    Solve the quadratic equation involving sum and product

    for part i. i guess the quadratic equation was not indicated. I will go ahead and finish on that; The quadratic equation will be ##x^2 -p(p^2+3c)x^2-c^3=0##

    Prove that ## 4\tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{1}{5}\right]- \tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{1}{239}\right]= \dfrac{π}{4}##

    a different line for ##\tan 4S## ##\tan (4S)= \tan (2S +2S) = \dfrac{\tan 2S + \tan 2S}{1 - \tan^2 (2S)}## ##\tan (2S) = \dfrac{5}{12}## therefore, ##\tan 4S= \left[ \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{12} + \dfrac{5}{12}}{1-\left[\dfrac{5}{12}\right]^2}\right]## ##\tan 4S=...

    Prove that ## 4\tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{1}{5}\right]- \tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{1}{239}\right]= \dfrac{π}{4}##

    I note that in my proof, i did not have the ##4S## and instead worked with ##S## ... that was wrong. Your working clearly shows that error on my part. Cheers.

    Paul Hinds has passed

    Noted, @berkeman. Is there a way to establish an award in the area of expertise of those profound members who have passed away? or a dedicated page... I believe that would be a true tribute to the fallen soldiers. It's sad that when someone dies, they are quickly forgotten; such is the nature of...

    Paul Hinds has passed

    My condolences to the family. Could we at least have a picture of him during his happy days? That is the only way his memory can live on within us. Forever and ever! My thoughts and blessings!

    Undergrad Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##

    This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0##...

    Solve the given differential equation

    Thanks for the thoughtful input — actually, I’ve taken this as a personal challenge! I’ll be applying the Runge-Kutta method to this problem and working through it manually as far as possible. I’m also committed to generating more of these hybrid-style problems that push the boundaries of how we...
