Has to be differentiable in (a,b)

spring oasis
#

Well

#

Like remember that f(x,y) = P(x,y) + R(x,y)

#

Basically if f(x,y) - P(x,y) = R(x,y)
Then lim (x,y)->(a,b) R(x,y)/||(x-a,y-b)||=0

#

Because it feels like impossible to continue

#

There's too many terms

#

And I don't think I have enough space in my page to expand all that

#

Also feels like brute forcing the answer

zenith spoke
#

ok so there is something that you can do to simplify things quickly

#

the denominator is (x-1)^2+(y+2)^2

#

so if you can get multiples of this expression in the numerator for example then you can simplify right?

spring oasis
#

Yes

zenith spoke
#

say you get something like $\frac{4(y+2)^2+4(x-1)^2-3}{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}$ then that would simplify to $4-\frac 3{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}$

woven radishBOT
#

ali yassine

zenith spoke
#

so now the goal is to do things like this

spring oasis
#

(x-1)^2 / ||(x-1,y+2)|| -> 0

zenith spoke
#

first of all is that true?

#

also where did this come from

spring oasis
#

Yes I can prove it

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

ohhh i see

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Also (y+2)^2 / ||(x-1,y+2)|| -> 0

zenith spoke
#

its actually ||(x-1,y+2)||^2

spring oasis
#

I'm sorry

zenith spoke
#

your statements are true

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Wait

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

yes they are

#

if you convert to polar coordinates via the substitutions x-1=rcosθ and y+2=rsinθ then the limit will become a limit when r->0

spring oasis
#

Ah it's not 0, it's 1?

zenith spoke
#

it doesnt exist

zenith spoke
#

so it doesnt exist

#

do you know about this thing with polar coordinates?

#

if no then i recommend that you pick it up because it is sometimes useful

zenith spoke
#

you dont have to overthink and try to get things that may be useful in the process

#

just begin and you can figure out what to do along the way

spring oasis
#

Sorry

#

Can we start from scratch then?

zenith spoke
#

no need to say sorry you didnt do anything wrong. I am just telling you this because it may save you some time and not mess things up for you

spring oasis
#

Shit got messy

zenith spoke
spring oasis
zenith spoke
zenith spoke
#

notice that there is already a term 4(x-1)^2 in the numerator

#

so its probably better to not touch that for now right?

spring oasis
#

Ye

zenith spoke
#

ok so keep this term as it is for now

#

now subsitute P_3 instead of f

#

and simplify things

#

from there we will proceed

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

you did it correctly here btw

zenith spoke
zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Until here everything correct

zenith spoke
#

yes

spring oasis
#

Now?

#

@zenith spoke

zenith spoke
#

ok so now is the tricky part

#

now we want to play around with the terms in order to factorize things nicely

#

so first notice the 4y^2+16y that you have

#

we want everything that has y to somehow have the form of k(y+2)^2 and everything with x to have the form n(x-1)^2 where k and n are some constants right?

#

because then we can somehow simplify things with the denominator

#

so can you make 4y^2+16y into this form somehow?

#

its missing a constant term there

#

which constant is it missing?

spring oasis
#

You want me to complete the square

#

?

zenith spoke
#

yes

spring oasis
#

+4

zenith spoke
#

are you sure?

#

so 4y^2+16y+4 is a square?

spring oasis
#

Give me a fricking second dude

#

I'm thinking

#

Y^2 + 4y + 4 = (y+2)^2

zenith spoke
#

ah mb, when i wrote that i didnt want you to answer right after it. I was just trying to show you the picture better

spring oasis
#

4Y^2 + 16y + 16 = 4(y+2)^2

zenith spoke
#

right

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

exactly

spring oasis
#

And subtract -16

zenith spoke
#

nice

spring oasis
#

What's your point?

zenith spoke
#

the point is that now we have 4(y+2)^2+4(x-1)^2 for now

#

there are other terms too

#

but we can separate the fractions

#

and then simplify

spring oasis
#

Ok

#

Nice

zenith spoke
#

you can even write things in a nicer way

#

but first lets do this

#

then we will continue

spring oasis
#

Ok

#

@zenith spoke

zenith spoke
#

alright, now the fraction on the left simplifies to?

spring oasis
#

4

zenith spoke
#

right

#

now we only have the other fraction to deal with

spring oasis
zenith spoke
# spring oasis

(also small note that the denominator of the right fraction is ||(x-1,y+2)||^2 and ik you meant to write that but just so you dont find it weird if you return to this later)

zenith spoke
#

all good

#

now lets see what to do with the right fraction

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

lets try to factorize in a nice way

spring oasis
#

(x-1)^2 = x^2 -2x + 1
9(x-1)^2 = 9x^2 -18x + 9

zenith spoke
#

so here let me tell you the idea

#

since there is (x-1)^2+(y+2)^2 in the denominator

#

we know that it becomes something nice if we convert to polar coordinates with the right substitutions right?

spring oasis
#

Sure

zenith spoke
#

exactly so we would like to use that if it makes things easier

#

but if we convert to polar coordinates rn the numerator will be a mess

#

so its better to write the numerator in a nicer way where using polar coordinates gives a nice form without tedious calculations

#

so if we want to convert to polar coordinates here what would be the most natural substitution?

zenith spoke
#

i think you will know what i mean soon

zenith spoke
#

what would be the substitution

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Y-1 = rsintheta -> 0

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

As r -> 0 for some theta

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Y+2

zenith spoke
#

exactly

#

ok nice

#

so we want to substitute x-1=rcosθ (and y+2=rsinθ) at the end of the day

#

so what i really meant by "write the numerator in a nicer way" is to have something of the form k(x-1)^n for some k and n or something like that since then converting to polar coordinates would become much easier

spring oasis
#

(x-1)^2 = x^2 -2x + 1
9(x-1)^2 = 9x^2 -18x + 9

zenith spoke
#

hmmm but then what will you do with this?

zenith spoke
# spring oasis

if you dont know how to proceed then maybe start by trying to put similar things together

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

for example -3x^3 and 3 have the same coefficients (up to a sign) . also 9x^2 and -9x have this similarity too

#

so maybe if you factorize each of these alone a common factor between them will appear?

#

so try to factorize each of -3x^2+3 and 9x^2-9x then see what you get

spring oasis
#

Well

#

-3(x^2 - 1)

#

9(x^2 -x)

zenith spoke
#

ok can these expressions be factorized more?

#

or is this it?

spring oasis
#

I'm not sure

#

9x(x -1)

zenith spoke
#

what about -3(x^2-1)?

#

wait

#

it should be -3(x^3-1)

zenith spoke
spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

because the numerator has -3x^3 and doesnt have -3x^2

spring oasis
#

The issue is

#

Well I'm still here

zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Well

spring oasis
#

Like clearly you want me to factorize (a-b) in the numerator

#

Correct?

zenith spoke
#

right, but you most probably should show this step in the exam

#

personally i dont mind if you skip it and just take the common factor and simplify everything in one step as long as you do that correctly and you know what you are doing

spring oasis
#

Ok

zenith spoke
#

also i wouldnt call it overkill because its essentially what you are doing even if you dont explicitly show the step

rain summit
# spring oasis

im confused about $4 + \lim_{(x, y) \to (1, -2)} \frac{-3(x^3 - 1) + 9x(x - 1)}{\abs{\abs{(x - 1, y + 2)}}^2}$

woven radishBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

rain summit
#

what's the denominator part mean?

#

that notation in the denominator is weird

spring oasis
#

|X| = Sqrt{x^2}

#

Same in R2

rain summit
#

but why $(x - 1, y + 2)$?

woven radishBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

rain summit
# spring oasis

and the denominator consists of addition of 2 squares which is hard to work with

zenith spoke
#

$\lVert (x-a,y-b)\rVert=\sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}$ so $\lVert (x-1,y+2)\rVert ^2=(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2$

woven radishBOT
#

ali yassine

zenith spoke
rain summit
spring oasis
#

(x^3-1) = (x-1)(x^2 + x + 1)

zenith spoke
#

right

spring oasis
#

Well

#

We factorize (x-1) in numerator

zenith spoke
#

correct

#

what does that give you

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

exactly

#

what next?

spring oasis
#

You tell me

#

😭

manic onyx
#

numerator

spring oasis
#

Or what

spring oasis
#

But it doesn't get me that far

manic onyx
#

it does

spring oasis
#

How so?

manic onyx
#

expand -3(...) + 9x and simplify it again

spring oasis
#

Ok

manic onyx
#

yess

#

then -3(x^2 - 2x + 1) -> what does it simplify to?

spring oasis
#

-3(x-1)^2

manic onyx
#

yes -> so the lim is -3(x-1)^2 / [ (x-1)^2 + (y+2)^2 ]

#

sorry idk how to write plain latex lol

zenith spoke
manic onyx
zenith spoke
manic onyx
#

because you can use a variable change u = x-1 ; v = y+2

zenith spoke
#

remember that you have a factor of (x-1) too

#

so ?

spring oasis
zenith spoke
manic onyx
zenith spoke
#

-3(x-1)^3

spring oasis
manic onyx
#

it converges in (0,0)

zenith spoke
#

remember that you had a factor of (x-1)

zenith spoke
spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

you would need something like polar coordinates

#

which would do everything with one hit

manic onyx
#

in polar coordinates the denominator is trivial

zenith spoke
#

so now is the time for what i told you earlier @spring oasis

manic onyx
#

so you can solve it

zenith spoke
# spring oasis

so now you have $\lim_{(x,y)\to (1,-2)}\frac{-3(x-1)^3}{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}$

woven radishBOT
#

ali yassine

zenith spoke
#

we agreed that the substitution we would do is x-1=rcosθ and y+2=rsinθ right?

#

in that case the limit will become a limit in 1 variable which is r

#

we want to know where r goes

zenith spoke
#

@spring oasis

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

ohhhh great job!

#

one last question

#

what if the value of the last limit depended on θ?

spring oasis
#

Then it dne

zenith spoke
#

i will give you a limit to compute using polar coordinates

#

because there is a trap that i want you to be aware of and avoid if you encounter it later on

#

$\lim_{(x,y)\to (0,0)}\frac{x^2}y$

woven radishBOT
#

ali yassine

zenith spoke
#

evaluate this limit using polar coordinates (if it exists)

spring oasis
#

r^2cos^2(@)/rsin(@)

#

rcos^2(@)/sin(@)

#

Well

spring oasis
#

Wat about y = x^2

#

Aha!

spring oasis
#

Path y = x^2 gives 1

#

Path y = x gives 0

zenith spoke
#

you cheated!

zenith spoke
#

so the limit should exist and be 0

#

but it clearly doesnt exist

#

you just gave 2 paths with different limits

spring oasis
zenith spoke
#

hahaha great job!

#

so there is no problem in the polar coordinate way

#

its not wrong or something like that

#

but you should be careful

zenith spoke
zenith spoke
spring oasis
#

Yeah I guess

idk if im allowed to help but the domain is between the 2nd and 3rd quadrants

#

its asking for

#

ur base angle is going to be pi/6

#

cause

#

sin pi/6 = 1/2

#

and its asking for -1/2

#

which means its in the 3rd quadrant

#

so u add pi to pi/6

#

therefore ur answer is 7pi/6

mighty crypt
#

ok i get it

#

so bascially theta is my beta basically

uneven salmon

#

theta is suppsoed to be terminal arm and beta is supposed to be my corresponding angle

but in this situation it switches around

hexed wedge
#

Can someone give example

faint zinc
#

,rccw

woven radishBOT
faint zinc
#

This is very chem.

hexed wedge
#

yeah apologies but chem server doesn’t have much people to get instant help

#

and I kinda need to know as well

faint zinc
#

So water will always make some H+ ions and OH- ions, which is why neutral pH is 7.

If you add acid to water there are more H+ ions and correspondingly fewer OH- ions, the reaction reaches a new equilibrium

#

It's not the best example, but it's the one I thought of in the moment.

hexed wedge
#

that’s too complicated for me

#

I mean how do I write the reaction

faint zinc
#

Ok here's one

#

CO2 + H2O <-> H2 CO3

#

This is how carbonation happens

normal bolt
#

Consider N2(g) + 3H2(g) <--- ---> 2NH3(g)

at t= 0 it has some initial concentration and when you make disturbance in it or say add reactant it will try to achieve equilibrium (moles, concentration etc with time becomes constant) by shifting that moles from left to right

hexed wedge
faint zinc
#

We force the concentration of CO2 in the water as high as we can, which drives the reaction forward.

#

Then when you open the can the concentration of CO2 is significantly less, so CO2 bubbles out

#

(which is the reaction going in reverse)

hexed wedge
#

I’ll take both for convenience

hexed wedge
#

Can’t be kelvin

normal bolt
#

It sometimes give celcius or K

#

celsius*

hexed wedge
normal bolt
#

It may happen

hexed wedge
#

What about vice versa

#

Let’s say we add to the products

#

AND

#

The place where there are more moles

#

Like in the left side it’s 4

#

On the right it’s two

#

SO

#

Will the reaction go in the direction where there are less moles

normal bolt
#

Yes to achieve equilibrium state

Renato

fossil locust
#

you should be able to figure out what to compare a) to, using the limit comparison test

spring oasis
#

care to elaborate

#

@fossil locust

fossil locust
#

like, $\frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4}$ is similar enough to $\frac{x^3}{x^4 + 4}$

woven radishBOT
spring oasis
pseudo basin
#

even to x^3/x^4 tbh

#

squintmaxxing

fossil locust
fossil locust
spring oasis
#

what am I supposed to do with LCT for improper integral

#

And how do I know if it even applies here

#

we are skipping steps here

#

@fossil locust

fossil locust
spring oasis
#

so basically I need to find a lower bound

fossil locust
spring oasis
#

but. . . how do I even know if comparison test even applies here, what are the previous conditions that need to happen in order to apply

fossil locust
#

you can use 1/(2x) as a lower bound, given that you have something like "for all x >= 10"

spring oasis
#

is x in the inverval [1, infty+)?

#

can I receieve more handholding? @fossil locust idk if you guys are rushing through this or being handwavy

#

supose x > 0, then this whole $$\frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \geq \frac{x^3}{x^4 + 4}$$

woven radishBOT
#

Renato

fossil locust
#

so it is true that $\frac{1}{2x} \le \frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4}$ for all real $x \ge N$

spring oasis
#

the second une is g(x)

woven radishBOT
fossil locust
#

where N is finite: I'd encourage you to try estimating N

#

by rearranging the inequality

spring oasis
#

wtf?

#

that seems out of the blue, isnt it?

fossil locust
#

the idea is that it's approximately (x^3)/(x^4) = 1/x

#

but 1/x is too big

#

so you can multiply 1/x by some smaller constant

spring oasis
#

this handwavy

fossil locust
#

it's the right intuition for these problems

spring oasis
#

we dont have x^3 / x^4 tho

fossil locust
#

like, you'd do a similar thing to find the horizontal asymptote of (x^3 + 5)/(x^4 + 4)

pseudo basin
#

i wouldnt say it is too big

#

rather you should be thinking in somewhat looser terms as far as comparisons go

#

"looks like 1/x" means bounded above/below (as necessary) by k/x with a constant k which may need to be pinned down

#

well i mean ok like, "too big" means k<1 in this case

fossil locust
#

do you remember $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^3 (1 + 5/x^3)}{x^3 (x + 4/x^3)} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{(1 + 0)}{(x + 0)} = \frac{1}{x}$

pseudo basin
#

just saying that it may help to open yourself up to a slight bend in the argumentation road

woven radishBOT
spring oasis
hasty zenith
#

You are using the comparison test to determine whether or not the sequences converge

fossil locust
#

that the integral of (x^3 + 5)/(x^4 + 4) behaves like the integral of 1/x

spring oasis
#

right

fossil locust
# fossil locust

because you're considering the behaviour of the integrals as $x \to \infty$

woven radishBOT
fossil locust
#

so they have a finite ratio as x to infinity

#

and you can pull constants out of the integral; that doesn't affect convergence or divergence

spring oasis
spring oasis
fossil locust
#

I think the approach is to use the integral test to approximate those as summations

#

then use the limit comparison test for summations

#

both of these have proofs

spring oasis
#

comparison tests work for me

#

I just need to find a suitable lower bound and call it a day

spring oasis
#

just this, simplest approach, what would it be

#

?

#

help me find a suitable lower bound @fossil locust

spring oasis
#

does this work or no

hasty zenith
#

You have lower bounds in the question you were given no?

spring oasis
# pseudo basin even to x^3/x^4 tbh

is this argument true or false $$\frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \geq \frac{x^3}{x^4 + 4}$$ and then $$\frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \geq \frac{x^3}{x^4} \geq \frac{x^3}{x^4 + 4}$$ for $x \in [1, \infty+)$ \\ And finally $$\frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \geq \frac{x^3}{x^4}$$

spring oasis
#

I dont think so, no

spring oasis
hasty zenith
#

Right I see

woven radishBOT
#

Renato

spring oasis
#

lmfao I always mess up with this bounding arguments

spring oasis
#

seems out of the blue

pseudo basin
#

we say $+\infty$ btw and not $\infty+$

woven radishBOT
spring oasis
#

the problem is, this bound SOUTH found 1/2x seems out of the blue

spring oasis
#

ah I think I see what you mean

pseudo basin
#

i mean that "f(x) looks like 1/x" should mean "f(x) ≥ k/x [or ≤ k/x if that's what we need] with some constant k that we'll figure out now"

spring oasis
#

let me clarify things, so we have that $x \in [1, +\infty)$
having said that, we also have that
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^3 (1 + 5/x^3)}{x^3 (x + 4/x^3)} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1 + 5/x^3}{x + 4/x^3} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x}$$
so $$\int_1^{+\infty} \frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \ dx \approx \int_1^{+\infty} \frac{1}{x} \ dx$$ and now before direct comparison $$\frac{1}{x} \geq \frac{1}{2x}$$ when $x \in [1, +\infty)$ \\ having said that, since $$\int_1^{+\infty} \frac{1}{2x} \ dx = \frac{1}{2} \int_1^{+\infty} \frac{1}{x} \ dx$$ clearly diverges and using direct comparison: $\frac{x^3 +5}{x^4 + 4} \geq \frac{1}{2x}$ then we have that $$\int_1^{+\infty} \frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \ dx $$ diverges

#

@pseudo basin @fossil locust something among that lines for the argument?

pseudo basin
#

mmm

#

something along those lines i guess, sure. but what you've written is nonrigorous

#

it's an unpleasant mix between formal proof and intuition

spring oasis
#

which parts are handwavy 😂

#

sorry this is my first improper integral exercise

#

i guess the part where I get that x^3(..)/x^4(....) = 1/x

spring oasis
pseudo basin
#

so i'd say for a formal proof you just dont put any intuition in writing

#

it's your rough work

spring oasis
#

sure

pseudo basin
#

also semirelated: you've got missing dx's like

#

everywhere

@spring oasis Has your question been resolved?

faint gorge
#

whats ur q

spring oasis
#

need help with 2) and to have my work checked for 1) @faint gorge

#

please

faint gorge
#

The justification that x^3.../x^4... ~ 1/x is not good imo

#

just compare it straight

spring oasis
#

please how would you do it I need more handhold

faint gorge
#

we would like to find a smaller integrand, so make the denominator greater and numerator smaller

woven radishBOT
spring oasis
#

why are you splitting this thingy

#

just use this

faint gorge
#

because the estimation would probably not be valid for all x in [1, +oo)

spring oasis
#

how so?

faint gorge
#

and it's no big deal since 1/x diverges in [x0, +oo)

faint gorge
spring oasis
#

care to elaborate

#

I dont think I follow the rationale

faint gorge
#

then x0=0 but the point is sometimes estimations dont hold for all x, but sometimes for sufficiently large values of x

#

for example x^2 >= x is not true for all x, for example in (0,1)

#

so we would then consider the interval [1, +oo)

spring oasis
#

it is appearant that $\frac{x^3+5}{x^4 + 4} \ge \frac{1}{2x}$ correct?

woven radishBOT
#

Renato

spring oasis
#

for any x in [1, +infty)

#

I dont see why is that a big deal

faint gorge
#

because you wanted your work checked

#

and imo your justification was not good

#

so do it rigorously

spring oasis
#

where is it not good

faint gorge
#

the limit thingy

spring oasis
#

my point is, why are you splitting the integrals

spring oasis
#

yeah that part was very handwavy but was proposed by another helper I think

faint gorge
spring oasis
#

I see

faint gorge
#

the other one is just some finite number in the end which doesnt make a difference

full geode
woven radishBOT
spring oasis
#

ok, do you mind we start from scratch

#

yeah in this case x >= 1

#

we have that advantadge

faint gorge
#

u just have to find C such that x^4+4 =< Cx^4

#

might indeed just take 2, and see for which x that inequality holds

spring oasis
faint gorge
#

that is trivial

#

h(x) * (x^3+5) >= h(x) * x^3

spring oasis
#

what a moment, I want to prove $\frac{x^3+5}{x^4 + 4} \ge \frac{1}{2x}$ how do you go to $x^4 + 4 \leq Cx^4$

woven radishBOT
#

Renato

spring oasis
#

C is 2? no

faint gorge
#

C can be greater than 0

woven radishBOT
faint gorge
#

just do the algebra

#

leaving out +5 in the numerator is not a big deal

spring oasis
#

okay sure

#

then what?

#

after x^4 + 4 <= Cx^3

faint gorge
#

u forgot, we wanted to find a C > 0 so that we can estimate the integrand down, so do that

spring oasis
#

yeah I guess C = 2 works fine

#

correct?

faint gorge
#

ok show it

spring oasis
#

x^4 + 4 <= 2x^4

#

4 <= 2x^4 - x^4

#

4 <= x^4

#

2 <= x^2

#

-sqrt(2) <= x <= sqrt(2)

faint gorge
#

no

#

sqrt(2) =< |x| which implies x =< -sqrt(2) or x >= sqrt(2)

#

but since x >= 1 we only care about the very latter

spring oasis
#

yes

#

that one

#

so x >= sqrt(2) which is ? true always because x >= 1

winged pumice
#

Hii

calm blade
spring oasis
#

what about the numerator now? @faint gorge

faint gorge
#

think

winged pumice
spring oasis
calm blade
faint gorge
woven radishBOT
spring oasis
#

,, \frac{x^3 + 5}{x^4 + 4} \ge \frac{Cx^3}{x^4 + 4} \implies x^3 + 5 \ge Cx^3

woven radishBOT
#

Renato

faint gorge
#

thats overkill

#

you can just omit constants, in the numerator

#

x^3+5 >= x^3 immediately since it's equivalent to 5 >= 0

worn plover
#

31

spring oasis
#

and C2 = 2

#

where C1 is for the numerator and C2 is for the denominator

#

something like dat

faint gorge
#

ok sure

spring oasis
#

can we start from scratch

#

and what else do we need to fix

faint gorge
#

i need to take a break

#

maybe i am later avail

#

able

spring oasis
#

I see

#

I appreciate the help, but this should be pretty much it for the first exercise

devout snowBOT
#

@spring oasis Has your question been resolved?

faint gorge
#

the second one would use a similar approach

#

using |sin(x)| =< |x|

spring oasis
#

-1 <= Sin(x) <= 1
0 <= Sin^2(x) <= ?

spring oasis
full geode
#

For any real x, if -1 <= x <= 1 then 0 <= x^2 <= 1

faint gorge
spring oasis
spring oasis
faint gorge
faint gorge
spring oasis
#

The problem is we don't have absolute value

faint gorge
#

that's not a problem

spring oasis
#

Please elaborate

faint gorge
#

if |sin(x)| =< |x| but also sin(x) =< |sin(x)| then what do you get by transitivity?

spring oasis
#

Sin(x) <= |x| doesn't make any sense

faint gorge
#

anyway by sin(x) =< |x| you can get sin(x) =< x, given that x >= 0

spring oasis
#

,w sin(1/2)

full geode
spring oasis
#

Alright okay

#

To put it simply

#

|Sin(x)| <= |x| always

faint gorge
#

yea (you may try to prove it some other time for yourself)

spring oasis
#

But we have

#

|sin^2(x)| <= |x|^2

faint gorge
#

so?

spring oasis
#

Both are positive always so

#

sin^2(x) <= x^2

faint gorge
#

yea okay

spring oasis
#

Alright okay

#

How to proceed

faint gorge
#

read your comparison theorem and then you should remember what you wanted

spring oasis
#

2x/(x^{3/2}) >= (..) @faint gorge

faint gorge
#

ye

#

#

Ok

faint gorge
spring oasis
#

Sorry I'm in the toilet

faint gorge
#

consider the integral of 2/sqrt(x) from 0 to 1

spring oasis
faint gorge
#

so take the limit

spring oasis
#

What limit

faint gorge
#

instead of fucking x=0

spring oasis
#

X -> 0

faint gorge
#

#

yes

spring oasis
#

It's infinity, unrefined

faint gorge
#

what is infinity and why

#

write down your work

spring oasis
#

1/x as x-> 0

faint gorge
#

???

spring oasis
#

Is infinity

#

you have first of all 2/sqrt(x)

#

and secondly, you have the integral of that

#

#

What's your point

#

@faint gorge

faint gorge

#

The limit doesn't exist when x approaches 0

#

,, \dots \le \lim_{a\to0}\int_a^1 \f{2}{\sqrt{x}} , dx

#

#

write down everything we did for 2

spring oasis
#

Ok

#

Einen Moment bitte

ebon coyote
#

you're taking the limit of the whole integral, not of the integrand

faint gorge
spring oasis
#

South took the limit of the integrand earlier

faint gorge
#

thats why he needs to write the stuff down

faint gorge
spring oasis
#

Why he did it

faint gorge
#

read your theorem

spring oasis
#

This one is when one of the bounds is unbounded

faint gorge
#

improper integrals are not just bounds with inf

spring oasis
#

Something like dat

faint gorge
#

are you double integrating or what

spring oasis
#

Wdym

faint gorge
#

look at your work again

spring oasis
faint gorge
#

to show your theorem works still

spring oasis
#

But how to substitute

faint gorge
#

by substituting

spring oasis
faint gorge
#

Why is there $\lim_{a\to0} \int_a^1 2\sqrt{u} , du$??

woven radishBOT
spring oasis
faint gorge
#

where did you state a substitution? did you check the bounds?

#

i said to apply the substitution for the theorem

#

but okay anyway, you need to check the bounds

#

they dont make sense that way

spring oasis
#

Is better if we start from scratch

#

I mean

faint gorge
#

u do the work not me

#

review integrals and substitutions

spring oasis
#

From my perspective

#

Something like this would be a possible justification

Right so ive just learned integrals. This is all what ive understood => integral ( y ) dx . Integral symbol stands for sum of y . dx which is formula of area for rectangles. Lets take for example x =1; were adding an infinitesimal value to 1 making dx as one of the sides. Thus also adding an infitesimal value to y ( dy) making another side of that rectangle dy. Adding every possible x value gives us the area of the whole function. Now here’s my question: why does the area of a derivative give us its original equation? What does the area of a derivative have to do with its original equation?

were you given a proof of one of the fundamental theorems of calculus

little sonnet
#

What do u mean ?

supple knot
#

either this one

#

or this one

pure kelp
# little sonnet What do u mean ?

if you really just want to understand the intuition behind why we define the process of integration as the reverse process of taking the derivative, then you might want to recall that a derivative is the slope of the tangent to the curve (our function) defined at all points on the curve if our function is continuous and diffetiable. so its kinda like breaking up the curve into very very tiny points of tangency?
now when you add all these slopes up (integrate it), you get your curve back!

other helpers please correct my language if ive added anything incorrectly

You don't want to isolate cosx

you want the proof that cosx = 1/secx?

fringe garnet
fringe garnet
eager nova
#

Ok you want to veryfy the identity ok

now that makes more sense

fringe garnet
young spade
#

$$\sec x = \frac 1{\cos x}$$
$$(\sec x)^{-1} = \left(\frac 1{\cos x} \right)^{-1}$$
$$\frac 1{\sec x} = \cos x.$$

This is also sort of the definition for multiplicative inverses.

fringe garnet
eager nova
#

so cosx = adj / hyp

#

and the definition of secx?

fringe garnet
eager nova
#

ok so

#

what happens if I do the inverse to the secx?

#

1 / (hyp/adj)

fringe garnet
#

That gives 1 / sec(x)

eager nova
#

but sec x = hyp / adj

#

i want you to do

#

1 / (hyp/adj)

#

without using the word secx

#

do you remember how to operate with fractions?

fringe garnet
eager nova
#

nice

fringe garnet

what you did was using the definition of sec x and cosx to verify that 1/secx = cosx

Basically, the integral over a closed curve in a field is equal to the integral over the whole region of the curl of said field one dimension above

drifting sierra
#

It is sometimes equal to 0

#

Oh well they haven't exactly explained what's happening here

I thought the method was to find the derivative and set it equal to 0

drifting sierra
#

You understand that cos(2x) varies from 0 to 1, right?

vital edge
#

The derivative is sometimes zero but that doesn't necessarily make that point an extrema

#

Have you seen the graph of x³

vital edge
#

The derivative is 0 at x, but the point is very much not an extrema

#

Sorry, -1 to 1

viral lynx
#

Ahh oke haha

vital edge
#

To be an extrema, you need the first derivative to be zero and the second to be non zero

#

If not, you get weird stuff happening

vital edge
#

Essentially cuz you want the graph to sort of turn around at that point

drifting sierra
#

If not you can get inflection points

viral lynx
#

And if it doesnt then there is no extrema?

viral lynx
#

Because it will only be increasing or decreasing, right?

vital edge
#

Think of the derivative as the tangent line slope

#

You want it to become horizontal

#

And then go the other way

I wish I had a video on hand
