hey guys try this asap, also on it

obtain W(y1 , y2) (t) ...(i.e wronskian )

if y1 and y2 are two solutions of

t^2 y"+2t^3 y' -t^-2 y=0

This is elementary.

Defining the Wronskian as [img]http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/Wronskian_files/eq0036M.gif[/img]

The differential equation is:
t2y" +2t3y' - t2y = 0

First we divide all through by the coefficient of the second derivative (y" ) which leaves us with:

y" +2ty' - y = 0

Applying the Wronskian defined above we get:
W = c*e-∫2t dt
W = c* e-t^2
(Because the integral (anti derivative) of 2t = t2 + C)
W = c* e-t^2
where c is an arbitrary nonzero constant.
That's all.
Cheers.

good Job Bro. I would have posted the solution before you but i taught it should be more complex lol. it was just two lines. t^2y"+2t^3y'-t^-2y=0...divide 2ru by t^2...y"+2ty'-t^-4y=0...what i need here is just {2t}...W=ce^-$2tdt..-$2t=t^2+c..thus W=ce^-t^2..

^^i read it sometimes back(just roughly during first semester holiday i think). i am very happy that i recalled the formula without much racking of brain. cool

Something simple:
Find the limit of tan (x)cos(x) as x tends to π/2
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by elmajor(m): 2:00pm On Nov 02, 2015
Vixxie:
Looks pretty straightforward to me.



First, we should note: if, for example, 200ml of 30% conc is added to 200ml of water, it gives 400ml of x% conc (more diluted)
200/400 = x/30; x=15% conc

1 part of 35% conc added to 11 parts of water gives 3% conc.
, i.e. 1 part can be any volume, but we can assume 1 ml for now.
1/(x+1) = 3/35
x = 32
for 11 parts of water; we can have
3/(3 + (32/11).11) = 3/35
where 32/11 = ~3, which makes sense for 1 part of 3ml of solution and 11 parts of 3ml of water

1 part of 12% conc added to 3 parts of water gives 3% conc.
1:4= 3:12
where 4 = 3 parts of water + 1 part of solution

how to get 12% conc from 35% conc?
1 part of 35% conc, how many parts of water to get 12%?

1/(x+1) = 12/35

x = (35-12)/12 = 23/12 = ~2 parts of water

Ans: ~2 parts of water.

Anyways, I love maths and this was a good one to do! cheesy
U're pretty good. But the answer to the question is not an approximation. U may have to adopt another approach.

Is that tan(x^cos(x)) or (tanx)^(cosx)?

The second: (tanx)(cosx)
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 2:54pm On Nov 02, 2015
Karmanaut:

Hmm... tricky.
Answer is most likely 1 though.
There's no answer @π/2 since tanx will be undefined. The tan curve is a crazy one. But as x approaches π/2 from the left and tanx begins to go to +infinity while cosx goes to zero, limit tends to 1.
Also, as x approaches π/2 from the right, and tanx again begins to go to -infinity and cosx to 0, limit goes to 1.
I can show a detailed calculation if you want, but i think this demonstrates the concept. smiley

I only solved from intuition and i think I'm close. Looking at the question though, the answer is most likely 2 parts. I managed to search through Google and got this interesting result

The answer is 1.
But I want to see how you solved it.

There's a way to solve it without L'Hopital's rule.

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 3:58pm On Nov 02, 2015
agentofchange1:
ok boss lets see it,
Easy.
Set tan(x) as sin(x)/cos(x)
So you'll rewrite the question as:
limx->π/2 sinxcosx/cosxcosx
Then you substitute π/2 for x.
Since sinx^cosx= 1^0 =1 and
Since cosxcosx resolves to 0^0 which is mathematically undefined (0 or 1, depending on who you ask) substitute y for cosx.
So you have 0/y^y
Then using the exponential function the denominator becomes elny^y
which is ey*lny
Since y = cos π/2 = 0
we have:
e0
which is 1.
So we have 1/1
= 1.
Done.

The answer can be got without first consulting any source.
By the way, u know about hydrogen peroxide? What can u say about the product?

Yes, the answer is a whole number and not approximation. I actually want a step by step process to arrive at the number. The formula u used did not give the exact number. Ur answer is just close.

Can you solve this abstract algebra
1. Consider the ring of integers and its ideal 5Z . find the quotient ring Z/5Z.
2. Show that (Z×Z, + ×) is a cumulative ring with unity.
