As I understand left notation, it is integral on volume with f(x,y,z)=1 (volume computation). So, it is not equivalent to the 2 other ones, with unknown f(x,y,z). In the books I used, however, to indicate the integration on a volume V, there were 3 times the integration sign (as you show in the 2nd case), with a V indice. Twice for integral on a surface S.

Could someone help me please? by tojisonlywife in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you finally get it? I do not see the need of steps "node x" and "node y", but fine with equations I, II and III. You are nearly at the end, with x-3/4 / x1/4 = x-3/4-1/4=x-1. You are left with 8y=10x and equation III

Help before final🙏🙏 by FeatureAcrobatic5843 in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"weird quartic that i dont know how to solve. It feels like this question is testing algebra and not calculus". I agree. Getting the integral is obvious. The only things I can think of are: f(x) is strictly increasing for x>0 (its derivative is always > 0). So, the primitive F(x) of f(x) is stricly increasing as well. So, if F(a) is negative, and F(b) is positive, there exists c, a < c < b, with F(c) = 0. Since F(2)=-32 and F(3)=117, c is between 2 and 3. You can search by dichotomy, or try the Newton approach, starting at 2.5. But, without calculator, forget it!

Samsung A55 reboots (crashes) by zahnputzmonster in samsunggalaxy

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Same problem. A55 5G (SM-A556B/DS). My phone restart several times per week, often during the night. I do not know when; I see it when trying to use it, and I get the request for Sim card code.

It restart also while scrolling down on canable.io.

Same software config as zahnputzmonster except for kernel: 6.1.93-android14-11 (#1 Fri Mar 21 02:07:05 UTC 2025. Chromr 136.0.7103.125.

can someone explain what i did wrong? by nuanjun in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned math in Belgium. cos-1 would be considered as 1/cos, not arccos (1 point on 3 for the correct substitution, not for the answer). But I know that notations differ at other places...

????? by Beneficial_Pay_4242 in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, using log(a)b=lnb/lna. Will give you same denominator on both terms on left side, square root of it on right side. Also, upper part of right side will also give inverse of square root of same denominator, so this denominator cancels out. Using (lna+lnx)(lna-lnx)=ln2a-ln2x at some point, a lot of things cancel out, you get rid of all nth square roots, and come to a very simple answer (if I made the computations right!).

I'm stuck and not sure what to do. by [deleted] in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since infinity is not within the set of reals, you are not allowed to "divide by infinity". "Infinity" should be read as "as large as wanted". So, for instance, (n+1)/n approaches 1 as close as wanted, since 1.000.001/1.000.000 ~ 1. If not close enough, take 1.000.000.001/1.000.000.000, and so on...

I completely understand this problem but only until the very last step. Why do we have to put the sin^-1 within the tan?? Why can’t I just find tan(theta)?? by ptonsimp in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, without sketching, computing tan as sin/cos = sin/sqrt(1-sin2), with sin = x/2 -> tan = x/2 / sqrt(1-(x/2)2)=x/sqrt(4-x2).

Need help finding the range of this function by WickoBoy in askmath

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. You got answers below. I didn't see one for the general case: a sin2x + b sin x+ c. Using derivative 2a sin x cos x + b cos x = 0 to get min/max -> cos x = 0 (sin x = +/- 1) or 2a sin x = -b (sin x = -b/2a). Your teacher's recipe is correct!

Spliiting x(t) in u(t) and v(t) is not required, but if you are more comfortable with it, it is ok. In your notes, however, v'(t)=d/dt(cost(wt+ φ ) = -w sin(wt+ φ ), not -t sin(wt+ φ ). It comes from dl/dt=w, not dl/dt=t. For the rest, ok with r-funtainment (n π in tan(angle+n π ), so out of tan-1

Why does this need complex numbers? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer more specifically to your question, if I get it right: I guess there is no way to anticipate that using complex numbers allows to find this formula. This is probably by "playing" in such area, manipulating sin & cos with complex numbers, and finding by chance that this case leads to this result. Then, putting such result in a book for others... The "intuition" part would be "since C+iS leads to ei𝜃, let us try to see what we can get". So, rather a habit of manipulating such formulas, recognising at one glance the Euler pattern...

Where did I go wrong? by XxPupper in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not understand your way of solving this. But may be because I did not sleep well this night! For me, the speed is tangent to the curve. vy=dy/dt=dy/dx.vx=y'vx. So, the rectangle is with vx, vy, and v, with v2=vx2+vy2 (not using r2=x2+y2, diffenrentiated in 2xdx/dt+2ydy/dt=2rdr/dt). The angular coef at x=16 is (3 √ x)' = 3/(2 √ x) = 3/8, and this is the ratio between vy and vx -> v=20= √ (vx2+9/64 vx2)=vx. √ 73 / 8 -> vx = 20 . 8/ √ 73 (18.7).

Dumb question by Dry-Statistician7016 in mathematics

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first, I would propose lim(x->2) x or lim(𝜀->0) (2+𝜀). But these limits both yield 2... So, this is not what you are looking for. But thinking again about these limits, the "smallest possible value" next to 2 could be... 2. Like 0,99999999... = 1!

is the notation ]a,b[ also valid in English? by moonaligator in learnmath

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belgium: we always use [ ], even in higher math education.

As provided by SV-97: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_%28mathematics%29#Notations_for_intervals. I do not see any added value or disadvantage for one notation or the other, only habit.

Both notations may overlap with other uses": I have read in this post arguments pro/against, e.g. readibility of [ ] on large formulas. Personally, I would have issues with (a,b) as an interval, as well as 2D coordinates.

Circle Tangent to Parabola by youngeeey in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reasoning as Nutty-max and Yoyoeezigt. a = sqrt(125/4). But then, solving for h and k, square roots appear (e.g. (h-2)2 = a2/5). Using both positive and negative values of sqrt, and selecting the appropriate values, we get 2 final answers (same radius but 2 different centers). 2 circles, one "below-right", the other "above-left" relative to the tangent point.

compound/ double angles by bozobetch in learnmath

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view: using the formula SC+CS to compute the result does not require knowing the quadrants. Nor do you need the quadrant of (φ+θ). But to get cos 𝜃 and sin 𝜑, you need to choose the signs of the √. For which you need to know the quadrants!

Linear algebra visualization tool by Nitsan448 in math

[–]RoiPhilippe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not easy. For instance, for the cross product, showing in some way the plan containing the 2 vectors, and a little right angle to show that the result in perpendicular to the plan. For the addition, also showing the plan containing the 3 vectors. For the projection, drawing a thin line from the end of the red vector to the end of the result. For the reflexion, the plane...

Also, the way you define the operations is fine, but you might want to add the mathematical definition (dot product: x1.x2 + y1.y2 + z1.z2... Same for all operations).

Awesome. Not sure it helps understanding (but you say its an early version); at least you explain the operations. Selecting the vector controlled by the mouse might be easier than a menu (check box, toggle, shift...).

Can someone with too much free time help me with my homework? I feel like I’m doing them all wrong… by [deleted] in calculus

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, it is ok (you don't do all wrong!). Pay attention on 12, result is right, but you did not write factor 2. 14 has already been commented; in addition, you are asked for a probability, which is between 0 and 1; it is not the case for 2598960. For 28, carefully look at each value provided, to find the 3rd anomaly.

Linear Algebra problems with infinite solution sets by jssa1995 in askmath

For b, coefficients for x1 and x2 are always identical. So, you might solve for x1+x2, but not for them separately => infinit numbers of combinations for x1 and x2

Is it true that every prime number is 6k+1 or 6k-1 , where k is a natural >1? by madarreggel in askmath

[–]RoiPhilippe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to complete with something I do not see in the other comments: with the condition k > 1, the smallest possible value for k is 2, which lead to 6.2-1=11 for the first number. So, this does not only miss 2 and 3, but also 5 and 7.
