    MHB Two problems: linear distance and directed graph

    1.) Two volumes of an encyclopedia stand side by side, in order, on a shelf. A bookworm starts at page i of Volume I and bores its way in a straight line to the last page of Volume II. Each cover is 1 mm thick, and the first volume is 2/5 as thick as the second volume. The first volume is 40 mm...

    Graph of trigonometric functions

    This is not a homework question but a general doubt. Suppose we have a function y = pcosx, where 'p' is an arbitrary constant. So my question is how will the graph of this function change with different values of 'p'? This doubt can also be extended for other functions like y = pex, y = p...
