    Using chain rule to differentiate x^x

    Alright so taking it a step further: \frac{df}{dt} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \frac{dy}{dt} + \frac{\partial f}{\partial z} \frac{dz}{dt} y(t)=t z(t)=t \frac{dy}{dt} = 1 \frac{dz}{dt} = 1 \frac{df}{dt} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial f}{\partial z}...

    Using chain rule to differentiate x^x

    Homework Statement Use the chain rule to find (d/dx)(xx) by using the function f(y,z)=yz. Homework Equations Chain rule: \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{\partial z}{\partial y} \frac{dy}{dt} The Attempt at a Solution I honestly have no clue on how to use...

    Quick Sound Question Homework: Lowest & Next Two Freqs at 3m & 3.8m

    Oh, I think I got it. If I were to double the frequency, then the wavelength would be halved. But since the guy is already standing at half the wave length, he would hear constructive interference. So to get destructive interference he has to be at 3/2 the wave length. Then you have to...

    Quick Sound Question Homework: Lowest & Next Two Freqs at 3m & 3.8m

    Homework Statement Two loudspeakers are 2.5 m apart. A person stands 3.0 m from one speaker and 3.8 m from the other. Assume the air temperature is 20°C. (a) What is the lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occur at this point? (b) Calculate the next two...

    How Does Coulomb's Law Apply to Electric Fields at Points A and B?

    Homework Statement Use Coulomb's law to determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at points A and B in Fig. 16-57 due to the two positive charges (Q = 8.0 µC) shown. Is your result consistent with Fig. 16-31b? Figure 16-57 Figure 16-31b A)Find the magnitude of...
