the OP was confused (asking why ln2 isn't differentiated)
jetblack was just pointing out that ln2 is a number/constant, not a function, so it is treated the same as any other constant when differentiating
"So for all values of t, you have all possible values for an argument."
θ1 =/= ±pi/2, so 2θ =/= pi, so you don't have -all- possible values (the point (-1,0) is missing from the unit circle).
you can see from your algebraic solution that x=/=-1
for it to be a function, there can only be one y value for every x value so you can't have the ±. I'm not too sure why it's - rather than + though
edit: oh right.. didn't notice the x<=1 part
well there's one intersection at m=ke, so if m > ke there would be 2, if 0 =< m < ke there would be 0. drawing a graph may help in understanding it: y=e^kx lies above y=kex for all values except one, so if the line increases in gradient it will lie above the exponential for a range of values...
yeah it's m/(m+n). they must have taken m+n to be 1 for some reason (if m=2, n=3 for example, obviously XY is not twice as big as BC: it is 2/5 the size)
if you have an inverse function, the x and y change places, since y=f-1(x), x = f(y)
dy/dx at x=-1 in f(x) is 3-12 = -9. In the inverse function, this is dx/dy, so dy/dx is 1/(-9) = -1/9
to order the vowels, rather than treating them as different letters I would just straight away consider them as identitcal (since they can't be ordered), so to order them it is 8C4 rather than 8P4/2 (ie. it is the number of ways of choosing 4 of the 8 spots to have a vowel in them). this...
when i have dv/dt = f(x) I just multiply out by .dx to make it possible to integrate the RHS, and go from there (dv/dt .dx = dv .dx/dt = v.dv)
do we really need to write it as d(v²/2)/dx / is there really any difference?
i was just writing out the answer and thread got deleted :(
d(arctan 3/x)/dx
= (-3/x2)/(9/x2 + 1)
just using derivative of inverse tan
..and you can do the rest
