Code: Select all

To solve the equation given the values of \( n \) and \( k \):

\[ y = \frac{8k^8 - \cos(2k)}{\sin\left(\frac{1}{2}k\right)} \div (9e^n \times 5) \]

where \( n = 0 \) and \( k = 4.835 \), follow these steps:

First, substitute the given values for \( n \) and \( k \):

\[ y = \frac{8(4.835)^8 - \cos(2 \times 4.835)}{\sin\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 4.835\right)} \div (9e^0 \times 5) \]

Since \( e^0 = 1 \), the equation simplifies to:

\[ y = \frac{8(4.835)^8 - \cos(9.67)}{\sin(2.4175)} \div 45 \]

Now, let's calculate the components step by step.

1. Compute \( 8(4.835)^8 \):

\[ 8(4.835)^8 \approx 8 \times 1756012.521 \approx 14048100.168 \]

2. Compute \( \cos(9.67) \):

\[ \cos(9.67) \approx -0.927 \]

3. Compute \( \sin(2.4175) \):

\[ \sin(2.4175) \approx 0.6618 \]

Putting these values into the equation:

\[ y = \frac{14048100.168 - (-0.927)}{0.6618} \div 45 \]

\[ y = \frac{14048100.168 + 0.927}{0.6618} \div 45 \]

\[ y \approx \frac{14048101.095}{0.6618} \div 45 \]

\[ y \approx 21225807.397 \div 45 \]

\[ y \approx 471684.61 \]

Therefore, the value of \( y \) is approximately 471684.61.

As I mentioned in a follow-up to my original post, when I created the function, I failed to account for different calculators and calculating programs rounding differently.
That being said, when you get an answer, I recommend rounding to the nearest whole number, and Desmos will give you the "correctly" rounded answer as long as you enter the function correctly.

The more precise number for "k" (just in case) = --- / ...- .... .-.. .-. -.-. .--- / .-- ..-. .-.. .. / --. ..-. --.. . -.- / ...- --.. -..- -.-- -.- / -.- -.-- .. ...- ...- / .-- ..-. .-.. .. / .--- --.. --- / .-- ..-. .-.. .. / .-- ..-. .-.. .. / .--- ...- -- ...- . / .--- ...- -- ...- . / -.- -. ..-. / .-- --.. -- ...- / -.- -. ..-. / --.- ...- .. ..-. / ..-. . ...- / -.- -. ..-.

Also, the answer that you got there is incorrect, you're almost there, though

hm, k = 4.83464477252012

[Clemins]

hm, k = 4.83464477252012

Yep, plug that in for k

[noindyfikator]

hm, k = 4.83464477252012

Yep, plug that in for k

but what is k used for

[Clemins]

hm, k = 4.83464477252012

Yep, plug that in for k

but what is k used for

It was supposed to be "x", but "k" is just a defined variable for the function you got there, same with "n"
Plug 4.83464477252012 where x is and 0 where n is and as long as you organize the function correctly (depending on the calculator or calc. program), you might need to round to the nearest whole number to get the correct answer.

Hindsight, mixing in some non-cancelable trig functions and exponentials kinda made it a bit wackier than I intended it to be lol

Here's a hint: Spoilers for those who care:

[noindyfikator]

@Clemins

if x = 5 and n = 0 then y = 69444.4756005

[Clemins]

@Clemins

if x = 5 and n = 0 then y = 69444.4756005

You're getting closer, dont round x, round the answer (y) instead if it hands you a y value with a decimal. If that was desmos you should** get the rounded answer on the graph.

[noindyfikator]

Is that correct answer? I thought it's supposed to be funny graph hmm

number - 53063

Not quite,

the left most number that y = is 8 followed by 4 more numbers: (y = 8####)

Set it up like this and find the y value that corresponds to x = 4.835
