    Three charges are at the corners of an isosceles triangle

    1. Three charges are at the corners of an isosceles triangle as shown in the figure. The +q1 = 5.05 uC and -q1 = 5.05 uC charges form a dipole. A) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force that the q2 = 8.50 uc charge exerts on the diple. B) For an axis perpendicular to the line...

    How Do You Determine the Interval of Convergence for a Series?

    1. Find the radius and the interval of convergence for the series: Ʃ n=2 --> inf : [(-1)nxn]/ [4nln(n)] 2.To find the radius, we use the alternating series test. **an+1/an 3. From the alternating series test I find that the limit as n --> inf = 4. So our radius is 4...

    Show that the series is convergent

    would it be 999,998 terms ?

    Show that the series is convergent

    1. Show that the series is convergent and then find how many terms we need to add in order to find the sum with an error less than .001 Ʃ (-1)(n-1)/ √(n+3) from n = 1---> infinity 2. I took the derivative. 3. f(x) = (x+3)-1/2 f'(x) = -1/2 (x+3)-3/2 Then I set up the...

    Telescoping series with 1/n^a - 1/(n+1)^a

    Series -- convergent or divergent? 1. Determine whether the following series is convergent or divergent. When a series is convergent, find the sum. If it diverges, find if it is infinity, - inf, or DNE. Ʃ [(1/na) - 1/ (n+1)a] 2. we are finding if a >0 3. I know that it...

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    I had found 1/2 earlier and it was counted wrong.

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    No i had watched a video where a guy did that so I wasn't sure if it would work in this case. I worked it out doing what you told me to do and came up with the answer 1/4. Can you tell me if that is correct? ∫0->π/4 = ∫1/2 (4sin2 2θ) dθ -∫1/2(2 sin 2θ) dθ 2∫(1/2)(1-cos4θ)dθ -...

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    I got the answer 1/4. Does anyone know if that is correct before I use my last attempt?

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    can I solve for half of the area using only one of the functions and then doubling it?

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    Yeah I did that. And the inner one is 2 sin θ and the outer one is 2 sin 2θ They cross at 0 and π/4 Correct?

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    Im still having trouble with this problem. Can anyone help? Please I am so lost. Just need some help on setting it up and getting it started

    Solving Cartesian Equation: r= 9 cosθ

    yes. I always get things wrong just because its not in the form the software wanted. Miss when we could turn homework in on paper haha

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    ∫sin2(θ) - ∫ sin2(2θ) since sin2 = 1/2(1-cos 2θ) we plug it in and bring the 1/2 to the front of each integral giving us.. 1/2∫(1-cos 2θ) - 1/2∫(1-cos 4θ) am I heading in the right direction? how do I find the bounds?

    Solving Cartesian Equation: r= 9 cosθ

    the answer was more simple than I thought. x2+y2=9x Thanks!

    Area between r = 2sin(θ) and r = 2sin(2θ) for 0≤θ≤π/2

    Well I don't exactly know how to even start this problem but let's see. ∫2sin(2θ) - ∫2 sin(θ) do the bounds change for the first one to π/4? Any hints on how to even start this problem. I am not looking for an answer. I do not understand my books explanation so I am really lost :confused:
