limit from left and limit from right
Well I looked at it I kinda get it
Idk how I missed that in class or how to determine which side it’s coming from
Yeah what do i do with this knowledge of sided limits
Granted it’s from the left it’s gonna be a very small number and if it’s from the right it’s a bit bigger
Check both, we usually do it when we doubt that the limit exist or we suspect it
If it’s for example 8.9 then the fraction becomes 1/0.1 which gives ten otherwise it’s gonna be -10 so the limit exists?
I am not getting this
e.g. when x approaches 3 from the left abs(3-x) = abs(x-3) = -(x-3) and in the second case we have abs(3-x) = abs(x-3) = (x-3), so the result depends on the direction
same with 3^(1/(9-x^2))
Good intuition, now you can observe that if x tends to 3 from the left you'll be getting 3 to the power of bigger and bigger number, so it grows very fast
i.e. 3^(some really huge number) ---> +inf
on the other hand if x tends to 3 from the right you'll be getting 3 to the power of smaller and smaller number (large numbers with minus sign)
i.e. 3^(some really huge negative number) ---> 0
because it's (1/3)^(some really huge number)
and if you divide 1 by a really huge numbers result is close to zero
That's the logic behind it
Hard to grasp honestly but it’s either positive or negative infinity right?
We get two possible outcomes then?
Yes, two different outcomes
Either one or infinity?
Simply put, it's +inf (if x approaches from the left) and 0 for the other case
Wait from the left is infinity?
So tough my head hurts I mean I get it but it’s very unusual
Alright looking at the graph it makes a bit more sense but still overall pretty tough concept
You can understand it starting from some easier examples, like lim x -> 0 of 1/x
From the right to infinity from the left minus infinity
I can’t understand it in number I need to visualise it still
But thanks I appreciate the help it still gives me more headaches than I thought
Yes, and this is why the limit is DNE
Only in cases with infinity on both sides?
Because for a limit to exist, the sided limits must be equal to each other
I mean we have two different outcomes 1 and inf in the original question so it’s DNE?
or should I leave it like this
Yes, it's DNE
Because the sided limits aren't equal
at x = 3
Ooh that’s better
Ok yeah thats enough for today I will do some more tomorrow
Thanks Modus your pretty good at teaching this kind of stuff
Have a great time of the day

Ok so I was using an ai tutor to help me learn limits. 2 different ai's gave me different answers so now im confused again.
I know B is no limit existing but i dont know exactly why.
The answer that came to mind for A: was 0 or 1 (ai gave me 1 but I thought it was 0)
it's 0
i just tried an AI and it gave me complete bunk
B has no limit because the limit from the right (1) is not equal to the limit from the left (-2)
thank you but for B what does the limit mean exactly? idk my brain is saying the 2nd line sectiong thing isnt continuing and starts with an open circle
idk if im just confusing myself or not
the limit is the value that f approaches near the given point
yea but if you look at x = 2.01, x = 2.0001, x = 2.000000001, etc
then f(x) gets closer and closer to 1
so the limit from the right is 1
similarly the limit from the left is -2
the actual value of f(-2) doesn't matter at all
we only care about what's nearby
ok i kinda have to let that sink it but thank you. Yeah ig ill have to stop using ai cause its not really reliable anymore. just confuses me more
thank you

heya,
so for this im unsure on how do i solve it or show it
i get that the equation has to be something that goes to 3 <= given <= something goes to 3
but how?
hi
try using 0 <= 2^n and then add 3^n to both sides
and same thing to 2^n < 3^n
wdym?
what part of that is confusing
why are we using 0 and why add 3^n?
that is how you squeeze the thing!
not getting it
did you do this yet
i dont get what to do, to do it
what do you get after you add 3^n to both sides?
on the original equation or the 0 <= 2^n?
0 <= 2^n
well... 3^n <= 2^n + 3^n
then this is your next hint
i myself am confused about the right side of the squeezing process
not that my understanding matters much in this interaction
so...
(3^n)^1/n <= (2^n)^1/n + (3^n)^1/n
we get, 3 <= 2^n)^1/n + 3?
no thats not right
dont worry about simplifying the middle
that doesnt follow from the previous step tho
you cant take nth root of individual terms
you have to (2^n + 3^n)^(1/n)
so (3^n)^1/n <= (2^n + 3^n)^1/n
then (3^n)^1/n becomes 3?
3 <= (2^n + 3^n)^1/n
now add 3^n to both sides of this inequality
your next hint is $\lim_{n \to \y} \sqrt[n]{a} = 1, \forall a > 0$
riemann
maybe a should be > 1 instead of a > 0
im lost
start with 2^n <= 3^n
why can't you add 3^n to 2^n <= 3^n
i.. so
2^n + 3^n <= 3^n + 2^n?
oh my bad read wrong:
i.. so
2^n + 3^n <= 3^n + 3^n?
3(1^n + 1^n)
id write it without the 1/n first and then take 1/n of each expression
and then you get to deliver the punchline !!!!
im lost i dont get the why
like i get the lower bond
(2^n + 3^n)
(3^n)
and since everything was 1/n we get 3
hence the lower bond, it HAS to be greator than 3
but the upper is still confusing me
you didn't take the nth root of the right side yet
you did a <= b then a^(1/n) <= b
,tex .exp rules
riemann
you need to be really familiar with these in calculus
dam it
nono yeah i know them ive been forgetting stuff a lot lately
(3)^1/n <= (2^n + 3^n)^1/n <= 3^n(2)
Still wrong. Now you took the nth root of the left side twice
Right side, not left side.
give me a moment i have to bang my head on the wall
@eternal crypt Has your question been resolved?
okay so after banging my head on the wall:
lower bond = (0 + 3^n)^1/n = 3
uppwer bond = (3^n + 3^n)^1/n = 3(2)^1/n
i still dont get the why for the upper bond, but yeah
Did you not understand this
Or this
i dont get the why
for lower i get what we did and why we did
Because you want to get 3
You're not done yet
really?
i mean after this isnt it just saying lim n-> infinity for lowe and upper
and just adidng a therefore statement blah blah blah
okay so... we need 3 as upper bond so we say
2^n + 3^n < 3?
You need to take the limit as n goes to infinity still
This is very much wrong

`yeah that happens afterwards
like the basic was that, then afterwards the limit to infinity tells the actual limit
i give up

Hello, can someone give me a hint on how to solve this with trigonometry. I tried to do it but i got nothing
Apply the Law of Sines iteratively
Then Use the Ceva's theorem trigonometric form
a=30° isn't it?
you can also just give names to some of the other missing angles, and come up with N equations and N unknowns that you can solve for
(i just did it with N = 4, for example)
a is 30 degrees
how did you determine that?
well what is the total angle at vertex D?
how do you use ceva theorem in trigonometric form in this question?
yes
that was a question asking for a number, not a yes/no
the angles at A and C are 60, so what are the angles at B and D?

Are u trying to prove this?
yeah
Not entirely wrong, but you made some wrong steps
$\frac{2\left(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)-\sin^{2}\left(x\right)\right)}{2\sin\left(x\right)\cos\left(x\right)}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
it should be written like this
the 2 was multiplying the whole cot(2x)
so you have to put that in parenthesis
and when you do that, it'll cancel nicely
$\frac{\cos\left(x\right)}{\sin\left(x\right)}-\frac{\cos^{2}\left(x\right)-\sin^{2}\left(x\right)}{\sin\left(x\right)\cos\left(x\right)}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
so you'll be here
Now you need to convert them to a common denominator
A good candidate would be sin(x)cos(x) (So you'd just multiply the first fraction by cos(x) cos(x))
Somehow, you got sin^3(x) cos(x) here, which I dont understand how
yep that's absolutely wrong
Alright, try doing this then
and then remember that when you are subtracting fractions, you need to put the numerator in parenthesis again

Mine
send your question
Suppose
𝑈 = {(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑥 + 𝑦, 𝑥 − 𝑦, 2𝑥) ∈ 𝐅5 ∶ 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝐅}.
Find a subspace 𝑊 of 𝐅5 such that 𝐅5 = 𝑈 ⊕ 𝑊.
I might be missing out on something, because I do know what a direct sum is
I maybe don't understand it?
find a basis for U first
I don't know what spans and basis are
well damn.
That is on chapter 2 of linear algebra done right
btw what is F
I think it wants something else
It is implied to be a field
is F assumed to be one of R or C
it denotes either R or C
I think so, yeah
idk how to say it without giving the answer away but maybe here is a way you can reason about it intuitively:
for a vector in U, the first two coordinates can sort of "vary" "independently"
for the entire F^5, the same would be true of all five coordinates
try to think about what we could "add" to U to make all five coordinates "freely variable" like that
ah found it
Okay
There should be a way to remove the chains that x + y give to each other
That way, it can truly move around all the field
x - y and 2x also need that
right?
what
what chains 
x + y can't move freely if they are adding each other
you want each one to be indepent
let w = x + y. Maybe w - y = x could help solve this
it also works in the other direction
w - x = y
is this right?
no i think you are overthinking it
the thing is that x and y appear alone in the first two coords
surprisingly, only a couple of trivial ones (e.g. the xy plane and the z axis in R^3) and a nonexample
Yes
So we only need to think about the other components
$W = { (0, 0, w_3, w_4, ?) \in \mathbb{F}^5 }$
Would that work?
I don't know about 2x yet
just for x + y and x - y
No, but I have a rough idea of what it is conceptually
very poor conception of it
ok loosely speaking, how many degrees of freedom are there in U (how many of the coordinates can be specified independently)
W only needs to have 3 dimensions
and then how many will you need in W
right
3
so if you set the first two to zero (which is good), the other three need to be independently controllable
2
so you're gonna need 3 variables
Which means that using w twice isn't the right idea?
I should have separate variables?
try it and see!
andre
what might go in the ? slot
what's your thinking there, why do you want a constant?
I got my algebra wrong

I just want to remove that 2x
and just work with a variable outside of U
consider theorem 1.46
you just need W to be any subspace with dimension 3 that has trivial intersection with U
you've already set the first two coordinates to zero
what vectors in U have the first coordinates equal to zero?
Only one where x, y = 0
and what does that imply about the rest of the vector if x=y=0
copying for reference 𝑈 = {(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑥 + 𝑦, 𝑥 − 𝑦, 2𝑥) ∈ 𝐅5 ∶ 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝐅}.
if x = y= 0 then what is 2x?
what numerical value is 2x
Much simpler
2x = 2 (0) = 0
There you go
well are there any other vectors in U that have the first two coordinates equal to zero?
no
Well, this is taken for granted, since U is a subspace
good
Yeah
so you have started defining W by saying that the first two coordinates will be zero
so already you know W and U will only have the zero vector as intersection
now all you need to do is specify the other 3 coordinates so they're independent
(to get 3 dimensions)
how many variables are there
2
how many do you need to get 3 dimensions
3
so that can't work
what about now
yea that will work
but you don't even need the -2
because if c varies over all of F, then so does -2c, and vice versa
yea as soon as you set the first two coords to zero you know you're going to intersect trivially with U, so the rest of the definition of U doesn't really matter
you don't have to "cancel out" the other three coordinates when defining W, or anything like that
mmmkay
btw the solution is far from unique, there are infinitely many possibilities for W that will work
Yes
Yes
I got very tripped over by that fact
I am more satisfied now
just had to wrap my ideas up
Thanks!

Is this the most simplified it can be ?'
no
remember that the sine function is odd
so the t is positive ?
what
what is f(-x) if f is an odd function?
idk what an odd function is supposed to entail what does that mean to me
is this what it means ?
yea
btw not a good idea to trust ai in general
it's right this time but often is wrong but sounds right
yes
I searched this up on google
yeah the result seems like their generative ai
can I turn it off ?
idk but if you type -ai in the search bar it doesn't show up in the results
anyway you have -sint-sint
you can simplify this
-sint-a
what about the first one
would it be -a-a ?
yes

im not even sure how the counting goes here
i know there are 11 sets of points which can have either -1 or 1 as the y value but struggling to split cases
wdym 11 sets of points?
like {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)
what if you just start with putting f(x) = 1 for all integers x in [0,5]. can you count how many functions there are?
one
because setting any in between interval to 1 would join adjacent integers having the same value?
well not quite
ok yea that’s good enough i guess
my next question will be
f(0) = -1
f(x) = 1 for integers > 0
how many functions?
three..
can you give one
f(x) = 1 at x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and intervals (0, 1) and (2, 3)
f(x) = -1 at x = 0 and intervals (1, 2) and (3, 4) and (4, 5)
putting quantifiers after the statement they quantify is cursed
writing \forall in the first place is cured
sorry to interrupt, carry on
ok well on each interval, all values must be -1 or 1
so we could think about each possible way to assign the intervals, and then how many ways we can assign points there
i think that’s easier
like we assign -1 or 1 to each interval. whenever there is a change, we can assign either -1 or 1 to that point between the intervals. if there is no change between the intervals, only one choice
do you see what i mean?
yeah but how do i divide the cases
since the choices can be either 2 or 1 for a point depending on the placement
wait is f^2 iteration?
oh do i just split it like
- 4 points with 1 case
- 3 points with 1 case
and so on
well we just need to know how many strings of five -1s and 1s have 0 ‘changing points’, how many have 1, how many have 2, etc
ok yeah
the ones with 0 changing points are the ones that are all -1 or all 1
the ones with 1 changing point will be the ones that are 4 of a kind, with the first or last one different
no i think squared
since there was another simpler problem with this premise
f^2 is the function defined by f^2(x) = (f(x))^2
tis ok
the ones with 2 changing points will look like xyyyx or xyxxx (with the y anywhere in the interior)
must f be discontinuous at each integer?
yea
well i would hope so. i guess ‘only’ is not 100% clear on that
that would be quite a bit easier if it just meant must be continuous at non integer points
i'm guessing they included the word "all" to indicate that it must be discontinuous at every integer
yeah
that is what ‘discontinuous only at non integer points’ means but it just feels evil to write that
it IS an evil question
okay i somehow got the correct answer using that case splitting
this is plain torture bruh

that rhymed
|| 2*3^4 ||
hmm..
there are 2 choices at x=0 and 3 choices at x=1,2,3,4
Does discontinuous "only" at integers mean it's discontinuous precisely at the set of integers?
we're guessing yes
based on the answer, yes
should have written ‘at and only at’ smh
i guess my way was overcomplicated then
oh my LORD :facepalm
i might be a dumbass
that’s a lot better
instasolve 😭
oh yeah I see
you can put the value to match the left interval and then you have to move the right interval away. or you can put the value away from the left interval
and then choose either value for the right interval
ye
let f(x) be a function from [0,5] to C, discontinuous at and only at integers. Let f(x)^7=3
might as well make it like [0,10]

||42×48×...×48×6|| I think the same way
i love ‘at and only at’ sm
Imagine how messed up it would be if it meant f(f(x)) by f²
heh..
yeah i thought they meant f(f(x)) at first

Hi guys, yes this is a physic problem, yes I'm praying for someone smart to enlighten me. I'm trying to calculate the electric potential of a very thin rod at a specific position away from the rod as shown above. The problem with what I have done so far is that the integral seems to produce an extra meters^(-1) which is the units for electric field 💀 if anyone could point out any problems here pls do, and if any additional info is needed I can give 🙏
Youre forgetting the dx inside the integral
dx = metres
m^-1 * m = 1
Doesn't the dx integral result in a arcsinh which is unitless? That's the main problem I'm facing actually
no it results in a ln(something)
Oh yea that's the other form
Let me check that one real quick
Ooh yes the extra length appears there
Thanks for the help 🙏

want to sanitycheck my reasoning here, i'm not too mature with complex numbers ^^;
-# oh im cooked
claim that \rho is abelian subgrp of C^\times has been proven previously, mainly want to know if my homomorphism checks are okay (*and if my reason for welldefn of \phi^-1 holds up)
hi infinity
-# hi, im too scared of this
lol
i think it's alright 👍
look at the last step of the demonstration of the homomorphism property
Q/Z is an additive group
group op should be preserved no?
you should write $\phi((\mathbb{Z}+p/q)+(\mathbb{Z}+r/s))$
Axe
you have coset addition instead of mult

what would the answer be for this one?
check the signs properly
cos x is negative in 2nd and 3rd quadrants
is tan x positive in both these quadrants
the question is ill posed
"what is/are the possible values of tan x" would make the answer c)
no
but "tan x = ..." is impossible to answer
in 2nd quadrant is tan x positive or negative
negative
we can infer the meaning of the question even though its ill posed
and 3rd quadrant?
positive
ill posed questions are still bad questions
so it can be both negative and positive
so all of the above
I suggest to kisei to report it for bad wording
that makes sense
LMAOO
amen
yes 👍
thank you so much
not bad wording as in cursing xdddd just a question not written properly
tan(x) can't be equal to both -12/5 and 12/5
what is going on with the font
bro one of them was so chopped
1 sec
lemem show u
nvm i cant find itr
E) one of the above
They should have switched c and d
That would make it interesting
Nevermind it'd still be c
paradox
yeah 🙁
seems like they wanted to make more of logic question

Im sure this is obvious im just tired and haven't covered algebra in ages, but why is one 2x and one just x?
Wym 2x?
It's 2(x-2)(x-5/2)
i wonder where does 3/2 come from
Ye same 😭

Yeea idk
Probably from the other half of the screen
Im dead i might just look through the proper marking sceme
indeed it does
Huh
What's the context?
I need to find the three solutions for x
Indeed
The final answers I understand
Its just in general when solving quadratics why was only one 2x
wdym
Nvm I thought it was a division 💔
Til I saw this

Either you can guess the factorization from experience, or you use one of various techniques, like completing the square or using the quadratic formula
For 2x^2 - 9x + 10, you could guess that it's in the form (x + a)(2x + b) since it's 2x^2 + ...
Then to make 10 you could guess a = 2 and b = 5, or their opposites, or the other way around
Ah, thank you
Since you need -9x as well, -5 - 2*2 works
Grand
Otherwise just bring the 2 out, so 2(x^2 - 9/2x + 5) and try factoring that
Ok, thank you

im lowkey kind of confused what linear actually means
is it just a qualifer on the partial order that makes X a chain?
so like if X is a chain, then any two elements of it are comparable (which means some partial ordered must be used here)
and this partial order is considered linear
@cerulean ruin Has your question been resolved?
@cerulean ruin Has your question been resolved?
it is a qualifier on both the partial order and the set X
i think only if you restrict the definition of the partial order to X
or if X is the set that it's defined on

Graphing linear inequalities
I don't really understand this. The coordinate that satisfies the inequality is (8,2), and the equation is -8x-4y=-24. How do I tell what side is the right side to shade ?
I'll ping helpers <t:1769764020:R>
Shade the side the point that satisfies the inequality is on
hewo
I didn't really attend any inequality lessons
oh
so I don't really understand it fundamentally ngl
like me!!!
twins!!
ok iguess uhhh
ok
so the inequality basic
<
the bigger mouth
which is the right side is usually where the bigger number is
yeah I understand that
alr
I forgot what the working out was for it to be 8,2 hold on
I wrote it down on the slide there
so that inequality is true
but what relevance is the inequality to the graph?
-76 isn't exactly a coordinate
It's substituted the coordinates into the provided equation
2 lt ?? what's LT?
oh
hold on my brain not braining
What grade are you in if you don't mind me asking or are you post-grad ?
ts supposed to be easy for me, i always scored full marks
im sec 4
this is sec 1 work
or is it just one of those things where you've crammed other stuff into your brain so more basic stuff gets pushed out lol
so the last time i did this was like 3 yrs ago
ahh ok
yea something like that
but i'll try
I'm in year 11 (Australian) but this is yr10 since i missed a lot of year10 work
Hold on it has a tutorial video
you want to put it in y>mx+c form
but I'm trying to understand the concept more than the answer
Well the line is there
but the thing is I don't really understand the uhh where to shade
thats better than 50% of people i meet here
i think what you want to do is assume that y = 0 to get the
hold on
no I don't think that's it
my brain is fahhked up
ye
im studying trigo rn so everything is out of my head
(also I'm australian so I have absolutely no idea what sec 4 is)
i think its better to watch the video than
16 yrs old
me too lol
10th grade
what i did this when i was 13
man idk
what time is it for you
QLD / AEST (7:03 pm)
ohh hi again !! You helped me w my last question lol
oh did i 😭 hello!
I recognise the shrimp pfp lol
it's a cuttlefish!!!
Ohhhh
so cool
Man I've only ever seen dried out cuttlefish (used to feed them to our pet birds)
hewo
The reason I'm not following the video is cause it's for a positive number
pls help my friend
& it's a greaterthan rather than a smaller than
i forgotten how to do it
omg i thought this was discussion LMAO
it's ok lol
No lol it just turned into one lowkey
what's the question
please i need this my brain kinda not braining
^^^
im sorry for wasting your time
Nah it's all good
I have the memory of a goldfish bru it's fine (metaphorically. i know goldfish have decent memories)
well the right side to shade is the one that contains a point that satisfies your inequality
so -76 ?
But this shades -76, no?
Would that be on the X or Y axis?
what's "-76"
oh wait no i get what you mean
because we substituted the values into the equation
that means it's supposed to shade said coordinates?
is that it ??
yup

I was really overcomplicating it LOL
Ok I get it now tysm!!
I might reopen this channel in a sec tho since im still working on the module
ofc! you can just keep it open
Ohh alright
check out desmos, it can plot these inequalities easily
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/9k1me9977c
Yeah but it's not necessarily about plotting, it's about understanding the reasoning behind it for me
ye but it can really help with intuition if you play around with it yourself
I'll keep working thru the modules for now but I've fiddled with it a little bit in class
new question !!
Is this supposed to be a simultaneous equation?
I forgot how they're formatted
Do you just substitute x or y with 0 ?
because there's no values provided this time
no simultaneous equation here. just plot the line y=3x-3
if it asks you to plot y >= 3x-3, pick a random point above or below the line and test for the inequality: if it works, then shade that area, if it doesn't then shade the other one
random point?
the easiest point to test here is (0,0) for example
wdym by this btw
oh wait isn't this literally just a linear thing
yes
well you do remember how to plot a line right?
Yeah
Just did lol
how does the inequality relate to it tho?
that confused me a little bit
ahh wait nvm it's multi parts
yes
So is it just
u just sub the y value in?
wait isn't the x also important because it's not a parallel line
both x and y yes
i mean 90 degree line*
Yep
Oh wait
I forgot there was an x
in the equation
LOL
im forgetting the most basic things today i swear 💀

if there wasn't x it would be a horizontal line 
ok well what did you get after the substitutions here
oh wait
ohh
substituting
i forgot it gave coordinates again
wait
so like
if it's -1 > -6
doesn't that mean there's just two integers
not coordinates
there's two points but only one set of coordinates ?
OH
oh wait it's an equation
oHHhhHH
ok back to basics im just gonna put my working here since idk if it's right just yet
dude a baby lizard just crawled onto my arm
I thought it was a bug and I shook it off 💀
average australia things
why are you doing x=0?
oh wait
so is it that one point goes at 0, c (y-intercept)
and the other one goes at the given coordinates?
oh ok but you have m and c now
It was always there
does M get used?
Doesn't that mean it's just 3 up 1 right?
I did that but it's wrong
wait no i think i didnt flip it or something
is the line correct ?
yes
wait what on earth is the other set of coordinates fo
oh wait
is the other set of coordinates for like
where to shade ?
wait but
where do the coordinates get inserted into the equation
yes, what did you get when you subsituted the points above?
is it on the right side or left side of the equation ?
lemme check
it shouldn't be a single number, it should be some inequality between numbers that is either true or false
-6 i think i erased it
let's go through this again step by step
uhh it's true
you sure?
oh wait
is -3 bigger than -6
😭
💀
and you got a true statement by plugging in (-1, -3)
so (-1, -3) must be inside the solution set
can you plot where (-1, -3) is on this graph
So how do I tell what side it should be with with the > again ?
so we got this but how do I tell with the > thingy
so you need to shade the other part
but how do I tell whether it should cover or not cover ?
like how does the > thing work in this context
because when you plug in (1, -3), you get -3 >= 0, which is false, so that point should not be covered
and if you plug in (-1, -3), you get -3 >= -6, which is true, so that point should be covered
no I mean how does the > function work
wdym
how do you use that to tell what regions should be covered/ujncovered
just in the context of fundamentals, ignoring the question altogether
you do it by testing different points
Isn't it possible to determine just from the equation / information provided alone ??

it is possible, i personally find it easier to just test. to go off of the infomation you need to rearrange it to be in the form y >= mx+c or y <= mx+c
which you already have
i am just not sure if this is what the question/teacher wants you to do
mmgmgasgdkjgj
Uhhhh
I mean like
how do you tell if it should or should not be shaded just based on the > thing ??? I'm still so confused by that
like based on the satisfied inequality
you can determine the region of y >= 3x-3 if you plot the line y = 3x-3 and see that y >= 3x-3 means you shade everything above the line 3x-3
but sometimes I won't have the graph to work with, right?
I don't want to rely on visualisations if that means I don't understand it without
there's nothing wrong with working with visualizations
but yes which is when you test points
$y \geq 3x - 3$ so the trend should be on the top because as you go top, the $y$ increases
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
that's how i usually do
ok winding back, do you understand what the shade represents?
What ??????
like what is it

I have absolutely NO idea what that is
(the 1 divided by 0 equals infinity thing)
I honestly can't tell you 💀
ok well there we go that's the issue lol
so this is the graph of $y \geq 3x - 3$
I'm so confused what is this and how is this relevant
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
these are just points that satisfy the condition above
which happens to be the shaded area
the $ stuff is for writing math with the TeXit bot, you can ignore the text and look at the images it sends
OHhhh
and as you go up, the $y$ increases
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
so that's why the shaded part is above the $y = 3x - 3$ graph
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
I'm still not understanding this icl 😭
tell us what do you not understand about?
what are you confused about?
Shading in inequalities
You explained it fine probably it's just that I'm not getting the way you explained it
