$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill {\int }_{a}^{b}|{f}^{\text{'}}-{p}^{\text{'}}|& =& \sum _{i=1}^{n}{\int }_{{x}_{i-1}}^{{x}_{i}}|{f}^{\text{'}}-{p}^{\text{'}}|\hfill \\ & =& {\int }_{a}^{{x}_{1}}|{f}^{\text{'}}|+\sum _{i=2}^{n-1}|{f}^{\text{'}}-{p}^{\text{'}}|+{\int }_{{x}_{n-1}}^{b}|{f}^{\text{'}}|\hfill \\ & \le & {\int }_{a}^{a+{\delta }^{\text{'}}}|{f}^{\text{'}}|+{\int }_{b-{\delta }^{\text{'}}}^{b}|{f}^{\text{'}}|+\frac{ϵ}{4\left(b-a\right)}{\int }_{{x}_{1}}^{{x}_{n-1}}1\hfill \\ & <& ϵ.\hfill \end{array}$

The proof is now complete.

REMARK It should be evident that the preceding theorem can easily be generalized to a piecewise smooth function $f,$ i.e., a function that is continuous on $\left[a,b\right],$ continuously differentiable on each subinterval $\left({t}_{i-1},{t}_{i}\right)$ of a partition $\left\{{t}_{0}<{t}_{1}<...<{t}_{n}\right\},$ and whose derivative ${f}^{\text{'}}$ is absolutely integrable on $\left(a,b\right).$ Indeed, just apply the theorem to each of the subintervals $\left({t}_{i-1},{t}_{i}\right),$ and then carefully piece together the piecewise linear functions on those subintervals.

Now we are ready to define what a smooth curve is.

By a smooth curve from a point ${z}_{1}$ to a different point ${z}_{2}$ in the plane, we mean a set $C\subseteq C$ that is the range of a 1-1, smooth, function $\phi :\left[a,b\right]\to C,$ where $\left[a,b\right]$ is a bounded closed interval in $R,$ where ${z}_{1}=\phi \left(a\right)$ and ${z}_{2}=\phi \left(b\right),$ and satisfying ${\phi }^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\ne 0$ for all $t\in \left(a,b\right).$

More generally, if $\phi :\left[a,b\right]\to {R}^{2}$ is 1-1 and piecewise smooth on $\left[a,b\right],$ and if $\left\{{t}_{0}<{t}_{1}<...<{t}_{n}\right\}$ is a partition of $\left[a,b\right]$ such that ${\phi }^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\ne 0$ for all $t\in \left({t}_{i-1},{t}_{i}\right),$ then the range $C$ of $\phi$ is called a piecewise smooth curve from ${z}_{1}=\phi \left(a\right)$ to ${z}_{2}=\phi \left(b\right).$

In either of these cases, $\phi$ is called a parameterization of the curve $C.$

Note that we do not assume that $|{\phi }^{\text{'}}|$ is improperly-integrable, though the preceding theorem might have made you think we would.

REMARK Throughout this chapter we will be continually faced with the fact that a given curve can have many different parameterizations.Indeed, if ${\phi }_{1}:\left[a,b\right]\to C$ is a parameterization, and if $g:\left[c,d\right]\to \left[a,b\right]$ is a smooth function having a nonzero derivative, then ${\phi }_{2}\left(s\right)={\phi }_{1}\left(g\left(s\right)\right)$ is another parameterization of $C.$ Since our definitions and proofs about curves often involve a parametrization, we will frequently need to prove that the results we obtain are independent of the parameterization.The next theorem will help; it shows that any two parameterizations of $C$ are connected exactly as above, i.e., there always is such a function $g$ relating ${\phi }_{1}$ and ${\phi }_{2}.$

Let ${\phi }_{1}:\left[a,b\right]\to C$ and ${\phi }_{2}:\left[c,d\right]\to C$ be two parameterizations of a piecewise smooth curve $C$ joining ${z}_{1}$ to ${z}_{2}.$ Then there exists a piecewise smooth function $g:\left[c,d\right]\to \left[a,b\right]$ such that ${\phi }_{2}\left(s\right)={\phi }_{1}\left(g\left(s\right)\right)$ for all $s\in \left[c,d\right].$ Moreover, the derivative ${g}^{\text{'}}$ of $g$ is nonzero for all but a finite number of points in $\left[c,d\right].$

Because both ${\phi }_{1}$ and ${\phi }_{2}$ are continuous and 1-1, it follows from [link] that the function $g={\phi }_{1}^{-1}\circ {\phi }_{2}$ is continuous and 1-1 from $\left[c,d\right]$ onto $\left[a,b\right].$ Moreover, from [link] , it must also be that $g$ is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. Write ${\phi }_{1}\left(t\right)={u}_{1}\left(t\right)+i{v}_{1}\left(t\right)\equiv \left({u}_{1}\left(t\right),{v}_{1}\left(t\right)\right),$ and ${\phi }_{2}\left(s\right)={u}_{2}\left(s\right)+i{v}_{2}\left(s\right)\equiv \left({u}_{2}\left(s\right),{v}_{2}\left(s\right)\right).$ Let $\left\{{x}_{0}<{x}_{1}<...<{x}_{p}\right\}$ be a partition of $\left[a,b\right]$ for which ${\phi }_{1}^{\text{'}}$ is continuous and nonzeroon the subintervals $\left({x}_{j-1},{x}_{j}\right),$ and let $\left\{{y}_{0}<{y}_{1}<...<{y}_{q}\right\}$ be a partition of $\left[c,d\right]$ for which ${\phi }_{2}^{\text{'}}$ is continuous and nonzero on the subintervals $\left({y}_{k-1},{y}_{k}\right).$ Then let $\left\{{s}_{0}<{s}_{1}<...<{s}_{n}\right\}$ be the partition of $\left[c,d\right]$ determined by the finitely many points $\left\{{y}_{k}\right\}\cup \left\{{g}^{-1}\left({x}_{j}\right)\right\}.$ We will show that $g$ is continuously differentiable at each point $s$ in the subintervals $\left({s}_{i-1},{s}_{i}\right).$

Fix an $s$ in one of the intervals $\left({s}_{i-1},{s}_{i}\right),$ and let $t={\phi }_{1}^{-1}\left({\phi }_{2}\left(s\right)\right)=g\left(s\right).$ Of course this means that ${\phi }_{1}\left(t\right)={\phi }_{2}\left(s\right),$ or ${u}_{1}\left(t\right)={u}_{2}\left(s\right)$ and ${v}_{1}\left(t\right)={v}_{2}\left(s\right).$ Then $t$ is in some one of the intervals $\left({x}_{j-1},{x}_{j}\right),$ so that we know that ${\phi }_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\ne 0.$ Therefore, we must have that at least one of ${u}_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ or ${v}_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ is nonzero. Suppose it is ${v}_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ that is nonzero. The argument, in case it is ${u}_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)$ that is nonzero, is completely analogous. Now, because ${v}_{1}^{\text{'}}$ is continuous at $t$ and ${v}_{1}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\ne 0,$ it follows that ${v}_{1}$ is strictly monotonic in some neighborhood $\left(t-\delta ,t+\delta \right)$ of $t$ and therefore is 1-1 on that interval. Then ${v}_{1}^{-1}$ is continuous by [link] , and is differentiable at the point ${v}_{1}\left(t\right)$ by the Inverse Function Theorem. We will show that on this small interval $g={v}_{1}^{-1}\circ {v}_{2},$ and this will prove that $g$ is continuously differentiable at $s.$

how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?

algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
