2. Solve the equation z 4 −3z 2 −4 = 0 for z ∈ C.
Solving for z:
(z-4)(z+1)=0
Z1=4 : Z2=-1
For Z1:
Z2 = 4
z= (+/-)2
For Z2:
Z2 = -1
z= (+/-)i
3. Let f : R → R, f (x) = 4+(x −1)3 . Find the equation of the line tangent to f at the y-axis. Give
your answer in the form y = ax +b, where a,b ∈ R.
To find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of \( f(x) = 4 + (x - 1)^3 \) at the y-axis, we need
to follow these steps:
2. Evaluate f'(x) at the point where the tangent line intersects the y-axis.
3. Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to write the equation of the tangent line.
f(x) = 4 + (x - 1)3
B. Evaluate f'(x) at the point where the tangent line intersects the y-axis. Since this point lies on the
y-axis, the x-coordinate is 0.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Since the tangent line intersects the y-axis, the point of tangency has coordinates (0, f(0):
y - f(0) = 3(x - 0)
y - 4 = 3x
y = 3x + 4
So, the equation of the line tangent to f(x) at the y-axis is y = 3x + 4, where a = 3 and b = 4.
4. The path of a particle is given by x = 3cos(2t), y = 4sin(2t) for t ≥ 0. Assume all dimensions are
given in metres, and time is in seconds.
(a) Find the Cartesian equation for the path of the particle.
To find the Cartesian equation, we can use the trigonometric identity sin2ø + cos2 ø = 1. In this
case, we can use the double angle identity (sin(2 ø) = 2sin(ø)cos(ø) to simplify the equations.
Similarly, given y = 4sin(2t), we can express (sin(2t) in terms of (y): sin(2t) = y/4
Now, we can substitute these expressions back into the double angle identity:
sin(2t) = 2sin(t)\cos(t)
y/4 = 2sin(t)(x/3)
sin(t) = (y/8)(3/x)
cos2(t) = 1 - sin2(t)
cos(t)=(+/-)√1 − sin2(t)
y 3
cos(t)=(+/-)√1 − ((8) (x)) ^2
Now, we have expressions for sin(t) and cos(t) in terms of x and y. The Cartesian equation is
given by the original parameterization x = 3cos(2t and y = 4sin(2t). So, substituting these
expressions for cos(t) and sin(t) back into the original parametric equations, we get the Cartesian
equation for the path of the particle:
y 3
X = (x/3)(+/-) √1 − ((8) (x)) ^2
The speed of a particle given by parametric equations x(t) and y(t) is given by the magnitude of its
velocity vector. The velocity vector is the derivative of the position vector with respect to time:
𝑑 𝑑
v(t) = 𝑑𝑡 rt = 𝑑𝑡x(t)I + y(t)j
(-6sin(2t))2
Speed π = √0 + 82 = 8
5. In a certain town, the probability that it rains on a randomly selected day is 0.2. If it rains, there is
a 0.1 chance that there will be at least one car accident on that day. If it does not rain, there is a
0.05 chance that there will be at least one car accident on that day. Given that there was an
accident on a randomly selected day, find the probability that it rained.
Defining events:
Find ( P(R | A) ), the probability that it rained given that there was an accident.
Since P(-R) is the probability that it did not rain, express it as ( 1 - P(R).
Calculate:
0.1*0.2
P(R | A) = 0.1*0.2 + 0.05*(1-0.2)
0.02
P(R | A) = 0.0.6
P(R | A) = 0.3333
Therefore, given that there was an accident on a randomly selected day, the probability that it
rained is 0.333333
