Q

For new roots α^2 and β^2, what are a b and c

A

α^2 + β^2 = (α+β)^2 - 2αβ = (-b/a)^2 -2(c/a)

α^2β^2 = (αβ)^2 = (c/a)^2

z=x+iy

z*=x-iy

23
Q

Differentiating from first principles

A

Using chord AP with A(x1,y1) and P(x+h,y2) as h tends to 0

24
Q

Two things which make an integral improper

A
  • infinity or negative infinity in limits

- integral undefined at a limit or between them IE. Crosses an asymptote

25
General solution for cosθ
``` θ= 360n° +/- α θ= 2nπ +/- α ```
26
General solution for sinθ
``` θ= 180n° +(-1)^n α θ= nπ +(-1)^n α ```
27
General solution for tanθ
``` θ= 180n° + α θ= nπ + α ```
28
Interval bisection
If a root lies between f(a) and f(b), try x=a+b/2. Sign determines which side root is closer to. Repeat until desired accuracy
29
Linear interpolation
Using similar triangles to compare x/y ratios and find estimation for the root
30
Newton raphson method
If α is an approximation of a root of f(x)=0, hen a better approximation is given using α-f(α)/f'(α)
31
Euler formula for step by step solution to differential equations
Yn+1 ~Yn + hf(xn)
32
How to prove something has a linear correlation
Get in the form | logy = loga +nlogx
