Horizontal Translation of Logarithmic Functions

-- Formulae: -> g(x) = logb (x + c) -> g(x) = logb (x - c)

-- g(x) = logb (x + c) shifts the graph of f(x) = logb (x) to the left c units and moves the vertical asymptote to x = -c

-- g(x) = logb (x - c) shifts the graph of f(x) = logb (x) to the right c units and moves the vertical asymptote to x = c

you have $100. due to a squid games type escapade, you are currently trapped in Whole Foods and can't leave or someone will take you out with a bullet to the brain. you have to buy all the food you eat. you can't shoplift it or steal it from the other competitors. a carton of 12 organic eggs costs $10.

your friend Greg has $100. due to a competing squid games franchise, he is trapped in a Costco. he can't leave, or they'll set the dogs on him. he still has to buy all the food he eats. he can buy 36 eggs for $7

which one of you will starve first? are you or Greg functionally "wealthier" within your respective squid game?

It’s nights like these where I really miss playing Graphwar with the bros in 2021

my math career peaked in high school because that’s when I learned how to combine sine/cosine functions with absolutely everything for increased coverage, AND fine-tune my aim with absolute value functions…

10/10 my friend was absolutely destroyed… and then subsequently learned how to do 10x more damage after only a week!

some traditional kuwameshi omg. i like to think kuwabara's done with his exams and yusuke was like perfect >:)) it's time. to go hang out. unrestrained summer fun commences

edit: i also did kurama and hiei but i didn't wanna make a separate post :p

a real quote from my professor

Symmetry: The beauty of Mathematics

Listen, symmetry isn’t just aesthetic. It’s the backbone of mathematics, the reason your equations behave, and honestly, the only thing keeping some functions from spiraling into utter chaos. And here’s the truth: symmetry isn’t just about looking pretty; it’s about mathematical harmony, balance, and the deeply satisfying moment when everything aligns perfectly, just as it should.

The Y-Axis Mirror Selfie (a.k.a Even Functions)

2. The Rotational Drama Queens (a.k.a Symmetry about the Origin; odd functions)

3. Group Theory Symmetry : the reason your Rubik's Cube works and why physicists don’t spiral into existential despair when studying quantum particles.

Cyclic groups, Dihedral groups and Lie groups

4. Polar Coordinates—aka the Art Students of Math

Polar graphs SCREAM symmetry. Roses? Circles? LEMNISCATES?

the bottom line : Symmetry is how we recognize order in chaos. And symmetry isn’t just confined to math. You see it in biology (DNA), art (da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man), and even in the way we naturally find faces with symmetry more attractive. It's everywhere, from the humble parabola to the complex eigenfunctions of quantum systems. So next time you plot a graph, take a second to appreciate the sheer elegance of its symmetry. Or lack of symmetry—because asymmetry can be just as hot.
