Yes you are right and for this, Imgur is recommended.

Hi guys!

May be this can be done in much easier way.

Btw all questions and problems are easy -- just their solution is hard.

#6 Re: Help Me ! » SIMPLE Question » 2025-09-01 00:22:24

Hi! I'd love this question. I'll try using Integration by parts.

Differentiate:

---

Now,

Simplify the integral


Substitute back:

So the final answer:

Where did you find this question?

#9 Re: Help Me ! » Coordinate Geometry Question » 2025-08-08 02:10:21

Thanks Bob! This helps.

I got the equation as:

which is correct!

#10 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question3 » 2025-08-08 02:01:07

You left the dx. This is where you got wrong because now if you are integrating with u/v, you should also change the dx to anything like du or dv. Can you please tell me the complete question?

Hey guys, hope you are chilling.

I have a question from my Optional Mathematics' coordinate geometry, which has confused me a lot:

## Find the equation of the circle which touches the X-axis at the point (3,0) and cuts off an intercept 8 units from the positive part of the Y-axis.

I tried several attempts but failed. All suggestions are welcomed. wink

#13 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question3 » 2025-08-06 23:49:42

How did you do that? What's the method name? I did using substitution method.

#14 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question3 » 2025-08-05 23:57:00

Let, u = g(x)

Differentiate both sides with respect to x:

Now sub. back in the integral:

This is the simplest to what I know. If you give me the original equation, I might help you solving it.

#15 Re: Help Me ! » 100% simple question! » 2025-07-13 19:02:17

The all solutions:

Only the last one is a real solution which approximates to 0.1966

#16 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question2 » 2025-07-12 23:52:07

Ok that's strange and I had never seen such thing before

#17 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question2 » 2025-07-12 23:29:46

Do you mean

  Both are nearly 0

This version used JavaScript for calculation. I was originally going to use Python and it's SymPy module to find exact answer but python denied the recursive loop as it reached it's recursion limit.

But how did you know this? Can you tell me your grade?

#18 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question2 » 2025-07-12 22:52:05

Hey dude, I calculated 100s of values and the final approximate answer was 0 as shown in the figure. You can see the complete execution at https://ktesla.infy.uk/math.html But only open if you are on a PC as this has various nested loops that might hang your computer a bit (3 GB RAM) mathe.png

#19 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-12 03:36:47

Thanks!

We have two subjects Compulsary math and Optional maths.

#20 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-12 02:28:23

Thanks Bob!

I'll definitely love that.

Tomorrow I have exam of Optional Mathematics and I'll ask my teacher about the question. Maybe he can help.

#21 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-11 16:36:27

I tried 3 time with the Basel Problem:

I tried playing with it but still got nothing. I also tried learning Taylor, Fourier and Power series but all were complex.

This equation and our equation are related because they are terms of same pattern but you CANNOT find another using the first one. I only have a hope if Bob or any of us solves it.

#22 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-11 14:51:39

Ok now I don't seek any way to prove the equation. I tried dozens of methods and the only thing I can say is -- This cant be proved using pure algebra. I may be wrong but I'll be still good if we get any solution.

#23 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-10 20:41:28

After searching some pages of my copy, the question was:


which became :

Maybe I had some mistakes.... but the result was non elementary function.

#24 Re: Help Me ! » A simple question » 2025-07-10 20:24:53

I am in class 10 and I've started learning calculus (class 11) and after some time, when I'll find myself ready, I'll try learning Taylor Series and the Reimann zeta function. once I had a question something like

. I couldn't solve this and when I asked someone about it, they replied that this was a non elementary function an is written as Ei(x). That time I first saw Gamma and Zeta function.

#25 Re: Help Me ! » LaTeX - A Crash Course » 2025-07-10 20:14:31

Hi Bob,

Ok last try. You just have to use this syntax (only change is that keep everything lowercased):

 [MATH] your math codes... like \frac{1}{2} [/MATH] 

Examples:

 [MATH] \sum_1^\infty x^2  [/MATH] 

produces (after changing MATH to math):

and:

 [MATH] \int sin(x)dx = - cos(x) + C  [/MATH] 

produces:

 [MATH] {\frac{\pi}{2}}^2 = \frac{\pi^2}{2^2}  [/MATH]  produces: 

Just keep in mind: use math instead of MATH. You can also see other's LATEX by typing on them. Try clicking:
