    Characteristic Impedance differences

    Could I get a conceptual answer, supported by math, explaining why coax has less characteristic impedance than open wire feeds?I’m new to EE. Thanks for you patience.

    Inverse bulk modulus / compression or shear?

    Sorry to ask but could you please do the work they did or annotate it? It would help

    Inverse bulk modulus / compression or shear?

    The tutor wrote that out I think the compressive strength is the inverse of the bulk modulus? Could someone walk me through the problem solution? A few steps are skipped and the reasoning is not explicitly stated.

    Inverse bulk modulus / compression or shear?

    Hi, I'm afraid I not very good at these questions just yet and would like a walk through a bit better than the one I was given by my tutors. Thank you, please refer to the inline image.

    Question about area between curves (integral calc textbook q

    Oh I see so this is not some convention, but merely indicating the points on the graph? I've just never seen an asterisk used before, they usually use a different letter value (a, b, c) to designate constants. Can anyone confirm the previous poster?

    Difficulties with Substitution Rule (integration)

    Could you explicitly explain the correct method in terms of your liebnitz Rule?

    Difficulties with Substitution Rule (integration)

    The Lamar university web page on integration offers the same material and proof.

    Difficulties with Substitution Rule (integration)

    I can obviously do the chain rule and see how the final expression of the derivative is related to the original function but I can't seem to figure out the substitution Rule as an intuitive way of solving the indefinite integral of functions... bear with me if I'm too verbose, I've attached an...

    Rectangle optimization - possible text error

    Anyone confirm that the answer I got is correct?

    Rectangle optimization - possible text error

    Hi, I may have discovered a textbook error but I'm no calc whiz. I need an assist to find out if the question unintentionally described a square instead of a rectangle. I have attached the textbooks solution as well as my attempt at a solution. The numbers check out, I just want to make sure...

    Maxima minina on an interval (calculus+trig)

    I need to find the max/min of a function on an interval. The function is f(x)=x+cos(x) and the interval is <-PI,2pi> There is an attached solution but I do not understand how to arrive at the given solution (see screenshot). I would personally just take the derivative as F'(x)=1-sin(x) However...

    Trig idents while computing limit

    Thanks. I don't know why I didn't see that.

    Trig idents while computing limit

    That is the identity I used to expand the (x+h) terms but could not factor to the next step due to the sin(h) term... unless I made an error in my expansion that I haven't caught?
