      @@zanti4132 There are two ways to speed up or slow down the audio. RUclips uses the spectrogram to speed up and slow down audio, resulting in no pitch shift, but if you speed up some audio as it is usually inputted, stored, and outputted, the pitch gets higher, and vice versa

      Agh, I know, it's amazing how enthusiastic you two are. I was talking to one of my friends the other day and the only word I can really use to describe it is that your guys' energy is just so infectious; watching your guys' videos is enough to just make me smile, it's absolutely amazing. Enthusiasm makes all of the difference - my numerical methods professor always looks like she wants to go be anywhere but there in our class and doesn't really have ANY energy so I always feel like going to sleep in her class, but then I see you guys, or my foundations of math prof or my number theory prof and all of you are so lighthearted that I can actually enjoy myself. Energy and passion really make quite a difference on imparting material to people from an educator's standpoint.

    Another method to solve this is to multiply numerator and denominator by 1/(4x^2). Then breakfast the numerator as {1+1/(2x^2} + {1-1/(2x^2)}. This method will not require partial fractions.

    • @peterfireflylund
      @peterfireflylund 7 лет назад

      Not a lot of English speaking Chinese in Continental Europe... Not on TV, either.
      A Chinese accent means almost all word endings (and syllable endings) get cut off -- which is problematic for Indo European languages because that's where all the inflections are. He did okay in another video where he spoke slower. He did that video in Chinese, too, which I surprisingly understood a bit of. The first part of this video was harder for me to understand than his video in Chinese!

    You can take x^2 common in the first step. Then you multiply and divide by 2 . Then add and substract 1 in the numerator . And so you have (x+1/x)^2 - 2 in the denominator and 1-1/x^2 in the numerator and and the integral becomes that of arctanx.
    And for the second part you have (x-1/x)^2 +2 in the denominator and 1+1/x^2 in the numerator/ use substitution and it becomes a partial fraction and you can integrate to give a logarithmic function .
    There is no need to factorise the expression.

    Get x² out u get
    1/2[(1+1/x²)/(x²+1/x²)+(1/x² - 1)/(x²+ 1/x²)]
    And reduce denominator to
    ( x+1/x)² -2
    And take the numerator inside d
    (Substitute t=numerator and make it dt)
    And u get a form of

    easier by factoring an x^2 from the denominator,and your integral becomes (1/x^2)/(x^2+1/x^2)dx than the denominator becomes either (x+1/x)^2-2 or (x-1/x)^2+2 and then force the derivative of the denominator to the nominator and done

      Marcus Åkerman the derivative of (1/x+x) is - 1/x^2 +1 , and since you factored x^2 from the denominator you formed that derivative, and then you add and subtract 1 and you formed the integral in terms of itself and an integral which has the form of f'/f which is lnf

    I decided to do this one on my own to see if I could do it and I ended up turning it into 1/2*integral(sqrt(cot(v))*dv) (where tan(v)=u and u=x^2) and I ended up having to watch your video on sqrt(tan(x))
    I'm not sure which method is more difficult but I do like how the trig sub worked out (I also ended up using w, q, and r subs)

    While the algebra is certainly interesting, this problem would become so much easier through the initial substitution x=t/SQRT{2} because then the denominator becomes t^4+4 which is perfectly factorable into the product of two quadratic polynomials. At the end you only have to backsub.

    I tried to solve this using a x²=tan ø trig sub. Which led to 2 times the integral of a reciprocal nightmare.

    You could write numerator as1/2 (x2+1) - 1/2(x2-1) and divide both numerator and denomitor hy x2 , easy

    Fantastic video as usual! I have a (probably silly) question. How do you know, in the partial fractions, that the numerator is a first degree polynomial (Ax+B) and not any other degree? Thanks in advance!

    • @Bignic2008
      @Bignic2008 7 лет назад +5

      Not a silly question at all! Notice that the denominators in the two parts of the partial fractions were quadratics, i.e. of degree two. That means that the numerator is exactly one degree less, so you need a degree one polynomial as the numerator. If the denominator happened to be a third degree polynomial, then you'd need a second degree one in the numerator, so something like Ax^2+Bx+C.
