quotient Definition and 356 Threads

It's bewildering. I earned a Masters degree in physics in 1986, long after scoring an 800 on my Math SATs in high school and studying intensive physics at Yale my freshman year. However, my "Social Quotient" seems to have had overtaken my "Physics Quotient" as I matured. I feel safer studying...

Quotient Rule -- is this right or wrong? Well the book I'm learning from suggests you take the following: y = ( (2x + 3) / (x + 4) ) ^ 2 And use the chain rule first. However, the way I find easiest is to re-arrange it so that: y = (2x + 3) ^ 2 / (x + 4) ^ 2 That way I can go...

Hi, I'm currently reading "Calculus Made Easy" and ran into a road block. I'm reading this in my spare time so it's not school work or anything (I know some forums have policies about this is why I mention). The answer is there. I just want to know how to go about doing this problem. It...

If I have an equivalence relation acting on all integers (Z): a ~ b if any only if 3a + b is a multiple of 4, then here is what I think the quotient set is: The equivalence class of 0 = {x belongs to Z | x ~ 0} = {x | 3x = 4n for some integer n}. (The set would look like {0, 4, 8, 12...

Hello guys! I'm new here! Well, it feels like this forum is cool and interesting! Can anyone help me here? =) How do you prove the quotient theorem using the limit definition? (Given a limit of f of x as x approaches a is A and a limit of g of x as x approaces a is B).
