I'm an educationist who actually love research, as that alone can make me excel successfully in my field of study. I've always loved the field of science, particularly mathematics. The main reason I'm on the Yahoo! Answers Community is that I enjoy answering questions, learning from what others have contributed in their field of study and helping others the best I can to my ability in tackling mathematical or other scientific problems.

A mathematics question as regards distance function...?
A distance function d is said to be defined as d(x, y) = |x² - y²| for all x, y ∈ ℝ. Prove that d is not a metric on ℝ.
1 AnswerMathematics2 years agoSolve for x: |x| + |x + 2| + |2 - x| ≤ 8 where x ∈ ℝ...?
2 AnswersMathematics2 years agoSimplify the expression [(b + c)^(- 3/8) - (b - c)^(- 3/8)] / [b^(2) - c^(2)]^(5/8)...?
The answer to the problem given is

1 AnswerMathematics2 years agoA question regarding the differential equations for kinetic energy...?
Show that for a single particle with constant mass, the equation of motion implies the following differential equations for kinetic energy:
dT/dt = F • V, while if the mass varies with time, the corresponding equation is
d(mT)/dt = F • P
I will be glad, if the explanation is provided alongside with the calculation.
Thanks!
