    I think I forgot to factor in my process solving. I think I've figured it out. Thank you for your help :)

    Applications of Differentiation

    Okay, I tried squaring both sides and I got 16/(4-t) = 0. Is that t suppose to still be in the problem? I'm guessing that I have to eventually solve for t since the answer is t = 8/3. I'm assuming maybe I've done this problem incorrectly...

    I'm sorry, what does RHS and LHS stand for?

    Find Critical Numbers of sin^2 x + cos x Function

    So I follow that thinking, but that would be the same as d/dx[sin u] right?

    Find Critical Numbers of sin^2 x + cos x Function

    Homework Statement Find any critical numbers of the function Homework Equations sin^2 x + cos x The Attempt at a Solution I actually have a sort of silly question. Woud sin^2 in the equation be solved using the differeniation rule of d/dx[sin x] = cos x or d/dx [sin u] = (cos...

    Applications of Differentiation

    Homework Statement Find any critical numbers of the function Homework Equations g(t) = sqrt (4-t) , t < 3 The Attempt at a Solution I'm not really sure how to find a critical number when square roots are involved. I do know typically when finding the critical number you find the...

    Simplify Your Limit Problem with Basic Algebra Techniques"

    t3 + 3t2 - 12t + 4 / t3 - 4t , as the limit of t approaches 2 I figured out that that I can get my denominator all the day down to t (t + 2)(t - 2), so I figured that there must be a way to pull that factor out of the numerator.

    Simplify Your Limit Problem with Basic Algebra Techniques"

    Okay, basic question. I'm working a limit problem and trying to factor part of my fraction: t3 + 3t2 - 12t + 4 Isn't there a way to combine like terms or something? I feel embarrassed asking this lol.

    Finding the Interval for Function Values within a Small Range

    I'm having trouble understanding the problem: Find the largest open interval, centered at x=3, such that for each x in the interval the value of the function f(x) = 4x - 5 is within 0.01 unit of the number f(3)=7 The solutions manuel goes on to say that the abs[f(x)-f(3)] = abs [(4x - 5) -...

    The Equivalence of Mass and Energy

    I'm sorry. Why are you using gamma in that equatin?

    The Equivalence of Mass and Energy

    I was working on the following problem: An electron and a positron each have a mass of 9.11 x 10-31 kg. They collide and both vanish, with only electromagnetic radiation appearing after the collision. If each particle is moving at a speed of 0.30c relative to the laboratory before the...
