Find the Cartesian equation of a plane containing the points A(1, 7, -2) B(4, -3, 2) and C(7, 8, 9).

It can be shown that the equation of any plane can be given by r.n=a.n, where r = xi + yj + zk, n is a direction vector normal to the plane, and a is any point vector on the plane. a can be found easily (thr...

Write down the equations of the three asymptotes and the coordinates of the points where the curve y = (3x+2)(x-3)/(x-2)(x+1) crosses the axes.

Step 1: find the asymptotes There are two kinds of asymptotes we look for: vertical and horizontal .The vertical ones happen when y goes to negative or positive infinity, which is when the denominator of the...

How do I integrate (sin x)^6?

Letting z be the complex number cos x + i sin x, we will use the identities (z n + 1/z n ) = 2 cos nx and (z n - 1/z n ) = 2i sin nx. Both of these follow from De Moivre’s theorem and the odd and even proper...

Find the GS to the following 2nd ODE: d^2y/dx^2 + 3(dy/dx) + 2 = 0

Set up the auxiliary equation by letting (dy/dx) = m So we have: m 2 + 3m + 2 = 0 Solve for m and we get: (m+1)(m+2) = 0Therefore, m 1 =-1 and m 2 =-2 Now we see we have 2 different real numbers as the solut...

Prove De Moivre's by induction for the positive integers

First we check the formula for our first case, n=1 where (cosx + isinx) n =cosnx + isinnx (cosx + isinx) 1 = cos(1x) + isin(1x) - holds true for n=1 next we assume true for our case n=k(cosx + isinx) k = cos...
