How to find a modulus and argument of w that is a quotient of z1 and z2 such that z1 = 1 + root(3)i and z2 = 1+ i using modulus-argument form?

First of all, transform both z₁and z₂ into modulus-argument form. To obtain that form, you are going to need a modulus (the length of the hypotenuse on the Argand diagram) and argum...

Given the parametric equations x = lnt+t and y = sint calculate d^2y/dx^2

First we can write d²y/dx² as (d/dx)(dy/dx). Now we need to find dy/dx. This can be further written as (dy/dt)(dt/dx). These derivatives can be obtained from the given parametric equ...
