a positive integer is called tico if it is the product of three different prime number that add up to 74 . verify that 2014 is tico. which year will be the next tico year? which one will be the last tico year in the history?

Laplacian:

recall, sec2y=1+tan2y.
From the LHS,
sec2x-1=1+2(sec2y-1) or
sec2x=2sec2y or
cos2y=2cos2x or
cos2y=(2cos2x-1)+1, does the expression in the bracket look familiar? *****


u can also use the condition given above to dissolve the question @ sir laplacian.....
- i used it ....


That's cos2x.
So, cos2y=cos2x+1
or
cos2y-1=cos2x
can u finish it from here? Hop it helps!

Mathematicians in the house, Pls solve this
The transformation equations from ashy to cartesian coordinates are
X=e^u.secvcoshw
Y=e^u.tanvcoshw
Z=e^usinhw.
If f=f(x,y,z) is a differentaible function and H=y.df/dx+x.df/dy+df/dz, derive an appropriate expression for H in ashy coordinates.

Laplacian:
Mr. A can complete a farm work in t1 hours. Mr. B can finish the same work in t2 hours. How would it take them if they worked together?
In an hour,
Mr A must have done (1/t_1) times the work
Mr B - (1/t_2) times the work
so, in an hour, both of them working together must have done (1/t_1+1/t_2) times the work
so, working together, they completes the work in 1 / (1/t_1 + 1/t_2) hours. This is the same as t1t2/(t1+t2) hours.

@Laplacian and others, please feel free to criticize.

Laplacian:
Mr. A can complete a farm work in t1 hours. Mr. B can finish the same work in t2 hours. How would it take them if they worked together?

Let the farm work done be 1 farmwork. Hence the rate at which Mr. A works is 1/t1 (Work/hrs). Similarly Mr. B's rate since the quantity of work is similar (1 farm work) is 1/t2.

Hence both of them working together would accomplish 1/t3 rate.

= 1/t1 + 1/t2 = 1/t3

I'm sure you can take it from there.

Laplacian:

Mr A's farm work per hr = 1/t1

Mr B's farm work per hr = 1/t2

A and B working together = 1/t1+ 1/t2
= t1t2/(t2 + t1)

Hope this helps.

hay guys...try this cheep 1 .

A box contains a 10-kobo piece ,a 5-kobo piece and a 1-kobo piece. Two coins are drawn , one at a time with replacement .
What is the probability that
i) the two coins are not of same value
ii )they are of same value .?



happy Sunday .



Let T, F, O represent the 10kobo,5kobo and 1kobo notes respectively.

The probability of picking anyone of them is. 1/3 and pr of not picking anyone is 2/3.

Pr ( they are not of the same colour)
Implies pr ( TF) or pr (TO)or pr(FO)
= (1/3 *1/3) + (1/3*1/3) + (1/3*1/3)
= 1/9 + 1/9 +1/9
=3/9
= 1/3.


Pr( same value)
Implies pr (TT) or pr (FF) or pr (OO)
= (1/3*1/3) + (1/3*1/3) + (1/3*1/3)
=1/9+1/9+1/9
=3/9
=1/3.

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 9:20pm On Jan 16, 2015
The solution to the question:
x+y=5 --------------(1)
x^x+y^y=31 --------------(2)
therefore by breaking down equation 2 we have x^x+y^y=2^2+3^3. By equating, we have x^x=2^2 and y^y=3^3. So x=2(twice) and y=3(twice)

Maths gurus pls help me solve the simultaneous equations

x + y =5
x^x + y^y=31
the simplest way of solving it is by breaking down eqn 2.i.e x^x+y^y=2^2+3^3,now by equating we have x^x=2^2 and y^y=3^3.Therefore x=2 and y=3.

1. The equation of motion of a forced oscillation is d2y/dt+2dy/dt
+5y=4sin5t solve the equation given that t=0 ,y=0 and dy/dt=0.
(2)determine the equation of the curve which satisfies the equation
xydy/dx=x^2-1 which passes. thru point (1,2)........abeg

check this out
Q1.
Hint: Obtain the auxiliary equation and solve the L.H.S
ie
m2 + 2m + 5=0
m=-1+2i or -1-2i
thus the first soln becomes
Y(t)=e^-t (Asin2t +B cos 2t)
since an expression in sine already appears in the soln the R.H.S is solved as thus.
Y=Ctsint +Dtsin
# Differentiate the above to the second power and order
# substitute values to the actual equation given in the Question

#compare coeficient and obtain a general equation in C and D
# combine the general solution of the LHS and RHS
#Input the given boundry condition

rashywire:

if (x-y)^3 = A(x+y), prove d@ (2x+y)dy/dx = x+2y
source: KA STROUD FURTHER PROBLEM 7

given that:
(x-y)^3 = A(x+y),
the derivative wrt x is:
3(x-y)^2 (1-dy/dx)=A(1+dy/dx)
And since
A=(x-y)^3/(x+y)
then
3(x-y)^2 (1-dy/dx)=((x-y)^3/(x+y))(1+dy/dx)
3(x+y)(1-dy/dx)=(x-y)(1+dy/dx)
3(x+y)-3(x+y)(dy/dx)=(x-y)+(x-y)(dy/dx)
((y-x)-3(x+y))(dy/dx)=(x-y)-3(x+y)
2(-y-2x)(dy/dx)=2(-x-2y)
(2x+y)(dy/dx)=x+2y which is the required relation.

Given that:
arccosa+arccosb+arccosc=π

arccosa+arccosb=π-arccosc

Take sin of both sides

sin(arccosa+arccosb)=sin(π-arccosc)

sin(arccosa)cos(arccosb)+ cos(arccosa)sin(arccosb) =sinπ.cos(arccosc)- cosπ.sin(arccosc)

√(1-cos^2(arccosa)) cos(arccosb)+ cos(arccosa) √(1-cos^2(arccosb)) =sinπ.cos(arccosc)- cosπ. √(1-cos^2(arccosc))

b√(1-a^2)+a√(1-b^2)=√(1-c^2)

Similarly since we can rewrite the equation as:
arccosa+arccosc=π-arccosb

We have that:

c√(1-a^2)+a√(1-c^2)=√(1-b^2)

c√(1-a^2)-√(1-b^2)=-a√(1-c^2)

on solving for √(1-a^2) in the simultaneous equations below (using Crammer's rule):

b√(1-a^2)+a√(1-b^2)=√(1-c^2) ...1

c√(1-a^2)-√(1-b^2)=-a√(1-c^2) ...2

We have that:

√(1-a^2)=(-√(1-c^2)+a^2.√(1-c^2))/(-b-ac)

√(1-a^2)=(√(1-c^2)-a^2.√(1-c^2)/(b+ac)

(b+ac)√(1-a^2)=(1-a^2)√(1-c^2)

On squaring both sides:
(b+ac)^2.(1-a^2)=(1-a^2)^2.(1-c^2)

And dividing thru by (1-a^2)
(b+ac)^2=(1-a^2)(1-c^2)

b^2+2abc+a^2.c^2=1-a^2-c^2+a^2.c^2

b^2+2abc=1-a^2-c^2

a^2+b^2+c^2 +2abc=1
