    Solving a Dumb Math Question: Simplifying Equations with Variables

    Homework Statement Ok, so I have a=2bc^3 and b= c/f but I want to get rid of the b's. Homework Equations So I know I do a=2(c/f)c^3 The Attempt at a Solution This is where I get lost (and feel stupid). Does this get simplified to (2c^4)/f? Or, is does it stay the same because...

    Help with a relativity question

    yes i think so. i copied the question exactly. iRaid- how did you get from d/(d/t1+d/t2)=t1*t2/t1+t2?

    Help with a relativity question

    i believe so. the question is asking how long will it take to get to baggage claim if the machine is working and you are walking on in.

    Help with a relativity question

    1. ok, my dad and I are trying to solve this problem, but we're both having difficulty: "When the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire...

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    thanks flyingpig, you've been a great help!

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    sorry, i meant 1+1=2. you've been really helpful, and don't let me keep you awake! :)

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    so then to prove (2), we would have to do n+1, which, in our case, is 0+1=1 and that would give us 1-r^2 / 1-r right?

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    ok...so when the right side equals the left side... what does that mean?

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    but what does it mean on the LHS?

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    does it mean that it's "proven"?
  11. R

    What is the solution to r^(n+1)*(1-r) in calculus?

    then the right hand side will equal 1. right?
