    Find the Region enclosed

    ah, 0.9pi is equal to 162 degrees right? i graphed it using my calculator. don't know why, but i thought of 0.9pi as 2.872433. so would my equation look like this... \int 4cos(x) -3sin(x) (a=0,b=.295\pi) + \int 3sin(x) - 4cos(x) (a=.295\pi,b=9\pi) is that correct?

    Find the Region enclosed

    Find the area of the region enclosed between y=3sin(x) and y=4cos(x) from x=0 to x=0.9\pi . does that mean the integral would like this: \int 4cos(x) - 3sin(x) (a=0, b = 0.9*pi) is that correct?

    Sketch Region enclosed

    k checked that part and got the same signs, so what is wrong with my answer? did i set up the equation correctly? (is there a Ti-83 plus program i can use to check my answer? or is there any math program for the computer that would do this for me?

    Sketch Region enclosed

    Sketch the region enclosed by x+y^2=12 and x+y=0. Decide whether to integrate with respect to x or y. Then find the area of the region. first thing i did was solve for x for each equation then set them to each other and got: 12-y^2=-y y^2-y-12=0 found the points of intersection of y...

    Projectile Motion Leap Question

    sorry to go back to a question you already answered, but how did you find the time it will take? i found that V(0)x = 3.5m/s V(0)y = 0 m/s would you use this to find the time? x(0) would be 4.5 since it's the initial height right? x(t) = x(0) + v(0)t + 1/2(a)(t)^2? 0 = 4.5 + 3.5t +...

    Trigonometric substitution integrals

    \int \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{(7x^2 + 8)}} ok this one is a bit hard...i been thinking about this one for awhile. can i do \int \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{(7x^2 + 7 + 1)}} ? sin^2(\theta) + cos^2(\theta) = 1 so... well i know it's sec^2(\theta) from solving the previous problem \int...

    Free fall acceleration flowerpot problem

    yea i did use that equation, -1.9 = v(0)(0.42) - 4.9(0.42)^2 solved for v and plugged it into vf^2 - v(0)^2 = 2gh dont know why i get a different answer i even used your formula and get -2.764

    Free fall acceleration flowerpot problem

    coconut, i have the same problem as you(with different numbers), are you doing your homework on mp also? -1.9 = v(0)(0.42) - 4.9(0.42)^2 after solving this for v(0) i get -2.46m/s (-2.46)^2 =2(-9.8)h h = -.308m does that look right? seems incorrect to me

    Math sin integral help

    why did you remove cos^2(4x)? i don't get it for example: = \int (1-cos^2(4x)) * cos^{10}(4x) * sin(4x) dx you use 1 to multiply cos^{10}(4x) * sin(4x) dx then you use cos^2(4x) to multiply cos^{10}(4x) * sin(4x) dx right? that's how i got cos^{12}(4x)cos^2(4x)sin(4x)dx... am i...

    Math sin integral help

    \int sin^3(4x)cos^{10}(4x) dx ok i know that i need to borrow the a sin, cause the sin has an odd power \int sin^2(4x)cos^{10}(4x) sin(4x)dx ok used one of the trig ids. on sin^2(4x) = \int (1-cos^2(4x)) * cos^{10}(4x) * sin(4x) dx =\int cos^{10}(4x)*sin(4x)dx - \int...

    what is -ve? and why is the answer for problem A.) a positive answer? after inserting -6.35, i get a negative answer. so... why is the answer positive instead of negative? "For the last part, don't forget that you begin with a velocity of -6.35 m/s" are you talking about problem C.)...

    Free fall question

    A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's hand with a speed of 6.35m/s . Air resistance may be ignored, so the water balloon is in free fall after it leaves the thrower's hand. A.) What is its speed after falling for a...

    Evaluate integration

    ok i know how you got \int{\frac{t^{15}}{15} \frac{dt}{t}} = \int{\frac{t^{14}}{15}dt but how did you get \int{\frac{t^{14}}{15}dt = \frac{t^{15}}{225} i know you got the anti-derv. of it, and i tried to look in my book for a form like that, but i can't find it. can you explain to me...

    Man catching a bus

    Inserting the formulas you found for xman(t) and xbus(t)into the condition xman(t catch) = xbus(t catch), you obtain the following: -b + ctcatch=1/2at^2catch Intuitively, the man will not catch the bus unless he is running fast enough. In mathematical terms, there is a constraint on the...

    Man catching a bus

    your right,thanks. i have another question what is Xbus(t) the position of the bus as a function of time? using the formula x(t) = x(0) +v(0)t + (1/2)at^2 x(t) = b +v(0)t +(1/2)ct^2 hmm what would be v(0)t? and is my setup correct? and what should i do next?

    Man catching a bus

    A man is running at speed c (much less than the speed of light) to catch a bus already at a stop. At t=0, when he is a distance b from the door to the bus, the bus starts moving with the positive acceleration a. Use a coordinate system with x=0 at the door of the stopped bus i have two...

    Hard physics problem

    A sled starts from rest at the top of a hill and slides down with a constant acceleration. At some later time it is 14.4 m from the top; 2.00 s after that it is 25.6 m from the top, 2.00 s later 40.0 m from the top, and 2.00 s later it is 57.6 m from the top. Question A.) What is the...

    Find the length of the side of a cube of iron

    i got x=.0610687 when trying to find the volume. so shouldn't it be x=6.11\times 10^{5}m^3=V instead of x=6.11\times 10^{-5}m^3=V? cause x=6.11\times 10^{-5}m^3=V =.0000611 right? so...V=.0610687 = L^3 L=\sqrt[3]{.0610687} L = .3937974428 m^3 <-- that doesn't seem to convert to around...

    Find the length of the side of a cube of iron

    let me show you what i done. cross multiply, so i get 7.86000kgx=0.480kg x=.0610687 <-- is that the volume? that doesn't look right, i know I am doing it incorrectly. why did you convert 480g to .480? and what should i do with 1m^3? am i suppose to do unit conversions first? I am sorry, I...
