For all the math I've taken, it's quite sad I couldn't figure it out, haha. (I'm curious if the guys in the math honor society could figure this out, :P). As for the number of people v.s. the funds of each organization: This meeting is just with the executive board members of each honor...

Hey everyone, I have a math problem that I need answered to solve an issue in the real world. So, I am the treasurer of the Honors Student Council, an organization that looks after the Honors Program. We also have 10 Honors Societies. We have been buying food for our giant meetings every...

Hey everyone, Just to start off, I love this board! I love the family vibe the site gives off. You are all so very rational, so I couldn't have picked a better group of people to ask, haha. Sorry in advance for the wall of text. I am a Bio major (General/ecology) with a spanish minor...

I see, thank you so much. It's funny how the other way still gets the same answer though, haha. - Jacob

I got it now, thanks for your help. I think I was just clumping them all together when I should've done it piece by piece. I also changed my float number to include more decimals. - Jacob

Yeah, except that is it 81/2. I still do not quite understand why you multiply both integrals by that. - Jacob

Hey Everyone, I know I just posted yesterday, but I have another problem from the first chapter of my Calc 2 summer course that I would like to iron out. Integral of (5/x)dx from 1 to e with n=4, 8 finding both Trapezoid rule and Simpson's rule approximations, and their errors. I know how to...

Thank you for your thorough reply to all my questions! I now have a better understanding, your answer helped a lot! Question 3 was very difficult to understand. For clarification (and to ease tension/questions, haha)... Here is the exact question: "Find the area of the region common to the...

Hey, Why are both integrals multiplied by (81/2) and not just the first integral of where the 9^2 originated from? But yeah, the answer is correct. Big thanks :D - Jacob - - - Updated - - - Hey, In case you tried solving the problem, and couldn't get the answer supplied, I wrote the...

Hey Everyone! I have three questions that I do not know how to approach/solve. I've been checking online, the textbook, etc, and nothing. This is Calculus 2.1. Find the points with the given slope. x=9cos(theta), y=9sin(theta), slope = 1/2. Answer: (-9rt5/5, 18rt5/5), (9rt5/5, -18rt5/5)...
