Homework Statement Homework Equations Z = √(XC2 + XL2) XL = 2πƒL XC = 1 / 2πƒC I = V/Z The Attempt at a Solution First off, thank you for all of the help this semester. I'm sure you'll be seeing questions from me in the spring also. Here is how I'm thinking about this problem: 1. Using the...

1. Find 2nd degree maclaurin polynomial that approximates f(x)=sec(x) 2. Find 3rd degree Taylor polynomial that approximates f(x)=(2/x) at c=1 3. Find radius of convergence of power series n=0 to infinity: ((2n)!*x^(2n))/(n!) 4. Find interval of convergence of power series n=1 to infinity...

I took my EM final today and am feeling pretty good about it! Now I just have to take my multivariable final... Anyway, good luck fellow students =D

It's the end of the semester, so good luck to everyone on their finals! May the Force be with you ;-P

Alright so I know that I am thinking far into the future here but I think it is necessary. I am a freshman in college and I am a physics major but my grades are poor. My first semester I got 2 C's(physics and math) because I did not study a lot. This semester I'm doing better, I'll get an A in...

I have physics finals coming up and I need to study well. Do you have any recommendations while studying?

Hi everyone, I haven't been successful in Discrete Math this semester. I have finished all of the calculus I-III series and I did very well. I want to know if anyone can give me some tips on how to study for my final coming up in a few days. Now, I understand that is a vague question but I am...

Can someone explain how to determine if a compound has a dipole moment and how to determine how big or small it is (possibly numerical value)? I have a final tomorrow and I've looked this up on multiple website and cannot find any good explanation.

< Mentor Note -- thread moved from General Math to the Homework Help forums >Hi all, Calc II finals is 4-5 weeks away...We're on Taylor Series right now, but I wanted to get started early on studying for the final. I have a few questions that are confusing me that I took from a final exam I saw...

Do you base it on difficulty of the class or a percentage of the actual class cost? Typically I do 15% of the course registration fee, but I would like to know what's the acceptable standard. edit: here's a useful link: http://www.indiana.edu/~kruschke/lab/tipping.html Provides...

I'm looking for some really good an thorough multiple choice practice finals for my Electricity and Magnetism class. anyone have any recommendations? My goal is to get an A on this final and that is going to be very difficult so i need some really good practice. thank you for you help.

Homework Statement A ball of mass m and radius r (Icm = 2mr^2 /5) is released from rest, and rolls without slipping down a ramp. (a) Draw a free body force diagram for the ball. [Hint: careful—there has to be friction. (Why?) Further, it is static friction, and not kinetic friction...

I've been a pretty good student all my life, been in honors classes, AP classes and what not, gotten A's and B's without putting much effort in. I'd read over something once and remember enough of it to get by, but now that I'm in college I'm starting to realize it isn't quite enough anymore. So...

This story is right in so many ways I can't stand it. Reducing stress before an exam has been proven to help students, focus and concentrate, resulting in better grades. Using puppies to do so is a stroke of genius, IMHO. What a cute bunch... Rhody... :biggrin: o:)

I imagine there are at least a few other people watching this, here. No poll because predictions seem pointless without context, but who do you think wins (and why)? It really pains me to say it (I've been a Mavericks fan since Finley-Nash-Nowitzki), but I think the Heat will win. Here are my...

Homework Statement My professor warned us that a few proofs will be on the finals. This could be one of them. However, we did a proof in class where he listed out a bunch of terms and then did an inequality to say it is divergent. I personally hated that long proof. I don't want to...

Homework Statement PART B Homework Equations P = \rho gh The Attempt at a Solution Well I tried doing 412 = (1025)(9.8)h.. Divide by 10045 (9.8 x 1025). And ended up getting .041.. I found out that I need to use 412 x 105 for the pressure which I have no idea why. Any help...

I just took my final exam in Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering. I could go on describing how horrible/well it went, but a certain question has caused major disagreement. We had to solve Io (the current leaving the Op Amp) and Vo (the voltage at the output of the op amp)...

Hello, How much time do you average per course (Math and Physics) for your final exams? Let's say you have 8 consecutive days with nothing else to do than study(However, you could decide to do whatever you want, leisure, work, socializing...), how would you organize your time? Thanks for...

Can anyone share some good methods to study for the finals(college). Do you think it is better to study alone or with classmates? any tips of memorizing things?

In light of the recent UEFA and NBA Finals threads, I thought I'd create a thread on the upcoming Stanley Cup Finals of the NHL (National Hockey League)! This is the championship series of the NHL, having spent the last month and a half...

I have a final coming soon in Chemistry, and it is going to be comprehensive. I am really nervous about it, and I am not sure of a good study strategy. I know I can't read the entire book in a week, so I was hoping someone might have a good study plan for a comprehensive exam. Thanks in advance

just out of curiosity, has anyone ever received good marks on their final exams by cramming all the material you learned for the class for two days? I crammed once for a calculus class, and its no walk in the park I tell ya.

Hi everybody. My physics final is right around the corner and i was just wondering if there was any good way to help prepare and study. Physics isn't the easiet subjects for me, i tend to over think problems and get myself all nervous. Please let me know if there are any problem solving...

Ok so finals are over for me. I know I got an A in macro-econ, A in Calulus, and an A in Chem II. There is just one class I am worried about, calc-physics. I always did my homework, got a B on the first test, and an A on the second exam. The problem was I think I choked on the final. I have...

Physics "B" Kinematics, Dynamics, Rotational Motion, E/W,Torque Test-- Where to find? I'm looking for a Physics "B" Kinematics, Dynamics, Rotational Motion, E/W,Torque Quiz or Test that includes solutions and/or answers. Where is the Quiz section on PF?? I took a quiz a while ago and I can't...

As a new transfer student, I'm not up on all the traditions, so I did not go running through Westwood in my undies last night: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-ex-undie14dec15,0,6116670.story?coll=la-home-headlines what are/were your school traditions for blowing off steam during finals...

Well, here I go, six hours of finals starting right now. Special Relativity and Thermal Physics.

I had two finals today, Geography and Mechanics of Materials. I knew before hand that I had a 90% in geography, which means I need nothing less than a 90% to keep my grade. I studied for that more than my materials class. I knew...ehhhhhhhhh...more or less 70% of it. The remaining 20% fairly...

Whooohoooo! I can hardly wait. I was shooting for all A's...but yeah...History held me back! Oh well...I shall soon see the final result of all those sleepless nights that I spent studying...

Hello I've recently qualified for the finals of the Swedish programming olympics. Last year I finished 6th in Sweden with 4th being enough to qualify for the world championships and I'd like to improve my skills before the contest next week. Therefore I'm trying to finish earlier contests'...

HELP for finals PLEASE! Can someone please quickly tell me how to determine the efficiency of this stupid pulley? I'm so lost :confused: at how to do it and finals are next week. Our set of books for our Principles of Technology class have to stay in the room and my teacher is grading the...

What is the best way to prepare for upperlevel undergraduate physics finals?

Ok, so I have my Calculus Finals this coming Thursday, and I hope I receive some "tutoring" or review. The teacher sent out a review sheet via email, and I mirrored it [PLAIN]www.hodeez.com/max3_finals.doc[/URL] Just need a little/some help on 1,4,6,7,10 and the long problem. Of course I...

I have Advanced Algebra II/Trig finals Friday and I'm cramming(sue me :P). How does half-life work?

How are finals going for everyone. Me, just made an "A" in physics, but have 4 more finals to go, including organic chem. No sleep for me. Nautica
