Do you like Bertrand Russell too? I like his paradox very much! hehe...

#1302 Re: Help Me ! » Solving this DE (trigonometry) » 2006-05-05 14:02:40

Hey, I know how to solve it now, too!
The keys are
a) the derivative of cos²(x) is -2cos(x)sin(x)
b)

Your question is so inspiring!  I used to think this kinda trig and derivative mix is my last-to-solve.

#1303 Re: Introductions » Hello » 2006-05-05 13:45:30

Do you need to master special solutions to all types of DEs? Frankly, I find solving a DE manually is not a good idea.
for PDEs, I think there are virtually no manual solutions. We have to count on computing softwares.

#1304 Re: Introductions » hello =) » 2006-05-05 00:51:10

It's really great to have someone knowing how to solve hard integrals to join!

#1305 Re: Introductions » Hello » 2006-05-05 00:48:44

even bio major need to know DE now...... IT CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!

#1306 Re: Help Me ! » Solving Radical Equations » 2006-05-05 00:45:16

2x(x+7)-x(x+3) = x²-1
x(2x+14-x-3)=x²-1
11x=-1
x=-1/11

#1307 Re: Help Me ! » Curve Sketching » 2006-05-04 15:52:02

Yes, but a trick will solve the controversy
devide the original curve or function into such pieces  that in each piece x and y are one by one, use my procedure seperately and then stick the pieces by original sequence.

#1308 Re: Help Me ! » Solving this DE (trigonometry) » 2006-05-04 15:47:16

I've written the proof or the derivation in post 3, following Ricky's fomula, so you can check my procedure and simply duplicate it before showing the formula. And that will make your solution complete.

#1309 Re: Help Me ! » Math class is boring!!! » 2006-05-03 03:02:32

Your teacher may have challenged you TOO MUCH!!

i am poor in algebra, too

#1310 Re: Help Me ! » Curve Sketching » 2006-05-03 02:58:54

Compare y=f(ax[sub]2[/sub]) and y=f(x)
when the two y equals, usually the value in the bracket equals.
ax[sub]2[/sub]=x
thus x[sub]2[/sub]=x/a

#1311 Re: Help Me ! » Surface Integral Question » 2006-05-03 02:52:31

z=0, 0<x<2, 0<y<4
z=5, 0<x<2, 0<y<4
......

#1312 Re: Help Me ! » a bit of stats and integration question » 2006-05-03 02:47:11



CDF(median)=1/2
CDF(lower quatile)=1/4
CDF(upper quatile)=3/4
-you can solve the three using the expression of CDF yourself now:D

#1313 Re: Help Me ! » Integration by parts......PLEASE HELP » 2006-05-01 02:22:06

Ricky, I guess you've misunderstood him. tongue

#1314 Re: This is Cool » Proof the derivative of x^n = nx^(n-1) » 2006-05-01 01:47:47

Yeah, your proof is restricted to the base nonnegative, while the proof by binomial expension is restricted to exponent natural numbers.

#1315 Re: Help Me ! » a bit of stats and integration question » 2006-05-01 01:43:05

You've got a wrong problem
Total probability (integral of PDF from -4 to 4) is infinite because ln0=-∞ .
That contradicts the rule that total probability is 1.

#1316 Re: Help Me ! » Finding the derivative » 2006-04-27 02:54:17

It depends on whether y is defined as nonnegtive or nonpositive. In either case, you can solve y explicitly and substitude y with the expression in the solution, and get a global solution on a certain domain.

Or, you already know the point (x[sub]0[/sub],y[sub]0[/sub]), and you want to find the tangent slope at it, you will easily get a local solution.

By the way,

d(a[sup]k[/sup])/dk = k a[sup]k-1[/sup]

#1318 Re: Help Me ! » Finding the derivative » 2006-04-25 14:19:44

(sin^2(2x))^2-That's just one way.

[sin²(2x)²]'=2sin²(2x) [sin²(2x)]'=2sin²(2x) 2sin(2x)[sin(2x)]'

=4sin³(2x)cos(2x)[2x]'=4sin³(2x)cos(2x)2=8sin³(2x)cos(2x)

#1320 Re: Help Me ! » m does not divide n, m^2 does not divide n^2 » 2006-04-22 15:48:06

you just need to factor m and n into products of prime numbers.
m= p[sub]1[/sub][sup]i1[/sup] p[sub]2[/sub][sup]i2[/sup]... p[sub]l[/sub][sup]il[/sup]
n= q[sub]1[/sub][sup]j1[/sup] q[sub]2[/sub][sup]j2[/sup] ... q[sub]k[/sub][sup]jk[/sup]
m²=...
n²= ...
compare the two sets above, latter will contain former.and then take square roots

#1321 Re: Introductions » Hi there » 2006-04-21 11:41:15

How hard? exploring radioactiveness? Using quatum theory? or discovering Nanotech?

#1322 Re: This is Cool » The 'nh' Theorem » 2006-04-20 16:33:06

Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

#1323 Re: This is Cool » Infinity » 2006-04-20 14:23:09

Okay, I agree since countable sets are such defined.

#1324 Re: This is Cool » The 'nh' Theorem » 2006-04-20 14:21:53

I have both bad news and good news for you.

bad news is-your theorem has already exist. in differential equation field, there is a similar formula called Euler's Method to evaluate f(x+a), given f'(x+t) 0<t<a and f(x).

Still Congratulations! You have your Own Thought and  Creativity.

Keep this thinking habit and Eventually you'll break a point in some field!

But serious, what are you talking about George?

the point and assumption you use is that since before 2,2,2.... there are infinite numbers (or elements) of 1,  2 can not exist in the set.

By same argument, I would say 2 in R set cannot have the chance to appear, for there are perhaps even more numbers ahead of it, and most of all you cannot find the number exactly ahead of 2.
