    Making new solution from stock solutions

    stock solutions: 100% acetic acid (liquid), 95% ethanol (liquid), dH20 (liquid) 1) 75 mL of Solution A: Fixing Solution (40% ethanol, 10% acetic acid) they are saying if we have a 100% stock of acetic acid and 95% stock of ethanol, how do we make them into 40% ethanol and 10% acetic acid...

    Finding the length of a curve

    Ok here goes, I hope that works... (1 + (1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4) 65/64 x^4 + 1/2 + 5/x^4 so now square root of that: root(65/65) x^2 + root (1/2) + root (5) / x^2 that looks bad, that's why I thought to do it the other way: (1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4)^(1/2) integrates to...

    Finding the length of a curve

    We can't add the one, and we can't just take the square root either. Have to just integrate it straight from the square root and plug in the numbers to get the length. This is what I did for the integration (1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4)^(1/2) = (2/3) (1 + (1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4))^(3/2) (x +...

    Finding the length of a curve

    ok so now I have: (2/3) (1 + (1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4))^(3/2) (x + (1/320 x^5 - 1/2x - 4/3 x^-3)

    Finding the length of a curve

    is it: 1/64 x^4 - 1/2 + 4/x^4 ?

    Finding the length of a curve

    the 1+ part isn't squared, just the inside bracket. I just left the square root part, but I only squared the inside.

    Finding the length of a curve

    24xy = x^4 + 48 y = (x^4 + 48) / 24x y = 1/24 x^3 + 2/x or 2x^-1 dy/dx = 3/24 x^2 - 2x^-2

    Finding the length of a curve

    Question: Find the length of the curve 24xy = x^4 + 48 between (2, 4/3) and (3, 43/24). Answer is supposed to be 9/8. This is the formula (I think): square root(1 + (dy/dx)^2 dx) I tried to integrate and I did it like this: dy/dx = 3/24 x^2 - 2x^-2 or 3/24 x^2 - 2/x^2 then: square root(1...
