A source of green laser light has a wavelength of 560nm, what is its frequency? Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures and using the correct units.

1.) using the wave speed formula for an electromagnetic wave, c=fλ, (c=3.00x10^8 m/s)

f=c/λ where c=the speed of an electromagnetic wave.

f=(3.00x10^8)/(560x10^-9)= 5.36x10^14 Hz

(1.) f(x)=x^3+3x^2-2x+15. (a.) find the differential of f(x) (b.) hence find the gradient of f(x) when x=6 (c.) is f(x) increasing or decreasing at this point?

(1.) (a.) f’(x)=3x^2+6x-2

(b.) x=6 gradient=142

(c.) since f’(x)>0 at x=6, the function is increasing.

The equation x^3 - 3*x + 1 = 0 has three real roots; Show that one of the roots lies between −2 and −1

In order to prove that one real root of an equation is situated in a certain interval, we calculate the value of the function at the ends of the given interval. In the given case, f(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3*(-2) ...
