Laplacian:
w= (z+2j)/(z+j), w(z+j)=z+2j or

z=(2j+wj)/(w-1)=[(u+2)j-v]/[(u-1)+vj] or
taking conjugates;
z=[(u+2)j-v]*[(u-1)-vj]/[(u-1)^2+v^2]

={[(u-1)(u+2)+v^2]j+[-uv+v(u+2)]}/[(u-1)^2+v^2]
so
x=[-uv+v(u+2)]/[(u-1)^2+v^2]
and
y=[(u-1)(u+2)+v^2]/[(u-1)^2+v^2]

if u make this substitution u 'll get the centre
Thanks a lot! cheesy

Given that:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina=π-arcsinb-arcsinc

Take the cosine of both sides:

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-arcsinb-arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-(arcsinb+arcsinc))

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb+arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb)cos(arcsinc)+ sin(arcsinb)sin(arcsinc)

√(1-sin^2(arcsina))=
-(√(1-sin^2(arcsinb))
√(1-sin^2(arcsinc)))+
sin(arcsinb).sin(arcsinc)

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

and similarly the following is derived:

b√(1-b^2)=-b√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+abc...2

c√(1-c^2)=-c√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+abc...3

On adding up:

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+3abc ...4

Going back to the original equatn:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina+arcsinb=π-arcsinc
On taking the sine of both sides

sin(arcsina+arcsinb)=
sin(π-arcsinc)

sin(arcsina)cos(arcsinb)+ sin(arcsinb)cos(arcsina) =c

a.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-a^2) =c ...5

and similarly the followin is derivd
a.√(1-c^2)+c.√(1-a^2) =b ...6

c.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-c^2) =a ...7

And hence multiply 5 by
√(1-c^2), 6 by √(1-b^2) and 7 by √(1-a^2) the followin results:

a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)=c.√(1-c^2) ...8

a.√(1-c^2).√(1-b^2) +c.√(1-a^2).√(1-b^2) =b√(1-b^2) ...9

c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-c^2). √(1-a^2)=a.√(1-a^2) ...10

On adding up

2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) =
a.√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-b^2)+
c.√(1-c^2) ...11

On multiplyn equatn 4 by 2 we av:

2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+6abc

on substituting the value of:
2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) from equatn 11

The following results:
2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-a^2)-b.√(1-b^2)-
c.√(1-c^2) +6abc

3a√(1-a^2)+3b√(1-b^2)+3c√(1-c^2) =6abc

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =2abc

QED!

Too long! Any shortcut solutions!?
Just right.

thanks so much sir...but why did you assume "a" to be 20?
It wasnt an assumption......"a" represents the initial term, which in this case is 20.

this is just excellent.... Although I don't know the answer yet cos its an assignment but WAO.#respect..

EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by AlphaMaximus(m):
bolkay47:
the question is on GP....it should somehow form a sequence. That's what I don't understand.
alright.....well in that case, this is how it goes:
We have info that field is depleted by 0.1% with each swipe of the cutlass, thus each swipe leaves the field devoid of 1/1000th its preceding area.
Therefore, mathematically, the first term, a=20, the ratio , r=1/1000, and the number of terms/swipes, n=60........in this case since we are interested in the amount left from whole, we subtract "r" from 1 and we have : 1-1/1000= 999/1000.....lets call 999/1000 "R".....then we use the formula Sremainder= a (R)n and we have:
Sremainder= 20*(999/1000)60=18.83472524
To further corroborate the validity of the formula, lets examine a case where each flow of a pipe depletes a 1,000,000litre tank by 1/4.......the first time, 250,000(one-fourth of 1,000,000) will be removed leaving 750,000,the second time, 187,500 (one-fourth of 750,000), leaving 562,500, the third time,140,625(one-fourth of 562,500), will be removed leaving 421,875
.....instead of this rather cumbersome approach, the previously used formula can be used to attain the 421,875 litres left......a=1,000,000 and n=3, and R=1-r=1-1/4=3/4....therefore;
Sremainder=a(R)n=1,000,000*(3/4)3=421,875 litres. Thus, the method is justified.

jackpot:
hmmm. I can see the mathematics. But. . .

Let's take another look.

Given y'+y=0, differentiating both sides w.r.t. x gives a new differential equation
y''+y'=0.

It is really a heresy to say that both differential equations are equivalent since y'+y=0 has the solution y=C e-x, whereas y''+y'=0 has the solution y=C1+C2e-x.


Because y'+y=0 is easier to handle and it's solution satisfies y''+y'=0, I can not conclude that both differential equations has the same (general) solution.

So, I will say that the two differential equations you compared are not equivalent.

Or, what do you think?

I thought as much huh

V/T1 + V/T2 = V/T3 .............(i)

Where V/T is the rate of flow

T2 = T1 - 5 = T3 + 18
T2 = T1 - 5
T3 + 18 = T1 - 5
T3 = T1 - 23

Substituting into (i)

V/T1 + V/(T1 - 5) = V/(T1 - 23)
1/T1 + 1/(T1 - 5) = 1/(T1 - 23)
(2T1 - 5)/(T12 - 5T1) = 1/(T1 - 23)

T12 - 46T1 + 115 = 0

T1 = 43.347 hrs or 2.653 hrs
hmmmm....a welcome approach...looks more technical than mine...

Your solution might be right. It is not compulsory to have a whole no as an answer. Just convert your decimal part to terms of Minutes and Seconds

Hello house , kindly help out with ds. Thanks in anticipation:
A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The
first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank
in the same time during which the tank is filled by
the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5
hours faster than the first pipe and 18 hours slower
than the third pipe. The time required by the first is?
alright,here it is:
let the fluid dissipation time of the first,second and third pipes be x,y and z respectively. from the info,when work is done(the filling of the tank) jointly by the first and second pipes the time taken is equivalent to the time taken by the third pipe working independently.
mathematically,the formula for the time taken to complete work when two entities work jointly is: xy/x+y.......in that case, we have that:
xy/x+y=z.......(1)
Again,it was stated that the second pipe is 5hrs faster than the first and 18hrs slower than the third, mathematically:
y=x-5, thus x=y+5.....(2)
And,
y=z+18, thus , z= y-18...(3)
substituting (2) and (3) into (1) and simplifying, we have:
y2-36y-90=0, and solving the quadratic equation ,we have that y=38.374.....recall that x=y+5, therefore,x=38.347+5=43.347hrs......thus the time required by the first pipe is 43.347hrs......for accuracy, it's 43.34698995hrs

Are you sure u typed in all the values correctly? because the answer I have gotten is a decimal and I think I ought not to have decimals since the others are integers. Confirm please. huh
