    Finding the random uncertainty of a set of values

    Ok, for the switch-on voltage of a red LED I have the readings as follows, all in volts: 1.45, 1.46, 1.46, 1.44, 1.45. The mean of these readings, in volts, is 1.45 (I rounded up to 2 decimal places as my scale reading uncertainty was +/-0.01V, and my teacher told me to round them up since to...

    How to set up two linear actuators to share loading?

    I have a structure that needs to be pushed by a set of actuators. It is because 1 actuator's loading may not be sufficient and changing it to a more powerful model will just sacrifice my space which is not favorable. Can anyone tell me if it is a common way of doing it? If so, how do I manage...

    I Why Is u=y/x Treated as a Function of x Alone in ODE Differentiation?

    I am studying ode now, and my text has that If y'=f(y/x) Then, setting y/x=u ; y=ux is a way to solve it. I understand the idea, turn orignal form to separable form. But I can't get the differentiation, Book says y'=u'x+u by product rule which I already know. Here my question is why u=y/x that...

    Does negating a set change it symbolically?

    So I have to prove "If (AxB)∩(BxA) ≠ ∅, then (A∩B) ≠ ∅." I wanted to prove by changing it's form. P = (AxB)∩(BxA) ≠ ∅ and Q = (A∩B) ≠ ∅ . The conditional statement is P implies Q and the new statement is not P or Q . P → Q = ¬ P∨Q They are equivalent. But how do I negate P? Would it be...
