😭
send progress?
yes
wheres the guy that actually posted the question 💀
oh na
oh
maybe thats where i went wrong
cus i divided it
by
(x+1)
to get the common denominator
x(x-3) and (x-1)(x+1) have no common factors
both fractions are already simplified, so you should only need the two denominators to find the common denominator
huh
uh
zh check yo dms real quick
you need the common denominator to be a multiple of (x-1) and (x-1)(x+1)
ideally the smallest one
@dawn vortex come back
OH
stop slacking
astaghfirullah
SHUTUP
(hint: (x-1)(x+1) is already a multiple of (x-1))
🤨
yeah listen to my mans
since the first one is like timesed by (x+1) right?
yes
note a^2-b^2=a-b(a+b)
i literally sleep 🙏
hell is that 😭
Zh already knows that i think
i dont think i do bro
you correctly factorized it here
zh, what grade are you in?
uh
basically yeah if you expand out a-b(a+b)
u get a^2-b^2
which is like grade 10
oh
maybe i used a different method
cus i have never seen that other equation befor
if it helps, most people place brackets around the a-b:
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
make the denominators common
when b=1, a=x, you obtain x^2 - 1 = (x+1)(x-1)
😨
can we come back to this?
hi guys
so, take 1/x-1 common
yes, you would multiply both top and bottom by (x+1)
The original guy who asked the question ^^^
hello
the second fraction can be left as is
ya
yes
then denomianter would be same, and then just add
then add (x^2 - 3x)/(x-1)(x+1)
hear my man
you seem to have multiplied them
never cook ever again 🙏🔥
2x
no
SHRUP
-2X
2x??
I MEANT
SHUT
microvaving it rn
good job
yes
factorise it now
factorize the numerator
Harvard is not calling bro 🙏
yea
putting it into brackets
oh
are u trolling or smt
??
yanking it out is expanding, the opposite
or you can notice it is( x-1)^2
yea
nah fencingato humbled 💀
MOVE
mah im confused
this is correct
im getting kicked by jiayingyu
you have (x^2-2x+1)/(x-1)(x+1)
huh ‼️
basically u dont want to listen that yr 7 boy
no factorising is putting an expression fully, or not fully into brackets
stfu why not
you want to turn (x^2-2x+1) into two things multiplied together
huh ‼️‼️
MADNESS
NAH FENCINGATO HUMBLED BY 3 PEOPLE
sticky fingers?
WAS GETTING KICKDD BU JIAYINGYU
like for example: (x+1)(x+1) is the same as x^2 + 2x + 1
you can expand it into x^2 -x -x+1
HOW IS IT THE SAME
nah okuyasu and the hand
WHAT
wouldn’t call that expanding but yes
=x(x-1) -1(x-1)
shes year 10
i start year 11 in september
WHAT THE FUCK
how cooked am i
uk?
Zh is british i believe
guys im in set 1
yes
yes
equivalent of 9th to 10th grade
grade U calling my friend
GOOD LORD IM IN YEAR 8 AND IM DOING MY IGCSE HIGHER MATHS
YOURE SO COOKED
STOP
OH MY HUMBLED
COOKED
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT FACTORISING IS 💀
FINISHED
what on earth
HOLY SHIT
NAHH VIO VIO
bro dont hate guys
ari please stop belittling the other members of the community for not being as advanced as you
she asked me how to multiply by decimals once
@dawn vortex dont listen to them
no but if youre in set 1 you should learn this is yr 9
yah zh stay optimistic
@dawn vortex do you revise
LOOOL
yeah same yr 8 guy that said "yes"
yes it is
she doesnt
i forgo no X
MOVEBRUJN
god forvid
she got caught dojng 0 of her french homework
YOU NEED TO REVISE OTHERWISE YOU ARE COOKEd
join vc?
@scarlet elbow what city
??
nuh
IF YOU DO NOT START REVISING YOU ARE GONNA GET YOUR GCSE UNGRADED
did people still want to solve the question
with or without revision
modified papers 💀
this is grade 7 shit (normal)
without
😭
without
cant lie to bro yeah
but been doing this in yr 8
ari is right
np
zh is clapped 🙏
so can we carry on the question guys
fr 😭
have you learnt the formula for perfect squares
i did this paper and got full marks on this https://www.mathsgenie.co.uk/papers/1hjune2022ans.pdf
there is a formula?? 😭
its one of the hardest gcse papers
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
dont bully guys
WHAT IS THAT
stop lying 🙏
genuinely who asked
(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
not lying on GOD
the fact i recognise that paper for my mocks yeah
i’m glad you’re so good at math but why did you feel this was necessary to say
last half ptsd
i can say all 6 circle theorems
HELP ME
what the fuck are theorems
ikr it took me 3/4 of the 2 hours given
a rule that is proven
oh you’re good at geometry? name all the triangle centers
saw the 2022 and i froze up
2 hours is mad
2021
this shit easy af
centroid, incenter circumcenter and something
how old are you
wait mb
hes year 8
2022
13
ding we are cooked
an impressive amount
oh
im good bro
you can improve tho
in math?
@dawn vortex
if i gave you (x-1)^2 could you expand it
modified paper im calling it
Orthocenter, excenter:
let bro cook
excenters don’t count
(x - 1)(x - 1)
ty i always forget those
@scarlet elbow has given 1 rep to @wanton bough
i know right
they’re not symmetric wrt A, B, C
btw how do u do the last parts like where do u learn that
WHO SKULLED ME IM NOT DONE
which
x²-1
Yeah okay
wait
circle stuf
LOL PAGE
What's Σ1/n^2
alr i'll tell in dms
i opened the paper and i knew DAMN WELL our schools didn't teach us this
depends (-1)^2 is 1 and -1^2 is -1
@dawn vortex can you solve this x^2+1=0
what are the ends of the summation
isnt (x -1)^2 the same as (x - 1)(x - 1)
what are you doing
no
they did, they taught you circle theorems and area and shi
n=1 to infinity
yes
yh
Nothing tbf
ZH AHYD U SKILL ME FATTY
is this the one that’s pi^2/6
no
Gonna do some geometry, hopefully an hour long session
have fun
ah nice
yeah lol
i can tell u yeah we did not do this
might be just my school
ping if you want help
Sure.
you got shit education system
what are circle thermos bro
There are a lot of them
example
Rotation in geometry is amazing
I'm 20 years old and I still find it hard how to relate this to what formula
tangents?
don’t worry too much about them
A perpendicular from the center always bisects a cord
YOUR SO REAL
what...
loci??
Think about it in terms of geometry and squares
tangents are perpendicular to a radius
had 4 different math teachers this year
damn?? 💀
Tangents from the same points are equal
whys there so much people in this forum yet no one is now answering the original question
Okkk
i tried
fuck is a tangent again
too many people here
its not the teachers tho (we had 3 one yr)
That's what I thought
is it like a line in a circle
woah
that doesnt go through the center
line that touches the circle once
This place is overcrowded.
OOH
on mums yeah its the teachers fault
i was thinking about a cord i think
What's happening here 💀
i will say i was here first
in fact, alot of algebra has the potential to be proven by using areas of shapes to prove equations. but not all the time
How did this algebra prob turn into circles?
deadass i have no clue
and intend to help with the question
a line touching the circle at one point and the radius is perpendicular to it
Did the original question get answered?
FR THO
Yeah damn
no
half of the content wasnt even taught
not fully
1+1?
guys, stop this bs
3
no
111-109
Thread owner too clapped to understand
someone decided to say “i know all six circle theorems”
okay we all agree on that
not true
lets all just stop talking at once and help OP
leap
Why did they randomly decide to talk about circles in this?
Yes!
dont lie
they wanted to tell everyone they were good at math i suppose
COUGH COUGH @scarlet elbow
i’m not lying
more ppl= more hard to understand tho
Wow, that's ultra irreleavent
whilst the chat is being flooded?? 😭
okay just let one person help
bru im just the hella supportive friend
ari did
leap
Let @plucky fern do the help work
right zh?
let Zh choose who helps with this question
my ass
who was here to help first
Yeah better
exactly
“heh… no one likes me…” ahh
you started it with the igcse paper
💀💀
ari
@dawn vortex Whom do you want to get helped from
feck off
micabo
clearly dingwhynot
@dawn vortex im smart lemme help u
leap
he seems to know a lot
smart?
Are you Zh???
yh
nice
bro trying to rizz
kind of
this sounds like a euphemism
i asked her to answer this question
yeah shut up @neon birch 🙏
Bruh
we get you’re advanced in math. no need to rub it in anyone’s faces. you brought up circles and gcse papers
next one to speak is gay
awhat 💀
alright everyone let the smart man help
ok buDdy
thanks
smartness doesnt work here (ability to teach does)
u r not hard my friend 😭
Okay guys! LETS MOVE OUT FROM THIS and let MIcabo help
miggy has been typing for like 2 minutes
yeah but if you only know what 1+1 is then how do you teach circle theorems then 💀
thats 120 seconds guys
he doesnt have the power to ban
oh
miggy is gonna cook
we are safe chat
brah im staying as the supportive friend
thats it imma leave chat
HOW IS OK BUDDY ACTING HARD DAWG WJAT
bye guys
we are not teaching circle theorom
been here since minute 2 of this post
$\frac{1}{x-1} + \frac{x^2-3x}{x^2-1} = \frac{1}{x-1} + \frac{x^2-3x}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{x+1}{(x+1)(x-1)} + \frac{x^2-3x}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{x+1 +x^2 - 3x}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{x^2 - 2x +1}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{(x-1)^2}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{x-1}{x+1}$
thank god
Miggy >///< :3
what the actual fuck
NAH
Lol, you got helped
ME PERSONALLY
WHAAAAAA
Solution
Now lets close this
we aren't supposed to just give answers i think
@whole rapids has given 1 rep to @scarlet elbow
no move
nice latex
i need to understand
True
how to do this
miggy just shit on all of yous here
basically get common denominators
i dint mean too
remember who got a grade 7
then just add the numerators
argh
we’ve BEEN THROUGH THIS
Read it carefully and tell me if you don't understand a step
while sleeping all year?
I know
WE ARE ON STEP (x^2-2x+1)/(x-1)(x+1)
nobody knew the content bc all of the content wasnt taught
i’m TRYING TO GET ZH TO FACTORIZE IT
so shut up my friend
but zh still needs help with this
i think she knows how to add basic fractions bro
on about whats factorising
AND YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU WERE HERE
😭
we’ve. been. through. that.
505 messages💀
Please stop for the love of god.
where are we even at
everyone just let one person talk
so the answer is x-1/x+1??
my friend just sit the fuck down 😭 u lost all ur aura from this
yes
factorizing x^2-2x+1
yes
its a perfect square.
do you understand why
whats factorising again
its simple
not loading
its a quadratic right
yanking out the brackets!
for sure
Zh would you mind if i talk to you in dms
NO
splitting the middle terms
(x-1)(x-1)??
I NEED TO KNOW TOO
yes
yes
yes
fencinggato is the one that asked me this
hes in year 7
fair enough
NO IM NOT WHAT
The little boy here was the one who asked Zh
absolutely outrageous i know asking zh
,w 1/(x-1) + (x^2-3x)/(x^2-1)= (x-1)/(x+1)
dms is not allowed i think
the fuck
They are
lmao miggy
550 messages for this??
oh
yes
leap
nah nah what
Trivially proven by Wolfram Alpha
to what extent?
u adding messages isnt making it any better
This is a hellhole.
he did not say anyrhing 😭
you too
then leave
Yes, I'll leave.
NAH
Said the British
NAHH
new goal:1000
me personally
NLSOL
your british too
i would not have anyone tell me to leave
not me 
i got a grade 9
like fr
nobody gives 2 fucks holy shit

i was talking to ding
anyways
LOOOL
you said you were leaving ari
for a bit
fr
so gtfo
nuh uh
ari getting jumped tonight 💀
hiws the poster?
What's this Ari bullying lmao
i wanna see how miggy does it
i fifnished
I already did it
ah nice
Here
ik im just looking at how they wonder how you cooked
im just fixing the text color and all
i’m happy to see miggy explain the factorization of x^2-2x+1 to Zh and fencinggato
Stop spamming
I asked him he doesn't understand any step
imma head out
wish i could understand it 😔
remember when factorising quadratics in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the 2 numbers should multiply to ac and they should sum to b
this more active than general fr
so for example
<@&775784618955505685> , some people need to stop talking shit in a thread dedicated for help.
WHAT IS THAT
That's easy to show. He probably knows the Identity $(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2$
Miggy >///< :3
how to factorise quadratics
chat we gotta dip
madness
exactly
yessir my fav theorem
Zh does not; we have checked and you would know if you were here
Just tell him to change $a = x$ and $b = 1$
Miggy >///< :3
the hell is a$
dont identitys have that 3 lined symbol instead of =
Then tell him to expand out. Doesn't he know how to expand out either?
for equivalent
you are complicating it for op
so to factorise x^2 -2x + 1 = 0
i did that biggie
@zh type +close
Only in your house
it is (x )(x )
(x-1)(x-1)
??
@dawn vortex type +close
im doing step by step
i have asked
i did that before
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
alr
trust me i have asked
so what do you need help in
@dawn vortex do you know how to multiply polynomials? Multiply $(x-1)(x-1)$
Miggy >///< :3
Let's see what you get
she does
hell is a polynominals
can you expand (x-1)^2
Multiply (x-1)(x-1)
x²-1
go page
er
cheering for you
No, go slower
x²-2x+1
little boy shut up
er
Great
an expression with many terms
So now you know they're equal
BRO MODS??
You're welcome @plucky fern
i knew that tho
Not according to Micabo
someone said it in chat
But micabo said you didn't!
now can you factorize (x^2-2x+1)
many people have said it in chat
because someone else said it or because you know how to do it yourself?
is this the andwer
669 posts.
NAHH
erm
ding please shut up
jump
No, that's just the numerator
FACTS
NAHhh
The denominator was (x+1)(x-1), remember
682
give man another question ¯_(ツ)_/¯
yea
so they
cancek out
right
Yeee
the (x-1)s
And what are you left with?
(noclue)
What do you have in the numerator?
You had (x-1)(x-1) and you cancelled one of them
So now you have (x-1)
And in the denominator you had (x-1)(x+1)
You cancelled out the (x-1) so now you have (x+1)
So in the end, you have (x-1)/(x+1)
ari what is wrong with you
700! Congrats!
,w 700!
700! is a big number
@dawn vortex the answer
do u guys want another question like this
to test zh's new learning
@dawn vortex a polynomial is a expression with multiple variables/coefficients
Yeeee
yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh
alr wait
need to test u aswell child 🙏
Yeah, it indeed is.
cant we simplify that
No
no because they're opposite symbols
That's not simplify smh
but in terms of simplification not really
smh
i know
because having it in that form could be useful in occasions
not write in different way
725
@dawn vortex whats expanding
get yo ass
taking it out of brackets 🤑
You can also turn it into 1/(x-1) + (x²-3x)/(x²-1)
whats factorising
one of my next messages was literally “but that’s not really simplifying”
putting it into
wheres fencingato at
the difference is one of those forms is actually useful
whats a polynomial
this 13 year old has no respect
@plucky fern i saw that
@dawn vortex can u see
DONT HAVE
yeah
im not american
Fair
youre a 16 year old, who doesnt know what factorising is
ofc i wouldnt have
i do tho
a bit blurry but i’m sure miggy can latex it
NAH ARI SPITTING FACTS
So? Are you gonna mock him for that?
whats a coefficient
A polynomial is a math object, not something else that exists in America
dont talk
You're a helper, are you?
yeah sorry i stole it off my cousin's homework they sent me to do (they are 16)
750
GELP
I MISCLICKED
stop lying
yh but its weird because usually in set 1 you learn this type shi in year 9
U HAD A MISRAKE ASWELL
u even said "are u trolling or smt"
you dont have to learn yourself
no?
you’re a 13 year old who thinks telling people about your exam results unprompted garners you respect on the internet
im in set 1
$\left(a-1 + \frac{a+3}{a+2}\right)\div\frac{a^2-1}{a+2}$
then whyd you forget 💀
What, what's the divided symbol?
whats that o for
idk dementia
You should leave this thread then.
slash
It's supposed to be ÷
Exactly
the other one
finnish o lmao
W
783
zh answer the question
what question
This
the internet says \div
Miggy >///< :3
There it is
gon be real with u zh yeah 😭 u cant just rely on other people to back u
Yeah, thanks!
an algebraic expression which consists of variables, coefficients, and mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division
damn right i searched that up
what are u gonna do lil guy
Bro copied it straight from Wikipedia
DAMN RIGHT
How about x^47+1=0?
u just lost all ur aura from that
Irrelevant
It's not even right, lol
is that even posible
oh well 😭
Yes.
whats the answer
u caled him "lil guy" but he humbled the shit out of you
It doesn't have division as an operation.
x^47=-1
this looks easy!
you searched it up
do it rn
whats a coefficien
so -1, ω and ω^2 are solutions to x^47+1=0
the hell is w
cons of being a mathematician
OMEGA
??
??
wait wrong omega
omega ohms
$\omega$
Miggy >///< :3
As opposed to $\Omega$
Miggy >///< :3
Complex root of unity
which one
?
1st one
Using the well known ordering of the complex numbers
the solution to x^1 = 1?
is this abt my question i sent above
Yes
no im guessing
i can’t think of a solution w to x^47 + 1 = 0 that also satisfies w^2 being a solution
Cant lie guys we straying off topic here 🙏
The little boy asked a question and we are ignoring him
little boy 😭
keep change flip for real
ok what’s our first step
i wish i knew
ok
ohio
That's because there aren't. 47 is not divisible by 2
let’s do PEMDAS and start with the brackets then
ω^2 won't be a solution
uhh arent we flipping the fractions
zh you know bodmas?
tbh that works as well
brackets
your grade 9 is faked
we keep the denominator x+2
indicies
exactly
but i want to get the brackets sorted out first
ther are tho
875
on the mock i did no
bidmas been doing that ever since primary school
thats not with exam stress tho
you think im gonna remember that dhit
me too ngl
hell no
YES BRO
U should
ur grade 9 is false
ask ur teacher to change it this instance
yk trig?
i stopped doing it in year 8
yea
💀 ur cooked buddy
soh cah toa 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
name all 6 trig ratios
NAHHH
you dont know either
she went straight to google
yh thats right, now expand it
oohh
guys stop bulling him/her let him/her think
those are the ratios??
sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse
“them” was right there and less letters
let them cook 💀
thats right, but i want the full form
why did we change questions again
HOW IS THIS relevant?
HELP

Yeah
nah hold on let them cook
the little boys question can wait
?
alr so
when are we gonna answer it bro
@dawn vortex you need to change a -1 to a fraction with denominator a + 2
i’m going to leave for a while i think
avoiding the question asked to u
nooooo micabo 😭😭
which question
point to it and ill answer
the trig one
say ut again
935
hitting 1000 with this one
Yes mate.
europe burns in us
does sin-1 count as a ratio
bruh stop it now
Yes!!
NAH DONE US DIRTY
no
SWITCHED THREADS
who
Micabo
yh, thats cosecant
@dawn vortex i feel like im making you distracted
imma leave
bye
Wow
sorry for distracting
Finally
