    Is there an inverse Z transform for: 1/z-1 ?

    I'm wondering about something similar. I plotted some points in the transformation and it seems to be a circle but I can't manipulate it to get it in a form where I could find the radius or center.

    Graph Curves in the Complex Plane

    Homework Statement [/b] Graph the locus represented by the following. \left|z+2i\right| + \left|z-2i\right| = 6 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution z = x + iy so z-2i = x + (y-2)i and z+2i = x + (y-2)i So I have: sqrt(x^2 + (y-2)^2) + sqrt(x^2 + (y+2)^2) = 6...

    Proving Normal Subgroup of S4 in Alternative Ways

    Yes, the symmetry group. I'm not sure I entirely know what you mean with Lagrange's theorem. I'm not sure how that exactly helps. And breaking up each permutation into transpositions, won't that just make the brute force easier?

    Proving Normal Subgroup of S4 in Alternative Ways

    How would one go about proving a particular subset of S4 is a normal subgroup of S4? Since S4 has 24 elements, I'm wondering if there is any other way to prove this other than a brute force method.

    Computer Experts: Secure Your Wireless Network

    Okay, I was able to get on there and now I'm looking into this MAC filtering. So I should probably enable MAC filtering (only letting those people I allow to connect) and disable SSID broadcast?

    Computer Experts: Secure Your Wireless Network

    Sorry for the long response time but this the first time I've been able to access this computer in weeks. Sure. I have a Linksys router model WRT54G. I looked on Linksys website for setting up a password but I couldn't find anything. I saw how to change the router password but I don't...

    Computer Experts: Secure Your Wireless Network

    I'm looking for all the computer experts out there. I have a wireless network in my house; I have one desktop computer that is directly connected to the modem (I have a cable connection) and another desktop computer that receives the internet signals via a router. I also have a laptop that I...

    Solving Rope on Table Homework: Time for Length of 1m

    So you've chosen the tabletop as your zero reference point?

    Solving Rope on Table Homework: Time for Length of 1m

    That looks correct but I'm just wondering what you're motivation was for integrating the potential energy?

    Solving Rope on Table Homework: Time for Length of 1m

    That's going to involve solving a second order linear ODE. I was thinking that you can go through this problem with only separation of variables.

    Solving Rope on Table Homework: Time for Length of 1m

    Homework Statement A flexible rope of length 1.0 m slides from a frictionless table top. The rope is initially released from rest with 30 cm hanging over the edge of the table. Find the time at which the end of the rope left on the table will reach the end of the table (basically when the...

    How can the range of a projectile fired at an angle up a hill be calculated?

    I have no idea how we're supposed to get things like cos(\beta)

    How can the range of a projectile fired at an angle up a hill be calculated?

    I too am having trouble with this problem. In the book, they use Taylor expansions in order to find the flight time T and put in back into the range equation. However, they have the luxury of letting y = 0 because the trajectory is a simple parabola. We don't have the same situation here. y...
