Give the general solution of the second order ODE dy2/d2x - 4dy/dx + 3 = 0

Solving the ansatz equation x^2 - 4x + 3 = gives 2 equal roots where x = 3 and x = 1The general solution therefore is y = Ae^3x + Be^x where A and B are arbitrary constants

How to determine the rank of a matrix?


a) Show that d/dx(arcsin x) = 1/(√ (1-x²)). b) Hence, use a suitable trigonometric substitution to find ∫ (1/(√ (4-2x-x²))) dx.


Solve this equation: x^2 + 2x + 2
