Newton Raphson 3 iterations
Look at the first three iterations of the Newton Raphson method starting from a point you determine on a function you define. You'll see that when it's good it's very very good and when it's bad its awful.
Sliding Ladder Problem
One of the first calculus class problems is the sliding ladder. In this problem, a ladder is resting against a wall when, all of a sudden, it starts sliding down! In this problem you're solving for dx/dt or the rate at which the point B is moving away from the wall (point C). Input constraints: -The rate of slide must be negative for the ladder to slide down -The initial height of the ladder must be less than the ladders length
Application of The Mean Value Theorem to problem solving
Given function f(x) = arctan (1-x) on the interval [0, 1].
Application of The Mean Value Theorem to problem solving
Given function f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1). Show that there is no such c that f(3) = f'(c)(3-0). Why does this not contradict the Mean Value Theorem?
Application of The Mean Value Theorem to problem solving
If f(2) = -2 and f'(x) >=2 for 2<=x<=6, how small can f(6) possibly be?
