Can someone please indicate the rise and run in the graph? http://prntscr.com/3rwazw
see if that helps...
then how are we getting 3/1 as a slope for graph one
good question :) whats the simplified value of \(\large \dfrac{6}{2}\) ?
o why did you tell me before that it would be 3/1
can you confirm for the rest of the graphs
6/2 and 3/1 are same : \(\large \dfrac{6}{2} = \dfrac{3\times 2}{2} = \dfrac{3}{1} = 3\)
and for b 1/8 =1/8+1.5
for c -4/1 = -4x+3
for d -1/8 = -1/8x + 1.5
wait, what exactly do you mean by : `b 1/8 =1/8+1.5` ? The statements as-it-is makes no sense. If you want the equation of line, then you need to use slope intercept form : \(\large y = mx + c\)
i mean 1/8x+1.5
For graph b, slope, \(m = \dfrac{1}{8}\) y intercept, \(c = 1.5\) So the equation of line becomes : \(\large y = \dfrac{1}{8}x + 1.5\)
can you help with integrals
Okay I'll try, ask...
can you show each integrals solution systematically
use below formula : \[\large \int x^n ~dx = \dfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} \] (*removed +C as we're dealing with definite integrals)
So start by changing the given fraction into above form ^
\[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \]
see if that looks okay so far
yep
good, can you apply the earlier formula ?
\[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \]
are you still with me ? :)
yep
good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1}\]
we need to take the difference of values at 1 and -1
ok
lets simplify the expression a bit before taking the difference
can you simplify the fraction ?
x^-1/-1
Excellent ! it simplifies even further..
-x^-1
good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} \]
it simplifies even further..
use below property of fractions : \(\large a^{-n} = \dfrac{1}{a^n}\)
x^-1(-1)
good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\dfrac{1}{x} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} \]
Now we're ready to take the difference : when x = 1, whats the value of 1/x ? when x = -1, whats the value of 1/x ?
x=1 x=1/-1
yes ! when x = 1, whats the value of 1/x = 1 when x = -1, whats the value of 1/x = -1 plug them and you're done !
\[ \large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\dfrac{1}{x} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\left(1 -(-1)\right) \]
simplify ^
-2
Correct !
next one
we only have to find for the upper bound right?
always find both bounds, the value becomes 0 at lower bound... so yes you don't need to find the lower bound for this particular problem. BUT the lower bound may not give 0 in other problems - So to be safe, always find the values at both bounds and take the difference okay ?
\[\large \int \dfrac{dx}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\]
step1 : change the fraction to \(\large x^n\) form
give it a try...
lower bound =0
upper bound ?
Ahh missed the bounds, one sec..
can you tell me for graph c how did we get -4
\[\large \int \limits_{0}^{\Pi}\dfrac{dx}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\]
for graph c ?
yes
Are you talking about graph c in that pic ?
tell me this : rise = ? run = ?
rise -4 run +1
why -4
Look at the graph - Notice that running 1 unit to the right makes the line line to `sink` 4 units down
ok
graph a there also sink
You need to look at the graph : `left-to-right`
thats the key thing ^
reason is this - the values of number increase on a number line as you walk `left-to-right`
ok
