Do these integrals (these eliminate the “+C” part): 1/2 x2 1/3 x3– x ln x Do these derivatives: 2e2x 4x -2x–3
Do these partial derivatives for: 2x 3y2 2 6y 0
Reid’s evil rectangle: This illustrates how “A” (area) can be a function of any 2 of the 4 dimensions (variables). A is a 2-D function any way you slice it ! t s h b
If we regard A as a function of b & h (i.e. A(b,h)), what is the general expression for the differential of A: >>> dA = ?
