Find the area under the curve y=xexp(-x)

first recognise ‘area under’ = integrationfunction is a product so by partsset x=u; exp(-x)=dv/dx integral(udv/dx)=uv-integral(vdu/dx)
du/dx =1; v=-exp(-x)ans=(x.-exp(-x))-integral(1.exp(-x)dx)ans=-x...

Using z=cos(θ)+isin(θ), find expressions for z^n-1/z^n and z^n+1/z^n

We make use of De Moivre's Theorem which states that (cos(θ)+isin(θ))^n=cos(nθ)+isin(nθ).z^n-1/z^n=cos(nθ)+ isin(nθ)-cos(-nθ)- isin(-nθ)=cos(nθ)+ isin(nθ)-cos(nθ)+ isin(nθ) (by trig relat...
