Open Question: Chain Rule Maths linear air resistance.?

Open Question: Chain Rule Maths linear air resistance.?

A particle of mass m is projected vertically upwards with speed V in air that produces
a resistance to motion kv when the particle's speed is v. By using the chain rule and writing
z(double dot)= vv'(z), find an expression for H and deduce that m(V-gT) = kH.

How can you deduce that, with explanation please? I really struggle with the chain rule so any help would be appreciated.

Open Question: 3 major components needed to understand the relation between a graph, a linear equation, and a table of values?

Open Question: 3 major components needed to understand the relation between a graph, a linear equation, and a table of values?

so i need this on an assignment for school and i wasn't really listening when he explained it. I just want the 3 components in paragraph form. :P oh and dont add to many sophisticated words because im copy and pasting.

heres the question word for word: describe the 3 major components necessary to help you understand the relationship between a graph, equation and a table of values.

Open Question: does anyone know how to do this linear algebra ?

Open Question: does anyone know how to do this linear algebra ?

A and B are similar if and only if they have the same eigenvalues.

So start by finding the eigenvalues. If they're different, then A and B are not similar.

If they are the same, then find the eigenvectors and form a matrix with those eigenvectors as columns. Using the eigenvectors of A gives you a matrix that diagonalizes A. That is, let P1 be this matrix. Then

D = P1^(-1) A P1

where D is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal. Do the same thing with B. Since it has the same eigenvalues

D = P2^(-1) B P2, or B = P2 D P2^(-1)

So B = P2 P1^(-1) A P1 P2^(-1) and the matrix P you want is equal to P1 * P2^(-1).

Open Question: Applied Linear Algebra Proof?

Open Question: Applied Linear Algebra Proof?

I'm assuming all of the matrices have real entries.

First,
(Q^T C Q)^T = Q^T C^T (Q^T)^T = Q^T C Q,
so Q^T C Q is symmetric.

Now,
det(Q^T C Q - xI)
= det(Q^T C Q - Q^T xI Q) . . . . [since Q^T Q = I]
= det(Q^T (C - xI) Q)
= det(Q^T) det(C - xI) det(Q)
= det(C - xI) det(Q^T) det(Q)
= det(C - xI) det(Q^T Q)
= det(C - xI) det(I) . . . . . . [since Q^T Q = I, again]
= det(C - xI)

Therefore the characteristic polynomials are the same, so in particular, the eigenvalues are the same. Therefore Q^TCQ is symmetric and every eigenvalue is positive real, so it is positive definite.

Open Question: Applications of first order linear ODEs. Calculus?

Open Question: Applications of first order linear ODEs. Calculus?

Question is:
An office contains 1000 ft^3 of air initially free of carbon monoxide. Starting at time = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% carbon monoxide is blown into the room at the rate of 0.5 ft^3/min. A ceiling fan keeps the air in the room well circulated and the air leaves the room at the same rate of 0.5ft^3/min. Find the time when the concentration of carbon monoxide reaches 0.01%.

I'm always having trouble setting up this equation
I know s = smoke;
so DS/dt = in - out
[4% * 0.5ft^3/min] - [0.01% * 0.5ft^3/min ] I know I'm missing some variables such as t, to find the time when concentration of smoke is 0.01%

My assumption is 4% of 1000ft^3 so that there is 9060ft^3 = air while 40ft^3 = smoke in.
0.01% of 1000 is 9090 = air and 10 = smoke.
Just need help setting up the question and understanding how to get it.
