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.

What is calculus in terms of Maths?

Calculus is basically a way of calculating rates of changes (similar to slopes, but called derivatives in calculus), and areas, volumes, and surface areas (starters).

It's easy to calculate these kind of things with algebra and geometry if the shapes you're interested in are simple. For example, if you have a straight line you can claculate the slope easily. But if you want to know the slope at an arbitary point (any random point) on the graph of some function like x-squared or some other polynomial, than you would need to use calculus. In this case, calculus gives you a way of "zooming in" on the point you're interested in to find the slope EXACTLY at that point. This is called a derivative. If you have a cube or a sphere, you can calculate the volume and surface area easily. If you have an odd shape, you need to use calculus. You use calculus to make an infinite number of really small slices of the object you're interested in, determine the sizes of the slices, and then add all those slices up. This process is called integration. It turns out that integration is the reverse of derivation (finding a derivative). In summary, calculus is a tool that lets you do calclations with complicated curves, shapes, etc., that you would normally not be able to do with just algebra and geometry.

How does the graph of y equals 3x2-5 compare with the graph of y equals 3x2 plus 8?

The figures are exactly the same, but every point on the first graph

is exactly 13 below the corresponding point on the second one.

9x plus 8 equals 4x plus 23 x equals?

9x + 8 = 4x + 23

Subtract 8 from both sides

9x = 4x + 15

Subtract 4x from both sides

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5

x = 3

What is answer x plus y equals 4?

This is a linear equation in two variables and the coordinates of each and every point on the line that it describes is a solution.

A single linear equation does not have an "answer".

What is -8t - 11x?

It is a linear expression in two variables.

As an expression it cannot be solved. Furthermore, to solve equations in two variables you need at least two linear equations.

What are the 4 letters with an x?

Perhaps you mean words with an x? axe, ox, sex, extreme, extra, extract, six.

What is relation between focal length and radius of curvature in lenses?

The Center of curvature is 2 times the focal length.

By the way this is a physics question.

How many 4 number combinations are there using numbers 0-9 with a sum of 18?

There are two ambiguities in this question. First, the numbers 0 through 9 could mean integers or real numbers. If you meant real numbers the answer is infinite, so I presume you mean integers. More to the point, it depends on whether you are only counting combinations of 4 different numbers or allowing duplications (like 4, 4, 5, 5).

How do you make 68 percent into a fraction in simplest form?

68% means 68/100

68/100

factor out a 4

4*17/4*25

as 4 appears in both numerator and denominator as a factor it can be canceled

17/25

What is ten miles in kilometres?

1 mile = 1609 meters = 1.609 km

thus 10 miles = 16.09 km

What is the Derivative of sine ex?

The derivative of sin (x) is cos (x). It does not work the other way around, though. The derivative of cos (x) is -sin (x).

-8x plus 4y equals 64?

This can't be solved. You have two varibles.

What numbers can be divided into 1890?

The number 1890 can be divided into 6 differently numbers which are

1) 945X2

2) 210X9

3) 105X18

4) 135X14

5) 1890X1

6) 21X90

How do you solve y for y plus 2 equals 5?

subtract 2 from both sides 2 and 5 then youll get the answer

How do you graph -7x plus 7y equals -49?

First you might want to divide both sides by 7 so you have

-x+y=-7

Now you can write this as y=x-7

So the graph is a line with slope 1 and y intercept -7.

To graph it, place a point ( a dot) at (0,-7) Now to find the next point go up one unit and over to the right one unit. Connect the dots and you have the desired line.
