    Crash Project by 4 Days: Solve Part B | Help w/ Table

    By how many days should each activity be reduced the project completion time by 4 days? I have all the parts right except for part B. I thought it was 2 but it's not. What I did was subtract normal time from crash time and it worked for all the problems except B. Here's a link to the table. Any...

    Real Rate 4%, Inflation 7%: Calculate Nominal Interest Rate

    What would you expect the nominal rate of interest be if the real rate is 4% and the expected inflation rate is 7%? I did n=4 I=7 (1+.04)= (1+.07)+(1+r) 1.04/1.07 - 1 = -2.80. Is that correct?

    Find Area Using Definite Integral: [5,10]

    Use the definite integral to find the area between the x-axis and F(x) over the indicated interval. Check first to see if the graph crosses the x-axis in the given interval. F(x)= 4x-32 ; [5,10] I did y = 0 => 4x - 32 = 0 => x = 8 => graph crosses x-axis at x = 8 Also it is +ve for x > 8...

    How Do You Solve an Integral Using Substitution?

    Use substitution to find each indefinite integral. ∫ (square root 2 + lnx) / x ; dx I did u=2+ln(x) then differentiate both sides to get du=0+dx/x ∫ (square root 2 + lnx) / x ; dx ∫ (square root u) du ∫ u^0.5 du u^(3/2)/(3/2)+c =(2+ln(x))^(3/2) +c Is the answer right? Thanks.

    Is My Calculation of the Antiderivative Correct?

    Find the following. ∫ (56t^(5/2) + 18t^(7/2))dt. I did (2/7)56 t^(7/2) + (2/9)18t^(9/2) + c = 16t^(7/2) + 4t^(9/2) + c

    Is this the correct way to find the antiderivatives?

    Find the following. ∫ (v^2 - e^(3v)) dv. I did ∫(V^2-e^(3v)) dv ∫(v^2)dv - I (e^(3v) )dv ∫(v^3)/3- (e^(3v))/3 ∫(v^3-e^(3v))/3 Did I so it right?

    Find the equation of the parabola

    Find the equation of the parabola (in standard form) whose vertex is at the origin, has a vertical axis, and passes through the point (-2,5). Thanks y = ax^2 sub in the point (-2, 5) and solve for a 5 = a(-2)^2 5 = a(4) a = 5/4 Final equation is y = (5/4)x^2. Is that right?

    Calculators Using TI-30XA: Solving 50e^(-.00043448 * 5000)

    Im not allow to use TI-84 anymore and have to use TI-30XA. I need help putting in 50e^(-.00043448 * 5000). I did -.00043348*5000 first and got -2.1674. I have problem with this part. On the TI-84 I can do it but having trouble on my new calculator. I type 50e but it gives me 5.184705529^21. What...
