SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

So, Some people (those who are not in our class, or
weren't there yesterday) reading this Scribe post may be a
little confused by the title.

The title is as such because Mr. K. actually started off the
class with a couple quot;Jedi mind tricksquot;!!! Isn't that
awesome?!?!

I won't go into detail, but let's just say:

THERE ARE NO GREY ELEPHANTS IN
DENMARK!!!

And so I begin the Calculus Related part of this Scribe post...

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
Well, Mr. K. then shoed us a couple pictures (man I wish the
slides were up) with questions pertaining the existence of
somethings that were not shown in the pictures, but were
eluded to by certain hints in these pictures.

i.e. You see a shadow of person on the ground, but have not turned around
to see this person yet. Is there someone behind you???

When we gave an answer he asked us why? We said because it
is implied. There aren't any visuals of the objects in question,
but certain evidence allows us to imply that they exist.

This leads to the topic of the day:
IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS!!!

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
So we moved on to a quick review of composite functions
and the chain rule, because we would have to use it later
on in the lesson.

In one example the answer was:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
Then we were asked to identify THIS function:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

It is, of course, a SEMI CIRCLE

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Now what's the equation of the full circle???

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

And that can be drawn as...

Return of the Jedi

However, a circle is not a function. But, is there a
function (besides √4-x2 and its opposite: -√4-x2) that is a
part of the circle???

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
Sure there is: There's this one...

Do you understand that there are an
infinite amount of functions with x as the
variable?

All of these functions hidden in the main
graph of a circle, are
IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS!!!

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
Now think of a relation such as the circle given
previously, and think how you would find the derivative
of any given point in the domain that relation?

There are infinite implicit functions, so who knows which
one you should find the derivative of because there are
many of these functions that go through the same points!

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

The only way to find the derivative of a
circle at any given point is by finding the
derivative of the relation using the
following derivation:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

First of all, let's use the following
equation of a circle:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Now let's find the derivative:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

First rewrite it as such:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Now we can recognize that the derivative
of 25 is always 0.

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Next, use the chain rule on the left side of
the equation...

remember it is:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Identify ƒ(x), g(x), and their derivatives:

The reason why the
inner function quot;g(x)quot;
is simply quot;yquot; is
because the inner
function of y^2 is an
implicit function. We
do not know exactly
what it is, but we
know it is there.

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
Did everyone see the red text on the
previous slide? It is very important!

The reason why the inner
function quot;g(x)quot; is simply
quot;yquot; is because the inner
function of y^2 is an
implicit function. We do
not know exactly what it
is, but we know it is there.

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Anyway, now using the outer and inner
functions, complete the chain rule:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Now combine it with the derivative of x2
(2x) and you have the derivative of the left
side of the equation...

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

therefore...

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Now solve for quot; y' quot;...

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
So now we know that the derivative (slope
of the tangent line) at any given point on
the circle x2 + y2 = 25 is given by the
following formula

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
So let's test it out.

Let's say we need to find the derivative of
the previous function at x=3.

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
First, find the output of when x=3:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
The next step is simple. To find the derivative
at that point, plug the coordinates into the
equation of the derivative of the circle:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
The derivative (slope of the tangent) at x = 3
is (-3)/4... Let's see if that is true.

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi
So yes, the derivative (slope of the tangent) at
any point of any circle with its center at the
origin (because the derivative of the constant
will always be zero) is given by:

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

From there, Mr. K. gave us some
examples to try and find the
derivative functions of relations
(which could have been seen on
the slides if they were up).

SCRIBE EPISODE 4:
Return of the Jedi

Then one final point was made:

When the numerator of the
derivative function of the relation
is 0, the tangent is a horizontal
line.

When the denominator is 0, then
the tangent is a vertical line.

(as seen on the next slide)

About it, that is...

For reading, thank you...
