general

its just changing the form

No clue if it wants you to multiplu through

i dont feel like it would be necessary to go further

cause it wont simplify any more

I assume he is just being made to practice log rules leg

then he should be told to condense the logs

Probably, but I imagine this is what is needed

the coolest log formula is log_a(x) = log_b(x)/log_b(a)

is that what I wrote here

converthing bases

yes

yeah

that is a cool formula

its actually quite useful for computer science runtime analysis

I can imagine

I like how I now have two different people to ask me questions Kappa

Been helping Umbreon with his physics and math

why do probability professors make such a big deal over Bayes theorem?

No idea, considering I do not know what that is

its such an easy to grasp concept

its just an equation for determining probability of future events based on prior knowledge

Have not done anything probability in uni yet

third year hype

alright

got another

ima just take a pic of this one

How to do m

what is the second exponent?

and exponent to an exponent do you add or mulitply?

second is -1/2

pic is pretty clear

i think

i have no idea what to do here

let r = (1-2x)^(-1/2) r(1+xr^2)

ok

go on

r(1+x/(1-2x))

then multiply top and bottem by sqrt 1-2x?

then do more stuff?

so leave it like that?

i don't know, your class is too vague

it literally just said "simplify" and then listed a shit ton of expressions

Which question

m

we is confuse

what are the exponents

I cannot read the,m

-3/2, -1/2

-3/2 and -1/2

yeah

i have to go for a run could you pm me the solution if you can figure it out?

intution says factor out the (1-2x)^-3/2 from both

working on it 1 sec

so what i did

but using the bigger exponent

yes

because that should make the other exponent just 1

unless I am being stupid

sounds correct

so should end with ((1-2x)^-3/2)(1-x)

ah

no that doesn't make it equal 1

it makes the exponent 1

thats what I meant

oh, you skipped a step

i get it

1-2x+x

yeah

Do I still need to dm him

ffs

why do you ask a question then leave

the rest of those are pretty straight forward

Yeah

second one is not algebra

I swear, I am going to get up from my desk, sit on my couch, start playing feh, and then someone is going to ask me another question

was I pinged here?

Idk
