Find the equation for the tangent to the curve y^3 + x^3 + 3x^2 + 2y + 8 = 0 at the point (2,1)

As the tangent has the same gradient as the curve at the particular point, we need to find the gradient of the curve. To find the gradient we need to differentiate. Due to there being two variables in this e...

Solve x^3=1 giving all the roots between -pi<=theta<=pi in exponential form

x^3=1=e^2(pi) i k x=e^2(pi) i k/3 The three roots are k=0 x=1 k=1 x=e^2(pi)*i/3 k=-1 x=e^-2(pi) i k/3

How does a capacitor work and how do I treat it in a circuit?

for a capacitor the equations you need to know are: Q=CV V=Vin*e^(t/RC) and E=1/2QV (with Q=charge/columbs, C= capacitance/Farads, V=voltage/volts, R=resitance/ohms, Vin=initial voltage when discharging/volt...
