What are Van der Waal forces ?

Van der Vaal forces are temporarily induced dipole forces. At any given time, the density of electrons in 1 atom will repel the electrons in another closely located atom, creating a dipole. Van der waal forc...

f(x)=12x^2e^2x - 14, find the x-coordinates of the turning points.

f(x)=(12x^2)(e^2x) - 14, so using the chain rule f'(x)=(24x)(e^2x) + (12x^2)(2e^2x).To find the turning points set f'(x)=0, so (24x)(e^2x) + (24x^2)(e^2x) = 0. Thus (24xe^2x)(1+x)=0. Thus x=0 or x=-1.

Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y - x = 1

Let's label the equations x 2 + y 2 = 25 (1) y - x = 1 (2). We can use substitution to solve this simultaneous equation. Let's make y the subject of the equation (2) and we get y = x + 1. Now, lets find y 2 ...

Explain three difficulties economists face when they try to measure unemployment accurately.

Unemployment, while useful in some cases, is inherently flawed as a metric for socio-economic progress. Official unemployment statistics fail to take into account the issue of hidden unemployment, defined as...
