Homework Statement [/B] Homework Equations $$f_u- \frac{d}{dx} \left(f_{u'} \right) = 0 $$ $$f_v- \frac{d}{dx} \left(f_{v'} \right) = 0 $$ The Attempt at a Solution So I calculated the following, if someone could check what I've done it would be greatly appreciated, but I'm not convinced...

Hello. How do I solve this equation without killing the k(y) term: I managed to derive an analytical solution for this one. I intend to run the numerical solution via Runge-Kutta but I can't stop myself from killing the k(y) term. I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong... It goes...

If you have a function x = x(u,t) then does u necessarily depend on x and t? so u = (x,t) For example, if x(u,t)=u^2 t it seems that because t=x/u^2 , t=t(x,u) I am having difficulty working out the general equation for dz \over dx if z=z(x,y,t) x=x(u,t) y=y(u,v,t) The chain rule...

Here we have a problem that asks us to identify which variables are dependent and independent. Hint: independent variables are not influenced and remain unch...

It's helpful to express an equation on a graph where we plot at least 2 points. Watch and we'll show you. Practice this lesson yourself on KhanAcademy.org ri...

We're flipping the last video on its head and doing the opposite. This time we give you the graph and ask you to express it as an equation. Practice this les...

Hi everyone I have a quick question about independent and dependent variables. Homework Statement The following data set gives the number of miles traveled, and the travel time in hours for each of the 10 car's driving assignments. Miles Time 90 9 40 5 90 9 90...

If we have a function: \begin{equation} f(x,x',y,y',t) \end{equation} and we are trying to minimise this subject to a constraint of \begin{equation} g(x,x',y,y',t) \end{equation} Would we simply have a set of two euler lagrange equations for each dependent variable, here we have x and y...

Hi. I have thought that the variables q and q' in L = L(q, q') are independent. (q' = dq/dt) Of course q and q' are functions of time t , but they are only dependent in terms of t . However, in the sight of general(or abstract? I mean, not specific) functional L(q, q'), q and q' are just...

Homework Statement Based on Microdosimetry theory, trying to figure out error propagation for a lot of quantities that are produced from radiation spectra. I am having trouble finding information on how to calculate and propagate errors when the quantities in my equations are not independent...

Homework Statement Let X and Y be rv's with joint pdf f(x,y) = 6(1-y) for 0≤x≤y≤1 and 0 elsewhere find Pr(X≤3/4, Y≤1/2) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Ok I am having trouble with finding the right limits of integration for dependent variables. If we let the...

Hello everyone! The problem: $X,Y,Z$ are random variables that are dependent and uniformly-distributed in $[0,1]$, and let $\alpha$ be a given number in $[0,1]$. I am asked to compute the following: $\text{Pr}(X+Y+Z>\alpha \;\;\; \& \;\;\; X+Y\leq \alpha)$ What I have so far...

Homework Statement See figure attached Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I am not concerned with part (a), I have deduced that indeed X and Y are dependent. I'm not sure if I have done part (b) correctly, and I am quite certain I have done part (c) incorrectly, but...

i am having a hard time understanding partial derivative for function of dependent variables. for example let's consider $$z=x+y$$ so by usual steps that are mentioned on e.g wikipedia etc. $$\frac{\partial}{\partial x}z=1$$ but what if its also true that $$y=x$$ (or in other words...

Hi, I am trying to identify the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment: Two groups of patients (Epileptic and Normal) are exposed to varying wavelengths of light and their neural response is quantified and recorded. I am using...

Hi guys, Problem: Let {Xn},{Yn} - real-valued random variables. {Xn}-->{X} - weakly; {Yn}-->{Y} weakly. Assume that Xn and Yn - independent for all n and that X and Y - are independent. Fact that {Xn+Yn}-->{X+Y} weakly, can be shown using characteristic functions and Levy's theorem...

Hello all, Please excuse my naive question that follows. I do not have much experience in Statistics and need to obtain a set of variables which assures randomness in the variables. From central limit theorem, I believe addition of random independent variables assures randomness of the...

In statistical mechanics we express partial derivatives of functions, keeping some variables fixed. But these variables are functions of the other variables (which are not fixed). I'm just confused by this, what is the convention for taking these derivatives? For example, if we have S as a...

Hi all, I have a question of computing the expectation of random sums. E(sim_{k=1}^N X_k) = E(N)E(X) if N and X_1, X_2,...are independent and X_k's are iid. Here both N and X_k's are r.vs. But the condition of N and X_1, X_2,...being independent is not true in many cases. How will...

I'm doing a lab where i need to calculate the heat energy, or enthalpy using the equation (delta) H = m x c x T my reactions are going to be of a strong acid and a strong base: Sulfuric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide→ Sodium Sulfate + Water and of a wek acid and the same strong base...

That's right, I said dependent. Does anyone have any experience dealing with such beasts. I haven't been able to find a single mention of them in any textbook on PDEs. The thing I'm really curious to know is whether the method of separation of variables works as usual, e.g. if the dep vars...

This probably has a really simple answer. Forr u=x^2-y^2 and v=x^2+y^2 x and y are apparently the dependent variables. But the independent variable is the input while the dependent variable is the output, so since u=f1(x,y) and v=f2(x,y) shouldn't they (u and v) be the dependent variables?

Here is a trig question that I've been thinking about. I want to know which one would be the independant and the dependant of the points (r , theta)
