let be a function y=f(x) with poles f(a_{i} ) = \infty for some real 'a' my question is if we define the inverse function g(x) so g(f(x))=x ,then is this true g(\infty)=a_{i} my question is that it seems that g(x) would have several asymptotes as x-->oo how it can be ??

Does anybody knows a standard way of determining the hight of 11 KV transmission line galvanised steel poles ?

I have run into something i don't understand while working with an alternator. I purchased a magnetic pole detector to identify the poles of some magnets and tried to see if i could detect the changing magnetic field of the alternator in my car while it was running by placing the pole detector...

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2010/06/theater-review-more-lies-about-jerzy-at-the-hayworth-theatre.html Probably this is just a sign of stupidity, or arrogance, or both. But "Nazi Poland" is about as correct as "Polish concentration camps". Yes, it happened in Poland, but is...

Why don't magnets fly to Earth's magnetic poles? I understand that Earth's magnetic pull must be strong enough to pull a magnet to the pole, but what is the force required for a magnet to get pulled the over their? How does one calculate whether a magnetic field is strong enough in order for two...

While deriving the Helmholtz Green function in Sakurai we come across the integral \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}q\,dq\,\frac{e^{iq|\vec x-\vec x'|}-e^{-iq|\vec x-\vec x'|}}{q^2-k^2\mp i\varepsilon'} This equation has poles at q \simeq \pm k\pm i\varepsilon', however when doing the residue calculation...

If a function f(x) have SIMPLE POLES , could in principle this f(x) be expanded into f(x)= \sum_{r}a_{r} (x-r)^{-1} where 'r' are the poles on the complex plane of the function Another question, would it be possible to relate using the Euler-Mac Laurin resummation, a series of the...

Homework Statement Problem is regarding approximating the value of a in y= a cosh(x/a) using Newton's method, and then use a to find the length of the rope. That equation represents the curve formed by a rope hanging with it's ends attached to poles at a distance 2b. (cosh() = hyperbolic...

If so, why? Shouldn't it attract positive charges equally from all sides?

I am having a hard time understanding the difference between poles and zeros, and simple poles versus removable poles. For instance, consider f(z)=\frac{z^2}{sin(z)} . we can expand sine into a power series and pull out a z, so doesn't that remove the singularity at z=0? Also, I don't see why...

Hello Forum, I have a 3 phases DC brushless motor from a Hard Disk Drive, when energize one coil and turning by hand the rotor i can feel 4 steps per rotation, is this means that this motor has 4 poles of north and south? Thank you in advance, Anita

Homework Statement Determine the nature of the singularity at z=0Homework Equations f(z)=\frac{1}{cos(z)}+\frac{1}{z} The Attempt at a Solution by expanding into series: f(z)=\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(2n)! (-1)^n}{x^{2n}} + \Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n (z-1)^n Now \frac{1}{z} has no...

Bit of a simple question but one I've never really had to think about. Lets say you have two opposing poles of a magnet (a ferromagnet i guess), they repel of course, but will forcing them to stay next to each other eventually demagnetize them? My instinct tells me no, but maybe the force...

Hello, if i said that x(t) is real, why X(s) must occur in conjugate reciprocal pairs ?

Homework Statement The Earth's angular momentum is directed toward which celestial pole(north or south)? Homework Equations none The Attempt at a Solution I just assume that it is the south celestial pole considering that the Earth is spinning from left to right, or west to east...

(a) Telephone Poles. I really, really hate telephone poles. They are abhorrently ugly. Every time I drive down the road- wires, wires, wires. Everywhere wires! I live way too close to a major city for there to be wires everywhere. The water is under the ground in pipes, why does the power...

Hello again, as I was reading today still trying to grok passive filter design, I realized that I do not entirely grasp the concept of "poles" and "zeros" from in a qualitative way. I understand, for example, that a pole is a kind of singularity where the denominator of the complex-number...

Homework Statement Hi all. According to my book, a pole z_0 of a function f(z) is defined as \mathop {\lim }\limits_{z \to z_0 } f(z) = \infty. Now let's look at e.g. f(z) = exp(z). Thus we have a singularity for z = infinity, since the limit in this case is infinity. This is what I don't...

Suppose the length of a pole is a random variable X, with mean m(x) and probability density function f(x). Poles are cut to obtain an exact length L. If the initial length of the pole is less than L, the entire pole is lost. If it is greater than L, the pole with be cut down to L, and the...

Magnetic poles (A simple question but I don't know how to answer it?) (i)Show the magnetic field associated with the earth, (ii)and use your diagram to explain why magnetic poles always occur in north south pairs I don't know how to go about the second part at all!?/

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to calculate the attractive force between a pair of magnets. I orignally thought that this would involve a really simple formula (something of the 1 over r squared variety) but have struggled to find any equations dealling with the force between...

My geology prof says that no one knows. I think I'll cry if that's true. It's driving me nuts.

for the function f(z)=\frac{ze^{iz}}{z^4+\alpha^4}, \alpha>0 what are the residues of the poles in the upper half plane so i factorised the denominator to (z^2+i \alpha^2)(z^2-i \alpha^2) my problems are: (i)but then i wasn't sure how to characterise this the z^2 had me confused as to...

Why does the homogeneous of a second order differential equation/system (i.e. a series RLC circuit) is identical to the transfer function (i.e. H(jw)) denominator in its standard form? Therefore the poles of the transfer function are also the solutions for the auxiliary equation... I cannot...

What are some simple techniques to numerically integrate functions with poles?

Hi, Can someone tell me how to integrate functions which have a branch point and a pole (of order > 1) on the x-axis. Specifically, I ran into the following problem while playing around with contour integrals, which has a double pole at x = -2 . I tried to do this with a keyhole contour...

I have a function 1/(z^4 + 1) I know the poles are pi/4, 3pi/4, 5pi/4, 7pi/4 It says they are simple poles, I thought I understood why, but now I am totally confused. How does my lecturer just know that they are simple? A simple pole is a pole of order 1, but I thought this meant you...

If so, wasn't it confirmed when we saw an increase in ice levels at the poles this year?

Thanks Naveen

I still don't quite fully understand about the order of poles and calculating residues. Take f(z) = 1/sin z at z=0 for example. When I try putting that into Laurent expansion about z=0, 1/ sin z = 2i/ (e^z - e^(-z)) = 2ie^(-z) / ( 1 - e^(-2z)) = 2ie^(-z) [ 1 - e^(-2z) + e^(-4z) - e^(-6z) +...

There is supposed to be a switch of magnetic poles in several thousand years which already started 150/200 years ago. This gave me an idea. Can the changing magnetic orientation cause the whales (and other large mammals living in the sea who use the Earth's magnetic field) to "crash" on shores...

What causes the magnetic force between 2 magnetic poles?

Homework Statement A copper penny falls on a path that takes it between the poles of a magnet. Does it hit the ground going faster, slower, or at the same speed. The Attempt at a Solution Clearly the penny undergoes a change in magnetic flux. Since it receives a change in magnetic flux...

Hi, I'm trying to gain a better understanding on poles and zeros. Seems everywhere i read it says the poles and zeros can tell you the system response, characteristic and you can do lots with it from filter design to controls. Its a broad area but was hoping someone can provide further...

Are the force around the poles compressed, so it makes the poles of the magnet stronger than the other parts? Thanks.
