MHB Calculate Simple Interest: 22K/yr, n=44, r=0.5
What you need, or what you could provide, is a little more information! If it is simple interest then, following the wiki article, the amount of interest earned over a period of time $n$ at rate $r$ with capital of $B = 22000$ is $S = \dfrac{r B m}{n} = \dfrac{0.5 * 22000 * m}{44}$ where $m$...- Joppy

MHB Relationship between inner and outer radius of a two concentric circles
Did you draw a picture? \draw[thick,red] (0,0) circle (4); \draw[->,thick,red] (0,0) -- (4, 0) node[below, xshift=-1cm] {$r_2$}; \draw[thick,blue] (0,0) circle (2); \draw[->, thick, blue] (0,0) -- (2, 0) node[below, xshift=-0.75cm] {$r_1$}; $r_2 - r_1 = 24"$ right? And you know $r_1$.- Joppy

MHB -2.2.27 - Analysis of first order IVP
This is also a Bernoulli equation, if you wanted to take a different route :). But I'm not sure if your book covered linear ODE's before separable.- Joppy

MHB -2.2.27 - Analysis of first order IVP
Could you be clear on what you're struggling with? For instance a) requires first the solution of the DE. Can you identify the kind of DE that it is and suggest a solution approach? (e.g., separable)- Joppy

MATLAB How to Calculate the Average of the Third Column in a Text File Using Matlab?
It's the third column of the matrix defined by the .html file. So mean(data[,3]) ought to do it, assuming data is the contents of the .html.- Joppy

MHB Creating a Public Item & Cart Class
You know you can test your own code right? One of the great things about it. A few notes: 1. You haven't declared constructors for each class. How will you create objects? What will their initial values be? 2. There's no need to have a return statement in a void function unless you're exiting...- Joppy

C/C++ C++ Homework Help: Calculate Product of Numbers
I take it you finished your homework... In any case: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main (){ int userInt = 0; count << "Please enter a number from 3 to 10: "; cin >> userInt; count << userInt<< endl; if (!(userInt >= 3 && userInt <= 10)) { count <<...- Joppy

MHB How Did Archimedes Achieve Quadrature of the Parabola Without Calculus?
I recall an explanation of this in one of Apostle's Analysis books. Don't have it with me and can't remember how detailed it was, but could be useful. It's likely mentioned in any major book on calculus. Also @HallsofIvy, Bing? :) -

MHB Why We Need To End Lockdowns (at least in most places)
I don't think it is a particular bad thing to have discussion on touchy topics. However, the community is quite small here and it wouldn't help to have everyone getting out their pitchforks at every opportunity. 🔪(Evilgrin)- Joppy

MHB Problem using big O notation
It might help to be clear on notation. For instance I assume $||X||^\alpha = (x_1^2 + x_2^2)^{\alpha/2}$. In any case this is interesting, anyone got any ideas?
