    Solve Gompertz Model for Population Growth with Help | TIA

    I need help in solving the following solution. The Gompertz model has been used to model population growth. dy/dt = -ryln(y/k), where r = 0.67 per year, K = 36500 kg, Use the Gompertz model to find the predicted value of y(4) . TIA.

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    P0 really is meant to say P subscript 0. Didn't know how to do this in here. Couldn't Copy & paste from word either.

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    SteveL27, yes this is exactly where I am stuck. I do believe I understand the question however, I am having a very difficult time put words on paper that explains it. thrill3rnit3, I will attempt what I think..here goes.. I believe that "let P be any point in S such that (P-P0)/2 <...

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    firstly: THANK YOU all for taking the time and trying to point me in the right direction. Now, I am sitting here pondering on this problems "Open Set" problems. I believe the question I should be asking is whether someone can explain to me Open Sets using δ & ε? with examples and...

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    Ok guys, my apologies. I did more research on this problem set and this is exactly what is given. Is the set S = {P=(x,y): |y| > 0} open or not? {P=(x,y): |y| > 0} = {P=(x,y): (y > 0) or (y <0)} = {P=(x,y):y ≠ 0} I need to show whether this is a open set or not? Hope this iis more...

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    So the definition or what I understand a "Open Set" is; Any arbitrary point P within a set must be < than the δ or radius in order to satisfy as an "Open Set". Was this what you are asking? I am simply confused and lost on how one would write a proof and hence I need a better explanation...

    Epislon & Delta for Open / Not Open Sets

    So the problem given is: Is the set S = {P=(x,y): |y| > 0} open or not? I want to know how do I tackle or decipher this?...I have spent a good 2 days researching and reviewing the textbook example and I am simply not getting it.

    Is Lagrange's Theorem the Key to Solving This Vector Equation?

    I like Serena, My understanding to cross product is using the matrix, am I right? (ith, jth and kth terms) and as I have given the terms A=(a1, a2, a3) B=(b1, b2, b3) and so on..than to solve the cross product. I simply took the crossed out the first column and row and than did the cross...

    Is Lagrange's Theorem the Key to Solving This Vector Equation?

    So turns out the instructor had typo in the problem. it should be (A x B) . (C x D) = (A . C) (B . D) - (A . D) (B . C) The way I started was let A = {a1, a2, a3 } and so on for the remaining (B, C, D). I assume it is a matrice and will proceed as a dot product. Than I am unsure if this right...

    Is Lagrange's Theorem the Key to Solving This Vector Equation?

    Proof using lagrange! Homework Statement (A x B) . (C x D) = (A . B) (C . D) - (A . D) (B . C) Homework Equations This is all that's given..I am sort of lost on how to proof this. Spent 4hrs + The Attempt at a Solution Completely lost and don't know where to start
