    tan^(-1) (x+1) is tan^(-1) (x) shifted left by 1 unit. -tan^(-1) (1-x) is -tan^(-1) (-x) shifted left by 1 unit.

    Try the following. A1 = 8500(1.01) A2 = [A1](1.01) A3 = [A2](1.01) - M A4 = [A3](1.01) - M BTW I don't really understand that satellite question.

    it doesn't include postage, does it? btw.. do the digital matrix discs get hot very quickly? (like if you put it in ur drive just for 10 seconds and then get it out) how many bad discs have u got with digital matrix?

    for (b): Not sure if the question is correct... if it is then I can't do it :p for (c): I used binomial expansion to expand the LHS, and manipulated / compared LHS and RHS at the same time, and then it turns out that "tan^2 @ - sin^2 @" must be the same as "tan^2 @ * sin^2 @" for the...

    polynomial question

    16x^4 + 16x^3 - 4x^2 - 4x + 1 has roots a, b, c, d a = cos 2pi/5 b = cos 4pi/5 = 2a^2 - 1 (double angle identity) c = cos -2pi/5 = a d = cos -4pi/5 = b sum of roots: a + b + c + d = -16/16 = -1 i.e. 2a + 4a^2 - 2 = -1 then you can find a, and b.

    Sketching of Curves

    the one in y=(lnx - 1)^3 is vertical isn't it? the y=+- infinity thing is always vertical you can look at the graph of y=log x... which may be useful to memorise... it goes down near x=0 to negative infinity, so y=(lnx - 1) will do the same, and so will y=(lnx - 1)^3

    Is this worth it?

    But it runs faster than P4 2.2GHz and should be somewhat similar to P4 3.0GHz I'd choose the $1,420 - AMD Athlon64 3000 but that's only because I want to try AMD (never had one in my life). It might be hotter than P4, I'm not very sure. BTW I think the DVI is not to capture video, but to...
