    Calculating Factorials in a Series: Exploring the First Six Terms

    Ok, so here goes nothing I have predict what this is in series form, the factorial in the numerator is really throwing me off. I only have to do the series for the first six terms. C0=C0 C2= -5/2 C0 C4= -3/4 C2 = (5x3)/(2x4) C0 C6= -1/6 C4 = -(5x3x1)/(2x4x6) C0 This is what I have so far...

    Block sliding on the inside of a cone

    \|/_ the | between the \/ represents the Z axis. The underscore represents the R axis and the angle between |/ is Alpha, Like you said tan(alpha)=r/z. Phi is the angle of where the block is located inside of the cone, and it can be integrated from 0 to 2Pi to find the location of the block...

    Block sliding on the inside of a cone

    Okay i'll try to explain the setup I did as well as I can \|/_ the | between the \/ represents the Z axis. The underscore represents the R axis and the angle between |/ is Phi. Does that help explain my setup at all? I'm trying to make it as clear as possible..

    Block sliding on the inside of a cone

    Hello there, this is my first posting on this board. I am a third year physics major and I've taken a lot of courses but I've always just scraped by with a large amount of help from small groups. I'm thinking about reconsidering my major because I feel like I no longer can understand the...
