No I meant L - x^2

Yes, I think I stated it wrong in my first post I used the first derivative to find the intervals of increasing and decreasing values and also for minimum and maximum values. I used the second derivative to find the concavity.

1.Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes (if any), intervals of increase and decrease, local maximum and minimum values, intervals of concavity and inflection points for f(x) = 1 / (L - x^1/2) 3. I found the vertical asymptote to be "x=0" , I found the horizontal asymptote to be "y=0" So...

How would I use Bayesian probability?

Question: "With reference to exercise 1, suppose that years later we hear that ray graduated form the give university. what is the probability that he did get the scholarship." Exercise 1: "Ray has enrolled as a freshman at an Eastern university and the probability that he will get a...

I was wondering why it is that the Pr(x=#)=0

Yea, I changed it to .5, I guess I was trying to look too deep into the problem.

Thank you, this helped.

Because it said 50% of people over the age of 3. So 50% don't have it and then 50% of the 50% left don't have it, thus .25. At least I think.

Problem 1: About 50% of all persons age 3 and older wear glasses or contact lenses. For a randomly selected group of five people find the probability that: a. exactly three wear glasses or contact lenses b. at least one wears them c. at most one wears them For this problem I set n=5...

That's my main problem, I'm not sure what angle the side makes with the stream.

I'm really not following your explanation. Would the area just be base x height?

I'm not sure if I understand, are you referring to the field in 3-D.

Homework Statement http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac52/HummusNFalafel/showmepl.jpg A empty cardboard box is placed in an electric field pointing upwards with a strength of 1200 N/C as shown above. The bottom of the box is tilted up by an angle Θ = 13° from the horizontal. Side A of the...

Thanks, it finally worked. I ended up having to use a graphing calc. to get to the significant digits. My scientific calc. was rounding, which is where my problem emerged. Thanks to everyone for the advice.
