    Deriving the enclosed Mass

    Homework Statement A popular model for the mass distribution in a spheroid (such as a bulge) is the Hernquist model, with density ρ(r) = M(total)*a / 2πr(a+r)^3 M(total) is the total mass. a is constant with dimensions of length. Derive the enclosed mass M(r) The Attempt at a...

    Understanding Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues in Linear Algebra

    I am trying to get an eigenvector for the following matrix, I am up to the final step. 4 1 0 0 I got it to be -1 4 is this the same as 1 -4 sorry I am pretty new to linear algebra.

    Solve the Initial Value Problem

    Okay I just looked it up in my book and there is a procedure to do that. If (Nx-My) / M = Q where Q is a function of y only then the integrating factor of the equation is u(y) = exp (int) Q(y) dy

    Solve the Initial Value Problem

    I was referring to finding the integrating factor of Exact equations. With the form: (M)dx + (N)dy = 0 and then to find the integrating factor you do du / dx = (My - Mx) / N * u where u is the integrating factor and when I write My I mean M derived with respect to y. An example would be a...

    Solve the Initial Value Problem

    Thanks for the assist hunt_mat. And lineintegral1, I had a general question about finding the integrating factor for the non-exact equations. I know how to find the integrating factor when it will be dependent on x : du/dx = My - Nx / N * u where u is the integrating factor. But what about...

    Solve the Initial Value Problem

    Wow that does make it a lot easier. I was practicing using the Integrating factor approach so I didn't even try seeing it that way, my bad. So is there a way to get an Integrating factor for this problem by making it: (2x)dx - (y + (x^2)y)dx = 0 ?

    Solve the Initial Value Problem

    Homework Statement y' = (2x) / (y+(x^2)y) y(0) = -2 The Attempt at a Solution I tried doing this by finding the Integrating factor and I got that to be u = -1-x^2 by using the (My - Nx) / N formula. Using this did not work out for me and I'm not seeing the other approach...

    Triple Integral Problem

    Homework Statement Find the volume of the solid that lies within the sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 =4, above the xy-plane, and below the cone z=sqrt(x^2 + y^2). The Attempt at a Solution Use Cylindrical Coordinates. Note that r ≤ z ≤ √(4 - r^2). These sphere and cone intersect when x^2 + y^2 +...

    Integration and cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    Homework Statement I have three problems and I could really use some help. 1. Integrate the function f(x,y,z) = y over the part of the elliptic cylinder x^2/4 +y^2/9 = 1 that is contained in the sphere of radius 4 centered at the origin and such that x≥0, y≥ 0, z≥0. 2. Find the total...
