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..
Conclusion Differentiation
In this chapter, we have studied various techniques of differentiation. Also, we have studied the method of obtaining higher order derivatives of functions which is useful in maxima and minima problems.In this chapter, we have studied various techniques of differentiation. Also,..

Two coherent sources of intensity ratio 100:1 interfere. Deduce the ratio of intensity between the maxima and minima in the patter..
Step 2:
Solve f '(x) = 0 to get the critical values for f (x). Let these values be a, b, c. These are the points of maxima or minima. Arrange these values in ascending ord..

Conclusion
In this chapter we have learnt the application of derivatives to rate measure, also we have used the geometrical measurement of to find the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve at any point on the curve, angle of intersection of the curves. The derivatives also help in examining the behav..

My son likes this website very much, the tutors are well trained to manage lower grade level kids ,It's a Great Website..
I am Jessica from New York, I got excellent English tutors from Tutor Vista, who helped me lot to overcome my grammar mistakes, Thanks a lot...
I used to fail in my math class, after I joined Tutor Vista I am getting good grades in math, Thank you
We have a single tutor for 40 students in school, where as I have a personal tutor for myself with Tutor Vista, It's a great help -Joe
