Show that cosh^2(x)-sinh^2(x)=1

In exponential form, sinh^2(x)=1/4(e^2x+e^-2x-2), cosh^2(x)=1/4(e^2x+e^-2x+2). Therefore cosh^2(x)-sinh^2(x)=1/4(2-(-2))=4/4=1, as required.

Why is the argument of a+bi equal to arctan(b/a)?

Think about the point a+bi on the complex plane. Specifically, a is how far along the x (real) axis, and b is how far up the y (imaginary) axis the point is. If you draw a line connecting the origin and t...

Find the first three non-zero terms of the Taylor series for f(x) = tan(x).

We have that the Taylor series of a function infinitely differentiable at a x = a is given by the expansion: f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a) + f''(a

The quadratic equation x^2-6x+14=0 has roots alpha and beta. a) Write down the value of alpha+beta and the value of alpha*beta. b) Find a quadratic equation, with integer coefficients which has roots alpha/beta and beta/alpha.

a) We know that, for a general quadratic equation that can be written as : ax2+bx+c=0, the sum of its roots (S) is equal to -b/a and the product of its roots (P...
