solve 3sinh^2(2x) + 11sinh(2x) = 4 for x, giving your answer(s) in terms of the natural log.

3sinh^2(2x) + 11sinh(2x) - 4 = 0 --> (3sinh(2x) - 1)(sinh(2x) + 4) = 0 --> sinh(2x) = 1/3, sinh(2x) = -4(e^(2x) - e^(-2x))/2 = 1/3 --> e^(4x) -(2/3)e^(2x) - 1 = 0 --> e^(2x) = 1/3 + 2sqrt(5)/3...

Find the shortest distance between the lines r = (1, 5, 6) + y(-2, -1, 0) and r = (1, 7, -3) + z(2, 0, 4)

Vector joining the two lines = (1, 5, 6) - (1, 7, -3) = (0, -2, 9)Normal vector to the two lines = (-2, -1, 0) x (2, 0, 4) = (-4, 8, 2) = 2(-2, 4, 1)Hence, using the dot product, shortest distance = (0, -...

How would you use the Integration Factor method to solve an ordinary first-order linear differential equation?

The word "ordinary" means that there are only two variables, "first-order" means that the highest derivative is the first derivative and "linear" means that the highest power...
