It is! I checked, thank you very much, Haye.

Okay this is what I did: We know that the horizontal speed remains constant, so x = v_{0,x}t v_{0,x} = \frac{x}{t} = \frac{40.377 m}{2.692 s} = 14.99 \frac{m}{s} Then for the vertical component, v^2_{y} = v^2_{0,y} - 2g \Delta y v_{0,y} = \sqrt{2gΔy} = 17.15 \frac{m}{s} So the speed is...

So would I use 45 degrees, disregard the angle altogether, or find the angle?

Homework Statement The question I am struggling with is the second version of a similar problem so to make it easier for me to receive assistance, I'll post both parts: Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an...

I didn't find Spivak difficult, just Apostol was too different in the way he presents the material. But thank you very much, I will definitely look into Stewart.

I can't edit because I'm on my phone but to add on to that, what would be a recommended cookie cutter book?

To clear up your confusion, my intent was to study calc I and II with proof hence those textbooks, because I feel that the AP curriculum (advanced placement) isn't so strong when I look at some exploratory exercises from those textbooks about topics that I am familiar with.

Hello, I am a recent high school graduate and I have recently finished calculus II with one year of calculus I prior (which I took junior year). My major will be physics at the University of Texas and having told that I completed those courses to my advisor he said I seemed bright from the...

Voko, what would the constraint equation be if you applied the method of Lagrange multipliers?

(A) seems right to me. As for (B), what happens when you integrate velocity? For (C) it's asking for the limit of the velocity if t is boundless, so what does that mean? EDIT: Actually, now that I look at your solution for (A), you are forgetting a 't' in the numerator when you apply the...

Oh wow I completely disregarded the fact that it's centered at x = 2! Thank you very much

The coefficients of the power series \sum_{n=0}^{∞}a_{n}(x-2)^{n} satisfy a_{0} = 5 and a_{n} = (\frac{2n+1}{3n-1})a_{n-1} for all n ≥ 1 Sigh, it's been a long day.

My apologies. It should say, it satisfies a_{0} = 5 and a_{n} = \frac{2n+1}{3n-1} for all n ≥ 1 .

By methods, voko meant if you can use integrating factor, Laplace transform, etc, I believe. As for the dr/dt, have you tried separating the variables so you have the 'r' on one side and 't' on the other?
