How do you prove by induction?

First you prove the case n=1 is true. Then you assume that n=k is true, then calculate what n=k+1 is. This should prove true, so that by induction, you have proved that the statement is true for all natur...

Find the general solution of: y'' + 4y' + 13y = sin(x)

First we find the auxilary equation by substituting y with m^0, y' with m^1 and y'' with m^2. We get m^2 + 4m + 13 and find the roots using the differential equation, m = (-4 +- (16-4x1x13)^0.5)/(2x1).

If the equation of a curve is x^2 + 9x + 8 = y, then differentiate it.

First we must establish how to differentiate terms individually. This is done by using the simple method of multiplying the X by the power, and subtracting one away from the power. To make it easier we wi...
