solving equations but they get increasingly more impossible?

We will solve 4 impossible-looking equations, sqrt(x)+sqrt(-x)=2, ln(x)+ln(-x)=0, e^x+e^(-x)=0, and sin(x)+sin(-x)=2. From verifying the domains of the functions to finding real solutions, we go step-by-step through each equation. And just when you think you've got it figured out, we hit you with one more equation that's sure to blow your mind! Get ready to flex your mental muscles and solve some of the trickiest equations out there. #math #equation #blackpenredpen

    Exactly what I got! But, in a slightly different way. So, we have sin(x) + sin(-x) = 2 We know that sin(a) + sin(b) = 2sin(a+b/2)cos(a-b/2) So, applying this, we get, 2sin(x-x/2)cos(x+x/2) = 2 2sin(0)cos(x) = 2 0=2 The fact that sin(x) is an odd function struck me much later, and now I feel I wasted time doing all this😂

    Here's an alternate take for the exponential equation. That parabola-like curve is a catenary; and eˣ + e⁻ˣ = 2cosh(x); twice the hyperbolic cosine. But from Euler's formula, (circular) cosine can be written cos(x) = ½(e ͥˣ + e⁻ ͥˣ) = cosh(ix); likewise, because cos and cosh are even functions, cosh(x) = cos(-ix) = cos(ix) So eˣ + e⁻ˣ = 2cosh(x) = 0, means that 2cos(ix) = 0 = 2cos(-ix) But we know where cosine is 0: -ix = (n+½)π ; x = (n+½)iπ And that's another way to solve this one.

    If you, like me, are bothered by the fact that the process in part 1 doesn't yield both solutions, then read on. The reason is because a number has two square roots, and complex numbers don't have a preferred one of the two like positive real numbers do - you can't just take the "positive" square root because most complex numbers don't have a purely real, positive square root. More specifically, the problem is in the step √[-x] = i√x. Check this out: √[-(-x)] = i√[-x] = i*i*√x = -√x. So √x = -√x, which is absurd. The way to resolve this is that √[-x] may be either i√x or -i√x, depending on which square root of a number is being chosen.

Since the same goes for the imaginary part of the complex number, i.e Im(-z)=-Im(z), 2) and 3) can be combined to: 4) Im(x)=i*pi*(2n+1/2)=i*pi*(2m+1/2) So n and m needs to be equal, and the final solution is (still): x=0+i(1+4n)pi/2 with n being any integer.

    I might be wrong, but I've always thought it wasn't correct to use SQRT and LN with negative numbers, thought there are complet solutions. So is it "correct" to write SQRT(-1)=i and ln(-e)=1+iPi for example? IDK if it's only to avoid confusion, but all math teachers keep using the definition of i as i²=-1, but never SQRT(-1)=i

    Hey, i’m in algebra1 right now and i have been thinking about testing out of some math classes in the future and siblings/friends have told me that pre calc is just algebra2 a bit more advanced trigonometry and a few more concepts? If i end up doing well in algebra 2 and i feel confident with my algebra skills would it be a good idea to test out of pre calc? I have also been wondering if it is a good idea to test out of geometry. I have been studying a lot and I so far have learned about some trig (just basics sin, cos, tan, unit circle etc). I have been averaging roughly 75-90% on some online practice tests. I also plan on going for some sort of stem major at a top school (like Caltech). The careers I have thought about so far are astrophysics, or quantum mechanics. I know that is a long ways a way but I think its kinda fun to think about and I hear about people not knowing what to do when they hit 12th grade so it cant hurt.
