Hi,
I have an organic chemistry assignment identifying an unknown sample. My tutor has asked for the properties (I can find all but refractive index) for vanillin and p-bromobenzophenone.
I found that for Vanillin it is 1.555 but I know that it changes with temperature and I cannot find a...
Hi there,
I currently have an assignment on calorimetry. I chose to burn different kinds of potato chips and measure the energy that they produce. I am now in the process of writing up my report and I am struggling to understand the respiration reaction.
The most common type of...
yeh i will just ask my teacher, i can get an answer that isn't wrong, just not sure if its the answer the teacher is looking for.
Thanks for all your help you guys!
actually in our case b represents the decay factor, as a result the x is positive. However, as x increases b would get smaller (for the model i just said), meaning that when it is multiplied to a, the value of y would decrease as x increases.
Homework Statement
In the standard model for exponential decay, y=ab^x , what does a represent and why?
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that a is the value of y when x=0, but I don't understand why this is the case. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I mean the center of the elipse.
Let c equal the distance between the elipse center and a focus.
a = the semi major axis
b = semi minor
c=sqrt(A^2 - b^2)
Is that what you meant?
