Also theres a rule that says that for limits that go to infinity in a polynomial you can ignore all the terms but the highest degree.

You multiply this limit by 1:

Ok got it.

For exam-taking purposes, how do you decide in which side to take the element approach? Does it depend if we are talking unions or intersections?

#131 Re: Help Me ! » How to prove this set identity? » 2008-04-22 05:21:13

Prove:

So how do I prove the second one? They both make sense but im just unsure how to go on about the proof. Do I need to work from the right side?

@Luca

I looked on the back of the book and the answer they show is the same as your first attempt:

So since it shows both parts are subsets of each, they are equal.

@Daniel

Venn diagrams are not a tool to proof in Set Theory. Venn diagrams constitutes a way to visualize but you cannot prove anything with them.

I have to use an element-wise approach. So to prove two sets are equal you have to show they are subsets of each other. So:

How do I show that A is a subset of the left-hand side?

Franklin, is there any method to solve this polynomials of 3 degrees and higher?

#135 Re: Help Me ! » Solving Logarithms » 2008-04-19 07:01:38

Does your calculator have a "solve" function as the TI-89 does?

#136 Re: Help Me ! » Solving Logarithms » 2008-04-19 06:55:51

Oh thanks for pointing that out. I just took Daniel's answer for granted. So:

#137 Re: Help Me ! » Solving Logarithms » 2008-04-19 06:43:15

my TI-89 says x=1.75487766625 as the answer for the polynomial.

The area of the square is 2. The area of the circle is pi. The ratio is 2/pi

"He Replies ‘"

what are those codes?

#142 Re: Help Me ! » Seperation of variable question. » 2008-04-16 08:55:54

Very simple. Just couldnt think of it smile

#143 Re: Help Me ! » Adjacent angles on a straight line/supplementary angles » 2008-04-15 16:57:29

To be honest with you, I took geometry a long time ago. I found all the course to be mostly common sense but I forgot the names of the theorems.

Anyways, I did some googling and it is because of supplementary angles.

#144 Re: Help Me ! » Polygon » 2008-04-15 16:25:43

Theres actually a formula to figuring out the sum of the angles of a polygon:

180(n-2) where n is the sides of the polygon.

Which I see he/she used by doing 180(5-2) = 540.

#145 Re: Help Me ! » Seperation of variable question. » 2008-04-15 16:22:11

Its ok.

But your right. If you have too much mistakes then it just makes it really hard to follow a discussion.

Anyways, please post what your teacher says as I'd like to know as well.

#146 Re: Help Me ! » Polygon » 2008-04-15 16:20:39

Your right. What do you need help with? Just checking if you were right?

#148 Re: Help Me ! » Adjacent angles on a straight line/supplementary angles » 2008-04-15 16:17:28

If you want to find ADC you would say:

180 - (a + 60) = 180 - a - 60 = 120 - a

which is quite different from 180 - a + 60.

#149 Re: Help Me ! » Seperation of variable question. » 2008-04-15 14:46:08

I will get thinking about the e^C in a sec. But I was going over your first post and you said that:

But isnt this wrong? Isnt:

#150 Re: Help Me ! » Geometry Question » 2008-04-15 14:13:50

Did you understand all I did? As I said, every step I took is backed up by geometrical theorems which I dont recall their names. I suppose you do?
