Just need someone to check my work. Thank you for your time. First time doing a 5 input Kmap. Determine the following 5 input Karnaugh map for function f(V,W,Z,Y,Z) determine the minimal SOP equation. NOTE: (WX are the variables associated with the top column, and YZ are the variables...

Homework Statement given f(x,y)=9/(x+y) find a level surface. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution g(x,y,z)=f(x,y)-z=0? g(x,y,z)=9/(x+y) -z=0? That answer is wrong. Apparently i must have the following: g(x,y,z)=z(x+y)=9 How do I solve problems like these? Another...

My textbook says that in a voltage divider (voltage source Vin, then a resistor, then another path that leads to Vout, Resistor two, Ground, that it is a bad idea to use variable resistors for BOTH of the resistors (but it is okay if you just do one or the other). Does anybody know why?

It seems to me to follow from the definition of a partial derivative. If f(x,y) = fx + fy, then what else can Δf be other than ∂f/∂x*Δx + ∂f/∂y*Δy? Then in the limiting case, the changes in f, x and y becomes differentials instead. All this seems to be given by the definitions themselves, is...

Hi all, Something has been troubling me. To begin with, I have never been certain about this concept of 'extrinsic' thermodynamic variables. I mean, they don't have to be linear with system size, right? They just need to increase with system size? And also, I have a specific 'example problem'...

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with a probability question. The question is Let X be a normal random variable with mean \mu and variance \sigma^{2}. Find E[(X -\mu)^{k}] for all k = 1,2,... I'm not really sure what to do and need some help to confirm how to approach the question...

Hi all, I would like to clarify regarding valid variable names. Well what I fairly understand are the rules regarding names.. What I am unsure about is -- in a test, is there any way to spot a reserved name? For example to make things difficult, trick question, sometimes the question will...

I was stuck on a question and went back to look at an example but couldn't understand the example. It has (y-x)dx +4xy dy = 0 is linear in y because it can be written as 4xy'+y=x First of all what are dx and dy doing in the equation? They look to be from the end of an integral. Second, how did...

Homework Statement The linear mass density in a string is given by μ = μ0[1 + cos(x/R)] where R is a constant. If one averages this density over the large size L it becomes uniform: <μ> = μ0, where <…> means averaging. What is the minimum size L (in terms of R) such that the density can be...

I'm having trouble finding any sources that discuss equations of motion that take into account a changing moment of inertia. Just looking at the scaler case, angular momentum is L = I\omega Then, according to the 2nd law, \tau = \frac{d}{dt}(L) = \dot{I}\omega + I\alpha Is this correct...

Hey, I am an undergraduate physics & astronomy student. I am looking for a good research topic to work on for this semester. I have access to a .5 m telescope in Louisville, Ky (38 deg N), a .5 m telescope, and possibly another with a built in spectroscopy as well as photometry capabilities...

hi PF I read the no-go Kochen theorem using 18 vectors projection (here). One attribute a value to an observable A: v(A) This function is supposed to be linear and verify v(AB) = v(A) v(B) so v(AB - BA) = v(A)v(B) - v(B)v(A) = 0 (v is a real number function) v must assign v(id) = 1 because v(A...

I'm wondering what the difference is between a VFD and servo drive are. I'm pretty familiar with VFDs but not so much with servo drives. From what I read, would the following assumptions be correct? A variable frequency drive without an encoder module will adjust the frequency and amplitude...

Hello, the question I have arises from the 4th Edition of the book "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" written by K.A. Stroud. For those who owns the book, it is the example #2 starting at page 379. More precisely, the example is separated into two parts but the first one is very straight...

We know that in Schrodinger equation, Ψ is called wave function, which is not observable, while Ψ·Ψ* is the probability, which is observable. can we rewirte the Schrodinger equation to a form without Ψ but only Ψ·Ψ*? because I think, in this way can I figure out all conservations in the...

We have the following trapezoid: The question is to find the length of the fourth side when the area of trapezoid is maximized. I realize we will not be able to find a numerical value for the fourth side due to the given information (rather, lack thereof). So we are essentially going have...

Hey guys, I have a question for you... how would one go about solving an equation like this... or this... This came across my mind the other day. I was wondering how to solve that equation if the function is of t-1, instead of t. Obviously, if it was f(t), the solution would be Ce^t, but I was...

Homework Statement 1/x - 1/a = 1/b Solve for x Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I used to be able to do this in high school, but now I am 43! Normally, I would just cross-multiply and solve for x, to get the x out of the denominator, but you cannot...

Hi, I'm an economics graduate student doing some work on a nested logit model. I am trying to generate random variables that follow the following CDF: F(x_1, x_2) =\textrm{exp}[ -(e^{-2x_1}+e^{-2x_2}) ^{1/2}] (This is an extreme-value distribution) With a single random variable, I...

Hello all, In the equation V= apd/Ln(pd)+b as described by Paschens law regarding breakdown voltage, I was wondering what the "L" and the "n" stood for. Example of what I'm looking for: p stands for pressure. Thanks.

Hello folks, I'm being tricked by the pesky friction force again. I know that static friction acts just to put everything in equilibrium as long as its magnitude doesn't exceed a certain value. That is ok. But when there are other adjustable force such as TENSION and NORMAL, (which in this...

If one has a simple variable coefficient process like y'(t) = r(t)*y(t), is there a way to control it to a set point by feedback hitting the variable coefficients in r(t)? I am interested in feedback control of population processes. y'(t) = r*y(t) is simple proportional growth with a...

I remember learning at one point that you can put some sort of symbol on top or near a variable to indicate that it is being held constant. I thought that it was just a bar drawn above the variable but in some cases, it means "the average of." Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Homework Statement f(x,y) = (x-y) / (x+y) Calculate Δf and df for the change of point (3,2) to point (3.2, 2.1) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I guess that I have to use limits, but don't know how to begin with.

How do you make a differential equation for such? Say for example. I have two reactions in series, A → R and R → S going in a gas-phase reaction. If I'm correct, the ODE for the conversion of A is dXA/dt = kA*[(NAo/vo)*(1-XA)/(1+δA*YAo*XA)]*[(vo/NAo)*(1+δA*YAo*XA)]. I don't know now...
