Hello everyone. This is for a descrete math class, and he said you must know the change of base formula, so if you have everything in log base 3, you can figure out what it is in log base 2 as an example. But I'm looking up the examples on the interenet and they all seem to convert whatever...

I have a conjugated acid + excess base (OH-) ---><---... I don't know how to write the part on the right. Help.. Thanks.

This method utilizes discrete binary operations, in particular notice that. (I1) Div(x+y+z,a)=Div(x,a)+Div(y,a)+Div(z,a)+\{0,1,2\} This means that for one of the elements of the included set {0,1,2} the equation is true. This notation is quite useful for carrying out long calculations...

About 20 years ago I caught an article about a graduate student who had found an algoritm which would return the n-th digit of \pi without needing to compute the preceding digits. In other words you could ask for the 812th digit of \pi and it would spit it out without computing the...

I'm trying to show my students that CaCO_3 is basic. Ca^2^+ comes from Ca(OH)_2, which is a weak base due to it's low solubility. CO_3^2^- comes from the weak acid HCO_3^-. To compare the two we compare: 1) Ca^2^+ + H_2O --> Ca(OH)_2 + H_3O^+ and 2) CO_3^2^- + H_2O --> HCO_3^- +...

I'm stumped by this problem: let W be the subspace of C[0,1] spanned by S={sin^2(x),cos^2(x),cos2x} a) explain why S is not a basis for W it's because S not linearly independent b) find a basis for W please help me with this one... TIA.

The question goes like this: "The base of a certain solid is circular with a radius of 1. Cross-sections of the solid, perpendicular to the base, are square. Find the volume of the solid." In visualizing this object, i see that it looks like a "blocky" foot ball, where the perimeter is...

Does anyone know where to find a base to base conversion calculator that can do basic math in other number bases. Finding one that will select between bases 2; 8; 10; 16 isn’t hard. But how about base 3; 4; 6; and 12 Seen any web based tools, or a spread sheet add in that can do this? RB

Please justify this phenomenon: In an active mode for a transistor, ideally it is assumed that collector current is independent of the base collector reverse bias, whereas, the collector is slightly dependent on the base collector voltage. Thanks ~Eternallove
