What are imaginary numbers, and why do we bother thinking about them if they don't exist?

When studying anything in Mathematics, it is very easy to get lost in the technical details and lose sight of what everything really means on a conceptual level - that's why these kinds of questions are s...

Differentiate x = sinhy with respect to x

x = sinhy=> dx/dy = coshycosh2y - sinh2y = 1=> sqrt(1 + sinh2y) = coshythus dx/dy = sqrt(1 + sinh2y)and dy/dx = 1/sqrt(1 + sinh2y)hence dy/dx =...

Given that α= 1+3i is a root of the equation z^3 - pz^2 + 18z - q = 0 where p and q are real, find the other roots, then p and q.

All coefficients of z are real, therefore one root must be the complex conjugate so β = 1-3i.It is known that Σαβ = 18 (the coefficient of z), so we can get an equation in the third root, γ, as follows: Σ...

find an expression for the sum of the series of 1 + 1/2cosx + 1/4cos2x +1/8cos3x + ......

Firstly we can use the fact that cosx is the real part of e^ix. This means that the series above is the real part of the infinite series 1 + 1/2e^ix + 1/4e^2ix + ...... This means that we have an infinite...

Determine if these two vectors are perpendicular. a=[1,4,8], b=[0,6,-3]

Start by determining dot product. a.b = 1x0 + 4x6 + 8*-3 = 0as a.b = |a||b|cos(theta)cos(theta) = 0therefore theta = 90 degTherefore vectors are perpendicular
