Are the integers a group under addition? How about multiplication?

There are 4 things we need for a group: associativity, the existence of an identity, inverses in the group and closure. The integers are definitely associative under this operation as addition is associat...

The ODE mx'' + cx' + kx = 0 is used to model a damped mass-spring system, where m is the mass, c is the damping constant and k is the spring constant. Describe and explain the behaviour of the system for the cases: (a) c^2>4mk; (b) c^2=4mk; (c) c^2<4mk.

In the case c2>4mk, the characteristic equation has two distinct real roots; this represents overdamping. The system does not oscillate, and x approaches zero as time approaches infinity.In ...

How do I determine whether a system of 3 linear equations is consistent or not?

First, form the system into a 3x3 matrix using the coefficients. Find the determinant of this matrix.If the determinant =/= 0, then the matrix is singular and has a unique solution. The system is consiste...

Prove by induction that f(n) = 2^(k + 2) + 3^(3k + 1) is divisible by 7 for all positive n.

First we establish our base case: f(0) = 22 + 31 = 4 + 3 = 7, so clearly f(0) is divisible by 7.Now. by the inductive hypothesis. we assume that f(k) is divisible by 7, and attempt t...

How to solve a standard first order differential equation?

First we must ensure that the differential is i the standard form of y' + p(x) y = f(x)The we use the integration factor I(x) = e to the integral of p(x)we then realise that if we differentiate this we wi...
