a) Find the general solution to the differential equation: f(x)=y''-12y'-13y=8. b) Given that when x=0, y=0 and y'=1, find the particular solution to f(x).

First consider y''-12y'-13y=0.

Try: y=e^mx. This gives y'=me^mxand y''=m²e^mx.

Substituting into the differntial equation we get: m²e

How do I write the function 3cosθ+4sinθ in the form Rsin(θ + α), where R and α are positive constants?

Split it up into steps:

Step 1: Use compound angle trigonometric formula to re-write Rsin(θ + α)

Since generally sin(θ ± φ) = sinθcosφ ± cosθsinφ

Rsin(θ + α) = R(sinθcosα + cos...
