Single-variable function

A robot is guided towards an object by a software algorithm that controls its position such that the path of the robot is approximately sinusoidal, with a period 2, as shown in Figure B4 (attached). (a) Show that the length l of any single-variable function f(x), between the limits of x=a and b, can be expressed by th ...continues

Differentiation/graphs

I have two problems (well, one problem with three parts and another one): 1. (a) Let f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, a does not equal zero, be a quadratic polynomial. How many points of inflection does the graph of f have? (b)Let f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, a does not equal zero, be a cubic polynomial. How many points of inflection does the grap ...continues

Compound Interest Problems

If the tuition at a certain college is determined to cost $ 32000 in 10 years, how large must a trust fund that pays 7.5% compounded continuously be, in order for a child on her 8th birthday to ensure sufficient funds at age 18?

Evaluate an indefinite integral.

Evaluate the indefinite integral: (x^2+2x-3)/(x^4)

Using the mean value theorem to prove the acceleration at a specific moment in time.

At 2:00 pm a car's speedometer reads 30 mi/h. At 2:10 pm it reads 50 mi/h. Use the mean value theorem to show that at some time between 2:00 and 2:10 the acceleration is exactly 120 mi/h^2. Please show line by line work and be as clear as possible.

Maximizing the area of a rectangle.

Find the dimensions of the rectangle of the largest area that has its base on the x axis and its other two vertices above the x axis and lying on the parabola y=8-x^2.

Working with position functions using acceleration and velocity.

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. It's acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t)=60t at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a free falling body. After 17 seconds, the rocket's parachute opens and the velocity slows linearly to -18 ft/sec in 5 seconds. The rocket then floats to the ground ...continues

Working with differential equations.

Solve (1-x^2)^(1/2)y'+1+y^2=0 xy(1+x^2)y'-(1+y^2)=0 xyy'=1+x^2+y^2+x^2y^2 sinx(e^y + 1)dx=e^y(1+cosx)dy, Y(0)=0
