I think I'm kind of getting it.
nice
make sure u write a little like summary that basically just says as the statement is true for n=k+1 it must be true for all n
oh its chill I can help
Okay, so let's see if I translate it right
For this question it's asking that for every positive interger n...
and it seems I think recursive?
for equation 2 start out by writing a formula in terms of n for the value of the sum of the sequence
is this where we use the weird s?
You dont really need to here tbh
I mean you can if you want to look fancy but there isnt really any need
Okay.
so the sequence is arithmetic
each term has a difference of 2 and the sequence starts at 1
so you can use the sum of series formula
where a is the first term and d if the difference
if you do there you get that the series is equal to
ferm term?
first mb
oh wait mb doing this just proves the whole thing without induction anyway
ye you might need to use the sum notation then
Then let's do the sum notation cause this does have to be induction
I will write down how to do the question on a whiteboard then send a screenshot
let's see if I can get it before you lol. (*( I doubt it)
I need to install the mathrwriter lol
whats that
a teacher of mine mentioned there's a mathmatical notation document editor
oh what so you type out maths notation in text
Yup
do u get what I wrote on the white board tho?
wdym the words?
well I can kind of see how we got to the last point, and how it proves the last thing, because essentailly that formula is just a distribute K+1^2, and we manaaged to kind of dissasemble it from the summation notation earlier
ye
so we've proved I beleive, yes?
the conclusion is just that because the statement is true for n=k+1 it must be true for all values of n
Thank you
You made this make a biiit more sense. At least through the pain medications

can someone help me with question 15
i understand you gotta use cosine law
but is the total angle the boat turned 120
and not 150
turned 30
but if youre doing a triangle from the start, turn and finish
the angle at the turn inside the triangle would be 150
exterior angle would be the 30

i can do the q this way, im just wondering if theres a better way to do it
The fact you know that’s a right angle, you can e.g. relate that to the tangent at said point 
if i find tangent at that point, its 2x
idk what to do after that
cause the (1,2) is just a point
so idk what i can do
also if i try perpendicular distance, i get an abs value, which i kinda dont want to deal with
You e.g. wanna consider the line [segment] between (1, 2) and (x, x^2), and the same tangent you have
See e.g. product of gradients is -1, dot product is zero etc etc
thinking about these, it feels ike one way or another, i need to make a tangent but.
do i find the normal?
and sub in (1,2) as a pt?
I mean, you could find the normal and consider that (1, 2) is on it
(Or that you know the normal gradient is, say, (x^2 - 2)/(x - 1), and that of the tangent is 2x, so [as per the “product is -1” thing, 2x * (x^2 - 2)/(x - 1) = -1, and…)
…which gets you the same thing 
so theres no escape from just factorising the polynomial really sadly
and subbing it in
I guess so

im not quite understanding how this works
i think that it has to do with one function being greater than the other but im not quite following
what happens if a function bigger than another function converges
what can you say about the smaller function
yeah
if a smaller function converges you can't say anything about the bigger function; it can diverge or converge
so since 1/x^3 is the larger function and we know it converges we can state that the smaller one converges
for the first part at least
yeah
but then for the second part 1/x^3 is smaller, so we can't do the same
am i understanding this right?
yep
got you

(x-a)^2 / z^2 + (y-b)^2 / z^2 + (z-d)^2 / k^2 <= h
Can this be simplified? (Idk how to use wolf bot thing)
Also what I mean by simplified is could it be dumbed down while still keeping the same variables and functions

i feel like i don't have to share context for the problem
its just plugging in kidn of thing
w initial is 200^2
w^2 is 50^2
all over
2(314)??
its confusing me
i do that but i don't get the right answer of -59.7
It is using the rotational kinematic equation
yes
Like but
I am aat the part of plugging and chugging the easiy part
but i cant get to -59.7 for some reason in my calc
Can you show your work?
i put in my calc
1 sec
i take pic
like i felt like its just basic plugs
but i end up yeah getting a negative answer but some weird fraction
-9375/157 is about -59.71

hopefully somebody knwos phsycis bc I DONT UNDERTSAND WHY THE EMISSITIVTY IN THE ANSWER IS 4. i did everything right but the 4
omll im going insane the question says e=1??
and this is the equation in the data booklet
P=eoAT^4
nice to see you're doing IB physics
so a sphere has surface area 4pi r^2
but at any one moment, the sun only shines on a disk of radius r at any one time
so the area illuminated is pi r^2
so the power radiated per unit area of the sphere
there's going to be a (pi r^2) / (4 pi r^2) = 1/4 in there
to understand concepts like these in more detail, I highly recommend the Tsokos textbook

prove that there no positive real integers such that x^2 - y ^2 = 10
(proof by contradiction algebraically, i cant test values)
what i did was i just put it as (x-y)(x+y) = 10, and after some solving got x = (10-y(x-y))/(x-y) hence we get x in the form of p/q, so its rational and not an integer. But i dont think that this is correct. I also tried another approach where x = root ( 10-y^2) but then idk where to go from there
would showing it by like taking x and y as a both an even and both as odd number, and do two different proofs, ( becuase for x^2 + y ^2 to be equal to 10, both x and y have to both either odd or even)
so take x as 2a and y as 2b, and then take x as (2a+1) and y as (2b+1) and show it dosent work in both those cases
you're overcomplicating this by a lot
any real number squared cannot be negative
so if x = 4 and x^2 = 16, then there are no solutions
you just have to test x = 1, 2, 3 and you can swap x, y so that is sufficient
isnt it false btw?
i know i know thats what i want to do
but my teacher keeps saying in proof by contradiction
lmao yes (x, y) = (3, 1) or (1, 3)
gl getting your contradiction then lol
that's a strange request
also the thing you want to prove isn't even true
ya thats true
i think the wquestion is bugged
i think it should be x^2 - y^2 = 10
but the questgion says x^2 +y^2 =10
but even then
the strategy would be (x - y)(x + y) = 1 * 10 = 2 * 5
ya thats what i did first
then got x as p/q
well then you don't get integer values of x, y
wait the question is to prove that there exists no positive couple of integers satisfying x² + y² = 10?
yes but it has to be a typo
it could be this

I want to learn about composition of functions when main function is given into piece wise intervals
Where is t(u)
@spice dagger Has your question been resolved?
Actually it is x not u
Still
Where is t(x)
You can't find (f o t)(x) with only f(x)
Ah
Sry for bad handwriting
Put each part in the x of itself
Idk how to explain it right
For example
In the first part
Put (-x) in (x) so it will be -(-x) which means x
In second put (x) in (x) so it will stay x
In third part
Put (2-x) in x so (2-(2-x)) so x
In this question (f o f)(x) will be = x for all x belongs to R
Oh god
Math is beautiful
Please if you didn't understand me ping helpers they will be better at explaining

if E is closer from A than in this picture... like very close....
then area of CDE is kinda area of CDA...
u can draw the height coming from the point E to the base CD in triangle EDC
hmmm
wait what
drop an altitude from E?
cause
say the altitude from E is the segment [EH]
EHDA would be a rectangle
thats cause any quadrilateral with three right angles is defined as a rectangle

anyways if you really wanna solve for area of CDE better to take 1/2 CD * DE * sinCDE
name c the square side
1/3 area of square ABCD is c^2/3
i'm lost isn't it just 2 right angles
heyy
oh yeah wait
can i like bound this?
to account for the sin
lemme try
the square gives u two right angles, and the altitude gives u a right angle
again if you don't have any specifications on where E is
take E close enough to A
area of CDE is kinda area of CDA so c^2/2
area of ABCD/3 is c^2/3
Why do I have the area of CDE as exactly half the area ABCD?
i tried this:
1/2 c^2 sin(CDE) < 1/2 (CD) (DE) sin(CDE) = A
eh 0< sin(CDE) < 1
technically ED > AD = c
where'd you get k(k+1)/2
similarity
with?
EAF and CDF are similar
so height is k times
base is same for CFD and EFD
so area is k times
what height are you using for EDF
FEA and FED are same height diff base, so diff area
AE
why
ok yes
CD is height, DF is base
So why is this inequality question, when there is a clear equality relation here 😭
IDK
😭
I am so frigging dumb. We dont even need this shit. The base is CD and height is AD for the triangle
ofc area is half
😭
rip
i'm still confusedd how the height is AD
did you just move E to a more convenient place
so that you get that the height is AD?
Perpendicular from E on the base CD
that height has same length coz the lines are parallel
draw a line perpendicular to (CD)
and the line parallel to (CD) that passes through E
no matter where that line is
the (perpendicular) segment between those parallel lines always has the height as its length
frick and I just read thru above messages and youssef said this already. AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
yeah man
😭 no i think i'm done
i've been trying to draw the perpendicular
okay i'll just draw it
?
or idk assume this is the perpendicular
depending on what angle D is
can u send the picture of this
i'm probably being dumb or smth
this one is right
did u seriously draw this when i asked u to draw the altitude from E lmao
😭 that was in my mind
tbh in my mind i had multiple caseworks
for when D is right, acute, and obtuse
okay okay
so i didn't know which altitude
we're using
doesn't it depend on whether EDC is an acute, right, or obtuse triangle
if it's right then the altitude is on ED
no
yeah so wouldn't this be right if D was acute
for each point
yeah but 😭
i meant i had to do the casework for which type of triangle?
i didn't know what u meant
are we assuming that
D is obtuse?
but the question maker said u can't rely on the diagrams
which don't have to be drawn to scale
ughhh
yeah it's a much easier question i think
EF || AD
and yeah ED > EF = AD
how
ok
we agree that AED is a right triangle in A yes?
ADE would be an acute angle
0 =< ADE =< 90
and ADC = 90
so
yes
90 =< ADE + ADC =< 180
thank you!! looks like i need ALOT of revision for this topic 😭💀 I'm still a bit confused but ur explanation has helped me move one step further to understanding!.. sorta! thank you so much
wait what 😭
one is like "on top"
this drawing is confusing my senses
its
but yes i agree that CDA is 90
and also agree that ADC is acute
no it isnt
u meant ADE?
.
either way
ok yeah okay that's obvious
😭 thank you
the drawing looks like 3d to me
cuz of EC
and so i was confused
for the most part
wait i still am
are u kidding me
EDCBA
😭 i can't see it how you're seeing it
i'm confused
i have the whole 3d shape in my head
just help me with that part idk how
but if u can
which part
:((
i
i see it 3d yes but cant u js control ur mind
and view it 2d
or try drawing the line EC continuous instead of
line by line
why tf is it in dashed line anyway
yeah this isnt technology
ok so
uh
1/3 area of ABCD < area of DCE
thats all
goodbye
NOOOO not the math
😭
I need help seeing this in 2d LOl
okay i think i'm just giving up on this nonsense
but yes i get the math
thanks for that
do as u please
okay i got it
the EC line does intersect with AD
my head doesn't want it to intersect
cuz they don't in 3d
mmmm
okay thanks guys
it's pretty easy now

false $A ={1}; B={2}$
A dense set
$A \cup B={1,2}$
A dense set
and X?
$X =A \cup B$
A dense set
A dense set
I haven't taken set theory but something doesn't seem right about the first proof
I think this could use some work
but does it say that that there are no a,b, with 42a + 7b = 1?
there is an extended version which implies it, but you dont need it
got it
this proof can be understood by a 6th grader
$\frac{42a-1}{7}=b$
A dense set
did you finish the other one
no
*sighs*
no fractions please
$42a \equiv 1mod(7)$
A dense set
the other other one? modular arithmetic?
I have to check this
yes
It's not a proof, its a counterexample
that's not possible then???
This is false, so not possible
can you write out the proof?
physics?
Why is this true?
i assume he got it from this
i dont recall fractions in the defn of modulo though
they aren't
shh
got it
i just want wai to formulate the proof in the right way
yeah, $42a-1=7b$
A dense set
okay, and?
So I have to chck if $42a \equiv 1mod(7)$
Why?
does this imply 42 = 1 (mod 7)?
A dense set
ok, 42a-1 isn't a multiple of $7$ under any circumstance, thus not possible
this one is fine
A dense set
Why?
Let $a$ be even
A dense set
it's not
so 1, 6 or 5?
try looking back at the original question
look at the left hand side
look at the right hand side
This?
no, 42a + 7b = 1
okay
and no fractions
$a=bq+r$
A dense set
so $42a=-7b+1$
A dense set
can you name some numbers of the form 42a + 7b? What property do they all have? And does 1 have this property?
They are all divisible by 7
I feel like you are sometimes too proof-mindseted
yeah
maybe just try examples sometimes
and get some intuition before starting a proof
got it.
starting a proof is useless if you dont even have idea yet
there is nothing to cry about, you're able to both get an idea and do the proof
you just need to do it in the right order

I'm following a trigonometry book and it explains radians with this theorem that i don't understand: "The angles at the center of a circumference and the corresponding arcs constitute two classes of directly proportional quantities"
Yh that's rlly confusing 😭😭
But I think what it's tryna say is
What's the formula yk for circumference of an arc
In terms of radians it becomes theta*r and therefore they're directly proportional quantities
W the constant of proportionality being the radius
But it's super duper weird and confuddling
To understand radians?
The way I understand it
Is yk how there's 360 degrees in a full rotation
Similarly there's 2pi radians in a full rotation
That's all radians are
But they're rlly useful
This redefinition
Because the formula for the arc length of a circle in degrees is theta/360 * 2pi*r
But in radians u won't divide by 360 you'll divide by 2pi
And then it'll become theta*r
Which is WAY cleaner
What do you mean by yk?
You know

Sorry i found another thing in the book
After it introduces the theorem he used l/r = l'/r'
,rotate
I don't understand why he said that before and then used another proportionality
Yes
ok
so let's find the arc length of both circles
the smaller one:
${l = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}r}$
k
the bigger one:
${l' = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}r'}$
k
@mellow venture do u agree with this?
Yes
ok
so let's rearrange
${l = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}r \implies \frac{\alpha}{2\pi} = \frac{l}{r}}$ and ${l' = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}r' \implies \frac{\alpha}{2\pi} = \frac{l'}{r'}}$
k
since ${\frac{\alpha}{2\pi} = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi} \implies \frac{l}{r} = \frac{l'}{r'}}$
k
So they are directly proportional
But why the theorem says that the angles and the arcs are direct proportional
k
u can actually see the proportionality from either equations
${l = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}r$. Let ${k = \frac{\alpha}{2\pi}}$, so ${l = kr \implies l \propto r}$
k

Can I have some help with this? I really don’t know what to do I forgot
well we have a quadratic here
we do?
how do I even get it in the form ax^2 + bx +c
and also how do I find the value of p where it has equal roots
<@&286206848099549185>
Treat (p^2 + 11), (-12p), and p^2 as coefficients.
and what does that mean
sorry I’m just not the best with math terminology my teacher always says it very simply so 😭
a = p^2 +11
b = -12p
c = p^2
ahh okay
Then it just becomes a matter of finding the values of p for which the discriminant is greater than 0.
so trial and error I’m guessing?
Do you know what the discriminant is?
b^2 - 4ac?
Yes. And when the discriminant is greater than 0, that implies two Real roots.
What did you get?
Yes.
so tell me why I’m getting 47p^2 = p^3
You're mathing wrong.
okay what is (-12p)^2
144p^2
Yes.
Yes.
nvm
wiat a sec
I’m so dumb
I collected the terms 144p^2 - 4p^3 + 44p^2 to
144p^2 + 44p^2 when it’s takeaway
That should be - 4p^4 btw.
That's one way to approach the problem. What do you want to do next?
You could, but doing so eliminates a potential answer.
Be careful when dividing out variables.
wait no I wrote the question down wrong it’s EQUAL roots not just real
so I just need 1 value
so I’m guessing it is just 5
So you need to find p when the discriminant is equal to zero then.
It's not only just 5.
You would be better served by keeping the terms on one side set equal to zero and find the factors.
$25p^2 - p^4 = 0$
Kookiemon
Factor the left-hand side(LHS) and find the roots.
Yes. Well p equals +-5. This is where a condition in the problem that p > 0 comes into play eliminating two of the possible solutions.

i got f(2) = 4a-2b+3
lim from left side = 0
from right side = 4a-2b+3
whats the next step?
What is the question?
Find the values of a and b that make f continuous everywhere.
what are the conditions for continuity
if f(2) is = to the limit from both sides
How did you get 0 from left side ?
l hopital rule?
ok sure
(x-2)(x+2)
ok
And simplify top and bot
for the function to be continuous everywhere:
a) it has to be continuous in each segment. 1st segment is everywhere but 2 (but it's not defined there), the others are.
b) it has to be continous in the borders, in this case, x=2, and x=3
For it to be continuous in each border, the side limits need to be equal, and equal to the value of the function. So compute the value of the function in x=2, at x=3, and both side limits on 2 and 3

i am in desperate need of help with this question
no idea what to do, no idea where to start
this should be done with using differentiation
<@&286206848099549185>
okay so how can we relate the areas of the two triangles
area ast and area abs is in ratio 1:2
doing the sine area rule, 2xy=bc
looking at cosine,
wait lemme write
ive tried doing smth with this before but idk what it would lead to
nvm i got it

I can't figure out how to evaluate this limit. I keep getting [0/0]. I know that it's supposed to be negative infinity from the left and positive infinity from the right, but in order for me to even get infinity I need a non-zero numerator. Does anyone know what I should do? I'm not allowed to use the sin(a)-sin(b) formula.
1-1-1 = ?
@glad tiger Has your question been resolved?
yes, but that doesn't give me anything useful. It's just (2cos(t)+1)(cos(t)-1)
here's the full thing @pulsar coyote
Where is the original question
yeah, the very top one. It's a parametric equation
Take a picture or screenshot
I already did the horizontal and vertical tangents
I'm struggling with the one where both the top and bottom are 0
,tex .double angle
riemann
At that step try subbing sqrt(1-cos^2(t)) for sin(t), then let u=cos(t)
Polynomials are generally easier than trig functions
wait I have an idea
if I multiply the top and bottom by cos(t)+1, I get
success
limit does not exist because left != right
Domain of t=?
oh right
0 <= t <= 2pi
wait but
that would mean it's infinite?
and a vertical asymptote
because there is no negative
I think
You have 4 factors to check the sign of
(I know I can't do this)
but it helps
that's 3sin(t)
so then if t < 0 (which is can't be with the restricted domain), then it'd be -2/0^-1, but then if t > 0, then it'd be -2/0^+
but that doesnt make sense... the derivative graph shows the opposte
actually wait no it does because I forgot the negative sign on the bottom

okay so upon further inspection, I made a series of errors

what stops this from being “D”? (answer is C)
D is 2,3,4
Dont need a long answer just reviewing for my test right now
Ahh ok
Yeah ok I just saw they're all degree 4, and all x-intercepts are shown. So that means that graph 2 has all it's x-intercepts at x=-1
So it has multiplicity 4, not 2
Oh thats a good way to be 100% sure
Also
Tried this middle question twice, got no where at all
Do you know where / how to start?
missing words “where c and d are intergers”
It might help to recall that if p, q, r are all polynomials, pq is a factor of r if and only if both p and q are
yes so factorise and solve x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
what numbers can you substitute into the cubic polynomial?
x-4 x+1 is the factors
How do i know if theres c and d in the cubic tho?
no, you have to approach this with the factor theorem
I mean polynomial long division would be super messy
yeah
actually there is another method based on comparing coefficients
Factor theorem is probably the easiest way but division and comparing coefficients will work too
well write x + 1 as x - (-1)
Well i just substitute in -1 for x, = 0 right
no need for any division btw, (x^2 - 3x - 4)(x + b)
compare the coefficient of x^2 with -6
yeah
yeah thats why i said using factor theorem is easier than division
-1 - 6 - c + d = 0
-7 + d = c
you should be able to correct your work now
Oh
i substitute this into the original equation?
Or after i substitute the -1
wait you didn't use x - 4 yet?
Didnt touch it

hiii can i send pictures?
yes
is that good? :)))
okay, so if we increase each side by the same amount, say x
can you come up with an expression for the volume of the new box?
volume=height times length times width or something to that degree
yes
so what are the new sides?
if we increase 4 by x what do we get
ummmm 4..?
5
what does x equal
if it’s 2 then the answer is 6 prob
Can’t you just use algebra to figure it out?
Or do you need a graphical solution
