Come on Forrest!
x=loga^N
.:N=a^x

so 2^5=3x-4
.:32=3x-4
.:36=3x
.:x=12

Hahaha i was on the right track with my absolute guess

okay whos got another question?

Find the turning points and determine their nature for y=sin(x-1) for 1<=x<=2pi+1

Find the turning points and determine their nature for y=sin(x-1) for 1<=x<=2pi+1

turning points of y=sin(x) are (π/2, 1) max, (3π/2, -1) min

the graph of y=sin(x-1) is a translation of the graph of y=sinx to the right by one unit

therefore turning points of y=sin(x-1) are (π/2+1, 1) max and (3π/2+1, -1) min

Integrate the function 1 + 3x - 5x² + 2x³ + x⁴ from 0 to 2 using the Simpson's 1/3 rule with 4 segments.

Answer:

9.0833

mrhorseham · Oct 21, 2009

i think i screwed up that integration...

can some1 show me how to do it?

i)cosA=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/2bc

cosA=(49+64-169)/(112)

cosA=-1/2

Quadrant 1/ A=60 degrees

Since cos is negative in Q II and III,

Quadrant 2, A=120 degrees

Quadrant 3, A=240 degrees (disregard due to angle orientation)

Therefore A=120 degrees

ii) A=(1/2)(56)sin120=28 x (rt3/2)= 14rt3 cm squared

find the maximum area of a rectangle restricted within an equilateral triangle

A man shooter usually hits a bulls-eye 80% of the time.
how many times must he fire his pistol in order that the probability of getting at least one bulls-eye exceeds 0.999?

Here's an easier question (that I can't solve): Water flows into and out of a tank at a rate (in litres/hour) given by R = 2 pie sin(pie t). If the tank is initially empty at 10am, find the first time (after 10am) when the tank is filling at its greatest rate. The answer is 10:30am. Help, please?

R= 2pi sin pi.tdR/dt = 2cos pi. t , find st. pts:2cos pi.t = 0 , pi.t = pi/2, 3pi/2 , t= 1/2, 3/2 .... d^2R/dt^2 = -2/pi sin pi.t , test t= 1/2 (they asked for the earliest time)turns out to be a maximum. therefore it will be filling up at its greatest rate. t is in hours so t= 1/2 is half an hour , add that to 10am and you have 10:30am

taggs-sasuke · Oct 24, 2009

Thank you raniaaa! I had R = 0 (because R = dV/dt, right?). But it makes sense to use dR/dt = 0. Oh, and it's pi, not pie. Whoops. Haha.

"A man shooter usually hits a bulls-eye 80% of the time. how many times must he fire his pistol in order that the probability of getting at least one bulls-eye exceeds 0.999?"P(bullseye)=0.8P(atleast one bullseye) = 1-P(no bullseye)therefore 1-(0.2)^n=0.999(0.2)^n=(1-0.999)n=ln(1-0.999)/ln(0.2) Don't have calculator within arms reach lol
Edit: have no idea why its all appearing in one line

$\text {If } x=\text{sin}[y],\text { find }\frac{dx}{dy}\\\text{Hence find the derivative of } y=\text{sin}^{-1}x \text{ in terms of } x^2$ this may not explicitly be 2 unit work, but it uses 2 unit concepts
