badmus45:
find dy/dx at point (2,3) on the curve 3x^2+2y^2+xy^2+x-7=0 show full workings
F(x,y)=3x2 +2y2 +xy2+x-7

y'=dy/dx = -Fx/Fy

Fx=6x +y2 +1. ( derivative wrt .x)

Fy=4y+2xy ...(derivative wrt . y)

Now dy/dx = -(6x+y2 +1)/(4y+2xy)

thus @ (x,y)=(2,3) (I.e dy/dx |(2,3)

=> -[6(2) +(3)2 +1 ] /[4(3) +2(2)(3)

=-(12+9+1)/(12+12) =-22/24 =-11/12

that's it .

Infact, over correct dey worry your solution. Thumbs up man. That's the answer. Send a PM to get your gift. Your approach was even totally different from mine but we got the same answer. That's the beauty of mathemtics. See mine below;
hmmm.OK. sir .
EducationRe: Solve This Easy Mathematics Question And Win A Prize!!! by agentofchange1(m):
naturalwaves:
Hmmm.
Solution

let's pick √(25+10√6)

put √p +√q =√(25+10√6)

taking square of both sides , we have

p+q +2√(pq) =25 +10√6

compare both sides to have

p+q =25 ....... B

& √(pq)=5√6......E

take square again from E

=>pq=150.....N

from N, p=150/q

put in B

=>q2 -25q +150=0

solve to obtain q = 10 ,15

=> p =15..(when q=10)
& p=10....(when q=15)

thus , √(25+10√6)= √15+√10

similarly if we pick √(25-10√6 ) we have √15-√10

hence √(25+10√6)+√(25-10√6)=√15+√10+√15-√10=2√15

that's. it man


guess am right

EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by agentofchange1(m): 5:58pm On Jan 01, 2015
Laplacian:
It Is a NON-LINEAR, SECOND DEGREE, THIRD ORDER differential equation

PROOF;

given; sin(y'')+y'=0 or

sin(y'') = -y'............(1.)

first we differentiate the above

using function of a function to get;

d[sin(y" )]/dy" x dy"/dt + d(y')/dt=0 where we take t as the independent variable; we obtain

cos(y" ) x y'" + y"=0 or

cos(y" ) = -y"/y'" ..............(2.)

square (1.) and (2.) and add;

sin2(y'' ) + cos2(y'' )= (y')2 + (y"/y'" )2=1 or

[1-(y')2] x (y'" )2-(y" )2=0

Q.E.D

if u doubt that the two differential equations are inequivalent, solve the first one (since it is easier) and show that it satisfies the second.
hay man , the prof. himself. .

but seems its of a non-existence /infinite degree since even after every successive derivatives we obtain different D.E ......we employ your approach for P.S ( power series solutions) .

hope you get the gist ..?

you're great man !!

my kid sister, a student of SLT came home with these questions that I should solve. I'm not good with Mathematics and I must be a big sister by helping her get the solutions. Hence, I'm pleading to the conscience of great Mathematicians here to please help a sister!!!
I uploaded a picture of the questions oooo! Yeee! Have mercy nlanders plzz
Q8.

///// SOLUTIONS \\\\\\\

solve for x
a) 22x+1 - 5(2x ) +2 =0

let's rewrite the equation as

2(2x )2 -5 (2x) +2=0

set 2x = v
we thus have

2v2 -5v +2=0

solving the quadratic equation ,

=> v=0.5 or 2

since v=2x
when v=0.5=2-1

=>2x= 2-1
=>. x=-1

also , for v=2

2x=21

=> x=1

hence x=1. ( true solution for the given equation)

b)using logarithm to solve

5. 4x+3*8 .22x-1 =4
.83x

re-writing we have

5.4x.43.8 .22x . 2-1=4 .83x

taking log of both sides , we have

taking ratio with 4x throughout,

we have

(3/4)x + 1= (5/4)x

=>(0.75)x -( 1.25)x+1

=(1-0.25)x -(1+0.25)x +1

Now by. binomials, (1+r)p=1+pr + 0.5p(p-1)r2 +. . .

we thus have

1-0.25x -1-0.25x +1 =0

=> x=1/0.5

hence x=2

guess am right.

This was the answer my maths 101 lecturer gave me when I asked same question. But I have not seen where differentiation and integration have been used to solve real life problems. The mathematics I have seen even the engineers using is elementary mathematics like the ones we did in primary and secondary schools. Integration and differentiation ends in the 4 walls of the university. Am I wrong?
hmmm, oh.. my dear brother, maybe you need proper orientation. on mathematic(especially calculus ) , you see ,we live in dynamic cosmos of complexities & uncertainties for which we implore same basic principles of mathematics & thus far the world has drastically revolutionised which of course calculus & other. branch of math played key roles .

Now

calculus is a mathematical study of how entities changes , the rate at which it occurred & the. variable(s) involved for such changes .

when talk of differentiation or integration is not just about say " find dy/dx of. y=2x^2 thus =4x or taking the integral of the differentiated function to obtain back 2x^2 + k ( for any 'k' being an arbitrary scalar ) . it goes beyond that , you need to understand. the interpretation of that " quote anywhere calculus has vast application (real life) in almost all disciplines .

though I get some point you where trying to project you as an engineer may not do integration or differentiation in your office during work , wait a minute , am not sure. if you've ever heard of. Differential equations ( O.d.e,s p.d.e's or S.d.e's ) for your information young man , mathematical model are being developed to solve so many. diseases , population problem or even economic crisis & lots more all with the knowledge of my dear friend "Mr calculus " .

its a pity our Nigerian education system is greatly flawed cause they teach you the 'how' but not the 'why' . so bro . re-arrange your philosophy..

1. Integral of x(tan^2 x - sec^2x)dx with lower and upper limit =pi

2. Sqr rt of x (x^2 +3x-2)^2. note d sqr rt covers only x

3.if usin integration by parts, show that if ln= integral of sin^(-n) xdx, then pi ln=-cosxsin^(n-1)x +(n-1) hence ,evaluate integral of sin^(-s)xdx
Q1.

From Pythagorean identities ,

1 + tan2x = sec2x

=> tan2 - sec2x =-1

we thus have

integral (-x)dx = -x2/ 2


now input your limits

from what to pi ?

for Q2 & Q3 .. re-check & write well.

akpos4uall: ^^^
Instead of those plenty plenty wahalai above for problem 3, we can just state that the (r + 1)th term in the expression (1 + x)n is nCr * xr
Where r = 0, 1, 2, ... n
nCr = n!/(r! * (n - r)!)
:. The (r + 1)th term of x2n(1 + x-2)2n = 2nCr * x-2r * x2n
= 2nCr * x2n - 2r
From here we can arrive at the right answer as posted earlier.
