    MHB How Do Planes Intersect in Various Linear Systems?

    Hi Euge, Thank you for your response - i very much appreciate your time. Unfortunately i didn't quite understand your explanation there regarding the orientation of the planes that gives this solution set. I was thinking drawing some diagrams might help me to understand, but I'm not really...

    MHB Complex Numbers - writing in polar form

    Thank you for updating the solution, greatly appreciated. If possible, i was wondering if you could explain how $$ z4 = -\sqrt{3} + i $$ can be written in two different ways as you have shown below. I don't understand this step. Many thanks.

    MHB Complex Numbers - writing in polar form

    Hi MARKFL, Many thanks for that response. I'm still unfortunately a little confused. Also, i noticed you used z4 = $$ \sqrt{3} +i $$ when the question is $$ -\sqrt{3} + i $$ sorry if my question didn't make this clear with my poor formatting. As such, I'm thinking you're working would be...

    MHB Complex Numbers - writing in polar form

    Following on from this question MarkFL, i had a final problem i was hoping you (or other users) may be able to assist with. Express z4 = $$ \sqrt{-3} + i $$ in polar form and hence solve the equation z^2 = z4. So far i have found that the polar form of z4 = $$ 2 e^{}\frac{5i\pi}{6} $$...

    MHB Complex Numbers - writing in polar form

    I'm using Chrome and OS X Yosemite. Am i correct in understand i need to add in $$ $$ coding around the symbol/commands? I am placing my cursor in the text editor prior to clicking the symbols. I've had a go below, hopefully that works!$$ \infty \ne \alpha $$

    MHB Complex Numbers - writing in polar form

    Thank you! Apologies for you needing to correct the post. I can't figure out the symbol/command function with coding? I can see the symbol command set to click on on the right but when i click, the symbols don't go into this text box I'm writing in? So sorry but I'm really useless with IT, I've...

    MHB Working out where a function is non-negative

    Ahhhh ha! Yes i can see now i was a bit off by equating non-negative as just positive i.e. >0. Thank you so much! :-)

    MHB Working out where a function is non-negative

    Hi MarkFL, Thank you for moving the thread and for taking the time to respond. Your guidance was very helpful. I ended up graphing the function which was also helpful. Am i correct in understanding the function is non-negative (value of the function is >0) in the intervals: (- ∞, -6) and (6, ∞)...
