    But in this case, 1/f(x) is cosx which is defined for for all x. If however you where to do f(x)=lnx, then there would be an open circle at x=0. Atleast this is my understanding of what your ment to graph?

    From the diagram, the rope is 15 m long. i.e 8-y+hypotenuse=15 therefore, hypotenuse=y+7 and by pythagorus, x^2 +6^2 =(y+7)^2 When y=3, x=8. Also it is given that dx/dt=2.5m/s x^2+6^2=(y+7)^2 \\ \textup{implicitly differentiating},2x=2(y+7)\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x} \\ \therefore...

    For the cone one we know; dh/dt= 2cm/min at h=16cm, and tanA=3/4 now, V=1/3pir^2h, if you draw a pretty picture you should relise that r/h=3/4 i,e. r=3h/4 and V=1/3pi(3h/4)^2 h therefore, dV/dh=9/16pih^2 and at h=16, dV/dh=144cm^3/min now, dV/dt=dV/dh*dh/dt therefore...

    Could you be more specific or give us an example? A quadratic will have two roots, not necesarrily unique or real.

    h(n+2)-h(n)=(n+2)^4+6(n+2)^2+9-n^4-6n^2-9\\=[(n+2)^2-n^2][(n+2)^2+n^2]+6[(n+2)-n][(n+2)+n] \\=(4n+4)(2n^2+4n+4)+12(2n+2)\\=8(n+1)[(n^2+2n+2)+3]\\=8(n+1)(n^2+2n+5) Now that took alot of time. Too lazy to do the induction part, but its fairly simple.

    x^3+y^3=3xy \\ (x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)=3xy \\ x+y=\frac{3xy}{x^2-xy+y^2}\\ \therefore x+y=\frac{3}{x/y -1 +y/x} \\From \;previous, as\; x\to \infty, y/x\to-1 \\it\; follows\; then\; that \;x+y\to-1, as \;x\to\infty

    x^3+y^3=3xy \\ 1+(\frac{y}{x})^3=3 \frac{y}{x^2}\\ \frac{1+(\frac{y}{x})^3}{\frac{y}{x}}=\frac{3}{x} as\; x\to\infty, RHS\to0 \\ \therefore LHS\to0, \;i.e \;y/x\to-1

    Very interesting

    (-1)^2 =1 ... so yes, the square root of 1 is 1. I;m pretty sure there is a difference between \sqrt{-1^2} \; and \; (\sqrt{-1})^2

    jm01, check your solution i think you made a mistake (after second use of integration by parts). using the sums to product identity; \int (sin5xcos3x)dx = \int \frac{(sin8x+sin2x)}{2}dx \\ =\frac{1}{2}\left [ -\frac{1}{8}cos8x -\frac{1}{2}cos2x \right ] +C \\ =-\frac{1}{16}\left [...

    do you mean how do you graph arcsin(x^2) arccos(x^2), etc. It's the same process for any other function, its mirrored around the y axis, and its similar to f(x) except its sort of squished around x=1,-1, with the f(x) and f(x^2) intersecting at x=0, +-1. go to wolframalpha.com and just...

    I think the question is wrong. LHS=(1+cos^2(\frac{x}{2})-sin^2(\frac{x}{2})+2icos(\frac{x}{2})sin(\frac{x}{2}))^n \\=(2cos^2(\frac{x}{2})+2icos(\frac{x}{2})sin(\frac{x}{2}))^n \\ =2^ncos^n(\frac{x}{2})(cos(\frac{nx}{2})+isin(\frac{nx}{2})), by \;De \;Moivre's \;Theorem

    polynomials question

    for ii) the question refers to real parts, not imaginary parts. continueing from shaon0, using the sum of roots we get x+iy+x-iy+A+iB+A-iB+R=0, where R is the real root. 2x+2A=-R from i) we know p(0)=-c<0, therefore, R>0 and -R<0 It follows then that either x, A or both are <0.
