    Mathematica How do i plot a function of two variables in mathematica?

    Look up Plot3D in the help, it gives examples on how to use the function. Sometimes you need to import graphics packages before you can use certain functions in there. I don't think Plot3D needs and packages but implicit functions might. I has been a while since I have used Mma.

    Legrange->System of equations

    I tried to simply minimize the equation like you did kompik since I cannot get mathematica to spit out the results (I don't know why, but it doesn't matter). I couldn't get mathematica to solve the equation so I simply put it into my calculator and used the zero function to get my answer. I...

    Legrange->System of equations

    Thanks for the response I typed it in as you instructed (as close as possible to yours) I received the response that is shown in my attachment. Why does it not give me numeric results? I could have received 20 different representations for that if I wanted to simply by rearranging...

    How Does Leibniz' Integral Rule Optimize Constants in an Integral?

    [SOLVED] Leibniz' Integral rule Homework Statement Use the Leibniz' integral rule for differentiating under the integral sign to determine constants a and b such that the integral \int^{1}_{0}(ax+b-x^{2})^{2} dx is as small as possible. Homework Equations Leibniz' Interation was...

    Limiting Value of Theta as n --> ∞

    I think that means that as n\to\infty, then \frac{\vec a \cdot \vec b }{|\vec a| |\vec b|}\to\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} That means that \arccos\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \to \frac{\pi}{6}, which is the angle between the two vectors Thanks for the help

    Limiting Value of Theta as n --> ∞

    I was just trying to remember from previous classes that I took. Simply a guess.

    Limiting Value of Theta as n --> ∞

    I agree with the \vec a \cdot \vec b = \frac{n*(n+1)}{2} I don't agree with the part where you say that |\vec a| |\vec b| = n^{2} My reasoning is |\vec a| = \sqrt{1 + 1 +...+ 1} and as n\to\infty, the limit goes to \sqrt{n} -- Also shouldn't the sum of the series: \sqrt{1 + 4 + 9 +...

    Limiting Value of Theta as n --> ∞

    [SOLVED] Vector Problem Given Suppose a and b are vectors in Vn and theta is the angle between them. If a=<1,1,...,1> and b=<1,2,...,n>, find the limiting value of theta as n-->infinity Relevent equations: a*b = |a|*|b| * cos(theta) or theta = arccos ((a*b)/(|a|*|b|) I know...
