Homework Statement If you slosh the water back and forth in a bathtub at the correct frequency, the water rises first at one end and then at the other. Suppose you can make a standing wave in a 135 cm long tub with a frequency of 0.31 Hz. What is the velocity of the water wave? Homework...

Hah, I got it. That wasn't bad at all. Thanks!

Homework Statement Hi everyone. I am trying to prove the superposition principle for linear homogeneous equations, which states that if u(t) and w(t) are solutions to y' + p(t)y = 0, then u(t) + w(t) and k(u(t)) are also solutions for any constant k. The Attempt at a Solution I...

Homework Statement Use implicit differentiation to show that the one parameter family f(x, y)=c satisfies the differential equation dy/dx = -f_{x}/f_{y} , where f_{x}=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} and f_{y}=\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} .Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Well, my...
