this question is confusing me because i dont think any of these line up with sine of theta equalling -1
Why do you think so
$\f{7\pi}2 \neq 420\deg$
hayliänus austrǎlis
how did i get that
oh i see
i was counting degrees starting at the right line
going down
or wait
you probably want to start working directly with radians
remembering that pi/2 is a quarter rotation
right good to remember
let me do it again
also do you start rotations from positive x going clockwise or counter clockwise
positive is counterclockwise
ohh
that explains half of it
alright i got it on the second try
working with radians is much easier you're right
thank you

✅ Original question: #help-42 message
did they mean to use sin^-1 in this
is theta exclusively for the input of angles
Wait what
options should've just been
theta = angle
I think u substitute theta for the angles
So sin 0 etc
Cause sin-1 is only from -1 to 1
Terrible question😭
it just tripped me up for a minute because ive never found a mess up in these before lol
alr well thank you

why is there a spike downwards at 5
x = linspace(-2,6,1000);
for t = 1:1000
if x(t) < -1
y(t) = exp(x(t)+1)
elseif (-1 <= x(t)) & (x(t) <= 5)
y(t) = 2 + cos(pi*x(t))
elseif x(t) > 5
y(t) = 10 * (x(t) - 5)
endif
endfor
figure
plot(x,y)
Both should be meeting at 1 when x is 5
why should they meet at 1
if x(t) is just slightly more than 5 then x(t) - 5 is slightly more than 0
ah the +1 should help!
Thank you!

why for miu=0 you dont plot points -sqrt(miu) and sqrt(miu)
because miu=0 is valid for these points
hiii!!
@glad sinew Has your question been resolved?
mu = 0 implies sqrt(mu) = - sqrt(mu) = 0
you should also plug in mu = 0 to the differential equation and simplify

How to show zn+1 < zn .
The exponential function is not yet discussed in the book . So i can't use its properties
you want to show $c^{\frac{1}{n+1}} \overset?< c^{\frac{1}{n}}$.
Ann
Yes
are you allowed the claim of $a<b \iff a^k<b^k$, with $a,b>0$ and $k \in \bN$?
Haven't proved it yet
Ann
was it mentioned in the book
No
noi
ok then at least are we allowed to say that if p > 0 and c > 1 then c^p > 1
They have written (why?) after zn>1 and zn+1<zn
So i think we have to show both
In a proceeding example. They showed that lim(b^n)=0 , if 0<b<1.
And in this , they just wrote "we see that since 0<b<1 , then b^(n+1) < b^n
what properties of exponents are you legally allowed access to
They haven't mentioned the exponentials even a single time
Only about squares and roots

possible values of m,M are
i got f(x) = 192/pi^4 integral t^3/(2+sin^4t)
do i use sandwhich theorem or smth
wait lemme try that
wait
but they are asking integral f(x)
bruhhh
anyone help?
so do i differentiate it?
i mean max should happen at x=1
and min at x=1/2
max value = 96
min = 8
@violet mauve
Is this university-level math or high school math?
high school
No no just put x=1/2 for min value and x=1 for max
bro we will be hopefully university this year
yes thats what i did
^
So min value< f'(x)<max value
Now integrate both sides from 1/2 to 1 wrt x
Sandwich theorem I guess this is called
Idk forgot the name
oh
oh alr i can get it from there
but bro
i tried sandwhich theorem in a different way
Yeah tell
-1<sin^4t<3
1<2+sin^4t<3
3<1/(2+sin^4t)<1
3t^3<t^3/(2+sin^4t)<t^3
and then i integrated this
will this also work
Here's a hint that I think could simplify the work (apart from the bounding of f')
Use the MVT on a primitive of f
That gives you $\int_{\frac 12} ^1 f(x)dx =\frac 12 f(c)$ for some $c\in \left(\frac12,1\right)$
I mean you can try and see if it matches, I am not sure
Rafilouyear2026
i think i have a thought
let g'(x) =192x³/2 be another function, with g(1/2) =0
So like if compare f'x and g'x, well know that g'x is always greater than f'x, right?
if g'(x) is greater than f'(x) then g(x) grows more rapidly then f(x), and thus g(x) covers more area than f(x) {in 1/2 to 1}
Thus we have an upper bound
you got it?
but how do u know that this is a sufficient condition and not a necessary condition?
lemme think bro
yea yea and in the same way 192x^3/3 will be lower bound
by 3
mb
oh sorry bro im not so good with mean value theorem..i u nderstood what u said but not what to do with it
Once you have that information
i dont know how to prove that, it just came from intuition
You just have to bound f(x) for x between 1/2 and 1
You know that $f(x) = \int_{\frac 12}^xf'(t)dt$
Rafilouyear2026
:)
It's probably not the best bounds ever, I think the lower bound will be a bit inefficient, but you might get your answer with the upper bound

Is the frequency of sine function defined by number of cycles per radian or number of cycles in 2pi ?
The number of radians per cycle
Sorry, you said frequency, so cycles per radian indeed
(a cycle is 2pi)
so for y=sinx, what's the frequency? Is it not 1?
In what unit are you measuring frequency?
frequency can be cycles per time or cycles per usual period of sine, I suppose.
Frequency is typically defined as some number of events per unit of time
In maths, we say y = sin(x) has a period of 2pi because the function repeats every 2pi units in x
Since frequency is synonym with 1/period, it would be 1/(2pi)
so it's number of cycles per period?
wdym 
In what context are you asking this?
let's say the period is pi, so the frequency would be 1/pi ...so frequency is number of cycles per period?
i dont think frequency is even defined for y=sin(x) (if x an y are not time)
like frequency means how frequent an event is occuring
typically in cases like this frequency is implicitly 1/period.
oh alr thnks
in that case, for y=sinx the frequency is 1/2pi?
not 1?
cycles per period... kinda makes no sense or sounds redundant.
by definition, the period of a sinusoidal function is the distance between the starting points of two consecutive cycles, so by this definition a period always contains one cycle, period.
I would say that is the frequency, yes, if there is no other context.
if there is, please reveal it now.
no it is just y=sinx
I know, but y = sin(x) is so generic an equation you would be able to see it in engineering, physics, computer science, math, etc.
depending on where you found this equation, there can be extra context to it.
it's in math
that's why helpees are encouraged to show full context if there is one.
so should I say, frequency is number of cycles per length/distance?
I'm not sure if I agree but I can't think exactly of why I disagree, so in the interests of not saying something horribly wrong, I will defer to future helpers. sorry.

How can the derivative of 1/x^2 be positive everywhere except zero. I know that second derivative is positive everywhere except zero but if you look at the graph for x>0 the function is decreasing so the derivative must be decreasing
The derivative is not +ve
indeed it's not
In +ve x axis
so, youre right to doubt it, i'm curious why you came to that conclusion though.
could we have the context please?
Ok doing number 7
x + 1/x^2
ah there is an extra x!
okay yeah, fair. my bad.
Oh wait no number 6
i mean yea, its still not true
can you explain why you think its true, what you claimed, that its positive everywhere
6/x^4 is the second derivative
oh God, is this meant to be 'examine the sign of f'''?
the font is inconsistent throughout the page. who wrote this??
a program, probably
then it makes sense why OP was examining the second derivative, but makes no sense that they would refer to it as the first....
But if the second derivative is positive isn't first deirvative increasing everywhere
sure but that doesn't mean its positive
the function -e^(-x) is increasing everywhere and nowhere positive
@slender socket Has your question been resolved?
Doesn't that contradict theorem 4.7
what interval are you imagining?
because if f(x) = x^(-2) then f'(x) isn't continuous 'everywhere'
neither is f(x)
I was thinking of the original problem
right so, read the requirements of the theorem you posted
Yes so if f'(x)<0 for a certain interval then f is strictly decreasing
For 1/x^2 f'(x) was decreasing from x> 0 and if you look at the graph of f it is decreasing
this isnt right
for f(x) = x^(-2), for x>0, then f'(x) is negative and increasing
so, for x>0, f' < 0, and we have f decreasing there
Doesn't this contract our theorem though?
No, it doesnt.
maybe it helps to separate the concepts of increasing/decreasing from positive/negative if that is the confusion here.
How?
But for 1/x^2 isn't the the part for x> 0 decreasing?
it is
and the derivative is negative
negative but increasing. it starts off with a very steep downwards slope near x = 0, but gets shallower as x grows.
Wait how is it increasing. Isn't a function increasing if the values get bigger as the inputs get bigger
oh I mean its derivative is increasing, sorry. not the function itself.
yes, the function itself is indeed decreasing as x grows.
Wait I'm confused. Jan said it is decreasing you said it is increasing???
f is decreasing but f' is increasing. jan said the same thing!
he mentioned that f' is negative and increasing here, and in the message after he said that f is decreasing.
which is correct!
I'm finished f' is negative. I see that. How can you say it is increasing there?
^
Oh I see. Increasing because it starts very negative and becomes less
or, if you want an algebraic proof, the derivative of x^(-2) = -2/(x^3).
as x grows, this fraction becomes less negative as x dominates. therefore it is increasing.
(for positive x.)
Ok so is that why we say that since the second derivative is positive for this function it's first derivative is increasing everywhere
yes.

So my question is how woukd I know I needed to use u=(x^2+9)^1/2 for the first one and not just use u = den for the second one?
I'd do x = 3tan(t) for the first integral
In general it is extremely useful to know one of these two:
- cosh²t - sinh²t = 1
- sec²t - 1 = tan²t
in general btw for a given integral there may be more than 1 technique that works
@crisp minnow Has your question been resolved?
wHy? As in what does this help with and how did you come to this conclusion
my question answered
Sure, that's the reason why
so like when I would use trig sub vs u sub
I thought you had been taught it by your teacher, my bad
i have not
When you have difference or sum of squares under square roots, trig substitution can be useful
But there's no general rule, and more important, there's usually more than one way of solving an integral
All comes with practice and seeing a lot of already solved examples (such as in YouTube), that can show you the different scenarios
For the first one the numerator has a maximum power of 3 and denominators have max of 2 and we doin integration here so we will use x²+something into new variable to solve whole eqn by sub method
Maybe
@crisp minnow did you figure out 2nd one?
Yes its hyperbolic identity
usually when one integrates, they want to try the easiest method first, then the hardest. in my opinion, the order is
u-sub -> trig sub -> integration by parts -> other bs (power series representation, etc.)
because u-sub and trig sub involve substitutions, but reversing a u-sub is generally easier (think about why!)
in the first one, du can easily be cancelled out with the original integrand, so a u-sub is possible. but in the second one, du has 6x in the numerator which won't cancel with anything. then when you go back to find x in terms of u, you end up with an absolute value, which is a mess. thus it's better to do a trig-sub there
someone might disagree with me and say trig sub is easier than u-sub. ultimately it comes down to what you find easier to do
For this question why do we use the trig identity x=2tanu?
,rotate
Because it puts the integral of the form where substitution makes the integral easy to solve
so we the the arctan standard form?
I don't know what that means
Noone said there must be square roots for doing trig sub
i know but its common when it has one
Sure
so the above is the inverse trig formula
Inverse tangent, yes
Also known as arctan or tan^-1
That's very common in integrals, so make sure you recognise that each time you see it
yeah
Then no, from my experience they are not common at all, especially the one with arccos
There could be a few times where the one with arcsin is useful, so maybe learn that one
But otherwise no

Hi can someone review my proof :) I think i overcomplicated / done it unecessarily
(b) $\mathfrak{P}_\equiv$ is a partition of $X$\
toast
\textit{Proof of (b)}. By definition, $\mathfrak{P}\equiv = {[x]\equiv: x \in X}$, where $[x]\equiv = {y : y \equiv x}$. Now, let $x \in X$ be arbitrarily selected. Observe that $x$ must be in $[x]\equiv$ as $x \equiv x$ by the reflexive axiom of $\equiv$, so every element of $X$ must be in at least one element of $\mathfrak{P}\equiv$. Suppose $x \in [x']\equiv$. Then $x \equiv x' \equiv x$. Now suppose we select $y \in [x]\equiv$. then $y \equiv x \equiv x'$ by transitivity, so $y \in [x']\equiv$, thus $[x]\equiv \subseteq [x']\equiv$. Let $z \in [x']\equiv$. Then $z \equiv x' \equiv x$, so $z \in [x]\equiv$. Thus $[x']\equiv \subseteq [x]\equiv$ so $[x']\equiv = [x]\equiv$. Thus each element $x$ can only exist in at most one element of $\mathfrak{P}\equiv$. Thus each element of $X$ can only exist in exactly one element of $\mathfrak{P}\equiv$, thus $\mathfrak{P}_\equiv$ is a partition of $X$.

@pale prairie Has your question been resolved?
the “at most one” part is not proven correctly
it goes “if two things have the property then theyre equal”
in light of that, you should prove that if x in [y] and x in [z] for some y,z then [y]=[z]
so just out of cuirosity, what would be the biggest mistake in my proof?
i think i approached it wrong, but if you were to like take off points what doesnt make sense
my idea was like if x is in two equvialence classes, then they are the same equvialence class
but ye this makes more sense than what i did
its the correct idea but slightly wrong execution
hmm actually im wrong. your proof is correct but uses a ‘less popular’ definition of uniqueness
your question reminded me of my older post which explains two equivalent definitions of uniqueness
i tried enforcing the more popular definition here without realizing that you used the less popular one
translated to your problem, the less popular def goes “x is in [x], and if x is in [y] for some y then [x]=[y]” which is exactly what you proved

i might be missing something, but this seems really easy
by vietas we get c^4 = a^2 =b
then from p(1) = 0 we have c^4 + c^2 + c + 1 = 0
so either c = +-i or c = -1
but c cant be imaginary otherwise its conjugate wont be a root so c = -1?
I think you have it
so the sum is 1
yea

what’s your definition of a Poisson process?
In probability theory, statistics and related fields, a Poisson point process (also known as: Poisson random measure, Poisson random point field and Poisson point field) is a type of mathematical object that consists of points randomly located on a mathematical space with the essential feature that the points occur independently of one another. ...
This
hum this does not pin it down much, there are multiple “equivalent” definitions for this thing
k im going to assume it’s this one because it’s one i know and i think it applies best here
Yes
I think the 3rd bullet in what i just sent allows you to answer 1. and 3.
But I don't have to do the exercise in machine mode
well, it's more like once you understand what this property means 1. and 3. are plug and chug questions imo
in these kind of process events can happen at any time on the line (it's "continuous", a subset of R) but if you restrict yourself to counting the events happening in any interval of length t, the number of events will be distributed like a Poisson random variable with parameter \lambda times t
A poisson r.v. make sense because any number of events could happen in the interval {0,1,2,…} and that’s the values a Poisson can take. Further the longer the interval or the higher the rate and the higher the expected number of event in the interval will be because E[Poisson(\lambda t)]=\lambda t
Can you link what I just sent to your problem 1.

How would I prove this?
But it's asking to prove the following inequalities for all numbers x, y.
I've proved the previous yet idk really how to encounter this one
This is wjay I thought of doing
But this doesn't really prove it right?
Yeah I guess what I did doesn't really help provei t
Hmmm
Yeah idk how to go about this question tbh
i think cross-multiplying does it
yea i would just bash some algebra and see what happens if i wasn't sure where to start
Yeah but wouldn't that be
Oh wait
cross multiply both the hypothesis a/b < c/d and the goal a/b < (a+c)/(b+d), you will see how similar they are
you want to prove a(b+d) < b(a+c). and we also have ad < bc by hypothesis
YEah okay I proved it I think
by cross multiplying
You get ab + ad < ba + bc
Where then you can simplify ab and ba
To get ad < bc
Thanks for your help!

can someone help me make a kmap
Asking the actual question right away is more likely to get responses.
Asking "Can I ask...?" or "Does anyone know about...?" doesn't give people enough information to decide whether they can help, and answering can feel like a promise to help with the actual question, which they might find themselves unable to.
C
i already simplified it
its the same thing with first term removed
but not sure how to make a kmap out of it
do you need help with constructing the kmap itself or with making groups?
constructing
i think i can make the groups but idk how to go about constructing it
i can only make it for basic ones like the first one
can you make a truth table for it?
no 😭 I can transfer a truth table to Kmap but for the last one I don't know how to go about making it
for this
if you need to you can make a separate column for parts of the expression and then combine them
what does that mean
ok so i tried making a kmap but i'm not sure if this is right
i used demorgans on the first term to get AB' + AC' + AD' + A'B'C'D'
so my kmap is
CD/AB
00 01 11 10
00 1 0 1 1
01 0 0 1 1
11 0 0 0 1
10 0 0 1 1
i think
and i circled top left with top right, bottom two, top four right, and last column
are those the right groupings
wait i just realized
if i circle bottom right two, right column, top four, and top left just by itself it gives me correct answer
i dont get it tho that shouldn't be right
because circling the top left by itself is breaking the rule of trying to get the maximum amount in a circle
@steady panther Has your question been resolved?
1 can be the maximum
yeah but in this case you can also go for 2 right? if you wrapped 0000 to 1000
idk what wrap means
iirc, the circles must have a number of 1's inside that equals a power of two, right?
yeah
wrap as in like
the ends can connect right
like the right side technically meets the left and top meets bottom
so top left can connect with top right and form a pair instead of being solo
oou i didn't even see the yellow connection
yes the deep red
🙂
dark red: notB notC notD
yellow: A notD
green: A notB
orange: A notC
combining yellow green orange gives AB'C'D'
and then you're left with B'C'D' and there's no A'
or did I not do dark red properly
because A changes but B'C'D' don't change

I don't even know what a rank is
I have the solution pdf too. Should I send it?
I can't understand what a rank is after researching and reading about it
rank is the amount of "independent information" a system or matrix, etc. has
Like no. of independence between pair of rows or pair of columns?
for example if you had a system where you had two equations: x=2 and 2x=4, the rank would be 1 because both give the same answer
probably you should learn what rank is, before attempting to answer a question about rank
see the relevant khan academy video?

I'm going to crash out I don't know how to do ii and iii
This is a linear equation so b with just be 1
wait why
the degree of a linear equation is one
for finding a you can write the given equation in slope intercept form
do i sub in values of x and y?
Yeah in formula for slope
so does the graph for i still apply
Basically the experiment was one which was supposed to show a linear relation between x and y. Say, voltage and current
there were small innacuracies in reading thats why some of these readings are not aligned with the graph you have drawn
no as in
i need to make y=ax^b in linear
so i did lny=blnx + lna
than my axis's are lny and lnx
I think that you don't need ln for this question
Hello
it's in the form of a linear equation no?
yes
the exponent is b so it should be 1

wasnt this an advanced qn 
cause each dm is at a different distance and contributes different pressure?
🤔 was it? i dont remember
tbh no idea how to solve it even tho i know u have to integrate
no clue
uhh but that doesnt matter? since inside the sphere the layers above R/2 wont contribute any force
and the force applied by the inner part is fixed for a certain m??
wait why wont layers above R/2 contribute force?
yea exactly
shell theorem
oh fuck mb in my workbook its R/2 instead of centre
they ammended it a lil bit
i get what they assumed but apparently at the surface P=0??
gravitational COMPRESSION
at surface there is nothing above
to compress it
why would they apply weight
weight exists due to field
atleast thats what my understanding was
like
force is the cause for pressure right
and in this case surrounding particles r giving reaction force
and now if u say that the particles inside r giving reaction force to the surface, i would say yes but its not compression
@pure breach Has your question been resolved?
?? hmm maybe
yeah
net force exerted by outer shell on the inner sphere is zero but pressure is not zero
oh
aisa hai
like trying to squeeze an iron ball with hands
ic
ty
now i get it little little
okay i got it
every layer exerts a different field and hence diff pressure
therefore the pressure of the outer layers has to be calculated using integration
considering a patch of the inner sphere
each of the layers exert a pulling force on the patch which gets balanced by the normal force
normals will get involved 
this intuition is correct right
the upper layers right
yeah
i think pressure refers to pressure exerted by normal force on the surface of the inner sphere then
wait what
thats what i was saying..
aur karo irodov aur ss krotov
okayy i think i kind of get it
wait i need to draw
yeah i think pressure on the inner sphere is exerted by normal force
topmost layer gets pulled and counters by upward normal force (N1)
middle layer gets pulled (+ pushed down by N1) and counters by upward normal force (N2)
inner layer gets pushed down by N2
intereseting
Wait did you study gauss’s gravitational theorem ? It makes this much easier

it is saying that a,x,y,z,b are in AP then x+y+z=15 and if then are in HP then 1/x+1/y+1/z=5/3 then show that a=1 and b=9
I'm sorry for last night, I got sleepy
@plush kindle Has your question been resolved?
@plush kindle Has your question been resolved?
So x+y+z=15 and 1/x + 1/y +1/z=5/3. x,y,z in both equation are the same variable, right?
I asked this since last night someone said they're different
In the given question to me says same
@final flower
Should it would be different?
if x,y,z are and AP and x,y,z are also in HP
Then I don't think there exists such x,y,z in this case
I dunno, ask the one who made the question
x,y,z in AP
x=a-q
y=a
z=a+q
=> y=a=5
Now x,y,z in HP
x=1/(b+p), y=1/b, z=1/(b-p)
1/x+1/y+1/z = 3b = 3•1/5

So like. I got a test tmrw about thales, but theres this figure that i NEED to know how it works. (I cant use my notebook cuz it somehow isnt explained. Could someone please help? I recreated the question on paint from memory and i need to calculate (RO) PLEASE
oh
Is that a random line in OP?
i forgot to add a letter
THALES
its like KP
Go back
why
2 is better than one tho
Bruh lemme do something
oh okay
didnt know math community was THIS exited
helper enthusiasist im see
-# oh that's only me
No its not, there was chaos
Ok so iguess OTP is 90
you're in one
anyways, i need help
Right?

-# everyone knows that
Go back
what
...
The angle
Right
do I have to use the angle ?
what's the green part, i need to know that
i think this lacks some measurements
How is K defined
imagine a "K" next to the P
KP
Yea but is there anything specific
like, that kinda lacks some information here
RS is parallel to TP
Yea
its 2.4
not enough
Bruh
sorry, i dont think theres much
try to remember again
Yea
i dont think theres anything else with KP
then its literally unsolvable
as im guessing, if we let Q be the intersection of OP an RS, KP = PQ?
maybe
i think that's what the KP is for
i dont think theres a Q in the figure
bruh
read again
xd
brb
is this calculus?
im fucking lost
xD
E is the intersection of the 2 lines
when did you pull out geogebra xD
xD
so like the intersection is the "perpendiculaire"?
no
it's where 2 lines meet
is this considered as comedy for mathers?
no?
i like to laugh
what is 3e
when youre 41 yo
???

Hi. The question asked us to find the orthogonal trajectories of the familiy of curves x=k*y^2, where k is an arbitrary constant. I approached the problem as shown in the picture, but the correct answer is x^2 + 1/2+y^2 = c. I dont undesrtand why my answer is wrong, I found a family of curves p, orthogonal to the intial curve
Does a single curve from the orthogonal family of curves need to be orthogonal to all the intial curves at once, not only to one, is that the problem?
The curve needs to be perpendicular at every curve that it intersects at the point of intersection. But $k$ varies for these curves (you treated it as a constant).

@zinc condor Has your question been resolved?
Okay, I get that I found the orthogonal family of a single curve
But then how do I get the family whose curves are orthogonal to all the initial curves?
@zinc condor Has your question been resolved?
You need to show your definition of orthogonal for functions

if I replace y=mx
we get x.mx
√x^2|m|
so it depends on m hence i can say that it is not differentiable
the easiest thing to do is verify the cauchy-riemann equations
so i would do that first
i dont exactly remember what they are
fun fact: even without the |m| that is still not differentiable at x=0

i was able to solve this however my teacher only gave me 3/4 marks
show your solution so we can see where you may have lost a mark
also do you have the mark scheme on hand
sorry i have no marking scheme but he did write what i was missing on the test
ok so show the solution and his comment
i dont have the test rn but this is essentially what i did
i solved it in two ways just to make sure
his comment was "DOMAIN" in a large circle in red
:D
🙂 🔫
the rejection part was written out fully on the test
i just couldnt be bothered on latex
maybe he docked you a mark for treating x=2 as a valid x value to plug in instead of declaring x can't be equal to 2?

i have taken set theory last year but when defining the axiom we used first order logic (for example the axiom replacement we used a property), yet now to define the logic we use set thoery, why does it work?

Hello,
My sibling is in 10th Grade, and still struggling with Geometry, which geometry book is best for it, because there are soo many options and ratings are also very low, which book is also available an e-book form.
Are you sure they need a full book solely for geometry? I would recommend Gelfand's Geometry or Lang & Murrow High-School Geometry
These are good for in depth understanding of the subject, if you're looking for questions and application worksheets then you should go on brilliant learning and check out some of the mathematics past papers--they have some very good geometry questions in them

how
$s^2 - 7sc + 12c^2 < 0$ 🤔
schrödinger's kitten
idk what to do here
you could probably get it all in terms of sin2x
looks kinda like a quadratic to me
so i make sinxcosx into sin2x?
is that how it works
it might actually be better to make it all cosx or sinx
because cos^2x+sin^2x=1
i kinda feel like you can just factor ti
but i'm confused on the step
like what do i do first
actually yeah because its in the form of a binomial expansion
think about what (x+y)^2 is
yeah i see it
i'm so dumb bro
but it still has 7 and 12
(sinx-cosx) squared?
no what is this factorised
i actually can't figure it out
how do you factorize this
what 2 numbers add to -7 and multiply to 12
3 and 4?
yeah -3 and -4
idk how to factorize hold up
so its (x-3)(x-4)
now i see it
yeah so you just substitute x for sinx and put cosx as the other term in the binomial
so it turns into just (x-3)(x-4) or do i have to add sin and cos squared too?
so it's (sinx-3)(cosx-4)?
no the form is (sinx+acosx)(sinx+bcosx)
wait how i am so confused
if this was (sinx+cosx)(sinx+2cosx) for example
it would expand to be sin^2x + 2cosxsinx + cosxsinx + 2cos^2x
which is sin^2x + 3cosxsinx + 2cos^2x
do you see the pattern
no the first item in each bracket is sin
the second is cos
thats the point
so youre close
and thats just less than 0
so it's done here?
you need to take each bracket and find the boundaries of x
if (sinx - 3cosx)(sinx - 4cosx) = 0 then you can take each bracket separately equal to 0 and find x
i get that but idk how to countinue further i got sinx-3cos<0 and sinx-4cos<0
is it sinx<3cos?
and the same for other one
ye
so x=(3cos,4cos)
is that it?
so i square it
and turn sinx into 1-cosx squared
and then from there 1=10cosx squared
and after cosx=+-1/rooting10
yes
So now i'm done?
do it for both brackets
and make sure you get the right angle domain
think about the unit circle for that
yeah this is a tough question
it's an involved question with a lot of subcomponents

lol 😂 how do i solve this
Trigonometry
yes i know. theres an angle so...
An angle is not the only thing you need to apply trigonometry
You need a triangle, preferably right-angled
yes i see that
Mark the center of the large circle and try joining points to get a right triangle
(btw they most likely mean that the "point on the small circle" is also on the segment joining the two circle centers, otherwise this question has no single solution)
is it just me or is the problem underspecified
It is, hence my remark
ah the thing is realistically this should be fairly below my level yet im struggling with this 😂 smh
what abouyt this ?
Looks correct
how do I know its not like this? it depends on where the tangent touches the circle surely?
<@&286206848099549185>
yeah looks right
smh man what one
i got two different "looks correct" both for different solutions
what one is correct and what one isnt? and furthermore why
is it because i can not assume that the tangent lines touch the large circle directly beneath the centre of the large circle?
oh wait no
how can this work
i have no clue. this is all the information given in the question. I dont remember any circle theorem so just trying to analyse it using trig and hoping i dont need circle theorems.
opposite tangents can only be mutually at 90 degrees to the centre when they're parallel lines
opposite as in originiting from the same place
like here, the tangent can only be the hypotenuse if the point was at infinity
the tangent line cant be the longest length then when we have 2 tangents originating from the same place intersecting a circles circumference?
O cannot be the centre of the circle, you basically have to make another triangle which goes from that chord to the centre
like basically if you draw a chord connecting these two tangent points
yeah ngl i appreciate u bro but u have lost me
where can i find online a rigorous explanation for this all
-# so find yourself... 🗣🔥
What are u tryna find?
yeah I'm sorry man, am not at my best right now
@scarlet magnet original question is here
