1. Homework Statement $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{y}{x}},~x>0$$ Why do i need the x>0, indeed my result is good for all x since it contains x2 2. Homework Equations $$\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x)~\rightarrow~dy=f(x)dx~\rightarrow~y=\int f(x)dx$$ 3. The Attempt at a Solution $$\int...

$$\left \int \frac{dy}{y^{1/3}} \right.$$ Doesn't work. There also was an examples page in your site, i don't find it

Homework Statement Hi, I am not asking for solution for any problem as i already have the given solution for the problem. Instead, what i want clarify is what do they mean by the odd and even function and how do they get 0? Also, is there a need to change the order from dxdy to dydx?

Hello! Can someone suggest me a good reading about path integral formulation of quantum mechanics? I took 2 undergrad courses on QM, so I would like something focusing on path integral (maybe some problems too). I don't necessary want a book, even some online pdf that contains some good...

Homework Statement The problem is in the attached file. The part I need a little help with is part b. Homework Equations and attempt at a solution[/B] For part a, I got h(8) = 2, h'(6) = -2, and h''(4) = -2. For part c, I found that the integral from 0 to 5 is 7, so I multiplied 7 by 7 to...

Hi, I've got this: $$\sin{(A*B)}\approx \frac{Si(B^2)-Si(A^2)}{2(\ln{B}-ln{A})}$$, whenever the RHS is defined and B is close to A ( I don't know how close). Here ##Si(x)## is the integral of ##\frac{\sin{x}}{x}## But, to check it, I need to evaluate the ##Si(x)## function. I'm new with Taylor...

Hello, I have tried the integral below with Mathematica and it gives me the following solution: ##\frac{d}{dc}\int_{z^{-1}(c)}^{1} z(x)dx = -\frac{c}{z'(z^{-1}(c))}## I am not quite sure where it gets it from...I think it can be separated and with differentiation the first part will be zero...

Homework Statement I can find the e-field at point P. Homework Equations I get, easily enough, the correct integral solution (for the y-component, Ey - which is all I need to do): which I can see, informally, evaluates to: which is the correct answer. The Attempt at a Solution My...

I would like to prove that the following integral is logarithmically divergent. $$\int d^{4}k \frac{k^{4}}{(k^{2}-a)((k-b)^{2}-x)((k-y)^{2}-a)((k-z)^{2}-a)}$$ This is 'obvious' because the power of ##k## in the numerator is ##4##, but the highest power of ##k## in the denominator is ##8##...

Hello. I've an integral: \int_{-\infty}^{0}x\exp(-x^2)H_n(x-a)H_n(x+a)dx Of course for any given n it can be calculated, but I'm interested if there is some general formula for arbitrary n. Could someone with access type that into Mathematica? In case that there exists general formula, idea how...

Is there a closed form for the constant given by: $$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{Ei(-(n-1)\log(2))}{n}$$ (Where Ei is the exponential integral)? Could we generalize it for: $$I(k)=\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{Ei(-(n-1)\log(k))}{n}$$ ? My try: As it is given that k will be a positive integer, I have...

After series of algebraic simplifications, I ended up with the following integral: ##\int_0^\infty \exp(-Kx) \arctan(x) dx ## As far as I searched, there is no closed form solution for the integral. But, K is my design variable that I need to optimize later. To do this, I need to take K out of...

Hi All, $$\int{\exp((x_2-x_1)^2+k_1x_1+k_2x_2)dx_1dx_2}$$ I can perform the integration of the integral above easily by changing the variable $$u=x_2+x_1\\ v=x_2-x_1$$ Of course first computing the Jacobian, and integrating over ##u## and ##v## I am wondering how you perform the change of...

I am trying to evaluate the integral ##\displaystyle \int \frac{x}{1+\cos^2x}dx##. I have started by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by ##\frac{\sin^2x}{\cos^4x}##, to get ##\displaystyle \int \frac{x\frac{\sin^2x}{\cos^4x}}{1+\tan^2x}dx##, and the denominator simplifies to...

When taking the superposition of wavefunctions with definite values of any observable (I'll just use momentum, but I am assuming it would work for any variable), I have seen the integral be used: ##\psi = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\phi(k)e^{ikx}dk## and the sum be used: ##\psi =...
