Simpson Rule/ Formula in laymans terms.?

I don't think the concept you are talking about goes by the name of "Simpson's rule", not sure what its called but it should be (MO + ML*4 + MP)/6 or with your example (2+4*4+6)/6=4\n\nSimpson's rule on the other hand has to do with approximating integrals (the area under a curve).  Which unfortunately its been a few years and I haven't retained that information.\n\nAnd maybe I'm wrong and there are 2 Simpson's rules, it's possible...

The general formula for an ordinary annuity is\n\nFV = PMT * (((1 + i) ^n - 1) / i)\n\nwhere\nFV = future value\nPMT = Amount of each payment\ni = interest rate per period\nn = number of periods\n\nWith the semi-annual version, take the annual rate and divide by 2.  Multiply the number of years by 2 to get n.

yea, multiplying the single event probabilities of two independent events to get the prob of the independent events conjunction is correct. In other words (to avoid you going to grab an Advil already): p(A&B)=p(A)*P(B) assuming A and B two independent events. That's BASIC stats.\n\nIn excel, use the function POWER. First argument the probability, second argument the number of occurence in a row.

You might try searching the web, that is free.  I would suggest starting at:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page\n\nThey have all sort of formulas and a fairly simple search engine.

Depends on the industry.  No set formula that I know of.

By definition, you would do the following:\n\nf'(x) = lim(h->0) (f(x+h) - f(x))/h\nf'(x) = lim(h->0) ((3(x+h) - 3x)/h\nf'(x) = lim(h->0) 3h/h\nf'(x) = lim(h->0) 3\nf'(x) = 3\n\nOr, you could simply do use the following fomulas:\n\nd/dx[af(x)] = a(d/dx[f(x)])\nd/dx[x^n] = nx^(n-1)\n\nd/dx[3x] = 3(d/dx[x]) = 3(d/dx[x^1]) = 3*(1*x^0) = 3\nf'(x) = 3

Well i cannot write the whole formula here but check the link below

Way to go Arbitrage!  Oh to funny guy- yeah we get that E=MC2  IS a formula- but if you really want to "get it" Check out Maxwells equations. It's a great time to be a science nerd with all this info pouring in now! Figure it out & go up one on Albert!

I think you mean\n\nS = A - RT/(1-R)\ntake A  to the left and negate\n\nA- S = RT/(1-R)\nmutiltply by (1-R) on both sides\n\n(A-S)(1-R) = RT\nor (A-S) -R(A-S) = RT\ntake R term to the right\n\nA- S = R(T+A-S)\n\nso R = (A-S)/(T+A-S)

It completely depends on where you are using this formula, is it in Excel? A program? What language?\n\nWe need more info.

x+2/x-2 \n= (x^2 - 2x + 2)/x [BODMAS rule]\nSo Eric is correct.

Hello,\nI am only in 10th grade. I never heard about nominals or ordinals... percentage is simple, Suppose u want to find the profit%, it will be (profit/Cost price)*100.. Read some lower class maths books. They will help u get ur basics right.\nCumulative frequency can be of two types, less than C.F and Greater than C.F..... Lets use the following data table...\n\n class ....... frequency ....... C.F. (less than)\n 0-10  ........... 3 ............. 3\n 10-20 ........... 5 ............. 5 + 3 = 8\n 20-30 ........... 3 ............. 8 + 3 = 11\n 30-40 ........... 8 ............. 11 + 8 = 19\n\nSo u see, u just have to add the frequencies in less-than C.F... in greater than C.F... U have to add all the frequencies and then subtract the individual frequencies from it...\n Total sum of frequency = 3 + 5 + 3 + 8 = 19\n class ......... frequency ......... C.F.(Greater than)\n 0-10  ............ 3 ............... 19 - 3 = 16\n 10-20 ............ 5 ............... 19 - (5+3) = 11\n 20-30 ............ 3 ............... 19 - (8+3) = 8\n 30-40 ............ 8 ............... 19 - (11+8)= 0...

It's a calculation called the r value.  The link below shows how to calculate it.  If you take a college level statistics class you'll learn how to do it with a good calculator.

In order to take h'(x), you need to perform the product rule on the first term because it is multiplied, thus:\n\nh'(x) = d(sin[pi*x])/dx[f(x)] + sin[pi*x][f'(x)] + g'(x)\n\nSimplifying, you get:\n\nh'(x) = pi*cos[pi*x][f(x)] + sin[pi*x][f'(x)] + g'(x)\n\nTherefore, h'(5) = (pi)cos[5pi](f(5)) + sin[5pi](f'(5)) + g'(5)\nh'(5) = pi(-1)(3) + (0)(1) + 0\n\nTherefore, h'(5) = -3*pi\n\n-----------\n\nHope this helps

Specifically, I do not know.  However the principal of a slide rule is that it utilizes natural logs of numbers.  Specifically, the natural log of the product of two numbers is the inverse log of the sum of the two logs... or, in normal terms...\n\nln(a*b) = exp( ln(a) + ln(b) );\n\nSo the way to do this on a slide rule is to add the two natural logs together and then calculate the inverse..

Use L'Hospitals rule\nd(sin ax)/d( bx)\na*cos(ax)/b lim x----> 0  = a/b
