Calculus

The branch of mathematics that deals with the study of continuously changing quantities, with the use of limits and the differentiation and integration of functions of one or more variables, is called Calculus. Calculus analyzes aspects of change in processes or systems that can be modeled by functions. The English physicist, Isaac Newton, and the German mathematician, G. W. Leibniz, working independently, developed calculus during the 17th century.

Why is there one million cubic centimeter in a cubic meter?

Because we muliply the three sides of a cube of one meter length x 3. =1000x1000x1000=1,000,000

3x 7 formula plz?

You don't use a "formula" to multiply numbers. You just go ahead and multiply them.

How do you accurately graph y -x2 8x 5 as a parabola?

There are two (main) ways to graph this parabola.

The first is to simply substitute in values of x, find the corresponding y values and then plot those points and connect the points with a curve.

The second way is to 'complete the square' so that we can find where the maximum or minimum occurs and the y-intercept and graph from those two points. This is the process described below.

y = -x2 + 8x + 5

y = -(x2 - 8x) + 5

y = -(x2 - 8x + 16 - 16) + 5

y = -(x2 - 8x + 16) + 16 + 5

y = -(x-4)2 + 21

From this we can see that a maximum occurs at (4,21). To find the y-intercept, substitute in x=0, giving y=5.

From these two points, we get a pretty good idea of what the graph looks like. If you want more accuracy, substitute in more values of x.

What is the definition of a continuous function?

Intuitively, a continuous function y = f(x) is one where small changes in x result in small changes in y.

More rigorously, consider the function y = f(x) defined on the domain D to the codomain C where both D and C are subsets of R.

Then f(x) is continuous at a point p in D if the limit of f(x) as x approaches p within D is f(p).

The function is said to be continuous is it is continuous at every point in its domain.

The domain and codomain of f can be extended to multiple dimensions provided a suitable metric (eg Pythagorean distance) is used.

How is five feet equal to 1.524 meters?

IF you use 39.37 inches to a meter (pretty close), there are 60 inches in 5 feet. 60/39.37 = 1.524003048 meters

What is x2-5x-6 equals 0?

X2 - 5X - 6 = 0

What two factor of - 6 add up to - 5 ??

(X + 1)(X - 6)

So,

X = - 1

2x plus 5y equals 10 find slop and y-intercept?

2x + 5y = 10

Subtract 2x from each side:

5y = -2x + 10

Divide each side by 5:

y = - (2/5)x + 2

Slop = - (2/5)

Y-intercept = 2

6 plus 7x equals -36?

6 + 7x = -36

first, subtract 6 from both sides

7x = -42

then, divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = -42/7

x = -6

to check, put -6 back into the original equation:

6 + (7 x -6) = -36

6 - 42 = -36

How do you solve y plus y equals 10?

You have to recognize that " y plus y " is the same as " 2y ".

This wouldn't be any problem if it was "house plus house" or "dog plus dog" ... you'd know

right away that it was "two houses" or "two dogs". But for some reason, a lot of people get

scared when they see " y plus y ", and totally freeze up.

y + y = 10

2y = 10

Divide each side by 2:

y = 5

Solution set for 4x2-6 equals 2x2?

Reading this as:

4x2-6=2x2

This implies that:

-6=-2x2

3=x2

x=sqrt(3) and x=-sqrt(3)

So x can equal plus or minus the square root of 3

How do you graph the equation y equals -x?

First, you look at the equation long enough to recognize that it's the equation

of a straight line with [ slope = 1 ] and [ y-intercept = 0 ].

Then you draw that line. It passes through the origin, and slopes up toward the

right at 45 degrees.

As another technique, you could use the equation to calculate two points on the line,

then mark the points on the graph, and draw a line between them.

To calculate two points, choose two values for 'x', and then calculate the value

of 'y' for each one.

Let's just pick two numbers out of the blue for 'x':

x = 2 and x = 9 .

Can you use the equation [ y = x ] to calculate the value of 'y' that goes with each one ?

That's right. Good work. When x=2, 'y' is also 2. And when x=9, 'y' is also 9.

So now you have two points on the graph ... (2, 2) and (9, 9).

Using a soft pencil, mark each of those two points on your graph with a small dot.

Then, using the same pencil along with a ruler, draw a line that connects the two

dots. You can extend the line as far as you want to, past either point, in either direction.

How do you rewrite and solve for y 2x less than y plus 7?

your equation is this...

2x < y + 7

Now solve for y...

2x - 7 < y

Since you have two variable the most you can get out of (y) is the graph and the y-intercept.

the y-intercept is y > -7

What is 5x-10 equals 3x plus 2?

5x - 10 = 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2 + 10

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6
