Turing and other geniuses!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

am i a genius?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i d k.. u should know about u . ;)

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

i am one...:) oo limits huh?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

The limit from the left at x=0.2 from the graph you can see that if you go along the graph, from the left side, you approach y=2.6 at x=0.2 so \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0.2^-}C(x)=2.6\]the other symbol with the plus sign means the same thing, but from the right...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

option?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

fill in the box with 2.6 it looks like, the other thing is just if the limit doesn't exist....

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

there are 4 options! :O

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the next one as I said is from the right. Looking at the graph we can see that\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0.2^+}C(x)=3\]...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

ohh, u mean A?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

there can't be two answers.. :/

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Saif, where do you get these practice questions from?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Internet. :P

OpenStudy (turingtest):

The final bit asks you to find the actual limit. There is a theorem that states that \[\lim_{x \rightarrow a}C(x)\]exists at a if and only if\[\lim_{x \rightarrow a^+}C(x)=\lim_{x \rightarrow a^-}C(x)\]here we can see that this is not the case, the right and left-had limits are different, so \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0.2}C(x)\]does not exist :)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

1. 2.6 2. 3 3. does not exist

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Dude, Basic net, No exact location??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

server's getting jumpy ion me...

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

for the explanation of the third one the left hand limit doesnt match the right hand limit so in turn the limit doesnt exist

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

we cannot make all of them!!

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

oh sorry turning test i didnt see u reply

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

wait we can.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

make what saifoo?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Where do you see four options? I see six slots for three questions.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

yea right

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Thanks!! =D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how about this one?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

is it a dot at x=3?? i mean is that it has no value at 3?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

looks like a)2 b)undefined c)... I want to say yes, let me check...

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

nope

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

2 undefined no

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

as it is discontinuos turning point the function doesnt have any value

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so no?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I still say yes after looking it up, look here's the theorem http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/Continuity.aspx

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

yes it is a NO

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

let's toss a coin.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

because the limit at that point exists and is 3 it follows the theorem, can you provide a counter-argument Akshay?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

Finally . The function is not continuous at this point. This kind of discontinuity is called a removable discontinuity. Removable discontinuities are those where there is a hole in the graph as there is in this case. is what it says point

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

everything's going over my head. :o

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes akshay is right, it is removable but still counts I agree now :) c)no

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

KICKING

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

u kicked me:o o.0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

who, what?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

weird question!!

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Oh I made master!

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

what a mod, who kicks peepl for the fun of it! :(

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, u said me to do it.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

where

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

pffft!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i know u deleted that.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

C

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

both the values come out to be 9

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

u ca delete stuff>?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

quick one..

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I forgot how to do these :( I bet akshay's right though

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

np ty guys! =)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

D

OpenStudy (turingtest):

f(x)=6x^2+5 g(x)=1/sqrt x^2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sorry got em backwards

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

can i ask how?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yup

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

How?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

see f(gx) is like when u put g(x) instead of x in the function f(x).. i hope that self explains itself?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Damn! im sleeping.. lol.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Oh just look at the functions \[g(x)=6x^2+5\]\[f(x)={1\over \sqrt {x^2}}\]exactly plug in f[g(x)]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

just want to make sure, we have to double diff it to get the stat points?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

double differentiating and setting to zero gets the inflection points, I don't know about stat points...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

stationary points.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

stat points r same as infletion points i believe

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hmm, im getting 10.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so y = 10?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

that shud be fine we trust ur differentiation saifoo :P

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i mean the equation?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

probably this one is just finding where the first derivative is undefined 10x-2=0 x=5

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so it....? o_O

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

10

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

double differentiate, you get y=10

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the question ask about horizontal tangent, not inflection points :/

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

wait it says the point at which... so it need the points right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OmG! sorry im sleeping. :O it's 07:55am here.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

The point is where f'(x)=0=10x-2 x=5 f(5)=5(25)-2(5)-2=113

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

o.O

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

Gn safioo rather GM :P

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

im confused. :/

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[x\ne5\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh man I messed up f(5)=f(5)=5(25)-2(5)+3=118

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

Zarkon!!!!!!!! you look cool in your real pic!! :P

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[x=\frac{1}{5}\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

ty

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how u got that? o_O

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that's what I get for trying to do this over dinner :/ by solving what I wrote 5x-2=0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

soorry stiill cant' type 10x-2=0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah told you...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

anyway get f(1/5) I know you can do that in your sleep
