you'll find further ideas on proving in solving mathematical problems by terry tao
like, a =c, b=c, a=b, so a=c
no i know what an intermediate step is, im asking what is that step here
imagine if yo can prove a simple version
link the question
this is pretty clear
lakshya
using this
i assume there is a typo since in the second part ur talking about ratios whereas it is dr cosine
no it is not
for l1, l2 , l3 to be direction cosines
you would first need to prove sum of their squares is 1
which we dont know yet
(however, that's also true, i also want to prove that)
direction cosines are l1, l2, l3...
what?
at least that's what you wrote in the first half 
given that l_1, m_1, n_1 and so on are direction cosines, does not imply that l_1 , l_2 , l_3 would also be direction cosines ( by which i mean sum of their squares is equal to 1) however generally any 3 numbers could be direction RATIOS
that's the flaw of your reasoning here, when you already wrote them as cosines they can't change.
Other than that l,m,n are used to denote dr cosines
a,b,c are ratios
they dividethe cosines
@earnest heath reflecting back on this... you should look up the dot product relation between the two
and then setup equations
if ur problem is solved close it
i think u dont know what direction cosines and ratios are but i dont care i got it

Probably a really basic question, since it's purely one variable calculus based, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it:
Why is this function's domain not empty? It supposedly maps reals to reals, however, no matter which value of x you choose , you'll end up with an improper integral
for every $x \in \mathbb R , e^x > 0$
Horsi135
so $t>0$ and $ln(t)$ is defined
Horsi135
the lower bound, however, is always 0
graph sin(lnx)
you see that the area for all postive real values is defined
e^x is always postive
so the logarithm wouldnt be defined
what
the sin function sets it to be between -1 and 1
the lower bound of the integral is always 0
so
so for any value of x you input, 0 will always be there, and the logarithm isn´t defined for it
it doesnt work like that
int 0 to inf sinx/x = pi/2
notice how if you put 0 , function becomes indeterminatwe
so does it mean the integral is undefined ?
alright, guess i get it
though it still feels kinda strange
you can also evaluate the integral its not hard
because when x -> 0 the limit is not infinity or negative infinity
that same integral with just ln(x) also produces a curve
and it does diverge there
well, thanks to the both of you, guess ill just be more careful from here on

Can someone please help me on this question:
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
Well I know that at least two of the digits HAVE to be even
Yeah and the least one must be even
But two odds one even works too right ?
yeah
numbers that are 1 more than a multiple of 111 will be one possible case
223 is even moment
You can't do it like this
oh i thought you could split it up into casework
?
you can but not like that
What does moment mean here ?
you might want to ask yourself how many possibilities are there when the first two numbers are the same
it's skibidi rizz notation
lol wth
112, 114, 116, 118, 110, etc
Start with fixing the units and tens digits
so there are 5*9=45 total possibilities for that?
Units and 10s digits can be equal in
00,22,44,66,88 that's 5 ways
And we can fill the hundreds place with , 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
there's also 45 total possibilities for this too
So now lets consider the units digit and hundreds are equal
It can happen 2_2,4_4,6_6,8_8
45 possibilities for that too
oh wait i forgot 0 doesn't count
You ignored cases where all three are the same !
i meant 9*4=36 total possibilities
?
36 total possibilities when the unit digits and hundreds are equal
When it's 00, we can fill in 9 ways, when it's 22,44,66,88 we can in 9-1 = 8 ways
So 8*4+9
how is it only 8 ways
We exclude 222,444,666,888
You sure ?
10*4 -4 yes
36 ways !
So last case
no i was talking about the other case
41 ways
When we choose 11,33,55,77,99 units can be in 5 ways (0,2,4,6,8)
But when we choose 22,44,66,88 units can be in 4 ways
so 41 ways
Result:
118

how to do the circled question?
do exactly what you have done in 19
so
(x-3-2i)(x-2+root5)?
Complex roots always have a conjugate pair.
even if the coefficients of the poly are complex?
so (x-3+2i) is also one?
Ye
you can multiply then after that u can rewrtie the equation in more simple way
or simpler way

not the right place
Huh
I cant calculate sin^-1(3/2)
Your finding out what x is?
Yy
yy?
Ye*
because...it doesn't exist, in the real world at least.
I cant read your hand writing
But i did all right?
also, $\tan^{-1}(x)$ doesn't represent $\frac{1}{\tan(x)}$
;(
yipee
no, your interpretation was wrong.
$\tan^{-1}(x)=\arctan(x)$
;(
Is there even a solution?
which is, the inverse tangent of x.
I can't work it out
Tan^-1
i.e., for $y=\tan(x)$, we have $x=\tan^{-1}(y)$
;(
yeah, that user fucked you over notation wise.
In book says solution: 30° and 150°
its supposed to be represented as $(\tan(x))^{-1}$.
;(
Whaaat
lets start from scratch. $\cos(x)\cdot\tan^{-1}(x)=\frac32$.
;(
Whats the question
yeah, fix the notation.
That
please.
Like this?
anyways, we have $\cos(x)\cdot\cot(x)=\cos(x)\cdot\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}=\frac32$.
;(
well, im scratching whatever i said, since you stated that tg^(-1) isn't inverse tangent in this case.
TAN IS SIN/COS?
yes.
Ohhhh
you know what, why don't we just have a review session of trig somewhere?
Type shi-, let me try to solve it
I did
I just forgot either it’s cos/sen

why did the channel suddenly close?
I haw no idea
anyways.
Ok
continue solving
Um
.
check in with me and ping once you're done
Ok
Yea
So there’s the thing
$\frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\frac32$
;(
recall the pythagorean identity
not necessarily
Why
How did you get here
$\frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\frac{1-\sin^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\frac32$
;(
there's no simplifciation from here
Isn’t sin^2(x) = sin(x)*sin(x)?
and?
no.
since the multiplication isn't going through the entire numerator.
Oh
In that case
if you're saying "i want to cancel that sin(x) on the bottom", you get $\frac{\sin(x)(\csc(x)-\sin(x))}{\sin(x)}$
;(
1-sin^2(x)= 3/2sin(x)
yes
Okkkkkkk
now ler u=sin(x); its just a polynomial now.
Should i get rid of(/2) beforehand?

How's it going, my linear algebra class is currently touching on the topic of creating our own 3x3 system of equations that imitate these forms of planes and I was really stumped on finding the method to creating these. i've tried to use the desmos3d graphing calculator but my planes aren't exact. does anyone have any methods or ideas to help me with this? really appreciate it <3
You know the planes can make these possible intersections, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLOT THEM! instead think about how in a) they do not meet at a single point but any two planes meet at a straight line, how are those straight lines related?
In b) two of the planes are parallel, so you can identify when we have this as look at the planes and see two are parallel
in c) same idea
the final one is where they all meet at one point (d which is not here)
I understand that c they don't meet and so in that case for C each z can be one variable and it will create that
in which case the determinant of the matrix is non-zero
?
right? since each plane there is differing based on the z axis at least graphically
In c) the 3 linear equations will be parallel planes
right right. if you had z=3 z=5 z=6 wouldnt those be parallel since they would never touch
ie. $x+y+z=2, 2x+2y+2z=10, -x-y-z=3$ would be an example
Max
yea
wait so would this for for A?
how do you go about knowing that relationship to use other variables
looking at those though wouldnt each plane be parallel
Im just showing an example that would fit c) we know it would fit c because if we look at the left side (the part with the variables) the planes are parallel
ahhh okay okay
i gotcha that makes sense
so with that example, if we made the middle plane which was x+y+2 inverted horizontally it would create A?
b* not a
e.g. -x-y+z=2
i think that makes sense for B and C. i feel like the process for A is different though since i'm really unsure how one plane can be at the bottom to the angle the two other planes to meet on the same line
For a) Find how the pairs of planes intersect, you'll see they are parallel lines
For b) you will have two parallel planes
For c) you will have three parallel planes
ohhhh
okay okay
i get b and c
just for a, you have two perpendicular lines with one bottom level plane then?
look at how the planes intersect
the top two planes would have to be perpendicular to intersect
where then you would just have a lower plane that intersects on the line with those other two
right?

Help
treat that entire part as being between the 60 isotherm and an unseen 70 isotherm
So i color under it yellow and at 71 i color it as orange?
something like that
Should i color harder to make the color more color?
if you want to
Is that good?
Is the yellow warmer?
Yeah

Science
Like physical science? Or environmental?
We dont have specific science classes in grade 10 at my school

Inorder to write this statement using logical notations
Can i use the COnvergence defination
Axe
yeah like for all symbol,there exists symbol
these?
$\forall \epsilon > 0$ there are infinitely many $n$...
Axe
problem is using notation to write the infinitly many n thingy
$\forall \epsilon > 0 (\exists N) (\forall n > N), ||a_n - 0|| < \epsilon$
but this is used for
Arya
i don't think it's equivalent
one small thing
both the statements are similar right
"all but finitely many" and "infinitely many"
the two statements you posted?
yeah
they are not equivalent
because it can hold for even n for example
then it holds for infinitely many (the evens)
and it also fails for infinitely many (the odds)
all but finitely many implies there are infinitely many but infinitely many doesn’t say anything about there being finitely many that don’t satisfy it

is this possible to do?
is that the only point of intersection?
no..
so that's a comma?
yeah
i guess?
im german and thats how we write it idk
x= 10 y=5
if it intersects at a single point, then they must be tangent
so you can compare their values and derivatives
2 unknowns 2 equations
ok
oh, that makes way more sense
how do i compare the values
you need f(10) = 5
that gives you one equation
f'(10) = g'(10) gives you another one, if we take g(x) = (sqrt(5))^(x-8)
what do i do from here
f and g have to intersect at (10, 5)
which means that both f(10) and g(10) must be 5
yeah
the equation for f(x) is -a(x-h)^2 + 25
yeah
so f(10) = -a(10-h)^2 + 25 = 5
ah ok
similarly, you can do f'(10) = g'(10)
Yeah, probably
why?
because its equal to 5
It's equal to 5 only at x = 10
yeah
x^2 = 1 at x = 1, does that mean the derivative of x^2 is 0?
no 2x
Yeah, we have to take the derivative of the function and only after that plug in the given x
ah
is this correct?
sorry its flipped
,rccw
not quite
first compute g'(x)
what's the derivative of $\left(\sqrt{5}\right)^{x-8}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
nope
it's exponential function
it's somewhat like e^x
$e^{\ln\left(\sqrt{5}\right)\left(x-8\right)}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
it's same as this function
$\sqrt{5} = e^{\ln\left(\sqrt{5}\right)}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
and so it's the same as $\left(e^{\ln\left(\sqrt{5}\right)}\right)^{\left(x-8\right)}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
oh
in general, derivative of a^x (where a is constant) is ln(a) * a^x
so e.g. derivative e^x is ln(e) * e^x = 1 * e^x = e^x
is f' right
yep
yeah, sure
okok
wait its not this😭
No, that's just g rewritten
We still need to differentiatw that
Do you know this rule?

Hello!
I had a Question regarding the concept of the FTC and Net Change theorems:
What is the difference between the two?
one is a theorem that leads to the corollary on the right
(sorry i cannot spell corollary for the life of me)
And also how would you guys solve for the integral of
so it's an application of the first?
in essence, yes
So they are interchangable?
theres a lot of options here
not necessarily
(this is my answer when im not 100% sure)
So the definite integral of a function is also always equal to the net change of the function over the interval.
yes
And of this?
break the fraction down
turn it into x^-2?
$\int_1^4\frac{x}{x^2}-\frac{4}{x^2}dx$
;(
and then use your regular properties
Because you don't have any rules to differentiate division, so it would end up as
1/x - 4/x^2
yeah
you can use power rule then
The first term integrates as ln|x| the second would be (2x^-1)
do you know the integral of 1/x
ln |x|
yep
so now just do $\ln(x)-\frac{2}{x}\bigg\vert_1^4$!
;(
Okay, thanks so much! I think I got it now. Whenever you have a product or quotient you essentially just distribute if u-sub is not applicable?
Or in cases where usub doesn't deal with the term being multiplied or divided?
yes

whr do i begin for this
start combining the resistors to get it to one resistor and find the current
but theres like 3 voltage source i cant tell which is series or parallel
12 10 6 in series?
there is one voltage source
like this
it doesnt actually matter
voltages are the same at any point where there are no resistors
1/(25+5) + 1/30 +1/10 =1/R?
any line*
those are parallel right
den i would find total current first?
yes, it would be very useful to find the current through the circuit
but you dont need to do that if you instead used voltage division
i got current = 0.5 A
current through the voltage source*
so how do i split back into v1 and v2
go back to the original circuit knowing that current through the voltage source is 0.5A and calculate voltages at other spots using voltage drops
uhhhh how
pick some spot to be 0V or ground
i would suggest the bottom left corner
then use ohms law and current division to figure out the voltage drops or gains from that point
can i do like this
since i foudn that the voltage for the combined parallel resistance is 3V
i think i get what youre saying, so yes

what do we need to show to proof that a function is differentiable
if a function is continuous at x = a, and its derivative is also continuous at x = a, is that a sufficient condition
$\lim_{x \to a^-} f'(x) = \lim_{x \to a^+} f'(x) = f'(a)$ not required?
SirGareth
i was thinking of smt like |x|
that is a sufficient condition
because if the derivative is continuous at x=a, it exists at x=a
you mean this?
yeah
um
they got that h''(x) isn't differentiable and said that it was a contradiction
but the assumption was that h'(x) is differentiable so i don't get it
yea i was thinking it looked a little wrong
ah wait
they're asking about differentiability of h' not h

what is the z transform of (2^k)*1[k+2] ?
@radiant dragon Has your question been resolved?
@radiant dragon Has your question been resolved?
show your definition of z transform, and explain the notation 1[k+2]
1[k+2] is a unit signal that means 1 for k > -2
this is the definition of it
what does k=0- mean in this context?
a bunch of signal propieties shit related to ROC
but k is an integer, does the sum start at 0 or not?
yeah it starts at 0
the 1[k+2] doesn't seem to do anything in that case
since it's 1 for all k > -2, hence for all k >= 0
its only there so the instructor feels good about himself 🤡
so you just need to calculate $\sum_{k=0}^\infty 2^k z^{-k}$

how do you do part b?
I got 2^10 = 1024 for the first part
if we leave one question blank
its essentially a 9 question true false test
so wouldn't that be 2^9
and if we follow that logic, 2 unansswered is 2^8
etc
do we just add all those together
you have the option to leave each question blank
yeah
that's 3 options

hi guys
so basically im getting the IVT (intermediate value theorem)
And lets say i got 15 pounds from getting the point horizontally.... is it valid if i try to get the x value that way too? Like by drawing a point vertically?
or no?
give an example, and context.
well im trying to solve this, the IVT is already given in the question
Let’s say a baby boy weighs 7 pounds at birth, and then 20 pounds when he is 1 year old (12 months). At some point, he must have weighed 15 pounds, for example, or any number of pounds between 7 and 20 pounds, since human weight is continuous. In this case, the baby’s age is the x -value, and the baby’s weight is the y-value, with x∈(0, 12). In other words, for a weight to get from some number to another, it must have hit all the numbers in between.
and thenn
i drew this
honestly we havent discussed ivt yet but i need to learn it for my assignment 😭
heyyy is this okay? orrr
yeah, it works.
but, do you know the 3 conditions of IVT?
okayy from these values do yk which one ill use to get limit of constant 6?
uhh i can pull up a yt video that i just watched with it 😭
but its basically just staying within the interval?
i basically want to construct tabular approach with this
and graphical
but idk if im doing it right
no.
here are the three conditions for a function $f$: $f$ must be continuous on $[a,b]$, $f(b)\neq f(a)$, and $a<c<b$, therefore, by IVT, we have that $f(a)<f(c)<f(b)$ for some $c\in[a,b]$
;(
that’s the essential statement of IVT; i might have a few technical errors here, though
feel free to correct me if i do, if any helper comes along
i seee i seee thank youuu
is it okay to ask if this is right?
if i were to put a table about it?
and if thats the table ill use to get the limit*
yeah, sure.
so long as it satisfies the 3 conditions.
thank you so muchh, ill try getting the limits noww
you too!! thank you and bless uuuu

heyy @ancient grotto sorry i still have one last question 😭
so basically im supposed to construct a word problem (Context above)
and then so since im making my own, i want to make something like
Compute lim (where constant would either be 12 and infinity)
For the function f(x) can i just write anything or do i have to be careful about it?


UHH 😭
just write whatever works and make sure it follows continuity, otherwise let hell break loose
okay lemme see what i can doo 😔
can i copy these questions and just change the constant? would that be fine?
you do you
this is your assignment not mine
okayy thank youu

hi, i'm taking calculus and i have a couple questions asking about approximation. i'm a little confused on what approximation is and what an example of that would even be
if i need to supply the function and all that i will but i guess i'm more concerned about what approximations are and how to evaluate/calculate those
can you provide the original problem?
sure,
here is the function
wait
and i got that through all this (questions 4 and 5 were like 38.9 and then 39.6)
i am wrong
i don't think that is the peak distance
yea
LOL
it was
267.6
for the height
at H(3)
would that be the peak distance?
but that's the height at 3 seconds. how do you know it isn't getting higher?
hmm i dont. would i find that through graphing calculator only?
what kind of function is the height function?
actually can you show what the questions immediately before this one are?
ok so a "good approximation" means rounded to a few decimal places here
quadratic? is that what you mean?
yes, it is a quadratic
yea my calculator just gives back 267.6
no more decimals
so if you had a quadratic that opens downward like the one on the right, where would the maximum value be?
vertex point
yes
ohh so do i put in the efunction in my calculator
and then use max and then that would be my peak?
we are allowed graphing calculators for these problems
also*
i'm not sure if that would be allowed, but if it is then that would work
if i were to solve it without a graphing calculator what would i do?
do you have a method of finding the vertex of a parabola?
that is the formula, yes
okay ill do that
one sec
okay sorry about the wait i found that the vertex is at 292.6
or y=292.6

need help with e) please
I think the answers above also need to be looked at, should we go from the top? 
what are the terms of that pledge you signed?
only homework
but im stuck with e
It says "You may get help but the work must be your own" so I think its all good

Combinatorics
Find the no. of possible combination of variables
problem 1
x+y+z=6 x,y,z are whole number greater than or equal to 1
I create 6 sticks , then I have to fill up 5 spaces with 2 stars
the answer is (5*4)or(5C1x4C1) ie 20. but I cannot use 5C2
problem 2
x+y+z+a=12 x,y,z,a are whole number greater than or equal to 1
use same concept of markers the answer is 11C3. but not 11x10x9.
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
note:the answer 20 for first problem and 165 for second problem are strictly correct
huh
<@&268886789983436800>
i mean from stars and bars the first one is clearly 5C2
wdym u can't use 5C2?
help

nope
the answer is 20
bro it's written 20 in the book
:V
idk how to run
for the second problem, 11C3 is indeed the answer, and you get that by using Stars and Bars
and then proceeds to do that by 5P2
it's 5C2 lol
also you can always trust code
ok
how do I generate code
website or coding
11C3 is answer for part b. That's correct. For part a) answer should be 5C2, and book made error
wdym generate code?
how did u generate this
by running my code in an ide
I have to manually write code or there is website where I don't have to code to generate outcomes
it's easy to manually write code for things like this
but i would guess you can use
github copilot and such

they're treating the asterisks as distinct
so they count smth like this twice
the other one being when the two asterisks are swapped

Find all curves in the xy-plane for which the normal at each point (x,y) intersects the x-axis at (x + 1, 0)
- differential equations
Can anyone give hints? I just know that some part of the equation should be -dx/dy since the normal is the negative reciprocal of the tangent
And i think the initial conditions are when x = x + 1 , y = 0
And there’s just sumn like this
Idk how to put it together

hi yall i have some questions bout elastic collisions
and non elastic
cause i have this question "if a ball were to be bounced on the ground, would it return to its original height? assume an elastic collision"
but it can be elastic even if it didnt return to its original height? right??
cause that just means within the system...
elastic?
ye
perfectly elastic yes
yes
theres a diff bw elastic and perfectly elastic
just write it like
if its perfectly elastic yes, if not - no.
i would do that
ok but even if it was perfectly elastic couldnt it not bounce to the original height
but why
like its conserved
but its no loss of kinetic energy through the entire system

so what would be the momentum of the ball at the moment it is thrown, just from the car moving?
while the car is moving, the ball has the same velocity \ momentum as the car because the person holding it is moving with the car right?
i mean while you are inside the car and the car is moving lets say to the right, you are also moving to the right, arent you? and any objects you are holding
true
if we say perpendicular
why would the ball be thrown at an angle
isnt perpendicular 90 degres
yeah but from the perspective of the person throwing the ball the ball isnt moving relative to them, so from their perspective they dont see that motion toward the right
so think of it like this, lets say the person throwing the ball throws it perpendicular, from their point of view the ball just appears to move down right? but the car also continues to move to the right
ok
but to an observer standing on the sidewalk they can see that motion to the right as well so they see the ball both moving toward them and moving to the right
is called frame reference
think about someone jumping off their skateboard to do a trick, just because they jumped off doesn't mean they suddenly stop moving forward, they have momentum forward as well so when they land back down on their board they are at the same place even though they have both moved forward at that time and when they are jumping they are "jumping straight up"
i think i get it
or in a western movie, people jumping all over from train car to train car durring a robbery scene, the train is moving forward 60 miles an hour or whatever, how come it doesnt move from under them a great amount while they are in the air for lets say 2 seconds to jump? well because they are also moving at 60 miles an hour while they are jumping, they are moving with the train while also moving maybe a little faster from running on top of the train at the same time so they can jump from car to car
thanks i get it
In this video I show you what it looks like to run and jump off a trailer going the same speed as it moving forward. Will you just stand still on the ground? I also show you what it looks like to jump on a moving vehicle. Do you fall off or stay with it?

Checkout my experiment book: https:...
so the first one is a graph of velocity? and it's just a line?
then the acceleration is constant throughout, acceleration would just be the slope of that line (a constant negative acceleration)
no they are different graphs
i am just asking about the concept
like the + acceleration and - velocty
i am trying to learn to interpret these graphs
so yeah a good way to think of acceleration is the slope of the velocity graph
the velocity in the first just is constantly getting smaller and smaller (and well then moving in the negative direction which we also consider smaller)
in the 2nd graph just because the acceleration is positive doesnt mean the velocity is too, we'd have to know the "initial velocity" the object starts with, maybe it starts with a very negative velocity and then positive acceleration is just making it slightly less negative
ok so the acceleration graph doesnt tell us the velocity
no, it just tells us how its changing
returning to this question, if there was air resistance, it would have been A?
yes
air resistance causes the ball to slow down so it will bend, am i correct
because the air resistance would resist the ball moving to the right (i.e. accelerate it to the left)
but the shape might also depend on how fast you throw the ball
lets assume the car is moving faster than you throw it i guess
if you shot the ball out of a cannon then the air resistance would be more pronounced in the other direction actually
then it might look more like C :p
is this correct
also how do i know when a person "opens a parachute"
so the left most note is correct, becuase yeah the velocity is increasing so the acceleration must be positive
after that on the right and top most, what does that say? A_0 acceleration or ?
no
