Firstly, we note that z being a complex number can be expressed in the form z = a + bi. If we then take the complex conjugate of this expression, the real numbers remain the same (as they are their own...

Let me rephrase this question slightly:
 

"Find all the roots of the equation x^n - 1 = 0."

We know by the fundamental theorem of algebra that an nth degree ...

Say you have a differential equation of the form:
dy/dx + Py = Q , where P and Q are functions of x.
Remember that even if your equation doesn't initially look like this, you may be able to rea...

The asymptotes of a curve are the lines or curves that approach a given curve very closely without actually touching it. They make curve sketching much easier. You will probably only have asymptotes that ...

Let's begin by reviewing a fairly simple (linear) equation:

(1) y = 2x + 3

(1) describes the relationship between two variables, <...
