Draw the I-V curves of both an ideal resistor and a filament bulb. Explain the key features of both.

Plot: I-V curve of an ideal resistor is a straight line with a positive gradient passing through (0,0)The I-V curve of an ideal resistor is a straight line because ideal resistors strictly obey Ohm's law ...

The equation " x^3-3x+1=0 " has three real roots. Show that one of the roots lies between −2 and −1

A simple way to prove this is to sub in the values that we are given. so f(x) will represent our equation x^3-3x+1 (that is f(x) = x^3-3x+1)f(-2) = -1 < 0f(-1) = 3 > 0The first thing we notice is th...

Solve x^2 + x=12 by factorising

Start off with:x2+x=12Subtract 12 from both sides:x2+x-12=0Factorise:(x-3)(x+4)=0Solution is therefore:x=3 or x=-4
