Maxima and Minima
Maxima and Minima - A function f(x) is said to have a local maximum at x = a, if $ is a neighbourhood I of 'a', such that f(a) f(x) for all x I The number f(a) is called the local maximum of f(x). The point a is called the point of maximum. Note that when 'a' is the point of loc..

Ratio of Intensities at Maxima and Minima
It has already been proved that the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude. At a point where constructive interference has occurred, the intensity will be maximum and the amplitudes of the two waves will have added. If A 1 and A 2 are the amplitudes of the individual wav..
Step 2
For a particular Critical value x = a, find f " ' (a) (i) If f ''(a) < 0 then f (x) has a local maxima at x = a and f (a) is the maximum value. (ii) If f ''(a) > 0 then f (x) has a local minima at x = a and f (a) is the minimum value. (iii) If f ''(a) = 0 or , the test f..

very helpful of a complex problem, oh my god I would have never completed this problem with out the tutor. Tutor vista thank u so much.
The tutor remembered me from last week and noted my improvement. This is simply amazing :)
I have experienced very innovative way of learning, I joined online tutoring at Tutorvista few months back when I was in grade 10, I scored really well in grade 10 and ny parents were really happy.
