Homework Statement Does sum from n=1 to n=infinity of 1/[n^(1+1/n)] converge or diverge. Homework Equations ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Attempt at a Solution The general term goes to 0 and its a p-series with p>1, but for large n the series becomes 1/n pretty much so, even tho p>1 is it divergent?

:(

Homework Statement Given the eqn x=2, y=sin(t), z=cos(t), draw this function in 3-space. Homework Equations ABOVE^ The Attempt at a Solution I did this: x^2+y^2+z^2=2^2+(sin(t))^2+(cos(t))^2=5 Therefore we get x^2+y^2+z^2=5 Which is the eqn of a sphere with radius root5. My friend said it's...

Can I say that probability for any given end point x, the probability of ending up there is : probability = {factorial(n)/(factorial((n+(x+3))/2)*factorial((n-(x-1))/2))}*{p^(1/2(n+(x+3)) * q^(1/2(n+(x-1)))} Where p = probability of moving x+3 and q = 1-p

Homework Statement Can I measure the probability of a person being at a certain end location after n steps using the binomial distribution if, probability student goes x=x+3 is 0 <= p <0.5 , x=x-1 is 0<= 0.5 p <1.Homework Equations x=x+3 is 0 <= p <0.5 x=x-1 is 0<= 0.5 p <1 The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement Hi, I need to create a histogram in Latex. I know how to do this, however, I only know how to do it if I have a limited number of points so I want it so that I can get a computer program to generate a list of numbers and save them to a file and then I can import this to Latex...

Homework Statement I am supposed to solve this equation for y.Homework Equations 0=-(x+0.91)/(y^2+(x+0.91)^2 )+ (x-0.91)/(y^2+(x-0.91)^2) The Attempt at a Solution I moved one of the terms to the other side and saw no way to get the solution doing that so then I got a CD by doing this: [...

Please respond via dm if you can.

I chose (0,0) as the middle of the goal line. Is my equation wrong for this?

Can I just say that the angle for x=-1 is the same for x=1 because they're the same position just on the opposite side? Would that be true? I guess I could incorporate a shift so that my x=0 was on the far left of the rink but I have already done a lot of calculations and would rather not start...

The formula for the function is arctan((1.82+x)/y) - arctan(x/y)

Hi, If I put in a negative x co-ordinate the it doesn't give me the right output. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I got it to work thanks!

I got it to work thanks!

Hi, If I use this I get error unexpected / If take the / out it gives the error, error missing operator or ';'
