    Calculus Michael Spivak 3th ed. Pag 46: Function as a rule

    Pag 46 says: He begins to do a rethink about what is a function. Function is a rule? If it is a rule then: f(x) = x² and f(x) = x² +3x + 3 -3(x+1) are different. But that was not what we wanted. But he rewrites, this way: f(x) = x² and f(x) = x² +3x +3 -c(x+1) Apparently this was a small...

    You are right. Misinterpreted. Thank you.

    Calculus Michael Spivak 3th Edition Pag 42 Rational Function

    Pag 42 says: Seems inconsistent. in (9): p = x +x²+x.sin²x q = x.sin x + x.sin²x But by definition p and q are not polynomial functions. It is a mistake in the book?

    I think I have a weak formal education in mathematics

    For example: $$ y^{2} = 25- x^{2} $$ $$ y = \sqrt{25- x^{2}} , -5\leq x\leq 5 $$ This part: $$ , -5\leq x\leq 5 $$ What is the name of this?If it were a function, it would be the domain. And for equations, and resolutions of equations, what is the name? Other example, the equation: xy = 1...

    Tenenbaum & Pollard Pages 53-54: Apparently does not make sense

    Thank You! The solution: $$ \sqrt{1-x^{2}} - 2\sqrt{1-y} = C $$ Results: $$ y = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{C\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{2} - \frac{C^{2}}{4} $$ (in your solution, yourC = C/2) Matlab Code x = linspace(-1,1,1000); clf; grid on; hold on; c=0; y=3/4+(x.^2)/4...

    Tenenbaum & Pollard Pages 53-54: Apparently does not make sense

    Yes, if the dy/dx go to ∞ when x go to 1, then i guess in particular solution this should be the trend. It is as if the particular solution and differential equation were conflicting. Imagine that someone will draw the solution curves, from the dy / dx, at each point, does not match the...

    Tenenbaum & Pollard Pages 53-54: Apparently does not make sense

    Hi. I'm reading the bookhttp://amzn.com/0486649407 , in self-study mode. In page 53 and 54, below: Apparently does not make sense, because, If the differential equation is: $$ \frac{\mathrm{d}y }{\mathrm{d} x} = x\frac{\sqrt{1-y}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} $$ then dy/dx = ∞ when x = 1, and y < 0...

    If f = 0, then df/dt=0, but ∂f/∂x≠0

    Suppose a function f (t) = 0 x (t) -y (t) = 0 with x = t y = t df/dt = 0 However ∂f/∂x = 1 This case may seem obvious to most of the regulars this forum, but took me by surprise when I was reading a math book that I needed to "derive from both sides" (I assumed that as a side was zero, or other...

    Transfer function=Laplace of the impulse response?

    First I tried to find a way to understand why H (s) is the Laplace of impulse response. The first thing I thought was that I should start by the convolution of x and h. Then you answered me in a way, and a few hours later I saw this on a website: $$ \mathcal {L} \{x (t) \ast h (t) \} =...

    Transfer function=Laplace of the impulse response?

    Another way: $$ y(t) = x(t) \ast h(t) $$ $$ \mathcal{L}\{y(t)\} = \mathcal{L}\{x(t) \ast h(t)\} $$ $$ \mathcal{L}\{y(t)\} = \mathcal{L}\{x(t)\}\mathcal{L}\{h(t)\} $$ $$ Y(s) = H(s)X(s) $$

    Transfer function=Laplace of the impulse response?

    I saw in some books, that: Y(s)/X(s) = H(s) where, Y(s) is the laplace of the output X(s) is the laplace of the input H(s) is the laplace of impulse response. How to prove it? In the book Benjamin Kuo, he only mentions it without proof, and did not find it in the book of Oppennheim.

    When ζ is negative, Mr ceases to have any meaning? (Book Benjamin Kuo)

    For a sinusoidal input, the amplitude is the same as it would if ζ were positive, so the maximum is the same. And the angle is the same, but negative. I think that's it.

    When ζ is negative, Mr ceases to have any meaning? (Book Benjamin Kuo)

    In the book Automatic Control Systems, Benjamin C.Kuo, 7th edition, on page 548, he says: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/720x154q90/540/ML8zmu.jpg He is doing an analysis of the following transfer function: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img911/4839/XPKxoO.gif Mr is the maximum value...

    Why not just use B rather than dB?

    Hi, My question is very simple but I have not found on google. Why Decibel unit employs Deci? I know Deci = 0.1, but why not just use B rather than dB? Is there some historical reason? Thank you, enjoyed the forum, it is my first post.
