    Identifying matrices as REF, RREF, or neither

    TL;DR Summary: we are given a set of coefficient matrices (shown below) and we need to determine whether they are in REF, RREF, or neither. Hello! I am having a lot of trouble identifying these matrices, and using the criteria checklist is not helping very much. Here is what I am working with...

    Finding a definite integral from the Riemann sum

    Yes, I realized I was overcomplicating things. If I simplify (n+i)/n to (n/n +i/n) to (1+ i/n), I get f(x) = xlnx

    Identifying variables from Riemann sum limits

    forgot to answer ! thank you for your help @pasmith and @anuttarasammyak :) I separated the terms and got f(x)= x^2 + 1 xiR = 2i/n -> x^2 n is just the riemann sum of 1 -> +1 ∆x = 2/n xiR = a + i∆x = a + 2i/n = 2i/n so a = 0 and b = 2

    Finding a definite integral from the Riemann sum

    Hi! I am having trouble finalizing this problem. The interval is given so we know that a = 1 and b = 2. From there you can figure out that ∆x = 1/n, xiR = 1 + i/n. Using logarithmic properties, I rearranged the expression and wrote (1 + i/n)(1/n)ln[(n + i)/n]. I can guess that the function is...

    Identifying variables from Riemann sum limits

    Hi! I understand that this is an expanded Riemann sum but I'm having trouble determining its original form. I don't actually have any ideas as to how to find it, but I know that once I determine the original form of the Riemann sum, I will be able to figure out the values for a, b, and f. If...

    Evaluating minimum and maximum values with calculations

    Wait, would it be correct to divide the minimum distance by the maximum time then? Ohh it makes a bit more sense now, I see how that would produce a minimum speed

    Evaluating minimum and maximum values with calculations

    addition gives the smallest value.. so I'd essentially be using the maximum values to get a minimum value for speed? that's very weird haha

    Evaluating minimum and maximum values with calculations

    Hi! I know this may seem like a silly question but I really just want to make sure I understand this correctly. I've already calculated the minimum and maximum values for time and height: t min = 0.58 s t max = 0.68 s y min = 1.98 m y max = 2.02 m To calculate the minimum average speed, would...

    Acceleration required for ship to avoid crashing into another ship

    Hi! I'm so sorry for not responding, I was exhausted and I fell asleep. I'll try out some new equations with t and a as unknowns. Thank you!

    Acceleration required for ship to avoid crashing into another ship

    ∆x.k = v.k * ∆t = 20 * 3 = 60 ∆x.e = (v.k + v.ei)(∆t) / 2 = (20+50)(3) / 2 = 105 I'm confused, is my graph wrong? Shouldn't the ∆x of Enterprise be equal to 160 if its initial position is 0 and it's about to catch up with Klingon?

    Acceleration required for ship to avoid crashing into another ship

    I drew a x(t) graph to try to map out what was going on. I guessed that in order to just barely avoid the crash, the velocity of Enterprise (v.e) will have to decrease to match the velocity of Klingon (v.k). So v.e final = v.k Since we're looking for the acceleration, I used this formula: vf^2...

    Wind drag problem with a ball hanging on a rope

    I think I understood, thank you! so the drag would be equal to the x component of the tension.

    Wind drag problem with a ball hanging on a rope

    I drew a FBD but I feel like it's wrong because there are too many missing values. I tried this: Fy = 0 Tcosθ - Fg = 0 Tcosθ = mg T = (1.2)(9.8) / cos(25) T = 12.98 N Fx = ma Fwind - Tsinθ - Fdrag = ma Fwind - (12.98)(sin25) - Fdrag = ma I don't know how to find these missing values. I feel...

    Simplify this expression for the period

    tried that, and it worked, thank u ! what is that rule called though? I don't remember learning it

    Simplify this expression for the period

    hi ! I'm having a lot of trouble simplifying my expression for one of my homework questions. I know someone asked about this homework problem already, but the answers didn't really help me figure out how to simplify it.. I really have no idea what steps to take, and I've even consulted all my...
