I think they should stop watering down the curriculum, and return algebra 2 back to what it was, put back trigonometry as a full year class and get rid off precalculus, which is really algebra 2. The way it is now is terrible! I have been tutoring math and science for over 20 years, and the students know LESS than when I first started tutoring and certainly less than when I was in school. This is why we are getting farther and farther behind the rest of the world in math and science - lowering standards and not raising them. AND WHILE I AM ON MY RANT, GET CALCULATORS OUT OF MATH CLASSES AND THE SAT. THE CALCULATOR CAN DO MATH, MANY STUDENTS CANNOT!!!
Thank you very much, I am currently studying for an ASVAB Test and this was a much needed lesson. I will continue to educate myself through your channel.
The inverse cosine function only exists in quadrants 1 and 2 which means 240° is outside the range of the inverse cosine function since it’s in quadrant 3
Proving the formula for the vertex: the vertex is where the derivative of a function is zero and quadratic functions are written in the form of ax^2+bx+c and if we differentiate with respect to X we get 2ax+b=0 we rearrange for X to get the X-coordinate by taking away b from both sides so 2ax=-b then we divide both sides by 2a to get X=-b/2a
Undefined, this is the principal root which only asks for the positive number. It would be positive or negative if you put a plus-minus sign before it. E.g: sqrt(36)=6 but plus-minus sqrt(36)= plus-minus 6
