Homework Statement I'm given a nonlinear model which I am trying to perform a linear regression on. I need to use change of variables in order to convert the nonlinear model into a linear one. Homework Equations I am given f(x) = \frac{ax}{b+x} where a and b are just parameters. I need to use...

Thanks for the tip !, haven't thought about the oxygens from the glycol being the one on the cyclic periodate, was so obsessed with trying to turn one of the alcohols on the glycol into a leaving group and not the alcohol on the periodic acid.

Homework Statement Write a detailed mechanism for the following reaction: Attached picture Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution Okay, I know this is PART of the mechanism for the oxidation of a glycol by periodic acid which causes cleavage of the C-C bond between the...

Thanks guys, got it now.

Are you hinting towards spherical coordinates...? I'm going to try that out.. Thanks

Homework Statement Find \int\int\int\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}e^{-x^2-y^2-z^2}dxdydz The limits of integration for all 3 variables are from -infinity to infinity. Homework Equations This one has me completely stumped, so I'm just wondering if someone could push me in the right direction in how...

The thing is, I got a different answer and was not sure if the professor had made an error on the answer key since I already spotted a few other errors on it..but let's see now \int\int_0^\pi\int_0^1\rho^2\sin\varphi d\rho d\varphi d\theta outer limits are from 0 to 2pi I was just wondering...

Homework Statement Find the volume of the solid bounded above by \rho=1+cos\varphi and below by \rho=1 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I already solved it but was comparing my answer to my professor's solution, I was wondering why when he did the integration, his...

Well , I ended up with .622 kgm^2, still not sure if that is right but it seems more reasonable..

So what I did was mgh = 1/2mv^2 + 1/2I\omega^2 Relate angular velocity back to linear velocity by using v = r * angular velocity mgh = 1/2mv^2 +1/2I(v/r)^2 mgh - 1/2mv^2 = 1/2I(v/r)^2 2mgh - mv^2 = I(v/r)^2 I = (2mgh - mv^2)(r/v)^2 m is 8.00 kg h is distance the mass traveled = 2.00m...

Homework Statement You are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis through its center. You measure the diameter of the wheel to be 0.740 m and find that it weighs 280 N. You mount the wheel, using frictionless bearings, on a horizontal axis through the...

Thanks, just noticed that myself as well.

Homework Statement An object of mass m is at rest at equilibirum at the origin. At t=0, a new force \vec{F}(t) is applied that has components F_{x}(t) = k1+k2y F_{y}(t)=k3t where k1, k2, and k3 are constants. Calculate the position r(t) and velocity v(t) vectors as functions of time. Homework...
