Consider a circle rotating about a point X on its circumference at ##\omega = 2## rad/s. That means all points on and in the circle rotate at the same ##\omega = 2## rad/s. What are the angular velocities of various different points, say points A, B and C, with respect to the centre O of the...

Given that f'(x)=[(8cos(x)/(x2)-(⅛)], find the number of relative maxima and minima on the interval (1,10). Finding maxima and minima analytically wasn't fruitful for me, so instead I used a bit of handwaving. First I argued, using the intermediate value theorem, since f'(1)>f'(10), there...

Homework Statement Homework Equations / 3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B] Here is my attempt at the homework, I'm trying to correct my mistakes and am looking for help in the right direction.

Hey! :o We have the function $f(x_1, x_2)=2-x_1-x_2$ and we want to check if it has maxima or minima under the constraint $x_1^2+x_2^2=8$. Since we cannot solve for one variable at the equationof the constraint, we have to use the Langrange function, right? (Wondering) I have done the...

Hello I have two points: B(1,3) and C(2,6). I need to find a point A on the y-axis, from which BC is "seen" at an angle of 90 degrees. I tried using Pythagoras theorem and got: \[y^{2}-6y+10=y^{2}-12y+40+10\] but it doesn't give the correct answer, which is (0,5) or (0,4). What am I doing...

When it comes to analytic geometry, I am little confused about the use of vectors. For example, throughout high school, one works in ##\mathbb{R}^2##, and geometric objects such as lines are described using equations relating two variables, the x and y coordinate, such as y = 2x + 1. However...

So we just recently did accumulation points in my maths class for chemists. I understood everything that was taught but ever since I was trying to find a reasonable explanation if the sequence an = (-1)n has 2 accumulation points (-1,1) or if it doesn't have any at all. I mean it's clear that...
