I want to find the cumulative mass m(r) of a mass disk. I have the mass density in terms of r, it is an exponential function: ρ(r)=ρ0*e^(-r/h) A double integral in polar coordinates should do, but im not sure about the solution I get.

Hello, can someone help me to solve the following differential equation analitically: $$\frac{2 y''}{y'} - \frac{y'}{y} = \frac{x'}{x}$$ where ##y = y(t)## and ##x = x(t)## br Santiago

The integral is this one: ##\int (\dot x)^2 \, dt,## With ##x=x(t). ## I don't know how to solve that integral and I haven't find nothing to read about on how to proceed with this kind of (implicit function?) integrals without having the initial function.

Here I list my problem in the attachment.

I got the answer for this question but I was wondering about stepsize when it comes to a problem like this? Is there a way to change the step size? Would my step size change in line 20, or would it change in line 3? I tried changing line 3 to be t=0:100:17.1 but then I get a error message, so...

Can anyone explain to me why the second one is the right? (See the attachment)

##\iiint 3 dr d\rho d\phi## The volume of a sphere is ##4\pi /3 r^3## so naturally the answer is ##4 \pi R^3## But when I integrate I do: ##3 \iint r |_0^R d\rho d\phi## ##3R \int \rho |_0^{2\pi} d\phi## ##6R\pi * \phi |_0^\pi = 6R\pi^2## What am I doing wrong?

So it's basically a half circle with radius a. y = asin(t) $$\int_0^{\pi} asin(t) dt = -acos(t) |_0^{\pi} = 2a$$ The book says the answer is ##2a^2##, but maybe that's wrong?

I've always been taught that the indefinite integral of ##\frac{1}{x}## is ##\ln(|x|)##. Extending this to definite integrals, particularly over limits involving negative values, should work just like any other integral: $$\int_{-1}^{1} \frac {1} {x} dx = \ln(|-1|) - \ln(|1|) = \ln(1) - \ln(1)...

I'm looking for a general analytical solution to a particular ODE that comes up in neuroscience a lot. My feeling is that such a solution can't be obtained, otherwise someone would have presented it by now, but I don't have a good understanding of why it is so hard to solve. The equations as...

Does anyone know if it is possible to develop a fully analytical solution for a leaky integrate and fire neuron driven by arbitrary time-varying current? Here's what I have so far (setting as many possible constants to 0 and 1): The equations: ## \dot{V} = - V + I(t) ## and if ##V(t) = 1##...

I'm pretty confused here because after getting stuck on this problem, I tossed it into an integral calculator and it said the answer was 2 Si(x) + cos(x)/x + C. In intro calc we definitely haven't learned the Si(x) function or even gotten to any of the Taylor polynomial stuff yet. I tried IBP...

I'd like to integrate a function over a closed circle-like contour around an arbitrary point on a torus and I assume I would use the expression: $$ \int_{t_1}^{t_2} f(x,y,z) \sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2+z'(t)^2}dt$$ And I cannot come up with an explicit parameterization of the variables in terms of...

I'm working on a guitar amp distortion emulation which is waveshaping based on the following equation: f(x)= x/|x| * tanh (c * |x|^b) This looks like this: So the idea is values of "x" (the raw guitar signal amplitudes) are fed in and get soft then hard limited to an output of y=+/-1. As...

Hi PF! I'm doing several operations involving integrating Legendre polynomials. Since I am trying to loop through, my approach is something like N = 5; a = 0.5; x =linspace(-1,1,100); for k=1:N v(:,k) = legendreP(k+1,x)-legendreP(k+1,a)/legendreP(1,a)*legendreP(1,x); end% for j where I...

I want to integrate this: \int_0^∞ re^{-\frac{1}{2σ^2} (r-iσ^2q)^2} \, dr. If I change the variable r into t with this relation:r-iσ^2q=t, then the integral becomes\int_{-iσ^2q}^∞ (t+iσ^2q)e^{-\frac{1}{2σ^2} t^2} \, dt so it seems I cannot use the famous gaussian integral formula. But I got the...
