Integrate: (2x^2+5)/((x^2+1)(x^2+4)) I came up with: (tan^-1)(x)-(1/2)((tan^-1)(2/x)) but it keeps coming back the wrong answer even though I integrated correctly. Is there a way to simplify this answer, and if so, how? Your answer is correct, but I think you are supposed to s...

The source of a sound wave has a power of 2.50 µW. Assume it is a point source. (a) What is the intensity 6.70 m away? I used I = Power / 4*pi*r^2 and found I to be 4.43x10^-9 W/m^2 (b) What is the sound level at that distance? Sound level = 10 dB*log [(Intensity)/(Inten...

Two sinusoidal waves, identical except for phase, travel in the same direction along a string producing a net wave y'(x, t) = (1.5 mm) sin(29x - 4.0t + 0.960 rad), with x in meters and t in seconds. (a) What is the wavelength of the two waves? I found the wavelength to be ...

Calculate the speed of the pulse from the following: y(x,t) = 2/((x - 3t)^2 + 1) Well the speed of the pulse is given by: y(x,t) = f (x - vt) for a pulse traveling to the right and y(x,t) = f (x + vt) for a pulse traveling to the left but in this case the function is (x - 3t)^...

Two sinusoidal waves with identical wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string with a speed of 11 cm/s. If the time interval between instants when the string is flat is 0.33 s, what is the wavelength of the waves? wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequ...

The angle of the pendulum is given by θ = θmcos(ωt + φ), where ω = 3.24 rad/s. If at t = 0, θ = 1 rad and dθ/dt = -0.9 rad/s, what are φ and θm? So if I substitute in omega and t=0 I have θ = θmcos(φ). How do I solve ...
