    C/C++ C/C++ How do I get main to print out an error from a function?

    I'm having trouble with printing out an error with cerr in the main function when there's an error in another function. Example: int main (){ //body //statements function (//parameters); cerr<<"there's a problem"<<endl; } int function (//parameters){ if a < b return -1; else...

    How to find the new limits of integration

    Homework Statement I'm confused about a certain aspect of shell method, washer method, and disk method. If I want to rotate using the washer method about the x-axis how do I get the new limits of integration? For example: y = 9-x2 over [0,3] about x-axis. I solved for x and got: x =...

    One Dimensional Kinematics: Finding distance between two cars

    I went by what PeterO and Delphi51 said Correct me if I'm wrong with any steps: Btime: 0 = 20.02 m/s + (-3.048 m/s^s)t Btime = 6.56 s delta x = 20.02 m/s (6.56 s) + (-3.048 m/s^s)(6.56s ^2) = 65.75 m for A: delta x = 20.02 m/s (.75 s) + (0)(.75s^2) deltax = 15 m time: 0 = 20.02 m/s +...

    One Dimensional Kinematics: Finding distance between two cars

    Alright I did all the exact numbers and I got 4.03 meters. Thanks for the help everyone! Edit: I'll go change my numbers and then get the right amount. EditEdit: I ignored using: vfx = vix + axt for Car B: 20 + (-3.04)(.75), so it should still be right. I think I was mixed up originally...

    One Dimensional Kinematics: Finding distance between two cars

    If I were to set it up this way I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be finding. I solved vfx = vix + axt for Car B: 20 + (-3.04)(.75) = 17.714 m/s but I'm not sure why I did this if that makes sense. I thought the final velocity would be 0 for car B because it's fully braked in the...

    One Dimensional Kinematics: Finding distance between two cars

    The way I was setting everything up was that t = .75 is the time it takes for Car B to decelerate. Maybe that's where I'm confused and I even drew everything out. But I thought in the .75 seconds it took for Car A to eventually start decelerating, Car B was decelerating and at the end of .75...

    One Dimensional Kinematics: Finding distance between two cars

    Homework Statement Car A is traveling a distance d behind Car B. Initically both cars are traveling at the same speed of 20.02 m/s. Suddenly Car B applies the brakes, causing Car B to decelerate at 3.05 m/s2. It takes the driver of Car A 0.75 seconds to react, and when she applies her brakes...
