    Early introduction to calculus, for beginning-algebra students

    hint; max ht is when velocity=0. v=dh/dt. and as said previous you are missing a t. h(t) = 5 + 20t - 5t^2

    integrate Area of a rt triangle w/ hypotenuse=r, horizontal=x, vertical=sqrt(r2-x2)

    Area of a rt triangle, with the hypotenuse=r, horizontal=x, and vertical=sqrt(r2-x2) I should get an equivalent to A=1/2base*ht A=int sqrt (r2-x2)dx, limits for x=0,x =r int sqrt (1-(x/r)2)dx; sub x/r=sin&, dx=rcos&d&, limits 0, rsin& =r2 int cos2& d&; sub cos2&+1=2cos2& =(r2/2) int (1+cos2&)...

    area of semi-circle, negative answer

    I am getting a negative number for the area of a semicircle, and I can't find my mistake. find: area of semi-circle of radius 2, centered at origin. A=S-22S0sq rt(4-x2)dydx, [i.e. limits of x are -2 and 2, limits of y are 0 and square root (4-x2)] 1st int. A=S-22sq rt (4-x2)dx change...
