real spindle
#

Suppose in image a) I wanted to do the opposite. Meaning doing it for a instead of u. That’s confusing the heck out of me even trying to draw it.

tender gate
#

what

#

do you not understand the description of a?

real spindle
#

In the textbook here they’re projecting one onto the other etc

#

I just wonder what if I was asked to do the opposite

#

Instead of going from Q to the tip of U and drawing a perpendicular down there

tender gate
#

as in if you had a and you want to find u?

real spindle
#

Imagine that the first dot said drop a perpendicular from the tip of a to the line through through u

#

Starting from there I eventually get confused even trying to make sense of drawing it

tender gate
#

oh

#

well in that case then you would need to scale u by a large amount

real spindle
#

Yea that’s my first step

tender gate
#

since a is far and you need a perpendicular that means you basically create a triangle

real spindle
#

Yes so I draw a dotted line from the tip of a to where it intersects u

#

After that I’m confused

tender gate
#

yeah you can draw 2 straight lines but in that case you be projecting a onto u

real spindle
#

I’d just like to go through the second and third dot together

#

With the situation we’re currently in

tender gate
#

what they are asking for is to project u onto a

real spindle
#

By dot I mean the three key points or the steps in the textbook

tender gate
#

and you want to project a onto u

real spindle
#

Yes

#

Just for théories sake

tender gate
#

well yeah you could do that

real spindle
#

Idk why I get stuck after drawing my perpendicular

#

I scale u a bunch

#

I draw a line from tip of a to u

#

Then I’m stuck

#

Basically I don’t know how to construct w2 here

#

I get that my scaled up u becomes w1

tender gate
#

so this

real spindle
#

That’s what’s in the textbook for the w ones

#

But for my situation

#

What’s in red would be part of w1

tender gate
#

wait what

#

you want to have a on u correct?

#

oh wait you want to do this?

real spindle
tender gate
real spindle
#

Wait what

tender gate
#

you want w1 to be the tilted line

#

i don't think i understood what you want to do

#

you want what i have as u to be w1?

real spindle
#

I’m just following the exact three steps that are in the textbook but replacing the first line with the line I gave you earlier.

tender gate
#

since you want to drop a perpendicular of a onto u

#

and in order to do that you would need to scale up your vector u which is a sum of w1 and w2

#

since vector addition goes like this

#

i don't think you can do what you want to do

#

since it wouldn't make too much sense

#

following vector addition you can't have w1 going the same direction as u

#

take w1 as the x coordinate of the vector and w2 as the y coordinate of the vector

#

and think of the tip of it as a point

#

and every vector is a line that goes from the origin to that point

real spindle
tender gate
#

yeah no that wouldn't work

real spindle
#

That’s following the steps 1 and 2

#

Then step 3 would have to be

#

a-w1

#

Which would give me something like

#

Cause a - w1 would be

#

From tip of a

#

In opposite direction of w1

#

So parallel to my w1

tender gate
#

this is something of how you should see vectors

real spindle
#

I’d have my w2

tender gate
#

in this case w2 would be the dotted line

#

since your vectors are in R^2 you can't have that type of orthogonal vector

#

w2 in your case would be the perpendicular line from a to u

real spindle
#

Ok thanks

I need help with my math homework

pearl pondBOT
upper latch
#

I need help with this one

#

How y'all do this

#

Im dumb ah hell

rugged jolt
#

okay. i'll get you started with the definition of an arithmetic sequence. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each term differs by the previous one by a set number (ex: 1,3,5,7,...)

#

and a geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is the previous term multiplied by a set value (ex: 2,4,8,16,32...)

#

and a series is where you add each term in a sequence together

#

the fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which the subsequent term is the previous two terms added (starts as 0 then 1, so 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,...)

#

the harmonic sequence is the sequence consisting of all fractions with 1 in the numerator, or the sequence of inverses (1,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5 ...)

upper latch
#

Could I ask my question???

rugged jolt
#

yes?

#

you don't have to ask to ask a question

#

go ahead

upper latch
#

So for geometric

#

It's 2 4 8 16 right???

#

So is 3 6 9 12 15

rugged jolt
#

no, that would be arithmetic

#

generally, a geometric series is $a_0a^n$ where $a_0$ is an initial value

naive dirge
pearl pondBOT
tender gate
#

yooo

#

circuit

naive dirge
#

it asks for the current on each resistor respectively.

#

I'm fked up.

#

help me please

tender gate
#

you need to find the total current in the circuit first

naive dirge
#

I got 3/2

tender gate
#

how did you get that

#

i did not get 3/2

#

unless i did it wrong

#

but i got 3

#

on the right you have the 4 and 2 ohm resistors

naive dirge
tender gate
#

no

naive dirge
#

am I wrong

#

why

tender gate
#

do you know about series and parallel connections

naive dirge
#

sure

tender gate
#

well some resistors are in parallel here

naive dirge
#

bro, I'm so stress

tender gate
#

no need

naive dirge
#

it feel like im detach a bomb

tender gate
#

lmao

#

nah dw about it

naive dirge
#

I think these things on the blue encircled group can be considered as one.

tender gate
#

perfect yes

naive dirge
#

and then the red and blue resistor are parallel

tender gate
#

yes

naive dirge
#

therefore we can consider the blue and red as one and simplify the situation.

tender gate
#

yes but you don't simply add them

#

you add them in the way you add parallel resistors

naive dirge
#

what would the ohm of the blue group be

#

I do not know how to get it.

tender gate
#

1/Rtot = 1/R1 + 1/R2

#

you should get 2

naive dirge
tender gate
#

yes

tender gate
#

in this case you don't have R3

naive dirge
tender gate
#

probably

#

you will be using it a lot

naive dirge
tender gate
#

equivalent

naive dirge
#

I see

#

I need a clear circuit right?

#

I'm stress daaaaaamn

naive dirge
tender gate
#

is it your first time solving circuits?

naive dirge
#

yes.

tender gate
#

okay

#

its simple

#

instead of R1 and R2

#

put 3 and 6

#

and then calculate it

naive dirge
#

is it the usual way to solve a circuit?

tender gate
naive dirge
#

could you tell me a funny thing or two about solving a circuit. I feel it tedious and stressful.

#

How should I interpret it

tender gate
#

find the connections that are in series or in parallel simplify them till you get to a simpler form

#

where you have a resistor, and a power source

naive dirge
#

deriving the result from R=V/I

#

but I stuck in the middle

tender gate
#

bro what 😭

#

you don't have the current

naive dirge
#

I'm fked up again

naive dirge
#

memorize it

tender gate
#

yeah just remember it

#

don't complicate it too much

#

just keep it simple

naive dirge
#

But I'M SO CURIOUS ABOUT HOW TO DERIVE IT FROM R=V/I

naive dirge
naive dirge
tender gate
#

yes

#

the voltage across resistors in parallel is the same but the current isn't

#

you have different currents and different resistance valeus

#

you have the total current = I1 + I2

#

then you replace them with their values

naive dirge
#

voltage is kinda like energy of electric charges

#

when the charges passess through resistor, their energy should be reduced

tender gate
#

thats the proof

naive dirge
tender gate
#

the voltage across resistors that are in parallel is the same

naive dirge
#

that's so strange.

tender gate
#

it has different current, but the voltage is the same

naive dirge
#

Oh...

tender gate
#

okay so back to the problem

naive dirge
tender gate
#

did you get the simplified version of the circuit?

naive dirge
tender gate
naive dirge
tender gate
#

this. here both resistors are connected to the + and - terminals of the battery

#

so the voltage across them is the same since at the bottom its 0 and at the top is V

naive dirge
tender gate
#

the black wire is ground

#

and usually ground is 0V

naive dirge
tender gate
#

okay

#

hol on

#

lets say our battery thats connected is 12V

#

at the top we know that its 12 volts

naive dirge
#

sure

tender gate
#

and we can calculate the potential by taking the + over the -

#

12- x = 12

#

what's x

#

potential difference in a circuit we go from higher potential to lower potential

#

from + to -

iron basin
# naive dirge

why is there an arrow pointing to "12 V" on the righT?

naive dirge
#

and show on the right

#

I'm astounished by his magic trick

naive dirge
tender gate
#

12 - something = 12

naive dirge
naive dirge
#

what does it mean

tender gate
#

blurple galaxy take over dawg i'm out lmao

#

too many questions

iron basin
#

lol

naive dirge
#

I'm trying to understand it.

iron basin
#

uh im assuming you know what series and paraller resistors are?

iron basin
#

alright

#

so across parallel resistors voltage is same

#

and across series its divided according to how good it can resist

naive dirge
#

So passing a resistor would not reduce the voltage of a electric charge.

iron basin
#

passing a resistor in the sense?

naive dirge
#

is it true

naive dirge
iron basin
#

no like what do you mean "passing"

naive dirge
#

like A-resistor-B.

some charge traverse from A to B, it passes the resistor.

#

would the voltage of the charge be reduced by the resistor.

iron basin
iron basin
#

well, it doesnt reduce the overall voltage

#

but yes, the voltage gets divided across the resistors if they are in series

#

and so here we will do some very slight modifications to the diagram

naive dirge
naive dirge
iron basin
#

all the resistors connected in parallel will have the same voltage

iron basin
#

why so

naive dirge
naive dirge
#

But, after passing through, their voltages vary.

iron basin
#

AFTER those electric charges pass

#

uhhhhhh

naive dirge
#

what

iron basin
#

one minute

naive dirge
iron basin
#

ill just see if i can find a diagram

#

this basically

#

since all resistors are connected from the same endpoints in parallel

#

the potential difference across those two points will be same for all resistors connected across those points

#

but in series the potential decreases from 12V to 0V

#

so the difference is split across the resistors

#

based on how well they resist

naive dirge
# iron basin

I do not like the diagram. It is just memorisation rather than understanding

iron basin
#

oh

naive dirge
#

So were you saying that point A and point B should have same voltage

iron basin
#

that diagram

iron basin
#

not a single point

#

the voltage across A and B is same for all resistors

iron basin
#

connected in parallel

#

voltage is the potential difference

naive dirge
#

the voltage be reduced when passing through a resistor

#

do you agree

iron basin
#

i guess so yes

naive dirge
#

After those charges passing through them.

#

do you agree

iron basin
#

because in series the same current goes through all resistors

#

but in parallel the current divides itself and passes through each resistor in different amounts

iron basin
#

thats why V = IR still holds

naive dirge
iron basin
#

not necessarily

#

depending on its resistance

#

for example if 1 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in parallel

#

3/4ths of the current will flow though 1 ohm resistor

#

and the other 1/4th will pass through 3 ohm

naive dirge
iron basin
#

for each resistor as resistance increases current passing through it decreases

#

to keep V constant

naive dirge
#

I mean each resistor, conductor has a constant resistance, at some temperature.

iron basin
#

that is DEFINITELY not true

#

steel and plastic

#

at room temperature

#

one has very high and other has very low resistance

naive dirge
#

I agree

#

but the resistance of them are fixed

#

right

iron basin
#

hows that

naive dirge
iron basin
#

why so

#

it makes sense

naive dirge
#

resistance would not "increase"

#

resistance is a constant given a situation

iron basin
#

for each substance resistance varies

naive dirge
#

I see

iron basin
#

im not saying resistance of a single substance

naive dirge
#

I see

iron basin
#

i meant to say that if the resistance of a substance is higher then the current passing through it will be lower

naive dirge
#

I see now

#

So you are claiming that point T and point S have same voltage.

#

Is it your claim

iron basin
#

again

#

points cant have voltage

#

voltage ACROSS the two points is same for all resistors

naive dirge
tender gate
#

see the arrows

#

you take the tip of the arrow - the end of the arrow and find how much voltage goes across the resistor

#

and its the same for both since both resistors are connected to the same thing (called node)

naive dirge
tender gate
#

no it opposes the current

#

so current goes down these arrows go up

#

because voltage goes from high potential to low potential

naive dirge
#

How do you know the bottom would be 0, or should I say how do you get the voltage of the bottom passage.

tender gate
#

well you know that the top is 12 V

#

green arrow at the power source on the left

#

voltage goes from high potential to low

#

the source is 12V

#

so since you know that the voltage goes from high potential to low potential

#

and across the voltage source you have 12 volts

#

you take high potential (12) - lower potential ( x ) = 12

#

x is the value of the black line

#

this equation should not be hard to solve

naive dirge
#

how do you know the "high potential - lower potential" would be 12

tender gate
#

because the voltage at the source is 12

#

bro i legit explained every step i took to find that equation idk what else i could do

naive dirge
naive dirge
tender gate
#

whats the voltage at the source

naive dirge
tender gate
#

okay

naive dirge
#

I see

#

I see now

tender gate
#

try this

naive dirge
#

I agree with it now that if parallel then the same voltage

tender gate
#

sign up its free you can create circuits and analyse voltage across resistors and currents

naive dirge
#

ohhh

#

fantastic

tender gate
#

you can make any circuit in here and it would help you if you can't find the correct answer

naive dirge
#

I see

tender gate
#

watch more youtube videos about electric circuits though, if you are interesed in them and you aren't being taught

naive dirge
tender gate
#

electric circuits?

naive dirge
#

yes

tender gate
#

well i mean you can always get a small electronics set and play with that

#

just stay under 12 V or else it would start hurting

naive dirge
#

like if I was running a NASA project that needs me to solve those electric circuits

#

I would definitely be interested in that.

tender gate
#

well you seem very curious about them with the amout of questions you asked

#

so you can learn about them alot

#

if you get familiar with them enough you can start hopping on electronic circuits and using gates and such to power stuff

naive dirge
tender gate
#

water analogy is used more for current

#

voltage you can think of like mountains

#

higher potential is a high mountain

#

and lower potential is a smaller mountain

#

and 0V is sea level

#

the higher the voltage the higher the mountain

naive dirge
#

I see

#

I see it now

iron basin
#

the water splits across different streams

#

but they all descend the same height

#

thaats how parallel resistors work

naive dirge
#

all the analogy can be applied to justify it.

tender gate
#

can i send files on this server?

naive dirge
#

I suppose so?

tender gate
#

do you have a laptop?

naive dirge
tender gate
#

this is a circuit simulation program, you don't have to download it if you don't trust the file but it shows how the voltage moves across the circuit

#

don't go too deep into it becasue then you have AC circuits which are different than DC which is what you are doing for the moment

forest sun
#

could someone explain how they got to that answer? I got the right tangent line eq, y=1/2(x) +2 but my answer is always wrong

lime river
leaden wadi
#

What are you using for (x-a) in the approximation?

lime river
#

Ye

forest sun
#

hmm

lime river
forest sun
#

no idea

#

i saw a vid where they made us find the tangent line

#

and use that to approx

lime river
forest sun
#

so in here 1/((3x)^(2/3))

#

can i just put the 27.4 instead of x?

#

wait no

#

that would be wrong

leaden wadi
#

a is the value you use to approximate some value near a. In thise case, a = 27.

forest sun
#

right

leaden wadi
#

It is the nearest cube value to 27.4.

forest sun
#

f(a) would be 3

leaden wadi
#

In the above equation, you plug in all of the values for a and use 27.4 for x.

#

The above equation is the non-reduce form of y = mx + b.

forest sun
#

right

#

so would be something like this

leaden wadi
#

No, the 3 in (3)^(2/3) should be 27.

forest sun
#

sorry, wdym?

#

ohh

#

like instead of 3 its 27

leaden wadi
#

You're trying to cube the 27 before you need to.

forest sun
#

okay now that makes more sense since the answer is right

#

thanks

tawny drift
#

Can someone explain how this answer was achieved?

tawny drift
#

I know it's a very simple problem in multivariable calc, but it has been a while, and I am definitely missing something

#

not to mention my brain is fried today

tawny drift
#

Or do I have to multiply out both pairs of brackets? Since the x, 2y, and 3z, are in the wrong place to be partial differentiated?

ocean hornet
#

the notation is a little weird, but i believe the inner brackets is the divergence of A, which is then scalar multiplied with B

#

so assuming A=(x, 2y, 3z) and B=(3y, -2x, 0), then that expression is div(A)*B

tawny drift
#

Yes, that is correct

#

Well, I have always seen divergence to mean $\nabla \dotproduct v$

jolly parrotBOT
tawny drift
#

where v is a vector function

#

but those should mean the same thing

#

because dot product is commutative

ocean hornet
#

wait but then im confused because the divergence should be 6, so then it is 6(3y, -2x,0) = (18y,-12x,0)

#

so i don't know how they got that

tawny drift
#

That is exactly what I thought

#

So are they incorrect?

ocean hornet
#

i think so

tawny drift
#

Hmm

#

Problem is, this is part of a proof for one of the product rules which I have attempted, but in the textbook, this step is done, and after a few more steps, they reach the correct conclusion

#

Here, the same possible mistake is done too

ocean hornet
#

ok in that case i think what they are distributing and then applying the partials to the term on the right

#

so for example you get $3y\frac{\partial}{\partial x} x = 3y$

jolly parrotBOT
tawny drift
#

oh yeah

ocean hornet
#

very bizarre

tawny drift
#

so 3y is treated as an outside constant, rather than something being differentiated

#

but anyways, once you distribute, you can bring the 3y in like normal, then differentiate

tawny drift
#

well, thank you very much for helping, this was giving me a headache!

eveyrhting looks good, am i missing something

weak cipher
#

how is the bottom function supposed to be graphed on this plot

summer imp
#

You can't draw the y intercept, but it'll still touch the x axis at x=5

weak cipher
#

is it this?

#

ok nevermind that answer didnt go thru

summer imp
#

Well at x=2 it should be -10

#

So connect those two points

weak cipher
summer imp
#

It shouldn't be passing through (2,-9)

weak cipher
#

oh

#

then where should it be starting

#

i dont understand how im wrong

#

that should be the answer

summer imp
#

I can't count

weak cipher
#

im so confused lol

golden fjord
summer imp
weak cipher
summer imp
#

Maybe it's just because the line doesn't really look like it goes through (5,0)? How picky is this graph question?

weak cipher
#

pretty picky

#

i give up

#

this was right

summer imp
#

Oh

weak cipher
#

this was wrong

#

like wtf

summer imp
#

Isn't it because of that point up top? Does it just pop up there?

weak cipher
#

i have another one sec

#

look good?

#

i feel i may have messed up the bottom

#

but overall it looks good i think

#

@summer imp

#

my god

#

it was wrong

#

wtf

summer imp
#

Bottom line doesn't have a slope of 1/3

weak cipher
#

good?

summer imp
#

And top line you seem to have drawn from (-1,10) to (2,6), but it doesn't go through (-1,10), try (0,9)

summer imp
weak cipher
#

because i move it up and its 1/2

summer imp
#

Start from the first point, go up 1 and right 3

weak cipher
#

ok, from here?

summer imp
#

This is such a weird tool how does it draw the arrows and full lines

weak cipher
#

ikr

#

you plot the points

#

and drag a line

#

and its not flexible

#

its hard to explain

summer imp
#

And it puts an arrow at the end when?

#

Because that bottom one needs an arroe

weak cipher
#

on a specific point, so no inbetween action

summer imp
#

If you need to draw it up to the edge of the graph for it to show an arrowhead then put a point on the edge of the graph such that then line passes through that point you just added

weak cipher
#

alright ima start a new opne

#

thanks fo rthe help

#

ima starta new one

summer imp
#

It needs to look like that. The thing is I just don’t know how your software works. It might just be put put off t=by the extra points you seem to have on top of the arrowheads here

weak cipher
#

ok HOW TF IS THIS WRONG

summer imp
weak cipher
summer imp
#

But you still have the same thing

summer imp
#

And the bottom line doesn’t have slope 1/4

weak cipher
#

this is so dumb

#

its not letting me put it at the half part

weak cipher
summer imp
#

Are you sure you need to draw the two points? Can’t you just start from the point you drew say at (4,-3) and drag a line ensuring it passes through (8,-4)?

weak cipher
#

ok i can drag from there but it locks onto one of the points

#

so i cant just lay it in the middle

#

it keeps doing it on the right answers tho, i dont know how to

#

im so done

#

i can put it in the middle and it keep shows up in the examples on the fucking middle

summer imp
#

You might want to ask clarifications with your instructor then because it looks like it’s either really poorly made or you’re doing something wrong drawing the lines

weak cipher
#

sadly

#

it is summer homework and due tomorrow

#

💀

#

it was like one of my last problems

summer imp
#

Ah shoot

weak cipher

Thing is, is summer and I’m just reading on my own.

There isn’t a professor or upperclassman to ask. I google it but I barely find clear explanations, instead I find the same proof or longer again

well uh

there's always here

winged karma
#

Okey thank you, I’ll share the proof

#

Also anytime I share a picture of a page, do I have to to edit it and cut it? I just want to know for next time.

#

Btw I’m not sure what the name of this proof is but it is related to something called the Ramsey game

#

Which is a bit related to graph theory and the nodes having either odd or even degree

I think

versed estuary
#

I have a uniform distribution D between T-E and T+E where E is known but T is unknown.
I can sample random values from D and average them to try and approximate T, Let's call this approximation T_a. However, I'd like to know how close T_a is to the true value of T.
How could can I define a function F(E, W, P) where E≥0 W≥0 0≤P≤1 and where P is the probability that |T_a-T|≤W is true?
As an example: F(5, 2, 0.5) would tell me how many samples I'd need to take of D to be 50% sure that T_a is within 2 units of T.

Any help is appreciated ^^

Hello

pearl pondBOT
elfin wyvern
#

I need help

latent quail
elfin wyvern
#

I will not show the other questions since it's basically the same idea

#

I just want to know how you can tell if a graph is a polynominal function

#

like what are the characteristics of it

#

I can search it up in like other places but like I thought it would be faster if I just asked it here

dapper kraken
#

a polynomial function will shoot up to infinity like a

#

not sure how to specify it tho

latent quail
#

A polynomial function will approach ♾️/ - ♾️ when x is getting extremely big or small

elfin wyvern
#

hmm

#

so I'm guessing that the first one IS a polynomial function

iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

and it would be considered a quadratic function since it has 2 zeroes

elfin wyvern
#

but the second one would not be since it has no zeroes

iron stream
#

It has f'x = 0 at three points

iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

oh

iron stream
#

A higher order with complex roots

elfin wyvern
#

ohh

#

is it because the graph looks like broken?

#

a regular quadatric function would look normal

#

like no bends

#

is that why

iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

alright

#

so the first one IS a polynomial function but it's just a higher degree one?

elfin wyvern
#

interesting..

#

further question

iron stream
#

2nd one is just observation

elfin wyvern
#

So in order for it to be a polynomianl function, is it required for it to have zeroes?

elfin wyvern
#

for example like the second one wouldn't be a polynominal function since it doesn't have any zeroes

iron stream
#

,w graph x²+x+1= 0

elfin wyvern
#

and it's an exponential function

elfin wyvern
#

hmm

iron stream
#

Is x² +x +1 polynomial?

elfin wyvern
#

oh that one doesn't have any zeroes

#

Yeah, I guess

#

It seems to be

iron stream
#

But imaginary

elfin wyvern
#

oh

#

oh

iron stream
#

We call them complex roots

elfin wyvern
#

wait so since it is imaginary, it would not be considerd a polynomial function?

#

Do the zeroes have to be real in order for it to be a polynomial function

iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

ah

elfin wyvern
#

I see

iron stream
#

Basically polynomial functions are continuous in their domain of definition

elfin wyvern
#

I see..

iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

hmm

iron stream
#

It is an exponential function

#

,w graph y= e^x +3

elfin wyvern
#

ah yes

iron stream
verbal whale
#

This is a polynomial function:
$$y = a_{n}x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + ... + a_2x^2 + a_1x + a_0$$
(with a_n≠0)

elfin wyvern

#

elfin wyvern
#

I'm learning Advanced Functions right now

iron stream
elfin wyvern
iron stream
elfin wyvern
#

alright, thanks for the help

#

I'll look into it

iron stream
#

Yeah 👍

elfin wyvern
# iron stream Yeah 👍

Yeah, I found this definition:

To tell if a graph represents a polynomial function based on its appearance, you can look for the following characteristics:

  1. Smooth and Continuous Curve: The graph of a polynomial function is always smooth and continuous, meaning there are no sharp corners or breaks.

  2. End Behavior:

    • If the degree of the polynomial is even, both ends of the graph will either go up or down.
    • If the degree is odd, one end of the graph will go up and the other end will go down.
  3. Number of Turning Points:

    • A polynomial function of degree ( n ) can have up to ( n-1 ) turning points (local maxima or minima). For example, a cubic function (degree 3) can have up to 2 turning points.
  4. Symmetry:

    • If the polynomial function has only even powers, the graph will be symmetric about the y-axis (even function).
    • If it has only odd powers and no constant term, it may be symmetric about the origin (odd function).
  5. No Asymptotes: Polynomial functions do not have asymptotes. If the graph has vertical or horizontal asymptotes, it is not a polynomial function.

  6. Behavior Near the x-axis: The graph may touch or cross the x-axis at the roots. It may cross at an angle or just touch the axis if the corresponding root has even multiplicity (e.g., the graph of ( y = (x-1)^2 ) just touches the x-axis at ( x = 1 )).

By checking for these features, you can usually determine if a graph represents a polynomial function.

jolly parrotBOT
elfin wyvern
#

it makes a lot of sense now

#

the second graph would not be a polynomial function since it has an asymptote

iron stream
#

I mean

#

Point 5 is not correct

elfin wyvern
#

oh

#

I see

iron stream
#

Hmm !

elfin wyvern
#

"We should know that the only polynomial functions that have asymptotes are the ones whose degree is 0 (horizontal asymptote) and 1 (oblique asymptote). i.e. functions whose graphs are straight lines. Therefore, we can say that a polynomial function has an asymptote."

#

Yeah, I can see why

elfin wyvern
# elfin wyvern Yeah, I can see why

I just looked at the answer key.

It says:

  1. a) "This represents a polynomial function because the domain is a set of all real numbers, the range does not have a lower bound, and the graph does not have horizontal or vertical asymptotes."
#

ah yes yes

#

I found a good definition:

In any polynomial expression, the exponents on the variable must be whole numbers.

• A polynomial function is any function that contains a polynomial expression in one variable. The degree of the function is the highest exponent in

the expression. For example, f{x) = 6x^ - 3x^ + 4x - 9 has a degree of 3.

• The nth finite differences of a polynomial function of degree n are constant.

• The domain of a polynomial function is the set of real numbers, {xgR}.

• The range of a polynomial function may be all real numbers, or it may have a lower bound or an upper bound (but not both).

• The graphs of polynomial functions do not have horizontal or vertical asymptotes.

• The graphs of polynomial functions of degree zero are horizontal lines. The shape of other graphs depends on the degree of the function. Five typical shapes are shown for various degrees:

midnight haven
pearl pondBOT
midnight haven
#

so we know that there are total 91 medals

#

distributed among 60

#

each one of them atleast got 1 medal; right?
so 91 -60 = 31

#

now how do i proceed

#

and now there are 5 people who got three medals

#

we have to subtract 5*2 medals since these 5 have 1 already

#

31-10 =21

#

21 medals!!! were given to those who won in exactly two events

#

correct me if i am wrong, or suggest some other method to solve it ( venn diagram highly suggested)

#

oh wait i didn't see you cook afterwards

midnight haven
#

yeah

midnight haven
#

yeah i think the answer is correct, but the question is meant to be solved using venn, idk how to
