yo could somone pls provide some assistance with this q pls in the box is what ive got so far
theres a couple ways to do this; you can navigate the board mentally using only those moves and write down the moves you make as you go, or turn it into a system of two equations
which would you be more comfortable doing?
i would like to do it as a system of two equations as that is what they recommended
like ik with vector math its js 3 down and 6 right but like we dont have those vectors defined js these topsy turvy x's and y's which is annyoing icl
thats actually the full equation
oh what-
since x,y are vectors
oh wait true
$x=\begin{pmatrix} x_1 \ x_2 \end{pmatrix}, y=\begin{pmatrix} y_1 \ y_2 \end{pmatrix} $
lyric
ye
i js cant visualise how i can get to 3,6 from there by multiplying to the x and y vectors
coz ive enviosned how to get there like step by step using the addition of those vectors
and if i js sum them up i get
-2x+y
we can see that's not correct
ohhh wait yeah ok i was like thinking of each move being individual not vectors adding up my fault
i still dont get how im meant to figure out a and b tho
i genuienly cant visualise it
solving the equation would avoid having to visualise it
or, you can use some drawing software to track moves and try figure it out there
yeah but how can i solve for two variables with one eq ):
well, $$ax+by=\begin{pmatrix} 6 \ -3 \end{pmatrix} \quad\implies\quad a\begin{pmatrix} x_1 \ x_2 \end{pmatrix} + b\begin{pmatrix} y_1 \ y_2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}6\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$$ $$\therefore \begin{pmatrix} ax_1+by_1 \ ax_2+bx_2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \ -3 \end{pmatrix}$$
lyric
this gives two equations
nw
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i got it gng
i realised u can js find x and y
by finding the distance of each one
ty for ur help

guys how to find critical region by binomial distribution?
i tried converting binomial to normal distribution and got x<=5.342 but i think it's wrong
Why're you converting it though?
it says "use a binomial distribution"
You can directly just calculate those P(X <= [number]) straight out of the Binomial
This too

im trying to use the z = (x̄ - μ)/ (s/ sqrt(n)) formula to find x̄
bcs thats the only way i know
ooooo
wait
kuromi necklace
i thought critical region is like the point in the distribution where it becomees rejected so we have to find that point to find P(X>=critical region) for the type 1 error?
yes
yes
Right, so I would imagine you have a Casio scientific calculator for this
omggg, that's so cool!! more kuromii~
so cute
@quick star @cinder flower Elsewhere, please
Yes
Whether the typical Classwiz one or the CG50/100 one, both of those have the distribution calculation option (that you should be familiar with from when you started the binomial distribution chapter earlier on)
Can you get the casio tho?
If you're asking about the direction of the inequality though, look at your hypotheses from (a) - it's one-tailed, and the H1 here is less than 0.2, so our CR has to look at being less than some value
I can't say for sure that OP is in the UK, but if they are [guessing again from the paper being an A Level which is typically a UK qualification#], they're a) sold in quite a few places, and b) bulk-bought in by a lot of secondary schools (esp. the graphing calculators)
idk where @short orchid's gone, though
Yeah true, anyways we mostly do statistics by hand in asia
Good for you
But maths exams at this stage don't test your computational skills; though you can do them by hand (and in some cases you are taught to, because some questions are algebraic in nature so a calculator wouldn't work), that's not really the point of the paper
@short orchid Has your question been resolved?
Ok guys im back
Yes
Yes rejection region is on the left
Yes we dont use calculator for the distribution but it’s nice to know that theres a function about it in my calculator
I dont understand why we can do P(X<number) directly
Binomial CD if you're using the Classwiz

from what I understand it wants us to find the biggest cylinder contained in the frustum. Wouldn't that always be the height of the frustum and the radius of the top part. I don't see where h is playing a role
hey
@royal galleon Has your question been resolved?
h is part of the dimension of the shape.
you plug a number in for the shape, you get the volume of the cylinder that can be cut from the log of that shape with h in its parameter.

need someone patient to help cause I'm slow at algebra atm
idk where to start
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
2^3(x)?
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
yep
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
or the fraction would turn into: $\frac{2^{3x}}{2^y}$
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
what exponent rules could be applied here
since its being divided maybe subtract the exponents?
yes!
ohh
so we have 2^3x—y
yes
OH AND 3-Y IS 12

yo i plugged 3t into this function what did i do wrong
(3t)^3 is not equal to 3t^3
,tex .exp rules
riemann
is there another rule thing like this for fractions?
like 3t/2 woudl be the same as t * 3/2 right
yes 3t/2 = t * 3/2, but it has nothing to do with exponents
just commutativity of multiplication

I'm not sure how to get started with this one
Suppose the stone started with velocity 0 ft/sec
Did it help?
let me write it down real quick
ok
am I heading in the right direction with this?
Yeah
so from here how do I find S0? or is this just it? (do I divide by 32??)
Look, you have to use the equations S(t) and S'(t), in order to solve the problem.
I'm still writting the complete solution
ok, can I show you what I have come up with?
checking
Your only mistake was setting S0 at t, it should be S0 at t0.
It makes a lot of difference
If you substitute S0 as 32t, in S(t), it's describing an initial height which changes with time.
It's not the physical situation
And we should have -(185+S0)/32=-t1
so the negatives will cancel out
@narrow breach
gotcha, I'm gonna try re-writing that so I can understand the process a little bit better
Did I do something wrong? when I was doing t1 I got the fraction as a positive
nothing wrong in this picture
am I missing something? I dont see how your fraction is negative
I've made a mistake in the photo and I corrected it here.
ohh my apologies I over looked that
-(185+S0)/32= - t1
I'm having a hard time understanding these next few steps you have done
I'll explain
it looks like it's not an easy exercise
The equations seem to be describing a building next to a cliff.
a building which has a height S0=64 ft
and the cliff's height is over 600 ft
because when you are at the time t0=2, your velocity is 0, right?
If your initial speed was 0 ft/sec, and your final speed is -185 ft/sec, considering the original equation S(t)=-16t²+S0, that is the conclusion.
Unless the exercises gives you other information.
@narrow breach
Yes, that's right
ohh is this a factoring situation?
The negative altitude means that the rock fell under the building's floor level.
indeed
you just missed a t0
it should be -16t0(t0-2)
Without more context info, that's a difficult math/physics question for beginners.
yea my prof does this quite a bit from what I've heard
If you've got more questions, feel free to ask for help.
is this an Sn ?
S0
gotcha
my handwritting is a bit odd today
the S(t) is just one of the Torricelli's equations
S(t1) is the value of Torricelli's formula at t=t1
how did you get the value for the 735.76ft?
I'm terribly sorry, I've made a stupid mistake at the first solution. We need to use S'(t)=-32t, instead of S(t)=-32t+S0
the solution is much easier
it's about 535 feet tall building
The derivative of the constant S0, should be 0
There's no cliff in the problem, the building is really tall
@narrow breach
I double checked this time
it's alright, thank you for checking. I'll just read through this real quick
let me make sure I know the proper steps real quick. So first I set v(t) = s'(t) to get t1 then I plug that into the original formula and set it equal to zero to find the height?
decent handwriting
Yes, and when you substitute t1 in the original formula, you have to consider that S(t1)=0.

where did i go wrong
the ans in book is 29.2
i have tried like 3-4 times still making some mistake
both your sum of f_i and your sum of f_i \cdot d_i are wrong
your f_i is especially noticable. 8+9+10 already sum to a number higher than 25, let alone the other ones in the column
ahh i dont know how did i mess up so bad lmao

thank you
there is a y*2x in the middle of the top line
no hyeah but the thing im supposed to differentiate is
x²y + 2y³ = 3x + 2y

is this what you're wondering about? (ignoring the middle 2 scribbled out lines)
product rule on x^2y

hello
i am trying to find the right term
adding, minus, multiply, and divide
what is the term describing these things
arithmetic
arithmetic computation
operators?
is that it?
it's not a commonly used term as far as I know
if I were doing some equation solving, I could not avoid arithmetic computation
what is the more common term
I mean this sounds fine, though I don't have all the context
I am writing an essay which revolves around how repetitive tasks can lead to cognitive bias.
One example is constantly doing this "fundamental operations" can lead to a biased way of thinking.
one may confuse a dash sign in an essay with the minus sign in an equation
Ah ok yeah in that case maybe the arithmetic operations or something
Or you might just need to write them out idk any universally recognized name for them
Basic arithmetic operations
They are called operators
The symbols themselves are not computation
+, -, / or whatever doesn't do anything
It just tells you what to do
And the process of "doing" is called computation
@naive dirge Has your question been resolved?
they are just functions
we call them operators because they don't look like functions with ()
and cuz they are so basic

any hint plz ? i aint sure if my approach is ok
are you forbidden from using a calculator to compute 1.04^2 ?
are you sure?
no
computing 1.04^2 is possible entirely by hand
at that point a calculator is just a shortcut
by replacing 1.04 with 1.1 you are making your bounds much worse
ok , but choosing 1.04 gives 0.5408
which is certainly better
continue like you did
you should see what equation you ultimately have to solve
you mean it goes (1.04)^3 then 4 then 5 until i get what i need ..
yes but dont forget the factorial thats building up in the front
btw is using ln(1+x) could maybe let me avoid using calculator?
oh whoops I didnt even notice that you arent using ln(1+x)
you should definitely use ln(1+x)
oh
but the computation is essentially the same

The question a is to find the area of the triangle
This is my working
According to the textbook my answer is wrong, it should be +96
I am unsure where my error is
My answer was x^2-12x-96
... And how did you get to that
Literally just one line written on the bottom right
The area of the square is 12 x 16 = 192
so what happened to that 192 in the end?
I added together the area of the smaller triangles , then subtracted them from the total
Well incorrectly it seems
Would be nice if we would see the work where you did the adding and subtracting
I dont see that 192 used later anywhere
The triangles are labeled as A2 A3 and A4

Alr so this is f_x and f_y
idk how to find the critical point through the denominator
how do i get a point from this weird equation
$\frac{a}{b}=0 \implies a=0$
artemetra
I also have to tackle the case of partial derivative being undefined
why
The denominator will be zero in that case
Read my question please
why would an undefined partial derivative mean a critical point?
my textbook says so
interesting ok
complete the squares for x and y
are there any restrictions on the domain
cuz this has infinitely many solutions
idk man
how so
oh actually! important point: they say "either or does not exist"
so exactly one must exist
but if this is zero then both partial derivatives do not exist
I don't think this is how it's supposed to be interpreted
It's quite common to have the critical points be those points where derivatives aren't defined
As soon as at least one of the partials isn't defined you can classify that point as a critical point
nah both can be undef too
In this case they just get a whole hyperbola worth of critical points (that come from the undefined partials)
how are you guys innterpreting this 😭
i don understand
hm it's weird wording then
This is the equation of a hyperbola
yeah
yes that's the only way
but how are there infinite points
It just means any point on this hyperbola is a critical point
You can still check for those where the partials vanish
all of these points satisfy the equation of the hyperbola
Then critical points will be those points on the hyperbola where your partial derivatives don't exist, and those points where they are both 0
but all points on the hyperbola make this term zero right?
This isn't really surprising though this is just where your f(x,y) = sqrt(blahblah) vanishes
But yes, there are infinitely many critical points
so how do i find the critical points for this function
how to write the answer i mean
im getting (2, -3) from the numerators btw
You just say the critical points are (2,-3) and those points satisfying the hyperbola equation
what if i am also asked to determine the extrema
how can i check infinite points then
Well your function is nonnegative
And it’s 0 on this hyperbola
So all of the hyperbola would have minimums
So you would just do your analysis as always to classify the points where the derivatives vanish and go back to the points where they don’t exist to classify those too using other means
ermm im lost
how did you determine this btw
The denominator in your partials
It’s exactly f
So the critical points on the hyperbola satisfy f(x,y)=0
oh so all the points will give absolute minima = 0
i see
Yes

do i have to mutliply -2 with everythng here?
only one of the brackets.
and for the rest i can just multiply -2b with 1/2b and 2 with -1/2?
you're missing a couple of multiplications there

can i just do(a^2-b^2)
how does that help here
this simplifies nicely im not going to lie
you don't have a + sign and you don't have the right numbers to do so
that being said I see another helper eager to take over, so in the interests of not flooding you with extra text I'll let them take over
okay so how do i solve (-2b+2)(1/2b-1/2)
can you see what you can factor in the second bracket?
the 1/2 and -2 cancels out to -1
what is infinity+1 bc me and my friend are arguing abt this

!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
and for your question, it's undefined because infinity is not a number
how is -2 relevant tho in this factoring
Thank you
Yea sorry
you had a -2 as a factor of your original question
yes i already multiplied that wth my first bracket
oh, i was talking about the original question
Dont multiply with first bracket , try to make the expression more simple by getting rid of ugly stuff like fractionw, multiply with second bracket
so leave the -2 out for now?
or you can factor 1/2 out as i said
would still give the same result
either way is fine
but wait there gotta be a way to solve (-2b+2)(1/2b-1/2)
just by multiplying with each other?
or am i stupid
Guys....
technically that would give you the same result, you aren't stupid
the thing is that it would get messy pretty quick
so we tend to look for cleaner methods
is it possible that x+x⅔(±√5^4.7) = 573^√56

oh okay
so then we have (-2b+2)1/2(b-1)
for a clean method, don't multiply the -2 with the first bracket
and do notice that -2 * 1/2 = -1
i got you now
but do i have to multiply the -2 with that? its after the bracket
uhh no
your -2 got disappeared after multiplying with 1/2
yes but you can do that? wait
you can just multiply like this?
yes
damn ok i didnt know that
and then you have -1(b-1)(b-1)
and then you can do (a^2-b^2)
?
@daring bay Has your question been resolved?
yeah
i can just do b^2-1^2
so what does that become?
oh
im not sure
$a \cdot a = a^2$
b^2+1
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
so $(b - 1)(b - 1) = \dots$
no again
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
wait you do everything in the bracket times everything in the other bracket right
in this case, imagine your $b - 1$ as $a$ in the case above
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

when you are telling a story to someone you might name a man in the story bob just to give him a name to refer to. the listener won’t know who exactly it is, just that it’s a man. when you are ‘telling a story’ about a number you might name it x. it’s some number

Q7. Prove Pascal's Identity with logical steps.
i have an extremely simple proof for ts
go on
dont you just add the fractions together do some manipulation and it becomes nCk
can you write pascals identity at least
i can write it but idk how to use latex
then expand it into the definition
js do it on paper
${n\choose k}$ is the number of size $k$ subsets of ${1,2,\ldots,n}$. a subset either includes $1$ or it does not. there are ${n-1\choose k}$ subsets that don't include $1$, and ${n-1\choose k-1}$ subsets that include $1$. hence $${n\choose k} = {n-1\choose k} + {n-1\choose k-1}$$

I just need these arguments clarified
Are they correct becuase to me clockwise is negative and anticlockwise is positive
you can always add 2 pi to make a negative angle positive
I was just thinking for the last one in the fourth quadrant
Wouldn't it be -tan^-1(-3/3)
Because it's going clockwise
no negative sign
I don't understand why
-45
ok so -45 degrees or -pi/4 radians
Yes
that's clockwise 45 degrees
so it's already negative
why do you need another negative sign

Is Q3 fine so far
@cinder flower what's your verdict on the handwriting here
I know the writing is a bit ambiguous but
This current step feels so unelegant that my spidey math senses are ticking off
Something doesnt seem quite right
show how you got dy/dtheta and dx/dtheta
Good handwriting
thanks

I feel like we should focus at the question on hand
hopefully ms. slaya approves of the handwiritng

the curvy calligraphy is almost decent but the messiness really detracts from it. i think the messiness is partially caused by the pencil lead size being too big for the size of the writing, but also just some carelessness and poor strokes. like those equal signs are so careless. overall, mid
It's good
i was rushing lol
wait i have a better one
Hey, you're writing is fine 🫂
Positive vibes all around
im not satisfied until slayla approves
I'm gonna be the head of handwriting soon
this changes things
i cant read any of that
you would still benefit from a smaller pencil lead i think. i might call it beautiful had it been written with that. but it's better than the other one

can somebody teach me this?
NH3 is neutral I’m pretty sure
It’s ammonia
So the Cu is what gives the whole thing its +2 charge
So if we take NH3 we know its charge is 0
I thought NH3 has a charge of -1?
Does it?
Isn’t it NH4+
Then when u lose the H it’s just NH3
Based on my assumption of it being neutral tho, each H has an oxidation number of +1
So the N must have a number of -3
For NH3 to be 0
So my guess is A
Not a chemistry expert tho
yeah the answer key says A
but I'm kinda confused how oxidation works here
For neutral molecules, the oxidation number is 0
And H has an oxidation number of +1
bro this server is fucking useless
these charges comes from the periodic table right?
The +1 charge of H?
Yeah ig
basically for all the rules of oxidation
H in general always has a +1 charge in these problems and O has a -2 charge
like for O, halogens etc
There is some exception where H can have a -1 charge but I forgot what that is
Metal Hydrides
Yeah, i understood
ok guys
eh can someone explain to me
this qn
I'm still quite confused
how we apply the rules of oxidation here
One rule of oxidation is that if the molecule is neutral, its net oxidation number is 0
NH3 is neutral
So it has an oxidation number of 0
And some things have a set oxidation number, check if your book has a table for this
Another rule is that H has an oxidation number of 1 expect in the case specified above
For example hydrogen is usually +1 except in metal hydrides
Yeah
Oxygen is usually -2 except in peroxide and shit
oh so like what other compounds are neutral?
obvious ones
That’s not something u rlly need to memorize
NH3 is the main one to memorize is neutral ig
U don’t even rlly need to memorize is because u alr know NH4+
my book gave me Na+ = +1 oxidation, Cu2+ = +2 oxidation state, Br- = -1 oxidation state and O2- = -2 oxidation state
You prob need to understand the idea of lewis acid-bases and what a coordination complex is
Coordination complex?
yeah, this is a metallic coordination complex
I dont believe I’ve learned about it yet
Cause bonds here are coordination bonds
What grade are you in @empty rover
U mostly just need to know some basic oxidation values and the few simple rules for these imo
And some basic algebra ig
From your username I'm guessing you're Indian. And if so, coordination complexes are grade 11-12 stuff
The problem is Nitrogen gets pretty messy because the oxidation values depend on the kind of compound its forming
plus minus 123, plus 45 iirc
I'm in polytechnic
yeah but I'm not from india
Uni?
The N is 3- right from the periodic table?
one level lower than Uni
It doesn’t always work like that tho
Which is why u can only trust a few oxidation values (H, O, and whatever else ur book gives u)
ok so let me get this straight
as long as theres a neutral compound in the formula, the total oxidation state is 0?
The total oxidation state of that compound is 0
so it makes the whole thing an oxidation state of 0 right?
For ur example for ex
Ligands of the complex in this particular case forms a coordination bond, and is neutral. This need not be a general case.
Imma try to show why NH3 can be neutral here and still bond to Cu
The whole molecule has an oxidation number of 2+ still
But NH3 has an oxidation number of 0
That’s what I meant by that compound
The neutral compound
so the 2+ comes from Cu?
Yeah
NH3 has 5 valency electrons, with a oxidation value of -3 it can take 3 +1 Hydrogen atoms
And is left with a free pair of electrons
so is it the case that since H has a charge of +1, we take 1 x 3?
Yeah
H always has an oxidation number of +1 except for metal hydrides
The fact that nitrogen is left with a free pair of electrons allows it to act as a "base"
Which means it can donate them
And for our case, that means that it can bond to the copper ion
Without actually increasing its own electron count
Since the NH3 remains neutral, the overall count remains at +2
Meanwhile the copper ion gets 8 extra electrons (with 2 free bonds still possible based on the original +2)
where it gets the 8 extra electrons from tho?
The electrons the 4 molecules of ammonia "donated"
Since you get 2 from each
Still, all this implies you know that ammonia has a free electron pair

K is an odd integer greater than 1 then k^33-k is divisible by?
I'm new on discord
dont worry
$$k^{33} - k = k(k^{32} - 1)$$Using the difference of squares repeatedly:$$k(k^{16} - 1)(k^{16} + 1)$$$$k(k^8 - 1)(k^8 + 1)(k^{16} + 1)$$$$k(k^4 - 1)(k^4 + 1)(k^8 + 1)(k^{16} + 1)$$$$k(k^2 - 1)(k^2 + 1)(k^4 + 1)(k^8 + 1)(k^{16} + 1)$$$$(k-1)k(k+1)(k^2 + 1)(k^4 + 1)(k^8 + 1)(k^{16} + 1)$$
papaop
k(k^2-1)(k^2+1)(k^4+1)(k^8+1)(k^16+1)
papaop
like this @dim parrot
{}
you wnated the solution or every passage?
we need even terms since k is odd
You need those even terms—like $(k^2+1)$, $(k^4+1)$, etc.—because they appear when you factor the expression. Since $k$ is odd, every one of those terms is an even number, adding extra factors of 2 to the total.
papaop
you understand?
But why are we looking specifically even terms?
Because those terms are the only way to find the highest common divisor.When you factor $k^{33} - k$, the algebra naturally produces $(k^2 + 1)$, $(k^4 + 1)$, and so on. Since $k$ is odd, every one of those terms is even (odd + 1 = even).Each of those "even terms" adds another factor of 2 to the result. Without counting them, you'd miss out on a huge chunk of the total divisor ($2^7 = 128$).
What is wrong if I look at odd terms?
papaop
Nothing is "wrong" with looking at the odd terms (like $k$ or $k^2+1$ if $k$ were even), but in this specific problem, there aren't any.Since $k$ is odd:$k$ is odd.$k \pm 1$ are both even.$k^2+1, k^4+1,$ etc., are all even (odd + 1 = even).
papaop
I see
is it clear?
exactly
