    I wish teachers would explain that the sqrt(x^2) is |x| (absolute value of x) and that is why to solve the absolute value equation, we need to put down the plus minus. Right now, it’s two mistakes that confuse students. By doing the sqrt cancel and put down the plus minus, students might make 2 wrong connections in their brain. That sqrt(x^2) is x and sqrt(4) for example is plus minus 2.

    ​@@skc4188 Here's an interesting experiment for you to try with rooting. Try calculating (-8)^(1/3) and (-8)^0.3333 in Google Calculator, and observe that you will get significantly different results, even though you are ultimately solving the same approximate problem. This is why less-sophisticated calculators can give you an error when you attempt the same problem, even though the solution is a real number. So, can you explain why you get significantly different results, and why each result is equally valid (approximately) to the original expression of cube root of -8? I know the answer. Let me know if you can figure it out.

If you try this with 5th roots, such as (-32)^(1/5), you will get the real solution of -2, whether the exponent is 1/5, or whether the exponent is 0.2. But there is a reason why 3rd roots get stuck on a complex solution, if the calculator rounds the fractional exponent of 1/3.

    For Q3, you can actually take the square roots of both sides and it would be quicker too. This would give you (3x-1) = 2x^(1/2) , --> 3x -2x^(1/2) -1 = 0 , which you can treat as a quadratic by substituting y=x^(1/2) to give y^2-2x-1=0 (I didnt take into account the other root as i would get the same anwser anyway). This can be solve to give (3y-1)(y+1) , (if you had considered the other root, ie -2x^(1\2), you would have the same expression with the signs swapped in the factored form, but since you are solving for y^2, ie x, the signs swap doesnt matter as the the result would be positive regardless of sign). y^2=(1/3)^2 = 1/9 and y^2=(-1)^2 = 1

You are also given a trail on this hill, also as a function of x and y. You'd like to find the highest point on the trail, or the lowest point. What you do is look for places where the trail is locally parallel to a contour line, which is where you'll have a local extreme point in the elevation on the path. The Lagrange multiplier is dummy variable you don't ultimately care about It helps you set up a system of equations, to look for alignment with the hill's gradient, and the path's normal vector.

    For Q2, arent you supposed to check if the solutions are valid by inserting the x-values in the original equation and see if left side = right side since there can be false solutions when squaring both sides?

  • @Apollorion

    @Apollorion

    Жыл бұрын

    When you're not certain you'll always do well to verify the solutions in the original equation. Those false solutions you're thinking of come from (-A)(-A)=(A)(A) and that hence (A)(A)=(B)(B) can be solved not only by A=B but also by A=-B. If you begin an equation equivalent to A=B and wish to find the solutions by squaring both sides then you'd indeed added the false solution A=-B. The Q2 however already in the beginning is of the form (A)(A)=(B)(B), and what BPRP does is not square both sides but taking the square root of both sides to find both A=B and A=-B as solutions. (Think of A and B as some arbitrary expressions.)

    I think you mean quadratic inequalities. Equations such as -x^2 + 5*x > 6. It's just like solving the quadratic equation, to find the boundaries of the valid domain of x-values that satisfy this inequality, which in this case are x=2 and x=3. In order to determine how to establish whether it is between these bounds, or outside these bounds, you need to consider the nature of this eqaution. The negative on x^2 tells you that it is concave-down, and therefore peaks out above the line y=6, in the interval of x E (2, 3). So this means the solution is x E (2, 3) or 2 < x < 3. It is an exclusive interval, excluding the 2 and 3, because the original inequality uses an exclusive greater than sign.
