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..

Theorem 3: (Second Derivative Test)
Let f be a differentiable function on an interval I and let a I. Let f "(a) be continuous at a. Then i) 'a' is a point of local maxima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) < 0 ii) 'a' is a point of local minima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) > 0 iii) The test fails if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) ..

See what our Users say :
I uploaded a worksheet and I wanted to follow it with the tutor so I could learn the technical parts. It took just a few minutes to get the understanding of what I needed with the tutor. I even get through all the examples on the sheet in 25 minutes that we were focused on it.
I could not get time to help my daughter with her homework so I looked on net about online tutoring, we tried tutorvista for a week, my daughter liked it, so, now I got her join it.
