laplace table is just solutions people find just so we dont have to do the integral 1000 times
OH similar to derivatives is a great way to describe it holy wow
That’s great thank you guys I have a few more questions if that’s okay
I have some solved example slides if you want some
