Find the displacement function if the acceleration function is a=2t+5. Assume a zero initial condition of displacement and v=8 when t=1.

Integrating the acceleration function gives the velocity function v, as below:
v = t2 +5t +C1, where C1 is a constant.

Integrating the velocity func...

Given that the equation x^2 - 2x + 2 = 0 has roots A and B, find the values A + B, and A * B.

There are two obvious approaches here:
1. Solve the equation x2 - 2x + 2 = 0 to find A and B and then calculate the required values.

2. Or we can use the quicker method of ana...

The roots of the equation z^3 + 2z^2 +3z - 4 = 0, are a, b and c . Show that a^2 + b^2 +c^2 = -2

If the roots of this cubic equation are a, b and c, then the equation can be written(z - a)(z - b)(z - c) = 0multiplying this out gives:z^3 - az^2 - bz^2 - cz^2 + abz + acz + bcz - abcgrouping terms with ...

Prove that sum(k) from 0 to n is n(n+1)/2, by induction

Proof by induction involves making an assumption, and using that assumption to prove that the consecutive case follows the pattern. 

The key to this is realising that most questions follo...
