why you think to use this fact : u\cdot v= |u||v|cos(\theta) and |u\times v|= |u||v| sin(\theta) in your arguments? I CAN'T SEE IT!
this is my new argument ::
yes v = w.
u.v = v.u and u x v = u x w implies that u.(v-w)=0 and u x (v-w) = 0 implies that u perpendicular with (v-w) and u parallel...
Homework Statement
describe the set of points in space whose coordinate satisfy the given equation or pair of equations:
(i) z=2y (ii) 3x=4y, z=1
if (i) or (ii) represents a line in space, give a unit vector that is parallel to the line. If (i) or (ii) represents a plane, give a unit...
Homework Statement
let u be a nonzero vector in space and let v and w be any two vectors in space. if u.v = u.w and u x v = u x w, can you conclude that v=w? give reason for your answer.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
v is not necessary equal to w
since u is nonzero...
distance from the line to the plane (which one is correct?)
Homework Statement
find the distance from the line x=2+t, y=1+t, z= -(1/2)-(1/2)t to the plane x+2y+6z =10Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
my first attempt ::
by setting t = 0, we get a point on the line, say P...
show that y1(x) = e^(2+i)x and y2(x) = e^(2-i)x, i=sqrt(-1) are two linearly independent functions
hence obtain a second order linear differential equation with constant coefficients each that y1(x) and y2(x) are its two fundamental solutions.
my attempt :
for the first part, I use the...
another way of my attempt is
(cos x)y''-y'+y = 0
y''- \frac{ y'}{cos x}+ \frac{y}{cos x} = 0
The roots of the characteristic equation are the solutions to this problem.
\lambda^2 - \frac{ \lambda }{cos x} + \frac{1}{cos x} = 0
If the roots don't present in nice form, like in the case of...
find the general solution of (cos x)y''-y'+y = 0
this i so the question, so in my opinion, the method of reduction is the best method to solve the question. is there any other way that much more easier than this?
