a,b are vectors
I meant the step where you conclude the integral is equal to ||b-a||
a and b are points
the integral is equal to b-a
Why?
because of FTC
You're dealing with integrating a vector function
doesn't it work still
So what version of FTC are you using
Okay so you're doing FTC on components?
yes
wait so does every step imply the next?
yeah but (first step => last step) =/> (step => next step)
Thanks smay
I'm just memeing
lol
it seems as though this is just fine no?
we are integrating the magnitude of a vector valued funciton
Yeah I think so
|gamma'| is a map R -> R
so we are good
and then you used the triangle inequality
and then definition of integral, then FTC
wait does this inequality (the only one you wrote) really come from the traingle inequality
yeah the one over arbitrarily big sums
wait
forgot to tell a step
i also applied the fact that a_n < B implies lim a_n < B
because integral definition uses limits
i mean idc about the limit step i just care that the weird triangle thing you did works
oh okay i see
yeah everything checks out
i know that you know what a limit is
yeah i'm pretty sure it does (if you're worried about the /n thing use ||v/n|| = ||v||/|n|)
I am worried about the traingle inequality part only
like no other step
okay i think it's fine after staring at it
it's literally just a direct application of the traingle inequality
yeah but with limits
Yeah that is the triangle inequality
I think so, each step does seem valid
alright
We discussed the middle steps

can someone help me find the answer to this question algebraically? I know there's definitely an intersection between 1 and 2 (shown by graph) but how would I reach that through algebra?
It’s a cubic
Factor the denominator on the rhs
Multiply out, collect terms
And you’ll obtain a cubic
U might be able to do something cheeky with it to solve for what you want
But,
You can use the cubic formula to find x
That’s an algebraic solution
ahh, it'll be like this right? and ive been using synthetic div to try and solve it but its not working, so would i use something else?
have you learnt polynomial long division?
yes
You should first try guess the factor right
But
You if you want an algebraic method for which to solve it, you can use the cubic formula, albeit cumbersome
I would recommend substituting factors in until you get an answer of 0 and doing the polynomial long division especially for the small values
personally
but both methods work
ohhh
so would I do (x/x+2) and (5x/x^2-4) both by polynomial long div first and then solving the rest of the eq? or should I combine everything like I did above
but then i kinda dont see what I can divide it by here
isn't missing +x on the black graph?

would these two circles be congruent since they overlap onto each others center?
since they overlap onto each others center?
this implies they have the same radius, so yes

Stuck at 3{x}^2=x[x]
nvm i solved
You can realise that [x]=1 from the facts that 3{x}^2 is less than 3 and x is positive
So 3{x}^2=1+{x}

@glad matrix Has your question been resolved?
did you try it with small positives integers for m
and see what happens?
@glad matrix Has your question been resolved?
its because they are a multiplicity right
their dervative/slope would be exactly 0
yea
ye
nice, so let's differentiate it
let's say f(x)=(x-1)³
f'(x)=3(x-1)²
f''(x)=6(x-1)
f'''(x)=6
f''''(x)=0
yea
so right here
how do we get xk-1/2(xk-x^* ) - x *
take the diff and replace x_k+1 with newton meaning like
1/2* (x-x^* ) - x^ * no?
oh, I think it's just iteration for Newton's method
wym
and f(xk)/f'(xk)=1/2 (xk-x^*)
oh wait yea
x_n+1 is = x_k - -f(x)/f`(x)
so
at the end we get this
what does this even represent
that is with each iteration, the error will be narrowed by (around) (m-1)/m times
and for this part
when m is large it converges slowly because we divide by a huge number?
it's because m-1 and m is so close together
e.g.
1/2 = 0.5
2/3 = 0.66666.…
3/4 = 0.75
4/5 = 0.8
...
999999/1000000=0.999999
which will becomes very close to 1
ooh i see
wb this formula above
we derived that
for what purpose?
1/2(x_k-x^*)
is that just telling us the error will reduce by half each iteration?
its the same formula right m-1/m(x_k-x^*)
yea, i think that's the reasoning for that
just with different multiplicity
but then what is the point of this then
for f(x) and f`(x)
hmmm
not sure about this then
hm okat
i also wanted to clarify this
what does this equation represent
but the whole thing is that higher the multiplicity, weaker Newtow's method work
i didnt understand what the point of this was
ic
you mean the last one? green one?
it's the error for Newton's method with function involving multiplicity m
the efficiency
so like how fast it converges basically?
yea
they derive it form thsi eqn
what does alpha mean?
does it just mean that its the max derivative in the interval [a,b]?
this one, I'm not sure
like the worst case scenario for the convergence rate
so like how would u use this eqn
to see if it converges
reading
yeah but im jus confused on what alpha is
it is the rate of the convergence
but how am i supposed to know that value when doing the problem
like in here they just assume its 1
well, you'll have to calculate when you are really doing a problem about error in methods
ic ok thanks
if it's assuming its 1, it should told you about it.
if it didn't say, you might have to calculate
so when we have a multiplicity we could use this instead
but 1 thing i didnt get was how they reduced teh top eqn to get the 2nd
like the (x-p)^m-1 where did it go
factor (x-p)^(m-1) out of the numerator and out of the denominator
ah ic
This would be fine to use right?
using f(x)/f`(x)
instead of the modified
dyk why g`(x^*) = 0?
@rustic portal
it's because x^* is the root, so f(x^*)=0, hence g'(x^*)=0
how would u do part a) then
to prove it
wouldn't this be sufficient?
but i dont understand where i "proved it"
yep
i still dont understand how we proved this
from what ur saying
since f(x*) is 0
(because x* is a root of f(x)
oooh so f(x^*) = 0
and f'(x) ≠0 therefore the expression is not undetermined
and 0/something
yea
What does this question ask exactly? dyk?
the wording is so fucking stupid it pisses me off
this question might be asking to use the fixed-point method tobfind ³√225?
not sure lol,as you've said it's not that clear
apprently this is what they meant
sm1 did this and got full marks
But that makes no sense to me
that is just f(x) or wtv
let's see
how is this doing fixed point method on g(x) 💀
i guess you'll have to first find an intial guess
let's say 6³=216, we can try with it?
but seriously, not sure, man

how do i find the domain? help mee
there are methods to find range
Do you know what domain means?
which one do yk
Domain here!
well i solved the 1-3
ok so from 4
wait i mean 2-4-5 not yet hehe
square roots are strictly >=0
what do you know about square roots?
sqrt 25 = 5
sqrt 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 = 100000000000000000000000000000000000
ye
alr so i solved the question 1
is {X | X E R}
Yes
for 2, the function can not have a finite value if there is a division by 0
so all such x are not allowed
and so on
just find all the values of x for which the computation is not according to the rules
for num 2, solve where 2x - 5 = 0, which is where the domain doesnt exist
and the rest of the numbers is your solution
that one idk dude i sound stupid but yes
idk
how
domain is all the values which give you real outputs
ok
usually it's all real numbers
well, take (x - 3)/x for example
but for square roots and fractions it might change
it is undefined where x = 0 since you cannot divide by 0
for example say $\sqrt{x}$\
we know that square root of negative numbers don't exist\
so it is only defined for x > 0 (that's the domain!)
the num 2 like this right?
yup
wait whats "Kodomain"?
codomain
codomain?
co-domain
oh sry
yep
sqr(x) >= 0 for all real numbers
make this fit (4)
ah ok ok
Domain: x ≥ 0 atau [0, ∞). this one?
you mean answer?
num4. {x| , x >/ -3/2, x ∈ R} ?
is that 3 under the square root sign? it doesnt look like that
2x + 3 ≥ 0
2x ≥ -3
im not sure
Since the root is for only 2x, you dont need the whole thing to be positive
since the 3 is not under the sqrt you just have to solve 2x >=0
oo
but for (5) you do
so i should solve only 2x >= 0
{ x | x >= 2, x e r} ? like this?
@fresh ocean yo bacter is that true for num 4
for 4, x being non negative is sufficient, so x>=0 is a valid domain for it to be a function
since 2x, and x behave similarly for the squareroot function
divide both sides by 2

I need to find all sequences $(a_n)$ with n a non negative integer and $a_n$ all positive integers such that $a_n$ divides $2^{a_{n+1}}-1$ for all $n$. First i showed that $a_n$ is always odd and with Fermat that if $a_n$ is constant, $a_n$ is never a prime number. I don’t know where to go from here.

ya teezi menak elo
i did
generally the angle is named for the side opposite to it.
i only i have a triangle with a hyp of 52
so tan W has W opposite, V adjacent, and U hypotenuse.
draw it out and verify though
dunno, could be either, you don't have either side marked with the length
Doesn't that depend on your preference
you can reflect the triangle, so either arrangement of the vertices will be possible.
W and T just have to correspond
wait nvm i understood
so S must be the 90 angle
cuz in the question it says RST
S is in the middle
but it helps to know the rest
same triangle but different points
so R will have the right angle
no
what
S can have the right angle even in triangle SRT
No S
however,
the legs are what determines the right angle
cuz its RST
in this case RT is the longest edge, so S is the right angle.
how
(given that you have a right angle)
yes
damn
so triangle SRT is still a right triangle, and S is the right angle.
because RT is the longest leg

i don't understand what to do in this at all
like write down the difference, multiply divide with it and simplify it?
but that'll work for 2 quadrtics only, no?
there's 3 here
okay I'll try and get back at this
nope
lemme try this then
Mhm
is there some other approach to it?
but then I won't be able to integrate it
cause it's in product and not in sum
..
U are converting it into sum
Just search up for partially fractions
On YouTube
im not understanding your method
Uk get some idea
okay that works
Ull*
Mhm
It's basically a method to convert it into separate fractions with no multiplication in denominator

yo
Hmmmmm
i evaluated the expression at the hint
Maybe try rewriting the top part of the first one as 1 - (6x)^2
why
you just forgot the chain rule
Cause it might not recognize that as equivalent lol
oof
ex. $\frac{d}{dx} \int^{7x}_{0} f(u) \dd{u}=7 f(7x)$
Civil Service Pigeon
oh
wait
does that happen for all bounds
u just multiply by the derivative
of the bound
I mean that's how chain rule works
can u illustrate how that applies here exactly
ik chain rule but i dont see where that pops up here
$\int^{7x}{0} f(u) \dd{u}=f(g(x))$ where $f(x)=\int^{x}{0} f(u) \dd{u}$ and $g(x)=7x$
Civil Service Pigeon
It's pretty easy to replicate this logic for the general case, so I'll let you do that

Ok thx
How do you write the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line through a point?
in 2D/3D/higher dimension?
2D
Algebra 1 stuff
For some reason TOCT puts Algebra 1 content in a precalculus playlist💀
me.dusk
There are two ways come to my mind, the first one is to use the fact that a line is of the form y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is a constant. The line perpendicular to a line with slope m is 1/m or -1/m, and if you want your new line to intersect a particular point, then substitute the coordinates of the point to the equation of the new line and solve for c.
Another way uses dot product and vectors which I find more conceptual, probably not in your algebra 1 syllabus though. I'm not familiar with the US system.

@low remnant Has your question been resolved?
don't vanish!
you have a given line? call it $y_1 = m_1 x + b_1$
jan Niku
jan Niku
and it must go through some point, say, $(x_p, y_p)$
jan Niku
so $y_2 (x_c) = y_c = \frac{-1}{m_1} x_c + b$
jan Niku
and $b = y_c + \frac{x_c}{m_1}$
jan Niku
then $y_2 (x) = \frac{-1}{m_1} x + \qty( y_c + \frac{x_c}{m_1})$

Your doing the same thing as part a just with the thing you came up with in part b
You different f^-1(y)
so y/4 + 9/4?
Yeah what is the derivative of that with respect to y
wouldn't it be $1/4$
nothin
Yeah
well... they were asking specifically for the derivative of the inverse
which in most cases happens to be the same (this is a very precise theorem, better to not assume that)

Can someone help me with the 3rd question? I’m stuck since I’ve tried using a calculator online and it didn’t work for me.
Let me know if either are you aren’t able to read it.
@rich elk Has your question been resolved?
I meant help with the 4th question. Sorry
Your matrices E1 to E4 look correct. Are you sure you multiplied them in the correct order?
E4*E3 is first, then multiply that product by E2, and then by E1
@rich elk Has your question been resolved?
Oh hi, sorry I just noticed your reply.
Talking about these ones?
yes
I did the product in correct order just to check and the answer did match the inverse
?
that's weird
i got something else
Not sure if my multiplication was correct or something
just try once with online calculators
I got this.
Which should not be the correct inverse matrix.
Unless? no
Aha, ypu have the last transformation down wrong even if you performed it right
it goes r1 -> r1 + r3
which is what you did as well
but in your list you noted it wrong
And I just made the matrices off of your transforms in the 1st image, so I didnt really bother checking your rest of stuff
no no, the last step
that is r3 in there which you might have misread as r2 later on
That's r1 + r2 -> r3.
It looks like the operation is r1 becomes r1 + r3 to me
happens all the time with me too, no worries. Just make sure to check everything properly once you are done
Which is painful
That's why row operations are painful.
Wait, even if that was the case.
I still have to deal with the 2 on the center top.
I got it!

only need help in ii
am i supposed to prove using angles? kinda confused. see my markings on the diagram
Do you need to use angles? You can just find the point of intersection and calculate all 3 lengths of the sides and you are done
Or you can claim that the RT and OP are parallel coz the angles POT and OTR are equal
@vestal igloo Has your question been resolved?
lengths of OR, RT, and OT?
how do we know which sides are equal?
equal sides = length of sides is equal
triangle is isosceles if any pair of sides has same length
i know
what i mean is which pair of sides are equal?
that you can find by calculating all 3 lengths
huh theres no value of y for T
You know equation for y-axis and equation of line for PQ

,, \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} f (x) = f(x) = 0 \textbf{ if its continuous}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
what i mean
,, \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac{\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 - 30x - 46}{x^2} = a \textbf{ at } x_0 = 0 \textbf{ if its continuous}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
yes
yes what wai said
wai?
srry
That's me
,, \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 - 30x - 46}{x^2} = a
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
from both sides, 0^+ and 0^- I think
Cool, any ideas?
,w cos(0) + 5*9 - 0 -46
lhopital
but if we can avoid it just tell me.
,, \frac{d}{dx} \left(\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 -30x - 46\right)
uh
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
first we differentiate the numerator
why not series expansion instead
taylor expansion? when cetntered around x = 0?
okay
of what? cosine or the entire numerator?
we still need to differentiate yeah
Do that then!
yeah lets hope lhopital and simplifying gets rid of the 0/0 undeterminate form
,, \frac{d}{dx} \left(\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 -30x - 46\right) \ = -\sin(x) + \frac{d}{dx} \left(5(x+3)^2\right) - 30
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
we need function composition rule for the second term
mmm
,, \frac{d}{dx} \left(\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 -30x - 46\right) \ = -\sin(x) + \frac{d}{dx} \left(5(x+3)^2\right) - 30 \ = -\sin(x) + 5\frac{d}{dx} \left[(x+3)^2\right] - 30
U^n ==> nu'u^(n-1)
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
,, u^n \implies n \times u' \times u^{(n-1)}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
u = x+3
n = 2
,, u^n \implies n \times u' \times u^{(n-1)} \ (x+3)^n \implies 2 \times 1 \times u^{1}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
,, \frac{d}{dx} \left(\cos(x) + 5(x+3)^2 -30x - 46\right) \ = -\sin(x) + \frac{d}{dx} \left(5(x+3)^2\right) - 30 \ = -\sin(x) + 5\frac{d}{dx} \left[(x+3)^2\right] - 30 \ = -\sin(x) + 5\left(2(x+3)\right) - 30
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
why no series expansion
series expansion of which function
the cos
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1-\frac{x^2}{2}+O(x^4)+5x^2+30x+45-30x-46}{x^2}$
kheerii
is that the first two terms?
yes
the constant and the x terms cancel and you're just left with $\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\frac{9}{2}x^2+O(x^4)}{x^2}=\frac{9}{2}$
kheerii
I can ignore the O iguess
it just represents all the terms in the series which have a term of x^4 or higher
,w limit of (cosx + 5(x+3)^2 - 30x - 46)/(x^2) as x tends to 0
had to check
how did u simplify
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1-\frac{x^2}{2}+O(x^4)+5x^2+30x+45-30x-46}{x^2}$
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
I got lost here
add up everything
notice that the constant terms are 1+45 - 46 which is 0
and the x terms are 30x - 30x which is also 0
let me multiply by 2/2 the whole fraction
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1-\frac{x^2}{2}+O(x^4)+5x^2+30x+45-30x-46}{x^2} \ \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{2-x^2+10x^2+60x+90-60x-92 + O(x^4)}{2x^2}$
yeah srry
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
,w 2 - x^2 + 10x^2 + 60x + 90 -60x -92
okay thats 9/2 for sure
yeah we got rid of undeterminate form
so the limit is 9/2
so a should be 9/2 as well for it to be continuous
how do I check my answer?
ok whatever should be right

✅
let $f$ be a function with continuous derivative such that $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(e^{3x})}{x\cos(x)} = 12$ find $f$ and $f'(1)$
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
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
1
f(1) should be easy to spot
for the limit to exist what do you need f(e^3x) to be at x=0?
= 12
why?
idk
idk
im not sure I just said something random
,, \textbf{we are being told } \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(e^{3x})}{x\cos(x)} = 12
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
Hmm, I suggest you use ||LH||
we do
if the numerator were not 0 would the limit exist?
you are saying $\lim_{x \to 0} f(e^{3x}) = 12?$
no
I guess not, but I am not 100% about this one
Idk, is complicated for me
I need to put in double the effort compared to other folks
if it were not an indeterminate form can the limit ever exist finitely?
well yeah in this case it's 12
implies numerator is approaching 0 aswell
well 1/0 = +infty
not exactly, but yeah finite/0 always diverges to + or - infinity
but what I mean is that, if denominator would be approaching zero, numerator necessarily needs to apporach zero because it is a finite value, idk if I can say that x/0 = infty for any x but Idk how to explain in it in a more rigurous manner neither
calculus is just a hard topic, and I am a bad student
no what you're saying makes sense
you're basically right
x/0 = infinity is not very precise but you understand the idea
the limit can't exist finitely if the denominator tends to 0 unless the numerator also tends to 0
exactly
what do I do with this piece of information though? is there a followup coming because im out of ideas
WAI said to use Lhopi
but we dont know the form of the f(x) function
well you did the first part
f(1)=0
for the second part yeah LH works
I don't think there's any othere "trivial" way anyway
well you can use the first principle
I mean, you could, yeah
but that wouldn't be pleasent here
using LH is redundant when the denominator is a linear term
first priciples? you mean the derivative as a limit?
no just separate the cosx
yeah, but don't worry about that
just use LH
how
we have 0/0 form but we dont know f(x)
is it possible?
doesn't matter, you can still differentiate it
,, \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(e^{3x})}{x\cos(x)}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
ok top is $3e^{3x}f'(e^{3x})$ ?????????
use chain rule
my bad
nope
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
yes
yes
my gawd okay
now derive the denominator.
,, \frac{d}{dx} \left(x\cos(x)\right) = \cos(x) - x\sin(x)
for the denominator instead of using product rule you can separate the cosx
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
,w differentiate xcos(x)
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{f\left(e^{3x}\right)}{x\cos x}=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{f\left(e^{3x}\right)}{x}\cdot\lim_{x\to 0}\frac1{\cos x}$
kheerii
I mean alright
this isn't a problem either
cos(0) = 1
yes
what about it
so it's no longer indeterminate
now you don't have to use the product rule for the denominator
okay
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{f\left(e^{3x}\right)}{x\cos x}=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{f\left(e^{3x}\right)}{x}\cdot\lim_{x\to 0}\frac1{\cos x} = \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{f\left(e^{3x}\right)}{x}$
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
yeah it is
if we differentiate denom is 1
but you can only say this here because you KNOW that the limit HAS to exist
in general this fact is not true
yes
you mean product rule for limit only applies if both limits exist
yes
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
the same as what you said earlier
yeah
,, \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(e^{3x})}{x\cos(x)} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{3e^{3x}f'(e^{3x})}{1} = 3f'(1)
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
mmm
idk if this equality is legal
but should be since we had 0/0 undeterminate form at the start so lhopital should me legal
it is
anyways, 3f'(1) = 12
why do you think it isnt?
because problem looked hard but after lhopi and a bit of reasoning is actualy normal problem now
which means 3f'(1) = 12 ===> f'(1) = 4 and f(1) = 0
indeed!
well, that's the entire point of problem solving
.solved

I think I might need to use first principles for this
,, \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(h)}{h}
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
first find if the function is continuous
true, but differentiability implies continuity
what I mean is that if we found that the function is differentiable at a point, is also continuous at that point
It seems that the function is not even defined below 1/6
okay
thats an error in the domain of the function
I think they meant dom(f) = (-1/6, infty)
you cannot even test for differentiability without checking for continuity
though continuity is not too bad to test for here
okay lets check for contiuity and then differentiability
I might be mistaken and taking nonsense
,, \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-\ln(1+6x)}{x} = -6
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
this needs to hold for that piecewise to be continuous
we need to apply lhopi, unless there is other way please let me know
numerator is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(-\ln(1+6x)\right) = -\frac{1}{1+6x} \times 6 = \frac{-6}{1+ 6x}$
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
this is a pretty famous limit, $\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log(1+x)}{x}=1$ which in turn comes from the series expansion of log(1+x) at x=0
