Problem statement : Given the equation ##\sin\theta+2\cos\theta=1##, find the general solution for the angle ##\theta##. Attempt : For the general case where we have ##a\sin\theta+b\cos\theta=c##, the line of approach is to take ##a=r\cos\alpha## and ##b=r\sin\alpha## wherein we will have...

Let me explain what I mean. When you try to solve an algebraic equation, or even sometimes a differential equation it is useful to change variables so the new form of the equation is easier to solve, or takes the form of an equation that has already been solved. Another technique is making...

Equations: Question: Using the equation for t' I got the answer -0.00000499756s (Wrong anyway) As we know the values: v = 0.67c m/s x = 3900 m t = 0.000005 s Also how can time be negative? Does this mean that event 2 happened before the first event when t = 0?

I read that in solving an equation, the reault is only a possibility for a solution, and not necessarily a solution. For example, in solving x+3 = 5, x=2 is not a solution until you explicitly plug it back into show that it actually. Why is the statement x=2 not enough to show that 2 is actually...

How can I solve the equation of a parabola when the focus and Latusrectum are given?

I am solving the equation ##\sqrt{x + 3} + 4 = \sqrt{8x + 1}##. I understand that , generally, to solve it, we have to eliminate the radicals by isolating a radical expression to one side and then squaring both sides of the equation. I end up obtaining two solutions: ##x = 6## and ##x =...

Hi! I have a problem: I need to solve an equation, Ax=y, where A is a known matrix, y is a known column vector and x is an unknown column vector. Unfortunately, A is singular so I cannot do the simple solution of inverse(A)*y=x. Does anybody know of any way that I can obtain the coefficients...
