Fancy algebra to find a limit and make a function continuous Differential Calculus Khan Academy.mp3
Something minus something times something plus something. So the first term is going to be the first something squared. So square root of x plus 4 squared is x plus 4. The second term is going to be the second something or you're going to subtract the second something squared. So you're going to have minus 3 squared, s...

The second term is going to be the second something or you're going to subtract the second something squared. So you're going to have minus 3 squared, so minus 9. In the denominator you're of course going to have x minus 5 times the square root of x plus 4 plus 3. So this has, I guess you could say simplified to, altho...

So this has, I guess you could say simplified to, although not arguably any simpler, but at least we've gotten our radical. We're really just playing around with it algebraically to see if we can then substitute x equals 5 or if we can somehow simplify it to figure out what the limit is. When you simplify the numerator...

Well that's x minus 5 over x minus 5 times the square root of x plus 4 plus 3. And now it pops out at you. Both the numerator and the denominator are now divisible by x minus 5. So you can have a completely identical expression if you say that this is the same thing. You can divide the numerator and the denominator by ...

So you can have a completely identical expression if you say that this is the same thing. You can divide the numerator and the denominator by x minus 5 if you assume x does not equal 5. So this is going to be the same thing as 1 over square root of x plus 4 plus 3 for x does not equal 5. Which is fine because in the fi...

Which is fine because in the first part of this function definition, this is for the case for x does not equal 5. So we could actually replace this, and this is a simpler expression, with 1 over square root of x plus 4 plus 3. And so now when we take the limit as x approaches 5, we're going to get closer and closer to ...

We're going to get x values closer and closer to 5, but not quite at 5. We can use this expression right over here. So the limit of f of x as x approaches 5 is going to be the same thing as the limit of 1 over the square root of x plus 4 plus 3 as x approaches 5. And now we can substitute a 5 in here. It's going to be ...

So we've got this function f of x that is piecewise continuous, it's defined over several intervals here.

So first, we want to figure out the derivative of x with respect to time. So the derivative of x with respect to time. So the derivative of the first thing times the second thing times y, plus just the first thing times the derivative of the second thing. So the derivative of y with respect to t is just dy dt. And then...

So the derivative of y with respect to t is just dy dt. And then finally, right over here, the derivative of 10y with respect to t is the derivative of 10y with respect to y, which is just 10, times the derivative of y with respect to t, which is dy dt. And there you have it. You have your relationship between dx dt, d...

You have your relationship between dx dt, dy dt, and x and y. So let's just make sure we have everything. This is what we're trying to solve for, dx dt. And let's see, we have another dx dt here. We're going to try to solve for that. We know what y is. y is equal to 15.

And let's see, we have another dx dt here. We're going to try to solve for that. We know what y is. y is equal to 15. We know what dy dt is. dy dt, if we make the convention since y is decreasing, we can say it's negative 20. So we know what this is.

So we get 20 times x is equal to x times y. y is 15. And just remember, I could have used this equation, but this is just one step further. We've already cross-multiplied. So it's x times y. y is 15. So it's x times 15 plus 10 times y. Plus 10 times 15. Did I do that right?

So it's x times y. y is 15. So it's x times 15 plus 10 times y. Plus 10 times 15. Did I do that right? 20x is equal to x times 15 plus 10 times 15. So let's see. If you subtract, so this is 20x is equal to 15x plus 150.

Did I do that right? 20x is equal to x times 15 plus 10 times 15. So let's see. If you subtract, so this is 20x is equal to 15x plus 150. Subtract 15x from both sides, you get 5x is equal to 30. 5x is equal to 150. My brain is getting ahead.

If you subtract, so this is 20x is equal to 15x plus 150. Subtract 15x from both sides, you get 5x is equal to 30. 5x is equal to 150. My brain is getting ahead. 5x is equal to 150. Divide both sides by 5, you get x is equal to 30 feet. x is equal to 30 feet right at this moment.
