    Separation of variables to solve DE

    The integrating factor is e^{\int{\frac{2}{x}dx} = x^2 We than use this and multiply both sides by x^2 which gives x^2y'+2xy = 3 or yx^2= 3x+C divide both sides by x^2 y = \frac{3}{x}+\frac{C}{x^2}

    Triangle inequality metric space

    But isn't the justification that if K >0 and K\phi(x, y) is a metric that's non negative That it can't be > \frac{K\phi(x, z)}{1+K\phi(x, z)} + \frac{K\phi(z, y)}{1+K\phi(z, y)}? You've got that the denominator = at least 1. So if x = z the function is 0.

    Triangle inequality metric space

    Sorry I'm getting lost here. Do I need to somehow get \phi(x, y) out of the denominator?

    Is U the Quotient Topology for Continuous Functions between Topological Spaces?

    Thanks for your help guys. In my textbook is says that the quotient topology is the finest. However in my tutorials when ever they talked about quotient topologies they always mentioned something about an equivalence relation. I think this question was meant to make me think about it which I...

    Triangle inequality metric space

    I hope this clears it up. Sorry I'm not to good at latex. Let(X,\phi)be a metric space. Take K > 0 and define. \theta : X \cross X \rightarrow \real_{0}^{+},(x,y)\rightarrow\frac{K\phi(x,y)}{1+K\phi(x,y)} show that (X,\theta)is a metric so the triangle inequality \theta(x,y)...

    Triangle inequality metric space

    Yeah your right it is a typo the metric space should be (X,\phi) so triangle inequality is \phi(x,y) \leq \frac{K\phi(x,)}{1+K\phi(x,y)} \leq \mid \frac{K\phi(x,z)}{1+K\phi(x,z)}\mid + \mid \frac{K\phi(z,y)}{1+K\phi(z,y)}\mid = \mid \frac{K\phi(x,z)}{1+K\phi(x,z)} +...

    How Long Does It Take to Charge a 195 µF Capacitor to 125 Volts?

    Thanks mate your a ledgend FIrst I calculated Q= CV to be 195 µF * 125v = 24.3 mC Q = IT solve for t = Q/I t = 6.55 seconds

    How Long Does It Take to Charge a 195 µF Capacitor to 125 Volts?

    Homework Statement In a camera flash unit, a capacitor is charged up over a period of several seconds (from a battery). The capacitor is discharged very rapidly -- in about 1 millisecond -- into a gas tube producing a very brief, bright flash of light. How long will it take to charge a 195...

    Continuous functions in metric spaces

    Hi guy's I know this is more of a homework question, I posted a similar thread earlier on but I think I ended up confusing myself. I need to show that a function is continuous between metric spaces. I'll post the question and what I've done any tips on moving forward would be great. I...

    Proving Metric Space: (X,\bar\rho) is Positive Definite

    Does this look alright ? I've tried to use Open balls of radius \delta and \psi So I have three metric spaces (X,\rho) (X,\bar\rho) and (Y, \theta) and a function f : X \rightarrow Y which is continuous wrt (X,\rho) So given f : X \rightarrow Y continous wrt \rho...
