The height (h) of water flowing out of a tank decreases at a rate proportional to the square root of the height of water still in the tank. If h=9 at t=0 and h=4 at t=5, what is the water’s height at t=15? What is the physical interpretation of this?

Note: time, t, is measured in minutes, and height, h, is measured in metres. Let k>0, a constant. The differential equation to be solved is given by: dh/dt = - k(h)^0.5. Using 'separation of variables' gi...

How would 12 be represented in binary?

Decimal (the system you use everyday) is a base- 10 number system, meaning it only uses 10 digits: 0-9. - Binary is a base- 2 number system, meaning it only uses 2 digits: 0 and 1. - The decimal system's pla...

curve C with parametric equations x = 4 tan(t), y=5*3^(1/2)*sin(2t). Point P lies on C with coordinates (4*3^(1/2), 15/2). Find the exact value of dy/dx at the point P.

dy/dx = dy/dt *dt/dx (chain rule). x=4tan(t) hence dx/dt = 4 sec 2 (t) y = 5 3 1/2 sin(2t) hence y'= 10 3 1/2 cos(2t) therefore dy/dx = 10 3 1/2 cos(2t) / 4 sec 2 (t). Since P is on point with x=4 3 1/2 we c...

z = 4 /(1+ i) Find, in the form a + i b where a, b belong to R, (a) z, (b) z^2. Given that z is a complex root of the quadratic equation x^2 + px + q = 0, where p and q are real integers, (c) find the value of p and the value of q.

a) Need to multiply with conjugate to bring z to form a+ib. => z= z * (1-i)/(1-i) = (4-4i) / 2 = 2-2i b) z^2 = (2-2i)^2 = 4-8i+4 i^2 = 4-8i-4 = 8i since z is root of x^2+px+q=0 then z* (conjugate) is also...

Find the first derivative of r=sin(theta+sqrt[theta+1]) with respect to theta.

To find the first derivative we must apply the chain rule. Our aim is to find dr/d(theta). We start by bringing the differential of what's inside the sine brackets outside and multiplying it by the different...
