Do you not change the bounds when making a u substitution for a improper integral?

woeful anvil
#

Asking because they made a u sub

#

Then put the u back in

umbral dome
#

you can do it either way

woeful anvil
#

I thought it’s suppose to be like

fast peak
#

well they skipped over the entire u sub

woeful anvil
fast peak
#

it basically didnt even happen

woeful anvil
#

Would this be wrong

fast peak
#

so where should they change the bounds

woeful anvil
umbral dome
#

you can take the antiderivative any way you like, including u-sub, and as long as you get an antiderivative with x out then you can use the original bounds

#

you can change the bounds into u and not go back to x but they chose not to

woeful anvil
#

I see

woeful anvil
#

Nothing is wrong with what I’m doing

#

Right

umbral dome
#

i would recommend you change the bounds as soon as you do the substitution, it's confusing to have an integral wrt u with the bounds still in x. but the bounds you get at the end are correct

woeful anvil
#

Thx

#

could someone explain how we get the domain here

#

the domain of lnx is 0,infinty?

#

but when we subract it from x

#

what would it be

umbral dome
#

the domain doesn't change

#

all the domain cares about is whether or not the expression is defined, so in this case the only part which could be undefined is ln(x)

sacred bluff
#

okay

#

so like can i think it as after i have lnx defined

#

its like a linear polynomial

#

NO

#

eh

#

or like if it was a linear polynomial i could take all real values but since i have lnx here i take only the x parts that are definifng lnx

indigo frost
#

to get the domain you just check every expression

#

\begin{align*}
&for \ x \ its \ in \ \mathBB{R} , \ so \ Df = (-\infty,+\infty) \
&for \ \ln(x) \ \ its \ defined \ in (0, +\infty) \
&the \ domain \ of \ the \ function \ is \ the \ intersection \ of \ both \ domains \
&\rightarrow (0,+\infty)
\end{align*}

Hi!
Prove that limit n->inf e^x = (1 + x/n)^n

umbral dome
#

that doesn't seem right

iron cradle
#

the statement isnt correct, its limit as n goes to infinity

umbral dome
#

also the e^x should be the result of the limit, not the expression whose limit is taken

stiff musk
#

how you prove this depends on how you have defined e^x

thorn marten
#

Prove that e^x = limit n->inf (1 + x/n)^n

urban jacinth
#

Hmm

rapid rain
thorn marten
#

We know that e = limit n->inf (1 + 1/n)^n

#

x = a natural number.

stiff musk
#

if you used the series definition then this is a full-page proof from rudin (so probably a 2-page proof if you write out the details)

urban jacinth
#

Or rather the opposite actually

umbral dome
brittle parcel
#

define
exp(x) = lim_{n to infty) (1+x/n)^n

rapid rain
#

(1+1/n)^(xn) = (1+x/n + xC2/n^2 + ...)^n

brittle parcel
#

otherwise you have to use approximation of irrationals by rationals and it's more work than hyou're probably expected to do

rapid rain
brittle parcel
#

but, wait, that's what youre trying to prove, so it cant be the definition youre using

thorn marten
#

natural number

brittle parcel
#

I missed that, well, scratch what I said about irrational numbers then!

rapid rain
thorn marten
#

Oh.,

#

1/n^2 is negligible for values of n - > inf

rapid rain
#

now all that's left to do is to show the 1/n^2, 1/n^3, etc... terms are irrelevant

rapid rain
#

but that's the idea

#

let's name A = 1 + x/n and B = (the rest in the parenthesis)

#

(A+B)^n = A^n + ...

thorn marten
#

Oh

#

Can I show my work?

rapid rain
#

sure

thorn marten
#

e^x = limit n->inf (1 + 1/n)^(nx)
Let nx = d
Clearly, d -> inf
Then e^x = limit (d,n)->inf (1 + 1/(d/x))^(nx) = limit d->inf (1 + x/d)^(d)

Hey, so I don't understand the second term on the righthand side of
dP/dR

plucky remnant
#

Questions for Term 2:
**☆**Why is the term negative?
**☆**Why is the R multiplied by 2?
**☆**Why is the sum of all resistances cubed?

#

I'm using quotient

#

To see what happens

vast fossil
#

They applied product rule, namely, viewed P(R) as R * V^2/(r + R)^2

#

The factor of 2 comes from power rule

#

Same answer to the third question

Very useful

sudden condor

then taking the limit should yield a result

sudden condor
#

even without lopital

sudden condor
north temple
#

yes

sudden condor
#

then yea diffretiating the numerator and denominator

#

will give cos(x)/1

#

cos(0)/1=1

fathom saddle
#

I think you are still on the cos(x) problem

north temple
fathom saddle
#

Plug in the limit:
sin(0)/1 = 0

#

Which is correct for 1 - cos(x) / x

north temple
#

so i can do it from the graph and use lopital rule

sudden condor
north temple

so how to write the squeeze theorem

We prove the limit of sinx/x as x goes to 0 equals 1 using the squeeze theorem and a geometric argument involving sectors and triangles on the unit circle. #calculus1 #apcalculus

fathom saddle
#

Yes if you want to prove these limits, you need to do so geometrically

#

L'hopital is technically circular. You need the derivative to get the limit, but you need this limit to know the derivative

Not a big deal if you just forgot the limit though

# hasty sinew Is it wrong if x is congruent to 11 mod 13?

It’s not wrong because gcd(5,13) = 1 tells us that there exists a multiplicative inverse which we can find through Bezout’s lemma (or Euclidean algorithm) but you already found it. I’m pretty sure this is the only unique solution mod13, but you can double check by quickly testing 0 to 12 in x and seeing which works.

A function is a type of relation, except it does not allow one-to-many mappings.
Not for specific problem just for conformation whether my argument is TRUE r not

rapid rain
#

you can view a function as its graph if you want, but then it's a little bit more complicated than that

#

so indeed you can view a function f:E->F as a subset of E x F

bitter granite
#

I wnt to know in mapping perspective

rapid rain
#

call that subset G

#

but you need for each e in E, there exists exactly ONE g in G such that g = (e, something)

#

so it's not just "one to many" that's excluded

#

there's also "one to nothing" excluded

#

if we can call it that

bitter granite

rapid rain
#

functions are relations yes

#

not all relations are functions

#

for a relation to be a function, you need it to not be "one to many", and not be "one to nothing"

been looking at this for a solid hour now and i am not finding a mistake. Its all gaussian integrals and some feynman tricks.

#

result should have been -2/pi e^(-2|α|²) (1-4|α|²)

loud haven
# loud haven

seeing a mistake here now. the feynman trick is missing a minus. This results in losing the first term in the brackets, thats not better

#

feynman integration fixed, but still bad result

open lantern

Hello!
Can someone help with orientated angles? I'm stuck on part 5 and idk what to do

open lantern
#

I thought about switching it from (DB,EB) to (-BD,-BE)

#

But I'm not sure how to solve it from there.

#

Is it 2π - (BD,BE)?

#

Or is (DB,EB) the same as (BD,BE)

#

ABD = π/6 = 30° (given)
EBA = 60° (equilateral triangle)

(DB,EB) = (BD,BE)
-ve sign (it's clockwise)

Thus, the answer is
-π/2 + 2kπ

#

Is this correct

torn jolt
#

Helloes am doing some prep for entrance exams and I'm currently stuck with this equation, translated it goes something along the lines of "in the set of all real numbers are all solutions to the equation:"

torn jolt
#

tried a few things I first tried to use the exponent rule I think it is called converting it to

#

which got me to 10^2000 = x which wasn't right so then I tried to separate the 1000x value and then use the rule giving me this

#

which I tried to manipulate a bit but couldn't get a good easily solvable value

#

also tried to divide the whole thing by x from the start but I just ended up getting logx/x = 1000

#

<@&286206848099549185>

I am not sure how to algebraically solve it

#

but like aren't you provided with 4 options?

oh wait

forgot to ^2

#

lemme see again

#

yeah still doesnt seem to match

spice knot
torn jolt
#

seems to jusst say log so I assume base 10

spice knot
#

log(x) log(x) = log(1000x^2)

#

with log(1000x^2), how would you simplify this log

torn jolt
#

log(1000) + log(x^2) right? then turning it to log (1000) + 2*log(x) or am I doing something incorrect?

spice knot
#

thats correct

#

then log(1000) is?

torn jolt
#

OH log10(1000) = 3 right?

spice knot
#

yep

torn jolt
#

oh snap my small brain didn't realize T.T

#

lemme try again

#

OKAY

#

is correct!!

#

Thankiess so much!

upper galleon
#

I need to find the area that's bounded by two polar curves
r = 1 and r= 2 cos(theta)

Can I use double integral for polar to tackle this problem? I'm not sure about the bounds for r

Is it from 0 to 1 or from 2cos(theta) to 1

rapid rain
#

if you chose theta first, so independently of r, then r's bounds will depend on theta

#

if you chose r first, so independently of theta, then theta's bounds will depend on r

#

(I suggest the first option)

#

so now you have to find the true bounds of theta

upper galleon
#

The theta is -pi/3 to pi/3 (?)

rapid rain
#

While I'd agree that on this angle interval, r can exist between 2cos(theta) and 1

#

but that's not the only angles that are in the area between the polar curves

rapid rain
#

Right now you're describing this green sector

upper galleon
#

ah yeah, I understand

rapid rain
#

also it's better to see that on this sector, r will vary from 0 to 1

#

and not from 2cos(theta) to 1

#

what about the leftover area? how to describe it?

#

what's the angle range and what's the radius range?

upper galleon
#

I think it's very close to -pi/2 to pi/2 ?

Sorry I'm new to this polar things 🙂

Prove that there exists a continuous bijection $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$, whose inverse $f^{-1}$ is also continuous, such that $f(2x)=f(x)+[f(x)]^3$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$.

modern horizon
#

But I just need to prove it exists.

rapid rain
#

I have a feeling that you can just pick whatever you want between something like [1/2,1), like a straight line

#

and then pick a nice enough function so that it connects for each interval of the form [2^n,2^(n+1))

#

Oh I just looked in helpers lounge and someone got the idea before me xddd

#

anyways if anyone wants to explain that

thick hedge
modern horizon
#

o.o

modern horizon
#

<@&286206848099549185>

rapid rain
#

Since f(2^n x) is determined entirely by f(x) for every x and n

#

you only need to know f on some interval like [1/2,1) or [1,2)

#

so now just pick some appropriate values such that when you "stitch" those intervals together

#

f is continuous and, let's say increasing

#

then f(0) = 0 is for sure

#

and take f(-x) = -f(x) to keep the same monotonicity for the negative reals

#

so let's say

#

f(x) = x for x in [1,2) works for example

modern horizon
#

@rapid rain So like.. Let $S={\frac{k}{n}:k\in\mathbb{Z}, n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $g$ defined on $S$. We have that $g$ is a strictly increasing and unbounded bijection. Since $S$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$, we can extend $g$ continuously to $\mathbb{R}$ by $f=\lim_{s\in S}g(s)$. By the strict monotonicity and the continuity, $f^{-1}$ is also continuous. Q.E.D.?

glossy valveBOT
#

(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ)

rapid rain
#

uhhhhhhhhhh

#

no

rapid rain
#

let x in (0,infinity)

#

there exists $t \in [1,2)$ and $n \in \bZ$ such that $x = 2^nt$

glossy valveBOT
#

rafilou is not not born in 2003

rapid rain
#

we thus let $f(x) = g^n(t)$

glossy valveBOT
#

rafilou is not not born in 2003

rapid rain
#

here g^n is to be taken as g composed with itself n times

#

g^0 is the identity

#

and g^(-n) is the inverse of g composed with itself n times, n > 0

#

then let f(0) = 0 and f(-x) = -f(x) to complete the values of f

modern horizon
#

D:

#

Qs, is there something wrong with my construction? O.O

rapid rain
#

first of all it seems like you let S = Q the set of rationals

#

and you suppose "g" that works well is defined on that set

#

you haven't defined what g is so I'm having a hard time believing you already

#

then you said g is a bijection

#

between S and S?

#

and is that even true?

#

then you state that we can extend it continuously to R

#

why?

rapid rain
#

I don't know how you would do that

#

and what about everything else I listed

#

so yeah, there are some things wrong with how your tried to construct it

modern horizon
#

No, from the answer below, no uniform continuity is required

strange basalt
#

In one of my class today , our sir gave us this question

strange basalt
#

He told us to set all the coeff and constant to zero if the questions mentions a polynomial of degree suppose n
and it states the number of roots the given polynomial has is >n

#

i dont understand its implication

#

why are we creating a zero function
what does this question even mean

#

Is there a framing error?

stiff musk
#

the key fact is that a non-constant polynomial of degree N has at most N roots

strange basalt
#

yeah thats in my knowledge box

stiff musk
#

so if the given polynomial is not constant, the equation has at most 2 solutions

#

thus it must be constant if there are going to be 3 (or more) solutions

#

and the right hand side is zero, so that constant must be zero

#

and the only way that happens is if all three coefficients of the polynomial are zero

strange basalt
#

oh yeah i can see that yeah

stiff musk
#

(in fact there will of course be infinitely many solutions in that case, not just 3)

strange basalt
#

oh the key fact to note is that it states will have three solution , not atmost three i belive?

stiff musk
#

yea, your sir should have said "3 or more" really

#

yeah that cleared up the mess , thanks for the perspective!!!

spring bay
#

how do I do this? I’m not sure how to start

ornate bobcat
#

Do you know, what's the equation of a line ?

spring bay
#

y=mx+b

ornate bobcat
#

Oh wait, you need to ketch not to derive hmm

spring bay
#

nvm sketch too

carmine minnow
#

just set x=t

#

(i believe you are looking for parametric equations?)

#

but there are other ones which might be even easier to state

spring bay
carmine minnow
#

how to change y=f(x) into parametric equations for any f
x=t
y=f(t)

#

of course, this is probably not the intended method

spring bay
#

should I like find the equation of the line first

ornate bobcat
#

Ok that works but is that what the instructor wants : )

carmine minnow
#

(and there is an easier way)

spring bay
#

soo i don’t think he’ll mind

carmine minnow
#

the question only asks for a parametric system

ornate bobcat
#

Good point

carmine minnow
#

and obviously it's not unique

ornate bobcat
#

You know what's m in your formula right?

ornate bobcat
spring bay
#

is that like the parent function

ornate bobcat
spring bay
#

actually idk what im talking about
cuz like usually when I solve parametric systems, it’ll tell me to find the parent function

ornate bobcat
#

You used the function
y = mx + c
And derived the equation of a line without knowing what's m in the equation?

ornate bobcat
#

Generally m is the slope between 2 points

#

Which is calculated by
$$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

spring bay
glossy valveBOT
#

Sherif Player

ornate bobcat
#

Yeah

#

And yeah you substitute the a point in the original equation to calculate c
And vowala you got the equation

#

After you got the equation you can do as Element118 said

spring bay
ornate bobcat
#

Set x=t
And turn any x in the original y equation into t

spring bay
#

y=3t-5?

ornate bobcat
#

Wrong replay

#

But yeah yeah you can stop here

#

And call it a day

#

If you wanted the systematic way
In parametric equations of second order you have 2 variables
X and Y

#

$$x = x_0 + at$$
$$y = y_0 + bt$$

glossy valveBOT
#

Sherif Player

ornate bobcat
#

Where
$(x_0, y_0)$ is the starting point
And $(a,b)$ is a direction victor starting from that point

glossy valveBOT
#

Sherif Player

ornate bobcat
#

So all you have to do is to get a direction vector from the 2 points

#

How do you think we can get it

spring bay
ornate bobcat
#

A vector that points into a certain/wanted direction from a certain point

spring bay
#

(5-2,10-1) = (3,9)?

ornate bobcat
#

Yes

#

At what point do you think this starts at

spring bay
ornate bobcat
#

Generally a vector starting at a and going to b
Is calculated via b - a

#

So

#

What you calculated is a vector going from one of the 2 points to the other

#

What do you think is it

spring bay
#

I’m confused 😭
cuz I thought direction vectors doesnt have a starting point

#

or r u talking about the line

#

(2,1)

ornate bobcat
#

Vectors have a starting point

ornate bobcat
#

But it is actually the starting point of the vector

fathom saddle
#

You can move that starting point, but it's helpful to sometimes give a vector a starting point

spring bay
#

x = 2 + 3t
y = 1+ 9t
?

ornate bobcat
#

That's the solution of Equation118

spring bay
#

can I use that method for similar questions like this? like if it’s a ray instead of a line

ornate bobcat
#

Hi

full forumBOT
sharp osprey
#

and it says "If (x,y) doesn't equal 0"

#

to figure out if it is 0 if (x,y) = 0

#

If I wanted to use polar coordinates

#

would I have to take the limit from both the left and right

#

or just one

kindred parcel
#

sorry, just for clarification, is it asking you to find values for which f(x,y)=0?

#

and the definition is just this and the function is 0 at (x,y)=(0,0), right?

sharp osprey
#

apparently that was some kind of notation

#

they just put a 0 there and it means the rest?

kindred parcel
#

I see. ok, well, then it is equal 0 at (0, 0) and whenever $x^3+6y^3=0$

glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

sharp osprey
#

f(0,0) = 0

#

I think they want me to show

kindred parcel
#

well

#

that's by definition

#

the function is defined that way

#

you cut off the right side of the function definition I think

#

but it'd only be sensible for it to be defined that way

sharp osprey
#

yes the right side says if (x,y) isn't equal to 0

#

and under that

#

it says (x,y) = (0,0)

kindred parcel
#

I figured

sharp osprey
kindred parcel
#

so then f(0,0)=0 by definition

#

right?

sharp osprey
#

I am not sure what you mean by definition

#

I am supposed to show it

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

sry I think I am mostly to blame

steel nest
# sharp osprey

without more context, this notation with brackets defines f(x,y) in two cases, but you cropped the picture so i’m not 100% sure

sharp osprey
#

it isn't in English I will take a noncropped pic

#

om just means if

kindred parcel
glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

Only reason

steel nest
sharp osprey
#

I thought maybe it was standard to write it that way

#

so people would understand anyway

#

It was my bad

#

I was wrong

#

We can move on

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

^

#

I haven't said I disagree

#

Anyway

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
kindred parcel
#

no

#

the two cases are when $f(x,y)=0$ and $f(x,y)\neq 0$

sharp osprey
#

That's what the original question was

glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

kindred parcel
kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

But to show it, don't I have to take the limit from both sides?

#

Or just one?

kindred parcel
#

limit??

sharp osprey
#

Yes, limit

kindred parcel
#

there's no limit at all

#

you're looking at the value (0,0)

#

I'm beginning to think that you explained the question wrong

sharp osprey
#

but the function isn't defined

#

at (0,0)

kindred parcel
#

could you give what the original question was in exact words?

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

How do I see that?

#

I am dividing by 0?

kindred parcel
#

it's defined to be $0$ at $(0,0)$

glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

kindred parcel
glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

kindred parcel
#

but when $(x,y)=(0,0)$, it is defined to be 0

glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

kindred parcel
#

I can't really uh... say anything other than that

#

that's just how the function is defined

sharp osprey
#

Okay

#

I have to apologise

#

I missed something essential to the question...

#

Can we start over?

#

I'm sorry.

kindred parcel
#

if it says "the function behaves this way" and your question is "why does it behave this way," well, then the answer has to be "because when we said how the function behaves, we said that it behaves this way"

sharp osprey
#

I totally missed what was the question, I thought the entire question itself was just this image

#

The actual question is clear

kindred parcel
#

well the image is a function definition

#

it's not a question

steel nest
# sharp osprey And the two cases are for 0+ and 0-?

no the function is defined by two cases if (x,y) = (0,0) this notation say we impose that f(x,y) = 0 and if the imput (x,y) is not (0,0) then it’s the fraction. imo with what you have showed there is no question just a function definition

#

i type slow it seems

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

And it is to investigate if f is continuous for (x,y) = (0,0)

sharp osprey
kindred parcel
#

||it's not continuous||

sharp osprey
#

Sorry

kindred parcel
#

oh wait hold up am i wrong

#

wait a sec I am wrong I think

sharp osprey
#

From single variable calculus we had to take the limit from the left and right

#

but the person does it from only one side using polar coordinates

#

is it just because cos and sin are periodic?

sharp osprey
#

I swear that's how you found out if something was continuous or at least one way

kindred parcel
#

this is a function with a 2d domain $\R^2$

steel nest
#

you can approach (0,0) in many different way in R^2

glossy valveBOT
#

00100000

sharp osprey
#

or wait

kindred parcel
sharp osprey
#

but what was all the stuff about 0+ and 0- then?

kindred parcel
#

you mean from single variable calculus?

sharp osprey
#

yes

kindred parcel
#

well, that's when your domain is 1d

#

right?

#

if it's 1d, then you can approach a point from 2 directions

#

but in 2d, you can approach it from infinitely many directions, right?

sharp osprey
#

that is what i was specifically asking about

kindred parcel
#

because now your domain can be visualized as a plane

sharp osprey
#

sorry if that unclear

kindred parcel
#

does that make intuitive sense?

steel nest
sharp osprey
#

for single variable

sharp osprey
kindred parcel
#

if not, we'd have to probably start getting our hands dirty with some epsilons and deltas, but idt ur class is going to use that

sharp osprey
#

but

#

for single variable

#

we can use right and left limits

#

0+ 0-

kindred parcel
#

so there's not much else I can say without getting dirty with definitions

#

sorry

kindred parcel
steel nest
sharp osprey
#

tbh I don't have a good mental image of what that would mean

#

but I can ask my tutor on Wednesday about that next week

steel nest
#

for a function of two variable, you can approach (0,0) in infinitely many way and if two of these way give different answer the function is discontinuous

sharp osprey
#

he used polar coordinates and substituted them into the function

#

and for some reason r is approacing 0+

#

i dont get why it is 0+ only

#

he said because r is greater than equal to 0

steel nest
sharp osprey
#

and i dont get why (x,y) approaching (0,0) swapped to r approaching 0+

#

i get he had to swap variables

sharp osprey
#

^ idk what that means

steel nest
#

rays

sharp osprey
#

Rays

#

Okay I am lost

#

lol

steel nest
#

fixed theta but r getting smaller makes a line getting close of (0,0) in R^2

sharp osprey
#

thats wild

#

since r is the radius

#

it is like i am

#

shrinking a circle

#

around (0,0)

#

and you said there was no left or right

#

but that circle is everywhere

#

left right up down

#

so i really am approaching that point everywhere

#

when using polar coordinates

#

when r is approaching 0

#

but why 0+

#

why not just 0?

steel nest
#

meh you only approach (0,0) using lines

sharp osprey
#

i mean an infinitely short line might as well be a point

steel nest
#

but you could approach (0,0) in other funky way

sharp osprey
#

how if the radius is coming from origo

steel nest
#

and you can come up with function such that for all lines going to the origin the limit has the same value but for some other curve like a parabolla a different value

#

lines don’t cover all cases

sharp osprey
#

okay then maybe I am misunderstanding how to look at the ray

sharp osprey
steel nest
#

yeah

#

you approach (0,0) with r tends to 0 in polar coord with a fix theta

sharp osprey
#

is this the wrong way

#

to look at it

#

and that circle shrinks

#

when r is shrinking

#

and it is because r is approaching 0

#

do i really have to view them as rays

#

i assume you drew

#

4 rays instead of infinite rays

#

or are there

#

specifically 4 rays?

#

ah

#

okay then that isn't a circle shrinking in on 0

sharp osprey
#

because of this comment earlier

#

infinite many directions

#

but now there are 4 directions

#

we can approach from?

#

let me ask you this

steel nest
#

argh the emote is a missclick there are infinite rays

sharp osprey
#

if i had a third variable

#

would i have 8 directions

#

?

steel nest
#

each theta gives you a different ray

sharp osprey
steel nest
#

and then for that theta you make r go to 0

sharp osprey
#

shrinking in on 0

#

actually see

#

it would genuienly be a circle

#

with an area

#

when it gets to 0

#

it might as well be a point

#

i am covering the whole point of interest with my very small circle and thus i can tell how it behaves no matter the direction we're coming from

#

why is it 0+ though

#

since r changes

#

like depending on which angle we have

#

it would be coming in from every side

#

i thought it would have to be approaching 0

#

and not 0+

sharp osprey
#

but there shouldnt be a left or right

#

r is a length so it is always positive, is that why it is 0+

#

it doesnt make intuitive sense to me

#

from single variable that + or - was talking about a direction

steel nest
steel nest
#

in that case your function is continuous i think

#

not in this case

sharp osprey
#

right because

#

he could break out r later
