    Is <f,g> an Inner Product on C[a,b]?

    Homework Statement show that if we define the following operation: let f=f(x) and g=g(x) be two functions in C[a,b] and define <f,g>=int(a to b) f(x)g(x)dx show that the conditions of therom are satisified with this operation. Use h=h(x) to help with part b this shows that this operation is...

    Who Will Reach the Bottom of the Hill First?

    Ok...but I don't know how the angle affects the transit time from the top to the bottom. That's why I came here. If you could tell me that would be great. Thanks.

    Who Will Reach the Bottom of the Hill First?

    sorry for my poor grammar but I still don't understand. Would the person at the 30 degree hill reach first since the angle is greater and therefore giving a greater velocity?

    Who Will Reach the Bottom of the Hill First?

    If there are 3 people going down a hill at different angles but still starting at the same point, who will reach the bottom of the hill first? The first person is going down a slope of 30 degrees. The second person is going down a slope of 20 degrees. And the last person is going down a slope of...
