livid hound
#

what have you tried?

wraith daggerBOT
#

Cringelord

#

Cringelord

#

Cringelord

livid hound
#

try combining them into a single fraction

#

the term on the right can also be simplified

wraith daggerBOT
#

Cringelord

austere merlin
#

put on the same denominator and factor cos

#

multiply cos by cos^2

#

to get cos^3

wraith daggerBOT
#

Cringelord

austere merlin
#

yes

#

now factor a cos(x), you should get a familiar identity

wraith daggerBOT
#

Cringelord

austere merlin
#

which simplifies to $\frac{cos(x)(cos^2(x)+sin^2(x))}{cos^2(x)}$

wraith daggerBOT
austere merlin
#

do u know what cos^2 +sin^2 is

#

yes

#

so you can simplify that

#

yes

#

you factor cos(x) like you would factor x^2+x = x(x+1)

eternal hedge
#

Hello guys! How can I show that the following limit exists:

wraith daggerBOT
#

HeyMilkshake

eternal hedge
#

by using the formal Limit definition:

wraith daggerBOT
#

HeyMilkshake

eternal hedge
#

By evaluating the limit across some directions, anmely y=x, x=y, y=mx, x=y^2 and y=x^2 I have the candidate L=2

#

so I plugged everything in the definition and ended up with:

wraith daggerBOT
#

HeyMilkshake

eternal hedge
#

now, How can I construct inequalities such that I can prove that:

wraith daggerBOT
#

HeyMilkshake

austere merlin
#

you might want to go into polar coordinates

eternal hedge
#

I have to use the definition for this one.

#

Not an option to use any other path

hasty pelican
#

I would look into rationalization here

eternal hedge
#

so, maybe multiply the left side by the conjugate to simplify?

#

maybe that leads to somethign easier to prove?

#

How didn't I remember that. lol

hasty pelican
#

$$\frac{x^2 + y^2}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + 1} - 1}$$
$$ = \frac{(x^2 + y^2)(\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + 1} + 1)}{x^2 + y^2 + 1 - 1}$$
$$= \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + 1} + 1$$

eternal hedge

#

Rationalizing just refreshes in my brain since I frequently use it

eternal hedge

Happy to provide you with a refresher. I think that I can handle it form here

#

many thanks!!!

upper basalt
#

Can I get some help?

cedar kilnBOT
fallen solar
upper basalt
#

wdym?

#

I am confused

fallen solar
#

hint: the starting value of f(x) (in this context) occurs when x = 0

upper basalt
#

still dont know

#

Im lost

fallen solar
#

do you know what (0, 2000) represents?

#

if the graph of a function f(x) passes through a point (a, b), then b = f(a)

upper basalt
#

No

fallen solar
#

damn

upper basalt
#

I got the line though

#

f(x) = 2000 * exp( (-ln100)*x/2)

#

inst that right?

fallen solar
#

wha-

#

why'd you write it like that though

#

and how did you even find that

violet rapids
#

well k is right

upper basalt
#

oh shit wrong

#

nvm

#

I did it wrong

violet rapids
#

so you should have $f(x) = 2000b^x$

wraith daggerBOT
upper basalt
#

but idk the base

violet rapids
#

you have another ordered pair

#

(2, 20)

upper basalt
#

20?

#

2?

#

what is the base

fallen solar
#

but

#

you have written it in the wrong form

#

idk why did you even write it in that form

upper basalt
#

but k still is 2000

upper basalt
fallen solar
#

do you know what it means for a function to pass through a point?

fallen solar
upper basalt
#

wait

#

f(x) = C * exp(kX)

violet rapids
#

post your work ^^

upper basalt
#

f(0) = 2000 ---> C = 2000

#

thats what I am doing

#

So now f(x) = 2000*exp(kx)

#

f(2) = 20

#

20 = 2000*exp(2k)

#

1/100 = exp(2k)

#

ln(1/100) = 2k

#

ln1 - ln 100 = 2k

#

k = (ln 1 - ln 100)/2

#

= (-ln 100)/2

#

f(x) = 2000 * exp( (-ln100)*x/2)

#

@violet rapids

#

@fallen solar

#

I need help finding the base

fallen solar
upper basalt
#

still need help though

#

idk the ase

fallen solar
#

exp() function is just another way of representing e^x
and instead of that, do b^x for some base b

fallen solar
upper basalt
#

and I need help

#

you have any idea how hard it was just to find the first answer?

fallen solar
#

uhhhhhhh

#

wat

upper basalt
#

exactly, uhhhh

#

dude

fallen solar
#

do you understand why f(0) = 2000 and f(2) = 20?

upper basalt
#

20 is the base?

violet rapids
#

no

upper basalt
fallen solar
#

how did you use that in your solution then

upper basalt
#

20 = kb^2
20 = 2000b^2

#

@fallen solar

#

b=0.1?

fallen solar
#

yes

upper basalt
#

a better solution is 2000(1/10)^x

#

really

#

b is 0.1?

violet rapids
#

bro stop guessing

#

and try to think

upper basalt
#

20 = 2000b^2 is 0.1, -0.1

#

@violet rapids

#

1/10

u should help lol

south dove

I can help, but I thought this was a math discord?

cedar kilnBOT
#

@grizzled rivet Has your question been resolved?

grizzled rivet
#

i forgto about tht ol

eternal comet
#

I've seen physics problems here, engineering problems

#

But not biology before

#

damn

#

Also, it has to do with the definition of species

#

not even that. Thought it was one of those questions

south dove
#

the question asks the utility of genetics for classification, tricky

eternal comet
#

I mean here it is a reductio ad absurdum

south dove
#

I could only eliminate the 1st answer really, the rest could be correct

#

I'd be mad if I got a question like this

grizzled rivet
#

@south dove

#

i need help with this one

#

now

south dove
#

not sure

shy oriole
#

<@&268886789983436800>

grizzled rivet
#

bruh

trim sentinel
#

This is not math

grizzled rivet
#

why u have to be a snitch

#

..

south dove
#

mathematically if you count there are 5 mutations

grizzled rivet
#

exactly

#

and u have to COUNT the differences

#

so it has math

#

add me in case i get banned lol

south dove
#

that should help, but the rest is theory, can't really help with that

gleaming pasture
#

@grizzled rivet Please go to any number of biology or general homework help servers instead of asking it here

#

You're more likely to receive help and you wont be cluttering up the help channels that way

Basically:

  1. Plug in x = -2 into h(x) = ax^2 + 1

  2. Replace h(x) = h(-2) with 21.

#

You can then solve algebraically for a

glad kestrel

why'd you replace x with 2 and slap a negative in front of a

bold vine

Remember:

Example: If t = -4: t^2 = (-4)^2 = (-4)(-4) = 16 ≠ -t^2 = -(-4)^2 = -(-4)(-4) = -16

gentle ore
#

how do u do this

cedar kilnBOT
gentle ore
#

<@&286206848099549185>

upper abyss
#

What's the slope of x + 2y = 0?

gentle ore
#

1/-2

upper abyss
#

Very nice. Now for the tougher question, when does that curve have slope -1/2?

#

That is, for what values of x does dy/dx = -1/2

gentle ore
#

uhhhhh

#

im not sure i understand

upper abyss
#

I'll back up a bit. Can you calculate dy/dx of that curve?

gentle ore
#

ye gimme one sec

#

ok so dy/dx = -1/2y

upper abyss
#

Very nice! So note that you care about when dy/dx = -1/2

#

As that would be the same slope as the line

#

So you care about -1/2 = -1/2y

gentle ore
#

ahh ok i got to this step when i was going over the question and then didnt know what to do after

#

cuz i isolated for y and got y = -1/4 but i have no clue what to do w the value

upper abyss
#

So I thought you meant dy/dx = -1/(2y) as that would be correct

#

Then the solution to -1/2 = -1/(2y) is y = 1

#

So the point that we are looking for has a y-value of 1! We are just missing the x-value

gentle ore
#

OHHH

#

yk what i did

#

i thought the question was asking for perpendicular so i subbed in 2 instead of -1/2

#

and then got y=1/-4

upper abyss
#

Kek yeah that makes sense

gentle ore
#

lol ok so w the y-value, do u just sub it into the original curve to get x?

#

o ok i have figured out the answer

#

tysm!

How do u prove it i am confused😕

I’d assume it’s vectors

warped wave

The lesson is related to forces

warped wave
sweet vapor
#

Unfortunately, I’m doing vectors next chapter. So I can’t help

#

Sorry bro

#

There are smart people here tho, so don’t lose hope, someone will help

warped wave
#

Well i hope so

#

I just need the answer rn😉😉

#

It wasn't in online website

sweet vapor
warped wave
#

😑

sweet vapor
#

What have u tried so far?

warped wave
#

Ok i will try that

sweet vapor
#

Actually, let me try doing it

#

U can also use the website cause I’m prob gonna be wrong

#

Depends on the country

#

We study vectors in yr 11 advanced math or year 11 physics

#

Idk about the USA, I don’t live there

#

Yea

#

No

#

I’m in 10th as of now

But I’m doing yr 11 content

#

I was trying to solve problem 11 but had issues on solving for the transient solution

#

The steady periodic (or particular) is correct according to the answer key, but the transient is wrong

#

Im sure the solution for y is correcg because i checked it online. So now when im solving for y_c my values for C1 and C2 are incorrect

#

Differential equations is such a pain dude i hate this class

oh you know what

my bad

so uhh, $x(t) = e^{-2t}(c_1 \cos t + c_2 \sin t)$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

and the particular soln. would be catThink

bitter nymph
#

this is the correct problem but my work was on a diff sheet and yeah i also got that for the general solution. the particular would be -(1/4)cos3t + (3/4)sin3t

#

converting that to amplitude angle form and get y_p = 0.7905cos(3t - 1.8925)

#

which matches the solution in the book

fallen heath
#

lmao

#

then what is the issue?

bitter nymph

yeah the steady periodic solution is fine but i am having difficulty with transient

solving for C1 and C2

$$x(t) = e^{-2t}(c_1 \cos t + c_2 \sin t) + \frac{1}{4}(3\sin 3t - \cos 3t)$$

wraith daggerBOT
fallen heath
#

Now you can go ahead and solve

#

:|

bitter nymph
#

oh

fallen heath
#

bruh

#

did you just plug the values into the transient solutions?

#

lmfao

bitter nymph
#

lol yeah ill try maybe i can solve

fallen heath
#

the values are given for the complete solutions of x(t)

bitter nymph
#

oh

fallen heath
#

x(0) = 0 => c_1 - 1/4 = 0
x'(0) = 0 => c_2 -2(c_1) + 9/4 = 0

#

And you get your values for c_1 and c_2

#

enjoy

bitter nymph
#

yeah that gives the correct values for c1 and c2

#

and now the solution is the same as the one in the book

#

thanks ansh

Just if I say angle how to find coordinate

#

Yea u right ig

#

But u made a typo

#

Or something u wrote three components

hello good morning or good afternoon I have a question : Why is the terminal side in trigonometry inside the unit circle always positive

fair plover
#

$sine = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$
$cosine = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$
$tangent = \frac{y}{x}$
in quadrant I, x and y coordinates are both positive, therefore sine, cosine and tangent will always be positive in quadrant I

wraith daggerBOT
#

exploseph

carmine pilot
#

since r^2=x^2+y^2 so r=±sqrt(x^2+y^2) why r need to be positive

#

let r be the terminal side

#

x be x corr y be ycoor

#

okay nevermind 😄

  1. Find the inverse of f
  2. Find dom(f^(-1))
opaque gull
#

i'm not sure how to do that

patent flame
#

I mean this is probably not the fastest method nor would it be worth one mark, but you can find the domain of the inverse function, because the range of the original function is the domain of the inverse and vice versa

opaque gull
#

uhh sure lemme try

wraith daggerBOT
solemn torrent
#

In other words

wraith daggerBOT
opaque gull
#

i dont know the domain either

solemn torrent
#

Wdym

opaque gull
#

ok wait let me backtrack

solemn torrent
#

The domain of...?

opaque gull
#

right now the first step is to find the inverse of f

#

im stuck on that

solemn torrent
#

Ye

solemn torrent
#

Okay well

#

In simple terms

opaque gull
#

they do but im struggling to apply them algebraically

solemn torrent
#

replace the variables x for y

#

Then solve for y

opaque gull
solemn torrent
#

ok now subtract -6x from both sides

#

Okay your objective is to get the variable you're solving for on the same side

#

either the RHS or LHS

#

then factor that variable

#

because you'll have the same variable in same expression on either side

opaque gull
#

alright give me a sec

solemn torrent
#

alright if i'm not responsive let the other dude take over cause atm i'm cooking

opaque gull
#

ok

solemn torrent
#

ye that's alright

#

but

#

why'd you subtract -6x?

#

all you had to do then was divide 3x+2

opaque gull
#

yea that was a mistake

#

sending another screenshot now

solemn torrent
#

So now you have y=(1-6x)/(3x+2)

#

ye

#

that looks good

#

wait

#

no

#

how'd you manage to simplify that

opaque gull
#

divided the 6x by 3x

#

?

#

wait that doesnt make sense

solemn torrent
#

I mean well certainly you could divide

#

but not like that

#

if that term is undergoing addition or subtraction you can't cancel them out or anything

opaque gull
#

alright yea so just leave it in that form of 6x and 3x

solemn torrent
#

Ye

opaque gull
#

now to find the domain of that function...

solemn torrent
#

Although if you applied polynomial long division

#

you could get

wraith daggerBOT
solemn torrent
#

But we'll leave it as a single fraction

solemn torrent
opaque gull
#

how do i go about doing that>

#

?*

solemn torrent
#

Well look at the form you've gotten

#

It's a fraction

#

just recall your indeterminate forms

opaque gull
#

ah so domain could be any real number as long as the denominator isn't 0

#

?

solemn torrent
#

ye

wraith daggerBOT
solemn torrent
#

And when it comes to radicands it can't be negative

opaque gull
#

yea

#

so the domain would be x E r, x=/ -2/3

solemn torrent
#

nice

#

how does this work

wraith daggerBOT
solemn torrent
#

there

opaque gull
#

thanks a ton for the help man

solemn torrent
#

binary operation E?

opaque gull
#

x belongs to R

solemn torrent
#

oh right of course

#

R being the real field ye?

opaque gull
#

yes

solemn torrent
#

ok

#

Also x != -2/3

#

!= denoting not equal to over text

opaque gull
#

is that the official way of doing the does not equal to?

solemn torrent
#

I suppose so

#

I assume that's what you meant with =/

opaque gull
#

$x /neq -2/3$

solemn torrent
#

!= is taken from computer science

#

meaning not equal to

#

\neq in latex

#

Use \neq

#

x\neq-\frac23

wraith daggerBOT
#

taemed

solemn torrent
#

which would be beneficially when doing maths

opaque gull
#

sure

solemn torrent
#

or anything really, music, natural sciences, etc

wraith daggerBOT
opaque gull
#

idk what latex is

patent flame
#

$f(x) \neq -\frac {2}{3}$, $f(x) \in \mathbb{R}$ since it's the range you also have to go back to including f(x)

solemn torrent
#

I could explain the basics rn

wraith daggerBOT
#

I can't believe you've done this

solemn torrent
#

But ye

#

ok i'm feeling nauseous af

#

brb

opaque gull
#

interesting

#

thanks a lot

solemn torrent
#

So you yeah may express your range using inequalities or interval notation

#

i prefer using interval notation

#

Thus

wraith daggerBOT
solemn torrent
#

For a function f:X->Y with domain X we denote the range of f using ran(f) or Range(f). This may also be used to denote the codomain (set of destination/target set) Y.

#

But of course in our context we're using it to denote the image set of our function

Hint: Complete the Square

opaque gull
#

ah dammit

#

i forgot how to do that

#

what is the advantage of completing the square versus other methods of solving the equation

dense wing
#

Wdym

#

Nowhere does it say solve

opaque gull
#

ok yes that is true

dense wing
#

The advantage of my hint will be obvious when you apply it

opaque gull
#

i think i should brush up on how to complete a square then

#

brb

south dove
#

you factored p(x)
f(x) g(x) h(x) are factors of p(x)

opaque gull
#

i dont understand what you're getting at

south dove
#

the question is asking you to find functions f g h

#

p(x) = fgh(x)

opaque gull
#

ok...

#

feel like there's an obvious connection im missingf

#

but i can't think of anything

south dove
#

fgh(x) = f(x)* g(x) *h(x) =p(x) = (x + 2)^2 -15

opaque gull
#

ok now how do i figure out what each function is

south dove
#

find 3 functions that multiply together to equal
p(x) = (x+2)^2 -15

opaque gull
#

but they dont multiply they get composited

#

i have to find functions that you can plug into each other to get that

#

i have the answers so don't worry about giving it away

#

i just want someone to explain what's the process behind it

south dove
#

if it were composite it would be f(g(h(x)))

opaque gull
#

ohhhhh

#

ok hold on

jaunty mural
#

wait f g h are multiplied together?

opaque gull
#

nope... still blank 😭

#

here are the answers

jaunty mural
#

I interpreted f(g(h(x)))
which one is it

#

I'm confused wut

#

So it is composing

south dove
#

must syntax error then in the original question, but makes sense

jaunty mural
#

So yes, Mosh' suggestion works

#

complte the square

#

Then can you see how the answer works?

opaque gull
#

i cannot

jaunty mural
#

f(g(h(x))) = f(g(x+2)) = ...?

#

Do you not know how to compose functions

opaque gull
#

i do

jaunty mural
south dove
#

9 permutations, learn by trial and error

jaunty mural
#

So read this thing as a set of instructions

#

'Take x'

#

'Add 2'

#

'Square it'

opaque gull
#

but the logic of figuring out what functions compose into that is hard to comprehend

jaunty mural
#

'subtract 15'

#

And there you have your 3 functions

south dove
#

actually 6 permuations
given the answer given

opaque gull
#

oh my god

#

yes

#

that makes sense

#

thank you

jaunty mural
#

Well I have to say

#

I find this question a bit strange

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

f(x) = x+1
g(x) = x-1
h(x) = x^2 + 4x - 11

#

Surely this works

#

And yet the mark scheme is very specific

opaque gull
#

i think it's more geared towards testing the critical thinking that you described above

jaunty mural
#

Well I never would've thought to complete the square

#

without ^ hint lmao

jaunty mural
south dove
opaque gull
#

average IB question devastation

#

anyway thanks guys

opaque gull
#

dont know where to start

gray ice
#

What formulas do you know that are related to quadratics?

#

Write them all down

#

See if any are helpful

opaque gull
#

completing the square
factorization
quadratic formula

gray ice
#

Any others?

jaunty mural
#

what is completing the square used for

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

What's the point of doing this though

#

$$f(x) = ax^2+bx+c$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

$$f(x) = a(x-p)^2+q$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

What's the point of this process?

opaque gull
#

i don't know

jaunty mural
#

$(x-p)^2$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

Can you tell me anything about this

#

x is a variable

#

p is a constant

opaque gull
#

yes...

#

it can square rooted

#

not sure what else there is to say

jaunty mural
#

uh no...

#

If I have a square number

#

the square of something

#

what must this always satisfy?

#

$k^2$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

No matter what k is?

opaque gull
#

im stumped

jaunty mural
#

hmmm

gray ice
#

What is a negative times a negative

jaunty mural
#

Let me plot a graph

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

You can say something about all the y-values here

dire geode
#

just take a derivative

opaque gull
#

they go infinity but the min is 0

jaunty mural
#

The min is 0

#

$k^2 \geq 0$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

Does this make sense now?

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

No matter what k is

#

this expression is always greater/equal to 0

opaque gull
#

ah ok

dire geode
#

Yea I figured. Shuri's giving great hints

jaunty mural
#

so lets backtrack

#

x is a variable

#

p is a constant

#

but its still something squared

#

It must be non-negative

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

So does this tell us something here 🤔

#

If you want, you can work with inequalities
$$(x-p)^2 \geq 0$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

opaque gull
#

so bracket must be positive

jaunty mural
#

right. (or 0)

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

what about a times it

#

a bit of a tricky question but maybe u can figure it out

#

A hint is there is no fixed answer --- it depends on something

opaque gull
#

well x is a variable

#

so obviously that'll affect the value of a?

jaunty mural
#

a p q

opaque gull
#

is that what you're getting out

jaunty mural
#

are all constants

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

You told me (x-p)^2 >= 0

#

Now I want to know about a(x-p)^2

opaque gull
#

a could be a negative

jaunty mural
#

right, if a is negative

#

what happens

opaque gull
#

the signs inside the parentheses switch

jaunty mural
#

no...

opaque gull
#

it comes negative

jaunty mural
#

uh

#

$-2\times(-1)^2$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

opaque gull
#

is =2

jaunty mural
#

The minus outside doesn't affect the sign inside the parenthesis

opaque gull
#

-2

#

ah..

jaunty mural
#

(the sign inside goes away because square)

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

So the squared term is always 0 or positive

#

If you multiply by something negative ... ?

opaque gull
#

it becomes negative

jaunty mural
#

(or 0)

#

what if you multiply by something positive?

opaque gull
#

it stays positive or 0

jaunty mural
#

exactly

#

so

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

And then we are one more step from saying something about f(x)

#

f(x) is the left side add q

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

Does this make sense?

opaque gull
#

somewhat yes

jaunty mural
#

So the point of vertex form is to find the maximum and minimum of a quadratic

#

(also known as the extremum)

#

The last thing to check is when the maximum/minimum happens

#

If you reverse the steps

#

You should see f(x) = q (the minimum or maximum)

#

When this original squared term is 0

opaque gull
#

yea im lost

jaunty mural
#

👌 which bit

jaunty mural
#

I claim q is the minimum if a > 0

#

the maximum if a < 0

dire geode
jaunty mural
#

$$g(x) = (x-1)^2+2$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

dire geode
#

It's the equivalent of parabolas opening up or down

jaunty mural
#

We have 'something positive or 0' plus 2

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

The smallest g(x) can be

opaque gull
#

2

jaunty mural
#

is when the 'something positive or 0' equals 0

#

If the square equals 0

#

we have x-1 = 0

#

So I can immediately tell from vertex form

(1, 2) is the minimum in this case (since the coefficient of x^2, a = 1, the quadratic is a u-shape)

opaque gull
#

yep

opaque gull
jaunty mural
#

👌

jaunty mural
#

for x?

#

x = -1

#

gets me
(-1 -1)^2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

#

I want the bracket to be 0. So I solve x - 1 = 0

opaque gull
#

ah so it must be positive one

#

okay

jaunty mural
#

$$h(x) = -2(x+4)^2+5$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

So quickly try this to make sure you got it

#

Find the coordinates of the extremum of h(x)

#

and determine if it is a minimum or maximum

opaque gull
#

minimum is -4, 5?

jaunty mural
#

yes

#

no

#

(-4, 5)

#

not a minimum

#

(x+4)^2 is always non-negative
So -2(x+4)^2 is always non-positive

opaque gull
#

maximum since its opening downwards?

jaunty mural
#

yes

#

If (x+4)^2 isn't 0

#

you are adding something negative to 5

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

You can play around with the slider and check examples with something like this

opaque gull
#

oh ok thanks

#

yea it helps seeing it visually

jaunty mural
#

So to begin the question, you should be able to deduce something from the 2nd sentence using vertex form

opaque gull
#

so the graph is upwards opening and the minimum point is at (-1.5, ?)

jaunty mural
#

yep

#

you already knew its facing upwards

opaque gull
#

yea

jaunty mural
#

Standard form
$$f(x) = ax^2+bx+c$$
Vertex form
$$f(x) = a(x-p)^2+q$$
Factored form
$$f(x) = a(x-r)(x-s)$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟎

jaunty mural
#

^ these are the forms you need to know in general (the letters other than x are constants)

opaque gull
#

alright

#

i thought the question was referring to plugging -1.5 into the x of the equation

#

so that threw me off

#

but it seems like i was supposed to convert it to vertex form for it to make sense

jaunty mural
#

Also remember the x-coord of the minimum/maximum is always exactly halfway between the x-coord of the roots (if they exist).

opaque gull
#

yea

#

AH

#

GOT IT

#

YES SO HALF THE 9

#

IS 4.5

#

and when added to x demonstrates that roots are at 3 and -6

jaunty mural
#

Oh I just noticed you don't need vertex form then lel

#

But it definitely is helpful for a good number of Q's

opaque gull
#

ok so now question b

#

should be intuitive

#

since we know all the values

#

q is -1.5

#

but idkt he r

jaunty mural
#

Notice all these 3 forms must be equal

#

You can convert either of the bottom ones to standard form and equate coefficients

opaque gull
#

equate coefficients?

jaunty mural

If I tell you these 2 are the same quadratic

#

then

opaque gull

wait

i don't think i've taken this yet

I chose a bit of an extreme example

jaunty mural
#

If these two are the same quadratic

#

we need a = 3, b = -5, c = 2

#

Otherwise they will be different

opaque gull
#

yes

jaunty mural
#

x is a variable, the rest are constants

#

And finally the same applies here

#

If you multiply out the vertex or factored form

opaque gull
#

yes each one has three constants that correspond to a b and c

Hi

cedar kilnBOT
gusty lotus
#

im only doing the odd ones but im not sure about 1 and 3

#

how would I find when the tangent line is horizontal

hollow osprey
#

well what does it mean for a tangent to be horizontal

#

what slope does a horizontal line have

gusty lotus
#

0

hollow osprey
#

correct

#

so set dy/dx = 0

gusty lotus
#

what's dy/dx

jaunty mural
#

f'(x)

hollow osprey
#

are you in calculus

gusty lotus
#

yes

hollow osprey
#

or precalculus?

gusty lotus
#

calc

hollow osprey
#

what

gusty lotus
#

so I find the derivative of f(x)

hollow osprey
#

yes

#

and set it equal to 0

gusty lotus
#

and set it = 0

hollow osprey
#

cuz we wanted the slope of the tangent line to be horizontal (0)

gusty lotus
#

then solve ?

hollow osprey
#

yes

gusty lotus
#

oh and then those should be the answers?

jaunty mural
#

Do you understand what f'(x) represents

gusty lotus
#

yes

jaunty mural
gusty lotus
#

derivative

#

of f(x)

jaunty mural
#

no not just that

gusty lotus
#

oh

jaunty mural
#

f'(a) represents the derivative of f(x) at x = a

gusty lotus
#

oh yea

jaunty mural
#

Geometrically, it also represents the slope of the tangent at x = a (or you can say at the point (a, f(a)) )

gusty lotus
#

at a certain point (a)

#

yea

#

oh shoot sorry I gotta go. Thank you for the help guys

mint coyote
#

Hello, I have no idea how they went from the first one to second one, could anyone help explain to me what did they do here? Thanks in advance!

safe abyss
#

Are you familiar with
root(x) = x^(1/2)
3rd root(x) = x^(1/3) ?

mint coyote
#

yeah!

#

but im having trouble with

#

x^1/2 - 1/3

#

why did they do that

safe abyss
#

you can break out 1/x^(1/3)

#

and that is equal to x^(-1/3)

#

(it's generally true that a^(-1) = 1/a)

#

does that make sense? i'll explain the rest, just making sure you're following so far

mint coyote
#

yeah i understand so far

#

like 16/x^2 = 16x^-2 right?

safe abyss
#

yep yep

#

so then we get x^(-1/3)*(x^(1/2)-2)

#

let me format it better so you can see it easier 1 sec

mint coyote
#

okay!

safe abyss
#

,, x^{-1/3}(x^{1/2}-2)

wraith daggerBOT
#

PixzleOne

safe abyss
#

does that make sense too?

mint coyote
#

yeah

#

you multiply to get rid of the denominator right?

safe abyss
#

,, \frac{x^{1/2}-2}{x^{1/3}} = x^{-1/3}(x^{1/2}-2)

wraith daggerBOT
#

PixzleOne

mint coyote
#

👍

safe abyss
#

then just multiply and get

#

,, x^{1/2}\cdot x^{-1/3} - 2x^{-1/3}

wraith daggerBOT
#

PixzleOne

safe abyss
#

which is equal to

#

,, x^{1/2-1/3} - 2x^{-1/3}

wraith daggerBOT
#

PixzleOne

mint coyote
#

thanks for breaking it down for me!

#

I appreciated it

safe abyss
#

was that last step confusing? or was it just the whole thing :)

#

no problem though

mint coyote
#

Nope!

#

Tysm!

safe abyss
#

no worries! good luck have fun :)

So the objective was to find p and q

#

Constants

#

Did I do it correctly?

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

could Q posibly be 9 actully if I messed up my -/+ signs?

cedar kilnBOT
#

@azure magnet Has your question been resolved?

modern compass
#

your signs are definitely messed up

#

$10\cosh(x)-8\sinh(x) = 10[\frac12(e^x+e^{-x})] - 8[\frac12(e^x-e^{-x})]$
