    What are Some Good Books to Review Calculus Concepts for Differential Equations?

    Anyone know of a good book that reviews all the concepts needed for DE from Calc and before?

    Showing that a three-dimensional vector field is conservative

    So then what do you do from there? f_z = 2xz + g_z and we know that f_z = 2xz so that g_z = 0 and g = h(y), is that right? That would give the right answer.

    Showing that a three-dimensional vector field is conservative

    Hold on, I'm trying to fix what I typed, as it doesn't match my paper here... alright, fixing the first thing fixed the second thing, so now this reflects how I did the problem.

    Showing that a three-dimensional vector field is conservative

    Alright, so the field is \mathbf{F} = (z^2 + 2xy,x^2,2xz) it's a gradient only when f_x = z^2 + 2xy, f_y = x^2 and f_z = 2xz integrate the first equation with respect to x to get f(x,y,z) = \int z^2 +2xy\,dx = xz^2 + x^2y + g(y,z) now, f_z(x,y,z) = g_z(y,x) which is 2xz integrate that with...

    What is the natural frequency for a child's swing with 2.00 m long chains?

    Please help me with this, it's one of the 'basic' problems and I can't do it at all. "The chains suspending a child's swing are 2.00 m long. At what frequency should a big brother push to make the child swing with largest amplitude?" Okay, so... the largest amplitude comes with a natural...

    Maximizing Efficiency: Applying Calculus to Business Models

    Umm, that is the only project. 22 out of the 29 kids in the class have decided to do the project over the final, so they all picked something. http://www.math.usf.edu/mug/structure01.htm" . I haven't looked over the previous projects yet, and I see now that there are several completely retarded...

    Maximizing Efficiency: Applying Calculus to Business Models

    So I got my calc 2 final this week, and I'm doing it in leau of doing a calculus project. In case I fail the test too hard, I'd like to see if I can get a project done before the semester ends. The project involves going out and finding a business that could use calculus to make something...

    Connected masses, friction enabled

    For m1, T - fk1 = SigmaF1. SigmaF1 = m1 * a. T - 11.8N = 12.0kg * 1.29m/s^2, T = 27.28 or 27.3N which is almost right... did I do that correctly and I just rounded too early, or is that just a coincidence?

    Force and Coefficient of Friction Problem

    Normal force would be the ground acting against the shovel, else the shovel would push the ground down.

    Connected masses, friction enabled

    Thanks for the response. For m1, I have fk1 with a horizontal negative force, T with a horizontal positive force, n1 and m1g opposite and equal. For m2 I have fk2 and T horizontal negative, F horizontal positive, and n2 and m2g opposite and equal. The tension for both of those is equal... and...

    Connected masses, friction enabled

    Two blocks connected by a rope of negligible mass are being dragged by a horizontal force F. F = 68.0N, m1 = 12.0kg, m2 = 18.0kg, and coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.100. I need the tension of the rope and the acceleration of the system...

    Tangential and Radial Acceleration

    A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, slowing from 90.0 km/h to 50.0 km/h in the 15.0 s that it takes to round the bend. The radius of the curve is 150 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 50.0 km/h. Assume it continues to slow down at this time at...
