Solve Multivariable Sketch Problem: Power of e Function

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The problem involves sketching a region in the xy-plane related to the power of the e function, specifically focusing on the inequality e^{1-x+y^{2}} ≥ 1 and its implications for the parabola x = y^2 + 1.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationship between the exponent in the inequality and the resulting region to be sketched, questioning the original poster's interpretation of the problem.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided clarifications regarding the nature of the problem, emphasizing that the parabola serves as a boundary rather than the solution itself. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct interpretation of the inequality and its graphical representation.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some confusion regarding the relationship between the power of the e function and the boundaries defined by the parabola, as well as the conditions under which the inequality holds true.

Here is the problem I'm having some trouble with. The answer is fairly simple, it is the power of the e function. (the parabola x = y^2 + 1) I'm not sure how to get that, i could use some hints/help, thanks!

Think about what values for the power of an exponent give a result greater than one.
 
Are you aware that "The answer is fairly simple, it is the power of the e function. (the parabola x = y^2 + 1)" is NOT precisely true? That is, the region you are asked to sketch is NOT the parabola itself. The parabola is a boundary of the region. Indeed if you think about the fact that "power of the e function" is NOT x= y^2+ 1 nor a parabola, you might see what StatusX means!
 
I'll be kind: recall that [tex]e^w \geq 1[/tex] if, and only if, [tex]w\geq 0,[/tex] that is, if, and only if the exponent of e is greater than or equal to 0. You are asked to find (and sketch) all points in xy-plane (e.g. all values of x and y) such that [tex]e^{1-x+y^{2}}\geq 1,[/tex] which occurs if, and only if, [tex]1-x+y^{2}\geq 0[/tex] which describes the region in the xy-plane bounded by (and to the left of) the parabola [tex]x=1+y^{2}[/tex].

ohh, i see, i forgot that to get that's how to get the entire function greater than 1, i get it now, thanks everyone!
