    Understanding Derivatives of Absolute Values

    thanks a lot vietdao so when h-->0 it tends to go near 1 and both ways approaching from neg or pos will approach near 1 so it equals 1. yah giving me a lot of mathematical analysis limit definitions. thanks i understand it thanks!

    Understanding Derivatives of Absolute Values

    well opz i mean |sin(x)| is not differentiable at pi 2pi and 2npi. ok i understand now that |x| is continuous everywhere but can not be diff at 0 because we can not estimate a slope at x=0. (|1+h|-1)/h thus always = to 1 for all h but however you can not plug 0 in or you will get an...

    Understanding Derivatives of Absolute Values

    can somebody show me how to solve this? lim h-->0 (|1+h|-1)/h = 1?

    Understanding Derivatives of Absolute Values

    this is embearassing... i understand that |h|/h = h/h or -h/h at x=0 so that would be undefined. but can we say at a certain point |x| is discontinous at x=0 when we take the derivative at x=0 because we can not evaluate the slope at x=0? is that correct to say? and that the derivative of...

    Understanding Derivatives of Absolute Values

    Can somebody help me review derivatives of abs values? for example derivative of |sinx| and sin|x| and |x| and what is the formal definition of discontinuity is it that since |x| is discontinous at 0 is because you can not find the slope of |x| at 0?

    Solve e^x cos(x) Intigration Problem

    the thing to this question is e^x cos(x) you integrate it a few times and when you integrate it you will go back to this function e^x cos(x) then (integral e^x cos(x) = blah blah blah blah blah +-(either plus or minus: say minus) integral e^x cos(x) dx) so now you add the integral(...

    Optimal Strategies for Rowboy: Game Theory Question | Find Value & Fairness

    I tried that but then i can't show that L(x,y)=w=5/2 which makes the game unfair. If i use Rowboy's strategie as [1/2,1/2,0,0] i get the game is at w=3/2 which doesn't equal to 5/2. I know that is a feasiable strategy but its not optimal.

    Optimal Strategies for Rowboy: Game Theory Question | Find Value & Fairness

    In the game with payoff Matrix [4,2,0,-1,5,-2] [-2,-3,2,5,0,4] [5,-3,4,0,4,7] [1,3,3,2,-6,5] Columngirl's strategy of [1/2,0,0,1/2,0,0] is optimal. Describe all the optimal strategies for Rowboy. Find the value of the game and show that this game is not fair. Thing is i can't...

    Can Solving H²_DR(ℝ³ - X) Take a Lifetime?

    hmm well i copied that question straight from the movie... that movie with Russel Crowe as John Nash. Where he teaches multivariable calculus and he put that question down on the board.

    Can Solving H²_DR(ℝ³ - X) Take a Lifetime?

    I was bored so I am deciding that since I am only at the level of undergraduate real analysis, i wonder if anybody could solve this problem. In the movie it said that it would take someone months or many yrs or even a life time. Wonder if this is true or not? V = \{ F : \Re^3 \setminus X...
