Hi @hushed fiber so, you have any ideas

cinder siren Oct 27, 2024, 7:16 AM

#

a good place to start would be to think about what those vertical asymptotes mean, equation wise

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:17 AM

#

Yes, but idk how to really do that.

#

I'll be honest I want the answer.

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:17 AM

#

Sorry, we won't give the answer

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

Well idk what to do or how to understand it!

#

It has a video!

#

And I can't understand the video!

#

SO WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!

#

😡

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

Can you show the video

Looks about right

#

So which part don't you understand

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

raw relic So which part don't you understand

Everything

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

ok

#

Let's start with the x-axis

#

Does the graph cut the x-axis anywhere

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

How should I know?

#

Even with people in the internet this is frustrating!

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

hushed fiber

Look at the graph?

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

raw relic Look at the graph?

I'm looking at the graph!

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Does it touch the x-axis anywhere

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

positive 2?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Good job

#

What does that affect

#

The numerator or the denominator?

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Numerator?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Ok

#

So what is the term implied by the numerator

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

negative 2?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

Can you be more specific

#

You're close

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

Negative 2x?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

no

#

Is negative 2x going to be 0 at x=2?

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

No?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

If x=2 results in 0, then it means....

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

x=2?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

You're writing y as some rational function of x

#

if x=2, and you get 0, it means you're multiplying by 0

#

How do you multiply by 0, when x=2?

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

It's just 0 right?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

Something = 0

#

Some function of x = 0

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

THIS IS FUCKING STUPID!

#

This is why I hate working on this because the process is frustrating and annoying!

#

Sorry..

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:27 AM

#

I don't see how it is, the video is 5 minutes long

#

I'll tell you the solution for it cutting the point at 2

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:27 AM

#

Cause it's being solved by an expert!

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:27 AM

#

It results in
[y = \frac{(x-2)^2}{\cdots}]

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:27 AM

#

x-2=0 when x=2

#

We need an even power (strictly greater than 0), because it does not change sign as it goes towards 2 and after it hits 2

#

You basically keep using the information of it cutting axes or having vertical asymptotes to figure out how it looks like

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

2=2?

#

I still don't understand

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

oak ore **fishwhale**

also whats the bottom part?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

hushed fiber 2=2?

x takes values from negative infinity to positive infinity

#

the bottom part is filler - I am not going to tell you the answer

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

Well idk

#

I keep getting frustrated

#

Apologies for being a crybaby but damn it!

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

hushed fiber 2=2?

when x takes the value 2, it just minuses off, and regardless of whatever other x components, it does not matter. Multiplying by 0 results in 0

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

So its (x-2) squared and 0?

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

no

#

It's (x-2) squared, multiplied by other parts

#

There's a constant to be multiplied

#

There's also the vertical-asymptotes to be multiplied

#

it's one big product of (x...) and a constant term

#

Which is what the video does

raw relic Oct 27, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

raw relic when x takes the value 2, it just minuses off, and regardless of whatever other ...

This is why it works

#

You are just using the fact of things being or not being 0 at times you want

hushed fiber Oct 27, 2024, 7:34 AM

#

So it's just 0 or?

#

I'm following the video and again I can't understand

#

At this point I'm not thinking clearly

#

I'm pissed off

#

Like everything makes me fucking angry at this point

#

the video

#

the questions

#

the process

#

this damn server

#

just everything!
