    need some help with complex numbers :( !

    So to answer your first question, if you took the negative, a is unreal. Remember if "a" is real then a^2 is positive and real. Type 5-\sqrt{29} into you calculator and you will find that the answer is negative so you HAVE to accept the positive answer for a^2. I can't seem to see what you...

    How Can I Improve My Standard English Marks?

    My advice is to analyse your texts (analyse techniques and how they show certain ideas of belonging or whatever module you are doing now) and type this down into your notes instead of just flipping back at your text to find the appropriate quote and wasting your time. But most importantly keep...

    complex

    $Ok so I tried doing it this way and got $z=2i$ and $w=-1+i\sqrt3\\\\$Now, $z-w=2i-(-1+i\sqrt3)\\\\\indent\indent\indent=1+i(2-\sqrt3)\\\\$To find arg (z-w), we use $tan \theta=\frac{2-\sqrt3}{1}$ where \theta=arg (z-w)\\\\tan\theta=2-\sqrt3\\\\\theta\approx 0.26\\\\\therefore arg (z-w)=0.26

    It's ok we can all learn from our mistakes :)

    Integration by substitution

    this is because you forgot to change the limits

    Integration by substitution

    \int ^4_0x\sqrt{16-x^2} dx\\\\$Using the substitution $u=16-x^2$ we can figure out that $\frac{du}{dx} =-2x$ which you can make into $xdx=-\frac{du}{2}$ since we can use this in the integral we are given.$\\\\$For the new limits: when $x=0, u=16$ and when $ x=4, u=0.\\\\$So we can now write it...

    What english should I do

    For now, I would pick advanced if I were you. Yr 10 is nothing like Yr 11 and 12, you'll see its a big jump but you can work hard on your writing (constantly write practice essays!) and analysis of texts so by the end of Yr 11 you can make the decision to stay in advanced or move to english...

    Parametric Parabola question, Please Help :)

    $So we know that the axis of parabola is parallel to the y-axis, which means that it is a vertical parabola so it is in the form:$\\\\(x – h)^2 = 4a (y – k)$ where (\textit{h,k}) is the vertex and we know that the vertex is (3,-1) so it is:\\\\ $(x – 3)^2 = 4a (y + 1)$\\\\$$Now, we want to...

    Binomials Finding the coe-efficient

    $Ok so we know the formula is $T_{k+1}=\binom{n}{k}a^{n-k}b^k \\\\$so looking at $\left(\frac{x^{1/2}}{2}-\frac{4}{x^{1/4}}\right)^9$ we can deduce that$\\\\T_{k+1}=\binom{9}{k}\left (\frac{x^{1/2}}{2} \right )^{9-k} \left (\frac{-4}{x^{1/4}} \right )^{k}\\\\$Now if we simplify (by collecting...

    complex numbers help!

    \therefore z^5-1\\\\=(z-{z_{1}})(z-{z_{2}})(z-{z_{3}})(z-{z_{4}})(z-{z_{5}})\\\\=(z-1})(z-{z_{2}})(z-{z_{3}})(z-\overline{z_{3}})(z-\overline{z_{2}})$ since $ {z_{1}}=1, {z_{4}}=\overline{z_{3}}$ and ${z_{5}}=\overline{z_{2}}\\\\$and we know that: $ (z-{z_{2}})(z-\overline{z_{2}})=z^2-2\...
