Because sometimes I may not draw the graph perfectly and may miss which equation is suppose to be subtracted from the other. I had this happen before.

Is there a way to solve a Disk,Washer,Shell method problem without actually creating a graph?

Im having a issue with studying physics. When I receive a HW problem I dive deep into the problem in a holistic way. I tend to start solving problems that are related to the HW problem but are not the HW problem itself. For instance, I received a pendulum problem and was asked to find its...

I found a book that was translated, however I would like to know the math before I dive in. I read that it was synthetic geometry and some other geometry, maybe Euclidean?

Summary:: What kind of geometry/Math do I need to understand to read this book? Hey people! I would like to know what kind of geometry and/or math would I need to understand this book. I skimmed through it( The translated version by Florian Cajori) and seen that it gets technical with shapes.

Homework Statement:: Tell me if a sequence or series diverges or converges Relevant Equations:: Geometric series, Telescoping series, Sequences. If I have a sequence equation can I tell if it converges or diverges by taking its limit or plugging in numbers to see what it goes too? Also if I...

Why is there a absolute value sign on sinx? Does it have to do with the domain of cot x and sin x?

There are different ways of doing math. As long as you follow the logic you can solve the problem. I do math in a way that I understand. I figured out what I did wrong. I was squaring the y^2 value to early in the problem. I was suppose to do it at the end to eliminate the square root.

Im confused about a certain part of solving an equation. So I used the hyerbola formula to find the answer but I think I did the math wrong. X^2-y^2=c^2 X=1 Y= (2x^5-1)^2 I did the calculations as you can see in the picture but I know I messed up on the square root part. When you square one...

This youtube video teaches you how to put it in the calculator.

I think I know what I did wrong. I redid the problem and got the right answer. I just don’t understand how when you put values in the calculator for arccosx and arcsec(1/x) you get and error for one and a number for the other.

Its completely different. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Unless arccos(x) ≠arcsec(1/x) like I stated at the top right of the board.

What do you get when you put it in a calculator? I tried to resolve the problem but with arcsec(1/x) and got a different answer than the derivative of 1/arccosx

Yes the negative on top and the one at the bottom cancel. I just didn’t show it canceling. Thank you for the help.

I figured it out
