EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by rhydex247(m): 6:59pm On Nov 26, 2013
Mikebis: time to shw ma talent..here is d solutn
1.four vectors a,b,c nd d are said to b coplanar if nd only if there xist scalars p,q,v,s(not all zero)
such dat pa+qb+vc+sd=0
where p+q+v+s=0
since we are nt gvn d equatn of d vector,to shw dat d equatn is equal to zero.we slv 4 dat
3i-2j+4k=a
6i+3j+k=b
5i+3j+3k=c
2i+2j+6k=d
d vector eqn is
-a+b-c+d=0
sub 4 a,b,c nd d
-(3i-2j+4k)+(6i+3j+k)-(5i+7j+3k)+(2i+2j+6j)=0
-3i+2j-4k+6i+3j+k-5i-7j-3k+2i+2j+6k=0
(-3i+6i-5i+2i)+(2j+3j-7j+2j)+(-4k+k-3k+6k)=0
(0+0+0)=0
hence a,b,c nd d are complanar.
2.loadin tinz.......
3.prvn dat d identity of(a^b).(c^d)=(a.c)(b.d)-(a.d)(b.c)
the identity of
(a^b).(c^d) are knwn as commutatv
so let assume dat
p.q=p+q-pq
where p=(a^b)
q=(c^b)
(a^b).(c^b)=(a^b)+(c^b)-(a^b)(c^b)
(a^b).e=(a^b)+e-(a^b)e
(a^b)-(a^b)=e[1-(a^b)]
0=e[1-(a^b)]
e=0
d identity of LHS is equal to zero
(a.c)(b.d)-(a.d)(b.c)
(a.c)(b.d)^(a.d)(b.c)=(a.c)(b.d)-(a.d)(b.c)
(a.c)(b.d)^(b.d)^e=(a.c)(b.d)-e
(a.c)(b.d)=(a.c)(b.d)-e
(a.c)(b.d)-(a.c)(b.d)=-e
0=-e
e=0
d identity RHS is equal to zero

benbuks: Find the anti-derivative of (cosx +1)^-2
HERE IS THE WORKING.
I'll let my integral sign to be $
$ 1/(cosx+1)^2dx
Substitute u=tan(x/2)..... du/dx=1/2(sec^2(x/2)) du=1/2(sec^2(x/2)).
Then transforming the integral using the substitution.
sinx=2u/u^2+1.... cosx=1-u^2/u^2+1 and dx=2du/u^2+1.
$ 2/(u^2+1)[(1-u^2)/(u^2+1) +1]^2 du
simplifying the integrand gives 1/2(u^2+1).
$1/2(u^2+1)du.
1/2[$u^2du+$1du]
1/2[u^3/3+u]+C
u^3/6+u/2+C
recall that u=tan(x/2)
tan^3(x/2)/6+tan(x/2)/2+C. shikena or if u want to go further we av this as the final answer

@ laplacian here is my solution.
sin2x+sinx=1.
Subtract 1 4rm bth sides. We av -1+sinx+sin2x=0.
Substitute y=tan(x/2). Then sinx=2y/y^2+1 and cosx=1-y^2/y^2+1.
-1+4y/(y^2+1)^2-4y^3/(y^2+1)^2+2y/y^2+1 =0
takin d lcm nd simplifyin we av
-y^4-2y^3-2y^2+6y-1=0.
-(y-1)(y^3+3y^2+5y-1)=0.
multiply thru by -1.
y-1=0 or y^3+3y^2+5y-1=0.
y=1. Recal dat y=tan(x/2).
tan(x/2)=1. x/2=tan^-1.
x/2=45. Finally x=90. For the y^3+3y^2+5y-1=0. I will leave dat to my fellow maths general. All is well. I'm off to MARINA.

Alpha Maximus: .....alright, I'm not really conversant with trigonometric equations but I'll give it a shot!
Tan ! =sin ! /cos !
Thus Tan$=sin$/cos$=((a-1)/x))/((1-a)/x))
=a-1/x*(x/1-a)
=a-1/1-a
Tan$=a-1/1-a
Multipky both sides by -1
-tan$=-a+1/1-a
-tan$=1
Divide both sides by -1
Tan$=-1
Am I right? grin
Yea u are 100% right.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
I'm taking my integral sign to be $.
divide through by e^x we ave

let u=e^x..... du/dx=e^x...... dx=du/e^x
$1/(u-2)u^2 du.
using partial fraction

integrating term by term
-1/2$1/u^2du +1/4$1/(u-2)du - 1/4$1/udu.
1/2u+1/4ln(u-2)-1/4lnu +C.
put u=e^x.
1/2e^x+1/4ln(e^x-2)-1/4lne^x+C.
By simplifying we av this as final answer.
1/4[2e^-x+ln(1-2e^-x)]+C. All is well

(a.x)a-(a.a)x. Where x=(x1,x2,x3) let a=(a1,a2,a3).
a.a=(a1,a2,a3)(a1,a2,a3).
a.a=a^21^a^22+a^23.
a.x=(a1,a2,a3)(x1,x2,x3).
a.x=a1x1+a2x2+a3x3.
a^(x^a)=(a1x1+a2x2+a3x3)a-(a^21+a^22+a^23)x. Recall that a=(a1,a2,a3) nd x=(x1,x2,x3).
a^(x^a)=(a1,a2,a3)(a1x1+a2x2+a3x3)-(x1,x2,x3)(a^21+a^22+a^23). When u expand nd open d bracket u get 0.
Hence a^(x^a)=0. Buh 4rm d questn we av x+a^(x^a)=b. Put a^(x^a)=0 in d eqn we av

W is a subset of R^3.
dimW is less than or equal to 3.
If dimension W=0 ----> a point on a real line.
If dimension W=1----> W is a line through the origin.
If dimension W=2----> W is a plane that passes through the origin.
If dimension W=3----> W is an entire space of R^3.
