    Need help: integration by substitution.

    Hello all, how are you? we are currently working on integration by substitution, what do you guys think about the way i solved this one: Find: \int \frac{(t+1)^2}{t^2} dt My solution: \int \frac{(t+1)^2}{t^2} dt = \int 1dt + \int \frac{2}{t} dt + \int \frac{1}{t^2} dt = t +...

    Solving Definite Integral Problem with Density Function f(x) = 2e^(-0.25x)

    Daniel, yeah thanks for the code... i meant k\int_{0}^{3} e^{-0.25 x}{}dx =1 HallsofIvy, Uh... Thats the same word from the problem in the book... and yes, thats the integral from 0 to 3... I am not sure I know about the total integral... Sorry about the confusion.

    Solving Definite Integral Problem with Density Function f(x) = 2e^(-0.25x)

    Hello, Okay so I was given a density function: f(x) = 2e^(-0.25x) The problem asks for the value of Pr(X < or = 3) I first figured out the probability density function first by let \int (3,0) k.25e^(-.25x) = 1 And figured out that k = .45 and continue solving my...

    Is there a connection between ice cream and evolution?

    Oh hello This's just strange. We did a small project "Making ice-cream" You know, put milk and sugar and vanilla into a zimploc, place the pack into a bigger one stuffed with ice and salt. We've luckily gone through the questions he asked. But the last question just doesn't make sense to me...

    People who can let electricity flows through their bodies

    Well, I've heard about some people who can let electricity flows through their bodies without any serious damage. Is there any sciebtific reason or theory for this? Is that the resistance f them 0 or nearly so? What do you think?
