Why is the definite integral between negative limits of a function with positive values negative even though the area bound by the x-axis is positive? for example the integral of y=x^2 between x=-2 and x=-1

Referring back to the definition of an integral, it is the sum of small elements on the x-axis (dx) multiplied by the value of the function at that point (y) commonly expressed as the sum of ydx. Since x is ...

what is electronegativity and explain the trend in electronegativity as we go down the group?

Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond towards itself. As we go down the group, electronegativity decreases because the atomic radii increases. The atomic radii inc...

What is the maximum frequency photon of one of the photons produced when a electron and positron annihilate each other?

First we must remember that a positron is the antiparticle of the electron, meaning that they will both have the same amount of rest energy (0.510999 MeV) however since annihilation produces 2 gamma photons ...

How do I differentiate a pair of parametric equations?

I would guide the student through the process, as this will be far more beneficial to their learning rather than just telling them the answer. So first I'd ask what would happen if they differentiated them i...
