    MHB Does anyone know the answer (s) to this?

    Here's the derivative for the function of power, P=Av^2+\frac{B}{v} (\text{Where }A\text{ and }B\text{ are positive constants)} that they give in the introduction to the problem: P'(v)=2Av-\frac{B}{v^2} To answer \text{(a) What speed }vP\text{ minimizes power?} we set this expression...

    In terms of getting useful replies, it would probably be best if you showed us where in the two problems you are having difficulty and how we can help. If you need to refer directly to the math in either of the two problems, please be quote it directly in your post. (clicking on the .pdf link...

    MHB Summing Series Limit as N→∞

    \[ \lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac{x}{2^n}\sin^2\left(\frac{x}{2^n}\right)\rightarrow0\times0^2\rightarrow0 \] but as the limit is taken over positive $x$ the limit tends to infinity.

    MHB Determine the area of a region between two curves defined by algebraic functions

    You need the roots $a,b$ of the equation $3\sqrt{x}-4=3x\sqrt{5}-\frac{8}{5}$ Once you have established these roots use them as endpoints in $\int_{a}^{b}\left(3\sqrt{x}-4-3x\sqrt{5}+\frac{8}{5}\right)dx$ The result is the area $A$ of $R$.

    MHB Sin(y) - y = x√(2)

    In general, periodic functions are of interest due to their frequent occurrence in natural phenomenon. As speculation, this particular function may be of interest due the times and places it occurs.

    MHB Quadratic With No Real Zeros

    Note the concavity of $f(x)$. What does that tell you about lowering the graph of $f(x)$? (the line $y=0$ does not concern us presently).

    MHB Quadratic With No Real Zeros

    Note the range of $f(x)$. A and B are vertical shifts, C and D are horizontal shifts. Which one of the given shifts would result in the graph of $f(x)$ not crossing the $x-\text{axis}$?

    First, we need to establish $\sin\theta$ and $\cos\theta$. $9^2+(-5)^2=106$ (Pythagorean theorem) so $\sin\theta$ is $\sqrt{\frac{|-5|}{106}}, \text{that is}, \left(\frac{opp}{hyp}\right)$ and $\cos\theta$ is $\frac{3}{\sqrt{106}}, \text{that is}, \left(\frac{adj}{hyp}\right)$ (recall that...

    MHB Equation of Normal to Curve at (1,5): Solved?

    Country Boy Is correct in stating that the slope of the tangent line is 2. So the tangent line equation is y = 2x + 3 and the equation of the normal is then y = -x/2 + 11/2

    Hi riffwraith. Please use accurate terminology in your thread titles. The use of "ftg" is ambiguous as, as far as I know, it is not standard terminology. In fact, please try to avoid abbreviations altogether. I've edited the title for you. .

    MHB AP calculus exam tikx graph of e (tan x ) -2

    Observing that $y=e^{\tan x} - 2$ has a root in [0, 1] at $\text{atan}(\log2)$, we need to evaluate $2\sec^2(\text{atan}(\log2))$. That is approximately 2.961, hence choice D is correct.
