Ok, so p = 2, and not 8, but since they are multiplied, that doesn't make sense to me. I have been out of school for a long time. Now (book is 75years old), would we use some parenthesis or something to show the 2 and the 4 are separate entities?
This problem is from the book Calculus Made Easy by Silvanuws P. Thompson, copyright 1946 (3rd Ed.)
How on earth is answer not du/dt = 8u7?
The author uses a dot for showing both multiplication and as a divider between the ones column and the tenths column (see pics)
Thx
