Curated OER
Worksheet 19
In this math worksheet, students use the following descriptions of a spring system to write a differential equation of the form my + γy + ky = F(x).
Curated OER
Worksheet 9 Practice Test 1
In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the differential equations. Then they examine the group of equations in order to determine the ones that are linear.
Curated OER
Worksheet 20
In this math instructional activity, students Investigate the structure and function of how the numbers of people infected with HIV changes over time. They answer the fact of it either increasing or decreasing.
Curated OER
Worksheet 34
In this math activity, students find the plane perpendicular to the path (t2, t, cos 2πt) at time t = 1/4. Then they determine the location in which the object is moving the fastest.
Curated OER
Worksheet 23
In this math worksheet, students define the sets of vectors. They also observe the concept of area for the parallelogram and how vectors are used.
Curated OER
Worksheet 18 Fall 1995
For each of the equations they find the values of the rational expressions. Then they differentiate each expression in relation to the value of t.
