I am familiar with that, but we have to find the transformed center as well as the axis of rotation.

(I know it should be normalized, but that's a lot of tex. The length of each of the vectors is so the determinant of this P should be 20, so the normalized form will equal 1. Ugh, I forgot to foil (3 + \sqrt{10})^2 when computing the distance. I guess this is the right answer after all.

I do understand that part. I know that for \lambda_1 = \frac{5 + \sqrt{10}}{2} will give (3 + \sqrt{10})x - y = 0 -x + (-3 + \sqrt{10})y = 0 and that's just solving for one of the equations like you said. I get, for instance \newcommand{\colv}[2] {\left(\begin{array}{c} #1 \\ #2...

I need to classify the conic given by the following equation: x^2 + xy + 4y^2 + 3x - 9 = 0 I found A = \left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & \frac{1}{2}\\\frac{1}{2} & 4\end{array}\right) I need to find an orthogonal matrix P with detP = 1. So I find the eigenvalues of A I get (\lambda -...

Thanks, I guess I wasn't looking at it the right way. Did you need the {'s around each t in the denominator?

Hello everyone, I'm taking a high level Geometry course, and as it turns out, I'm a tad out of touch on at least one basic aspect learned years passed. Parabola with equation y^2 = 2x, and parametric equation x = \frac{1}{2}t^2, y = t (t \in \Re) etc. The problem is concered with finding...

Thanks dduardo. I bet that would have been the solution we would come to . We are using the seek() function to extract the pieces from the 100% file, I just didn't think of pre-allocation, duh! I was thinking a solution of keeping track of the order of downloaded pieces, writing the pieces in...

My friend and I are developing a BitTorrent Client for our CS class, but we've run into a dilemma. If anyone can point us in the right direction we'll be thankful. A little background info if you're unfamiliar with BT. The file that is to be downloaded from multiple peers is broken up into...

Thanks for all of your suggestions guys, but I did find out a good way to do it: '\b'. :E edit: oops Nate didn't see your reply!

I was curious if anyone knows if there are any methods to do the following in java. I'm writing a terminal based program in java, and it will be doing incremental updates. I want to output to the terminal the percentage done, but to replace the last output. For example: $>java jprog...

Yah, looks good to me.

I was interested if anyone had suggestions of fields of study to couple with a computer science major. Thanks -Yoss

Thanks Tide, I got it. Sorry about the confusing notation. I'm not too savvy in LaTeX yet, and I was sort of in a rush. Been studying all night for my exam.

Oops, I did mean dQ/dt + (2/200 + 2t)Q = 20, but that's how I did work it out on paper and got that answer. What do you mean exactly?

Ok, first order linear mixing problem. "A 400 gal. tank initially contains 200 gal. of water containing 2 ppb by weight of dioxin, an extremely potent carcinogen. Suppose water containing 5 ppb of dioxin flows into the top of the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min. The water in the tank is kept well...
