Why not? Isn't trigonometry fun?

The vertex is the axis of symmetry. (Atleast in parabolas it is.)

I'm not saying that your wrong, Im just saying that you have just stated the Axis of symmetry (thx for correcting), we need the vertex, all you've said is the x value ( p ) we needed both x and y (p and q)
Here's an intersection question:
x>0 = y (y is binary)
-x²+9 = y
Intersection of these lines are... ?
ADDITION: Woops didnt see that another equation was made, well after his do mine. I'm not doing that question cuz it's triginometry and it sucks lol.

Let me see if I have this set up correctly:

tan(y) = 10,000/x

thus,

1/cos(y)^2 dy = 10,000(-1/x^2) dx

Plug and solve for dx right? blushing.gif *Runs off to find calculus book*

I could be nit-picky and such, but yes, it's just using the derivative to find (dx/dt).

Here you go, the two intersections: ( ~2.8 , 1 ) and ( -3 , 0 ).
Yes, x>0 = y can be graphed with a line. (Basically a straight line that is either y=1 (true) or y=0 (false) or a mix of the two)

Let me screw this up for you guys with the older sibling of algerbra, Very Basic Calculus:

An airplane at an altitude of 10,000 ft is flying at a constant speed on a line that will take it directly over an observer on the ground.  If, at a given instant, the observer notes that the angle of elevation of the airplane is 60º and is increasing at a rate of 1º per second, find the speed of the airplane.

dθ/dt = π/180 (radians/sec)
------
tan θ = 10000/x
x = 10000cotθ
dx/dθ = -10000csc[sup]2[/sup]θ
------
dx/dt = (dθ/dt)(dx/dθ) = π/180 * -10000csc[sup]2[/sup]θ [θ=60°=π/3 radians]
dx/dt = π/180 * -13333.333 ft/sec
dx/dt ~= -232.711 ft/sec

The airplane's speed is approximately 232.711 feet per second.



A pot of water is put on a stove which supplies heat to the water a constant rate of 15,000 Joules per second. Unfortunately, a rookie cook forgets to put a lid on the pot, so heat begins to escape from the water at a rate proportional to the amount of heat in the water. Assume that the amount of relative heat in the pot at time t = 0 is equal to 0 Joules, and that after 2 minutes the amount of heat in the pot is 28,000 Joules, find h(t), the amount of relative heat in Joules in the pot after t minutes. How much heat is in the pot after 10 minutes? After the pot is left sitting for an entire day (24 hours)?

If 2t = 28,000h, then (assuming it's a linear increase, which I do.) h = 14,000t.

10 minutes would be 140,000 joules. An entire day is 20,160,000?

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't assume linearity, should I?

probably not, he did mention porportionality, so it'd probly be more j-curve like. at least thats what i think.

The addition of heat is linear, but as soon as there is heat in the water, it starts escaping at a rate proportional to the amount of heat in the water.

What exactly is that rate?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2006-10-11 at 22:14:13
Here's a hint: The derivative of heat with respect to time, dh/dt, is equal to the derivative of the input minus the derivative of the output.

Therefore we have dh/dt = 15000 - kh
We also know that h(0) = 0 and that h(2) = 28000.
