Optimization

Optimization comes from the same root as "optimal". "Optimal" means the highest. When you do the optimization process, that is when you are "making it best" to maximize everything and to achieve optimal results, a set of parameters is the base for the se…

Integration

Integration means to sum the things. In mathematics, it is the branch of Calculus which is used to find the area under the curve. The operation subtraction is the inverse of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication. In the same way, integratio…

Application of Integration

In mathematics, the process of integration is used to compute complex area related problems. With the application of integration, solving area related problems, whether they are a curve, or a curve between lines, can be done easily.

Volume

In mathematics, we describe the term volume as a quantity that can express the total space that an object occupies at any point in time. Usually, volumes can only be calculated for 3-dimensional objects. By 3-dimensional or 3D objects, we mean objects th…

Area

Area refers to the amount of space a figure encloses and the number of square units that cover a shape. It is two-dimensional and is measured in square units.

Given lim x-4 f (x) = 1,limx-49 (x) = 10, and lim→-4 h (x) = -7 use the limit properties to find lim→-4 1 [2h (x) — h(x) + 7 f(x)] : - h(x)+7f(x) 3 O DNE

17. Suppose we know that the graph below is the graph of a solution to dy/dt = f(t). (a) How much of the slope field can you sketch from this information? [Hint: Note that the differential equation depends only on t.] (b) What can you say about the solu- tion with y(0) = 2? (For example, can you sketch the graph of this so- lution?) y(0) = 1 y AN

(b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5. In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the following limit. lim h→0 - f(x + h) − f(x) h The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule defining f. f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h) = 2xh+h2_ x² + 2xh + h² 5✔ - 5 )x - 5h Step 4 - The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x). - f(x + h) f(x) = = (x² x² + 2xh + h² - ])- = 2x + h² - 5h ])x-5h) - (x² - 5x) = ]) (2x + h - 5) Macbook Pro
