What are imaginary numbers and why do we use them?


'Find the first derivative, with respect to x, of arctan(1/x) for non-zero real x. Hence show that the value of arctan(x)+arctan(1/x) is constant for all non-zero x, explicitly stating this constant in your final answer.' How do I solve this?


A spring with a spring constant k is connected to the ceiling. First a weight of mass m is connected to the spring. Deduce the new equilibrium position of the spring, find its equation of motion and hence deduce its frequency f.


Differentiate w.r.t x the expression arccos(x).
