AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving three mathematical problems involving inverse functions, hyperbolic functions, and partial fractions. The first problem requires finding the inverse of the equation y = (2e^t + 3e^-t) / (e^t + 2e^-t), with a correction made to the initial solution involving logarithmic expressions. The second problem involves calculating sinh x given cosh x = 4.5, with the participant questioning whether their result of sinh x = sqrt(19.25) is exact. The third problem asks for the expression of a polynomial as partial fractions, with a proposed solution that appears to be correct. The participant acknowledges that their answers for the first problem are equivalent, clarifying the relationship between their solutions.

:mad: 1. Given y= (2e^t + 3e^-t ) / (e^t + 2e^-t)

find inverse of of the equation from above

i did the working out to get

y= ([2t-3] / [2-t]) ^ 1/2

do i have to apply any log laws or anything like that?

2. cosh x = 4.5 find sinh x exactly
i applied the formula
(coshx)^2 - (sinhx)^2 = 1
therefore

- (sinhx)^2 = 1 - (coshx)^2
(sinhx)^2 = -1 + (4.5)^2
(sinhx)^2 = 19.25
sinhx = sqrt 19.25

is that exactly?

3. express as partial fractions

(10x^2 + 14x + 3) / (x^3 + 3x^2 - 4)
i got
[7/(x+2)] - [5/(x+2)^2] + [3/(x-1)]

is that right?

PLEASE REPLY THANKS

sorry made an error in the 1st question meawn to be
for my solution

y= 1/2 ln ([2t-3] / [2 - t])

not this
y= ([2t-3] / [2-t]) ^ 1/2
 
<br /> y = \frac{{2e^t + 3e^{ - t} }}{{e^t + 2e^{ - t} }}<br />

Interchange y and t(it isn't necessary to do that but I prefer to).

<br /> t = \frac{{2e^y + 3e^{ - y} }}{{e^y + 2e^{ - y} }}<br />

<br /> t = \frac{{\frac{{2e^{2y} + 3}}{{e^y }}}}{{\frac{{e^{2y} + 2}}{{e^y }}}}<br />

<br /> t = \frac{{2e^{2y} + 3}}{{e^{2y} + 2}}<br />

<br /> te^{2y} + 2t = 2e^{2y} + 3<br />

<br /> \left( {t - 2} \right)e^{2y} = 3 - 2t<br />

<br /> e^{2y} = \frac{{3 - 2t}}{{\left( {t - 2} \right)}}<br />

<br /> y = \log _e \left( {\sqrt {\frac{{3 - 2t}}{{t - 2}}} } \right)<br />

Edit: Our answers for the first one are equivalent. To convert mine to yours just multiply the numerator and the denominator of the log argument by negative one and get rid of the square root by placing a factor of (1/2) in front of the log.

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
