OpenStudy (j.maule):
ask @Michele_Laino he can prob help
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
hii
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Hey can you help me?
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
Yes

I already found the derivatives of each function. I just dont understand how to find the domain.
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
when x<4, f(x)=5x-6 whose derivative is 5
when 4<=x<=6 f(x)=x^2-2 whose derivative is 2x
when x>6, f(x)=4x+10 whose derivative is 4
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
now we have to check the domain
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Yes, I got that part (:
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
f'(4)=2.4=8 which is not equal to the Lf'(4)

OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Wait. how did you do that.
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
f'(6)=2.6=12 and Rf'(6)=4 so f is not derivable at x=6
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
for existence of derivative we must have Lf'(x)=Rf'(x)
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Okay, I am still a little confused on that part, so the domain is that x cannot equal 4 and 6
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
wait

OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Well all real numbers but 4 and 6
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
no no let me write the answer
f'(x)=5, when x<4
f'(x)=2x, when 4<x<6
f'(x)=4 , when x>6
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Ohhhhh okay. I see now.
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
yeah the domain is all real numbers except 4 and 6
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Thank you. That makes sense!

Would you mind trying to help me with another question?
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
ok
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Getting stuck on this one
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
multiply numerator and denominator by 1+cos x
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
so
\[y=\frac{ (1+\cos x)^2 }{ 1-\cos ^2 x}=\frac{ 1+\cos ^2 x +2 \cos x }{ \sin ^2 x }\]

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
wait you may directly differentiate
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
See, the answer choices are confusing me. I cant figure out how to get one of those.
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
\[\frac{ d }{ dx}(\frac{ f(x) }{ g(x) })=\frac{ g(x)f'(x)-f(x)g'(x) }{ {g(x)}^2 }\]
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
@arianna1453
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
oh okey.

use the formula and tell me the answer
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
@arianna1453 option d is correct
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Give me a second. Working it out.
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
are you sure its d @jango_IN_DTOWN ?
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
yeah you want me to work it out?

OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Yeah, if you could.
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
\[f'(x)=\frac{ (1-\cos x)(-\sin x)-(1+\cos x) \sin x }{ (1-\cos x)^2 }\]
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
\[=\frac{ -\sin x +\sin xcos x-\sin x -\sin x \cos x }{ (1-\cos x)^2 }\]
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
\[=\frac{ -2\sin x }{ (1-\cos x)^2 }\]
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
OH. I had one of my signs wrong. I got it!! Thank you

n.p.
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
Last one i will ask you. Is this one correct?
OpenStudy (arianna1453):
@jango_IN_DTOWN ?
OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):
option c is correct
