    Minimizing Area: Proof that k is Independent of f(x) in a Tangent Problem

    the graph of y=f(x) is concaved down over the interval (A,B) ie f''(x)<0 for A=<x=<B the tangent of the curve at point P(k,f(k)) meets lines x=A and x=B at P and Q respectively. the value of k is such that the area bounded by the curve, the tangent and lines x=A and x=B is minimized. Prove...

    How Do You Calculate the Amounts of B and C in Radioactive Decay Over Time?

    hi I'm new here hope you can help me with this problem nuclei A decays to B and then to C(stable) A and B have the same decay constant, n Initially the amount of A is N(0)>0 while B and C are zero then the amount of A at any time is : N(t)=N(0)exp(-nt) can somebody derive the equation for...
