    for the second question, i used c/a as the formula for the product of the solutions of a quadratic equation, ab/57 = kab, everything cancels and simplifies real nicely and you end up with k = 1/57

    For the first question 4:30, b has to be less than 5. Only b = -6.7 is the valid solution. The other b value is extraneous.
    5 = a^n + b
    The min value of a^n is zero, which gives the max value of b as 5. In the calculation of b, a^n disappeared from the equation with the substitution a^n = 5 - b, resulting in the extraneous value of b.

    2nd question you can do it by using product of solution=c/a (constant/coefficent of x^2).
    consequently,you'll get kab=ab/57 ... cancel out ab from both side you'll get k=1/57
    this is a much easier appproach

    The first question can be easily solved by desmos by first creating a table and in place of the eqn, we should write y1~a^x1+b, the we can easilyyy keep the value of n as 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. the value of b remains unchanged..
    HOPE THIS HELPS

    Thanks for the video. In the third question, the underlying concept is that Sin(180 - theta) = sin(theta). That is why, the Sine of the reference angle that you mentioned in your solution is equal to sq.root 3 divided by two --> the given value of Sine for the given angle (theta) in the question.

    for the 3rd question isn't it possible to just use inverse functions to find the angle then just finidng the cos of the angle?

  • @mangler241
    @mangler241 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Hard is a relative term. 1) b < 5, so only the negative possibility makes sense. Note: had the difference in y-values been the product of consecutive integers, the quadratic would factor ; 2) trivial by Vieta's formulas; 3) trivial from unit circle trig values.

  • @OmarBahakim-e2q

    For the 1st question: What if we follow this approach: we substitute the given points and add the two equations while multiplying the first equation by -1. We'll have something like this: (a^{2n} - a^n - 125 = 0), and then we assume that (a^n = x). Solving for (x), we get (x^2 - x - 125 = 0). Then (a^n = x) will be one of these two values: 11.692 or -10.692. If we take the first value and substitute it into the equation:(5 = a^n + b), we find that (b = -6.692).

    • @chaska8144
      @chaska8144 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      there's 2 ways of using simultaneous equations, either elimination OR substitution, she used subtitution but you use elimination, its best practice to use substitution esp considering theres a quadratic involved, I see what you did and that's what I initially did, but I felt as thought it would look messy so I did subtitution, however your method should work tho

      No,the angle is greater than 90 therefore the theta lies in 2nd quadrant

  • @jqmenesesn
    @jqmenesesn 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    How does rounding works?, for example, for the first example that you showed, can I just write 6.69? Or how many 'significant figures' must the answer have? (if it's not detailed by the question)

    @prithvirajchauhan5723 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    For question 1: Why can't I divide the second equation 130=a^2n + b by the first equation 5=a^n + b? Wouldn't this give me 26 = a^n + 1 and 25 = a^n which allows me to plug back in and solve for b?

      Your division is not correct,

    For the last question, how do you know the reference angle is sqrt3/2? thats the angle of theta.. isnt the reference angle different??

    • @OverclockingCowboy
      @OverclockingCowboy 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The reference angle in the second quadrant is 180 - theta. Sin (theta) = sin (180 - theta) = rad(3)/2

    • @OverclockingCowboy
      @OverclockingCowboy 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The question is asking:
      In the figure, theta is an angle.
      The figure is showing second quadrant. So you work in the second quadrant.

      Theta is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. That is why it is in the second quadrant.
      The reference angle is 180 degrees minus theta, and cosine is negative in the second quadrant.

      @@sedramohammed1264First, make a table. Input n and 2n in the x column, input 5 and 130 in the y column,
      it will show an error because n is not defined, add a line saying n = 1, this will create a slider for n
      go to the next line and write this equation y1~(a^x1)+b, make sure to use ~ and not =, also make sure to put y1 and x1, not y and x
      this is so that your values correspond to the ones in the table
      when you do this you will get the regression values, regardless of n, your b value remains the same, -6.692

    so in question 1 i found the slope witch was 125/n
    then i removed n [(2n-n) and (5-125)] from (n,5) ------> (0 , -120 ) so b = -120

    For the third question, your diagraming is technically wrong because the radius of the circle is 1 and your diagonal was 2. A better way to teach it is using the unit circle.

    • @OverclockingCowboy

      She is not using the unit circle. She is using the given value of sine theta which is equal to rad(3)/2. It is more convenient.

      Theta is drawn in the second quadrant. The reference angle in the second quadrant is 180 - theta, referenced to the x axis.
      Sin (theta) = sin (180-theta).
