yesss, exactly!
18,400

volunteer
okay, so, f(x) = x^3 - 9 and f(-x) = -x^3 + 9
18,400
32
[]
volunteer
what's true about the relationship of the two?
18,400
33
[]
volunteer
is there an operation you could use to get from one to the other?
18,400
34
[]
student
theyre like the conjugate pairs
18,400
35
[]
student
idk.
18,400
36
[]
volunteer
no, that's a great thought!
18,400
37
[]
volunteer
yeah, the - 9 changed to a + 9
18,400
38
[]
volunteer
but the x^3 switched signs too
18,400
39
[]
volunteer
all of the parts switched signs, here
18,400
40
[]
volunteer
which is equivalent to multiplying by...
18,400
41
[]
student
-1
18,400
42
[]
volunteer
yessss, exactly!!!
18,400
43
[]
volunteer
by multiplying f(x) by -1, you get f(-x), right?
18,400
44
[]
volunteer
so -f(x) = f(-x)
18,400
45
[]
volunteer
and this holds for all odd functions, you should play around with it later!
18,400
46
[]
student
oki
18,400
47
[]
volunteer
does that make sense? it's a pretty tricky concept, I always struggled with it
18,400
48
[]
student
yea i kinda understand
18,400
49
[]
volunteer
alright--we can come back to it at any point
18,400
50
[]
volunteer
just remember for now, -f(x) = f(-x)
18,400
51
[]
volunteer
okay, so lets say we look at the first relationship, where g(a) = -17
18,400
52
[]
volunteer
we want to find what a makes this true, right?
18,400
53
[]
student
uh huh
18,400
54
[]
volunteer
okay, so, let's apply this relationship
18,400
55
[]
volunteer
-g(a) = f(-a) for odd functions
18,400
56
[]
volunteer
so what's -g(a)?
18,400
57
[]
student
17
18,400
58
[]
volunteer
yess, amazing
18,400
59
[]
volunteer
okay, so lets plug that in to our equation
18,400
60
[]
volunteer
17 = f(-a)
18,400
61
[]
volunteer
sorry, g(-a)
18,400
62
[]
volunteer
can you find a place on the chart where g of something equals 17?
18,400
63
[]
student
17,23
18,400
64
[]
volunteer
ooh, close!
18,400
65
[]
volunteer
here, does x = 17 or does g(x) = 17?
18,400
66
[]
student
g(x)
18,400
67
[]
volunteer
looking at the chart, g(x) is at the bottom. is the 17 at the bottom there?
18,400
68
[]
student
yea
18,400
69
[]
volunteer
for which one?
18,400
70
[]
student
12
18,400
71
[]
volunteer
there you go!
18,400
72
[]
volunteer
amazing, okay
18,400
73
[]
volunteer
so if f(-a) = 17, what's -a?
18,400
74
[]
student
wait how am i supposed to know which is g(-a) and -g(x)
18,400
75
[]
student
-g(a)*
18,400
76
[]
volunteer
okay, yeah, sorry!
18,400
77
[]
volunteer
I think I didn't explain that very clearly
18,400
78
[]
volunteer
the thing is, they're equal
18,400
79
[]
volunteer
so either one works
18,400
80
[]
volunteer
we could do it the other way around
18,400
81
[]
volunteer
so like if g(a) was 3 for example, than -g(a) which is -3 would equal g(-3)
18,400
82
[]
volunteer
or other way around, you could plug it into the other side and get the same result
18,400
83
[]
volunteer
I'm sorry, it's confusing to explain it over messages
18,400
84
[]
student
its okayy
18,400
85
[]
student
you can speak if you want 😭
18,400
86
[]
volunteer
I'm in a library :sobs:
18,400
87
[]
student
oooo
18,400
88
[]
volunteer
okay, wait, let's go back to the problems
18,400
89
[]
volunteer
I think (I hope) it'll make a bit more sense afterwards
18,400
90
[]
volunteer
so far we've got g(-a) = -g(a), and -g(a) is 17
18,400
91
[]
volunteer
we know these are equal and there's only one value for a
18,400
92
[]
volunteer
so g(-a) = 17
18,400
93
[]
volunteer
and g(12) = 17
18,400
94
[]
volunteer
as you found out earlier
18,400
95
[]
volunteer
so, what do you think a might be?
18,400
96
[]
student
uh
18,400
97
[]
student
12..
18,400
98
[]
volunteer
close!!!
18,400
99
[]
student
-12….
18,400
100
[]
volunteer
yes!!!!!!!
18,400
101
[]
volunteer
because g(-(-12)) = g(12) = 17
18,400
102
[]
volunteer
so what would a be?
18,400
103
[]
student
uh what
18,400
104
[]
volunteer
you already did it
18,400
105
[]
student
-12?
18,400
106
[]
volunteer
just confirming lol
18,400
107
[]
volunteer
YES
18,400
108
[]
volunteer
amazing job!!
18,400
109
[]
volunteer
essentially, what you need to do for this is solve the equation -g(x) = g(-x)
18,400
110
[]
volunteer
it's just like an algebra problem, except that you have to deal with functions so it's a bit trickier
18,400
111
[]
volunteer
does that sort of make sense?
18,400
112
[]
student
uh kinda
18,400
113
[]
student
lets try to solve for b and maybe ill get it lol
18,400
114
[]
volunteer
yes, let's!
18,400
115
[]
volunteer
okay, so, do you have any ideas on how we can start with this one?
18,400
116
[]
volunteer
(it's okay if not too!)
18,400
117
[]
student
-g(b)=g(-b)?
18,400
118
[]
volunteer
amazing!!!
18,400
119
[]
volunteer
is there anything you can fill in there?
18,400
120
[]
student
-g(b)=11
18,400
121
[]
volunteer
ooh, close!
18,400
122
[]
volunteer
g(b) = 11 for sure, nice find!
18,400
123
[]
volunteer
so what would -g(b) be?
18,400
124
[]
student
ohh
18,400
125
[]
student
-11
18,400
126
[]
volunteer
perfect!
18,400
127
[]
volunteer
okay, so now we have -11 = g(-a)
18,400
128
[]
volunteer
any ideas of where to go from here?
18,400
129
[]
volunteer
do you see any g(x) that equals -11?
18,400
