  1. I miss the old days when I had addition and subtraction problems but then again those were boring lol
     
  2. This thread is sooooooo far ahead of what I'm doing in math 

    Its making me look forward to what's to come :p
     
  3. Lol looking forward to...

    ? 
     
  4. Wow...

    I'm still stuck doing these

    [IMG=http://image.tutorvista.com/cms/images/38/rational-expressions.jpg]

    It's tooo easy

    (I hope that worked)
     
  5. Nope. Figures.

    It was a parabola
     
  6. The photobucket app works well for uploading photos to these forums. It is a 3rd party app that is allowed to be mentioned for some reason.
     
  7. I know. I deleted it though as I hadn't used it for quite a while. I guess I'm just too lazy lol
     
  8.  oh well. I guess I know what parabola's look like anyway
     
  9. Does anyone have any math clubs at their school? 
     
  10. Not here .-. I wish
     
  11. My high school didn't have one but my university does. To be honest, if we had a math club at my high school I probably wouldn't have joined  but I will gladly join my university's math club next semester 
     
  12. If my school had a maths club. I'd join 
     
  13.  lol I just had a physics final and a lot of it was directly out of my calculus class! Not even stuff from physics class 
     
  14. omg I'm so confused by this!

    I need to find x

    4cos3x 2 = 0

    The range is -pi > x < pi

    Oh and the > and < are larger and equal , and smaller and equal to :))
    Hope this was clear  
     
  15. Is that 4cos3x plus 2 =0? The plus sign doesn't work on forums. If so, by rearranging you can get cos3x=(-1/2) then you need to ask yourself where is cosine equal to -1/2. Well it's -1/2 at x= (-2pi/3)and (-4pi/3)

    Now, since the problem is cos3x instead of cost, divide both of your answers by 3. This is because for cos3x, x is being multiplied by 3 so if you divide by 3 then you have what you had initially. Therefore your answer are now x= (-2pi/9) and
    (-4pi/9)

    This is assuming that I read your problem correctly and you intended to have a plus sign

    And btw you wrote your range wrong 

    If you have -pi>x<pi then that reads that x is less than -pi and less than pi. Usually when you have a compound inequality it reads "x is greater than something but less than something else."
     
  16. If you meant -pi<x<pi then both of these x coordinates satisfy the domain. The "range" usually refers to y. Or you could call it an interval.
     
  17. typo in second paragraph of my first response to you.

    Should read:

    Now, since the problem is cos3x instead of cosx

    Not cost
