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 origin of calculus?

In the 1660s, Isaac Newton developed Calculus to solve certain types of problems. At the same time Leibniz also developed calculus independently of Newton.

What can you multiply to get 51 and add to get 14?

51 > 0. Since the sum 14 is positive, the factors of 51 are both positive. The problem is that 51 = 3*17 and 3 + 17 = 20 ≠ 14.

But we are lucky that 14 = 7 + 7. So wee can use the difference of the squares such as (7 - A)(7 + A) = 49 - A2 = 51, where -A2 = 2 = -(i√2)2 .

Thus, the numbers are 7 - i√2 and 7 + i√2.

or algebraically,

x + y = 14; y = 14 - x

xy = 51

x(14 - x) = 51

-x2 +14x = 51

x2 -14x = -51

x2 -14x + 72 = -51 + 49

(x - 7)2 = -2

x - 7 = ± √-2

x = 7 ± i√2

Which is the best way to solve equation x equals k?

You cannot go beyond x = k unless you know the value of k. And in that case, the equation is solved so there is nothing further to do!

When do you start learning calculus?

It depends when you take the course. Some people take it their senior year in school or are not ready to take it until college. I took it my junior year in high school.

How do you graph -2x plus 8 14 or 3x plus 1 1?

======================================

Answer #2:

I'm guessing that the only symbol missing from the question is

the 'equals' ( = ) sign.

I think the question says that

-2x + 8 = 14 and 3x + 1 = 1 .The answer is: These are not graphable equations, because

neither describes how one number depends on another one.

" -2x + 8 = 14 " says simply that " x = -3".

And " 3x + 1 = 1 " only tells us that " x = 0".

There's nothing to be graphed in either statement.

What did Isaac Newton discover about the universe?

Newton discovered that masses in the Universe attract each other with a force F= mGM/r2.

How many diagonals are there in a polygon of 20 sides?

20 sides implies 20 corners.
To ask how many ways there are of connecting each corner with _every_ other corner is the same as asking how many ways you can choose two items from 20. There is a formula for calculating that number. However, we must omit 20 of these ways because are the sides of the polygon, not diagonals.


Hence, the number we seek is "20 choose 2" - 20 = 190 - 20 = 170


To calculate "20 choose 2" easily use

* * * * *

Convincing but wrong. Joining a vertex to either of the two adjoining vertices gives a side of the polygon, NOT a diagonal. So the number we seek is NOT 20 choose 2. What we want is 20 seek any of the 20-3 vertices (not itself and not the two adjacent ones). Next, the suggested method would count each diaginal twice - once from each end. So we need to divide the result by 2.

The correct answer for an n-gon is 0.5*n*(n-3)
When n = 20 this gives 0.5*20*17 = 170

3x - 6 equals 4?

3x - 6 = 4

Add 6 to each side :

3x = 10

Divide each side by 3 :

x = 10/3 = 3-1/3

If y equals 2x plus 1 and x equals 4y-2 what is the value of xy?

We have

y = 2x + 1 = 2(4y-2) + 1 = 8y - 3 iff 7y = 3 iff y = 3/7 iff x = 4y - 2 = 12/7 - 2 = -2/7

(using "iff" for the double-arrow "is equivalent to" symbol which my PC won't copy).

Thus xy = (-2/7)(3/7) = -6/7.

How do you find the function of a slope if you're given the graph and not the function?

If the graph is not a straight line, then it has different slopes at different points,

and there's no easy general way to measure it.

It's a lot easier if the graph is a straight line. Here's how to do it:

-- Mark off a section of the line, and ignore the rest of it.

-- Measure how much that part of the line rises from its left end to its right end.

That's the change in 'y'.

-- Measure how much of the 'x' axis that part of the line covers, from its left end

to its right end. That's the change in 'x'.

-- Divide (the change in 'y') by (the change in 'x').

The result of the division is the slope of the line.

14 plus x 21 solve for x?

The letter X in the equation 14 plus X21 would be 2.5. this is a math problem.
