    Integration

    a quicker way \int \frac{dx}{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}\\ =\int \frac{dx}{x^2\sqrt{(\frac{1}{x})^2-1}} use reverse chain rule/let u=1/x, as this is a standard integral

    Integration Problem

    i can't quite follow your working, so i'll just provide a solution Let\ the\ frustrum\ be\ the\ region\\ 0\leq kx\leq y;\ a\leq x \leq b\ \ rotated\ about\ the\ x-axis\\ so\ V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}y^2.dx\\ = \pi \int_{a}^{b}k^2x^2.dx\\ = [\pi k^2b^3 - \pi k^2a^3]/3\\ = (b-a)/3*(\pi k^2a^2+\pi k^2b^2...

    Integration Problem

    um just use a rotation of a line, eg. y = kx, between values a and b find the expression for this volume, and the expressions for B1 and B2 in terms of the other variables, sub in. provide your working so far if you are still stuck

    motion

    timothy, you've basically got it all right x<-3, -1 < x < 1 or x > 3, but as x=4 lies on the particle's motion, it must satisfy x > 3

    Quanta Question

    you know the frequency of the light, so you know the energy per photon (E=hf) so you know the energy being given to each electron. this energy is going to be equal to the work function for the zinc plate (if youre given it) + the kinetic energy of the electron, i.e. hf = hf0 + 1/2 mev2, and you...

    Roots

    if b^2 - 4ac < 0, (and a > 0) the quadratic is always positive for m^2 + m + 4, the discriminant is 1 - 16 = -15 < 0 so always positive

    Roots

    if m<-1, then m^2 > -m -> m^2 + m > 0 so m^2 + m + 4 > 0 if -1 < m < 0, then 0 < m^2 < 1 so m^2 + m + 4 > 3 and if m > 0, m^2 > 0 m^2 + m > 0, as m^2 + m + 4 is greater than zero for each case it is always postive works well for seeing it intuitively, but as for actually proving you're best to...
