Proving Trigonometric Identities, 5

Category: Trigonometry

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Prove that 



Solution:

Consider the give equation above



Use the left side of the equation to prove the trigonometric identities because it is more complicated part, as follows





Use the sum and product formula, we have















Multiply the numerator and the denominator by sin x, we have





but




Therefore the above equation becomes







Therefore,

Theory - Polynomial Equations

Category: Algebra

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Form the equation of a polynomial if the roots are -3, 5, 6, -1, and -1. 

Solution:

The degree of a polynomial depends with the number of roots whether the roots are real numbers, irrational numbers, rational numbers, and complex numbers. In this case, if there are 5 roots in the given equation, then the degree of a polynomial must be 5 also. 

The number of terms of a polynomial is equal to the number of roots plus one. In this case, if there are 5 roots in the given equation, then the number of terms of a polynomial must be 6. 

If the roots are -3, 5, 6, -1, and -1, then the equation of a polynomial will be

Eliminating Arbitrary Constant

Category: Differential Equations, Algebra

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Eliminate the arbitrary constant for



Solution:

Consider the given equation above and call this as equation #1, we have



Take the derivative with respect to x and call this as equation #2, we have



Since there are two arbitrary constants in the given equation, then we have to take the derivative of the given equation twice with respect to x. So, take the derivative of the above equation again with respect to x and call this as equation #3, we have



Using the equations #1 and #2:





Multiply equation #1 by 2 and multiply equation #2 by -1. Add the two equations in order to eliminate c1 and call this as equation #4, we have




                                —————————————————



Using the equations #1 and #3:





Multiply equation #1 by 4 and multiply equation #3 by -1. Add the two equations in order to eliminate c1 and call this as equation #5, we have





                                —————————————————



Equate equations #4 and #5, we have







Multiply both sides of the equation by 5, we have



Therefore,
