I'm trying to find the area of some shape with a straight line for the bottom, two curves on the sides and a straight top. Let's say I can only use calculus-like math. I can turn it on it's side and put it on a graph, but now there's now formula for the curved lines. What do I do? Do I split it...

I know that you can split, say H2O by using electrolysis. From there the hydrogen atoms would go to the negative electrode (cathode) and the oxygen atoms would go to the positive electrode (anode). But what if you wanted to separate the two even more, such as pulling the hydrogen atoms to one...

What is chaos theory? I know this is a broad subject, so feel free to direct me to books or links.

Thanks you all!

What is dark matter? I understand this is a huge topic, so feel free to refer me to a book or link. Thank you.

Thanks!

Why are reference angles necessary in trigonometry. I understand they are the acute version of an obtuse angle.

The question is in the title: What are quarks made of? Strings? Thanks.

Thanks Bill!

Quantum! I have seen so many books and articles that say quantum has to do with peace or love or the meaning of life.

Quantum mechanics is one field in quantum physics.

Hey everyone, I know that quantum mechanics is a sub topic of quantum physics and is the most general also, but I'm having trouble finding an article that is recent, detailed, and accurate. So if you guys could explain the basics and go into detail when you feel necessary. Thanks.

Hey everyone. I was wondering how a magnetron in a microwave works. I understand it emits microwaves and a fan pushes them in random directions to heat up food. Thanks.

Hey, I know this is pretty random, but I have a few questions about heat pumps. Does the refrigerant run out or is it circulated over and over again? Also, how does the compressor play into it? I know this is a simple question that will get simple answers, but if anyone knows anything, leave a post.

I figured it all out thanks to Sammy and LCKurtz. Thanks everyone, I had just entered the graph wrong.
