Please explain why is the drawing the way it is
it might help to understand what the drawing is actually meant to show
here the drawing is just the region S that you're integrating over
which corresponds to [0, pi/2]x[0, pi/2]
the drawing doesn't convey any info about the integrand
Thanks, I do know this.
I meant this: "it might help to understand what the drawing is actually meant to show

"
However, what I don't understand is:
why is pi/2 where it is.
this is not a coordinate system, is it
we're just viewing S as a subset of the xy plane
so like the x coordinate is in [0,pi/2]
as is the y coordinate
pi/2 is a number
we're not considering pi/2 as an angle here
it is just a number

Hi,how'd I find the mean here? Can I just ingtegrate from theta t infty
that feels sus
I'm getting a mean of 1?
could you show your work i only managed to simplify and i think youd have to work with limits
$\alpha \theta^{\alpha} \int_{\theta}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^{\alpha}}dx$
the mean is xf(x)
yeah you wont get a numeric value i think
Wai
yea, gives us , uh
a > 1
$\frac{\alpha \theta^{\alpha}}{(1-\alpha) \theta^{1- \alpha}}$
Wai
really? afaik wouldnt we handle the infty lim separately
well, that goes to zero
wait this isnt checking out can you show the steps cos i think the theta term gets multiplied not divided
oh you're right
yes
so we get $\frac{\alpha \theta}{1- \alpha}$
Wai
$\alpha\theta^\alpha \left[\frac{x^{1-\alpha}}{1-\alpha}\right]_{\theta}^{\infty}$
sam beam
right
||i have not done MLE 😭 ||
so this is a pareto distribution
to find the mle of the mean using invariance, you must obtain values alpha hat and theta hat
i.e find mle's for alpha and theta
then sub those for alpha and theta in E(X) to find mu hat

Ah, cool
I thought there's some way without that 😭
unfortunately no
invariance just means this: if you are trying to find an estimate for some parameter in terms of another parameter with a known MLE, then plugging the MLE into the function produces the MLE of the first parameter
i.e g(theta) is maximized when inputting theta hat
yeah i looked into it it had something with a gamma function(?) i'll check it out after my exams
that, i am unsure of. gamma distribution is a prototypical test of making sure invariance works namely because you have two parameters, alpha beta, but thats as much as i can think of
pareto could be another choice but its a less clean dist than gamma is

im not too sure how to do part d.
I've found the coordinates for R which was (28cos(theta)/25 , -21sin(theta)/25) and I tried setting the x coordinate to be a variable and the y coordinate to a variable and rearranged both so that i could sub into the identity of sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 but i wasnt too sure how that would prove that R has the same eccentricity as the ellipse
oh and the eccentricity from part a is (root7)/4
what equation did u get when u subbed in sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1?
second fraction is supposed to have 784 on the bottom*

hello im stuck on the 1.5
Was ist Material 1
i dont have tissues but i can try to help
maybe you should integrate it
i mean you can use symmetry and the fact that the function is strictly increasing after a certain point
lets call area A(k)
thing about A(-1.5) compared to A(-0.5)
hmm
its not the same
or wdym
should i just try integrating it
i mean you can but that defeats the point fr
cuz then its trivial
its testing your intuitive understanding
of the intregral and area
as k increases
from -1.5 up until like 1 A(k) is descreasing
for how many unique k values is A(k)=4
no
wait
no
its like 5.something
you are integrating from k to k+1
so the width is always 1
they are just saying there exists
a k
between -1.5<k<1.5
s.t
A(k)=4
do it with the calculus you know
ig
then try see how that relates to the graph
thing is you can see the area is descreasing then increasing
so it goes less than 4
then goes back up to 4
but the function is strictly increasing
so A(x) is strictly increasing
A(K)*
for K>1.5
so it'll reach 4
then just keep blowing up
so theres 1 solution
by reach 4 do u mean reaching like
4 on the y axis
wait so you can count area like that?
no like the area is 4
heres something i threw up
if you press play on the k value
it'll show you how the area we are looking at changes as k increases or descreases
if i were to freeze k at the right moment then A(k)=4
I think you paraemterized the black lines wrong
yeah it goes further than it should for k<1.5 but its to help show how happens just as k increases
It should just be x=k and x=k+1
but how can you like imagine the area like that
how can u read the area from the graph
pedantics
yo im stupid
The integral equation means "Die Fläche von f(x) im Interval [k,k+1]"
-# Let's not talk about average value here
yea
wait let me draw
so this area equals 4?
wt fman
Nyxzore
thats the integral of f(x)
why /12
4*3 is 12?
now to work out
this green area you have
i would need to integrate from -1.5 to 1.5
notice how thats 2 units long?
,w 1.5^4/12-1.5^2+4(1.5)-((-1.5)^4/12-(1.5)^2+4*(-1.5))
isn't that3
the answer is 1 k >= 1.5 because its strictly increasing
see for k = 1.5 A(x) < 4
since its less than 4 but the function strictly increases and therefore A(x) increases
there must exist a k such that A(x) = 4
and there can't be another one for the same reason
its strictly increasing so A(x) keeps growing to infinity
.
yes
but how does that HELP
for the graph thing
how did you guys figure it out in your head
This is how
My function is decreasing starting from -1.5 and i eventually got an area of 4 so i must of started off with an area > 4 then descreased until i got area=4 at k
but its keeps decreasing so my area gets <4
but then it starts increasing again
for k>1.5
so lets say its stops decraesing at Area=2.71 - made up number
itll then start increasing again for k>1.5
it stops decreasing at 1,5
so
but what does that mean
wtf
why is there only 1 solution then
cuz its strictly increasing
the area starts at some number >4 right?
lets say 5.7
i go from 5.7 down because my function is decreasing my area must be decreasing
eventually by area gets to 4
thats the k they mentioned
now its keeps decreasing to some number
lets say 2.71
and finished decreasing
yes
then my function starts increasing
then it has to increae
at k>1.5
yeah
so my area go up from 2.71
yep
passes 4 again
YES
then blows up to infty
^
obviously there can only be 1 solution right
yeah
i just gotta word it right
tysm

hello, for the 1.2
do i just calculate the inflection point like id do normally?
because i get f''(x) = 2x
you can divide both sides by 2
What is the issue here?
thats just weird
it just appears unusual
and i thought there had to be a catch because it gives 5 full points
oh yeah you still have to find the value of a and the point
how do you find the y value
is it though
Any cubic of the form x^3+px+q will have an inflection point at x=0
yeah
yeah so thats the coordinate?
Yes, that's the inflection point.
I think it's 5 points because it's saying show it algebraically
no i think that just translate dpoorly
let me check the solutions
yep wtf
damn
i thought id have to do some stuff with somelocus
when is that the case again?
locus points are relevant?

so here
can i just say (2k|0) and do 1/2k * x^2 = 0
yes
yo bro im actually starting to get a grip of sll this
okay but
1.2
do i just calculate the extremes then do the formula for distances
or
there's an easier way
I think
k is positive
idk
uhh
hint, it's when Gk=0
the zeropoints?
fk(x)=0*
how do you know that
yeah
those are now the minimum values you have so what can you say about the x value of the maximum point of Gk between both minimum points

I guess you could try to show that the function is symmetric to x=k
if k is positive
then 1/2k is positive, x^2 is also always positive, and (x-2k)^2 is always positive
ho yeah
okay so
so the lowest possible point is when the function = 0
its between them
yep
Shouldn’t u move it to the right = 1.5 and the left 3.5 goes up
the distance of the maximum is between the two minimums and equal
that must mean the x value of the maximum is perfectly in between the x-value of the two minimums
do this first
yeah
wait but
a zeropoint isnt a minimum
what's a zero point
like f'(x) =0?
have I been misinterpreting y-intercepts with x-intercepts here
f(x) =0
okay yes but
are f(x)=0
what are you not getting about this explanation
where were we
like i thought f'(X) = 0 are minmums
maximums
those can indicate minimums or maximums
key word: can
even if you have f'(x)=0, you can't really tell if they're maximums or minimums from just the slope being 0, you also can't tell if cusps or similar are minimums or maximums
yes but how r u so sure theres minimums at f(x) = 0
The idea is that it's not a necessary tool here because f is always non-negative, but also has roots, so its minima lie on the x-axis
f(x)__>__0
what's the smallest possible value of f(x)
yes so what are the minimums?
ohhhhhh
and
How many roots do you have
Nullstellen
2
name them
should i do it rq
so as nautilus said, f(x)=0 gives you here also the minima which are the "zero points" so at 0 and 2k f attains its minimum
oh shit
1/2k * x^2 = 0
that equals x = 0 right
Yes
ohhh
so now as we were talking about
I would have gone here with the derivative, to conclude that the local max lies on x=||k|| and the prove f is symmetric to x=||k|| in order to conclude same distance from min to max
by symmetry
wait i realized you actually need the distance itself
it's between 0 and 2k
like
perfectly in between 0 and 2k
what value is directly in between 0 and 2k
let k=1 what is the only number in between 0 and 2k
1
now what is 1
okay
what is perfectly in between 0 and 2k is (0+2k)/2=k
i mean but
just product rule and then you can easily factorize
oh wait it's may
wait
what
what did u do there
this assumes that we know the function is symmetric at x=k
we're essentially told that
no
nah u stay I gotta sleep
and I fear my explanations would confuse them more
why did you do (0+2k)/2k =k
Mittelwert
Both 0 and 2k are equally far away from the maximum, so you just compute the Mittelwert
the simplest way I can say this is midpoint formula
except you remove the y value
holy shit
so you basically sum them up and divide by 2
is that the distance then too?
no
it only tells you at what x the max lies
yes
im so smart man
now you can draw a triangle and use pythagoras
so then y value
wait so then
y value of middle value
and then ^2-^2
in root
x, y
Distance between two points
yea
okay but
if you randomly know about arc length formula you can decompose it into this
i do 100%
i memorized it from vectos
but
i can use the (0|0) as one point too?
sqrt(1+(dy/dx)^2)dx=sqrt(dx^2+dy^2)=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
yeah so
this is a crime against math tho
the problem is
i think i know how to solve problems, but
there could so much variation
learn adapt overcome
you do not win unless you lose first
I'm in a similar situation
I've been procrastinating studying multivariate calculus and also forgot the past lessons for the past 12 weeks
idk tho it is possible ¯_(ツ)_/¯
...?
bro we are fucked 😭
isnt adonis helping
plus how are you asking more than a question a day 💀
1.1 or 1.2
can't people ask infinite questions
no i understood it
last exam i got like 70% because i was asking hella questions
people here r really crazy
is chrue but if you are your time is better spent reading and understanding the topic
they help so much
I don't think I am my country has laughable education standards
same same
reading doesn't always help + they were curious
no
this is reminding me we have technology and we can use calculators to integrate now
waizt
im trying to derive the function
just for practicing

yo so how do i sketch the graph with like 0 info
did u read the text
yea
You got pretty much everything in Material 1
z>a for interval
then z=a at some point (notice how m behaves there too)
then a>z
yeah but how does that help
draw some lines
in the z>a the difference that remains purple, after you subtract the green is what you get for m'
Which makes sense in the interval where z>a <=> m'>0 means m is increasing but the slope flattens out as you can see at z=a
which means m'=0 so it touches the x-axis
then m decrease which means m' will be below x-axis
but notice that as m decreases it seems to flatten out again which would imply something like m' -> 0
hmm
yeah i guess but what does that line mean
for our m‘
yeah
if you do some of these you could get a rough idea
ig something like
,w plot D(x/(x^2+1)) on Plotrange -> {{0, 5}, {-.5, 1}}
stupid wolfram
the difference
You have two distances
z distance and a distance now you do z-a, if z is greater then the purple part denotes what's left when we take away the green part (distance of a)
Which is the distance from the value of m' at that point

I am stuck in last part
I found the potential line that is tangent to line and it goes through origin
I think I have to find the gradient of line
But how do I find the gradient of the line
@haughty cosmos Has your question been resolved?
@haughty cosmos Has your question been resolved?
tbf if you let $a=|a|e^{i \theta}$, then
$$az^{\ast}+a^{\ast} z=0 \implies x \cos \theta+y \sin \theta=0,$$
which is a line through the origin with normal angle $\theta$. For this line to be tangent to the circle, the perpendicular distance from the centre must equal the radius. This gives you $\cos \theta$, and so $\tan \theta$ immediately follows.

Hello i'm trying to solve this equation and after double checking everything the answers dont match, i dont exactly know what im doing wrong either
thats right
what was the right answer?
it said that the answer was 9
it's not lol
no???
,w integrate 4x+3x^2 dx from 1 to 2
whaat
By the way
The notation is a little funky
Writing 2x^2 + x^3 = ... = 13
Is incorrect
are all the answers wrong in my practice sheet then 😭
Well we can't know that 🙂
Well that is incorrect
,w integrate 6x+4x^3 dx from 0 to 1
Lol
can you show working
it said 4 in the sheet too
hold on
So all the answers are in fact not wrong
🥀
do the zeros make 1 and then it becomes 5-1?
wrong reply oops
ye but x in 4 is cube
But again
I strongly suggest working on notation
This is an integral sign
An integral sign from 0 to 1 means nothing
Like writing 7x +
Wouldnt it be that
i watched vid of organic chem tut lol thats where im writing all these from
yes
Either use brackets around [] the expression
Or a straight line |
But not the integral sign
I assume they wrote a straight line |
But yes
if we disregard notation again 😭
The first integral sign looks like an opening bracket (
oh NOW i got the answer
I do suggest working on your notation though. Not just because I like cleanly written math, which I do, but also because it will benefit you. Either on tests (though I don't know how strict your professor is), or on the exit exam (or whatever you have, where it is probably pretty strict)
i solved this but i dont understand what happened to the 5 in the middle
Though I am going to sleep now, so the person with an extremely long, unique username will probably help you
Best of luck though 🙂
thanks a lot
you should decode it before you go to sleep
chain rule
Oof, I fear my life will end before I get to sleep if I do that
could you explain that?
trust its simple
minus 5?sinus?
?
i dont exactly know
its equal to -5sin(5x)
basically we treat cos(5x) as 2 functions together
lets say y = cos(u) and u = 5x
so that y = cos(5x)
oooooh
taking derivative of y = cos(u) gives dy/du = -sin(u)
derivative of u = 5x give du/dx = 5
now to get dy/dx
you multiply dy/du by du/dx
du cancels out to give dy/dx
hence dy/dx = 5 × (-sin(5x))
this is chain rule
ooooooh i see
basically as you know integration is opposite of differentiation
so you reverse that to find integral of -5sin(5x)

I was able to mostly do these problems but I don’t know I am supposed to know what x and y represent after I find the max or min using my graphing calc
For which question, 1 or 2?
2
The question is for OP.
Both and just in general
For the first one, you got $V=\frac{90x^2-x^4}{4x}$
Mercury.
Then, if you chuck in the calculator, V should be y, and x still be x.
It just the change of variable's name.
Yea I just don’t understand how I would know on like a test the y value is the volume
Depends on what the situation the question is asking about.
mercury uer not being very helpful tbh
I just don’t know how to figure it out like on a test I would have no idea
Okay? Are you contributing any?
Wait on the second one I am confused why are we inputting the x value into the r value to find the height
y would be whatever you're finding the min or max of, and x is the value you input to achieve that min or max
I put in the height value in for h tho
i dont think there is an x in the second problem
So why is the radius the x value
i think it would be good to avoid terminology like "x value" and "y value" tbh
there's different variables here, and some are written to depend on others
Not in the problem but it’s like the first value of the max value
Like my calc gives the x and y we are finding the volume so the y would be the volume
But how would I know the x is the radius
you're basically asking "how do i know if i should solve for V in terms of r or in terms of h before maximizing"
the answer is it doesn't matter, either is correct
but one will often be easier than the other
I just don’t know how I will solve these problems because without having the answer key I would have no idea what to do next because I would not know the radius is the x value so I would not be able to find the height because I would have nothing to input
again, you don't have to use radius as the x value
I’m able to do everything find up until I get the value of the max
I just don’t know how I am supposed to know that the x value is the radius
im not sure if youre listening to what im saying
idk I’m trying I’m just really confused
okay so lets solve using h instead \
we get the same equation of $3 - r^2 = 2rh$ \
rearranging, we get $r^2 + 2rh - 3 = 0$ \
using the quadratic formula, we get $r = h \pm \sqrt{h^2 + 3}$ \
we have to use $r = h + \sqrt{h^2 + 3}$, because $h - \sqrt{h^2 + 3}$ is negative \
so now we can plug in $r = h + \sqrt{h^2 + 3}$ into $V = \pi r^2 h$, and now we have an expression for $V$ in terms of $h$. We can go to our calculator, use $h$ as the x and $V$ as the y, and maximize

ty for leaving
it's more work this way, but it's still a totally valid method
<@&268886789983436800> irrelevant information and keep not respecting other helper. I was contributing help and this guy jumped in.
like I am a me to do everything I was able to get the max value but I am just not able to identify why the x and y represent
if you have nothing constructive to add, dont talk in the channel.
the point of this is to show that there are multiple valid things to pick for x
there isnt a special unique x for any given problem
Yes I know that but I have no idea how to figure out what it represents
what do you mean by represent
Like the x represents the radius but I only knew that because I looked at the answer key
because they decided that x should be the radius
But there’s a right and wrong answer? How would I know how to continue the problem I alrwdy found the value of height i need to input the radius
they asked for both a height and a radius to maximize the volume
you can either
- solve for height in terms of radius and plug in
or 2) solve for radius in terms of height and plug in
if you do 1), you will get a height h and a volume V. then you can solve for r after
if you do 2), you will get a radius r and a volume V. then you can solve for h after
either way, you will get the same exact answers for r, h, and V
Like in this problem it turns out both the height and radius equal 1 but not all spinels are like that
thats completely irrelevant
once you find radius = 1, you plug that into your equations to solve for height, and then you get that height = 1
I’m just very confused
it again seems like you're looking for a unique way to solve the problem, and there isnt one
But the thing is I don’t know that I found out the radius equals 1 without looking at the answer key
okay are you saying you dont know how to find the radius after finding the height and volume
Like I have (1,pi) but I don’t know how to know that the pi is volume and fhe 1 is the value of the radius
what did you input into your calculator
like I am worried on the test I will think the volume is 1 and the radius is pi
I put the v= equation it’s hard to type out
And then I graphed it and found the maximum volume
okay so you inputted the exact equation you wrote down with V and r, except on your calculator you replaced r with x and V with y
Oh wait that kinda makes more sense
I never thought about it that way 😭 like it seems obvious now
Sorry I feel like I was overthinking it to much
its fine i think just next time be more direct about your question, it was very unclear that you were confused about the actual calculator output
okay so you have an equation with 1 variable, which means you can solve it for a solution
you would use a root finder or equation solver on your calculator
should I try to isolate w? That’s the type of thing I did in my previous problems
you could, it's difficult here because you have a cubic equation
you could also try expanding everything and factor to find roots, but that can also be difficult with cubics
have you seen factoring for cubics and higher in class before?
I don’t think so
or factor theorem or anything like that
could I find the solution by finding the max or min?
okay then they probably want you to use your calculator to solve this
in a sense yes but that would probably be more confusing and you shouldnt do it like that
we arent really trying to maximize or minimize anything here. we have 1 equation with 1 variable, and we just want to figure out what that variable equals
in the previous examples we had equations with 2 variables, and we wanted to maximize one variable by varying the other one
here we just have 1 variable in the equation, so there's nothing to vary; there's only going to be a few possible solutions, and most likely only 1 valid one
I’m just stuck because I don’t really know what u mean by a equation solver
like, (2w + 1)(w)(2/3 w) = 312 is an equation
you can't pick just anything for w, most choices for w would not satisfy this equation
we want to find a w that does satisfy this equation
a simpler version of this is like seeing the equation 3x + 7 = 12, or x(2x + 5) = 13. you have an equation with 1 variable, and you want to solve for what the variable should equal to make the equation true
with linear and quadratic equations you can do this directly, but with cubic ones you often will want to use a calculator, unless the equation is easy to factor
do you have a ti84?
Yes
if you do 2nd trace, then you should see a zero command
Is there another way to do this? It’s just our teacher never showed us this before so I’m worried she intends for us to do it a different way
Cus she does not like it when people overuse their calculator
mm okay, it's kind of hard if you haven't seen something like factor theorem
but maybe you have and just dont recognize the name
first, expand the equation so that you have a polynomial that = 0
then multiply the equation by constants to get rid of any fractions
you then basically just guess roots
but if you want rational roots, you only have to check factors of the constant term in the polynomial, divided by factors of the highest-power term
once you find one that works, you can factor it out, and you get a smaller polynomial
with cubics, once you find one, you're left with a quadratic, and you can just apply the quadratic formula or try to factor directly
this method doesn't work very often though, since lots of polynomials have all irrational roots, so you might not even be able to find that first root
here though i checked and there is a rational root so you should be able to find it
I looked at the way my teacher did it and for some reason she said find the intersection of the 2w+1 😭
So now I’m even more confused
like she wants you to use your calculator?
right okay she does want you to use your calculator
intersection and zero do very similar things
for intersection, you want to find a w so that the equations
y = 312
and
y = (2w+1)(w)(2/3 w)
intersect. if they intersect, that means that the y-values are the same so 312 = (2w+1)(w)(2/3 w) and you have a valid solution for w
zero basically checks for intersections between an equation and the x-axis, so you make one side 0 and plug the other side in
both of these commands are in 2nd trace
Oh wait we are putting both y=312 and the y = the long one in?
That makes more sense
right, intersection needs 2 equations
I got confused I thought she meant just out in the 2w+1
And I was panicked
And when we get the interaction the x value would be the width and the y value would be the volume?
the x value is W and the y value is irrevelant here
Ah ok
y is just a dummy variable we use to set the two sides equal
And then I would just put in the with into the h equation
youre gonna see y = 312 here because the LHS is just 312
What’s LHS?
left hand side
more generally y will just be whatever thing you were setting equal
here y will be the volume since you made the equation by writing volume 2 different ways, but we also already know the volume is 312 so y doesn't really tell us anything here

Could you guys do it on a piece of paper please? I’ve been stuck on this one since yesterday and I’d understand it a lot better visually
did you read what i said yesterday
note how you applied power rule to the outer cube
then multiplied by the derivative of the inner (2x+1)
similar idea to what you have here
(sec(x))^3
out is the same, the cube
and inner is the sec(x)
so applying chain rule would result in
3sec^2(x) * d/dx sec(x)
and you can use your table for the derivative of sec(x)

Hi is this right
should be
well the final answer is the same isn't it
oh wait
yes but idk where they went wrong
du/dx should be -4cos(2x)sin(2x)
yeah they're missing a 2 in the derivative of cos^2(2x)
they forgot to apply the chain rule to the innermost function
oh wait yeah. true. thanks guys

hi
Hi.
are you good with statistics?
Any questions?
Depends on the question level.
l need some help with trigonometry as well
Asking the actual question right away is more likely to get responses.
Asking "Can I ask...?" or "Does anyone know about...?" doesn't give people enough information to decide whether they can help, and answering can feel like a promise to help with the actual question, which they might find themselves unable to.
alright!
ask ahead!
Ask away!

-TimeLord-
Try using this
do you know of an identity involving sine and cosine that does not result in any trigonometric function?
ah
well
that
no \sin and \cos is slightly triggering sorry LOL

Thats a thing?
$\sin{x}$
yeah, $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$
do \sin{}
Oh snap
more you know!
Yes. I'll probably forget it tomorrow

prove that (sec x +tan x)(sec x - tan x)= 1 can you also help me prove that equation please?
Did you solve your original problem though?
wait, stick on each question please.
I would prefer to look at that first
Do not jump from this to other question in a short time!
what the others said!!
ill assume youre working from first principles since this is another well known pythagorean identity, you can always rewrite, say, trigonometric functions as a ratio of sides, and use the idea that O^2 + A^2 = H^2 and so on
otherwise, you can also derive this from the original pythagorean identity sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 by rewriting sec(x) and tan(x) in terms of sine and cosine
why did hutao become nefer what happened
Many waifus I can not afford...

wtb
We lost the plot somewhere
well, rearrange x = 1 - sin m, y = 1 + cos m in terms of sine and cosine
i.e.
make sin m and cos m the subject
and then employ the identity (holy crap my keyboard is lagging i dont even know how) sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1
Pure chaos here.
@low kestrel bump
||my favourite green eyed goblin||
Wut 😭 who is that
Its Reze from Chainsaw man
reze what do i do next?
Guys redir
right! now you square both sides
Wait y-i?
y - 1*
right, well youve given us x = 1 - sin m
so, sin m should be 1 - x by adding sim m on both sides and subtracting x
hm? what do you mean
sin m + x = 1 - sin m + sin m
sin m + x = 1
sin m = 1 - x
@lament dawn can i send you a friend request?
okie!
x = 1-sin m x-1 = -sin m
How about me
no
sure! this works too, you could multiply both sides by -1
🥺
LOL
