    Uniformly Varying Load/Uniform Load to Concentrated Point Load

    Thanks Fred... can you tell me how does one arrive at the value concentrated load of 67.5? I know with a uniform load we have to multiply the uniform load and the length it affects. eg: 2k/ft x 6ft

    Mastering Basic Math Induction: Tips, Examples, and Resources for Self-Learning

    thanks I understand that. It seems like we are working backwards. Usually I get an equation in this form (3 - 1) k and I end up with 3k-k = 2k I've never had to take 2k and end up with (3-1)k confuses me here. sorry for all the trouble but why are we making 2k into (3-1)K ? Aren't...

    Mastering Basic Math Induction: Tips, Examples, and Resources for Self-Learning

    this is the step that confuses me. Why do we add and subtrack k in the numerator? ok you say so that we get 3k. Why and how do we know we need to get 3k? thnx for the thorough explanation

    Mastering Basic Math Induction: Tips, Examples, and Resources for Self-Learning

    here's where I'm confused. how did k ^ 3 + 3k ^ 2 + 2k end up to k ^ 3 + 3 k ^ 2 + 3k - k aren't we supposed to find the greatest common factor here? what step did you use in here?
