    Applications of the Integral: Horizontal slicing

    I was reading the text and it said that you must subtract the larger x-value to the smaller x-value. I dont know how you would determine which x value is larger and which is smaller. Please help.

    Sigma Notation: sum[i=1 to 6] [n cos(n pi)]

    Sorry They way I see the question is: Since Cos pi= -1 and n having six terms from 1 to 6. 1(-1(1)) + 2((-1(2)) + 3(-1(3).... That would give me a totally different answer from the second post...

    [MOVED] How does this Cancel? (rational equation)

    (x-2)/x/(x-2)(x+2) = 1/x(x+2) Please someone help me by clarifying how the second step is produced. I worked through many options but I cant get to that second step. The way I see it is if a fraction is divided by a fraction then you would multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the...

    Intermediate Value Theorem: show that the equation x - cosx

    Use the IVT to show that the equation x - cosx = 0 has a solution between x = 0 and x = pi/2. I really do not understand this theorem please some explain this to me.

    Proving that a > b iff a^2 > b^2 for a, b > 0

    I am having problems with proving alot of the questions asked in the text book. I don't know what to do or how to start it. For example: a > b <=> a^2 > b^2 (Let a > 0 and b > 0) How would I prove that question? Gr.12 calculas did not really delve into the concept of proving mathematical...

    Differentiate? x^2 = d/dx (x^2 - x)

    Yes I recieved that exact answer... and solving that answer yields: x=1 and x= -1 but the answer on the multiple choice list is x=1.

    Differentiate? x^2 = d/dx (x^2 - x)

    This question was on a multiple choice test and the answer I recieved was not the same as was on the list. I don't know any other way or direction to takle this question. x^2= d/dx (x^2 - x) I first differentiated the values in the brackets which yields 2x - 1. I then equated the equation to...
