Thank you Mentallic, greatly appreciated.

This is still confusing me.. The equation represents the difference quotient f(2+h)− f(2) /h it represents the slope of the secant line through the points (2, f (2)) and (2+h, f(2+h)) on the curve. But i used this equation to find the DQ = -h+1 in the first place - feels like I am going...

Thank you Ray, I am a mature age student trying to nut things out for myself, I don't always have access to teachers, tutors etc - so its a challenge most of the time. I appreciate the response. Regards

Ray I appreciate your comments. However your reply is bordering on "well aren't you an idiot" I have used this forum for a few years now, and never once have I received a reply like this. Not everyone fully understands calculus as you do - Just a simple " did you realize that you have...

Hi TT, that's where I am stuck, I am not sure as to the next step. Can I assume that the answer to the previous question is correct?

Homework Statement Original function f(x) = -x^2+5x-2 I have calculated the difference quotient as -2x-h+5 Then use difference quotient to calculate the average rate of change: for the following x=2 and x=2+h I need this to go on to the next part of the question and i wanted to ensure...

Many thanks, I appreciate the guidance.

Thank you, yes, you are right. I think just a lack of confidence in this aspect of Maths. Sorry to be a bother. Regards

Thank you for your assistance.

Homework Statement Hi there I need assistance with two graphs that are causing me some problems y=e(^-2x)(-1) and y=ln(x-2)+1 Homework Equations I just need some guidence as to where to start - starting with a table - what range is approriate? The Attempt at a Solution Stuck

Hi there Can someone please review my work and advise. Homework Statement Given log(a)b=3 , use the properties of logs to evaluate 4log(a)(1/b)+2log(a)b^3 Homework Equations I used the rules log(a)1 = 0 log(a)(x/y) = log(a)x-log(a)y log(a)x^m = mlog(a)x The...

I agree, it does making asking about the kinetic energy redundant - I think it is a typo.. Many thanks for all your help on this one.

The first question has the wavelength at 180 mm not nanometers. Convert that to meters is 0.18 m. Cheers

Homework Statement Hi there. I have two questions and in both I believe that no photoelectrons will be emitted from the surface. Question 1 A metal with a work function of 9 x 10^-19 J is irradiated with UV radiation of wavelength 180 mm. Will photoelectrons be emitted from the...

Many thanks to all respondants, I appreciate all your help with this one. Cheers

Anyone? Please assist. Regards

Hi there, and help! I have been attempting to nut this out and could use some guidance. I think that I have the equation right now E(max) = 2 x n (turns) x B(in tesla)x L x v sin (theta). Based on the info already available (see previous post) the max voltage is 1000 V. Can someone please...

I think I have worked it out, can someone please confirm. 10 Hertz converted to radians is 62.83, therefore my volts would drop to 314 V and minumum - if e = 0, then the minimum voltage should be 0. Cheers

Homework Statement Hi there, motor and generator gurus Suppose a generator has the following specifications, and the rotor turns with frequency 10 Hz. Determine the maximum and minimum value of the voltage generated, using the formula: ε = Βlv n = 1000 loops = 1000 B = 10 Tesla I...

Hi all I am still a standstill on this question as I don't have a power factor included in the question. Assistance greatly appreciated. Cheers P

Thanks Mark, for all your help. Cheers

Thanks HOI, I am getting two different answers and getting confused. Ill have another look at this. Cheers

Really sorry, If x = 12.4 Find the value of ... correct to two sig fgures 8^(4x/3) (divided by sign) log(base 10 subscript) (5x-3/x^0) - this is exactly how the question is written. x to the 0 power is 1 so log(base10)(5x-3/1) = log 59 8 to the power of 4x/3 if you substitute 12.4 into...

Hi Mark For this question - I need to substitute 12.4 into all x values. (5x-3/x to the power 0) so if you substitute 12.4 into the x in this part of the equation (12.4^0), yes, you will get (5(12.4)/1). Is a substitution question. I don't yet understand how to add the Maths chararcters...

Homework Statement Greetings - can someone please check my work, many thanks Homework Equations If x = 12.4 Find the value of ... correct to two sig fgures 8^(4x/3) / log(base 10) (5x-3/x^0) The Attempt at a Solution = 8^(16 8/15) / log(base 10) (5(12.4)-3 / 1) = 4.8 x 10^14 (via...

I have a further question about the efficiency calculation - to ensure that I get Watts for both input and output - can I convert VA to the following. A small transformer used to power a laptop computer has the following characteristics printed on it: • input AC 220 V, 50 Hz, 15 VA (Does...

Hi there Many thanks, can you advise on how to set the calculation out. Im confused about the 15VA part of the question can I use 15 VA in the equation or do I need to convert it to another unit type?? and also determining a value for the efficiency, how can that be done? Cheers P

Greetings physics gurus Im getting bogged down on conversion of the VA to A Homework Statement A small transformer used to power a laptop computer has the following characteristics printed on it: • input AC 220 V, 50 Hz, 15 VA. • output DC 5.0 V, 1.0 A. Is this transformer...

Many thanks Cheers P

Hi physics gurus Homework Statement What should the primary voltage be changed to in order to produce a secondary current of 10 A, given that the V / I ratios for the coils do not change? Current ratios that I have calculated so far are as follows: Np (200) Vp (1200) Is (15)...

Sorry, oooopppsss, can I say 48.6pi u3? I got the impression that I had gone horribly wrong. Manythanks for you responses. Cheers P

\pi\int_a^b\left(f(x)\right)^2dx y^2 = x and line y = 3 becomes y^4 = pi [y^5/5] 3 to 0 = pi [243/5] Example http://www.intmath.com/Applications-integration/4_Volume-solid-revolution.php Cheers P

Thanks Mentallic Yes, I realize I know the volume formulae. I calculate the volume would be 48.6 units cube - do you mind checking? Cheers P

Im finding the rational functions diffcult for some reason, sorry just not getting it at the moment. Many thanks, I will try and nut it myself. Cheers P

Part b) I use the f '(x) to find the turning point and determine their nature. I think that the second derivative is - (2x/(x^2-1) or - (2x/(x-1)^2(x+1)2 Therefore the stationary points where dy/dx = 0 ie x = +1 and -1 Therefore when x = +1 y + 0 and when x = -1 y = 0...

Hi there b) to f) is causing the problem Many thanks P

Hi there I have a Rational function y = 1 / x^2-1 . I have a good idea what the graph looks it, it will have vertical asymptotes at -1 and 1 and I can work out the y intercept (-1 concave down). However I'm not sure about the other parts to the question. Homework Statement dy/dx...

Thanks AM - you have the patience of a saint - yes, I did mean "mind". Many thanks. P

Thank you Filip for your assistance. Now this makes sense. CHeers P

Hi there AM - many thanks for your patience - its not an easy subject to get my around. Should that be \gamma*0.1044? Cheers P

Hi AM Thank you both for your asistance - depending on the number of figures used - you could end up with 7.07 rounding or 7.38 years (7.38) which is the same as part b) (c) How much time has passed on Earth’s clock, as seen from the spacecraft ? How do you tell which is the most...

Hi resaypi - this has confused me, sorry.

Hi AM t2 = 70.7 * (522.05 - (0.9999)(522)/(3.00^8)2 still get a strange figure. t2 = 8.02^-17 again this looks strange. Sorry to be such a pain.

The question is as stated no additional information. Formula comes from 1. Applying the conservation of momentum to this collision KVi - vi = KVf + vf 2. Applying the conservation of kinetic energy KVi^2 + vi^2 = KVf^2 + vf^2 Solving equations simultaneously for vf leads to the...
