A tautochrone curve or isochrone curve (from Ancient Greek ταὐτό 'same' ἴσος 'equal' and χρόνος 'time') is the curve for which the time taken by an object sliding without friction in uniform gravity to its lowest point is independent of its starting point on the curve.
Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:
The clock itself runs at constant speed. The user calculates solar time by adding the equation of time to the clock reading. Later equation clocks, made in the 18th century, perform the compensation automatically, so the clock directly shows solar time. Some of them also show mean time, which is often called "clock time".
The Rubik's clock is listed as one of the 17 WCA events, with records for fastest time to solve one puzzle, and the fastest average time to solve 5 puzzles (discarding the slowest and fastest times). The puzzle is unique in the WCA in that it is the only puzzle for which viable speedsolving methods have been devised that always solve it in God ...
An animated example solve has been made for each of them. The scrambling move sequence used in all example solves is: U2 B2 R' F2 R' U2 L2 B2 R' B2 R2 U2 B2 U' L R2 U L F D2 R' F'. Use the buttons at the top right to navigate through the solves, then use the button bar at the bottom to play the solving sequence. Example solves.
To compute the integral, we set n to its value and use the reduction formula to express it in terms of the (n – 1) or (n – 2) integral. The lower index integral can be used to calculate the higher index ones; the process is continued repeatedly until we reach a point where the function to be integrated can be computed, usually when its index is 0 or 1.
The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock. A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute. The minute hand rotates through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute. [1]
Euler substitution is a method for evaluating integrals of the form (, + +), where is a rational function of and + +. In such cases, the integrand can be changed to a rational function by using the substitutions of Euler.
