need tutor for calculus

[shy hound]

alright, id love that... bc i dont even rlly kno where to start...

tbh idek where to start. i always rabbit hole too far

[grim umbra]

when did we become friend

mr white

[shy hound]

well last semester i only got to recognize the patterns of basic rules of differentiating

ive since forgot bc i havent practiced, but im not good with trig and never learned integrals

[grim umbra]

ah alright so lets start with differentiation ig

[shy hound]

to find a specific point of a rate of change... or something like that

i think

yeah... oh i also realized i really struggle with graphing 😭

[grim umbra]

u prolly wont need that many graphs

[shy hound]

uhh tbh im very shaky, but im sure once i practice with them itll come back

[shy hound]

alright phew. i just remember on my midterm i had to graph for aroc and i had no clue how to graph functions

and thats the reason it needs to be constant

yeah and that gets us to limits

ok ok

[grim umbra]

uhh back

i went to get my water bottle

sorry

[shy hound]

lmao 😭 nah im so lost cant lie

i appreciate the help

[grim umbra]

ok so this is basically the slope...

[shy hound]

yup got that

need some clarification on this.. sorry wdym

[grim umbra]

now this is just avg slope between 2 points right... if we move these 2 points closer and closer to each other

ouch

im just built different

[shy hound]

lmao its good it'll help w my understanding

and then i obv need a bunch of practice with this stuff, but ive never understood riemann summs or integrals

[grim umbra]

think of it like ts... if we move out points closer and closer we get a better idea of slope at some specific point

[shy hound]

okay yeah makes sense !

[grim umbra]

now differentiation is basically that

finding slope

with points being

infinitetly close

to each other

[shy hound]

hold up, (again sorry)

im not good with trig... tangent is the slope?

[grim umbra]

yes

[shy hound]

omg wait im smiling sm ty ty

ty and then sorry to bother

but could u help me out a little with riemann summs and integrals perchance

so thankful truly

lmao

okay and how do i write that... ive been confused heavily by the notation of it

[grim umbra]

if u sum up the area of these recentangles u get how we get a pretty good approximation of area under the curve... reimann sum is basically this... in the photo the rectangles r massive af... in reimann we take very thin infintely many such rectangles and add em up... the more the number of rectangles the better the area we get right...

im sorry im just using ms paint to drew shitty lines xD

[rich glacier]

if it goes to infinity we call it the limiting value

or the integral

although sums will roughly converge to that anyways

[shy hound]

nah its good helping a ton i appreciate it

[rich glacier]

so in this stage you can say those are synonymous

it's also important to note that generally the rectangle widths will go to 0

vs. the number of rectangles going to infinity

although it is important to note these are synonymous when dealing with riemann sums

the integral also has it just that they use another delta

(b - a)/n is what people would call the uniform delta

wtv it's called

because for any time in the sum, it won't change

sometimes there are integrals that you can tweak where it isn't (b - a)/n

esp. for step functions

although it's easy to show the delta you pick doesn't matter a lot here

as long as you pick the right points

[shy hound]

hm interesting... so youre saying an integral is practically saying that its the number of rectangles that are infinitely small to find the area under a weird function/curve

maybe...

[rich glacier]

yes

that's very important to note

[shy hound]

yeah im hoping so

[rich glacier]

because the integral is when the rectangle widths go infinitely small

but the sum is when the rectangle widths go small, just not infinitely small

[grim umbra]

( b- a )/ n is the delta x ... the pic is basically saying the value of function at x* x* is basically a + (b-a)i/n

[shy hound]

lmao yeah imma go back and write them in my notes ty very much 😭

[grim umbra]

ms paint

[shy hound]

paint i believe

alright lol thank yall sm...

i have a calc 1 midterm resit in like 2 hours

[grim umbra]

its alright we r bored eitherway so its fun spendin time doin somethin productive

lol

[shy hound]

so any tips to go over/find practice problems for differentiating?

[shy hound]

honestly such a great habit to have when bored

i hope i learn math to a point i can help others out

[rich glacier]

paul's math notes has plenty of examples for it

[grim umbra]

dont fuck up chain rule and product rule

[rich glacier]

and calculus in general

[shy hound]

oooo.... i was always pretty good with quotient and then rlly good w product rule except for trig and chain

chain just gets so confusing ngl

tysm

[grim umbra]

just keep remember what u took as the 2 functions

[shy hound]

and also how do u guys recommend someone to learn or familiarize themselves with graphing

and just pay attention to patterns?

[grim umbra]

i mean uk the one outside say for example sin(log x) ... so just keep mental note of what was the outer most function and keep working from out to inside so it will be derivative of sin(y) times derivative of log x times derivative of x and so on..... answer would be cos(logx) * 1/x btw

[shy hound]

damn this might be above my pay grade 😭

okay this makes sense to me

alright, im going to watch some recap videos on basic rules to familiarize myself... i really do appreciate all the help

ill definitely be in this server more floating around

i got 3 months 😭 fadee

[grim umbra]

1 year actually

yea...

[shy hound]

what countries?

damn man

couple my roommates from india

lol they have an accent, yes

different accents based on where in india, no?

[grim umbra]

yea

anyways gl with calc

see u around

[shy hound]

yeah i'll cyu guys

ty ty so very much

lol i will
