    Could i get some help working out dy/dx of arccoth(x)

    does that mean 1 = -1/sinh^2(y) * (coth(y))

    Could i get some help working out dy/dx of arccoth(x)

    Homework Statement y=arccoth(x), find the derivative Homework Equations cothx - coshx/sinhx The Attempt at a Solution y = arccoth(x) x = coth(y) = cosh(y)/sinh(y) quotient rule = (sinh(y)*sinh(y))-(cosh(y)*cosh(y))/(sinh(y))^2 = sinh^2(y) - cosh^2(y)/sinh^2(y) x=...

    Determining Mica Thickness Using Interference Fringes

    Homework Statement A thin flake of mica (n= 1.58) is used to cover one slit of a double slit interference arrangement. The central point on the viewing screen is now covered by what had been the 9th bright fringe before the mica was used. What is the thickness of mica if light of wavelength...

    Calculating Sonic Boom Time: Jet Aircraft at Mach 1.5 and Altitude of 5029m

    thanks. I got the right answer...in the end. I was using a converter for the mach to meters a second conversation that's why i got it wrong. But thanks for the help

    Calculating Sonic Boom Time: Jet Aircraft at Mach 1.5 and Altitude of 5029m

    ohh, i didnt pick up on the rearranging error. Now I get the horizontal distance to be 5619.51223. Is that right. Then if i divide that by 442.5696 (which is mach 1.5) i get 12.70, but the correct answer is 11, am i still doing something wrong? do i use taht equation?

    Calculating Sonic Boom Time: Jet Aircraft at Mach 1.5 and Altitude of 5029m

    i still get the same horizontal distance. I use tan theta = opposite/adjacent, which i rearrange to tan theta x adjacent = opposite, so tan 0.73 x 5029 = 4500.54. Is that right because i still get the wrong answer

    Calculating Sonic Boom Time: Jet Aircraft at Mach 1.5 and Altitude of 5029m

    i converted mach to meters a second but if i use 1/1.5 i get 0.73 degrees for theta. Using this i got 3171.18m for the horizontal distance. Now do i use time = distance/velocity, and if so do i keep the speed in mach or meters a second

    Calculating Sonic Boom Time: Jet Aircraft at Mach 1.5 and Altitude of 5029m

    i did that an got the angle as 0.8867. then i used tan-1 x adjacent equals opposite, which i had as the horizontal distance. Then i used time = distance/velocity but still get the wrong answer. Can you please help, am i still doing something wrong
