How to enter ‘ (prime) in WeBWorK on your iPhone

April 11, 2019 / Jonas Reitz / 0 Comments

By default, the iPhone automatically converts straight quotes like this: ‘
into smart quotes, like this ` . You need to turn this functionality off in order to enter the prime (straight quote) symbol in WeBWorK. The short version is:

To turn smart punctuation off, all you have to do is go to Settings > General > Keyboard, and then turn off the “Smart Punctuation” toggle.

Calculating confidence interval while fitting multiple datasets simultaneously.
I am dealing with six experimental datasets of two species interaction and I want to fit these six datasets to a coupled ode system simultaneously to get a set of estimated parameters and corresponding C.I. While I am trying to do above I am not able to fit them altogether. Can any one tell which […]
Best way to decouple a system of second-order ODE
Consider if there is some position vector $\mathbf{r}=(x,y,0)$, with its velocity given by the pointwise derivative. For some external frequency vector $\boldsymbol{\Omega}=(0,0,\Omega)$, suppose the Lagrangian is given by $$\mathscr{L}=\frac{1}{2}|\dot{\mathbf{r}}|^2+\boldsymbol{\Omega}\cdot(\mathbf{r}\times\dot{\mathbf{r}})+\frac{1}{2}\omega_0^2|\mathbf{r}|^2$$ So the Lagrangian can then be expressed as $$\mathscr{L}=\frac{1}{2}(\dot{x}^2+\dot{y}^2)+x\dot{y}\Omega+\frac{1}{2}\omega_0^2(x^2+y^2) $$ And by the First Euler-Lagrange Equation, that is, $$\partial_{q^i}\mathscr{L}-\frac{d \partial_{\dot{q}^i}\mathscr{L}}{dt}=0 $$ it turns out the equations […]
Writing a general solution to differential equation with Bessel functions
Consider a mass $m$ is placed on a horizontal level surface and attached to a spring, whose other end is attached to a vertical wall. The mass moves in a viscous medium, where the resistance force acting on it is proportional to the velocity: $\vec{F}_p=-\gamma\vec{\nu}$, where $\gamma$ is a known positive constant. Due to aging, […]
Does topological conjugacy hold in the hyperbolic subspace of linearizations?
Suppose you have a nonlinear vector field $\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x})$ and a fixed point $\mathbf{x}'$ s.t. $\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}') = \mathbf{0}$. Let $\mathbf{f}'(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{A}(\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{x}')$ be the linearization of $\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x})$ about $\mathbf{x}'$. If the eigenvalues of $\mathbf{A}$ all have non-zero real part, then the fixed point is hyperbolic and the Hartman-Grobman theorem establishes topological conjugacy between the […]
Solution to Brachistocrone with friction
I want to solve the following equation $$\frac{1+y'^2}{(1+\mu y')^2}=\frac{C}{y-\mu x},$$ where $\mu\in (0,1)$ and $C$ are constants. The function $y$ satisfies $y(0)=0$ and $y(1)=1$. I saw that the change $y'=\cot (\theta/2)$ solves the problem. Using this i ended up with $$y-\mu x=\frac{1}{C}\left(\sin \theta/2+\mu\cos \theta/2\right)^2,$$ but from here i dont know how to conclude the problem.
Converting non exact homogeneous differential equation to exact [duplicate]
Let, $$M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0.....(1)$$ be a non exact homogeneous differential equation. My professor told that for such differential equations, we need to multiply it by, $$\frac{1}{Mx+Ny}$$ to convert it into an exact differential equation. However he never mentioned it's proof. I tried a proof by multiplying both sides of $(1)$ by the mentioned factor but the thing […]
Question about lower bound when solving Variation of Parameter IVPs
Lets say we are solving something like $y'-2xy=2$ for $y(0)=1$ when implementing variation of parameters the standard process is to identify the lower bound in the integral to be 0 so we would be doing some dummy variable integral from 0 to $x$ in this problem. I want to know the reasoning behind why we […]
Help Solving Second-Order ODE
I'm intrigued by the differential equation $$ y'' + ae^{-bx} y' + y = 0 $$ where a and b are constants. However, I'm unsure how to approach solving it. I attempted to use SymPy and obtained what seems to be a promising approximation. Here's the solution it provided (using a Taylor expansion of x […]
Recovering a linear ODE w/ constant coefficients given the roots of the auxiliary equation
I'm solving the following question: The auxiliary equation 𝑃(𝑚)=0 of a 5th order ordinary differential equation of the form 𝑃(𝐷)𝑦=0 yields the following solutions: 𝑚1=2 ; 𝑚2=6 (𝑚2 has algebraic multiplicity equal to 2 ); 𝑚3=8+$\sqrt{6}$𝑖 ; and 𝑚4=8−$\sqrt{6}$𝑖 . What is the differential equation? I have absolutely no idea how to go about answering […]
Give an example of an origin-passing function that is continuous not Lipschitz and its integral on a interval $[0,b]$, $b>0$ is infinite
Does there exist a function $f(x)$ such that it is continuous but not Lipschitz on $[0,b],b>0$ (not Lipschitz near $0$) and $f(0)=0, f(x) >0, \forall x \in (0,b]$. the integral $\int_{0}^{b}\frac{1}{f(x)}dx = \infty$. For example, the function $f(x) =x$ is Lipschitz on $[0,1],f(0) =0$ and the integral $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1}{x}dx = -\ln 0 = \infty$. The Lipschitz […]
