    Binomial theorem

    Quicker erh... sort of.. but it's a bit ad hoc: (y+1/y)^10 (y-1/y)^7 = (y^2 - 1/y^2)^7 (y+1/y)^3 the first bracket has powers (14,10,6,2,-2,-6,-10,-14) and the 2nd one has (3,1,-1,-3) so the only ways to get a power of -3 is to match -2 with -1 and 3 with -6 so it becomes (3 C 2) * (7 C 4) +...

    Tough ( ? ) Induction Question

    cambridge 4u helpppp

    (i) If h=a+ib and k=c+id, the condition here is equivalent to ac + bd = 0 but a = c = -p and b = -d = sqrt(q-p^2) <-- (why?) so this means that the condition is 2p^2 - q = 0, and we require also that q=/=0 (why?) (ii) what's A and B? need the questions to do it unfortunately By...

    How hard is Actuarial Studies

    depending on who one is, actuarial can be hard for different reasons. There are those who have shaky maths background and have no clue of whats going on. And then, there are those who find it trivial in the first year and turned apathetic.

    linear algrebra question

    I think sirius overlooked the fact that the + here does not mean the usual union. it means (direct) sum, which is, all vectors of the form a+b where a is in A and b is in B, because of this A+B will contain more points/vectors than A union B. by the way, you can also think of A+B as the...
