can someone help and explain?

[wet kelp]

i dont have a solid foundation on functions i only know bits and pieces if theyre given in equation form but when it comes to graphs, i get quite lost. can walk me through this and explain step by step on how to tackle this question?

Where is f(x) = 0?

This is the same as the x intercept

[wet kelp]

3

[slender helm]

No

X intercept

[wet kelp]

yeah no i lagged sorry

6

[slender helm]

And?

[wet kelp]

-1

[slender helm]

(6,0)

And (-1,0)

but yeah

[wet kelp]

yeah

[slender helm]

So, w+1.7=?

[wet kelp]

0

[slender helm]

6

Because x=6

So solve for w

That’s it

[wet kelp]

🤨

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

🤨🤨🤨 wait

wait why did we plug in 6

i get what i have to do now

i dont get why we had to do it

like i get it i just dont understand it

ahhhh

because x =6

and inside the function we're solving for x

so we had to look for an x intercept

[slender helm]

Yeah

[wet kelp]

so 4.3 is my input

combined with 1.3

[slender helm]

Yep

[wet kelp]

so 4.3 is my

🤨

x or y

[slender helm]

W

[wet kelp]

if i plugged into the graph

no no

i know

i meant

because from my understanding

f(x)=y

4.3 is my

input

right

[slender helm]

It can be

[wet kelp]

rriiighhhttt

[wet kelp]

can i ask you another one or should i make another post about it heh

[slender helm]

What is it abt?

[wet kelp]

same thiing

functions

[slender helm]

Ask here only ig

[wet kelp]

yay okok

[slender helm]

Between which 2 points is it true?

The inequality that is

[wet kelp]

im sorry i dont get what youre asking

rrrughhghghh idk why i dont get functions

[slender helm]

Between which 2 values for x is f(x) higher than or the same level as g(x)

?

[wet kelp]

uhhh

(1,6)....?

🥹 🥹 🥹

[slender helm]

And?

[slender helm]

That’s one

[wet kelp]

hmmm

[slender helm]

It’s correct

[wet kelp]

OH

[slender helm]

But you need the other one too

[wet kelp]

-2,0

🤨

[slender helm]

Yep

[wet kelp]

yeah

[slender helm]

So the x values are

[wet kelp]

1 and 02

[slender helm]

Of those 2

[wet kelp]

-2

[slender helm]

Yep

That’s it

[wet kelp]

okok

oh wtf

thats it

oh that is it

[slender helm]

Yeah

[tight laurel]

||Is it D||

[wet kelp]

so did i have to understand what this meant for which values of x between −3 and 3 is f(x) ≥ g(x)?

[slender helm]

Yeah

[tight laurel]

Cool

[slender helm]

Yeah

[wet kelp]

ok cuz i dont understand the whole 3 -3 thing

[tight laurel]

What don’t you understand about it

[slender helm]

Both the graphs are of the form y=f(x) and y=g(x)

[tight laurel]

And we want to find when f(x) >= g(x)

That’s the goal

[wet kelp]

yeah

[tight laurel]

I II III each are given situations and you have to identify if they satisfy the inequality

Do them one by one. Annotating if you have to

And that should bring you towards the answer

[slender helm]

So when f(x) is greater than or equal to g(x) at a point, the y value of f(x) at that point is greater than or equal to that of g(x) at that point

@wet kelp

[wet kelp]

yeah im reading holon

[wet kelp]

hmmmmmmmmm

[slender helm]

So the value of f(x) for a given x is just the y value corresponding to that x

On the graph

[wet kelp]

rightttt

hmm okay

also

basedon the previous

question

[wet kelp]

why did we have to look for the x intercepts specifically

cuz im writing steps on how to tackle such questions

is it because

=0

[slender helm]

Because x intercepts are when y=0

[wet kelp]

righttttttt

right right

[slender helm]

If y=f(x)

And f(x) = 0

y=0

[wet kelp]

rightttt

[slender helm]

You can use +close to close this thread if ur done

[tight laurel]

I’m confused why you’re talking about X intercepts

[wet kelp]

oh no this was based off the first question

[slender helm]

First question

[slender helm]

Yeah

[tight laurel]

Oh

I just read it

Makes sense

[slender helm]

Anyway, @wet kelp

[wet kelp]

okok

[tight laurel]

Slow down may not be done yet

[slender helm]

@wet kelp said that’s it
I’m pretty sure
@is.0n, do you need time to go over the stuff I said?

[wet kelp]

yeahh

ill close it in a bit

[slender helm]

Np

[wet kelp]

thank youuuu

if i had more questions would it be fine if i asked again

[slender helm]

Yeah, but in a separate thread

Unless you have them now

[wet kelp]

hmm let me check

[slender helm]

I gtg anyway

Ask Bojack Horseman or something

[wet kelp]

ohh okk

btw do u have any video recs for this typa topic

so i can try to understand the topic myself instead of asking every single question lololol

[tight laurel]

Hi

[slender helm]

Eh, not really. I just use books

[wet kelp]

right :'))

[tight laurel]

Not the best advice imo

Videos are more intuitively

[wet kelp]

yeah i hate reading math

[tight laurel]

Set up

[wet kelp]

lol

[tight laurel]

Same

I’ve never read math

In my life

[wet kelp]

good for you

[slender helm]

I said I don’t have recommendations because I use books

Not that @wet kelp should too

[wet kelp]

i feel like half of the reason why i dont understand 90% of math is bcs ive been reading it my whole hs

[tight laurel]

I know what you said lol

[tight laurel]

I know

I was just clarifying

[wet kelp]

do u have vids regarding this topic btw

[tight laurel]

Lemme see what I can cook up for you

[wet kelp]

thank you id appreciate that soso much

[tight laurel]

https://youtu.be/lGfsp2CWjok?si=xOXygkfp_OTdwoxM

Is this good for you

You want functions?

[wet kelp]

emm let me check

if it included reading functions in a graph

cuz i get the concept of functions alr

bcs, like the 2nd question i provided, i got agents explanation, but when i read the question itself, i dont know what to do and what not

[tight laurel]

Transformations or what

[wet kelp]

tbh idek

ykw its ok

[tight laurel]

Sorry

[wet kelp]

ill just look for something on my own

hopefully

[wet kelp]

nono its on me

i appreciate the help tho tysm bojack horseman

and agent if he reads this

[tight laurel]

Yw
