    When to use Gen. Fourier, F.Sine, F.Cos, and Laplace Transforms

    Hi I was just wondering when do we use the different variations of the General Fourier, Fourier Sine Transform, Fourier Cosine Transform, and Laplace Transforms. I missed my lecture and I overheard that apparently there needs to be specific boundary conditions or initial conditions which...

    Joint PMF of x and y: Calculating c, Marginal PMFs, and Expected Values

    Thanks for your reply, I'll give it a shot now. x,y 1 2 3 1 2c 5c 10c 2 5c 8c 13c 3 10c 13c 18c is this right so far? if so, then is it just 83c = 1? c=1/84 i hope it is...

    Joint PMF of x and y: Calculating c, Marginal PMFs, and Expected Values

    Homework Statement Hi, if you could offer help to any of these questions, it would be great, i was unable to attend my lectures this week and I had no idea how to do these. The joint pmf of x and y is p x,y = c(x^2 + y^2) x,y = 1,2,3 Find: a. c and the marginal pmfs of x and y b. e(x)...

    Heat equation and taylor's approximation

    I know what it is for a 1 variable equation, but for a 2 variable equation I am a bit stumped. is it where you have to replace Q(x,y) with x=a+h y=b+k ?

    Heat equation and taylor's approximation

    thanks heaps for that lane dance! I didnt know where to start but I managed to get an answer...for both dT/dt and dT/dx and just derive dt/dx again to get d^2T/dx^2 I just need a bit of help now with the second part, how would you use the taylor approximations for that

    Heat equation and taylor's approximation

    I understand that, but I just don't know how you would even begin tackling this question. How would you even be able to take the derivative of that function?
