    Inclined plane (ranking normal force)

    I'm having problems with my initial approach on this problem: The figure below shows four choices for the direction of a force of magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choices a and b, the force is not enough to lift...

    Ah man, I can't believe I overlooked that. I've been doing that a lot lately with studying for exams and all. I got it now. Thanks

    How to Find Critical Points of f(x) = xln(x)

    I need help finding the critical points of this equation: f(x) = xln(x) I found f'(x) to be ln(x)+x, but I don't know how to solve for x when setting f'(x) to 0 to find the critical points. I know I can find the zeros of f'(x) graphically on a calculator, but I need to know how to do it...

    Should I Transfer from DeVry to Ohio State for a More Respected Degree?

    I went to DeVry Columbus for 3 terms and was in the exact position as you. I took Math 190, Math 260 and Math 270 and NONE of them transferred. Those were "advanced calc" classes at DeVry and I am in Math 151 at OSU. I'm in my first quarter at OSU, and I can already tell the way classes are...
