yeah
write out the whole thing
don't oversimplify the description to
answer is no.1
because i have nfi what you mean by that
You have an expression a + b = c, where
a = c - b
b = c - a
c = a + b
If you eliminate the expression (a + b = c where a = c - b, b = c - a and c = a + b you get -2a - 2b + 2c = 0) and the given question (a + b = c) you get δ1. Then continue simplifying the expression with (a = c - b, b = c - a and c = a + b) . Every time you simplify the expression eliminate with the δ1, δ2,δ3 till infinity.
now?
ok
listen
so
the
question
a+b=c
i gave the values of a, b, c
so
input the values of a,b,c
in the question
that is
δ1
still have nfi what you're getting at...
answer to what
you're still being extremely unclear in your explanation
you just ended up with an equivalent equation
Substituting the values of a, b, c in the expression a + b = c you get [ (c - b) + (c - a) = (a + b) ] = -2a - 2b + 2c = 0, consider this solution as “Expression 1”. Now try to eliminate “Expression 1” and the given question (a + b = c), you get:
-2a - 2b + 2c = 0
a + b - c = 0
-3a - 3b + 3c = 0
Consider -3a - 3b + 3c = 0 as “Solution 1”
We know that “Expression 1” has different variables like a, b, c (-2a - 2b + 2c = 0), so now plug in the values of a, b, c in “Expression 1” you get [-4(c - b) - 4(c - a) + 4(a + b) = 0] = 8a + 8b - 8c = 0, consider this solution as “Expression 2”. Now eliminate “Expression 2” and “Solution 1 ” we get:
8a + 8b - 8c = 0
-3a - 3b + 3c = 0
11a + 11b - 11c = 0
Consider 11a + 11b - 11c = 0 as “Solution 2 ”
We know that “Expression 2” has different variables a, b, c (8a + 8b - 8c = 0), so now plug in the values of a, b, c in the “Expression 2” we get [8(c - b) + 8(c - a) - 8(a + b)] = -16a - 16b + 16c = 0, now consider this solution as “Expression 3”. Now eliminate “Expression 3” and Solution 2” we get:
-16a - 16b + 16c = 0
11a + 11b - 11c = 0
-27a - 27b + 27c = 0
It goes on till infinity
Hence, we get a series of -, -, + and -, +, +
We get -, -, + when we eliminate a greater even expression and a least odd expression of:
-ax - bx + cx = 0
ay + by - cy = 0
-az - bz + cz = 0 (-, -, +)
Where “x” is constant through the entire expression having the same value which is plugged in with a, b, c where a, b, c is greater even expression. “Y” is constant through the entire expression having the same value which is plugged in with a, b, c where a, b, c is lesser odd expression. And “z” is the constant value that we get after the elimination.
We get +, +, - when we eliminate a greater even expression and a least odd expression of:
ax + bx - cx = 0
-ay - by + 3c = 0
az + bz - cz = 0
Solutions for the given expression goes on like
-az - bz + cz = 0
az + bz - cz = 0
-az - bz + cz = 0
az + bz - cz = 0
…..
And so on
Hence, for the expression a + b = c where
a = c - b
b = c - a
c = a + b
and gave it a different name
here
a = c - b
b = c - a
c = a + b
are all different forms of the original equation
doing substitution into itself like this will either yield a trivially true statement or something equivalent to what you started with
a + b = c isn't really a question
yeah they are different forms of the original equation
it is
when u read the question fully
dumb!

hello
hello
x² = 4. So x = +- sqrt(4) = +- 2
ye how is it xto the power of 2 =4?
just divide each side by 5
why's that
that it becomes x² = 4 ?
4x² = 8 ? Same, divide by 4, gives x² = 2, so x = +- sqrt(2)
what
wdym what
didn't understand a single part of that sentence
you don't divide by 2 numbers
then just say 4 / (-8)
so am i wrong or right
what are you trying to do
I don't understand what you are doing with this equality

is this integration by parts no matter which way i go?
Unless you integrate with respect to y first and then x
I'd imagine integrating with respect to y first will give you the simplest path to the answer.
i thought so too
its still gonna be integration by parts tho isnt it?
its been a while lol..
No, rather u-sub
Yep. Just checked and it looks like a obvious substitution problem after that.
sad that I was going to attempt the usub off the rip but instead just overlooked it.
thanks guys
Should get e^(16) - 1 it seems from a quick calculation. The clue was the coefficient of the exponential being one degree lower than the exponential term.
oh darn
i misread the problem i think
you meant higher?
one degree higher right?
$\int_{0}^{2} 6x^2 e^{2x^3}\dd{x}$.
stabulo
Notice the derivative of 2x^3 is conveniently 6x^2.
If u = 2x^3 then du = 6x^2dx so it quickly simplifies to
$\int_{0}^{16} e^u \dd{u}$.
stabulo
like i said its been months since i've done integration
sad i forget it all so fast lol.
😢
i forgot the 6
in front of the problem when i wrote
so it threw me off completely lol
thanks again!

Hey, I'm currently trying to learn thales' theorem. Could anyone explain it to me ?
it's just that if there's an inscribed triangle with a right angle, the hypotenuse is the diameter
it's easy to see from this theorem
Hm, I see. I was mostly wondering about the way to prove it. I've heard that proving it is really long/complicated
as in that case, the angle would be 180, so the angle on the circumfernece would be 90
hm I don't think it's complicated
let me have a look
oh yeah I remember this proof
do you want me to just shhow you it or do you want a hint
I'd prefer you showing me. I don't have any excercises to do it on, just trying to learn it
alright gimme a sec
take your time
what are the sum of the angles equal to @cerulean temple
also they're isoscleles cus AO OC AND OB are all the radius
shouldn't it be 180 degrees ?
90 ?
Oh yeah, one sec lets see
alpha + beta = 180 no ?
unless im missunderstanding it completely
right angle ?
I do apologise if im getting this wrong, english isn't my native language so i might be getting half this stuff wrong :/
triangle AOC is isosceles, so angle CAB = angle ACO
angle ACO is alpha, as I labelled
so angle CAB is alpha
using the same logic what's angle CBA
OCB ?
so angles in triangle ACB = 180 = alpha + (alpha + beta) + beta
180 = 2 alpha + 2 beta
do you see the final step to finish the proof?
Sadly no
Ohhhhh
QED
no problem

probability of 3 dices,addition of gained number is <7
honestly you may just want to figure out the cases in which the sum is less than 7, then divide that by the total number of possible combos (6^3 = 216)
if the first dice is 6,it fails
5 fails too
<7
not=
1: (4,3,2,1)
4,1,1
3,2,1
3,1,1
man this is annoying
too many probabilities
casework be like that sometimes
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 2 1
2 1 1
1 2 2
2 1 2
2 2 1

3 2 1
1 1 4
1 4 1
4 1 1
tell me if i missed any
about 112 and 121
are they the same?
it gives the same number in addition
but the second dice and third dice rolled different
assuming orders matter
1 2 1 means u get 1 on the first roll, 2 on the second roll, 1 on the third roll
but yeah
unless stated probably
its different on the host of the probability
cuz if it is "all dices are rolled on the same time" then orders dont matter
ahh ok, then ignore permutations
so just :
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 1 3
1 1 4
1 2 2
1 2 3
2 2 2
the only numbers are (1-4)
yes
(x+y+z)<7
ye
oh u're finding the denominator part?
whats that
for the probability
so far u got P = 7/something
i assumed u were trying to find that something
im just trying to work out an equation that shows how the number affects the other numbers
idk if that's even possible
4,1,1
ohh
so like for example u roll a 1 on the first try
u want to figure out how the probability changes?
you must roll (1-4) on the second dice
but the second dice affects the number needed on the third dice
hurts my head
x=4 y=(1/6) z=(1/6)
x=3 y=(1/3) z=?
if y rolls a 2, z must get 1
but feels like its the same
just 2 and 1
lol

Number 5
hi
Purely imaginary means real part is 0
Just consider the real part to be 0 and see what you get
I feel like you should get a circle
i got y squared - yi - 2y -2
is that the equation of circle?
@coarse apex
Or is that a semi circle assuming that the equation of the circle is x²+y²-2ax-2by-c XD
How did you get that
No
They are not saying that Z is purely imaginary
It says that the whole function is purely imaginary
x is the real part of Z, not real part of (Z-2i)(zbar-1)
Ignore the upper part
Its the circled one
Like this ?
Should i cross the the real part now ?
Oh wait maybe it
Should draw the circle then say that it only moves on the diameter of the circle (the one perpendicular to the x axis cz its imaginary)
Lemme draw it for demonstration
Just equate that to 0
Yea but then the imaginary part is an equation of two unknowns
Why do you think so
Do you know how to find the radius and center from the equation of a circle?
No
Oh i wait yes i get it -2ax and -2by calculate the coordinates of the center
C calculates the radius
Which is equal to redical a²+b²+r
X²+Y²-2ax-2by+c
Yes

I got -8 as my final answer.
Does that make sense?
I might’ve messed up I only learned it 2 days ago and I’m trying to understand
no, you've made some sign errors and some questionable decisions
like so many sign errors
x^2 - 8x + 15 factorises to (x-3)(x-5)
Sonny, you did some weird stuff after you got (x-3)(x-5)/(x-3)
there was no need for any of that sign manipulation and the invalid work that went with it
@fierce cradle what happened here
I was trying to replicate the sign changes my professor made:
don't blindly do patch work
I didn't I swear that expression could factorize and I needed to do sign manipulation
note that the reason the factored -1 out was because their coefficient of x^2 was negative
which makes it easier to factorise
the coefficient of x^2 was already positive, factoring out -1 like that is unwarranted
also note that you had
(x-3)(x-5) expanding out to
x^2 - 5x -3x +15
which is actually x^2 -8x+15
and not the x^2 **+**8x +15 you wrote below that
,W factorise x^2-8x+15
shit i messed up
Was the rest of the process right besides the sign changes?
no
oh
for some reason the minus sign in
(x-5) turned into a +
Yeah, because I was trying to manipulate the signs of the expression because I thought I couldn't factor the original one out.
What were you tryna factorise here
O
there's valid manipulation and then there's changing stuff on a whim
Yeah I'm sorry this was just a bad attempt
X-5 = X+δ
without the first sign screw up, you'd have
lim as x to 3 of (x-5)
at which point you can sub in x=3
Thanks again you guys are great

can someone point me in the right direction for this?
i don't really know what to do here
draw 2 triangles
yea i got that far too
find 2 expressions for h
does "vertically challenged" mean short
that's really funny if so
but yeah, just draw a triangle of all the distances first
so that answer i am getting is 3806 feet
but i used tan
but if i do cot i get 4166(?)
probably a problem in approximations
but mount doom is 4500
hmmm
what 2 expressions did you get for h using tan
assuming you labelled the unknown horizontal distance as something like x or a
that's what i did at least
x tan 16 = (5000+x)tan12
i calculated more precisely and i got 4115
what did you get x as
14362
im guessing you rounded things like tan 16 and tan 12 then
yes
if you can it's probably a good idea just to leave them as tan 16 and tan 12 in your calculations
otherwise you won't get the exact correct answer
the question instructs you to round to the nearest hundred so i guess it's 4200
it's 4100
or at least that's what i got
i got 4107
i wonder where is it that it's going wrong
wait so the answers give 4500?
the book doesn't provide answers
but mount doom from lotr which the question is very obviously reffering to stands at approx 4500 feet
i mean i wouldn't trust the textbook to use the actual height of mount doom
that's truee ig
Well depending on how well you round the answers fall between 3800 and 4200 so clearly they're just assuming mount doom is 4100 feet
i guess i can move on then
they should have given nicer values ngl
or atleast told the height of mount doom
agreed

@solar badger Has your question been resolved?
You have two possibilities :
-By induction : at every step of Dijkstra, you have the shortest path to the frontier
-By contradiction : consider a strictly shorter path and the first vertex that's different from Dijkstra
what do you mean by "the first vertex diff from Dijkstra"
You take P the path you get from Dijkstra and P' the other path. You take the first vertex of P' that is not in P

Why isn’t there the possibility that x belongs to A and x belongs to C
Or X belongs to B and x belongs to A
Is it because we don’t care about these cases since when belongs to A, it actually satisfies A union (B intersection C)
both of those cases belong in the 1st case (x∈A)

Hi, I'm trying to parametrize this but I'm not quite sure how to do so
Kinda confused about the concept of parametrization in general
@drifting bison Has your question been resolved?
I'm not sure how well I can help with that problem but I can help with understanding parametrization
I'm relatively new to it too
Sure, I mean anything helps
Parametric equations you can think of as a list of functions for each variable
So they'd be written something like $\alpha(t) = (\text{Function of x}, \text{Function of y}, \text{Function of z})$
B\infty
All in terms of t, which I guess could be anything
So the function f(x) = x + 2 could be written
$\alpha(t) = (t, t + 2)$
B\infty
Where the first part of that is how x behaves, and the second part is how y behaves with respect to x
This set is a little weird to parametrize because it is a tube and not a one dimensional curve
Given f(x) = x + 2, f(5) would be 7
As such, alpha(5) would yield (5, 7) which is the point on the graph of f(5)
Yeah, that's what I'm a bit confused about as well. This is for a multivariable calculus course I'm taking
Oh sorry, I should probably mention, the constraint given is that a,b > 0
Are you directly asked to parametrize this or is this to solve a problem?
The first part is to directly parametrize it
And then the second part is to use the parametrize to calculate the surface area by taking a double integral
Can you parametrize it with a single variable or is two variables allowed?
It doesn't have to be two variables, it just wouldn't be a continuous parametrization (and probably not suitable for what you need to do, for integration) if it was a single variable
But to do 2 variables you could do theta from 0 to 2pi and t for the y, yeah?
Something like (a cos(theta), t, a sin(theta)) where 0 <= theta < 2pi and 0 <= t <= b
ahh, I see what you're saying
And then finding the surface area I would just take the double integral of r dr d theta with the bounds you mentioned?
I'm also taking multivariable calculus right now, but my class hasn't gotten into double integrals yet. I am unsure, but that is probably right.
Oh ok gotcha
Yea, that parametrization seems right to me, but I'm still a bit iffy on parametrization as a whole
Thanks!
good luck

what test would I use to determine convergence / divergence
comparison I guess
limit or direct
wdym
limit comparison or direct comparison
hmm idk, what I have in mind is doing a taylor expansion
o does ln(k)/ k^4 not work
Right, but that's not enough on its own for convergence of the series.
What tests do you know so far?
uhh
Spoiler ||D'Alembert ?||
i know all the important ones
root integral geo tele ratio pseries
limit comparison direct comparison
I'd recommend limit comparison with 1/k^3.
but wouldn't the limit diverge
o wait
k^3 mb
but that lim approaches infinity though
i mean it approaches
0
sorry
but anyways
Lim of ln(k)/k should converge
yea to 0
Ah, you have the weaker version of the test.
L<inf means converge -> converge and 0<L means diverge -> diverge
You can use integral test, but it's a bit annoying.
Or just ratio to 1/k^3, assuming you also don't have a bad version of ratio test. 🙂
o wait
couldn't i just
use a direct comparison to ln(k)/k^2
since that converges and is always more than ln(k+1)/k^4
we can say that ln(k+1)/k^4 converges
K=1 is sad for the standard direct comparison, but you can remove finite inital terms
And yes, that should work.
Integral?
oh then i might as well just use ln(k)/k and make it easy on myself
If only that converged
doesn't it
Does it?
The original question should converge
Because direct comparison with diverge doesn't mean that the first one diverges
you can just compare it to (k+1)/k^4
yea i still don't know about maximo's cause that converges to 0 and i just feel like sticking to the test I was taught
L<inf means converge -> converge and 0<L means diverge -> diverge
but ye ln(k)/k^2 worked
uhh now the last question i got
is
how do i do any of this
i just need one example and i could probably figure out the rest
This is a concept question, testing if you understand what's going on.
Try plugging in sn in the first one.
lim n > infinity Sn = L
Yep
wtf that's so simple
when i see things that short i usually think to myself
am i doing it right so
The only one that could be troublesome is c
yea was just thinking that
woudln't that laos
also just be L
yea all i can think of is L
since Sn = Ak where k is just heading to infinity
if you have two series, a and b, and the terms of a < the terms of b, then if b converges a must converge as well
since (k+1)/k^4 = 1/k^3 + 1/k^4 is a convergent series, and ln(k+1) < k+1 for sufficiently large k, ln(k+1)/k^4 < (k+1)/k^4
so the series for ln(k+1)/k^4 must converge as well
i understand
i was just saying how my example works
because im sure you've learnt about the direct comparison test before
yea you're talking about the direct comparison i was looking at my limit comparison
that's my bad
No, this is asking about an, not sn
yea i get that
since Sn = Ak where k is just heading to infinity that was my line of thinking
Sn is importantly ADDING up all the infinite an
It's not the most obvious thing, but you can write an = Sn-S(n-1).
wat
i gotta think about that for a sec
o i guess that makes sense
its the current sum - previous sum which just gives the current value
but is that the answer? sn-s(n-1)
Yep. And now you can substitute like in a
wat
Plug that in to the limit
mmmmm i don't think i can
In part a, you did one of the two parts
Lim n-> inf sn =L
So how about lim n-> inf S(n-1)?
Yes, you're right, but that doesn't get us very far.
The trick is to see that lim n-> inf is the same as lim (n-1) -> inf
yea i dont know how u see that
So Lim n-> inf s(n-1) =L
It's a conceptual question
If you're taking a limit, it doesn't matter if the n is off by 1
but
You'll still get all the components in the sum
Because of the limit
Sn means "add up everything to the n term"
Sn-1 means "add up everything to the n-1 term"
o wait
i feel stupid
they just reversed it on me
for a series to converge
ak has to go to 0
But if we now take the limit as n goes to infinity, theyre both "add everything up"
Yes, also that way. 🙂
What i went through above is an explanation of why that is true.
but
they wouldn't be the same amount of infinity would they
so that is like
tripping up my brain
We aren't adding infinities or anything crazy
We're just adding up terms, in sequence
And when we take the limit, we add all the terms.
yea its just not clicking
cuz you're saying
it equals to 0
but
ok now my brain's in shambles
xd
let's not think about it anymore
ill just think of the reverse if i ever see this again
okay
fortunately not
you got it
k im gonna need to give you my explanation of why that befuddles my brain though
the 2nd one
if you're adding infinite terms and then subtracting those same infinite terms without a term
how could that equal 0
wouldn't it be equal to that one missing term
Without too much snark, because the terms that come later go to 0.
if you have the sequence 1/n, the terms go to 0.
Nevermind that the sum doesn't converge, you get telescoping, and the answer is just the "last" term
but if the sum does converge, this last term is 0.
you're adding the wrong way?
Sn = a0 +a1 +a2+ ... an
the values of an approach 0
but lets focus on just Sn
The problem promises us that lim n -> inf Sn = L
yea
so if we take S_100, it's getting close to L
uh huh
and S_100000 and so on.
now think of S_(n-1)
We were promised that S_100 is close to L,
so S_(101-1) = S_100 is getting close to L
So S_(n-1) is also getting close to L
and formally, when we do the limit, we see that lim n-> inf S(n-1) = lim n-> inf Sn = L
because that -1 doesn't matter. We see all the same values of the sum, going off towards L, in the same order
we just see them "one term later", but they're all there.
my head hurts
so
in summary
i can do
s(n-some large number)
and it'd still be equal to L
in the limit, yes
that does not sound intuitive in any way shape or form
but alright ill just take it at face value cause it does somewhat
make sense
thanks for the help

if it helps, imagine you have an antiderivative G of g
then int_x^y g(t) dt = G(y)-G(x) and this you can easily differentiate
Well G(y) is constant with respect to x
So the derivative with respect to x is just 0

Since it is second derivative
Then
it is open interval (), not closed [], correct?
However, for first derivative
Is it closed or open for the -1/2
Is depends if, when you say increasing, is it strictly increasing or not ?
So it's -1/2 included in the interval
Got this difference ?
I see then too
so that would also be
closed
and
<=/>=
What about here then thouh
Do I do <=/>= in that evaluation or no
i think i dont
right
You let like that but on the vertical lines, you put a 0
So we know that you know that the function is equal to zero
sorry can you explain this better

actually, i now see that the series is a different one for D
oh wait
D is actually also a series
now i am confused to do that too
Do i just have to identify all the numbers
in each terms
then add them all up
yeah it would be easier since there are only 5
C. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15
the sum of all is 64
that's how you answer it right
do i have to say it like Sn = 64
yeah maybe
