is y=sin(x) the end behavior of y=sin(x/2)?

Which of the following describes the behavior of y = cubicroot(x + 2) at x = -2 (A) differentiable (B) corner (C) cusp (D) vertical tangent (E) discontinuity well i graphed the function, and I'm not sure.. i know for sure it isn't E... because f(-2) = 0... it has a value.. uhmm.. as...

Find the vertical asymptotes of the graph of F(x) = (3 - x) / (x^2 - 16) ok if i factor the denominator.. i find the vertical asymptotes to be x = 4, x = -4. The 2nd part of the problem asks: Describe the behavior of f(x) to the left and right of each vertical asymptote.. I'm not sure...

I was trying to find out why when you mix a cup of tea with loose tea in it, the loost tea is first at the bottom of the cup on the outside, but when you take the spoon out, the loost tea moves towards the middle of the bottom of the cup. couldn't find it anywhere else online, thought i'd try...

Perhaps pseudosci. but still interesting. I was wondering if there was a link between a psychological behavior idea of particles and if there was a term for it. Example: Electrons are lazy because they they take the easiest path to the ground Far-fetched example: Particles and atoms...

I turned the light on in my fishtank today and found 2 things: 1. The goldfish had its eyes "plucked" - simply they were missing from the sockets, and the goldfish was swimming upside down gulping for air at first, then tumbling and swimming normally for some time and swimming on belly again...

I am looking for an elegant way of demonstrating the parabolical behavior of the system: \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(vr)=0 u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}=\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\Big(r...

I would assume there are experimental attempts to use an MMx type interferometer to check out some of the questions that are debated about photons in a G field. For example, if we have a single leg interferometer (no back and forth reflections to gain a greater effective length) and set it up...

Here is a summary of the research published in the June 2005 issue of Psychology, Public Policy and Law, a journal of the American Psychological Association: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-04/cdri-bai042505.php Also see http://www.news-medical.net/print_article.asp?id=9530...

I have seen a number of discussions and articles regarding the seeming disparity between the behavior of photons through the traditional "two slit" experiment. As I understand this issue, quanta of light will interact in a reinforcing/cancelling wave interference pattern until the apparatus is...

Hi, I have a problem that talk about the behavior of two liquids in contact and a boundary that appears between them. I am lack of theory about this situation do anyone of you could help me to find some paper of articles that talk about this? Thank you, Aron

Howdy- Consider a low pass filter subjected to an AC source (i.e the "output" is the capacitor voltage). I understand mathematically how to assess the frequency reponse of such a circuit. What I am after is a conceptual description of why. Why do capacitors act as shorts to high...

Is it better to forgive others for wrongdoing or is it better to remember and treat them accordingly, or even seek to punish them to correct their faulty behavior as a parent might punish a child? What would happen if everyone agreed that either extreme was the way to go? What is your...

If you had continued to reduce the temperature of your real gas in this experiment (air mixture of mostly nitrogen and oxygen) to lower and lower temperatures, you would observe sudden drops in pressure at 90 K and 77 K. In other words, the behavior of the real gas would deviate significantly...

First of all, my sincere wishes of an Happy Christmas, full of joy, happiness and such feelings that make our life worthfull! I'm studying and researching about Chaos Theory, and currently I'm examining the following iterative equation: Xn+1 = c*(Xn-(Xn^3)/3) I've already managed to...

my understanding of the behavior of hawking radiation (with questions) is as follows: 1) in Q. Mechanics virtual particle/antiparticle pair are created randomly throughout the universe. Q1) without a complete layout of Q.M., why is this? 2) the gravity of a singularity will...

i think i asked a question here a long time ago and nobody fully answered it so here goes: what is the behavior of gravitons. i know they are virtual particles and cannot be observed, but is there a way to manipulate them such as we can with charged particles? also, have we any...
