Derivative of arctan((x+√{3})/(1 - x√{3}): Two Approaches
มุมมอง 3311 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In this video, we demonstrate two distinct methods for differentiating f(x)=arctan((x √{3})/(1 - x√{3}) where x is greater than 1/√{3) The first method employs the chain rule and quotient rule directly, while the second method uses the tangent‐sum identity \(\tan(\alpha \beta)\). Both methods lead to the succinct and elegant result: f'(x)=1/(1 x^2) This illustrates how combining trigonometric i...

Good problem and its solutions
cool
this can also be solved by using lagrangian multiplier and find the minimum value of (x-8)²+(y-15)² subject to the constraint x²+y²=49 or 7, and we find that x²+y² =49 gives a min value of 100
One small typo: At 8:25, the x values are 25/24*[2 +- sqrt(3)], not 25/24*[4 +- sqrt(3)]. This did not affect the difference between the x values later on, so the area calculation came out correct.
Thank you for pointing that out. I had noticed it earlier as well and was considering making a comment about it here. Haha.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! 😊
a + ab + abc = 1997 a(1 + b + bc) = 1997 a(1 + b(1 + c)) = 1997 1997 is prime, so either a = 1 or a = 1997 if a = 1997 1 + b(1 + c) = 1 b + bc = 0, which is rejected because b and c are positive integers a = 1 in all solutions 1 + b(1 + c) = 1997 b(1 + c) = 1996 1996 = 2^2 * 499 so b = 1, 1+c = 1996, c = 1995 b = 2, 1+c = 998, c = 997 b = 4, 1+c = 499, c = 498 b = 499, 1+c = 4, c = 3 b = 998, 1+c = 2, c = 1 reject b=1996 because 1+c = 1 and c = 0, c must be a positive integer final solutions (1, 1, 1995) (1, 2, 997) (1, 4, 498) (1, 499, 3) (1, 998, 1)
Well done!
Show how you check that 1997 is a prime number. Similarly, show how you check that 499 is a prime number. If you know this, the task is trivial. When trying to solve it, I suspected that 1997 was a prime number, but I didn't want to waste my time checking. Show how you can quickly check this (without a calculator).
I don't think there's a much more efficient way than just checking if it's divisible by primes until 43 (because 45^2=2025>1997). This should be doable in a reasonable amount of time with pen and paper (or literally just use a calculator)
@@ttmfndng201 I noticed this, I even started checking without a calculator for a while, but I gave up and watched the movie.🤔
Thanks for answering.
How are we supposed to know which numbers are prime, though?
Checking all possible prime factors such that the square of the prime is less than or equal to the number (Alternatively all prime factors less than the square root of the number, but that's a strictly calculator operation)
Thanks for answering.
Good problem on Number System .
Thank you! Stay tuned for more engaging math content!😊
9 is the highest number in this realm no matter how high you count number of completion 1089 and 6174 both add up to equal 9 the only way to excede the number 9 is through physical death or earthly transition i dont know how i know this seriously
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊
Solved it, thanks!
Excellent!
Thank you. For p>=3,odd prime,p^4 is odd number p^4+31 is even greater than 31 If p is prime p^4+31 is also prime. (2,47) This is only addition.
Well done!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your support means a lot! 😊
Sorry for the following typo errors: 1:33 we consider the quadratic equation (in u), so we shoule write u>0 and u is real. 5:00 equality holds iff (a,b)=((sqrt(2)-1)t ,t) for positive t.
A trig substitution would work pretty well: a = r*cos t, b = r*sin t for 0<r and 0<t<pi/2. The denominator cancels out to give J = (sin t)(cos t) + (sin t)^2, which can be simplified with double angle and angle addition formulas. J = 1/2*[ 1 + sin(2t) - cos(2t) ] = 1/2*[ 1 + sqrt(2) * (sqrt(2)/2*sin(2t) - sqrt(2)/2*cos(2t)) ] = 1/2*[ 1 + sqrt(2) * (cos(pi/4)*sin(2t) - sin(pi/4)*cos(2t)) ] = 1/2*[ 1 + sqrt(2)*sin (2t - pi/4) ] <= 1/2*[ 1 + sqrt(2) ] Equality would be when 2t= 3pi/4, so sin(2t) = sqrt(2)/2 and cos(2t) = -sqrt(2)/2.

J = 1000 - 3(x^4+2y^2+2y^2+4z^4) now product of x^4 , 2y^2 , 2y^2 , 4y^4 is 160000 ( constant) (because xyz = 10) hence their sum is minimum when they are equal in this case each of them is equal to = (160000)^(1/4) = 20 thier sum is 4× 20 = 80 J (max) = 1000 - 3×80 = 760 also x^4 = 2y^2 = 4z^4 = 20 gives x = 20^(1/4) y = √10 z = 5^(1/4) ❤ Happy new year (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)^2 sir 😊
