Find the general solution to the second order differential equation x'' - 2x' + x = e^(2t).

Firstly, note that the question only asks for the general solution (G.S.) to the equation, not for the whole solution. Now we have established what we need to find, construct the auxiliary equation. For this...

Find the modulus-argument form of the complex number z=(5√ 3 - 5i)

The easiest way to complete questions of these types is to first sketch an Argand diagram. With 5√ 3 on the x (real) axis and -5 on the y (imaginary) axis, the modulus would be calculated simply by using pyt...

Can you express 3 + 4j in polar form?

First, let's imagine the point 3 + 4j as a point on an Argand diagram, with coordinates 3,4. The polar form of an imaginary number is in the form re^(jθ), where r is the modulus of the number (the distance b...

How do you prove by induction?

First you prove the case n=1 is true. Then you assume that n=k is true, then calculate what n=k+1 is. This should prove true, so that by induction, you have proved that the statement is true for all natural ...

Find the general solution of: y'' + 4y' + 13y = sin(x)

First we find the auxilary equation by substituting y with m^0, y' with m^1 and y'' with m^2. We get m^2 + 4m + 13 and find the roots using the differential equation, m = (-4 +- (16-4x1x13)^0.5)/(2x1). From ...
