Continuity on a closed interval 2014-09-21
From Pragya:
The trouble I'm having is as follows :
a continuous function is most of the times defined on a closed interval, but how is it possible to define it on a closed interval ,because to be continuous at endpoints of the interval the function's limit must exist at that endpoint,for which it has to be defined in its neighborhood,but we don't know anything about whether the function is always defined in the neighborhood.
Please help...

Is a line lying in a plane an open or a closed region? 2013-02-13
From pardeep:
please help with this question on the open and closed intervals :: Is a line lying in a plane an open or a closed region? my teacher says it is a closed region reasoning out that it contains all it boundary points. please help how is it so?

Differentiable on an interval 2010-08-12
From Dave:
Hi I was wondering if a function can be differentiable at its endpoint. For example if I have Y = X^2 and it is bounded on closed interval [1,4], then is the derivative of the function differentiable on the closed interval [1,4] or open interval (1,4). They always say in many theorems that function is continuous on closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on open interval (a,b) and an example of this is Rolle's theorem. Thank you for your help.

A line from the center of the patch to the periphery 2005-01-01
From Sandrine:
I am currently researching a patch disease of grasses. These patches are roughly circular. I need a term for a line from the center of the patch to the periphery. Since the patches are not perfectly circular, my supervisors tell me I cannot use the word 'radius'. What else could I use?

Finite differences 2003-02-10
From Jenny:

I need to find a formula that will work with any number.
I am finding the volume of a 3d cross- shape. Here are my results so far:

Term Number      0   1    2    3     4      5
nth term         1    7   25   63   129    231
1rst diff           6   18   38   66     102
2nd diff              12    20   28   36
3rd diff                  8     8    8

I can't seem to find a formula that will work with any number. Any help would be much appreciated.
