    Proving Bounds for a Riemann Sum: Part II

    yes i meant S100 and J is from the first part Calculate J= the integral from 0-100 x^3/2dx which i found to be 40000 i think which leads onto the next two questions

    Why Can't I Find the Minimum Value for G(x) on the Interval [0, π/2]?

    yes i kind of understand what you mean... but since pi/2 is a boundary how do i know if its a max or min do i substitute it back into g(x) and g'(x) if so i get -pi/4 and -1 respectively sorry i still don't quite get it, could you please show me hot to work it out

    Proving Bounds for a Riemann Sum: Part II

    this is a riemann sum question and i need help with part 2 let Sn denote the finite sum 1+2^ 3/2 +...+n^ 3/2 i) use suitable upper and lower riemann sums for the function f(x)=x^3/2 on the interval [0,100] to prove that S99<J<100 ummm i did this and found 40000<J<41000 II) hence, or...

    Why Can't I Find the Minimum Value for G(x) on the Interval [0, π/2]?

    i know this is a basic calculus question, but i can't seem to get two answers. G(x) = 1/2 x^2sin2x+1/2 xcos2x - 1/4 sin2x find the maximum and minimum values for G(x) on the interval [0,pi/2] i found G'(x)= x^2 cos2x and i know that there is a global max at pi/4 but i can't find the...

    Point on line1 which is closest to line2

    ehild the question tells me my lines are in parametric vector form where l1 is represented as r1=i+j-3k-6(2i+2j+k) and l2 is represented as r2=-2i+2k-1(-j-k) my normal: 1/3 (-i+2j-2k) and the shortest distance is 3 i don't understand what you mean by the normal multiplied by the...

    Point on line1 which is closest to line2

    okay i have a normal which is perpendicular to both these lines: 1/3 (-i+2j-2k) and i found out that the shortest distance between my two lines is 3 or something what do i do now? do i leave line 1 in terms of xyz and line 2 in terms of ijk, take l2-l1 and make it =3?

    Point on line1 which is closest to line2

    the question asks me to find a point on the first line which is closest to line 2 what is the general procedure for this? do i get l ine2-line1=my shortest distance?

    Write 3 Scalar Eqns + System of 3 Linear Eqns for r,s,t

    does that mean i get three separate equations each with the three variables... but how do i balance them like you said?...

    How Much Sooner Does a Box Reach the Bottom of an Incline Compared to a Disk?

    A disk and a box of equal mass are released from the top of two inclines both of which are a height h above the ground and make an angle θ to the horizontal. Let the radius of the disk be R. How much sooner does the box reach the bottom of the incline than the disk? Express your answer in terms...

    Sketch Level Curves for z=0 and z=1: Tips and Tricks for Accurate Plotting

    umm so i did the double derivative of y=f(x,z) and i found z= 1/3 so is it at this point that the concavity changes? i did try to draw some level curves on the xy plane for z=2 and z=3 i found out that they were both concave down, so i would have z=o level curve concave up and z=1 z=2 z=3...

    Solve Complex Number Equation: z^2+4z ̅+4=0 | Expert Help Available

    i reread your explanation and redid it so what i did was sub a+ib and a-ib straight into z^2+4zbar+4=0 and i got a squared -b squared +4 + 4a +2bi(a-2) = o and then a-2=0 a=2 and a squared -b squared +4+4a=0 and i get a=2 and b=+/-4 do i sub these back into z and z bar or something?
