Using the definitions of hyperbolic functions in terms of exponentials show that sech^2(x) = 1-tanh^2(x)

tanh(x) = ((ex-e-x)/2)/((ex+e-x)/2) 1 - tanh2(x) = 1-((ex-e-x)/(ex+e-x))2  = ((e2x+...

By using an integrating factor, solve the differential equation dy/dx + 4y/x = 6x^-3 (6 marks)

Answer : y = 3/x+ c/x Integrating factor is 4/x (1 mark) => I = eintegral (4/x) dx (1 mark) => I = x(1 mark). Using the f...

Solve the following complex equation: '(a + b)(2 + i) = b + 1 + (10 + 2a)i' to find values for 'a' and 'b'

The first step with this question is to expand all the brackets; this will produce the following equation:

2a + ai + 2b + bi = b + 1 + 10i + 2ai

The next step is to put all the terms which c...
