Classifying critical points for sqrt(x^2 +y^2)?
So I calculated a critical point of (0,0) but my second derivative test was equal to 0.....hence it should be inconclusive but obviously when you plot this function, you get a global min...what have I done wrong??
1 AnswerMathematics7 years agoAt what points on the curve (y^2 − 2y − x)(y^2 − 2y + x + 2) = 1 does dy/dx not exist?
At what points on the curve (y^2 − 2y − x)(y^2 − 2y + x + 2) = 1 does dy/dx not exist?
How do I solve this?
I did implicit differention but then Im not sure how to identify dy/dx that do not exist? Do I use limits?
Thanks
3 AnswersOther - Science7 years agoUsing chaos theory to model biological data?
I'm doing a project to observe the behaviour and movement of a particular fish....we can see periodicity in our data but with a lot of variability....is it good to use chaos theory to achieve a mathematical model for this....
1 AnswerPhysics8 years agoPython programming question help please?
Hi guys I'm new to python and I was wondering how do you get python to read data from excel and generate graphs from it. Actually I need it to generate multiple seperate graphs all at the same time.
My data sort of like this
Name Time Velocity
Caren 3.5 10
Kasey 3.5 8
Abbey 3.5 7
So i basically want python to generate seperate time and velocity graphs for each of the girls
How do I do that?? The data I'm trying to analyse is complicated than this...but I just need a general hint and suitable websites that could direct me to it

1 AnswerChemistry9 years agoChemistry question - pressure gibbs energy and precipitation reactions (2 questions)?
1.) Consider a pressure – temperature phase diagram with the triple point at a pressure of
pt and a temperature of Tt. If a system is on the phase boundary between solid and
liquid phases, which of the following statements is always true for the system?
(A) ΔG = 0, pressure > pt
(B) ΔG ≠ 0, temperature > Tt
(C) ΔG = 0, pressure < pt
(D) ΔG = 0, temperature < Tt
(E) ΔG ≠ 0, pressure > pt
I really have no clue about this question apparently the answer is A
2.)PbCl2 has a Ksp of 1.6×10-5. If 500 mL of X M HCl must be added to 500 mL of 0.035
M Pb(NO3)2 before a precipitate is observed, what is the value for X?
For this one I calculated how many moles of Pb+ and Cl- I had and I got 0.0175 moles for Pb and 0.5n for Cl and the concentration is just the same and so I solved for this
1.6 x 10^-5 = [Pb] [2 x Cl-]
but I'm getting the wrong answer which is X>or = to 0.06..

Lead is oxidised in air to produce lead oxide(IV). The reaction of lead follows the thermochemical equation
Pb(s) + O2(g) → PbO2(s) ΔrH° = -277.4 kJ mol-1
How much heat (in kilojoules) is liberated by the combustion of 6.16 g of lead?
is the answer just 277.4kJ? because deltaH = -q
1 AnswerChemistry9 years agoChemistry question volume and pressure (Hard)?
The combustion of 0.43 g of a compound that consists only of carbon and hydrogen atoms results in 672 mL CO2 (g) and 0.63 g H2O (standard conditions). When the reaction is initiated the 0.43 g of the unknown compound forms a gas with a volume 156 mL at 50 ºC and a pressure of 861 mbar (check literature to find the definition of the pressure unit bar). Using the information above make a prediction about the composition of the unknown compound.

1 AnswerChemistry9 years agoPhysics Question - Sound and speed?
Sammy is walking through the jungle and comes across a creek that is quite wide. To get across, Sammy decides to use a nearby vine as a swing. Holding onto the vine, he launches off the bank towards the other side of the creek.
(a) If the vine is 3 m long, how much time will it take Sammy to swing to the other side of the creek?
(b) If the vine has a breaking stress of 4:9 106 Nm^2 and a cross-section of 12 cm2 , and Sammy has a mass of 65 kg, will Sammy make it across the creek without breaking the vine?
(c) Say the vine did break and Sammy fell into the creek with a loud splash. Elise is standing 1.5 km away from the creek, how much time will the sound of the splash take to reach Elise? Assume that the speed of sound in air is340 ms^-1
