y=lnx+(1+ln2)/2 and y=x^2 2019-01-28
Mike pose la question :
Prove that y=lnx+(1+ln2)/2 and y=x^2 touch each other.

The course is about logarithm and root functions... how should I solve this problem?

A kinky curve 2016-10-06
tammie pose la question :
Koch’s kinky curve is created by starting with a straight segment and replacing it with four segments, each 1/3 as long as the original segment. So, at the second stage the curve has three bends. At the next stage, each segment is replaced by four segments, and so on. How many bends does the curve have at the third stage?

A metal gate 2016-02-06
Carl pose la question :
I am a welder and I build gates. I have to put holes in a rail and then bend the rail in a curve. The problem is that the holes in the curved rail must line up with holes in the other straight rails. How do I calculate where to put the holes in the rail before I bend it? I will send a drawing if necessary.

The parameterisation of of a curve 2014-04-01
Eunice pose la question :
Let C be the path along the curve given by y−80=−5x2 that moves from the point (5,−45) to the point (0,80). Find r(t) the parameterisation of C in that direction as t∈[0,5]. How am I suppose to find the parametric of both x and y?
can I let x=t, then y=-5t^2+80? thanks

Lissajous curve 2010-03-03
Nikki pose la question :
I'm interested in information about a particular mathematical figure. My memory is that it is called a "liciju figure", but obviously my spelling of this is incorrect because a google search of this and it's variants has revealed nothing. I believe it's related to the Moebius strip and probably connected with radio waves. It is used as the logo for our national broadcaster (The Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and you see exactly what I'm talking about by going on their website: www.abc.net.au. I have tried contacting them directly, but have received no response in over a month now!

f(x)= (e^x) / [(e^x)+(ex^2)] 2009-11-10
natalie pose la question :
I'm trying to graph the function, f(x)= (e^x) / (e^x)+(ex^2) [e to the x divided by e to the x plus e times x squared] I know that there aren't any vertical asymptotes, but is there a horizontal asymptote? and also, I'm stuck on finding the concavity for this graph. I tried to find f "(x), but it came out to be really long and I am not sure how to find the x values for f "(x) without using a graphic calculator. thanks, natalie

A tangent to a curve through a point not on the curve 2008-07-23
Carter pose la question :
How does one find the tangent points on a curve, given only the curve's function and the x-intercept of that tangent line?
i.e. Find the point(s) on the curve y = -(x^2) + 1, where the tangent line passes through the point (2, 0). I know that there will be two such points, one where y is very close to 1, and the other point where y is a large negative number. However, I do not recall how to figure out the tangent line equation given a single intercept and solving to find the tangent points.

The area bounded by 3 curves 2008-04-13
Sabahat pose la question :
Hi, I have enclosed a diagram.
The diagram shows the curve y=(2x-5)4. The point P has co-ordinates (4,81) and the tangent to the curve at P meets the x-axis at Q.

Find the area of the region (shaded in the diagram) enclosed between the curve, PQ and the x-axis . (Please note that the equation y is read as y=2x -5 whole raise to power 4.)

The bathtub curve 2005-10-13
David pose la question :

My father asked me to submit a question about the so-called 'bathtub
curve'. If you cut a bathtub in half lengthwise down it's middle, the
edge of the tub would describe the 'bathtub curve' which can be used
to demonstrate typical failure rates of products. This curve is
characterised by high initial (infant mortality) failure rates at
it's beginning, which drop quickly to a very low level. Failures then
increase gradually to the "end of life" stage where the failure rate
takes off dramatically again.

If anyone in the math department knows about the so-called 'bathtub
curve' my father would really appreciate the equation.

A line from the center of the patch to the periphery 2005-01-01
Sandrine pose la question :
I am currently researching a patch disease of grasses. These patches are roughly circular. I need a term for a line from the center of the patch to the periphery. Since the patches are not perfectly circular, my supervisors tell me I cannot use the word 'radius'. What else could I use?

The tangent to a curve and the tangent of an angle 2002-08-26

Asymptotes 2001-11-09
Frank pose la question :

given the function:

f(x) = (x2) / (x-1)

the correct answer to the limit of f(x) as x approaches infinity is:

y = x+1

all math references point to this answer and the method they all use is long division of x-1 into x2

however if one were to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1/x and then take the limit, one gets:

y=x

how can the descrepency between the two answers be explained?

Fourier transform 2001-08-07
Adbul pose la question :
  1. Sir, we have the Dirichlet's condition for the Fourier transform : " The function should be integral over the real line " But why we are we neglecting this for example when we take the Fourier transform of an impulse train?

  2. Suppose we want to travel from one corner of a square of side 'a' to the diagonally opposite corner. We can travel along the sides which gives a pah length of '2a'. We can also do it in steps as shown below:

      _ | |_PATH |   |_ |_____| 


    Suppose The step size =DELTA x Then the path length will be again '2a'. Now in the limit DELTA x -->0 again we get '2a' But when we take the limit we get the straight line diagonal whose length is 'SQRT(2)X a' Where did I go wrong?

Length of a line 1999-10-10
Dagmara Sarudi pose la question :
My question has to do with the length of a diagonal. This problem came up when I thought about the shortest distance between two points, for example walking from one point to another in my neighborhood. I can choose a zig zag route and assuming the blocks I walk are exactly the same length, it shouldn't matter what route I took, the distance I travel should still be the same when I reached my goal. If, on the other hand I could travel in a diagonal line, the distance would be shorter. But what if, in my zig zag motion, the sections get so small the route approaches a diagonal. Shouldn't it be that each separate section added together equals the value of the two original sides? Or would it suddenly equal the value of the diagonal (which, of course was shorter than the two sides added together)?
What gives?

Slopes of curved lines 1999-06-09
Stephen Ehrler pose la question :
When one plots the graphs of y=2x, y=3x, y=xx When each of these graphs pass through point (0,1) do they have the same slope? I know they are different lines but is it possable that they have the same slope at point (0,1).

Fitting a Curve 1999-01-19
Kirk pose la question :
Hello my name is Kirk from Scarborough, Ontario.

I have been out of a formal education system for thirty years. I program microcontrollers in my spare time. I have built a temperature sensing device ready to go but, thermistors are very non-linear. I do know that there is a way to calculate the input condition of the thermistor and display the correct temperature in degrees C. I am sending a file to show my progression so far.
