maybe I just suck at tex
you cant use \varphi inside text
just ditch the formalities and do the math
you forgot the sqrt
and the powers
Renato
(3t²)²+(2t)² @stoic imp
poneleee jajajjajaja
,, \text{arclength of } \varphi(t) = \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{(3t^2)^2 + (2t)^2} \ dt
Renato
@rough forge like this
yes
so we get that $\text{arclength of } \varphi(t) = \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{9t^4 + 4t^2} \ dt
@rough forge @summer imp like this
yes @stoic imp
First term inside the root wasn't squared properly.
,, \text{arclength of } \varphi(t) = \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{(3t^2)^2 + (2t)^2} \ dt,, \text{arclength of } \varphi(t) = \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{9t^4 + 4t^2} \ dt
@summer imp @rough forge now its correct?
i guess bro
Well I can't see a thing but yes it should be t^4
u been repeating it like 4 times now
edited dawg
you forgot the t²
Renato
now yes
,, \text{arclength of } \varphi(t) =
you dont need that in the middle
@summer imp @rough forge now yes?
care to elaborate on that
On what? They just said that you don't need to rewrite the "arclength of phi(t)" part in your latex.
Nothing?
what
You just need to compute the integral
which integral
How about you integrate it with the hint I provided instead of focusing on insignificant stuff
Is Dr. Strange erasing your memory every 10min or what's happening
what do you mean?
we had $\int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{9t^4 + 4t^2} \ dt$
@rough forge @summer imp
You forgot t^2
And this is like the 5th time you rewrite this
You need to compute this integral, not rewrite it over and over
Renato
@summer imp @rough forge its corrected now
6th time
what do you recommend
They gave you a hint, which was to factor t^2 out from inside the root.
sure
,, \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{9t^4 + 4t^2} \ dt = \int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{t^2} \cdot \sqrt{9t^2 + 4} \ dt
Renato
@summer imp @rough forge like this ?
Ja
The integrand is even, so it's the same as $2\int_0^1 \sqrt{t^2} \cdot \sqrt{9t^2+4}\dd{t}$. Then what's $\sqrt{t^2}$?
Azyrashacorki
It's a standard fact that if $f$ is even, then $\int_{-a}^a f(t) \dd{t} = 2\int_0^a f(t)\dd{t}$. If you disagree, then instead recall that $\sqrt{t^2} = |t|$ and split your integral into two parts according to the piecewise definition of $|t|$.
Azyrashacorki
@summer imp @rough forge wdym by even
f(t) = f(-t).
how so ?
The variable occurs everywhere as an even power.
You can check that f(t) = f(-t) directly.
I feel like every new simplification just leads to more basic questions, maybe we could skip that?
I mean it's insane but still
im new to math, srry
Well we'll need to deal with |t| one way or another.
Let's do it like this instead. Do you agree, Renato, that the length of the curve x^2 = y^3 for x in [-1,1] is twice the length of the same curve in [0,1]?
where did u get the graph from
a graphing tool
You essentially have two choices :
- agree that you only need to compute the length between x=0 and x=1 and multiply that by 2 to get the length between x=-1 and x=1.
- unpack the definition of |t| in the interval [-1,1] in order to split your integral into two integrals.
Which do you prefer?

"Mention the cases where (a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2" should i just brute force or like expand the (a+b)^2
context?
is it a subquestion to a question or smth
yes
expand
Expand the LHS
And cancel
the thing in "" is the question
Yeah we understand
so like a^2+b^2= a^2+2ab+b^2
safe to assume he's not talking about a field of characteristic 2
wait hold up
Yep
Yep
so does that mean a is 0 or b is 0?
So?
Correct
okay thank u
wait
you could've solved this without our help
just expand
if you don't know what to do, just try smth
I mean we just said expand and he does all the rest of the work
exactly
So technically that's some help there

Hi I’m really confused on a
Thx
First, the forces on P
Yep
So P is sitting somewhere to the right of O, moving right. What forces are acting on it?
4v+8x to the left
The 8x force pulls it back toward O (so it’s in the negative direction)
The 4v resistance opposes motion, so since it’s moving right, that’s also negative
Does that make sense so far?
Yes
So applying F = ma
Is the resultant force to the left ?
Yes! Great question.
Since P is to the right of O and moving to the right, both forces act to the left
I see
So the resultant force is indeed to the left
So I thought it would be f=4v+8x
Since they’re in the same direction
But it’s not
Same result! It doesn’t matter which direction you take as positive as long as you’re consistent throughout.
You’re right, sorry! Let me redo this carefully.
Taking right as positive, the forces to the left are negative:
you have to yourself assume f = -(4v+8x), as they're applied in opposite direction of motion, i think
So the object is accelerating to the right?
no
That is their result! So your equation a - 8v - 16x = 0 was just a sign error somewhere. Where did you get the minus signs on the 8v and 16x?
I thought acceleration was in the same direction as the forces
Acceleration points in the same direction as the net force (not necessarily every force
But isn’t the net force towards the origin
Oh wait I made error agin I’m so sorry😭

Yes exactly! Acceleration IS in the same direction as the resultant force.
The resultant force is to the left, so acceleration is also to the left.
But x increases to the right, so if we take right as positive
is negative (it points left)
• Forces are negative (they point left)
So what’s the equation from that
From F = ma taking right as positive:
I’ll Send a pic
Thx
Im still confused sorry
No that ok I’ll break it down
Do we just apply f=ma regardless of the way it’s accelerating
Yes exactly! That’s the beauty of F = ma.
You just write:
The signs on the forces tell you everything. Since both forces are negative (leftward), the acceleration d²x/dt² will naturally come out negative too, meaning it accelerates to the left.
Yeah that ohhh told me everything 😭
! F takes the sign of whichever direction you define as positive.
In this case taking right as positive:
• 8x acts to the left → -8x
• 4v acts to the left → -4v
So F = -8x - 4v (negative because forces point left)
Then F = ma:
I see
The sign of F just depends on which direction the forces act relative to your chosen positive direction. Does that make sense?
Take all time you need!!
So taking left as positive:
• 8x acts to the left → +8x
• 4v acts to the left → +4v
So F = +8x + 4v (positive because forces point left, which is our positive direction)
But now acceleration is also measured to the left, so a = -d²x/dt² (since x increases to the right, which is now negative)
So F = ma becomes:
Ohhh
Yeah sorry I’m slow typer
It’s ok

What?
Is everything ok🥹
Same equation either way! That’s why it doesn’t matter which direction you pick as positive, as long as you’re consistent
Is there anything else you wanna ask?
yes
Did she disappear or?
evidently
it's ok you'll do great here
Tysm❤️ I already feel great here:)
Well should close this channel or 😭
soon the bot will tag her and ask if she wants to close, and if she is still not back it will just close anyway
Oh! That cool this sever comes with there secrets
Well I will explore and answer some more questions
i could close it but i don't have any good reason to
bye 
@acoustic tangle Has your question been resolved?
Is it because
Acceleration itself has the direction
Not the force
Like in ma=-8x-4v a is negative
Yes exactly! That’s a really good insight.
• F = ma — you just plug in the forces with their signs
• The acceleration (d²x/dt²) naturally takes care of its own direction from the maths
So you don’t need to worry about the direction of acceleration beforehand. Just:
1. Pick a positive direction
2. Assign signs to your forces
3. Write F = ma
Yes exactly!
The maths handles the direction of acceleration automatically. You just worry about the forces 😊
Ready for part (b)?
Of course!
Would you like me too or no.
It’s ok I understand the rest
ves i love you but you shouldn't just post ai excerpts here 😭
Perfect!
I was thinking that omg😭😭
But I didn’t wanna be rude
Incase it wasn’t
No it Alr 😭
It late in the night
Like something
Yeah but I could just ask ChatGPT myself
In the future it’s better if you type yourself to explain it
I see thank you for the explanation. What I really do is since I want to be much more clearer my words are not that clear as if you know what I mean so I asked ai to expand it, so it makes more sense
I understand
Thank you❤️ but y’all are right first day on the job😭 so I’ll take that in mind
I will point out the reason why this server generally has a no-ai note in help channels is precisely because of situations like this. If you don't know how to explain something, you run the risk that the AI is bullshitting but you're not versed enough to recognise the BS
Now it can be the case that the AI's output is valid, but if someone didn't know better about the topic, noticing an AI's hallucinations is rather difficult
I see

If $\lim_{n \to \infty} \Biggl( \frac1n \sum_{k=1}^n \ln\left(\frac{n^2+(k-1)^2}{n^2+k^2} \right) \Biggr)$ exists and is equal to $L$, the absolute value of $\floor{L}$ is:
I thought the numerator telescopes to ln(1/2)?
apparently, it doesn't
and i have to go via a riemann sum
can someone explain why it doesn't really telescope (other than 'smh smth infty weird')
Περσυ
ping me and @jovial spade
indeed the actual answer is -1, and i absolutely fail to see why it'd be negative
divide the fraction by n^2/n^2, then split the log
I've seen the exact problem somewhere before 🤔
eh sure yeah i can compute the riemann sum
im just wondering why its not fine to say that the numerator is just ln(1/2)
this is not a riemann sum, this is just a normal telescoping question
oh the solution given here is via a reimann sum
its not a riemann sum because it telescoping doesnt exactly allow much room for riemann summing that isnt just "an integral subtracted by itself"
consider distributing the 1/n across both "riemann sums" then getting that, you have left - right
= 0
this limit -> 0
in case you didnt test it
but why doesnt it telescope like-
the denom of term 1 cancels with the numerator of term 2?
am i cancelled out infinities?
what are you saying?
type it out
use latex
and remember, you can only cancel out fractions by multiplying/dividing both sides by the same number
it goes like $\ln \left(\frac{n^2}{n^2+1^2} \frac{n^2+1^2}{n^2+2^2} \cdots \right)$ etc
gah
try out the telescoping yourself to confirm
what is it.
ideally by writing it as an actual sum instead of a product
your \left and \right need to be right up to the ()s
\left( and \right)
i thought cdots was centre
no nvm thats stupid ignore that
do i want centre?
i see, i thought it was also lower
Περσυ
so you have n^2 / ............ / (n^2 + n^2)
this is ln(1/2)
isnt that 1/2
then the denominator goes to infty, so i expect it to be just be 0
go show the original problem and lets see if we can salvage it
just screenshot it
but why would it ever be negative
swap the limit and the floor symbol
only then would this be true
similar class of mistake in saying "0.9999 < 1, so 0.99999... < 1"
well we already simplified the partial sum as - ln(2)/n
yes
now for really large n, this is a small negative number
now if you floor it, you get -1
so floor(1/n ∑) -> -1
why are you called it a partial sum? im not sure i know this term well
mtt
this is opposed to the sum which would be a sum from k=1 to ∞
okay i see
the nth partial sum ends in n (or has n terms)
yea thats all
and in our case it's 0 because the limit is taken first?
yes
so this solution is just wrong?
yea
i see, thanks mtt
ill leave the channel open because my friend has questions
well technically, starseeker asking the question would be different
because now, you know the answer but starseeker does not
eh she cant latex worth shit so i asked jointly
keeping a channel open on someone else's behalf does mean a whole lot of waiting
lets just see what happens
consider looking through whats already been said, maybe that answers your question
if you do need clarification I can provide that
i dont get it why we cant just use telescoping series...
yea you can
the answer's just wrong
the series converges to 0
floor it, you still get 0
what they did instead was telescope it, see the terms are negative, then think "ah yes if you floor these terms you get -1"
in doing so they swap the limit and the floor operator, not part of the original question
the limit happens first, thats 0
floor(0) = 0
how is it becoming negative?
the series telescopes to -ln(2)/n
so youre just doing lim -ln(2)/n
1st term = -ln(2) is a number between -1 and 0
2nd term = -ln(2)/2 is a number between -1 and 0
3rd term = -ln(2)/3 is a number between -1 and 0
...
now theyre asking for floor(L) = floor(lim -ln(2)/n)
the correct way to do this is that L is 0, because thats what it telescopes to
then you do floor and you get 0 again
what they did instead was lim floor(-ln(2)/n)
they saw each term and thought "these are all negative numbers between -1 and 0"
so it gets floored to -1 instead
also going to bring up the nonsense involved in doing something like this
this is straight up wrong
you already brought n to infinity when you did the integral, you dont have an n afterwards
okay as someone who's always a bit confused about riemann sums why's it nonsense?
i mean i certainly dont get it and i feel like it's janky but idk
ah
how are they between -1 and 0
0 and 1
probably not, I need to check
and I dont think they even riemann integrated it correctly
smh i see
because of the circumstances, there are a large variety of possible riemann integrals
log(1 + x^2) is technically correct
i expected better of jee advanced but omg it's still fucking jee i guess
but remember, this is just a left riemann - right riemann = 0
ln(2) is a number commonly memorized to be 0.693
so -ln(2) is -0.693, between -1 and 0
dividing by n (where n > 1) makes numbers closer to 0
so -ln(2)/2, -ln(2)/3, ... are all numbers between -1 and 0
all negative, and all > -1
well they dont get a 0
because they secretly took a floor… somewhere in there… without showing it?
i dont see a floor symbol
okk yess
i forgot ln 2 value wow
there are many values to memorize
try 4 decimal places to be safe
but usually ln 2 = 0.69 is enough
also consider that ln 1 < ln 2 < ln e
so 0 < ln 2 < 1
oh ffs
0.6931
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Undefined function log_e
alright texit
okk
√3/2 ≈ 0.8660
√3/3 ≈ 0.5774
yeah okay, it's just that i dont even see a floor function anywhere there
other microcelebrity numbers
"greatest integer function" and "floor function" are the same thing
I prefer "floor" because its clearer
yes i meant i dont see it in their integral
if they flipped the floor and limits it would be in the integral
no
no?
remember, the 1/n and ∑ are part of the integral
yes
but you could just place the floor on the outside of the 1/n and ∑
but inside the limit
oh true
but the integral is still 0 then?
do we just conclude its not riemann integrable or smth
well now with that floor stuck inside,
you seem to be thinking its not riemann integrable for whatever reason
it riemann integrates to 0, as explained earlier
left - right = 0
you can split it to two riemann integrals, both of which are identical
f((k - 1)/n) is a left riemann sum
f(k/n) is a right riemann sum
im a bit lost i guess
anyways with that floor stuck inside, you have to be a lot more careful about evaluating the integral
what you could consider is to first try it without the floor, see the behavior, then put the floor on
arguably you shouldnt do the integral at all if the floor's stuck inside the limit
but thats not what this question is asking
it put the floor on the outside
and so its an integral which is 0
floor(0) = 0
like i understood you're saying $\lim(\floor{\text{the fucking sum}})$?
but if the integral remains unaffected and is 0, then dont we get 0 here too?
goddamnit
sfsdfsdfs
its almost impressive how much you both are getting lost over a single mistake that isnt even yours
Περσυ
let me be clear on the summary
the Slop if you will
the Drama
first, the context that takes way too long to get through
ok...so we got ln(1/2) from telescoping series= (-ln 2)...so lim(-ln 2/n) n tends to infinity is between -1 and 0 so its floor is -1
thats not correct
the moment you do the limit, you just get 0
so when you do floor(L), thats floor of (the limit you got which is 0)
so you just get floor(0) = 0
if you want to floor each of the terms before doing the limit, thats different
thats limit(floor(sum))
since the sum is between -1 and 0,
floor() turns that to -1
then limit of -1 is -1
im just lost on how they got whatever they did
when i asked earlier if flipping floor and limit wouldnt change the integral, you said it wouldnt
then its still 0 innit
oh I said that? thats a mistake on my end
you cautiously check if it would or it wouldnt
here though it just does
my mistake
i might just be lost a bit but that's what i took from this
well who said it wouldnt change the integral
I just said thats where youd place the floor symbols
itd still change it to -1
thats the whole deal
if its not in the integral-
I think I made a mistake somewhere around there
for some reason I was thinking the lim is not part of the integral
it is
how im confused
so inserting the floor essentially midway through the integral (which isnt really inside the integral) still breaks it as described
yeah i understood the original question, the new thing im lost on which is unrelated to the original question is just what they're doing
but it might be futile to attempt to understand that anyway, it might just be slop
limits and floors are done in order, they didnt ask for floor of (-ln(2)/n), they asked for the floor of L
now L itself didnt have any floors, its just -ln(2)/n -> 0
so when they want you do find [L], or floor(L), thats just floor(0)
youre stuck to the order of operations here
they didnt ask for $\lim_{n\to\infty}\left[\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln(\cdots)\right]$
mtt
they asked for $\left[\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln(\cdots)\right]$
mtt
so [0] = 0 is what they shouldve gotten
but in their work, they get [-ln(2)/n] = -1 instead, which is incorrect
the answer they give doesnt match the question they asked, mostly because their answer is too handwavy to tell the difference
you need to loosen your standards on logic to see the mistake they made as a handwaving error
that =<0 is certainly something
alrighty sure
wont the limit tend to a very small negative number? then its floor is 0?
yeah it is, they have low latex budget
as a reminder, the limit being asked is labelled L
L is 0, yes?
im getting them to hire me for latexing in the future
it's gonna be for the collective good of all humanity
they wanted [L], that would be [0]
limits are self-contained, like with most math operators
you do things step by step, inside first, outside last
remember, the floor was never part of the original limit
it was attached after the limit as [L]
but L itself, the limit, has no floors in it at all, its just a telescoping series, or a riemann sum minus itself
so L = 0 since the series -> 0
then you do [0] and you get 0
being able to move functions inside/outside limits only apply to continuous functions
floor is not continuous, so you cant do that here
yes im talking about the limit...wont it tend to a number just on left of 0?
remember, limits tell you what happen at the end
limits dont have the letter n when theyre done
the limit is not -ln(2)/n
the limit is just 0
so 0 is all you see when youre done with the limit
if for example you had 1 / L
that would not be 1 / 0^-
that would just be 1 / 0
because L is 0
then you get undefined
limits dont need to have anything to do with the terms that came before it
for example 0.99999... = 1
even though 0.9 < 1, 0.99 < 1, 0.999 < 1, etc.
similarly 3.14159265... = π
even though 3 is rational, 3.1 is rational, 3.14 is rational, ...
limits just need to be eventually close to the terms
for exactly 500 milliseconds here i got confused too because 'it's 0 from the left!!'
this is like consuming math slop lmao
im getting dumber
/nsrs
youre making an implication there on starseeker's questions that I wouldnt prefer being said out loud
sometimes the problem is so poorly worded it really does just sabotage what we know to be true
thats what you mean, I believe, mb
ah am i?
im just saying that i got confused the exact same way the solution writer presumably did
nvm the implication wasnt there
it does consider the question being asked as math slop
I wouldnt trust the approach this answer is taking, you need to consider it in its own separate compartment
as a reminder, the integrals are both identical, they both have bounds from 0 to 1
the bounds do not have n in them
solution is math slop best i can tell, i dont understand why they have the bounds they do
but we've established that im thoroughly confused about the integral and ill pursue that when starseeker has caught up with us, i guess
i dont wanna have two people asking you different things so
the integral can be made in any number of reductive ways due to it ultimately being 0
this is a separate idea yes
okay she dmed me and apparently the issue we have is the belief that limits are… not exact.
well alr thats separate
indeed
but yeah like that $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac2x$ is 'some number that's almost 0 but not 0' or something like that
Περσυ
ill leave the rest up to her
listening
now as a reminder $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^nf\p{\frac kn}$ is a right riemann sum, it converges to $\int_0^1f(x)dx$
mtt
$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^nf\p{\frac{k-1}n}$ is a left riemann sum, it converges to $\int_0^1f(x)dx$
mtt
left and right riemann sums both converge to the same integral
it shouldnt matter the specifics on the rectangles youre picking
alrighty
now heres what we have:
,align
&\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln\frac{n^2+(k-1)^2}{n^2+k^2}
\&=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln\frac{1+(\frac{k-1}n)^2}{1+(\frac kn)^2}
\&=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\p{\ln\p{1+\p{\frac{k-1}n}^2}-\ln\p{1+\p{\frac kn}^2}}
\&=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln\p{1+\p{\frac{k-1}n}^2}-\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln\p{1+\p{\frac kn}^2}
mtt
yeah and that's certainly 0
mtt
to be able to introduce a 1/n would be to ask: why isnt there an equivalent 1/n on the bottom bound of the second integral?
and also, the fact that theres no n in the thing that would make sense anyway
an integral uses n as a dummy variable then n is discarded when the limit is used
chatgpt cant even make a mistake this bad
itd likely guess its a telescoping sum then... just do it
this problem is very standard
yeah and ig it wouldnt write <=0
= <0
oh worse
"= negative number"
yeah i didnt realise they meant like that lmfao
-# mtt goated
indeed
not mtt explaining a relatively silly mistake for like 20 minutes lmao
we love mtt
for around an hour it seems
a fucking hour?
goddamn answer writer couldve just written the correct answer, i wouldnt have even checked the solution
ok well i dont know im content to close it @jovial spade stop being shy and ask if you have questions!
if not ill close it in a bit ig
or let it time out we seem to have plenty of available channels
will point out that, if the limit business is all you dont trust, thats technically a separate question
the question of what a limit exactly is
yess ig i ended up to that qsn
that deserves a separate channel
doesnt necessarily need to be me answering it though
alr that should be all then

can some one help ques 6 i use root test , root of 2n +3, then i dont know what to do
Question 6 of what exercise?
8.6
I would use the ratio test personally
i'll try
\prpl I guess for [ lim_{n to oo} frac{sqrt[n]{x^{2n+3}}}{9 sqrt[2n]{2n+3}} ]
you can use that ${n}^{1/n} to 1$ as $n to oo$.
this looks correct

the opposite of squaring
The square root of x is the number that when squared, results in x
$x^2$, opposite is $\sqrt {x}$
Krish
So sqrt(x)^2 = x
well it's one of those things Minecraft hasn't implemented yet /s
Don't use algebra yet, I believe that's already too much if someone's asking about square roots
the concept of "squaring" is multiplying a number by itself
Firstly, do you understand what squaring a number means? @vast harness
https://www.mathsisfun.com/square-root.html how about you read this
two "squared" is 2 * 2, which equals 4
Hm? Whats wrong with it
If you refuse to read about it then how can you learn?
don’t waste ur time with this troll lmao
bruh you're not gonna understand a short explanation if you're not gonna read that
Yea

Ok
Stop spreading misinformation
highly recomment watching a video on this.
okay, you tell us what doesn't make sense
okay, if you are going to be rude to helpers and keep swearing or mocking others then we won't help you
It actually kinda is misinfo; it's against server rules
The diameter of a cone is 14cm and the vertical height is 25cm calculate the volume

Erm please return to your question
bruh you're questioning the concept of a square root let's focus on that first @vast harness
Please stop, otherwise we would have to ping mods
pls open ur eyes 😭😭
its a TROLL
no
Nope
no
is 5 x 2 = 25?
Its x multiplied by itself, so x × x
Are you trying to write $x^2$? because that's not what "x 2" means
Waes (Wires)
Well firstly its shorter
what's the point of math?
Well its used to find the area of a square
Do you know what a square, the shape, is?
... Its there for a reason.
Okay, now, how do we calculate the area of a square? (given a side length x, say)
Okay please stop trolling, or else i have to ping mods

Are you still available @wicked edge ?
Can you post the problem
I think there is a no ping rule. I forgot the shortcut for that
Oh yes
!noping
Please do not ping individual helpers unprompted.
this is my problem
I did 2-sqrt(2)
That’s difference of squares identity
(a-b)(a+b)
why did you do 2-sqrt(2)
Because the 2 doesn’t have an internal sqrt but the other 2 does
2*2=4
But sqrt(4) is 2
what happens to the 2+sqrt(2)
[ prpl sqrt{2+sqrt{2}} times sqrt{2-sqrt{2}} = sqrt{big(2+sqrt{2}big) times big(2-sqrt{2}big)} ]
Ok I might be overthinking but I do understand it now

a bit confused on b), do I take the sine fourier series or the even extension of the initial condition?
You could ask in #odes-and-pdes if no one responds here
@mystic geode Has your question been resolved?
You have
$$u(x,0)=\sum^{\infty}{n=1} B_n \sin (n\pi x),$$
so to find the $B_n$ that match $f(x)=x \sin (\pi x)$, you need to use the standard formula for the Fourier sine series:
$$B_n=2 \int^{1}{0} f(x) \sin (n\pi x) \dd{x}.$$
Civil Service Pigeon
oh alr, just take the sine series
mhm
do you take the even extension to make a full fourier series from -1 to 1 ,
but here we have our fourier series, but just need to match the b_n terms
<@&268886789983436800>
the even extension creates a series with only cosine terms
to get only sine terms, the series implicitly depends on an odd extension of the initial condition
but here we have our fourier series, but just need to match the b_n terms
but yes to this

Can someone verify b) pls?
Well, we got something like this
Consider that this is all symbolic and not necesarilly close to what the trapezium really looks like
OY will be OC + CY
OC is by definition 4b
So we want to know what CY is
We know that CY = AC * 1/3
And we can compute AC
By concatenation, we have that OA + AC = OC
Which we can re arrange as OC - OA = AC
Which we we can rewrite as:
4b - a = AC
From here, we have that CY = (4/3)b - (1/3)a
So, if you go ahead, youll find that -(4/3)a is wrong

21st question
moreover they dont even have the helper role...
so im good 😌
it seems like 15 minutes have passed since you opened the original question. you could maybe ping helpers now
nah....
the channel was closed by mods
idk
or you can wait another 15min and ping helpers
ill wait jst to be safe
Well one way to that is that notice AX,BY,CZ.
They are all perpendicular to OP.
What can you tell about their relationships?
I cant understand how they're perpendicular to OP
if O is the bisector of AB
then where should P lie?
They are given in the question.
yk I cant understand the diagram....
where should P lie?
On the line OP?
Anywhere in the triangle ABC i suppose.
oh
yo mb for late reply
alrrr
can u help me out...
Hello
Wsp bro I willtry
thnx
im drawing stuff
Leme see
Well since AX and BY are parallel?
how...
Have you answered this?
Answer it then this question is solved.
Bro try giving Buddha a diagram
Like where is OP
I will try to help, I'm not sure to be able to do it tho
Do not mind about OP now.
Try to determine those lines relationship first.
That's not my question for you.
All good.
well at least make a sketch bro
oh ye
We want to find the relationships between the lines first.
And sketching out here I think it is unnecessary.
@odd kelp Has your question been resolved?
tru
you will have 2 cases here
AB on the same side
and AB on opp sides
make sure you draw diagram correctly btw
yea im stuck ovr there
basically its any line OP
and AX, BY, CZ are 3 perpendiculars to that line
note that O bisects AB
@odd kelp Has your question been resolved?
nope idk how to do this q
Still struggling?
Have you answered my question?
If not then keep struggling then.
