Here's a big cup of harden the hell up:

Find the volume of the ellipsoidal solid given by 2x^2 + 4y^2 + z^2 = 16

First ever maths troll

lol now that's just silly khorne

 

[untouchablecuz]

yer khorne

DID IT IN ONE STEP!

Wrong bitch, I believe you will find it's 64*pi/3

New question:

If dx/dt = 1/(x+4) and x =0 when t=0, find t when x =2

New question:

If dx/dt = 1/(x+4) and x =0 when t=0, find t when x =2

Q.
a. Find the limiting sum of the series in simplest form.
b. Why does this series have a limiting sum?

Q.
a. Find the limiting sum of the series in simplest form.
b. Why does this series have a limiting sum?

it only does if cos x =/=1 or it'd just keep getting bigger.

 

[hermand]

it only does if cos x =/=1 or it'd just keep getting bigger.

it's not a number.

*taps nose knowingly*.

haha.

Question:

Show that the maximum value of <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\frac{\ln x}{x}" target="_blank"><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\frac{\ln x}{x}" title="\frac{\ln x}{x}" /></a> is <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\frac{1}{e}" target="_blank"><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\frac{1}{e}" title="\frac{1}{e}" /></a>

Test for maximum in dy/dx



is maximum

p.s are you sure your question is correct? or did i do something wrong =/
Question:The rate of sales, R dollars per day of a certain australian company is given by R=2t +120, where t=time in days.
a)what is the rate of sales at the end of 10 days?
b)calculate total amount of sales in first 8 days
c) on what day will accumulated sales exceed $10000?

i don't know...i got it off a sheet my teacher wrote.

lol alright, i'm quite sure i did it right unless someone can correct me :uhhuh:

 

[elmoateme]

You found the x value for which lnx/x is a maximum. To find that actual maximum value you need to sub x=e into the original equation. Doing that you get 1/e as required. =)

So yes you did it right, but you just didn't finish the question. Make sure you do in the HSC.

put a loan repayment question in! Love it!!

OMG genius I couldn't think how to get 1/e. Im gonna rep you for that
anyhow loan repayment question..: Keirren borrows $150,000 on a 7.5% p/a interest, calculated at the end of each month after Keirren repays an amount.
a)How much is each monthly repayment if Keirren pays off the loan in 10 years.
b)How much would Keirren save if he pays off the loan in 5 years as opposed to 10 years.

P=$150,000, I=0.075/12=1/160 (monthly interest), n=120 monthly repayments

i) A_1=P+I-M

=150000+150000(1/160)-M

=150000(1+1/160)-M

A_2=A1+A1(I)-M

=A1(1+1/160)-M

=[150000(1+1/160)-M](1+1/160)-M

=150000(1+1/160)^2-M(1+1/160)-M

=150000(1+1/160)^2-M[1+(1+1/160)]

A_3=A2(1+1/160)-M

=[150000(1+1/160)^2-M[1+(1+1/160)](1+1/160)-M

=150000(1+1/160)^3-M[1+(1+1/160)+(1+1/160)^2]

...

A_10=150000(1+1/160)^10-M[1+(1+1/160)+(1+1/160)^2+...+(1+1/160)^9]

After 10 years, A_10=0; a=1, r=(1+1/160)

M[(1+1/160)^9-1]/(1/160)=150000(1+1/160)^10

M=[1875(1+1/160)^10]/ 2[(1+1/160)^9 -1]

Don't have a calculator here atm, but that's the answer

ii) Where ever n=10, insert n=5. For the (n-1)term (ie. the 9) insert 4

Then minus it from i) to get difference

Enjoy, Addison

a)
r=7.5%/12 n=12X10
=0.625% = 120
=1.00625

A1=150000X(1.00625)- M
A2= 150000.(1.00625)^2 - M(1+1.00625)
A120=150000.(1.00625)^120 - M (1+1.00625+....+1.00625^119)

S119=1.(1.00625^119 -1/0.00625)
= 175.8314

so M= 150000.(1.00625)^120 / 175.8314
= $1801.78

Total Payment = M x 120
=$216231.6

b) r=1.00625 n=60

A60=150000X 1.00625^60 - M (1+1.00625+...+1.00625^59)

S59= 1.( 1.00625^59 -1 /0.00625)

M= 150000.(1.00625)^60 / S59
= $3066.79

Total payment = M x 60
=$184005.73

so Kierren saved $216213.6 - $184005.73
= $32207.87

so now... a not-general-maths question someone?
