My math teacher is out to destroy me - help, pretty please!

...uhm...maybe the Egyptology department can help you with those arcane symbols... :D

*snerk*

If you still haven't got this solved by 10pm GMT I'll ask my smarty-pants fiance if he can do it :)
He's out till then.

I think I know the answer to the red question - it's

h(x) = 5(x2 + 3x)(2x+3)4,

with the red numbers in superscript, right?

looks good to me....but it's been 24 years since I did this shit.....

Svenskaflicka, I can't help with the problems but I think you would have to include the steps needed to get to the answers and UNDERSTAND them.

Especially if the Maths teacher is that picky.

I hope someone can explain the answers in detail.

She got the last one.....it's pretty straightforward....

But I agree on the the ingrals of rational functions and indefinite integrals, that the prick will want to see everything.....


(I never found anything rational about rational functions...)
 
Rational functions are perfectly rational.

Most human beings aren't perfectly rational and so have a lot of trouble with rational functions.
 
why the fuck am I thinking about this shit......*sigh*



the first one:



the integral of sin 2x dx = 1/2 sin 2x(2dx) = -1/2cos2x + C

My theory is that he hates me because I pointed out a few faults he made during class...

SOME math problems I'm good at, these are greek.
 
With the integrals, I did like this:

f(x) = sin 2x, then F(x) should be -cos x^2 == -cos (pi/2)^2 + cos (0) = -0,999 + 1 = 0,001;

and

f(x) = cos 2x, then F(x) should be sin x^2 == sin (pi/2)^2 - sin (pi/4)^2 = 7,51-1,87 ≈ 5,64.

But he said my integral equations were wrong.

I don't think you are supposed to square, I think its supposed to be times 2 not to the 2nd power....but I'm flying by the seat of my pants here.....


fuck...your gonna make me get out my calculus books....fuck.....

I know that if you derive x^2, you get 2x...

Indeed, math teachers are like that, I know - twice! I did not really take your initial thread seriously, apologies. Are you seriously having a math problem? Isn't Greek, well...the basis of? Well. Ask Lauren if it is THAT serious a math problem. (L)

(PS - She WILL hate me for that offer :devil: )
 
I think I've got the grades figured out, with cosinus/sinus periods and all:

a) x = arc cos (1/2) = 60 + n* 360 grades. X can also be 300 + n* 360 grades.
b) 2x = arc cos (1/2) = 60, x = 60/2 = 30 + n* 360 grades. X can also be 300/2 = 150 + n* 360 grades.

c) sin x = (√3)/2 = x = arc sin (0.8660254038) = 60 + n* 360 grades. X can also be 300 + n* 360 grades.

this is correct, it is given as an example in one of my calculus books.....and there's a note beside it in my handwriting the says....be able to explain this shit...


ETA:correction, I left something out:

the integral of sin 2x dx = (1/2) the integral of sin 2x(2dx) = -1/2 cos2x + C

My teacher gave me these "tool tips" for calculating:

2) Primitive function of f(x)= cos(5x) is F(x)= (sin(5x)/5. Try this by deriving F(x).


3) cos(20+n*360) = cos(-20+n*360) if we use grades. What about sin(20+n*360) = sin ()?
 
the answer to the derivative question is

5(x**2 + 3x)**4 times (2x+3)(2)=
10(2x+3)(x**2+3x)**4
 
the answer for the first integral is 1.

integral (sin2x) dx = -1/2cos(2x)+ C

evaluate at pi/2 and at 0

-(1/2)(cos pi -cos 0)=-1/2(-2)=1

oh, yeah....now it's coming back....5-1 = 4 (she had it in the wrong place)....I think I'm hauling ass to another thread before I turn back into a total fucking geek again......
 
the answer for the second integral is -1/2

integral cos (2x) dx is 1/2 sin 2x + C

evaluate at pi/2 and pi/4

1/2(0-1)=-1/2
 
cos x = 1/2,

main answers (principal values) x=pi/3 and x=2pi/3. then adding any multiples of 2pi (=360 degrees); i.e., k may have any integral value, positive or negative.
(i.e. 360 degrees)

general form of the answers
x=pi/3 + k(2pi)

{x=200/3 grads + k*400= 66.666666 repeating grads}

[[ for k=1 x=7/3pi ]]

x=2pi/3 + k(2pi)

{x=400/3 grads + k*400 = 133.33333 repeating grads, etc.}

[[for k=1 8/3 pi etc.]]

second trig problem

cos (2x) = 1/2

x= pi/6 or pi/3 and to these may be added as follows for all integral values of k (positive and negative)

pi/6+kpi
pi/3+kpi

NOTE: CONVERT TO GRADS, IF THAT's REQUIRED.

nobody ever uses grads, except engineers, i think.
