rich comet
#

How do I make this into the form in the question (ii)

rich comet
#

prev working but not rlly needed ig

inland pulsar
#

Lmao

#

What is root 2 / 2?

#

@rich comet

rich comet
inland pulsar
#

1 / root2

#

Bro?

rich comet
#

ohh u mean like rationalize ?

inland pulsar
#

Yeh

rich comet
inland pulsar
#

No derationalise

#

1/ root2

#

So now what is inside the log?

rich comet
#

√3 x 1/√2 ?

inland pulsar
#

Yes

rich comet
#

so then take out 1/2 ln(3/2)

inland pulsar
#

Do you see where this is going?

rich comet
#

ohh

inland pulsar
#

Yeah

#

Lmao

(4sqrtx + 5)^2

amber waspBOT
hazy whale
#

so i got 16x + 20x^1/2 + 20x^1/2 + 25

#

= 16x + 40x^1/2 + 25 right

#

but then we have to derive that so i got 16 + (40 * 1/2)x^-1/2

#

so 16 + 20x^-1/2

#

but someone else got 16 + 20/x

pallid canopy
#

,w expand (4 * sqrt(x) + 5)^2

fierce edge
#

if f(x) = 1/(x-1) then how does one tell whether f is a function or a relation?

fierce edge
#

Like is there notation for distinguishing between the two?

rancid raven
rough trail
fierce edge
#

they only said 1/(x-1)

shell osprey
#

i mean, something written in the form of an expression is most likely going to be a function unless it has something funky going on

#

y = 1/(x-1)
1/(x-1) is gonna be unique cuz that's numbers work and thus it's a function

shell osprey
fierce edge
#

i’m thinking of not mapping x = 1 anywhere but keeping it in the domain

#

so it’s now a relation, no?

rough trail
#

x = 1 is just an asymptote

shell osprey
#

nvm i guess you can

shell osprey
fierce edge
#

Okay i think if it was over R then it’s surely a function right?

#

Because infinity isn’t an element of R

#

but since none of this was specified lol

#

Isn’t this just ambiguous

shell osprey
fierce edge
#

wait it’d be a function on the extended reals

fierce edge
#

can’t i just keep stuffs on my domain

#

without mapping it anywhere

#

no domain restriction is given so why should i conform to only applying whatever works?

rough trail
#

sorry but are you aware what a function is?

fierce edge
#

Yes i know

#

every element of the domain is mapped to an output

rough trail
#

no

fierce edge
#

?

rough trail
#

It can still be a function if it has an asymptote

fierce edge
#

it’s a function if it excludes x = 1

shell osprey
fierce edge
#

it’s not a function if a domain is not specified

fierce edge
rough trail
#

continuity is not a prerequisite for a relation to be a function.

fierce edge
#

But we never said it was

#

….

rough trail
#

'every element of the domain is mapped to an output'

#

the output does not exist for x = 1

fierce edge
#

f(x) = 1/(x-1) is not a function on R

#

but it is a function on R excluding 1 because i can’t write \ for some reason

shell osprey
#

\{ cancels because { is symbol

fierce edge
shell osprey
#

use \\ to cancel the cancelling

fierce edge
#

okay thanks

rough trail
#

$f: R \rightarrow R, f(x) = 1/(x - 1)$ does not exist as a relation or a function, can't divide by 0

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

eththorn

rough trail
#

could've used frac and mathbb but excuse me

fierce edge
#

that answers your question

#

also exactly the same definition i wrote

rough trail
#

but 1/(x - 1) is always a function over its maximal domain

fierce edge
#

not that it’s unique but yeah

rough trail
#

no, you literally cannot define 1/x for x = 0, it's not a relation or a function. It is always a function over its maximal domain

fierce edge
#

😭but you can though over the extended reals

#

but also i don’t see how this is related to my question

#

1/x is not a function on R because x = 0 is never mapped to anything

rough trail
#

your question is 'how do we know if it's a function and not a regular relation', yes? The answer is the vlt.

shell osprey
#

divide by 0 is still divide by 0

rough trail
#

extended reals you still can't because it's still an indeterminate form

#

left and right limits aren't equal.

#

the thing is, it says 'every element of the domain must map to exactly one output' which is correct. This is because x-asymptotes can never be part of the domain, else the function is undefined. You can't have an x yielding no output, that's undefined. So no need to overthink, vertical line test works perfectly

fierce edge
#

i meant extended complex

rough trail
#

it's wrong over the graph not the function

fierce edge
#

also yep i know vertical line test works um im just saying isn’t it ambiguous because i can call that whatever i want

#

i don’t have to construct it to be a function

#

over the extended complex

rough trail
#

elaborate

fierce edge
#

division by 0 is defined because of the riemann sphere thing

rough trail
#

maybe over the extended complex, I'm not familiar with those. Over the extended reals, no due to limit being indeterminate

fierce edge
#

anyway i think we agree on one more

#

1/x is not a function on R and the function’s maximal domain excludes x = 0

#

but i was asking why i can’t put x = 0 into the domain set

#

not map it anywhere

#

i’m aware it can’t be mapped

#

but putting x = 0 into the set of the domain is not illegal by any chance

#

is it?

#

i can put anything into my set

rough trail
#

not strictly, unless it yields indeterminate form or undefined

fierce edge
#

nobody is stopping me because no restriction on the domain was defined

fierce edge
#

i’m not mapping it anywhere though

#

why does it matter at all

#

if it’s undefined or undetermined only matters if i’m mapping it to an output

#

which i’m not

rough trail
#

in that case you can yes

fierce edge
#

yeah so that’s what i meant above

rough trail
#

You can also use a piecewise

fierce edge
#

so y = 1/(x-1) can be interpreted as a relation or a function

#

right?

#

it’s ambiguous without

#

mentioning the domain

#

for the reason we just mentioned

rough trail
#

if you can find the notation then I guess technically yes

fierce edge
#

if it said for x not in \{1}

#

then yeah it is necessarily a function

#

also well all functions are relations

fierce edge
#

but yeah this was given on a test

#

made by phd’s so um

#

maybe im wrong

#

hence i asked

#

it’s also i think a state exam

rough trail
#

well you can't just go f:R → R, f(x) = 1/(x - 1) because that's inherently undefined, doesn't exist as a function OR a relation. You need something more clear, or you can make an assumption at the top.

#

just need to communicate the idea that you're mapping it to nothing for x = 1 instead of undefined

#

that is what I mean

fierce edge
#

i wanted to argue that the question is ambiguous 😭

#

cuz i think it eas

#

since it never specified anything

rough trail
#

do you have the exact question?

fierce edge
#

nope, but the question isn’t the issue

rough trail
#

if it didn't specify a domain, you can definitely say it's ambiguous and explain your thinking

fierce edge
#

they just went y = 1/(x -1) and yeah something else

#

the something else is irrelevant ig

rough trail
#

I mean to some extent it's conventional to assume the maximal domain when nothing else is mentioned, but you can still argue.

fierce edge
#

hmmm fair enough

dusty field
#

I need help with finding the limit

amber waspBOT
idle light
#

can you post the question

dusty field
vestal gale
#

danggg these limit questions!

#

well i think it might not be as bad as it looks, recall that the limit as x -> infinity of 1/x^2 would be 0

#

so i think in problems like these a good first step is to try factoring out an x^2 from those polynomials, does it make sense when i say that?

dusty field
#

Yeah

#

Is the solution -1/2

vestal gale
#

lemme try it on some paper rq

#

i got 0 actually, how did you get to your answer?

dusty field
#

I use the formula b-q/2√a

vestal gale
#

im not sure about that, i think you want to factor out an x^2 from both radicals

#

so for example, 4x^2 - 3x - 1 = 1/x^2 (4 - 3/x - x^2)

tropic wadi
dusty field
#

1/2

vestal gale
#

ah yes that's it, i messed up

dusty field
#

A harder one

vestal gale
#

this looks like one of those magical problems designed to bug students šŸ˜ if i said to multiply by the conjugate of the numerator on the top and bottom, would that make sense?

dusty field
#

Yeah

vestal gale
#

i think if you do that and simplify a bit you'll be able to solve it

dusty field
#

Is it 1/14

vestal gale
#

i think youre close, did you forget about the (2+sqrt(x-3)) on the bottom?

dusty field
#

Oh

#

It's -1/56

vestal gale
#

yeah that's what i got too!

dusty field
#

Is it?

#

Awesomee

#

Alright

#

how bout this one?

#

The last one I'm confused about

vestal gale
#

sorry lemme see here!

#

so this is a lhopitals chapter, right? im assuming from the first one

#

so if you simplify the t's a little bit, i think you can get this into the indeterminate form of 0/0

#

also consider that sin(0) is 0, and as such tan(0) is also 0!

dusty field
#

I didn't get zero

mint nacelle
#

probably sub $t = \frac{1}{u}$ so that you have $\lim_{u \to 0} \frac{3u/4 \cdot \sin^2 (-2u^2)}{3u^4 \tan(u/3)}$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

higher's secret twin brother

mint nacelle

#

Oh I see

#

can someone help?

neat wind
austere bloom
#

hi, if all the numbers are filled I know the answer but this time only 40 out of 42 are filled

#

how to take that into consideration?

lost star
#

I think you need to make cases (a lot of cases)

#

but I'm not very sure

coral wigeon
#

you need to use exactly 3 rows

#

how many ways can you pick 3 rows to use?

austere bloom
#

7c3?

coral wigeon
#

sure

#

now suppose you picked 3 rows

#

how many ways can you pick 3 entries that don't share a column

austere bloom
#

6c3?

#

what about the 40/42 numbers filled

coral wigeon
coral wigeon
#

what does that even mean though

neat wind
austere bloom
#

It was in my own language but I put it through google translate

neat wind
#

can we see what the untranslated version says

coral wigeon
#

so... no it was not the original

neat wind
austere bloom
#

same question tho if In english

#

:/

neat wind
#

maybe this is missing a "dua" near the start

coral wigeon
#

mqnic i think the question is:
how many ways are there to choose 3 cells in a 7 x 6 grid such that none of them share a row or a column

austere bloom
#

this is the question

coral wigeon
#

as for the 40/42 question though i'm still not sure exactly what that means

neat wind
#

this is also the same conclusion i came to

#

"empat puluh dua" would modify the problem to say 42 instead of 40

austere bloom
neat wind
#

since this other version kind of does not make sense

#

i c someone posted this same exact problem online but used 42 instead of 40 so

lost star
neat wind
#

this is very computationally intensive for competition problem

dull pike
#

Guys

coral wigeon
neat wind
dull pike
#

This is not about what do you think the problem says. This is about this exact problem

neat wind
#

i get that however i think this problem presentation is very suspicious

dull pike
#

He already said he knows how to do with 42

austere bloom
#

7c3 x 6c3 x 3! if im not wrong

#

but for 40/42

#

idk

#

:/

neat wind
#

:/

neat wind
coral wigeon
neat wind
#

again makes no sense but ig (this is definitely not how the problem would be phrased in indonesian nor english if this were truly the case)

coral wigeon
dull pike
austere bloom
#

yea

coral wigeon
#

i don't see a 40 there

austere bloom
#

empat puluh is 40

coral wigeon
#

ok i don't see a 40 in the translated version either

dull pike
#

Forty = 40

#

I don’t see your point

coral wigeon
#

ok i missed that

dull pike
#

I am sorry

coral wigeon
#

but the question is still unclear

dull pike
#

I agree, that doesn’t mean it is wrong

lost star
dull pike
#

When a question is wrong, we should be able to say exactly why is it impossible to solve

#

And I can’t do here

austere bloom
neat wind
#

the question is literally supposed to say 42

#

the 40 version makes no sense

lost star
austere bloom
neat wind
#

i have found like 7 different sources online that have used this exact problem but with 42 not 40

lost star
austere bloom
#

thanks

dull pike
neat wind
#

you will be wasting people time if you post this problem in that server

lost star
coral wigeon
#

mqnic > MODS

#

no irony in this statement

dull pike
#

Thats why i used both

coral wigeon
brazen birch

$\left( \binom{7}{3} \binom{6}{3} 3! \right) - 2 \left( \frac{\binom{7}{3} \binom{6}{3} 3!}{42} \right)$

grizzled pagodaBOT
brazen birch
#

i guess this is what the problem is saying

austere bloom
#

fr?

brazen birch
#

i might be wrong but, if 2 are empty then u just calculate the number of times each cell participated in a 42 full grid, then u subtract two of them

#

but i really dont ser any mistake in my calculation

#

maybe @coral wigeon @neat wind wanna check

coral wigeon
#

it's still not even clear what the 40 version of the problem is supposed to be

brazen birch
#

i see as the 42 but 2 cells are empty, you can put these 2 empty cells in random spots (because they dont matter where) and calculate, without touching those cells

coral wigeon
#

the amount is the same no matter which two cells are empty... yes i've convinvced myself of that i think

brazen birch
#

so then my solution is correct?

neat wind
#

no

brazen birch
#

what is the mistake?

coral wigeon
#

not sure about the thing you substracted off

brazen birch
#

it is the amount two cells participate in the whole combinations

coral wigeon
#

i'll try to compute that and see if i get the same thing

#

ok uh

brazen birch
#

is it the same?

coral wigeon
#

well nvm i'll need another minute

brazen birch
#

should be 4000

#

ok

neat wind
coral wigeon
#

hm i got something else

neat wind
#

is your number a perfect square

brazen birch
#

what he got

coral wigeon
#

let me think about it again

amber waspBOT
#

@austere bloom Has your question been resolved?

coral wigeon
#

x x 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0

say the two empty cells are the top left ones. for "non-attacking rook" 3-combinations from the 6 x 7 grid that use the top left corner, the ways to assign two non-attacking rooks with the top row and left column taken out of consideration (because the top left corner uses those) correspond to a choice of 2 of the 5 rows along with columns to use, and there 6*5 ways to choose (well order matters so that's kinda a bad word but whatever) columns. so (5 choose 2)*6*5 3-combinations use the top left corner. similar for the one right next to it. so there are 2*(5 choose 2)*6*5 combinations that use either of the blank cells

neat wind
coral wigeon
neat wind
#

that's good

coral wigeon
neat wind
coral wigeon
#

oops my grid is 6 x 7 not 7 x 6 but that doesn't really matter

#

k that's fine now we'll just use a 6 x 7 grid instead

hi mommy

Am I right?

cloud scarab
keen pawn
#

Yeah, but is my negation right?

vast spade
cloud scarab
#

Nope, proving A => B by contradiction typically means showing that not(B) => not(A)

cloud scarab
#

Proper negation would be "suppose b is rational. Then ab must be rational (because a is rational), hence we arrive at a contradiction"

coral wigeon
#

"reverses the conclusion of the implication" or something

severe scroll

the negation of A implies B is A and not B

idk what you’re asking me

#

We're working in the setting that a is rational

keen pawn
#

$\forall a,b \in \R$?

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Veni, vidi, perii is not f(wai)

severe scroll
severe scroll
cloud scarab
keen pawn
#

so I have $\forall a,b \in \R; a \in \Q \land ab \in R \setminus Q \implies b \in R \setminus Q$ and now I negate this and assume that to be true

cloud scarab
#

but I'm genuinely confused about what I said wrong

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Veni, vidi, perii is not f(wai)

severe scroll
coral wigeon

#

So to start , let's assume $\exists a, b \in \R;a \in R \setminus Q \land ab \in \Q \land b\in \Q$. We now digress for a bit to prove that the product of an irrational and non-zero rational number is irrational. Let $a \in \Q$ and $b$ be irrational. so we have $ab=c$, which means that $b= \frac{a}{c}$, which isn't possible by definition of irrationality. Thus $\exists a, b \in \R;a \in R \setminus Q \land ab \in \Q \land b\in \Q$, isn't true. We have arrived at a contradiction, which means our original assumption was wrong. Which completes our proof.

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Veni, vidi, perii is not f(wai)

severe scroll
#

wait that’s not the right negation though. you had (a in Q, ab in R\Q) implies (b in R\Q) as your original

#

so the negation of that part is (keep this part) and not (thing after arrow)

pseudo crescent
# keen pawn

Btw, unless you are required to do it by contradiction as a whole, this approach might be easier for you:

Suppose a, b in R, with a rational and ab irrational.
Now, for sake of contradiction, assume b is rational...

This way, you dont need to take negations of such monstronous statements

keen pawn
#

I know

keen pawn
quick spoke
#

also i would like to point out that this proof is a 'fake contradiction'

#

bcus really it's just the contrapositive

coral wigeon
#

@robust isle would be disgusted

robust isle
keen pawn
#

even I am

#

I'm just doing this for practice. It's a formality

pseudo crescent
#

Assume that the statement in question is false.
[Insert a sane proof of the statement in question]
Which contradicts the assumption, and so the statement in question is true.

keen pawn
#

Yeah, I know

Thanks a lot everyone!

Found this monster on MSE

chilly jackal
#

My intuition to simplify the bounds led me to substitute $\frac{(2x-1)^2}{4} = k$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

rak³en

chilly jackal
#

but then the integral is simply the integral of something from a to a, which is 0

#

So the answer's 0?

neat wind
#

mfw

elfin vale
elfin vale
#

You would have to split the integral into the negative and the positive part first

chilly jackal
#

Ah okay okay

#

wait still

#

I would split it as $\int_{\frac{1}{2} \left(-\sqrt{1+u} + 1 \right)}^{0} + \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2} \left(\sqrt{1+u} + 1 \right)}$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

rak³en

chilly jackal
#

no?

elfin vale
#

Yes

chilly jackal
#

then it becoems

#

$\int_{1-u}^0 + \int_0^{1-u}$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

rak³en

chilly jackal
#

which is again, 0

chilly jackal
# elfin vale Yes

Splitting doesnt help, because I still get 0. I assume the problem is with the substitution itself?

  1. The position function of a particle is given by (t+3)(5t-5)in meters,
    a. Find the position of the particle after 3s?
    b. Find the velocity of particle after 5s?
    c. Find the acceleration/deceleration after 3s?

Hello is my answer correct?
a. x(t) = (t + 3)(5t - 5)
x(3) = (3 + 3)(5 * 3 - 5)
x(3) = 6 * 10
x(3) = 60 meters

b. x'(t) = d/dt [(t + 3)(5t - 5)] = 5(2t + 1)

x'(5) = 5(2 * 5 + 1)
x'(5) = 5(11)
x'(5) = 55 meters/second (velocity)

c. x''(t) = d^2/dt^2 [(t+3)(5t-5)] = 20

x''(3) = 20m/s^2 (acceleration)
(I have no idea how to do this last part.)

i think my a and b are okay

#

Maybe not-, please guide me, but C i am completely lost

#

#

MAYBE MY B was wrong

Yeah okay sorry uh

#

The differentiation is wrong imo

undone hamlet

Hrn okay so

inland pulsar
#

5t²+10t+c will be 10t+10

#

Not 10t+5

undone hamlet
#

x(t) = (t+3)(5t-5) = 5t^2 + 10t - 15

inland pulsar
#

Rookie mistake šŸ¤“

undone hamlet
#

Did I do better?

undone hamlet
inland pulsar
undone hamlet
#

So because of that I can do the

#

dx(t)/dt thing

inland pulsar
undone hamlet
#

d/dt(t5^2+10t-15)=10t+10

#

so it becomes v(5)=10*5+10=50+10= 60m/s

undone hamlet
inland pulsar
#

m/s

#

Not ms

#

And c part is a bit wrong too

undone hamlet
#

AH alright thanks, wouldn't want another 60 what applesor bananas thing

inland pulsar
#

10t+5 or 10t+10
Neither gives 20

undone hamlet
#

okay lemme redo it

#

SO

#

BECAUSE OF THE ANSWER WE GOT FROM B

inland pulsar
undone hamlet
#

d/dt(10t+10) =10

inland pulsar

Yes

It will be 10m/s

(1+cos(x))^2 =/= 1+(cos(x))^2

#

when u multiply the 2 fractions u did that

#

idk i just tell u where u were wrong

#

so when u simplify the fraction it was also wrong

mint nacelle
#

try letting x = 2u so that you want the RHS to simplify to tan u

#

then there are some nice double angle identities you can use

#

can you simplify $\frac{\sin 2u}{1 + \cos 2u}$ then?

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

higher's secret twin brother

rancid raven
#

x=2u so u = ?

mint nacelle
#

yep! amazing

rancid raven
#

Done

mint nacelle
#

yeah and 2u = x in the start ofc

#

well, now you know the technique

rancid raven
#

With practice you can

mint nacelle
#

whenever you have x/2 and x, then it's natural to let u = x/2 so that you can use the double angle identities like you just did

#

it just follows by substitution

#

you can let u be anything!

#

oh well, time for you to prove that

#

that is indeed equal to |tan(x/2)|

#

try $\frac{1 - \cos}{1 + \cos} \frac{1 - \cos}{1 - \cos}$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

higher's secret twin brother

mint nacelle
#

basically once you get to the absolute value of sin(x) / (1 + cos x), you've shown it

#

great, now take the square root

#

you get the absolute value of (1 - cos x)/(sin x)

#

either way can you make (1 - cos x)/(sin x) become sin(x) / (1 + cos x)?

#

multiply top and bottom by something

#

your exercise

#

oh wait, 1 - cos^2 x = sin^2 x

#

yeah

#

yeah

#

$\cos^2 x = (\cos x)^2$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

higher's secret twin brother

mint nacelle
#

no

#

you have $(1 - \cos x)^2$ which is different

its not really a lesson,, i got it from a competition and it's the only problem i just couldnt solve

ok yeah irational equation

amber waspBOT
#

@shell barn Has your question been resolved?

raven knot
#

I mean, you're literally given that a is natural. Could just approximate the cube root of 4 as 1.6-ish, right expression is inbetween 0 and 1, left is about 20x1.6^2-16=35.2, to be a bit more precise 20x1.59^2-16=34.562, so the answer is about 5

shell barn
#

the answer is 5, yeah, but i found that you can simplify the nested root expression, so thats like the problem here - i dont know how write it

shell barn
#

<@&286206848099549185> if y'all dont mind

ancient snow
shell barn
ancient snow
#

Since a is natural I would try to square both sides

#

Maybe that can give you a form that's simplifyable

#

But that 31 gives me doubt about it

shell barn
#

i tried that, makes it worse lowkey

ancient snow
#

Yeah if it was a 32 maybe it could work

ancient snow
#

I don't see a better way to go about it

shell barn
ancient snow
shell barn
#

like how could i simplify to get it to that form

ancient snow
# shell barn like how could i simplify to get it to that form

So lets take the 20cbrt(4) - 31 for example you can get $20cbrt(4) - 31 = 202^{\frac{2}{3}}-31 = 1 - 32 +42^{\frac{2}{3}} + 16*2^{\frac{2}{3}}$ and now I'll say that some $b = 2^{\frac{2}{3}}$ to get $1 - 32 + 4b + 16b$ and futher more since $b^3 = 4$ we can get $1 + 4b - 8b^3 + 4b^4$ which is somewhat simplified

grizzled pagodaBOT
ancient snow
#

Hopefully didn't mess up some step there

shell barn
ancient snow
shell barn
#

so id assume i could also do this for the first expression too?

ancient snow
#

Yeah you should be able to

I'm not exactly sure what to ask, here. I'm trying to figure out how to plot an intercept with the equation -5=2x+y. I'm familiar with y=mx+b, but I'm pretty confused on how I'm supposed to plot this? Slope is 2, what is the -5? I'm afraid I don't understand, but I'd like to.

subtract 2x from both sides

#

#

This is apparently the solution, but I don't get why that is

gentle dome
#

He's asking you to rearrange the equation into the form y=mx + b

pallid canopy
low forge
#

Oh okay

gentle dome
#

When you do that you'll see why the slope isn't 2

low forge
#

Well, guess I'll hop off here. Since all I need is the video

#

you can use the .close or whatever it was

#

Thanks.

For 11a, I don't get the (f/g)(x) graph
It looks weird

cyan tiger
#

This is in the answer key:

fervent oasis
#

do you have f(x) and g(x)?

cyan tiger
#

Yep, i divided the values, and got the values for (f/g) (x)

#

However, when I plot it, it's making this weird shape

fervent oasis
#

you are looking composite functions?

cyan tiger
#

I have no clue what that is. Nor did we learn about it

#

We have only done graphs that involve parabolas, lines, and sometimes cubic and radical functions

#

But that's pretty much it

fervent oasis
#

f(x) = x+3, g(x) = -x-4

#

so: (f * g)(x) its just multiplying f(x) with g(x)

#

try multiplying (x+3)(-x-4)

cyan tiger
#

-x²-7x-12

#

It's a parabola, right?

fervent oasis
#

yep

#

its this

#

then (f/g)(x) is just dividing (x+3)/(-x-4)

cyan tiger
#

It's giving me a lot of decimals as the y values

#

And when I plot them, it's forming a weird thing, that I don't know how to connect

fervent oasis
cyan tiger
#

Oh nope, I didn't

#

I should try that

fervent oasis
#

yeah, some functions make some weird curves

cyan tiger
#

Ohhh so it's supposed to be this way?

fervent oasis
#

do you see that if x=-4, then the function would be -4+3/0

#

you can't divide by 0, thats why that weid figure is formed

cyan tiger
#

Ahh I get it now

#

Thank you so much!!!

#

You explain really well

#

I really appreciate it!

#

Have a good one! :))

yh man

#

i got today and tmrw tho

wheat grotto
#

b) B

calm pewter
#

the ans is b

#

becasue as speed decreases time increases

wheat grotto
#

its when 1 value increases the other one decreases

calm pewter
#

oh ok

#

so how does tht work

#

specifically

#

S = d/t

wheat grotto
#

The speed increases as much as the distance travaled increases in the unit of time

calm pewter
#

wai to for example R = V/I

#

resistance decreae current increase?

wheat grotto
#

kinda yeah

calm pewter
#

hmm ok i see

#

now im onto cones

#

1/3 x pi x 6^2 x 8

homie sorry but ima go to sleep

good luck with em

floor(log10(n)) + 1 is the number of decimal digits left of the decimal point
how would I compute the number of digits needed to the right of the decimal point to express the precision of a number?
for example:

  • 6 -> 0
  • 0.5 -> 1
  • 0.99 -> 2
  • 0.003 -> 3
mossy geode
#

You want to take the floor of the negative of the log base 10 of one over the number

#

i think let me check

arctic zealot
#

nope

#

I tried that already

#

I realize now that I'm not sure how such a function would act given a number whose decimal expansion is infinite

mossy geode
#

Idea

#

,, \forall x \in ]0,1[ , x = 0,a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

,, x =a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n} \times 10^{n}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

,, log_{10} (x) = n + log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n})

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

And we have a formula for the $log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n})$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

Hummmmm how to formalize that properly

#

I want to say that $log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n}) = n -1$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

So :

#

Waiiiitttt no

#

,, \floor{log_{10} (x)} = \floor{n + log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n})}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

Hehe AND :

#

,, \floor{log{10} (x)} = n + \floor{log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n})}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

And

#

,, \floor{log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n})} = n - 1

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

So :

#

,, n = \frac{\floor{log_{10} (x)} + 1}{2}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

Let's check it

#

Oups forgot a negative somewhere

mossy geode
#

It's

#

,, x =a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n} \times 10^{-n}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

So

#

,, log_{10} (x) = log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n}) - n

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

,, \floor{log_{10} (x)} = \floor{log_{10} (a_{1} a_{2} \dots a_{n}) - n}

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

Nah this ain't working

#

The thing is really interesting

#

Worth thinking about

arctic zealot
#

this is for a program I'm writing
I might just end up converting the number to a string and counting the characters

mossy geode
amber waspBOT
#

@arctic zealot Has your question been resolved?

grim forge
#

We have this function

#

Basically when a number like 1247.056 is passed in, it returns 0.056

#

We keep multiplying the number by 10 and checking if the result the function returns is 0

#

When it returns 0 the number of times we multiplied by 10 is the precision

#

@arctic zealot

mossy geode
grim forge
#

😦

arctic zealot
#

I just went ahead with the method of counting the digits after the decimal point in the string representation of the number

mossy geode
mossy geode
#

It's still on the back of my head cuz I still don't undertsand why the method I made doesn't work

grim forge
mossy geode
#

It's quite triggering if I must say

arctic zealot
#

float precision is the reason I even have this problem in the first place

#

I have 0.05 as a starting number and 0.05 * 3 ends up being 0.15000000…2

arctic zealot
grim forge
#

Why do you need that much precision though

arctic zealot
#

wdym

grim forge
#

Like I mean 0.15000000000...2 isn't that far off from 0.15

arctic zealot
#

the number is being displayed

#

I'm making a data plotting program

grim forge
#

Ah ok

#

That's annoying I see now

arctic zealot
mossy geode
#

@arctic zealot I literally did the proof again and endded up on -floor(log10(n)) - 1

#

Which doesn't works

#

I genuinely don't see where my logic is wrong

arctic zealot
#

floor(log10(n)) clearly isn't going to give you enough information

mossy geode
#

For the left digit

#

But you could do that for the right I think

arctic zealot
#

nah

mossy geode
#

Wait I found a formula that nearly works

#

,, \ceil{log_{10} (x \times 10^{n})} = n

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

Lilly (NasaExploration)

mossy geode
#

Where n is the number of digit

#

Which is exactly what Denzio321 gave earlier hahahahahaha

mossy geode
#

Well I am sorry it was a lots of fun to look into but I can't seems to find something

#

I am terribly sorry I need to sleep

I'm supposed to find the equation of this plane

#

So what I've gathered so far is that the plane has the same line of intersection and must pass through the point (-1,2,1)

vestal hatch
#

Have you found the line of intersection

split sail
#

yes I found the vector parallel which means i could just write the parametric equation of the line

#

the vector is <2,-5,-3>

#

which i found using the cross product of <1,1,-1> and <2,-1,3> (both are normal vectors to the two planes, so their cross product goes through the line of intersection)

#

but i'm honestly unsure how to find the vector normal to the plane i'm trying to find

amber waspBOT
#

@split sail Has your question been resolved?

vestal hatch
#

You actually need to find points on that line of intersection

#

At least 1 anyways

spark dragon
# split sail

have u learnt about family of planes? like the general form of any plane which passes through line of intersection of two planes

split sail
#

i haven't unfortunately

#

i only know how to construct the equation of a plane given a point on the plane and the normal vector

#

which would be a(x-x0)+b(y-y0)+c(z-z0)=0, where <a,b,c> is a vector normal to the plane and (x0,y0,z0) is a point on the plane

#

this equation is derived from the fact that the cross product of two orthogonal vectors is 0

#

i'm currently working through finding the normal vector and i think i'm getting it but i have to verify it
