>In our definitions for domain and ranges, we used 1/x as an example. I want to use Shin as one, but you can't really quantify it... unless we're talking about his 0.0%, haha!
>As we know, x=0 yields an undefined y-value. And that's no bueno.
>Asymptotes, for starters, is a line which a curve continuously approaches, but never meets.
>Here, I'll give a good example, it's a personal favorite:
UNIT 1: LIMITS/CONTINUITY P.2
>Oh... Did I get sidetracked? I'm sorrry, and I mean it! Don't look at me like that.
>We'll be finishing the rest of the definitions for asymptotes, limits, and end behavior!
@linguistsou >You'll never know until you try!
>Come on, just once?
@linguistsou >If it's annoying you that much, then would you like me to do a little ear barotrauma so that you won't have to hear me or anything ever again?
>Trust me, I'll make it painless and serene... for the most part, haha.
>You don't need your hearing to be cute, so it's a win-win!
>What did they do, you wonder?
>They ultimately substituted the "sh" with the "ch" sound from the Greek letter Chi/Kai, X.
>It reminds me of how Shin tries so hard to be like me! It's cute, haha.
>Now, do I need to explain the rest? I'm getting bored now.
>The word, al-shayun, meaning specific/unknown thing, was commonly used in early mathematics. It was their equivalent of modern "x".
>However, European, specifically Spanish, translation of al-shayun didn't go all well, because there wasn't a "sh" in their language!
>The of algebra are derived from Muhammad al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician.
>The "Father of Algebra," he was famous for his book, Kitab al-Jabr. Al-Jabr sounds a lot like algebra, right?
>Well, like how algorithm is derived from al-Khwarizmi, so is algebra for Al-Jabr!
>...Bored..
>A little trivia might just service it.
>Do you ever wonder why X are commonly used as the "unknown" variables, similarly like what's your worth beyond being entertainment for others?
