Also, another question: is what I shown above involving the calculations of \lim_{x \to - \infty} and \lim_{x \to +\infty}?

Thanks for clarifying, gabbagabbahey! I don't know how I've been pondering over this simple mistake, haha... :redface:

Hmm, that's what I saw in my class notes. I assumed that the numerator's x-value remained to be -3, while the denominator was supposed to have a "test" value. Ok, so I'm guessing I'm supposed to be subbing x=\pm10 into both numerator and denominator?

I seem to be having a lot of difficulty finding whether for a horizontal asymptote, whether the curve approaches the asymptote from above or below. For example, for the problem y = \frac{6x + 1}{1 - 2x}, I know that: For the vertical asymptote, x = 1/2, and that \lim_{x \to...

I have asked the teacher about the answers of the periods of the tangent curves, and he has confirmed that the book's answers were incorrect. Oh, and thanks again for the explanation for angular speed... now if only I could remember how to do those types of questions on my own. :rolleyes: I...

Thank you for replying. So was the book wrong for the answers of the tangent periods? Also, I still keep getting 2π as an answer for c)... (through [π/abs(B)])

I encountered a few problems for a few questions while doing my homework. 1. Angular measure problem: A Ferris wheel with a radius of 25.3m makes 2 rotations every minute. a) Find the average angular speed of the Ferris wheel in radians per second. b) How far does a rider travel if the ride...

Sorry, I'm only half awake while trying to do this, so excuse me if I don't get something obvious. If Torque = force times perpendicular distance, clockwise, then why is it 70g(3), when it should be in Newtons, not grams?

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck. Here's what I have now: τcw = τccw mg(4) = F2(1) 686(4) = F2(1) 2744 N = F2 That would seem like an answer, but the force is designated upwards, so it can't be right. Every other diving board problem I've seen has a setup where I either...

Hello, I've been unable to figure this question about tension and torque out. 1. The question is: calculate the torque about the front support on the right of a diving board exerted by a 70 kg person 3.0 m from that support. This is a crude diagram of a person on a diving board, where D =...
