  • In this video, I used the differentiability and continuity properties of a piece-wise function to determine the unkown constants.

      @@sloosh2188 not much honestly. We went over piecewise graphs for limits which was confusing when I had never seen piecewise functions before. But once we got to differentiation and beyond we abandoned piecewise functions.

      @@JourneyThroughMath That's all my calc 1 class did with them as well, interesting to me that you dont remember much from it since i feel like i remember every god damn thing from those lessons lol. while theyre not practical in real life (really at all) theyre a great tool for actually understanding the definition of differentiability/ continuity, but if that was your first introduction to them i can totally see how it didnt really stick with you. What math are you taking now bro? im in Diff EQ and lin alg currently.

    Since differentiability implies continuity, it might be a good idea to work the derivative part before you work the limit part .

    The equation of the tangent at the graphic representation of f: x ---> x^2 + x at x = -3 is y = f'(-3).(x +3) + f(-3) = -5.(x +3) + 6 = -5.x -9
    So the function will be C1 on -3 (and on R) if a.x + b is identical to -5.x -9, so a = -5 and b = -9 (it will not be C2)

    Did you forget an “or equal to” in the first part of the piecewise function? Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m just an average high school math student) but if x = -3 you can only use the second part of the piecewise function (the line with unknown coefficients and constants is only used for values less than -3) so I don’t understand how the derivatives have to be equal at x=-3.

    Before watching the video: Only point where this function couldn't be differentiable is x=-3. In order for it to be differentiable there it first needs to be continuous, so lim x-->-3 of f(x) must exist or lim x-->-3 from the right and left are equal. From the left we see this is lim x-->-3 (Ax+B)= -3A+B and from the right lim x-->-3 (x^2+x)= (-3)^2+(-3)=9-3=6, setting them equal gives 1st equation is -3A+B=6. Next the derivatives of both piecewise branches should be equal at x=-3 to have a defined derivative so (Ax+B)'=(x^2+x)' at x=-3 or A=2x+1 at x=-3 so A=2(-3)+1=-6+1=-5. Plugging this back into the first equation yields -3(-5)+B=6 or 15+B=6 so B=-9. Our solution is thus A=-5 and B=-9.

    That was not a correct problem description.
    What you SHOWED in the video was DOUBLE differentiability. Differentiability in the SECOND derivative.
    What you ASKED for in the presentation at the beginning was SIMPLE differentiability. Differentiability in the FIRST derivative.
    Since for the simple differentiability, the curves have just to match at the overturn point, you may chose one of the parameters freely.

      No the 1st part was the use of continuity of f(x) and then he used differentiability of it and simply differentiated both sides of f(x).

Well: you could argue that there was the term "continuity" in the title.

      Oh, I think you misunderstand the problem. Ax+B is not the derivative of x²+x.
