Would it be possible to write the KCL equation for the redundant node? Why?
The redundant node can be defined as a node which links at least one branch which doesn’t contain any elements.
1 AnswerHomework Help6 years agoHow to find an inverse of modular multiplicative using Fermat's little theorem?
Fermat's Little Theorem is that a^(k-1) = 1 mod k. a and k must be co-prime. K must be prime
Could you please explain in detail. I am lost. :(
Example: 4^-1 mod 5
4^(5-1) congruent to 1 mod 5
4 * 4^3 congruent to 1 mod 5
The inverse is 4^3 mod 5
Is this correct?
Then use the squaring method to find the solution in the range?
1 AnswerMathematics8 years agoDiscrete Mathematics: Big-Oh notation?
I understand that to find the big-oh estimate, one should find the function that grows the fastest.
Example: The big-oh estimate for 5n + 3n^2 + 3 is 0(n^2)
However, I am not sure what to do in cases such as
1) n^3*4^n + 5^n + 16*sqrt(n) I understand that the sqrt(n) will grow the slowest. However, I do not know how to evaluate the expression n^3*4^n. I assumed the answer to be O(n^3*4^n) but it was O(5^n)
2)1+(1/logn)
3)17sqrt(n) + n*3^n*logn + 4^n
Can someone please explain in detail. Thanks

1 AnswerEconomics8 years agoMember Functions in C++?
const void printData (const int array[])const;
The first const indicates that the the value returned by the function cannot be changed.
The second const (inside the argument) means that I cannot change the explicit parameter.
The third const means that I cannot change any of the class's member data.
Is this correct?
Does the third const have something to do with the implicit parameter?
Also, is there any restriction on how many implicit or explicit parameters a member function can have?
1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoNeed help with struct multiple questions. C++?
struct Point{
double x;
double y;
};
1. How many total double locations are allocated by the above struct definition?
a. 2 b. 1 c. 3 d. 0 e. 4
I think the answers is d (0) a struct definition defines a new type; it is the variable definition of that type that creates memory for each of the struct's members
2. How many total double locations are allocated by the following Point declarations?
a. 2 b. 1 c.3 d.0 e.4
I think the answer is e(4)
Am I right? Could someone explain in detail please.
1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoDifference between global function and member functions in C++?
Isn't global function, a function that can be called anywhere in the program? And a member function, functions that are declared as member of a class? However is there any difference between the number of implicit or explicit parameters that either of two function take? Which is the implicit parameter in a global and member function?
Thanks
2 AnswersProgramming & Design8 years agoA curve is given in polar coordinates by r = theta, 0 < theta < 2pi?
Is this the correct way to approach the problem?
Parameterize the polar curve
x = t*cos(t)
y = t*sin(t)
derivative of x = cos(t) - tsin(t)
derivative of y = sin(t) + tcos(t)
length of curve is integral from 0 to 2pi of square root of ( cos(t) - tsin(t))^2 + (sin(t) + tcos(t))^2 dt
2 AnswersMathematics8 years agoFind the area enclosed by parametric curves?
x = t^2
y = 1-cos(t)
0 < t < 2pi
I don't care if you solve the problem. But can you please help me setup the equation.
The formula for find the area is integral from a to b of y dx.
y in this case is 1-cost
dx in this case is 1-cost
so area should be integral from 0 to 2pi of (1-cost)(1-cost)dt
Is this correct?
2 AnswersMathematics8 years agoHelp with Applications of 2nd Pendulum?
The figure on page 1179 of your text shows a pendulum with length L (meters) and angle theta (radians) from the vertical to the pendulum. It can be shown that theta as a function of time satisfies the differential equation:
d^2theta/(dt^2)+gLsin(theta) =0
where g=9.8 m/sec^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. For small values of we can use the approximation sin(theta) = theta, and with that substitution, the differential equation becomes linear. A. Determine the equation of motion of a pendulum with length 2 meters and initial angle 0.2 radians and initial angular velocity dtheta/dt 0.4 radians/sec.
I figure out the solution to part A by solving the equation m^2 + g/L = 0
The solution is .2cos(sqrt(4.9)t)+.18070sin(sqrt(4.9)t)
I need help with the following two parts
At what time does the pendulum first reach its maximum angle from vertical? (You may want to use an inverse trig function in your answer)
What is the maximum angle (in radians) from vertical?
I would appreciate if you don't give me an answer; instead, explain in detail how to approach the problem.
2 AnswersMathematics8 years agoNot linear in y but linear in x Differentiable Equation?
(y^2+x)*dy/dx - y = 0
dy/dx = 1/(dx/dy)
(y^2+x)(1/(dx/dy)) - y = 0 STEP ONE
y^2+x - y*(dx/dy) = 0 STEP TWO
(dx/dy) - (x/y) - y = 0 STEP THREE
Can someone clearly explain how to get from step one to two to three.
2 AnswersMathematics8 years agoLinear Equation (Differentiable equation)?
y^-1*dy/dx - (2/x)ln(y) = (1-2ln(x))/x
dy/dx - (2/x)ln(y)*y = y * (1-2ln(x))/x
This would have been a Bernoulli equation. However, what throws me off is the ln(y) in (2/x). Would I include it in my integrating factor e^(integral of (-2/x)ln(x)) ?

2 AnswersMathematics8 years agoNeed help with particular induction proof n! > 2^n for all n >= 4?
This is what I have so far:
Base case: Let n = 4
4*3*2*1 >? 2^4
24 > 16
Assume that the formula holds true for n = k
k! > 2^k
Want to prove that the formula holds true for k+1
(k+1)! > 2^(k+1)
(k+1)! > 2 * 2^k
I understand that I need to some how use the assumption to prove that the formula holds true for k+1.
Could someone please explain in detail
Someone had post this question on yahoo answers before, but I don't understand this portion of best answer:
" by our induction hypothesis, since k! > 2^k, it means 2^k< k!, and
2 * (2^k) < 2 * k!
But 2 < k + 1, because k is greater than 4, so it follows that
2 * k! < (k + 1)k! "
Where did the "2 < k+1" come from. Is that just an observation. Thank You

3 AnswersMathematics8 years agoSolve the separable equation?
Solve the separable differential equation
dx/dt =x^2+1/49 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=−8
Here is what I have done so far
dx/dt = (49x^2+1)/49
49dx = (49x^2+1)dt
dx/(49x^2+1) = dt/49 take antiderivative of both sides
arctan(7x) = t/49 +C
arctan(7*-8) = 0 + C
arctan(-56) = C
arctan*7x = t/49 + arctan(-56)
