    Differential equation using complex exponentials

    Homework Statement Find three independent solutions to the differential equation \frac{d^3}{dt^3}f(t) + f(t) = 0 You should use complex exponentials to derive the solutions, but express the results in real form. Homework Equations sin\theta = \frac{e^{i\theta} - e^{-i\theta}}{2i} cos\theta =...

    Two's complement binary arithmetic with overflow detection

    sweet! It made sense to me when you explained it and i was like "hmm well that's easy stuff lol" and it took me like 5 minutes to fix my mistakes haha i don't think my teach wants us to go into that deep level of explanations. if i get the same number for the result in binary and in normal...

    Two's complement binary arithmetic with overflow detection

    ok that makes sense. so for part B, it would be 11+(-26) = -15 and i'd just leave the addition as 001011 + 100110 = 110001 take the 2's comp of 110001 since i have to return it to the original 2s signed # it would be 001111 which is 15 but it's negative so -15 no overflow here. then part C, -18...

    Finding common factors in atomic mass calculations

    what i did: 27.40 * 0.781 = 21.4 52.9 * 0.811 = 42.9 62.6 * 0.856 = 53.59 there is a hint that says i have no idea how to get the common factor with those numbers.. btw i had no idea where i can post this in here so i posted here :X

    Does the series of ln((2n+1)/(3n-1)) converge or diverge?

    oh my bad.. its 1 ln(1) = 0 so the answer is Diverges, S=0. ?

    Does the series of ln((2n+1)/(3n-1)) converge or diverge?

    \frac{2n+1}{3n-1} as n\to\infty will be 0 and for \ln\left(\frac{2n+1}{3n-1}\right) it will be ln(0) which is impossible.. but if plugging numbers like 10, 100, 1000... into \ln\left(\frac{2n+1}{3n-1}\right) the number becomes smaller and smaller all the way to -\infty so does it mean that...

    Solve for the y-Intercept: Curve Through (4/9,1) with Slope of -2/y3

    i got 2.087 once i got y = (-8x + 19)^0.25 y-int is when x=0 so y=19^0.25 = 2.087 its weird how the slope they gave us don't even help.. its there to make the question scary i guess.
