I think one of the main problems with this statement is that it does not make sense to divide something among zero people while looking for the amount each person received. If you have a cake and nobody wants it, then yes the cake is still there, but this is not the same as dividing the cake...
another hint see what from: (pi(r+e)^2+pi*r^2)/h
you can factor out front and you will learn one of the fundamental problem solving techniques of derivatives.
thanks for the help. This trig integration stuff is killer
OK the reason I asked was because I have a lab assignment where I have to calculate the powers of \int cos^n[x]dx where n is odd numbers from 3-13.
So can someone please look over my work for \int cos^5[x]dx and make sure it looks...
Hmm . .. I don't think that is quite legal since e^n is a constant, the product rule only applies if you have two functions.
you could alternately take the log of both sides which may look something like:
lny(x)=lne^nx
differentiate with respect to x
y'/y=n
y'=ny
and since y= e^nx...
Well 0 is valuable for equations especially for describing systems of forces in equilibrium.
Or Calculating extremum.
Or place holding
I agree a lot of funky stuff does happen around 0 but that is no reason to get rid of it.
