simple question, if the derivative of cos(x) as x->0 is 1, the is the derivative of cos(3x) as x->0 = 1 aswell?

thanks everyone, btw hallsofivy displacement is a vector, distance is not. just to cleat that up :) thanks again i understand the problem now

oh I am sorry, it is suposed to say 100m North

sry, i can't find the mistake your talking about, would that 85 be -115?

im not use to working is 3D so i need some help you are going to a restaurant. you leave your apartement and take the elevator 30 m down, then 15 m south to the exit. then u travel 200 m east and then 100 m to the restaurant. what is your displacement. so what i did is: -30k -15j...

finally, got it

thanks for the replies, but i don't understand how the c.d is 2h(2+h)

but those are different terms, arent i looking for a common denominator?

i don't understand

thanks okay stupid mistake, now I am stuck again tho \frac{2}{2(2+h)}-\frac{(2+h)}{2(2+h)}*\frac{1}{h} comes out to \frac{-1}{h}}*\frac{1}{h} gives me -1/h which doesn't work, darn

really isn't calculus but that's the name of my class so, anyway I am having a problem here. i think its pretty simple I am just missing something. I am supposed to find the slope of the tangent line using one point and: slope of tangent line = \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h} h\rightarrow0...

nvrm, the it is F \propto f^2mr thanks tho

doing a lab report on circular motion and was asked to make a combined proportionality statement, just asking yes or no, is this right? F_c \propto f^{2} \propto a_c \propto \frac{1}{m} \propto r where "F_c" is the centripetal force, "f" is frequency in Hz, "a_c" is the centripetal...

are you saying that space is infinite?

I see, so really the notion that the universe is still expanding today is an assumtion?

This stuff isn't fresh on my mind, but wouldn't the fact that we see continuous redshifting in galaxies billions of light years away relative to galaxies millions of light years away from us imply that the universe is still expanding in our present time? Sure the redshift we read on galaxie...

Hume's fork: "Either our actions our determined, in which case we are not responsible for them, or the result of random events, in which case we are not responsible for them." Is there any philosophy that suggests we are in control of our own actions?

sameandnot, the story of Daniel was just an example to prove that the Golden Rule was based on opinon and perspective. I didn't mean to imply that it was given to us to rule our societies and prove that it's flawed. Basically, the way I see, is that the Golden Rule is relative to any person's...

In what way has he violated it? Most, probably the criminal would like to be treated with respect, goodness and justice. But what does he know about respect, goodness and justice? Does he know exactly as much as the judge? The jury? Anyone? How can the way you want to be treated be universal...

Here's the unfolding you mentioned: You ask what is the source of conflict, I say the lack of virtue and rationality. You then ask, what is the source of lack of virtue and irrational thought? I do believe that this is the only meaningfull way to answer the tough questions in life, at...

I do, BUT, the way you wish to be treated is your wish, and your wish alone. Ill agree that most people would like to be treated in a good and just manner, but, what is "good" and what is "just" is no longer absolute if you use one single person's opinion of the two. Do you see what I'm saying...

The source of conflict, war and hate? First, I don't think war can be so easily associated with hate, because wars are caused mostly by conflict and selfishness. Either way, would you agree that conflict leads to war, as well conflict may lead to hate? If so, the we are looking for the source...

thanks for all the help andrew

I don't have the answer to this, and it's a big question so I'd like to know if I got it right. Thanks Determine the \Delta H value for reaction A: A)3CH_4 \rightarrow C_3H_8 + 2H_2 \Delta H=? Okay so I was given a reference table and used these two equations for Hess' Law...

sry my latex is messed up, the h should be capitalized and there should be a space in between the equation and the delta H o so it would? how come? because I understand it as yes, when you double the amount of reactants and products you need double the energy, but even so, the enthalpy change...

lets say u have: Ch_4 \rightarrow C + 2H_2 \Delta H + 74.9 kJ When you multply the whole equation by 2, does the change in enthalpy double? or does it stay the same? keeping in mind that it's reduced to kJ/mol... thanks 2Ch_4 \rightarrow 2C + 4H_2 \Delta H + 149.8 kJ ??

no it helped sameandnot, thanks, apreciate it

what do you mean? i meant if i were to quote him what would i put in parenthathese like (Phaedo 152a) or watever, how do i know what page to write if i don't have the Stephanus Edition?

i need a little help, how do i quote Plato if i don't have the Stephanus Edition? i just have a book called "dialogues Plato" thanks

sorry that's not what i really meant, i meant did i missinterpret any of plato or aquina's philosophies

I'd like to ask a question: Would you guys agree that IF we could understand our Purpose, then morality would be absolute?

Besides for going in circles, is any of my reasoning false or illogical? just wondering...

AKG, you are right and I agree with your critism, the only thing I would say in defence is that The Morals are given to us by god, but we can only find them in our conscience, which is innate. God has given us a purpose, I tried to prove that if morality where to exist then a purpose would...

Hi, I've been reading a lot about philosophy to write an argumentative essay on Absolutism vs. Relativism in favor or moral absolutism. Unfortunatly I have come to the point where I'm thinking too hard. I am not good enough in philosophy (very new to it!) to prove that absolute morals exist, I'm...

cesium can u give me some me keywords about these compounds so that i can look them up and read about them? thanks

here's the quote i read "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute. [1]"

anyone?...

I apreciated your replies. I think because of Livingod's statement, this discussion could take a turn to meta-ethics: What is "good" treatement? Can we simplify the rule to "treat people good"? The Golden (not silver) rule is "treat others as you want to be treated." My question is, isn't...

maybe i should say that the golden rule is not a law, just a rule, forgive me.

as stated in the Bible, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" or simply "Treat others as you want to be treated." is the golden rule. But since the way you wish to be treated is you're choice, would that make "Treat others as you want to be treated." a relative law? Can't...

in ayn rand's philosophy of objectivism she says that a man's only absolute is his reason. Since no man has the exact same reasoning (or intuition) would this imply that mankind's reason is relative? and if you were an objectivist, would that mean you would also be a relativist? thnx

thanks for the diagram i really apreciate it, i got the right answer now, but not exactly in your way. once i saw how u resolved the tensile force, i just did Tsin(35)=4.2e-3, and Tcos(35)=6.0e-3, solving those gave me the x and y components to the tensile force (they were both equal so i didnt...

thanks fermat, but i don't understand wat u did...

okay, but wat about finding the tension, how do i do that?

a small spider weighing about 6.0e-3 N, hangs on its thread from the branch of a tree. A horizontal wind blows the spider and the thread to and angle of 35 degrees from the vertical. a)find the horizontal force of the wind on the spider b)find the tension in the thread i got a, here's wat...

got it :) thanks bro

thanks dduardo, i got openoffice n i typed in a random chemistry equation n id like to know how bring it into either word or open office where i can place it in a lab report. thanks in advance

ive searched and searched but i only found a way to use subscripts in the Field Equation mode (which doesn't even work btw), not in the equation editor... :(

okay I've installed equation editor on microsoft word, and the only thing i don't know how do to is sub-numbers like H_2. how do i get the "2" as a sub number? i can't find it on the equation toolbar...

i would like to type up a lab report with a lot of equations and calculations on word but i don't know how to use latex on word, wat do i have to do? thnx
