ok, that one you have to use identity
Here's a hard trigonometric equation for students who are taking trig or precalculus. We will solve cos(2theta)+6sin^2(theta)=4 (i.e. solve cos(2x)+6sin^2(x)=4) on the interval 0 to 2pi. How do we get all the solutions of a trig equation? This math tutorial will help you be good at solving trig equations!

In an integral such as integral of 1/sqrtx dx where you use a substitution x=u^2, what happens when you replace the u’s with x’s if there is a singular u term?
For example if the answer is 5u, then solving for u, we get u=+-sqrtx
Do we take the positive or negative
Actually here, the domain for x would be positive so it’s positive, but would there be a case when the domain isn’t an issue and there is a choice of plus and minus?

i know we need to use spherical coordinates and ive found that rho limits are 3 to 0 and the theta limits are 0 to 2 pi
not sure about the phi limits tho
i drew a cross section out and have trouble determining the shaded region
@whole nacelle Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
@whole nacelle Has your question been resolved?
anyone please
The shaded region would be the part of sphere bounded by x^2+y^2=z^2 because everything that is inside x^2+y^2=z^2 will also be bounded by x^2+y^2=3z^2
so i assume its the innermost cone?
Yea
then what would the phi limits be?
The maximum angle it can make with z axis is 45 degree
still need help pls ping me

So I am looking at example of telescoping an recurrence relation. And I am wondering how do they the two last lines from?
So why are we plugging values in telescoping?
ohhh, but is the point of telescoping not to show from n-2 to the nth term and then cancel?
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
The point of telescoping is to apply a recurrence relation multiple times to find T(N) in simpler terms. In this problem, you can find that T(N) = T(1) + 2c(N-1)
I see where does N=4 come into play by applying this reccurence multiple times'?

how do i differentiate this?
By chain rule
linearity and power rule
idk how to diffentere the 1/3
u dont
?
1/3 is just a constant being multiplied
you can consider constant multiply rule
no
(C * f(x))´ = C * f'(x)
yes
indeed
c is 1/3 right?
yeah
f(x)is -3

what should be my strat here
Try replacing x first
basically writing tan as sin/cos and go from there
Answer is -1?
idk how to go from there :(
oh
nvm
no
Pure
yes
💀
,, 1\cdot\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(5^x -1)}{\sin{(1-3^x)}}
Pure
Like i did
second limit use lhopital 
bruh okay let me go eat dinner first and ill come back
lmao okay np
@boreal leaf maybe he can help
okay
Apply loptial
Don't forget chain rule
u can do dis without lhopital i think but ill be back
Oh shit
i just want to know how to do this without
i am quite bad with limits at the moment
am i allowed to use the sinx/x limit here?
i think so
and then
the limit would go to 1
leaving with 5^x-1/1-3^x?
is that how it works lol
How did you get the x tho
what x
For sinx/x
oke ill type this rq
i dont know if it works that way i just guessed
,, \text{rewrite this as} \ \frac{5^x -1}{1-3^x} \cdot \frac{1-3^x}{\sin{(1-3^x)}}
and use common limit to eval
yes that is what i did
Pure
yes


i used lhopital and got 16/3 but how to do without 🥲
thanks
@green gulch Has your question been resolved?
okay here we can use 3 standards limits namely,
\begin{alignat*}{2}
&\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan{x}}{x}& =& \ 0 \
&\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln{(1+x)}}{x}& =& \ 0 \
&\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x -1}{x}& =& \ 0
\end{alignat*}
okay
hm
Pure
sorry i was just fixxing the latex
yep
you can express each part of your limit in terms of these standard lims
see if you can see that
ah wait i just realised i mistyped all that lol
[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan{x}}{x} = 1,
]
[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln{(1+x)}}{x} = 1,
]
[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x -1}{x} = 1.
]
Pure
not 0
wow okay i was a bit confused lol
so ive gotten to
$(ln(1+16x^2))/3x^2
$(ln(1+16x^2))/3x^2$
tim
i suck at latex
is this correct
@vale furnace
i got it
thanks a lot
i should memorise the standard limits

if you're in a hurry, the least you could do while waiting is translate the problem to english lol
Show that [(1 − 2x)3 − (1 − 6x)| = x2|12 - 8x, for all x belongs to R.
can you simplify $(1 - 2x)^3 - (1 - 6x)$?
south
once you simplify that
remember that |ab| = |a| |b|
so |x^2| = x^2 as x^2 is always nonnegative
taking the absolute value of this will give you the right-hand side

forgot this stuff
so if I do bottom one, I do 5 by 2
21
10 for the bottom and 21 for other
35?
why that
where does the 3 come in?
do I do the usual multply those by the .5 (1/2*bh)
got it so the area formula for rectangle is l*w i remember now
is this right?? I tried breaking it into two objects liek yall said
it said my asnwer was wrong when I added the triangle and rectangles areas together
how??
22 isnt the height of the entire shape?
thats confusing but ill try to plug in the number
so is the rectangle is 864?
the are for it
oh mb i forgot to clear
and the the top is 48*7

How do I find the horizontal/vertical asymptote of $y=3(0.5^x)-4$
Matt
so when we want to look for asymptotes we are using a few tricks,
-
are there any values for x that makes the function undefined
example: dividing with zero, 3/(x-1) in this case if x is 1 we would have an undefined function. this usally finds the vertical -
we look what happens for extremly large and extremly small values of x. to see what actually happens to the curve.
example: y=e^x+2 we can see that for very small values of x the e^x part will dissapear leaving us with y=+2 which will be the asymptot
Hope this help

is it possible for the sum of a constructible number and an inconstructible number to be a constructible number?
rightttt okay that makes sense. is it the same idea for the product and quotient of a constructible and inconstructible number?
Do you happen to know what the case is for two inconstructible numbers? are they closed under addition, multiplication, and division provided they are distinct inconstructible numbers, or is that not even true?
wait nevermind, im dumb
of course that cant be true

How do I factor secx(sec^2 x)-secxtanx (tanx-1)
Hey
whats it w ppl just giving out answers lol
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
@haughty oxide try to guide them instead of posting the solution lol
u good, just know for future reference
Instead, ask guiding questions and help them through the problem, explain along the way where necessary if they have questions. Not the biggest deal ever 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
in the first line why it there (sec^2x -1)?
Yeah, hi. Let me walk you through it
Okay thank you
Oh lol, I made a mistake anyways
lmaooo
Okay so, that solution doesn't work. Let's try again
So the expression contains secx and tanx, so we probably need to use the identity 1+tan^2x=sec^2x
Our main objective will be to get to a point where that will help us
Alright
So firstly, how could we start the factoring? Is there anything in common?
the sec x?
Perfect. So let's factor out a secx to start
Thats where I got lost didnt know how to take it out\
Oh okay. So secx is just a term, right. When we factor it out we get something like this
secx*(sec^2x-tanx(tanx-1))
Can you see why?
No can you explain please?
Okay, so we have 2 terms, secx*(sec^2x) and secxtanx(tanx-1), correct?
yes
So since secx is in common, we're going to factor that out from both terms
What that means is we're going to remove 1 secx from each term and multiply it on the outside. Does that make sense?
Welcome!
So we have this now
Do you see anything we can do now?
factor out tan?
Hmmm. Is tan in common?
only in the latter part
but you been in the full equation?
mean*
Sorry im exhausted.
So in the full equation, can we factor out tan?
probably not?
Yeah, we can't, since tan isn't in common
Instead, maybe try something else
Sometimes, in order to factor properly, you need to distribute first
so distrube tan?
sec x(sec^2x-tan^2x+tanx)?
Was thinking a trig identities but dont think any would help at this point yet?
That's a great instinct. Actually, they're perfect to use now
Really?
Which identity can we use?
Yup!
Perfect. What do we get after that?
Thank you so much!

(x-2)/(x-2) is equivalent to 1 ONLY if x≠2
Otherwise it is undefined
That is why
And a function can’t be continuous where it isn’t defined
So there will be a hole at the point x=2
it does change the graph
yes?
so?
it just does?
why don't you think it's possible?
follows from dividing by 0 being undefined
or you could learn to define functions piecewise

im pretty sure i need to do mod 4 here, but the -7y is a bit of a problem
do mod 7
mod 7?
If there was a solution in the integers, then 7|(x^2 - 10)
(The expression is a multiple of 7)
similar to how you were doing mod 4 but mod 4 doesnt work here because x^2 = 0,1 mod 4 and 7x = 0,1,2,3 mod 4
why would you do mod 3 when mod 7 is a lot more straightforward
in fact mod 3 doesnt work
Please show your work once you have it because I am interested in seeing how this plays out 

@toxic stirrup Has your question been resolved?
@vale furnace
…
So you just went for 20+ mins
Wtevet
Just try
1^2 mod 7, 2^2 mod 7 … and see
To prove that the equation x^2 - 7y = 10 has no integer solutions, consider the equation modulo 7. If x^2 - 7y is congruent to 10 modulo 7, then x^2 is congruent to 3 modulo 7. Checking all possible residues of x^2 modulo 7 (0^2 ≡ 0, 1^2 ≡ 1, 2^2 ≡ 4, 3^2 ≡ 2, 4^2 ≡ 2, 5^2 ≡ 4, 6^2 ≡ 1), we find that none is congruent to 3. Therefore, the equation has no integer solutions, as there is no integer value of x that satisfies x^2 ≡ 3 (mod 7). This proof relies on the fact that the quadratic residues modulo 7 are 0, 1, 2, and 4, and none of them is congruent to 3 modulo 7.

How do i do this
Where are you stuck on?
derivative of f
It is
i have the ansewr but i want to know the process of getting to it
For now you can think of f’(a) as the slope of tangent to f(x) at x=a
The question told you the slope of the tangent should be -1
So you should check the slopes of all the options
The one with slope -1 is the answer
@deep crow Has your question been resolved?
Hmm I guess
just use calculator to find which value of x satisfies f’(x)=-1
i got like .934
(.934,f(.934)) is a point the tangent passes through
The tangent has the following point slope form:
y - f(.934) = -1 (x - .934)
Tangent: y = -x + (.934 + f(.934))
i got .836 now tho
also is there a way to find 6x^5 -4x^3 = 1 by hand
You probably got the wrong value
How do i find the value of x?
It should be -.934
idk about quintic
just stick to your calculator
Are quintic functions complicated
Well yes
Wait can you explain how you know this part
Im kinda confused on how you knew that that was the point the tangent passes
f’(a) is the slope of tangent to f(x) at x=a right?
yea
would this imply that the tangent pass through (a,f(a))

i have no clue where to start on this
gianky.e
Yeah thats what i figured, but wouldn’t you need a calculator from there?
now pick a random interval lets call it [a,b] and make sure with f(a) > 0 and f(b) <0 or f(a) <0 and f(b) >0. then there exists a point call it c such that f(c) = 0
so you just apply random intervals till you find something that works?
then f(a) > 0 and f(b) <0
then all u gotta say is that there exists a point c such that sin(2c) + 5 - 2^c = 0
wait so it’d be like this?
There are many intervals you can put
so you could just put any two intervals that apply and that’d be it
no matter how broad it is
yeah as long as the condition meets
honestly you can pick any interval but pick easy numbers so you wont have to use a calculator
anytime 🙂

hey
i have a question to use my line of best fit to estimate y when x = 2.5
- what's your data set?
- what's your line of best fit?
wait ill take a picture
,rccw
so simply just plug in 2.5 into your line of best fit, such an extrapolation is well within the range of your data set, no? :)
Hmmm
you have the equation for your line of best fit?
i got it dont worry
thanks
wait i got another question
if i have an equation y = 3 over 5x + 380
$y=\frac{3}{5}x+380$
PajamaMamaLlama
yeh
but how would i use that to "use ur equation to estimate the cost of construction of a house that is 300 metres squared"
$\widehat{\text{constructioncost}}=\frac{3}{5}\cdot300+380$, no? :)
PajamaMamaLlama
what does that dot mean\
multiplication
you can plug in 300 into your equation
and that tells you the estimate for the construction cost given 300 meters squared
how did u know that x would be the metres squared tho?
well that's what your equation is in terms of, right?
yea
so then yes, x is in meters squared
i still dont get it ngl
why couldnt metres squared be y?
if ur plugging it into y = mx + c
u there?
y is construction cost, x is house size in meters squared
yea but why is y construction cost and x is house size
idk how they r chosen

Optimise the following Boolean function $F$ together with the don't care conditions $d$. Find a simplified boolean expression for $F$ in sum-of-products using K-map
\env{align*}{
\m F{x,y,z,t} &= \m\Pi{1,5,7,8,9,11,13} \\
\m d{x,y,z,t} &= \m\Sigma{0,4,6,12}
}
im a bit confused here
the function is given in terms of its maxterms
converting to its minterms gives [
\m\Pi{1,5,7,8,9,11,13} = \m\Sigma{0,2,3,4,6,10,12,14,15}
]
but there is some overlap between the don't care conditions and the minterms in here, so what is going on?
I guess converting it is fine but I don't think you need to. The maxterms are 0 in a k map
So with your 4 term function, the kmap is a 4 x 4, you can fill in the don't cares and the max terms as 0s then the rest are 1s
\let\bar\conj
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|c|}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{$\bar z\bar t$}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{$\bar z t$}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{$zt$}& \multicolumn{1}{c}{$z\bar t$} \\
\cline{2-5}
$\bar x \bar y$ &d &0 &1 &1 \\
\cline{2-5}
$\bar xy$ &d &0 &0 & d\\
\cline{2-5}
$xy$ &d &0 &1 & 1 \\
\cline{2-5}
$x\bar y$& 0& 0& 0&1 \\
\cline{2-5}
\end{tabular}
Yeah, you can find the function from that now
okay so like the first row we have t changing
so we get x'y'z out of that
third row xyz similarly
and then lastly the fourth row xy'zt'
Why the last row?
i mean there is a 1 there
That is true, but a don't care bit can be in a grouping
yeah thats 2 and 4 cells respectively
Powers of two that form rectangles, I'm assuming that orange line, you indicate is a group of 4 but it's a T shape
sorry cant seem to find those 
Well, as mentioned, the don't cares can be included
So you have the red line one
The one in the third row, the zt/z!t is a grouping
Then the entire 4th column is a grouping
its fine to have overlap?
That would the SOP for that kmap
great
another question i have
"Write the Boolean expression for the output of a 2-to-1 Multiplexer and draw the corresponding logic diagram. What is the propagation delay of a 2-to-1 Multiplexer?"
\let\1\conj
im pretty sure its simply [
Y = \1S I_0 + SI_1
]
right?

source: ||2023 thailand MO, P3||
i’ve only gotten to ||f(0)=0 by P(0, 0) and f(-c)=-f(c) by P(y, x)||
i’ve tried subbing different stuffs like ||(x, -y)|| and ||(-x, -y)|| to try to abuse the fact that ||x^2=(-x)^2|| but that didnt help a lot
i need a hint
And obviously if u have noticed f(0) = 0 then u must have seen f(x)=0 is a solution too
Doesn't matter tbh
yes
but i cant just claim that
Wdym?
currently my guesses rn is f = 0 or x
like
that's not the end
rn my idea is
assume f isnt 0 (because we know f=0 worls) and try going on from there
Ofc u need to see if there are more solutions
there are
f(x) = x works
rn i am tryijg to use the fact that f(-x) = -f(x) and the fact that x^2 = (-x)^2 to do stuff rn
Also constant functions i.e. f(x) = c is only satisfied when c=0
but i've tried subbing (x, -y) ans f(-x, -y) and that was not very helpful
Lemme see if I can work something out
so can i have a hint
wait maybe injectivity/surjectivity
lemme see ah
assuming f =/= 0, take x_0 st f(x_0)=/=0, now plug y_1 and t_2
y_2*
such tgat f(y_1)=f(y_2)
Notice that since f(-x) = -f(x) therefore if f(x) is a polynomial it must be of odd degree
Yk that term? i explicitly made the choice to omit it
anyway
Do u have the answer?
let's try proving injectivity
To the question
easily findable online but i dont wanna get spoiled
i'm pretty sure it's f = 0 or identity
don't spoil me
ok no
anyway lets prove injectivity
$f(x_0)f(y_1)f(x_0-y_1)=(x_0)^2f(y_1)-(y_1)^2f(x_0)\
f(x_0)f(y_2)f(x_0-y_2)=(x_0)^2f(y_2)-(y_2)^2f(x_0)$
candies
ok lets see if i can 抵銷 stuff
lemme 相減
$f(x_0)f(y_1)[f(x_0-y_1)-f(x_0-y_2)]=f(x_0)(y_2^2-y_1^2)$
candies
so $f(y_1)[f(x_0-y_1)-f(x_0-y_2)]=(y_2^2-y_1^2)$
candies

What do the values in P represent and what do the values of x represent in this question?
P is a partition of [0, 1], i.e. you break [0, 1] into multiple parts to approximate the integral of f
that's what you should be seeing
and the x* are a choice of points inside each of these subdivisions (and you use the values of f(x*) to approx the value of the function on the whole interval containing x*)

why should it be discontinuous at uncountably many points?
its discontinuous on Q
rationals are countable
yes but its continuous at the irrationals
I mean exactly what I said
if x is irrational then f is continuous at x
yes
which is completely fine
you are completely mixing up the statements here
if that were true, then also f(x)=x wouldnt be intregrable

since the limit of (1+1/n)^n is e, can i just say the limit of (1-1/n)^(-n) is also e because plugging in (-n) gives us a subsequence and thus must converge to the same limit?
or since the indices are negative it doesnt count as a subsequence?
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
my bad, its -n
Well, it will be e
It is just as if n tends to -infinity
I did not get the reasoning however
any subsequence will converge to the same limit, so if the original sequence is (1+1/n)^n, plugging in (-n) gives us (1-1/n)^(-n) which also converges to e because it is a subsequence
is that valid?
because it is a subsequence
no it isn't
okay, thats where i had doubts. is it because were not skipping any indices, just making them negative?
Pretty much yeah - subsequences basically have to "skip indices" (basically being created from a subsequence of the indices) and so you can't e.g. "go backwards"
i see. so what would the reasoning be instead?
this?
For the infinity limit.
we are just supposed to use the fact that (1+1/n)^n has limit e, we have not studied l'hopitals rule yet
Okay

When doing question b and wanting to show that it counts for n+1, should I then use the recursive function ?
Should I set it up as 2*s_n+2 = 2^n+1 - 2 ?
I have a few questions:
A) Is the base case just putting 1 on n's place since we have Z >_ 1?
B) Whats is the step after? THe inductive or hypothesis steP?
I finished it now and ill write it out
We first set our base case up to show that s_n = 2^n - 2 holds for n = 1, since that is the smallest value.
s_1 = 2^1 - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0. Since this is true, which we know from the recursive function, we assume that s_n = 2^n - 2 for alle n in Z larger or equal to 1. Therefore it must also hold for n+1. We will now prove this by induction:
S_n+1 = 2 * S_n + 2 = 2 * (2^n - 2) + 2 = 2 * 2^n - 4 + 2 = 2^n+1 - 2
We first set our base case up to show that $s_n = 2^n - 2$ holds for $n = 1$, since that is the smallest value.
[ s_1 = 2^1 - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0. ]
Since this is true, which we know from the recursive function, we assume that $s_n = 2^n - 2$ for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ larger or equal to 1. Therefore it must also hold for $n+1$. We will now prove this by induction:
[ S_{n+1} = 2 \cdot S_n + 2 = 2 \cdot (2^n - 2) + 2 = 2^{n+1} - 4 + 2 = 2^{n+1} - 2 ]
bed
for all n >= 1
then you're already assuming it for n+1 :c
oh? isnt that what im supposed to do?
no you assume it's true for an integer n (that s_n = 2^n - 2), and then you show it's true for s_(n+1)
if you're already assuming the result there's no reason to prove it
So I should instead write: "Since this is true, which we know from the recursive function, we assume that s_n = 2^n - 2 for n. We know wish to prove inductively that it holds for n + 1" ?
well we don't know it's true for all n before doing the induction
we assume [it's true] for all n >= 1
then it's what the question asked, nothing left to prove, question done
the point is to not assume the result, it's showing that if it's true for some n it's true for all the integers after
Base step: n = 1 checked
Induction step: We assume there exists n in N which satisfies the property s_n = 2^n-2. Then s_(n+1) = 2s_n+2 = 2(2^n-2)+2 = 2^(n+1)-2, therefore n+1 satisfies it too.
In conclusion, the said property is true for all integers n >= 1
The whole point of a proof by induction is that you have a property P(x), P(k) true for some k
and then you show P(n) implies P(n+1)
so P(k) implies P(k+1) => P(k+2) => P(k+3) => ... for any integer m >= k you want
you mean n in Z?
doesn't matter since s_n isn't defined for n < 1
so its not wrong to write n in Z?
it's not wrong bc you'll write n >= 1 anyway
exactly bc you need a base step
for a proof by induction to make sense
okay
the hypothesis part here is just "We assume there exists n in N which satisfies the property s_n = 2^n-2." right?
yes
We assume there exists n in the natural numbers which satisfies the property s_n = 2^n - 2
in terms of math logic, we're showing P(n) => P(n+1)
Base step of an induction: P(k) is true for some k
Induction step: we show P(n) implies P(n+1)
Conclusion: P(k)=>P(k+1)=>...=>P(m) for all m >= k, so P(m) is true for all m >= k
that's what an induction does in math logic
and to show P(n) implies P(n+1), we assume P(n) and deduce P(n+1)
that's why induction is like it is
So for this one the first steps would be:
"We first set up our base case and put 0 in n's place to see if it holds for the smallest value:
(1+h)^0 >= 1 + 0* h.
1 >= 1
We assume that there is n in Z >= 0 which holds that (1+h)^n >= 1+nh"
@odd jacinth
Z >=0 yes
yea
What would I essentially need to show for this proof ?
Im trying to think
The property we will prove is P(n): (1+h)^n >= 1+nh for all n >= 0
Base step: n = 0 checked
Induction step: we assume there exists n >= 0 such that P(n) true, ie (1+h)^n >= 1+nh.
From that, we want to deduce P(n+1): (1+h)^(n+1) >= 1+(n+1)h is true.
right
how would you start something like this ?
we want n+1 on one side I guess
I would multiply by (1+h) and see how things turn out
(1+h)^n >= 1+nh so (1+h)^(n+1) >= (1+h)(1+nh)
= 1 + h + nh + nh² > 1+(n+1)h

suppose we had the function f: reals --> reals, where f(x) = x^2
can someone explain how f(x) = x^2 becomes invertible if we restrict its domain to x =>0
i thought that only bijective functions can be invertible?
if we restrict the domain to x => 0 doesn't f only become an injective function? thus by definition it's not invertible?
or do we assume that our codomain becomes restricted to positive reals, thus making f a bijective function?
yea i understand that
Like this it's doesn't work
But if you because the inverse function have 2 vlaues
but the problem is i thought a function is only invertible if it's bijective
+sqrt(x) and also -sqrt(x)
if we restrict the domain of x it's still not bijective
assuming our codomain is all reals
But if you take only one part which x² from x>= 0 then you will get the inverse is sqrt(x)
If you take x<0 then you will get the inverse as -sqrt(x)
the range of x² is the positive reals regardless of any restriction
yea but what about the codomain?
the codomain must also be the positive reals
Think about if like this
yea so then that would mean we have to restrict it then?
for x^2 to be a bijective function
yes, which is why we restrict it to x ≥ 0
ok so both the codomain and the domain are restricted to x => 0
for the function to become bijective
and therefore invertible
*positive reals
the codomain is only the positive reals regardless of whether the domain is restricted, so for it to be bijective we must restrict the domain to match
but the codomain can be anything right?
for x^2 the range is only positive reals
but the codomain can be reals

,, f(x)= 2 \cdot 3 ^{-(x+4)}-8
Akira (fumo)
I've began but I'd like to get corrected
the parent function is 3^x
horizontal asymptoe is y=-8

Akira (fumo)
y int is just plugging in 0?
now somewhat stuck at transformations
yup
wydm
like what transformations does this function represent of 3^x?
is that what you're asking?
no like can i transform 3^x as well?
I know this
here's a shortcut for it and the table dw
can i transform 2 and 3^x?
I know HT 4 by left and VT 8 down
what about 2 and 3^x?
2 could be interpreted as various different things with exponent properties, but most clearly as a vertical stretch
i'm a bit confused by what you're asking
3^x is the parent function
f(x)
ye I know but do i need to transform it or no?
only 2?
since 3^x is a parent function i get that
are you asking if you can do this with only two transformations, if so, i believe you can
because 2 can be seen as 3^log3(2)
and you can add it to the exponent
and with a bit of manipulation of terms, it can be viewed as a shifting term
so only a vertical shift, and a horizontial shift
:)
@ivory wave
- VS by 2
- RYA
- HT 4 left
- VT by 8 down
correct?
you can combine the VS and HT
but yes, that's right
i should've said 3 transformations of 3^x
i keep forgetting the negative
lmao
VS and HT are the same-ish with exponential functions
i.e. you can view a VS as a certain HT
and vice versa
why is there 2 ks
reflection in y-axis
k is -1
can i just say RYA since there's a negative?

<@&286206848099549185> meow

i'm fine with what you have as RYA, i'm just confused where you're confused lmao
what do you need corrected exactly
this
you can't transform 3^x since it's a parent function
right?
are you trying to transform 3^x to match the function you have now?
no im asking if i can transform it typically?
even it's a parent function
like for example this one
the parent function is 2^x
yes
it did not transform it
(my teacher did that example)
so i can't do same thing for 3^x?
I'm still so confused what you mean by 'not transform it';
checking this example and it did not
so yes or no?
????
how did you type dot in desmos
*
can you transform 3^x into that function?
$f(x)= 2 \cdot \textcolor{red}{3} ^{-(x+4)}-8$
Akira (fumo)
you want to reverse f(x) to make 3^x?

brain
....
yes
my teacher didn't transform 2^x in this example
can i also not do it for 3^x since it's a parent function?
you only apply those sorts of transformationns when theres a HT, HS and HC
cause those are the 'inside' of the parent function
