    Finding the Linear Estimate of a Function: Help Needed

    Hey guys I was just taking a look at a sample exam and I came across this, with no recollection of ever learning it. I don't really want anyone to solve a problem for me per se, I just want an explanation for what is being asked. So anyway, I am asked to find the linear estimate for a...

    Solving Factorial Notation Questions: An Explanation

    Yeah, I understand what you're saying, but I'm still stuck. I guess I'll show you my work. (n-2)!(n+1)!/(n!)² = (n-2)(n-1)n!(n+1)!/n(n-1)(n-2)!(n!) = (n+1)!/n! What I have trouble with is I guess why the answer is (n+1)/n(n-1). Can I not just cancel out the factorial symbol...

    Solving Factorial Notation Questions: An Explanation

    Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with a specific type of question that I can't seem to understand without an answer key. Anyway, it's rewriting expressions with factorial notation so that they no longer have factorial symbols. Example: Simplify without using the factorial...

    Applying trigonometric functions to some real life situations

    Yeah, thanks a bunch x, I've figured out that question. However, I have a few other questions. This regards a ferris wheel problem I'm working with. Ferris wheel: Diameter: 76m Maximum Height: 80m Ferris wheel has 36 carts, which each cart able to hold approximately 60 people. It rotates...

    Applying trigonometric functions to some real life situations

    That actually helps me a lot, but rather than drawing a cosine graph, I drew a sine graph. Thanks a bunch x. I've come up with an equation, but I'm not sure how right I am, if someone could verify, that would be great. y=1.25sin(π)x+1.75 The thing in the brackets is pi, sorry, but I...

    Applying trigonometric functions to some real life situations

    I'm having some trouble with applying trigonometric functions to some real life situations, particularly this one problem in my homework. Andrea, a local gymnast, is doing timed bounces on a trampoline. The trampoline mat is 1 meter above ground level. When she bounces up, her feet reach a...
