    Precalc Resources
AI Thread Summary
Learning resources for graph expansions and compressions are sought, particularly for understanding how to write functions based on these transformations. The original poster finds the material counter-intuitive and has struggled to find relevant resources, including on Khan Academy. Suggestions include checking YouTube for short, visual tutorials that explain the concepts effectively. Users recommend watching example videos to better grasp the transformations. Overall, visual learning through video content is highlighted as a beneficial approach for mastering these topics.

Does anyone know where I might find some learning resources on expansions/compressions of graphs - in particular, taking the compressions/expansions/translations and writing the function?

I'm finding this very counter-intuitive and have gone over all the material I have on the subject for the course but I'm still struggling with it. I've tried to find something for this on the Khan site but no results when I did the search. So if anyone knows any great resources for learning this i'd appreciate it.

Try the first link of the forums labeled "Learning Resources".

That was the first place I looked.
 
Sorry about that, my phone froze.

I checked the label and saw a pretty small inventory. When I had trouble learning trigonometry, I went on youtube and watched them do 2 or 3 examples.

You visually see what they refer to as they explain the concept. Usually, they're less than 10 minutes videos and you'll get more out of it than texts.

Good idea - i'll give it a look and see if I can find something on there.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
