The complex numbers Z and W are given by Z=3+3i and W=6-i. Giving your answers in the form of x+yi and showing how you clearly obtain them, find: i) 3Z-4W ii) Z*/W

i) 3Z-4WFor this question it is just the matter of substituting the complex numbers of Z and W into the equation. So, 3(4+3i)-4(6-i). Then multiply out the brackets to get 12+9i-24+4i. Finally simply to g...

Three forces, (15i + j) N, (5qi – pj) N and (–3pi – qj) N, where p and q are constants, act on a particle. Given that the particle is in equilibrium, find the value of p and the value of q. (Mechanics 1 June 2017)

As the particle is at rest, the net force acting on the particle must be equal to zero, i.e. Fres = 0Therefore, (15i + j) + (5qi - pj) + (-3pi - qj) = 0Collating 'i' terms: 15 + 5q - 3p = 0 (Equation 1...

Find dy/dx if y=(x^3)(e^2x)

Use product rule. Set u=x^3 and v=e^2x. Differentiate u and v. Then dy/dx = uv'+vu' = (3x^2)*(e^(2x))+(2x^3)(e^(2x)). This problem is best explained written on a whiteboard (it's difficult to give an expl...
