This debate has been interesting. I have had the opportunity to view the atheistic side of life (until mid-twenties) as well as the theistic side, now. While there is no "proof" there is a God there is Faith. Defined, firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust ...

Homework Statement Integral a^2 f(x) dx .....limits are 0 to a I know the answer is... 1/2 Integral (a-x)^2 f(x) dx Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I do not know how to approach this problem. I have tried to use the fundamental...

Homework Statement I (2n,m) = Integral cos^(2n)O sin^(m)O cosO dO limits are 0 to 2pi and O = theta 0.4/3 = 0.1333 show that I 2n,m = 2n/ m+1 (I2n-2, m+2) Homework Equations I really have no idea how to work with this problem. It is under Gamma function of the instructors...

Thanks for your help!

I can clearly see that the graphs area is 1, however integrating [x]-2[x/2] conventionally will always give 0. I guess I should ask is there a special integration for a step function? Thanks

Thanks, I did construct the graph. I guess I should have worded the question better. Can a step function have area?

Homework Statement Integral [x] - 2[x/2] dx limits are 0 to 2 I am using [] to represent the floor function. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Of course normal integration gives x^2/2 - x^2/2 which gives 0 for all cases, So is it right to assume a floor function...

Ok thanks that was the part I was not sure about so the derivative of 6 goes to 0. Thanks!

Homework Statement Find function f(x) and constant a such that, 6+ integral f(t)/t^2 dt = 2x limits are a to x Homework Equations I think I am on the right track could someone check this? The Attempt at a Solution if x = a then the integral will = 0, 6 = 2a, a = 3 limits now...

the limits are, a to x

Homework Statement Find function f(x) and constant a such that, 6 + integral f(t)/t^2 dt = 2x limits of integral are a...x Homework Equations I am not quite sure how to approach this problem? What area of a calculus text would this type of problem be in? Thanks in advance...

I would not stress out about it! I was a ME major who dropped out my junior year with a 3.4 In order to pursue a career in aviation. People told me I was foolish and you could not get a good flying job without a degree. Fast forward 15 years later and I am now a captain flying a 737, although I...

I really like Burnham's Celestial Handbooks(3 books) They are really interesting giving some history and info about each constellation. Constellation>History>Main Stars>Deep sky objects. The info. is slightly outdated but will give you a good survey of all things relating to visual astronomy. I...

Could someone recommend a good book to review Calculus leading up to Advanced Calculus. I have Advanced Calculus next semester and want to get a jump on it. It has been a couple of years since I had Calc II. and I am reviewing the Stewart Book. I am looking for something a little more concise...

Charlie-Fox, I am also a professional pilot and also in the process of switching careers. I am burned out and tired of furloughs, low pay, long periods from home and "checkride for your job pressure." I am pursuing a Mathematics degree from UIS and plan on teaching high school math while...
