Homework Equations
dL = L0αdT
ΔL = L0αΔT
These two equations are both listed separately on my equation sheet. How are the dL and ΔL terms different?
The symbol Δx represents a change in the value of x, while dx represents an infinitely small change in x. In other words, Δx is a finite change and dx is an infinitesimal change.
Δx and dx are commonly used in calculus to represent changes in variables. Δx is used to find the average rate of change, while dx is used to find the instantaneous rate of change.
No, Δx and dx have different meanings and cannot be used interchangeably. Δx represents a specific change in value, while dx represents an infinitesimal change.
Δx and dx are used to calculate derivatives and differentials in calculus. Δx is used to find the derivative of a function, while dx is used to represent the differential of a function.
No, Δx and dx are not always used together. They can be used separately depending on the context and the specific mathematical problem being solved.
