    Solving Arc Length Problem: 45 Degrees & x-Axis

    ..Or I think this is considered that... Here's the problem as written then I'll get to it: Find the length of the curve y^2=x^3 from the orign to the point where the tangent makes an angle of 45 degrees with the x-axis. Okay, by me posting this, I don't want anyone (nor am I looking for...

    Solving for C: Calculating Area Between Two Functions in Calculus

    Okay, you have 2 equations (and no points on the graph given) -- You have f(x) = 2x-3x^3 and f(x) = c. You are to find the area under the curve between those 2 functions and are to make it equal with the area between the y-axis and the 2 curves. So, I started this problem initially by...

    :Implicit Differentiation Problem - Check my work?:

    Well, the problem with that one is the idea that I can't even get the first step... the derivative of sqrt (xy)

    :Implicit Differentiation Problem - Check my work?:

    :Implicit Differentiation Problem -- Check my work?: Think I placed this in the wrong forum... I've worked it -- can someone just check my work? Problem: xcosy+ycos=1 My work: [x (d/x)cosy + cosy (d/dx)x] + [y (d/dx)cosx + cosx (d/dx)y] = (d/dx) 1 -xsiny (dy/dx) + cos y -...

    Implicit Differentiation Problem - Check my work?

    Implicit Differentiation Problem -- Check my work? I've worked it -- can someone just check my work? Problem: xcosy+ycos=1 My work: [x (d/x)cosy + cosy (d/dx)x] + [y (d/dx)cosx + cosx (d/dx)y] = (d/dx) 1 -xsiny (dy/dx) + cos y - ysinx + cos x (dy/dx) = 0 -xsiny (dy/dx) + cos y...

    Find Center of Gravity of Person Using Torque

    DISCLAIMER: For the sake of academic integrity, I would like to place a warning on this question and say that it is NOT a test question, nor is it a homework question that will receive grading. This is simply a random question out of the textbook to practice torque. Problem: A gravity...
