Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
It's gonna be zero everywhere until we get to minus t, and then at minus t, we're gonna jump up to some level. So let me put that point here. So this is minus tau, and this is plus tau. Right?

We don't care, infinity, minus infinity or positive infinity, because there's no area under any of those points of one over two tau d tau. We could write it, dt, sorry, one over two tau dt. So we could write it this way too, right? Because we can just take the boundaries from here to here, because we get nothing, the w...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Because we can just take the boundaries from here to here, because we get nothing, the whole other, whether t goes to positive infinity or minus infinity, and then over that boundary, the function is a constant, one over two tau. So we could just take this integral, and either way we evaluate it, we don't even have to ...

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
I think you're satisfied that the area under this is going to be one, regardless of what tau was. I kept this abstract. Now, if I take smaller and smaller values of tau, what's going to happen?

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
If my new tau is going to be, let's say here, let's say my new tau is going to be there. I'm just going to pick my new tau there.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
I think you see where I'm going with this. What happens as the limit as tau approaches zero? What is the limit as tau approaches zero of my little d sub tau function? What's the limit of this?

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
What's the limit of this? Well, these things are going to go infinitely close to zero, but this is the limit. They're never going to be quite at zero.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Your height here is going to go infinitely high, but the whole time, I said no matter what my tau is, because it was defined in very arbitrary terms, my area is always going to be one. So you're going to end up with your Dirac delta function. Let me write it, I was going to write it in x again. Your Dirac delta functio...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Your Dirac delta function is a function of t. Because of this, if you ask, what's the limit as tau approaches zero of the integral from minus infinity to infinity of d sub tau of t, dt?

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So as you take the limit as tau approaches zero, and I'm being very generous with my definitions of limits and whatnot.

And so by the same, I guess, intuitive argument, you could say that...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
And so by the same, I guess, intuitive argument, you could say that the limit as from minus infinity to infinity of our Dirac delta function of t, dt, is also going to be one. And likewise, Dirac delta function, I mean, this thing pops up to infinity at t is equal to zero, right? This thing, if I were to draw my x-axis...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Let's say that this is my y-axis. Let me just make that one. And let me just draw some points here. So it's one, two, three. That's t is equal to three. Did I say that was x-axis? That's my t-axis.
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So it's one, two, three. That's t is equal to three. Did I say that was x-axis? That's my t-axis. So this is t equal to three. And what I'm gonna do here, it's the Dirac delta function, it's gonna be zero everywhere. Everywhere.

That's my t-axis. So this is t equal to three. And what I'm gonna do here, it's the Dirac delta function, it's gonna be zero everywhere. Everywhere.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So what we do is we draw an arrow. We draw an arrow there. And the arrow, we usually draw the magnitude of the area under that spike. So we do it like this.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So we do it like this. And let me be clear, this is not telling me that the function just goes to one and then spikes back down. This tells me that the area under the function is equal to one.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3

Let's say I wanted to graph two times the Dirac delta of t minus two. How would I graph this? Well, I would go to t minus two. When t is equal to two, you get the Dirac delta of zero. So that's where you'd have your spike. And we're multiplying it by two. So you would do a spike twice as high like this.
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
When t is equal to two, you get the Dirac delta of zero. So that's where you'd have your spike. And we're multiplying it by two. So you would do a spike twice as high like this.

Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So you would do a spike twice as high like this. Now both of these go to infinity, but this goes twice as high to infinity. I know this is all being a little ridiculous now, but the idea here is that the area under this curve should be twice the area under this curve. And that's why we make the arrow go to two, to say ...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
And that's why we make the arrow go to two, to say that the area under this arrow is two. The spike would have to go infinitely high. So this is all a little abstract, but this is a useful way to model things that are kind of very jarring. That all of a sudden, obviously nothing actually behaves like this, but there ar...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
That all of a sudden, obviously nothing actually behaves like this, but there are a lot of phenomena in physics or the real world that kind of have this spiky behavior. Instead of trying to say, oh, what does that spike exactly look like? We say, hey, that's a Dirac delta function. And we'll dictate its impulse by some...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
And we'll dictate its impulse by something like this. And just to give you a little bit of motivation behind this, and I was gonna go here in the last video, but then I kind of decided not to.

So it's been stretched a distance y from its kind of natural, where it wants to go. And let's say I have some external force, external force right here. Let's say I have some external force right here on the spring. And of course, let's say it's ice on ice, there's no friction in all of this. I just wanna show you that...

And of course, let's say it's ice on ice, there's no friction in all of this. I just wanna show you that I can represent this behavior of this system with a differential equation. And actually things like the unit step function and the Dirac delta function actually start to become useful in this type of an environment....

So we know that, we know that F is equal to mass times acceleration. That's the basic physics right there. Now, what are all of the forces on this mass right here? Well, you have this force right here, and we'll say this in the positive rightward direction. So it's that force. Then you have a minus force from the sprin...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Well, you have this force right here, and we'll say this in the positive rightward direction. So it's that force. Then you have a minus force from the spring, right? The force from the spring is Hooke's law. It's proportional to how far it's been stretched from its kind of natural point. So its force in that direction ...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
The force from the spring is Hooke's law. It's proportional to how far it's been stretched from its kind of natural point. So its force in that direction is going to be ky, or you could call it minus ky, because it's going in the opposite direction of what we've already said is a positive direction. So the net forces o...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
So the net forces on this is F minus ky, and that's equal to the mass of our, it's equal to the mass of our object times its acceleration. Now, what's its acceleration? If its position is y, so if y is equal to position, if we take the derivative of y with respect to t, y prime, which we could also say dy dt, this is g...
Dirac delta function Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
And then if we take the derivative of that, y prime prime, which is equal to d squared y with respect to dt squared, this is equal to acceleration. Acceleration. So instead of writing a, we could write y prime prime. Y prime prime. And so if we just put this on the other side of the equation, what do we get? We get the...

Y prime prime. And so if we just put this on the other side of the equation, what do we get? We get the force, this force, not just this force, this is just F equals ma, but this force is equal to the mass of our object times the acceleration of the object plus whatever the spring constant is for this spring, plus k ti...

So if you had no outside force, if this was zero, you'd have a homogeneous differential equation, and in that case, the spring would just start moving on its own. But now this F, all of a sudden, kind of the non-homogeneous term, it's what the outside force you're applying to this mass. So if this outside force was som...

This is saying that at time is equal to two seconds, we're just gonna jar this thing to the right, and it's going to have an, and I'll talk more about it, it's gonna have an impulse of two. Its force times time is going to be, or its impulse is gonna have a one. So it's, and I don't wanna get too much into the physics ...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
And when you actually try to solve this differential equation you try to find an n of t that satisfies this, we found that an exponential would work. An exponential satisfies this differential equation. And it would look like this visually. It would look like this visually, where you're starting at a population of n na...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
It would look like this visually, where you're starting at a population of n naught. This is the time axis, this is the population axis. And as time increases, population increases exponentially. Now we said there's an issue there. What if Thomas Malthus is right? That the environment can't support, let's say that the ...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
Now we said there's an issue there. What if Thomas Malthus is right? That the environment can't support, let's say that the environment can't support, let me do this in a new color, let's say that the environment really can't support more than k, more than a population, more than a population of k. Then clearly the pop...

They're not going to be able to have food or water or resources or whatever it might be. They might generate too much pollution. Who knows what it might be. And so this first stab at modeling population doesn't quite do the trick, especially if you are kind of in Malthus' camp. And that's where P.F., and once again, I'...

And so this first stab at modeling population doesn't quite do the trick, especially if you are kind of in Malthus' camp. And that's where P.F., and once again, I'm sure I'm mispronouncing the name, Verhulst, who is going to come into the picture, because he read Malthus' work and said, well, yeah, I think I can do a p...

Let's set up another differential equation. And now let's say, okay, instead of, you know, if N is substantially smaller than what the environment can support, then yeah, that makes sense to have exponential growth. That makes sense to have exponential growth. But maybe we can dampen this, or maybe we can bring this gr...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
But maybe we can dampen this, or maybe we can bring this growth to zero as N approaches, as N approaches K. And so how can we actually modify this? Maybe we can multiply it by something that for when N is small, when N is much smaller than K, this term right over here is going to be close to one. And when N is close to...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
So let me write that. When N, so these are our goals for this term right over here. When N is much smaller, so much smaller, much smaller than K, so now the population is not constrained at all. People can have babies, and those babies can be fed, and then they can have babies, et cetera, et cetera. Then this thing sho...
Logistic differential equation intuition First order differential equations Khan Academy.mp3
People can have babies, and those babies can be fed, and then they can have babies, et cetera, et cetera. Then this thing should be close to one. And so then you have essentially our old model. But then as N approaches K, when N, as N approaches K, then this thing should approach, then this term, this term or this expr...
