  • Help with lists in Prolog?

    Having trouble understanding how Prolog works. I'm tryig to write a rule that takes three lists of integers as input (representing sets) and puts the integers that belong to both the first and second list in the third list.

    Example:

    ?-inter([10,20,30,40],[10,50,40,60], List3 ).

    List3 = [10, 40]

    So far I have this, that can recognize if a list contains a certain letter:

    mymember(X,[X|T]).

    mymember(X,[H|T]) :- mymember(X,T).

    Thanks.

  • in C++, is a class is an instance of an object?

    is a class is an instance of an object?

    It doesn't seem like it, because it is just that.. a class. If you have a Book class and you said Book book1 = new Book();

    then book1 would be an instance of an object... right?

  • is this a function: (a^2) / ((b^2) + 1)?

    I don't think it is because for every x value, you have a unique y value. Like if 2/3 is your x value, 2 would be a and 3 would be b. and the y value would be 4/10, which is equivalent to 2/5.... but 4/10 and 2/5 is the same number.. those aren't exactly 2 different y values... can someone help me? thanks.

    A 6 billion bushel corn crop brings a price of $2.40 per bushel. A commodity broker uses the following rule of thumb: If the crop is reduced by x percent, then the price increases by 10x cents. (Hint: Revenue is equal to price times crop size.)

    (a) Which crop size results in maximum revenue?

    billion bushels

    (b) What is the price per bushel for the crop size that maximizes revenue?

  • finding linearization?

    can someone explain how to do this calc problem?

    Let f(x) = 1 / sqrt(x+1)

    a) find linearization of f(x) at a = 3

    b) use linearization to approximate 1/sqrt(4.01)

    I need to know how to do it because this is a review for an exam. the answer to a is (-1/16)(x - 3) + 1/2

    the answer to b is -(1/16) (3.01) + (11/16)

  • help with calculus problem?

    Hi I need some help with these two calculus problems. Can someone please help explain how to do them? thanks

    1.

    The base x of the right triangle below increases at a rate of 4 cm/s, while the height remains constant at h = 20. How fast is the angle θ changing when x = 20?

    dθ/dt = ?? rad/s

    2.

    A baseball player runs from home plate towards first base at 20 ft/s. How fast is the player's distance from second base changing when the player is three-quarters of the way to the first base? (One side of a baseball diamond is 90 ft. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

    dh/dt = ?? ft/s

    I got -600/sqrt(90^2+60^2) but that doesnt seem to be right.

    Hi, I need some help with two calculus problems. can someone please help explain them to me? thanks

    1.

    A 16-ft ladder is sliding down a wall as shown in the figures below. The variable h is the height of the ladder's top at time t, and x is the distance from the wall to the ladder's bottom. Suppose that the top is sliding down the wall at a rate 2 ft/s. Calculate dx/dt when h = 8. Give your answer correct to two decimal places.

    dx/dt = ?? ft/s

    2.

    The radius r of a right circular cone of fixed height h = 10 cm is increasing at a rate 6 cm/s. How fast is the volume increasing when r = 5? Give your answer correct to two decimal places.

    dV/dt = ?? cm3/s
