Let A, B and C be nxn matrices such that A=BC-CB. Show that the trace of A (denoted Tr(A)) is 0, where the trace of an nxn matrix is defined as the sum of the entries along the leading diagonal.


The complex number -2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6)I can be expressed in the form r*exp(iTheta), where r>0 and -pi < theta <= pi. By using the form r*exp(iTheta) solve the equation z^5 = -2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(6)i.


Explain why the equation tanx + cotx = 1 does not have real solutions.


The finite region bounded by the x-axis, the curve with equation y = 2e^2x , the y-axis and the line x = 1 is rotated through one complete revolution about the x-axis to form a uniform solid. Show that the volume of the solid is 2π(e^2 – 1)
