I must be missing something here. The derivatives of the inverse trig functions seemed pretty straightforward but none of my answers are even close to the ones in the book. Hopefully somebody can show me how to work through this one and I can try to do the rest once I see a good example.
In my calculus class, we're working on proofs, but i'm having so much trouble with them. Specifically, with proving continuous functions and integrals. I am so confused by how this was explained in class. Can someone help me with these two problems please???
I've been having a lot of grief lately with limits and therefore the foundations of calculus. It's not that I don't understand what limits are. I could move on perfectly well not knowing why a limit works, just knowing the rules for evaluating them. My problem is that I don't understand the details of how and why they work. I understand the

So I was reading about Stoke's and Gauss's laws, and I was curious if there are analogous laws for other dimensions. For example, can you jump from a four dimensional integral to a five dimensional integral by using the proper combinations of curls and gradients? Most of my experience with vector calculus has been for more mundane things like
