oh c'mon kid we are not here to do your homework!
I am not asking you to do my homework. I am asking for some one to explain the complex issues that I do not get. I have no one that I can ask for help at home or within my group of friends. All of my coworkers avioded Calc like the plague and I cannot stay after school for help as often as I need it. If you have an issue with me, then confront me. Leave this forum out of it. It was designed to help people in mathematics.

Whoa, whoa, what?

I'm in Calculus as well, and.. you must be farther than me. Because we never learned maxes and mins. You don't by chance mean the limits as x approaches positive and negative infiniti, do you?


that's weird... i'm in grade 10 and i've already learned max and mins


It's a bit different in calculus. It won't be just all parabolic functions.... which was all we did in grade nine =S There'll be more complex functions and such.

Yes.. thats apsolutly true.... And cuspes... they can be relative max and min too, and yet (without graphing it on your precios caculator (or on paper))... I'd like to see you tell me exacly where an extrema with a cusp falls....

I have a huge calculus packet to finish before I get back from break. Actually, two of them. And I can't seem to remember how to do the trapezoid rule. That thing is annoying. Eep. I don't need help with it though. I'll figure it out.
But... what are we supposed to be helping with?

Whoa, heady stuff. Cool. Wish I could help. I'm only in Algebra II. Interesting topic, though.

I'm having some difficulty with integrating. I took my midterm today and one of the questions asked that I find the equation for h when h=17 and t=0. The problem is:
dh/dt=(-1/5)(h^1/2)
I cannot figure out how to integrate it because when I try to integrate for dh you get: dh=(-1/5)(h^1/2)dt an as far as i know, that cannot be integrated. Help?

BTW others can ask for help as well. This thread was not created for my own gain. If I can help, I will.

Fluid dynamics requires an in-depth knowledge of the subject, I've found. The high point of my current mathematical career involves confusing the librarians and getting hyper because I found out that my class will finally get to 'e'...I wish I hadn't read it last year...it's making me slack off and fail. o_O

Meh, I bet they don't know, either.

Anyone heard of the number phi? (no, I am not misspelling pi). Apparently it is used for a whole lotta stuffs...

To do this, I'd take

dh=(-1/5)(h^1/2)dt

and move all the h stuff to one side

(-5)(h^(-1/2)) dh=dt

You should be able to integrate that. Don't forget the constant. Evaluate the constant using the fact that when h=17 and t=0 the equation balances. Then it shouldn't be too difficult to change the subject of the formula.

Good luck.

Thanks Rabbit. I just took my final today and we had a similar question. Twas fun this time around.

I miss my calc class... it was great.
Hey AP test scores later in the month... *scared* man that was a hard test... not what we were expecting... but hey think i did alright for not getting the questions i wanted.

I know some calculus, but not much. I'm doing geometry.

Oh no... it apears that teh Mathematics forum is dieing...
BTW. I heard someone saying something once about "differentiation by parts"... I questioned the individual and he swore he was not confusing it with "partial differentiation" or with my so much beloved "Integration by Parts".
I have not found any such "differentiation by parts" and I only image it cannot be the undoing of Integration by Parts since well, quite plain that would leave what is gerenally if not always called 'The Product Rule'...
But I am hopeful. That being a math forum... someone here may have some information as to what this "differentiation by parts" is, if infact it is period.
...hey look guys. I just rolled 12 equilateral triangles...
