it is kinda difficult to read, you seem to have written x = 16 in somewhere, for x^2 = 16
you willl have two values +-4
also you have another root
I send you the original equation
^^
Is y ok?
for the y intercept you are finding values for whiich function = 0
I have to find x and y intercepts
Which I’m doing both of
Which is written on the page
yes x intercept is alright

How do you solve 2x2 systems? For example 5x=6y+40 2y=8-3x
there's usually two different ways of doing
one way is that you rearrnage to make one of the variables the subject
and then substiute it to the other
for example from $5x = 6y + 40$ you get $x = \frac{6y+40}{5}$
MxRgd
which you can subsitiute to the other equation 2y = 8 - 3x to find the value of x
once you've done that, you can plug the x value into either of the two equations to get your y value

Hello, im not sure how to answer question 6. Its to do with ratios.
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
I don’t know where to begin, im mostly just trying subbing in values to see if that gets better anywhere
@simple nova Has your question been resolved?
you could do a/b = c/d = e/f = k
and now a = bk c = dk e = fk substitute some things and maybe you can simplify the left side
ive done that to get k^4(2b^6 + 3b^2 -5f^5)
then im assuming I cancel out the like term and then resub a=kb in
to get a^4/b^4
yeah

hello, I am working on this problem. I understand that all you have to do is realize 1 over 1-x = 1+x+x^2 .... and whatever and I got there. However I am a little iffy on how convergence and differentiability acts when i do this process, maybe someone can explain it to me?
power series are differentiable on their interval of convergence
Can i jsut say $\sum 1 + x+x^2+\ldots$ is continuous on |x|<1 and then is infinitly differentialble and thats it?
hummingbirdpostnerf
I recommend starting with finding the series of 1/(1-x)³ and then multiplying by x
but you need to finf the series of the function in the exercise
sorry, I guess I am just confused if I am able to do this, from a calc2 POV i know i just differentiate 1 over 1-x and its power series twice and multiply by x on both sides i am just wondering if i have to
argue it in some way or something
yes, you do argue it by saying that
i see
power series are differentiable on their interval of convergence, and the differentiation is termwise
i see and this is for all power series?
ya
and is it always infinitly differntialbe
know what induction is?
oh it is only if f is
i would hope so...
well, if the derivative of a power series is a power series
then it follows inductively that they are infinitely differentiable
now, you have to prove in the first place that
the geometric series is convergent to 1/(1-x)
but you probably did that already in an earlier exercise or in class

What is the difference in process between finding the tangent line of a parametric curve WITH vs. WITHOUT eliminating the parameter?
(currently doing problem 13)
without eliminating the parameter would make u use chain rule
$$ \frac{\dd y}{\dd x} = \frac {\dd y}{\dd t} \cdot \frac{\dd t}{\dd x}$$
and eliminating the parameter means that u remove the parameter (which is t here) , so u get a equation only based on "x" and "y"

✅ Original question: #help-10 message
i dont know how u did part b btw
U didn’t eliminate the parameter u just plugged it in
i would count that entire procedure as , finding without eliminating the parameter
By eliminating I thought you meant t=e^(x-1), so y=e^2(x-1)+2, and now just dy/dx
yeah that is whats meant by eliminating the parameter
And he did sth else
Bro just found t and substituted
That’s a continuation of method 1
tbh , thats fine cuz we were trying to find without eliminating
ye
Yeah but he’s written it under “eliminating the parameter” so I think OP is getting confused here with its meaning

but to do that you will first need to prove the base case, so that's your current goal.
Yeah, she already said she plugged in one
You might need to plug in two later I’m not sure
she seemed to be questioning whether she needed to or not, so I'm just making it clear that she should.

i am having trouble deciding on when to use disc method or shell methjod
how do i pick which method to use
the washer method always (mostly) work, but the shell method sometimes can make it a bit easier, you want to use the shell method when your rotating perpendicular to the axis your integrating on
say your rotating a curve around the y axis and your integrating with respect to the x axis then you would want to use shell method
i see
one more question
how would i do these types of problems
without a having a picture of the graph
number 9 revoling around the y axis
make your own graph
Which method do you think you should approach this one with (shell or washer/disk)?
^
well you want the representative recatngle to be perpindicular to the axis of revolution
and its not
its paralell
so
i think
shell?
yeah
i dont understand how i would do these types of problem without the graph though.
my test is no graphing calculator
to do it without a graph
you want set the equations equal to each other and find where they intersect
to give you your bounds of integration
ok
so for example you want to find x when 4x -x^2 = 4
to find where the curve intersect the line y = 4
its at 2
ok and now we also want the other bound
the other bound would just be x = 0
sometimes you only have to set one equation equal because in this case they say x = 0 as a bound
so they give you that bound
how do you know what is a bound and what is a equaation
its a bound and an equation, you can imagine it like this the line x = 0 is a vertical line at 0
so our region is bounded by this verticle line
if we had a linear function like x, we would have a triangle, but we have a parabola so it wouldnt be triangle more like a curved triangle or something
my drawing kinda sucks it looks like a liknear func oops
even if you draw it wrong as long as you get the bounds right and integrate the right equation youll get the right answer
so once we have the bounds what do i do
ok
now we want to use the shell method
and so you can just apply that formula with the correct bounds and function
is shell method the one with 2pi
yeah
how do i find out like the things inside the integral
like the 2 radiuses
theirs like a height
and radius
how do i do it
Does your forumla look like this
$$ 2\pi \int_a^b r(x)h(x)dx$$
Branshi (Hints only plz)
so r(x) is going be the distance to the line your revolving around
we are revolving around the y axis
another way to say that is we are revolving around the line x = 0
it would be x + 1
hmm explaining that might have make me go deeper in the math and I have to go soon, but maybe this image will help
so when were integrating remeber that we are really adding up infintely thin rectangles
and we are integrating from 0 to 2 so think of x as traveling from 0 to 2
now here in the image imagine we rotate along the y axis
that rectangle becomes a cylinder (thats the shell method)
the r(x) in the formula is the length from this arbtrary cylinder at position x to the axis of rotation
yeah

✅ Original question: #help-10 message
wait
one kmore quesiton
since i wont be able to draw a represenative rectangle
how do i know which one to choose again?
if they ask you know, if they dont ask you generally go for the bounds that are easier to solve for
maybe one is f(x) and one is f(y) which ever is easier to make f(x) or f(y) is the one to pick

For 5 we are just being asked to ovulate the log without a calculator an I don’t know how to contuine
what would log_5 (25) be
(Asked to what the log?)
it's log_5
yeah it's 2
what k?
It just says evaluate the log expression without using a calc
So it would be 0.67
Best to use exact form.
So just the faction
unless required to do so, you should avoid decimals.
Now I have Lne^-4 and I don’t really know where to start I don’t see anything I can do
is this a separate question?
Yea but same overall if that makes
so you're asked to evaluate $\ln(e^{-4})$.
non-Euclidean cat (Yukari)
this should be straightforward, yes?
just the 4?
But I I guess I don’t really know what it is asking me to do like I don’t know how my final answer should look like
your final answer is one number.
Am I finding the value of e?
remeber that $\log_a (a^b) = b$
no.
MxRgd
e is a constant anyway.
I’m so confused
If this was a log not an ln I could do it
ln is the same as log_e
...did you forget that $\ln = \log_e$?
non-Euclidean cat (Yukari)
so $\log_e(e^{-4})$.
non-Euclidean cat (Yukari)
you can turn any logarithm to your logarithm of your choice, if that was your concern
how can a number equal a negative expoinet
huh?
it's one application of this rule.
if you insist on a missing value, let x = this log and solve for x.
but it makes no difference, and you should not rely on this method.
Wait so it would be -4?
exactly.
I thought this rule only applies when you have a log in the exponent
huh?
How do I know when this rule applies and does not apply?
this rule always applies within the domain of logs.
Huh
I'll redirect that "huh" back to you.
,rccw
Oh
you're conflating $\log_a(a^b) = b$ with $b^{\log_b(a)} = a$.
differential Towametry (Towa)
Does the first one apply when the base is equal to like the gf that’s what I call the thing inside the ()
it's called the argument, and yes.
if by equal you mean that red and green have to be the same then yes
All the logarithm does is give you the exponent to raise the base to so you get the argument.
When I say gf I meant like growth factor which I use in like word problems but it’s so ingrained in my memory I can’t change it
honestly, it may be time to revisit the definition of a logarithm and the four basic log rules you can derive from it directly.
My test is tomorrow 😅
I get a reference sheet but idk what’s on it so I guess I’ll pray it’s smth actually useful
That's like, plenty of time to revisit the basics for this one thing.
esp. when it's just one definition and four laws
It just helps you find exponents when you know the base and the result.
With careful algebra you can invent the log rules yourself just from knowing $\log_a(b) = c$ means $a^c = b$.
velverette
I feel like I know the other ones pretty well
ideally there are seven rules, but two of them follow from exponent laws, and one of them is base change, so it remains for you to master the four basic ones
I mainly get tripped up on the natural logs
Whenever you see $\ln$ just replace it with $\log_e$.
velverette
$\ln = \log_e$, just keep that in mind.
differential Towametry (Towa)
Great minds.
but all rules of logs apply to lns just as much as they apply to regular logs
yes, including base change
but then for something like this do I put two Es or one E
wdym two e's
Like if ln is always log tiny e where do we put the e in the orginal equation
Cus it’s the b value
Typo again sorry I need to get sleep lol
two of us literally just told you that
Yea I know I’m just questionifn myself on how to write it
Think about it like $\log_e$. $\ln$ is just shorthand.
never ln_e
velverette
if that's what you're asking
Like I know that to be true but then I just get confused when actually doing it
need more practice then I suppose
my way for students in this situation is this
write down ln = log_e in front of you
then, while this statement is always in your sight, do a bunch of problems with lns
Is this writing by it correct
yes
I have that memorized well I just have trouble converting between the log and ln
that's why I said to write it down in front of you.
because it seems that you're unable to recall or use the fact on demand, presumably because either you don't believe it somehow or you can't connect lns to log_e, even though the statement itself is in your mind
Practice is key!
I think I get confused on where to put the e’s
that's why my advice is to write it down (1)
so that if you get confused, you need only look back
of course, you should do it now so that it sticks in your mind for the exam and not wait till during the exam (but if you recall it at the start of the exam, write it down ASAP and refer to it if necessary)
With enough exposure to problems it'll be like you have it written down in your head.
also as miss Yukari said earlier, learn to step back when you feel like you've hit a dead end. often the best course of action is to pivot to another question first, then come back later after your mind has reset
I’m confused why the ^2 just got moved around on the right side
what?
wait I’ll send the question sorry my bad
“ Each statement below is false. Determine the error and write an equation using the log rule correctly.”
I don’t really know why they are not equal I thought 2 would be put in front for both of them
I will say I kinda hate the arrangement of this answer
$\log(a^2) \neq (\log(a))^2$
differential Towametry (Towa)
to illustrate, let's use a very simple example in base 10.
$\log(100) = \log(10^2) = 2 \log(10) = 2$, BUT $(\log(10))^2 = 1^2 = 1$
differential Towametry (Towa)
(I mean this is kind of a silly question because you can just evaluate them and see that they're not equal lol.)
(Also you can just divide both sides by log(5) and they're clearly not equal.)
It was one of the earlier homework’s so maybe my mt teacher was trying to ingrain the rules in our head
But I was not here for one lesson and she was out for the next so that’s why I’m so lost 😅 and that is why I legit never miss math unless I’m forced to
I mean given this [what's written] should be fine.
All you might have missed was a little more time establishing the log rules. Logarithms are not very deep.
Yea the main thing is I missed a block we call iblock at our school the same day I missed math so like 3 lessons worth of quesifon got piled up
Oh that sucks. ^_^;
I was able to understand and do up u til the final step where it was equal to 3/2 I thought it was mane the rule we talked about earlier but there’s no expoinet
This is correct.
You can also do this pretty directly. log(10) is 1 and log(sqrt(10)) is 1/2.
Oh lmao sorry. I should have been more vigilant.
I just don’t understand how we got 3/2
I tried setting it up as like 10 to what equals equals blah blah blah but could not
1+1/2, from the powers of 10
$10 \cdot 10^{1/2} = 10^1 \cdot 10^{1/2} = 10^{1 + 1/2} = 10^{3/2}$.
velverette
And of course log(10) = 1 as always.
$10 \cdot \sqrt{10} = 10 \cdot 10^{\frac12} = 10^1 \cdot 10^{\frac12} = 10^{1 + \frac12} = 10^{\frac32}$
differential Towametry (Towa)
oh bruh
Lmao. Think alike.
Yea I undedtahd that but then the whole thing is equal to 3/2 which I don’t understand
product rule of exponents!
I mean the working is there . . .
OHh
Bro I need to stop overthinking it
Like all my problems have been either natural logs or overthinking it
this is a bad way to do it, just pull out the exponent from the second term and then it becomes 1 + 1/2
OP, I'm afraid overthinking is probably just part of the issue here...
that's the answer key
Yea that’s what I said. That sounds rude sorry I suck at conveying tone over text
being rude to me is the least of your concerns atm
Perhaps it was a good thing you missed your teacher if they're going to be so convoluted haha.
Idm if you cussed me in the face if that helps you improve your math
Maybe she is trying to do all the problems in the most consistent similar way idk 😅
but this is good for learning the rules isn't it?
no
I suck at math but I get good grades in it so whatever
The most consistent way would be the simplest.
I’m a senior I got like 30 days left
well, sure Ig
literally no reason to do it that way and teaching it that way is bad for learning since it makes you do extra steps for no reason
they should just give problems that actually require the rules
Damn that's like 30log(10) days.
instead of trying to show a convoluted way to arrive at the same answer
😀
yes i agree
hopefully
I got a good grade on my last test so like maybe it will balance out and I’m still doing practice problems
You're set to ace the next exam.
logs, like most topics in introductory algebra, are something you just have to do lots of practice problems on and then eventually it'll click
Although I got no idea where to start with this one like I know it will become division because of the subtraction I know I could make the 3 and 4 into exponents
Ugh I suck at algebra
What are they asking you to do?
I mean you basically have the right idea.
execute it.
Simplify to a single number or expression using log properties
wait
didn't Ramonov do it with you like... three days ago?
this exact question even
probably
I do all the homework over again
Cus I have a sucky memory so it’s basically a new question
pull those coefficients inside the logarithm argument as exponents (make sure to distribute them to each variable), then use the subtraction/divison property to write it as the log of a fraction and cancel the terms in the fraction
Combine the logs then. This isn't too bad.
and also it allows me to see if I actually remember the stuff I learned
Give them time to guess lmao.
you have to distribute the exponent to both terms
it becomes log_5 ((xy)^4)
= log_5 (x^4 y^4)
the exponent applies to the whole argument
Oh ok but what would I do after adding those cus I’m basically in the same place
(Also a good idea to write $\log_5\left(\frac{x^4y^4}{y^3z^3}\right)$ instead.)
velverette
yea and those y's cancel
Give them time to guess lmao.
mb
You can’t do anything after that right and u are still left with one y up top
Yeah.
yes that's the final expression
Ok well I’m going to head out cus I think this is the best it’s going to get with just repeating old stuff and k got a free tomorrow before my test so 🤷♀️

could someone please explain to me what part c)d)e) all mean
i understand that for it to be a real vector space, it needs to be closed under addition, and closed under scalar multiplication and also contain the zero vector, which is true for part a). part b) isnt closed under scalar multiplication but i dont know if i am understanding wha tthe question even means?
or just how i can understand this question and this topic better 😭
-# sniped
yeah what the sets are
well I can write them in set notation but I doubt that is gonna help
what exactly is confusing about those sentences
oops im not making it clear
what is the difference between like 'at most' in part b with ' exactly' in part c, how do those words impact my answer?
and also kind of same with the words integer and real but ik thats a silly question
ik what real numbers are
at most 5 means deg(p) <= 5
exactly 5 means deg(p)=5
so the set in b has polynomials like x^2+3, 15x^5-3x^4+7 and x^5+x^4+x^3
and the set in c has polynomials like 15x^5-3x^4+7, pix^5-3 and x^5+ln(2)x^3+130.3071
but not for example x^2+3
AHHH okay thank u so only set in c will have polynomials to deg 5
so it would work for addition
but not scalar multiplication?
would it?
if u add like 15x^5 - 3x^4 + 7, with pix^5 -3 , it would be ok
i think#
what about -15x^5
The zero polynomial is also not in (C) so you can immediately dismiss it as a vector space
thank u !!!
how do you show this
oh no
nvm
bcs
if i had a polynomial like 15x^5 - 7
wdym
just set all coefficients to 0
Yes
oh
No, it requires it to be exactly degree 5
Well is p(x) = 0 a degree 5 polynomial
🤔
I thought it would be a trivial one since you can choose the coefficients
oh
With (d) you could use the fact that the kernel of a linear map is a subspace and that all subspaces are vector spaces
im so sorry wdym by this
Do do you know what the kernel is
no :(
Its the null space, all solutions that x s.t. T(p(x))=0
OH
but how do i apply this to part d
hm
sorry i lied
oh
We have T(p)=0 where T is a linear transformation
We can say T(p)=p(0)-p(1) is this map where its preimage of 0 would represent the kernel

so I got this task from ratial equations
lemme translate it
train was supposed to go between 2 cities in a time dictated by the timetable, due to a malfunction it was stopped for 30 minutes on a in-between station. the rest 120km it drove with a velocity 20km/h higher than the first part, thanks to this it wasn't late, calculate what should be the average velocity of the train according to the timetable
so, what can I see
-1 - referring to first part of the road
-2 - referring to the second
s length
v velocity
t time
v1 = v2 - 20km/h
v2 = v1 + 20km/h
s1 = ?
s2 = 120km
t1/2 = ?
and I'm lost what to do next with the given values
I know that v * t = s and due to that s / v = t but don't know how to apply it
I even found a solution to it which I'm attaching, but don't really understand the reasoning behind it (sorry for 4k full hd)
@autumn edge Has your question been resolved?
First line is the time it took the train to go from the in-between station to the next city ( in hours)
The rest is just solve for v
(v obviously cant be negative)
@autumn edge Has your question been resolved?
Thanks, I will try with that in mind

how much is a full rotation in radians
2pi
what can you say about your unknown angle in relation to a full rotation, 2pi
Idk
Wow
can you kindly observe that it is one sixth pi short of a full rotation of two pi?
@fathom basin Has your question been resolved?
Isn't the answer b?
@fathom basin Has your question been resolved?

Can someone check my work here?
yes
Hi, very cool person
Using desmos kinda beats the purpose of doing a rough sketch
what work
Ok brother/sister
Bro drew after using Desmos 
the point of this exercise is to try and draw it without using a graphing calculator 😭
Peak btw, bro got Desmos help
I am allowed to use a graphing calculator
Not Desmos 
cg50 i'm guessing?
maybe
try to find the horizontal vertical and oblique asymptotes
no need if desmos can do it for you 
is it +-2?
wait
Thats Vertical
cg50 is pratically desmos with more functions so eh 
y=3
For full cred, all I need to do is draw whhat I wrote
- Vertical: (x = -2,; x = 2)
- Horizontal: (y = 3)
- Oblique: None
and this
btw I'd be careful drawing it like this since it's not meant to be L-shaped
Correct
But I guess you need to show the calculations as well.
Hence limits, domain and sign of the function, and its intersections with x and y axis
wdym?
supposed to be curved?
like this?
Yeah like that
Of course, otherwise it would be a first degree polynomial (a.k.a. a line)
y=\frac{3x^2-8}{x^2-4}
Vertical asymptotes:
(x^2-4=0 \Rightarrow (x-2)(x+2)=0 \Rightarrow \mathbf{x=-2,,2})
Horizontal asymptote:
Same degree → ratio of leading coefficients
(\frac{3}{1}= \mathbf{3} \Rightarrow \mathbf{y=3})
Oblique asymptote:
Degrees equal (not top = bottom + 1) → (\mathbf{\text{none}})
Desmos does help you in this

can someone summarize step by step on how to do square roots?
ex.
square root of 1600
write them as product of prime factors
im kind of slow.. can u explain
its u again
notice that 1600 = 16 * 100
so you can take square roots of those 2 numbers instead and multiply back together
you could write 40 as 2×2×2×5
notice that all the number that I used, to express 40 as multiple of other numbers, are Prime ( only 2 and 5 )
So like just chopping them down?
yeah
bingo

How does this become this?
I don't think im supposed to multiply (1-i) 7 times to find out but i don't see how else could i conclude that
maybe convert into exponential form
(1-i)^7 you can use z^n = |z|^n (cos(ntheta)+isin(ntheta))

hi, with my online teacher i'm doing "calculus". derivative.
and we're using the "principle" of "rate of change" (sorry i'm not english native, so maybe our vocabulary may vary, it's basically saying that f(x + h) -f(x) on h)
and he assigned me the exercice of trying to find the derivative of f(x) = x^1/2.
but i'm kinda stuck. so obviously i asked chatgpt and he told me to use something called "Conjugate (square roots)"
do you know the power rule?
yes?
apply that then
by power do you mean a^n
also chatgpt telling you to use conjugate is funny 
yeah that one
😭
but yeah another thing, using Ai for maths tends to be false/unhelpful info
as you've seen
oh
so i don't know what to do
you're doing it by first principles?
$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$
MxRgd
this
you don't include the lim part?
boi
or else what you're working with isn't a derivative
i'm solving it but without include f'(x) = limh->0
How can you though
i'll show you
anyways yeah since you're doing it by first principles. Using conjugate would give you $$f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \frac{\sqrt{x+h} - \sqrt{x}}{h} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{x+h} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+h} + \sqrt{x}} \right)$$
MxRgd
Okay but you need to include the lim part ;-;
bro
Okay what is h then
just forget about that part i'm strictly talking about the solving part
it's the infinitly small between 2 points. (i think)
this part here basically doesn't make sense without it
it's not relevent to purely solving
it is relevant because it doesn't make sense if you didn't include it
-# well technically adding a "as x->0" would solve it
i'm not actually here to argue about syntax
i'm here to solve the problem i came with...
Okay suit yourself then, but you might get deducted marks for it if you didn't
finding the derivative of f(x)= x^1/2
bro i'm learning for myself
it's just for fun
yes. anyway
Yeah so here you would times it by the conjugate
It's basically a pair of binomials with the same terms but opposite signs in the middle, like a+b and a−b
so basically from here the conjugate of $\sqrt{x+h} - \sqrt{x}$ is $\sqrt{x+h} + \sqrt{x}$
MxRgd
ok boi
ye but why can we do that
that's how a conjugate is defined
from here
so it's an axiome?
Not really? it's just useful sometimes to consider the conjugate of something
for example complex numbers
bro, i don't think you understand what i'm asking
If you have the root of a polynomial that is a complex number, then it's conjugate is also a root too
this is an example where it can be used
No I do, though your question doesn't really make sense
ok. thanks then
it's just algebra
if we have an expression a+b then a-b is called conjugate that's all, a definition
so is it something we accept as true.
like for exemple a(b+c) = ab + ac
You don't treat a definition the same way as a theorem
A definition can be useful or not useful
what's the objective of conjugate?
eliminating square roots in the denominator ?
that's not an axiom nor definition, that's a property that can be derived from the definition of sum and definition of product
that's what i wanted (to "hear")
multiplying and dividing by the same number is the same as multiplying by 1, so the same as doing nothing.
However, it can help obtain an equivalent thing that you can compute instead of one you cant
like why can we create out of thin air (a+b^1/2) x (a - b^1/2)
is there are rule or somethingh
we dont create anything out of thin air
it's useful for rationalizing denominators, simplifying complex number, etc
It depends
you cant remove things just because either
let's say you have x
you can multiply x by y/y
since y/y=1, that product is still x
so you'd get xy/y
but it might be more useful to have xy/y
you do that all the time when adding fractions, for example
you might have 4, but it might be more useful to have 12/3 instead

The max, min equality makes complete sense but I am having trouble writing down its proof
like if x is in S, then x is in S1 or S2
if x is not in S1 then it is in S2 and f_S(x) = f_S2(x), f_S1(x) = 0
Oh right let me give you the notation for f_S
how do you logically discuss max
probably through contradicition
but hm let me see if I can approach it directly
if x is not in S1 then it is in S2 and f_S(x) = f_S2(x), f_S1(x) = 0
if x is not in S2 then it is in S1 and f_S(x) = f_S1(x), f_S2(x) = 0,
S1 and S2 completes S and so f_S(x) for x in S, (not sure how to transition this to max equality)
mm I see
I need to parition over Q and show in every case f_S(x) = max{f_S1(X), f_S2(X)}

I dont understand how to solve it
Maybe the one that has the same distance from top to bottom is the f’ because it has no C
what do you know about f'(x) from f(x)
i trick i use is i just know this \
there's a horizontal tan line right
honestly just look at the horizontal tangent line, look at regions or decreasing, then look at regions of increasing. then just see what lines up
because you should know if a function is decreasing, then its derivative MUST be negative...
if a function is increasing, its derivative MUST be positive...
and if a function has no change or a horizontal tangent line at a point, then its derivative MUST be 0...
