Can someone please indicate the rise and run in the graph? http://prntscr.com/3rwazw

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that helps...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how are we getting 3/1 as a slope for graph one

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good question :) whats the simplified value of \(\large \dfrac{6}{2}\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o why did you tell me before that it would be 3/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you confirm for the rest of the graphs

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6/2 and 3/1 are same : \(\large \dfrac{6}{2} = \dfrac{3\times 2}{2} = \dfrac{3}{1} = 3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for b 1/8 =1/8+1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for c -4/1 = -4x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for d -1/8 = -1/8x + 1.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 : \(\large y = mx + c\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 1/8x+1.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

For graph b, slope, \(m = \dfrac{1}{8}\) y intercept, \(c = 1.5\) So the equation of line becomes : \(\large y = \dfrac{1}{8}x + 1.5\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with integrals

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Okay I'll try, ask...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/3s3i2r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show each integrals solution systematically

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use below formula : \[\large \int x^n ~dx = \dfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} \] (*removed +C as we're dealing with definite integrals)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So start by changing the given fraction into above form ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that looks okay so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, can you apply the earlier formula ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

are you still with me ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we need to take the difference of values at 1 and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets simplify the expression a bit before taking the difference

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can you simplify the fraction ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^-1/-1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent ! it simplifies even further..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x^-1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it simplifies even further..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use below property of fractions : \(\large a^{-n} = \dfrac{1}{a^n}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^-1(-1)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, i forgot to put the bounds... let me fix it : \[\large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\dfrac{1}{x} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1 x=1/-1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[ \large \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{dx}{x^2} = \int \limits_{-1}^1 \dfrac{1}{x^2} ~ dx= \int \limits_{-1}^1 x^{-2} ~ dx \\ \large = \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = \dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\dfrac{1}{x} \color{red}{\Bigg|_{-1}^1} = -\left(1 -(-1)\right) \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we only have to find for the upper bound right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \int \dfrac{dx}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

step1 : change the fraction to \(\large x^n\) form

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lower bound =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

upper bound ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ahh missed the bounds, one sec..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me for graph c how did we get -4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \int \limits_{0}^{\Pi}\dfrac{dx}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for graph c ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Are you talking about graph c in that pic ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

tell me this : rise = ? run = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rise -4 run +1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why -4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the graph - Notice that running 1 unit to the right makes the line line to `sink` 4 units down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph a there also sink

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You need to look at the graph : `left-to-right`

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the key thing ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

reason is this - the values of number increase on a number line as you walk `left-to-right`
