    What is the Nontrivial Residue Integral for the Function sin(bx)/(e^pi x-1)?

    yes, you are right, 2i, I wrote wrong, but the problem for me is the integral "from 0 to 2i", i can't find a simple expression, while Mathematica do (only a cotangent and something like 1/p, or similar). The other methods, for me (maybe I'm not too experienced) gives too "complex" results...

    What is the Nontrivial Residue Integral for the Function sin(bx)/(e^pi x-1)?

    I found this integral in a book ("A course of modern analysis", Whittaker): \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{sin(bx)}{e^{\pi x}-1} dx I tried to use residue theorem in the rectangular domain [0,R]x[0,i], with R-> \infty , but i couldn't do the integral in [0,i]

    Combinations - selecting 7 persons

    Officeshredder is right. There are two possible situations, you pick 2 chinese 3 british and 2 indians or you pick 2 chinese 2 british and 3 indians, so you have 2C2*4C3*5C2+2C2*4C2*5C3=100

    Combinations - selecting 7 persons

    for nCk you mean n!/(k!*(n-k)!) ? If yes we computed the same thing, or better, you are right, I've done an error in the third factor, it is actually 5C2=5!/(3!2!), for me it's 600, but i made the same reasoning as you did, and i think it's right, if we understand the problem correctly.

    Combinations - selecting 7 persons

    you have to choose two chinese forced, at least two british and two indians, and one between british or indian. so you have 1*\frac{4!}{2!2!}*\frac{4!}{2!2!}*(3+2)=180 the last term: 3 indians+2 british

    Graphical Representation of Cross Product

    It's the line created by the vectors that have their component perpendicular to a equal to x*sin(theta) (it's not exact, the vectors must stay in a certain sense at right of a, if not they created two lines), the vector product is for definition the product of a times the component of the other...

    What is the voltage across vc(0)?

    You are right, you can see why in another way, there are no corrents in vc and there is a short circuit beetween the nodes near vc, i.e. voltage=0, so vc must be zero

    Mechanics Vibrations Homework: Piston Displacement & Time Calculation

    Integrate the wikipedia equation with the conditions x(0)=0, v(0)=15.24 (cauchy problem); the system is underdamped, you will find a solution like exponential*sin, for the maximum displacement set the condition v(t)=0, i found it at t=0.01572s, if you want further help i can give you the...

    How Does Integrating Modified Newton's Law Lead to the Velocity Formula V(t)?

    my result is correct for relativity (at least for special as far i know), it is even reported in my textbook

    How Does Integrating Modified Newton's Law Lead to the Velocity Formula V(t)?

    Integrate, you find p=Ft, substitute p=mv/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), some arithmetics and you fininshed, your solution is wrong, is valid for v^2

    I apologize if this is old. Thing I found.

    a, b real numbers with binomial a(a-b)+b(a-b)=(a-b)(a+b)=a2-b2 or with computation a(a-b)+b(a-b)=a2-ab+ab-b2=a2-b2 it's a basic binomial formula: (a+b)(a-b)=a2-b2
