Hi all, does anyone know what type of problem this would be classified as, and what kind of algorithm I could use to get a solution? minimize: P=60w1+30w2+10w3+100w4 subject to: P ≥ 50 0 < wi ≤ 1 thanks very much

Upon calculating the electric field for a plate of charge, you arrive at: E = Q/Ae (Q the charge on the plate, A the area of the plate, e the permittivity of the dielectic) But then, isn't the total electric field between the plates twice this because of the equal but opposite charge on the...

If you have a statement that is known to be true and you "derive" a new expression using valid methods then the initial statement implies the derived statement so it is true.

thanks man! perfect

I was working on a problem, and in my solution I came across a situation which I will try and state in the following question: Given two functions, f(x) and g(x), how would you find a line such that the line is tangent to f(x) at some point x=a, and tangent to g(x) at some point x=b, assuming...
