could you explain how to do this for me please?!

(2+1)log base 4 3x + log base 4 3x =1

I make the 1 a log of log base 4 4 and then i know i'm meant to turn it into a quadratic but don't know how!

Was also wondering if you could explain Increasing and Decreasing function to me if possinble? :smile:

For question 1, remember cos(θ)=cos(θ) and sin(θ)=sin(θ) cos(\theta) = cos(-\theta) \text{ and } sin(-\theta)=-sin(\theta)

So cos(kθ) cos(k \theta) can be written as cos(kθ) cos(-k \theta) while sin(kθ) sin(-k \theta) can be written as sin(kθ) -sin(k \theta)


Thnx,

For the next one I just realized:

cosθp+isinθpq=(cosθp+isinθp)1q=cos(pqθ)+isin(pqθ)\sqrt[q]{\cos \theta p + i\sin \theta p} = (\cos \theta p + i\sin \theta p)^\frac{1}{q} = \cos (\frac{p}{q}\theta) + i\sin (\frac{p}{q}\theta)
Using De Movire's Theorem itself in the last part.
I just don't get linear interpolation when estimating the median and quartiles of grouped data. Can anyone help please?

I don't know why you didn't just write 3 instead of (2+1), but this is what I get, although I may well be wrong.

3log43x+log43x=13\log_4 3x + \log_4 3x = 1

Then, log49x3+log43x=1\log_4 9x^3 +\log_4 3x = 1

Thus, log427x4=1\log_4 27x^4 = 1

So, 27x4=427x^4 = 4

And finally, x=4274x = \sqrt[4]{\frac{4}{27}}

Just put that into the initial and didn't get one, so I am curious where I went wrong, any help ?

2.

(cosθ+isinθ)p=cosθp+isinθp(\cos \theta + i\sin \theta)^p = \cos \theta p + i\sin \theta p



For the second question, see the below image.

3log4(3x)log4(9x3) \displaystyle 3log_4(3x) \not= log_4(9x^3)

3log4(3x)=log4(3x)3=log4(27x3) \displaystyle 3log_4(3x) = log_4(3x)^3=log_4(27x^3)

JuHahaha. Thx for the reply! Just realsied it should have been (2x +1) not 2 + 1 cringe....

You might have already got this far but I eventually get stuck at:

(3x)x+1=2(3x)^{x+1}= 2

After this I don't think (to the best of my limited knowledge) you can use algebra to solve it.

I also get the same. Probably, this can only be solved by using approximating techniques.

Is this a serious thread? Or a joke one lol?

Testing OP to see if legit...


If y = cost, and x = cos2t, then we can deduce dy/dx = -1/4cost. Find d^2y/dx^2.

dydx=14cost=14sect \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac1{4cost}=\frac14sect

Now just differentiate it again, remember, ddx(secx)=secxtanx\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(secx) = secxtanx

dydx=14cost=sect4\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{4\cos t} = \frac{\sec t}{4}


We are now differentiating a function of t with respect to x and so we use the chain rule:

ddxsect4=ddtsect4×dtdx\frac{d}{dx} \frac{\sec t}{4} = \frac{d}{dt} \frac{\sec t}{4} \times \frac{dt}{dx}

secttant4×12sin2t\frac{\sec t \tan t}{4} \times \frac{-1}{2\sin 2t} Where 12sin2t\frac{-1}{2\sin 2t} is obtained from the first part of the question

Do some algebra and I get:

116cos3t\frac{-1}{16\cos^3 t}

Edit: Why is my latex smaller than everyone else's ?

It's not the size, it's what you do with it that counts :tongue:

But if size does matter to you, put /displaystyle in front of your latex to make it bigger/neater, which is often useful when latexing fractions.

12\frac{1}{2}

12\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}

The second one contains \displaystyle before \frac.

It started as serious, became a joke and now's gone back to serious (I think). The OP is never around to answer the questions though so I'm not really sure the point of the thread.
