    Separable differential equation

    well you got most of it but i don't know why you are trying 9 and -3 as c. it says y(0) = -3 y = +-4*(x^2+1) + c so y(0) = +-(0^2+1) + c = -3 can you figure it out from here

    Solving Related Rates Problem: Cylinder Cone Volume and Surface Area

    well since the diameter is 10 when the height is 10 you can define one of them in terms of the other one, then you can take the derivitave wrt that variable. do you know how to do this?

    Solving Related Rates Problem: Cylinder Cone Volume and Surface Area

    for one you must understand that diamater of the cone is changing with the height.

    Implicitly Deifned Parametrization

    no because x^2 = 4 does give two roots. +2 and -2. -2*-2 = 4 2*2 = 4

    Physics Question: How Fast Do You Need to Walk to Fall Over a Cliff Railing?

    ok so the person is a rigid body. ant this person is walking at a velocity of V. their height is 170 cm and weight is 80kg. the railing is 90 cm high. first thing you do is draw a fbd then determine the forces at the points in which are in contact. you know how to do that?

    Physics Question: How Fast Do You Need to Walk to Fall Over a Cliff Railing?

    ok now what is your question? you need to give position, velocity, acceleration, friction... can you give us a specific question or is this a general one.

    Physics Question: How Fast Do You Need to Walk to Fall Over a Cliff Railing?

    you are going to need a little more info than you have given. like how high is the railing... what kind of collision...

    How Do You Determine When to Multiply by \(x\) or \(x^2\) in ODE Solutions?

    you would multiply the paticular solution by x^2 when there is a repeated root of multiplicity of 3. In other words if the solution had a triple root of 1. a*e^x + b*x*e^x + c*x^2*e^x

    How Do You Solve an Exact Differential Equation?

    you would integrate the original functions M and N M = -2xy^2 + 2y dx N = -2x^2y +2x dy

    How Do You Solve an Exact Differential Equation?

    first you took the derivative wrong it should be -4xy+2 after that you would intergate and combine terms can you do this
