The graph displayed is f'(x), the gradient function. Assuming that it has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0, then it never touches the x-axis. That means f'(x) > 0, so always positive! Doesnt matter if the f' graph is swirling/jumping crazily as long as it is > 0 for all real x.
Positive gradient...
(i) Increasing.
The sign of the derivative shows when the curve is increasing (>0) or decreasing (<0) because derivative is the gradient function. i.e. input a point and it outputs the gradient at the point to the curve or gradient of tangent.
Increasing: gradient always positive so curve is...
Since v is a real number, then v^2 is always positive and is at least 0.
C = 1000 + 10v^2 \geq 1000 + 2(0) = 1000
That is the same as
C \geq 1000
Which means that C is at least 1000.
Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon
Maximise LHS by maximising RHS and how do you maximise RHS? (hint: fraction)
Ding dong, calculus problem without needing to go nuts on differentiating that junk mindlessly.
Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
ahh yeah, that's an easier way
so yep you are correct on saying Real < 0 and Im = 0 for the points where log is not analytic
Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
yeah there are more
if you consider the log curve in real and extend to complex, here are the areas where log is analytic
Re(z + 1/z + 2) > 0
and
Im(z + 1/z + 2) != 0
Why don't you know why? Surely the teacher would be happy to tell you where your errors lie..
Maybe you need to revise HSC verbs? Like evaluate means adv+disadv+conclusion on which side you want to take
