    KDE on XGL - Watch the 252MB XviD Video

    Doesn't XGL currently run on top of X? Ya compiz and xgl are good stuff. But currently does not support many video outputs, and dual screen. But fun to test out.

    Where can I find chemical equations for Thorium?

    Anyone know where I could find a couple of chemical equations for Thorium. I need them for a project I am currently doing. I have not been able to find any.:rolleyes: Thank you.:smile:

    How can I play DVDs on my computer without violating copyright laws?

    ya, amarok is my fav music player, and the xine engine is a lot better quality than gstream and arts. I don't want qt libs on gnome, so now i use rhythmbox . have you tried vlc?, best in my opinion.

    Finding Critical Numbers for a Trigonometric Function

    hmmm, I've heard of the Newton-raphson algorithm, but we never learned it in class. ill check out that prog.:smile: thank you.

    um, so start with .00000000000001, and work up from there?

    Critical Numbers for f(x)=2sin(2x)/x on [-pi,pi]

    ya, i know, i though no one visited the mathematics section, because i was only able to join it by using the search tool. Also, i put a note for someone to delete my post in the other section.:smile: btw, i posted back on you reply.:-p

    Finding Critical Numbers for a Trigonometric Function

    Thats what I got, but I couldn't figure out how to solve the tan 2x = 2x. How would I be able to solve it? I tried to graph it, but the points that came out, did not work in the equation. So, do I go with x=0 only? edit: my teacher said, I was going to use decimals on this problem. edit...

    Critical Numbers for f(x)=2sin(2x)/x on [-pi,pi]

    Well, I got this equation f(x)=\frac{2\sin{2x}}{x} [-\pi,\pi] So I took the 1st derivative, f'(x)=\frac{2(2x\cos{2x} - \sin{2x})}{x^2} Then I set that equal to 0, and got 0=2x\cos{2x} - \sin{2x} But I do not see how to get the critical numbers, I also tried to do double angle, but that...
