Hi, I am trying to identify the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment: Two groups of patients (Epileptic and Normal) are exposed to varying wavelengths of light and their neural response is quantified and recorded. I am using...

I'm trying to create a table with three separate columns using fprintf(). The first column consists of a height vector h = 0:500:10000 and the second and third columns are part of the matrix Distance. I've tried looking online and I can't seem to find a way to make the vector and the matrix...

wow, yes, thank you :redface: this is what happens when you do too many of these problems in one night

Homework Statement Locate and classify the critical points of f(x,y) = (x-y)(xy-1). Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I found the partial derivatives with respect to x and y and I got: ∂f/∂x = -y2+2xy-1 ∂f/∂y = x2-2xy+1 After setting them both equal to zero I can't...

I still can't see how this is the definition of a limit.

So far, all I understand is that the definition proves that there's a value of f(x,y) as f(x,y) approaches (x0,y0) which is sufficiently close to but not exactly the value at f(x0,y0). I am probably completely off... but I just don't understand the purpose of proving this. I also don't...

Cool :) and I was so certain about that circle lol. Thanks a lot. I get a circular prabolloid with a and b = 2.

The question asked for a surface which is equidistant from all points p(x,y,z) to the point (0,0,1) and the plane through z=-1

The question asks to look for a surface and a circle is the only function which meets the conditions. Is this still considered a surface?

Got it thanks! :) Great explanation!

So I've been searching on the internet and in my textbook and I can't find a simple enough explanation of the Laplace transform of a product of functions. Is it absolutely necessary to evaluate the integral using different methods or is there an easier way?

No, they are one hour each day (monday to thursday) and the lab is 3 hours twice a week

I am debating whether or not I can pull off taking Organic Chemistry II, Multivariable and Engineering Statistics during the 6 week summer term. I need to do this if I want to stay on track with all my other engineering courses. Any advice?

My bad! makes sense now :) thank you

This one's a little different from my book but it uses the same ideas, I think you meant to write 1/x when substituting for the dx/dt. Thanks, for some reason I have trouble understanding differentiation notation, that was my only problem. Now it's clear.
