Graphing functions with mapping vector vs transformation vector

Teacher 1 method to graph $y=2sqrt[3]{2(x-1)}+4$ says:




  1. Create the transformation vector of $<1,4>$ and plot this point as an ordered pair.

  2. Create a table of values for the parent graph of $y=sqrt[3]x$ using easy, reasonable x values $(-8, -1, 0, 1, 8)$.

  3. To this parent graph table, create 2 new columns and modify the x and y values with the stretch and compression values.

  4. From the plotted ordered pair of $(1,4)$ move over and up according to the new modified values.
    This works and creates correct ordered pairs.


Teacher 2 method:
1. Create a mapping vector of $<1/2 x+1, 2y+4>$




  1. Simply apply these to the parent graph ordered pairs.


teacher 2 method seems simpler. But then I ran into a function that doesn't seem to work with teacher 1 as follows:



$y=2^left(x+1right)-3$.



When I try to create the transformation vector of $<-1,-3>$ I see that this ordered pair is NOT on the graph. So applying the parent graph values to a point NOT on the graph clearly produce erroneous results.

When I use the method of creating $<x-1, y-3$ this works properly.



Why doesn't Teacher method 1 work for this simple exponential?

I think you know why method 1 didn't work for the exponential. It's because, exactly as you say, $(-1,-3)$ is not on the graph. Use the transformation vector $(-1,-3)$, but apply the parent graph values to the point $(-1,-2)$, which is on the graph, and see if that doesn't work.



Basically, when you strip away everything from the first equation, you're left with $y=root3of x$, which goes through the origin; but when you do the same for the second equation, you get $y=2^x$, which doesn't. That's the difference.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct.

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
