f:R->R is odd, if f(-x)=-f(x) for all x Show if f:R->R is odd and the restriction of this function to the interval [0, infinity) is strictly increasing Then f:R->R itself is strictly increasing I’m very confused about what the question is exactly asking for. From my understanding of the...

I have a toy telescope, very poor objective aperture like 30mm, the image is very poor. I was wondering if I could increase it's resolving power by placing a convex lens with a larger aperture in front of the objective lens? The larger lens should converge more light rays onto the...

This is a question for whoever is out there. Is the Earth's mass ever increasing? I understand that under the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the Earth is a closed system, ie it exchanges energy with its environment, but not matter. So, my question is, if sunlight energy is constantly...

Currently the WMAP results give a baryon:photon ratio of ~6.2x10-10, and a dark:baryonic mass ratio of ~5. When added to the energy density of photons + neutrinos (+dark energy at later times), the total density is then critical for a flat Universe. The BB nucleosynthesis analysis of the...

For example, an increase in the entropy of the system will be exactly equal to the entropy decrease of the surroundings. So the net change in the entropy of the system and its surroundings is zero. Putting this in perspective to all the systems and environments in our universe, how is the...

It seems to tell us that it takes more and more energy to increase by the same amount of speed. I don't actually expend 3 times as much gas accelerating my car from 50 to 100 as I did going from 0 to 50:If e=1/2mv2, it tells us how much 'kinetic' energy exists within a moving object -say...

I'm starting a project involving a venturi and water, and for the venturi, I need the water pressure to be around 7-10 psi. This means for my water pump, the head height must be around 15-20 ft. Most pumps that fulfill this requirement are either too expensive or are too powerful for my...

Second law of thermo- dS = δq /T Getting what I think straight: it was extremely hot at the big bang, and all matter existed within the "sphere" or whatever you wish to call the point. There was nothing outside this, so the average temperature was incredibly high. As the universe expanded...

when a sprinter starts running he applies force to overcome fraction and air drag. is his speed keeps going up as F=ma governs to? if he's stamina was enough to fuel him for hours will his speed will keep going up and up even though he applies a constant force until the air drag force becomes so...

Homework Statement Hi, I have trouble proving this claim and would really appreciate your help =). Thank you in advance! So here's the question: Suppose that f is a continuous function for all x>= 0 and differentiable for all x> 0. Also, f(0) = 0 and f' (1st derivative of f) is increasing on...
