Oh
he used to run the courses on khan, but as since started 3b1b on youtube
im taking 17 credits which is the max credits at my uni so this is been a bit stressful
i have 4-5 days of free time to actually put into math
what book are u following?
just follow stewart calculus book, it isnt that long and is quite complete
Calculus: Early Transcendentals
is it expensive
alright
could u send a link to this pls
khan is completely free
these are also really good
is it a youtuber?
Welcome to my math notes site. Contained in this site are the notes (free and downloadable) that I use to teach Algebra, Calculus (I, II and III) as well as Differential Equations at Lamar University. The notes contain the usual topics that are taught in those courses as well as a few extra topics that I decided to include just because I wante...
these are objectively your best sources

Hello I'm stuck on this question. I'm used to it being just tanx= not tan2x , do i get rid of the 2 and if so how ?
can you solve tan(z) = -sqrt(3) ?
right so z = -pi/3 is one solution
now if z = 2x because tan(z) = tan(2x), can you solve for x?
that would be -2/3pi
I think I understand now
are you saying x = -2/3 * pi?
yes
can you explain how you got that from z = 2x
ah i think it should be -pi/6 ? since its z=2x not 2z=x my bad I read it wrong
checked and it's correct thank you for the help

can someone explain why number 2 is true
i dont rlly get it
the solutions of the homogeneous case are translated by some vector to give you the solution in the nonhomogeneous case
we have that dim(nullsplace) = 1 via rank nullity and u can visualize this as a line passing through the origin. the nonhomogeneous solution is given by shifting that line by any solution of Ax = b
ohh kk ty
@patent phoenix Has your question been resolved?
also, when you try to find a solution to Ax = b, you will get that the solution is depending on a free variable, that free variable is the lambda that is multiplied by the direction vector of the line that passes through the origin, where the direction vector is one of the vectors from the nullspace of A, where lambda times that vector represent the whole span of that nullspace of A, no? they are parallel because both lines have same direction vector
also since the matrix is non square, the dimension of the nullspace will be not 0
it is given rank 2, because from there you can figure out the nullspace is exactly dim 1, as dj said

Hello I need some help with this question. I don't understand why the answer is (-1 0) not (-1 1) like I wrote
the answer
stretching by 2 increases all the y-coordinates by 2x
so the flat line in the graph (at y = 2) ends up at y = 4 when you stretch 2x
because the x-axis is your reference line for the stretch
not y = 1 (1 unit above x-axis) as you have assumed to be
I'm still a little confused
oh wait no I should have drawn it 1 lower
okay thank you for explaining

is there any reason to choose one or the other here for matrices? they're both just notation for matrices right?
you mean, square vs round brackets?
yes
if it's that, it doesn't really matter, just pick what you are more comfortable with

I need help with finding the sum of perimeter formula of this fractal.
What I know:
- every nth term theres 4(2^n-1) new triangles added.
- every nth term the new triangles are half the size?
- the triangles are 30-60-90 so the sides in n=1 is 1, 2, √3
also I've attached 2 images because I'm supposed to ignore the white triangles and only focus on brown ones so I edited for better visualization
The triangles are 30-60-90 so the sides in n=1 is 1, 2, √3
This doesnt match the fractal you showed in the pic
every nth term the new triangles are a quarter the size
take 1 the length of the side of the 1st square
which you can decompose into 4 squares
you get 8 new squares on n=2
which side's size is 1/4
how does it not? look at the first pic. if you see it it looks like a right triangle and if we consider the white triangle its 60-60-60
I might be wrong idk but thats how I see it
how's it quarter? I'm sorry I dont get it
the side's size of the new squares for n is 1/4^(2n)
if we consider the white triangle its 60-60-60
uhhh are we seeing the same image 😭
@molten knoll Has your question been resolved?
4×2^(n-1) = 2²×2^(n-1) = 2^(n+1)
(1+2+sqrt(3))×4
+½(1+2+sqrt(3))×8
+¼(1+2+sqrt(3))×16
- ...
= (1+2+sqrt(3))×4
+(1+2+sqrt(3))×4
+(1+2+sqrt(3))×4- ...
when n=1 the perimeter is (1+2+sqrt(3))×4
everytime the number of triangles added doubles from 4 but their sizes are also half
so like ×2 then ÷2 which doesn't change
you say that the sizes are half so it means 1/2 but why are people saying its quarter?
I dont get it

✅ Original question: #help-42 message
from your diagram, "half the size" implies that its base and height are halved
half the base, half the height and its 1/2*1/2=1/4
you are asked to find the perimeter right?
yeah
perimeter is halved
I see
if area then yes 1/4
oh ok
so for n=2,3,4... its 1/2, 1/4, 1/8... respectively right?
not the final perimeter
just the size

how does this three work?
Lets start with 1
Do u understand the first implication
Btw are the : division?
gcd dude
Ooh
We have different notation
you from America?
nop
French system
We note it a v b instead of a : b
So anyways we know that to prove the equivalence we must prove the two implications
First implication goes like this we know that $a:b | a $ and $a:b | b $( because if a : b = r the r = ka and r= k’b )
Now just use the properties
a:b|b so a:b|t’b
a:b|a so a:b|s’a
a:b | t’b and a:b|s’a so a:b|t’b+ s’a
Okey ask anything if there is a step you dont understand
You mean latex?
this is for the left direction <== I presume
correct?
No —->
we can't start from the right side and get to the left side then
We start from both sides because its equivalent
you are assuming a : b = r
Yes so what
this is left direction
Yes
then a and b is divisible by r
So r = kb and r= ak’
you could add a few lines of wording
Yes
like otherwise i need to overthink
Math symbols are enough
If you overthink youll learn to not overthink much
idk how you get to second line
that's directly from the definition of gcd
if a is divisible by r and b is divisible by r, then r can be expressed as an integer times a
a:b, which is r, has to be a divisor of a and of b
So r divides a and r divides b
unless this notation is supposed to mean lcm
Nop its not
then, since r can be expressed as a certain amount of times a, you use this transitive argument to say gcd a,b is divisible by a
I didnt wrote a:b| r
I dont know where did u see it
? i edited
Then this line is slightly wrong - it should be that a = kr and b = k'r for some integers k, k'
Yes just replaced the r with a:b
But you can remove that line and the argument still works
Wait rlly?
(well, r is a factor of a and of b
So if r is a factor of a, then r times something, say, k, is a; etc)
@simple musk second line is wrong
But otherwise - a:b = r => r|a is basically from the definition of "greatest common divisor"
i understand that bit
what is second line exactly
This line - you can safely remove it
this is why i hate skipping info like r | a => a = kr, because then it's easier to mess up
even if it's obvious, i didn't noticed the mistake neither
Nah i just forgot the gcd thing
no, what i mean gcd(a,b) = r => r |a is clear
that's from the definition of gcd
now, it was skipped this implication r|a => a = k.r
there exists some k in Z, etc etc
from the definition of divisibility
what i mean is, skipping directly from gcd(a,b) = r => a = kr
instead of doing gcd(a,b)=r => r | a => a = k.r
i wanted to make sure u get it
what i mean is like we shouldn't skip any info
otherwise filling the gaps in between is like, prone to errors, i missed that what you said was wrong for example
no
gcd(a,b) = gcd(kr, k'r) = r.gcd(k,k')
i don't get the transitive argument you are saying
Its just a proof to why gcd(a,b) |a and b
you are saying something like
r | a, and a | r so gcd(a,b) | a
no
Nop forget the a| r thats wrong
but again, i cant manage to fill the gaps
There's literally no gap
a doesnt divide r
This is a definition
why do you write second line
I gave you the correct proof
you could've done,
gcd(a,b)=r
-> r | a and r | b
-> gcd(a,b) | a etc
I just wrote it in case you didnt know the def
But if u understand it u can read the rest
yeah i think it tracks

Guys why does infinite gp start from 2r I got confused
Is my solution going right?
where do you think it should start from
I mean in all questions I was using the first term (a) as start here I just wrote soltuion and got confused in between also im sorry for my handwriting
I mean a part of me says (stupid ass it starts from 2r) but then again
like mid part I got confused
i mean it does start from 2r
youve just got that 3 left over at the start
but you just keep it as is
oh yea I just understood thanks I just got confused im sorry it was stupid 😭
thanks @velvet osprey

$ABCD$ is a trapezium such that $AD\parallel BC$. $M$ is the midpoint of $AD$, and $C$ is reflected across $BD$ to get $C'$. $BM$ and $AC$ intersect at $N$, and $O$ is the intersection of $BD$ and ray $C'N$. Prove that $AO\perp BD$
ihave<skissue>
ive been staring at this and i have no idea what to do
angle chasing somehow? length bash cause we can get AON simm CC'N maybe (but i kinda doubt), or smth else??
either way i couldnt get progress
Before reading the text I thought that C' is up in height from the picture lol
what?
anyway, this should be rather easy if you just follow along the angles, like, every division write out how you can express the new angles
huh?? 😭
Let's start with our trapezoid thingly
ABCD
We know <ABC + <BAD = 180°
and <BCD + <CDA = 180°
So let's just set <ABC = a, and <BCD = b
the upper angles are then 180° - a and 180° - b
geometry is so scary damn
what are upper angles
and you go from there until you get to <AOD = 90°
??
CN has no property
What?
nah dude i dont think this has variable game
i searched and ot showed menlaus theorem
did u apply that op
One thing to note is that O is on the circle of A to D, so knowind that and knowin AMD is 180° you could prove from the circle angle theorem thingy that AOD is 90°, but you gotta prove that O is really on the circle
angle chasing could still work
What I mean wth the circle angle theorem thingy is like the central angle being twice of peripheral angle or something, idk ain't nobody got time to remember theorem name fr
terrible at length bashing soo i couldnt really see the vision wih this

Note that the circle is divided up into 24 sectors. A circle is also made of 2pi radians. This means that each sector is 2pi/24 radians or pi/12 radians. z is made of 8 sectors from the positive x axis meaning it has the angle 8pi/12 or 2pi/3
they read it off from the grid
is that the only way

Hi !!! I need help with "arithmetic sequence" because I have a math test tuesday...
arithmetic progressions?
yes
alright so the sequence of numbers with a common difference is an AP
like if you subtract any 2 consecutive terms of that sequence, you will find 1 common term which is the common difference
often noted as 'd'
and now comes all the formulas for AP lol
uhm.. I dont understand😭
can you share the ques you have a doubt in?
what even is AP?
its a concept
arithmetic progression
wait.
its easier to explain with a ques
^
ah wait it was a question all along?
damn
you have much to learn
honestly you have to memorizr this stuff ngl 😭
Exercise 1
Let the sequence (un) be an arithmetic sequence with common ratio r.
-
Given: u5 = 8, r = 3. Calculate u1, u20, and u101.
-
Given: u3 = 23, u8 = 7. Calculate r, u5, and u10.
-
Given: u7 = 4/3, u13 = 17/9. Calculate u0.
Exercise 2
Let the sequence (un) be defined by un = 7 − 3n.
-
Calculate u0, u1, and u2.
-
Prove that (un) is an arithmetic sequence and determine the common ratio of the sequence.
-
What is the value of the 51st term?
-
Calculate the sum of the first 51 terms.
here.
common ratio? arithmatic progression?
common ratio is in a geometric progression
uh yes arithmetic progression..
common difference is in an arithmetic progression
send a pic of the ques
either the q is wrong or thats a typo
raison is the number you add each time
^?
I dont understand Exercice 2
- or 2) or 3) or 4)?
1
to find u_0 you just need to put n=0 in u_n
No I dont understand n
substitute the value of n
oh okay
lets take the ap: 1, 4, 7, 11, ...
it could be anything tbh
its only 1 value
firstly before you solve that, do you know what a general term is and how you can use it?
I dont know how im supposed to guess what u0 is....
math is tiring
the general term is given tho
you just have to substitute 0 in place of n
lets return to this example
can you write the general term for it?
uhm. u mean ..,exemple = u0 = 1 then u add 3 each time.??
so the general term
Is
un+3
I guess
Un+1 = un + 3
that is correct
thank u
but then if we want to know u_2 we need to know u_1
so we need to replace the u_n with something else
$u_2, u_1$
Duck Man
represents subscripts
oh okay
bye
its still loading..
anyways it will be u_n = 3n - 2
u2 = un+1 + Uo * R?
ohh okayy
id recommend you ask your teacher
cuz he/she would know better about what exactly to explain
The next time I see my teacher is tuesday. And I have a math test on tuesday...
Organic chemistry tutor
what.
okayy thank u!!
im sorry i have to go

hiii
<@&286206848099549185>
i found the pattern
but idk how to state it
its a triangular patter
the next term is gonna be
m = 0
and n = 2
and after that we'lll have
m = 3
and n = 0
and then so on and so forth
so ummm state this pattern in some notation
thanl u
$\forall k \in \mathbb{N}$ there is $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that$2 k=(m+n)(m+n+1)+2 n$.
ben
now the induction step
Assume there exist $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that ^^ holds for some $k$.
Write $\mathcal{T}:=m+n$.
$$
2 k=\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{T}+1)+2 n
$$
We construct ( $m^{\prime}, n^{\prime}$ ) for $k+1$ by two simple cases.
Case 1: $m>0$.
Set
$$
m^{\prime}=m-1, \quad n^{\prime}=n+1
$$
Then $m^{\prime}+n^{\prime}=s$. so,
$$
\left(m^{\prime}+n^{\prime}\right)\left(m^{\prime}+n^{\prime}+1\right)+2 n^{\prime}=\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{T}+1)+2(n+1)=\underbrace{[\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{T}+1)+2 n]}_{=2 k \text { by }(\mathrm{H})}+2=2(k+1) \text {. }
$$
Thus $\left(m^{\prime}, n^{\prime}\right)$ works.
ben
this should suffice fr ya to complete the proof
whats m and n prime supposed to be
sorry i was supposed to label 2k=s(s+1)+2n H but did not
s id \mathcal{T}
jeez sorry i am typesetting too fast and making mistakes]
hope this helped
i'll be arounf here, its a drear eveny in ny here lol

i get the explanation as to why for range... but i've encountered discontinuities a while and their ranges did not need to be unionized.. why is that?
like just recently, this one
What is your question? How to define the range?
[-4,3) U [2,4] = [-4,4]
why is the range union here
but the range here isnt?
yeah
but why is this not a union
why isnt this the answer
... what don't you understand about this equality
If the answer to a question is 7 you wouldn't say that it's 3+4, would you?
yes...
then why isnt the answer (-3, 5) here tho?
Because [-2,0] is not in the range
is it because they're hollow circles?
No
It's because there is no input to h that gives an output between -2 and 0 (included)
If the range was (-3, -2] U [0, 5) (solid circles at -2 and 0), then (-2,0) would not be in the range
wait, gnna think about how i understand this
is it a different story if its (-3, -2] U (0, 5) for instance (the 0 is a curly)
then therefore, it can be (-3, 5)?
... no, there's still a big hole, this time it's (-2,0]
why included when the illustration shows that the point in y = -2 and 0 are open?
really sorry if im dumb af here hjwqdjawbd
I'm saying there is no input that gives those points
and to add to this
compared to something like this
this latter is within range?
because its between -5, and positive 1 correct?
What is
What is

how do I solve this without l'hôpital
you could use the binomial series
In this section we will give the Binomial Theorem and illustrate how it can be used to quickly expand terms in the form (a+b)^n when n is an integer. In addition, when n is not an integer an extension to the Binomial Theorem can be used to give a power series representation of the term.
can you try and do it pls my memory got totally wiped after summer 😭😭
I left for an entire year and I come back to see you still helping people
What an absolute legend
🐐
@dusk iris Has your question been resolved?
bruh this is past midnight I'm dying
you probably won't get far like that. better off trying to explain your thought process and how you are thinking of approaching this question so people can point you in the right direction
at this point I just need someone to solve it for me so that I can see how to approach a problem like this in the future
unfortunately that does not align with the intentions of the server. no one is asking you to solve it completely alone but your engagement and involvement is expected
I tried to solve the problem I've been on it for an hour now. How do I develop the expression using the binomial series
that's great! can you share what avenues you've explored? what have you tried so far? what ideas have come to mind?
well I've tried using l'hôpital, only to be told that I shouldn't use it, I tried solving it in a normal way, that didn't lead me anywhere, and now I'm trying the binomial series but I totally forgot about it so now I'm struggling
okay thank you
did you read the page linked above? Particularly the part under binomial series?
or even if it's correct
yup of course
great, can you find a way to express the root in the form (1 + f(x))^k
well that's what I did and then it became what's in the last attachment I sent...
seems like you did some substitution there, i would recommend writing out the first few terms of the series and leaving it in terms of x
without changing the variable? it's just gonna be messier I can always keep the y and then substitute back
the problem is the 1/n
why is it a problem?
I think you will find it works out quite easily if you keep it in terms of x, try writing the first three terms in the expansion
well that's the main reason I'm here, how do I write the first 3 terms
first show me the root expressed in this form @dusk iris
okay great, now use the binomial series formula to get the first three terms
I don't know how to use it when k=1/n 😭😭
which part trips you up
the development
the combinatorics?
I just need to know how to write the first term and I'll be able to do the rest
the page that was linked actually shows you the first four terms in terms of k and x
will it be the same with 1/n ?
yeah just substitute
alright imma try
k is any number
I'm honestly not sure if what I did is right
looks somewhat correct
if you use this expression in place of the root, can you simplify it? cancel anything out?
oh and then now the 1s cancel out and I simplify by x leaving everything equal 0 except the -1/n
wait wait I think it's finally solved
my handwriting is awful but I think it's correct thanks so much
No problem, glad you were able to work it out
btw you can close the channel with .close if you dont need anything else

Can anyone help with stoichiometry math
Question?
Did I do this right
,rccw
32.07 is for S, and your moles are for S_8
So id do 32.07 times 8
yea
Afterall, the reaction consumes equal moles of atomic zinc and sulfur
Number of Zn atoms must match the number of S atoms
your reaction utilizes 8 Zn atoms and 8 S atoms
S_8 is just 8 separate sulfur atoms
and 8 Zn is obv 8 separate zinc atoms
and one of each combine together to form a single ZnS
so number of Zn atoms involved in this needs to be same as number of S atoms (not S_8 molecules) to balance the reaction
yea
Okay thank u

@mossy furnace sorry for the ping but I wanted to ask when you said “It's not just analogous, it's the same thing. The topology induced by a metric is the topology generated by the basis of open balls, by definition.”
Is that topology induced known as a standard topology?
As part of the world-wide celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of general relativity and the International Year of Light 2015, the Scientific Organizing Committee makes available the central 24 lectures by Frederic P Schuller.
Titled "A thorough introduction to the theory of general relativity", the lectures introduce the ...
This is the video that defined a standard topology for R^d
I've mainly heard the term "standard topology" in reference to R^d
Ah so it’s the topology induced by the Euclidean metric
Yes

explain this
oops
i just realized that
😭
thankyou thankyou so much
i will try to fix
wait so how to integrate sin^3x
substitute the relation in part 1
then you get integral of sinx and sin3x
literally what you did here
lmao
you got the idea right
but you substitiuted the wrong thing so the answer you got is wrong
wait i dont get it
is the "-4" supposed to stay in place?
like only substitute the sin^3(x)
no, that -4 is the consequence of your previous mistake
you are only suppposed to integrate sin^3(x)
you took that as sin(3x) and applied the result of part 1
thats why you messed up
ohh
ok i will try to redo
thankyou so much
im still getting the same answer
wait what is wrong
girl you literally got the correct answer before
just divide this whole thing by -4
why do you still have this? 😭
OHHH
just read it once? for me? please? 🥺
no, thank you 😭

i need some help with this limit, it has to be done with the ratio test
are you sure you need to do it with the ratio test?
the root test should work
yes
okay, what did you get when you tried to apply the ratio test?
do you have your working on a piece of paper?
no, that's not how you do the ratio test
$a_{n + 1} = \sqrt[n + 1] {\frac{(n + 1)\ln (n+1)}{(n+1)^{\ln (n+1)}}}$
south
that's the root test!! (the one on the 2nd line)
that's not the ratio test
i mean its written Xn>0
fair enough
okay I checked and the ratio test gives L = 1, so it's inconclusive
we need to use another test
I think that means you should use this test
i havent learnt this one yet, the professor said it has to be done with the root test
ask your professor how to do it then
cause the root test clearly gives inconclusive
would've, but i want to understand it before class
thats why i ask for help
your professor has given you a problem that cannot be done with what you have learnt in class
thats ratio definitely
the one on the 2nd line?
first
if it doesn't work with the root test, then it also can't work with the ratio test
I know

so I was thinking this can be re-written as
how is it confusing
I think it's (1/2)n
1/2 times n or 1/(2n)
it’s 1/(2n)
yeah probably
right
or else it would say n/2
n tends to what?
only then will it converge to 1
infty
1
use exp
$=\sqrt[2n]{3n}$
Allen
what now
for this
$a^b := e^{b\ln(a)}$
Médicis
ohhhh
well, that's what I was thinking
since 1/(2n) goes to 0, so it is just 1
you can’t do that
take log?
since 3n goes to infinity
log will take that 1/2n down
have you done the limit n^(1/n)
It's more like ((3)^{1/n})^1/2->1
if yes, try to use that one
but why can’t you break that into 2 roots
(I’m not an expert in limits)
you can?
but they said i can’t
where
1/(2n)->0 doesn't work as justification here
i think so

Prove that HCF(a,b,c) = [abc * LCM(a,b,c)]/[LCM(a,b) * LCM(b,c) * LCM(a,c)]
holy
[ HCF(a,b,c) = \frac{[abc \cdot LCM(a,b,c)]}{[LCM(a,b) \cdot LCM(b,c) \cdot LCM(a,c)]}]
k
Let (x,y) = HCF(x,y) and [x,y] = LCM(x,y)
Obsersations:
(a,b,c) = ((a,b), c) = ((a,c), (b,c)) = (a,c) * (b,c) / [(a,c), (b,c)]
Now we can write (a,c) as ac/[a, c] and (b,c) as bc/[b, c]
Yeah that seems like it'll work
We get (a,b,c) equal to "numerator = abc^2, denominator = [a,c] * [b,c] * [(a,c), (b,c)]"
Now I am stuck
Not really stuck but I THINK I need help and therefore I came to ask for some apparent help
(Ignore this vague message)
[(a,c),(b,c)] is the same as [(a,b),c] right
Nvm only the same brackets can do that
I'd recommend expanding the brackets one at a time
You are familiar with this right
$HCF(a,b) \cdot LCM(a,b) = a \cdot b$
Xavier 🌺
yeah
And $HCF(a,b,c) = HCF(HCF(a,b),c)$
Xavier 🌺
Same with LCM
I'd start with substituting and seeing where that gets you
The end goal is to replace all the HCFs with LCMs

In this section we discuss one of the more useful and important differentiation formulas, The Chain Rule.

is love math just as much as the next guy i swear on pythagora !
Please don’t troll, only math questions go here
i DID ask one tho
ive told him that lance
