    Solving 1/2b^2=sin(b): Find b?

    Thank you! I assumed it had a smaller function because it was in a very low level book. I think it is mean to be entered into a calculator at the last point or be cycled through an approximation algorithm.

    Solving 1/2b^2=sin(b): Find b?

    This is not homework. I ran across this question in a book store a few minutes ago and can't seem to finish it... R= int(x,0,b S=int(cos(x),0,b for what value of b (a positive constant) does R=S? 1/2x^2,0,b=1/2b^2 sin(x),0,b=sin(b) 1/2b^2=sin(b) Its been a while.. but I should be...

    Does there exist a limit for calculating pi?

    Pi is the number of times a diameter goes into its circles circumfrence... you can never have it perfectly accurate. I have a book which shows it to 10,000 digits. As I understant the most accurate super computer gives it to ~10,200. If you looked at a circle with radius 0.5 meters, the diameter...

    Optimization (min/max and concavity)

    Once you find the values of x such that f'(x)=0 you can pick arbitrary points around that value of x to determine if the point is a max/min/neither. You can also plug the value into f''(x); if the number that comes out is <0 you have a maximum, >0 minimum. Does that make sense?
