    How is equation transformed by matrix

    So i got some points on that line. I used (2,2) and (0,1). Then i drew the plot. then i multiplied A by (2, 2). Multiplying A by (2, 2) seems incorrect. Here is what it looks like anyways... A = [ <1; -1> , <-1; 2> ] [<2; 2>] = [ <2; -2> , <-2; 2> ] (where <stuff> is meant to be...

    How is equation transformed by matrix

    1) what do you mean by raising the point (x,y)^T ? 2) I still don't understand what I am supposed to do with regards to the equation and the matrix A. It sounds like maybe i find a point on the line in the equation (lets say (29, 8) which prob isn't on the line but just for example) and...

    How is equation transformed by matrix

    Homework Statement Consider in R^2 the points satisfying the equation 2x_2 − x_1 − 2 = 0. Show on a plot the points satisfying this equation. How are these points transformed by the matrix A = [ 1 −1 −1 2 ] Hint: To draw the plot, use the fact that two points determine a line...

    Integral of 1/(cosx-1)

    Homework Statement help me out. I want to find the integral of 1/(cosx-1). I first multiplied the function by cosx+1/cosx+1. then i ended up with the integral of (cosx+1)/(-sinx)^2 leading to integral of cosx/(-sinx)^2 plus integral of 1/(-sinx)^2. the integral of 1/(-sinx)^2 i believe...

    Integral of [(6x^2)(e^(x^2))]

    Homework Statement This is an example problem from my stewart calculus book. the whole problem is "solve this diff eq: y' + 3(x^2)y = 6x^2 next step is to find I(x) which is e^(x^3) and multiply everything by that then you say (I(x)y)' = 6(x^2)(e^(x^3)) and then you integrate both sides so...

    2nd derivative test of a polynomial and related material

    Homework Statement I am working on developing the graph for the following function: h(x)= (x+1)^5 -5x -2. i have h'(x) = 5(x+1)^4 -5 and h''(x) = 20(x+1)^3 i get stuck when trying set h'(x) = 0. i know that there are four roots because i graphed it on my calculator but using...

    Solve Infinite Limit Problems: 2-x/(x-1)^2 & e^x/(x-5)^3

    Homework Statement the book says "find the infinite limit", but it says "lim as x --> 1 of 2-x/(x-1)^2 I don't understand this or how to find the answer. if it was an infinite limit, shouldn't it say as x approaches infinity? The back of my text says the answer is infinity but i don't know...
