Hi! I need help with the method to approach a question, if I wish to calculate how long it will take for a radio message to reach a certain planet (just the general concept), what will be the key pieces of information I require?
I know I need: the distance from Earth to said planet
the...
Homework Statement
Derive the following:
y = (cosxsin2x)-2
2. The attempt at a solution
Basically I saw this as a power rule with two products in the middle.
So y = -2 (cos2cos2x-sinxsin2x)-1
But the correct answer is completely different, it's:
4(3sin2x - 1) all over...
Homework Statement
Differentiate the following:
y = e4x/x2+1
2. The attempt at a solution
I know you have to use quotient rule here.
so I wrote out (x2+1)* d/dx e4x) - d/dx (x2+1)* e4x all over (x2 + 1) 2
I have no idea how to continue on from here...how would you...
Actually, this is an extension on first-time calculus. Our teacher was suggesting if it was possible that by tilting the rectangle, so to speak, the maximized area would be obtained, or if it was in the question's best interest to assume a rectangle with sides parallel to the x-axis.

The manager of a 120-room resort hotel has found that, on average, 50 rooms are booked when the price is $100 per night and 80 rooms are booked when the price is $80 per night. Find the demand function, assuming that it is linear, and what price should he charge to maximize...
Homework Statement
Determine the maximum area of a rectangle formed in the region formed by the two curves
y1=x2 - k
y2=x2 + k
Homework Equations
The equations are given, I tried using k=1. so y1= x2 - 1, etc.
The Attempt at a Solution
Is it true that the rectangle has to be...
