    Solving for x in a determinant

    Solve for x x -6 -1 2 -3x x-3 = 0 -3 2x x+2Attempt- x-2 3(x-2) -(x-2) 2 -3x x-3 -3 2x x+2 1 3 -1 2 -3x x-3 -3 2x x+2 1 3 -1 0 -3x-6 x-1 = 0 0 -x+3 2(x-1) x =-3 By doing this I'm getting just one value of x. How do i get the values of x like 2 and 1?

    Determinant's solving without expansion

    Solve without expanding the determinant having elements which are listed as follows row-wise = {1^2,2^2,3^2,2^2,3^2,4^2,3^2,4^2,5^2} where , the determinant is of the order 3 I have tried some combinations of operations performed row or column wise that could produce 2 zeros either in one of...

    How Can We Rewrite the Limit and Continuity Equation Lim(x-->0) x/a[b/x]?

    Sorry, they are very common in my exercise books square brackets mean the greatest integer value of the variable within and the curly brackets mean the fractional part of the variable within.

    How Can We Rewrite the Limit and Continuity Equation Lim(x-->0) x/a[b/x]?

    Lim(x-->0) x/a[b/x] can be written as x/a(b/x-{b/x}) how can we write this as lim(x-->0) (b/x -b/a({b/x}/{b/x}))?

    How Do You Calculate the Electric Field from the Electric Potential V=4x²?

    The electric potential V at any point (x,y,z) in space is given by V=4(x^2) volts (all in meters). The electric field at the point (1m,0m,2m) is? --> dV= - (E.dr), magnitude of r =sqrt(5), V at the point will be 4, which => 4=-*integration sign*E.dr how to solve this?

    Equation of an ellipse and tangents

    1) If we have the focus as (f,g) and the directrix as Ax+By+C =0 and the eccentricity as e we define the equation of the ellipse to be (x-f)2+(y-g)2 = e2(Ax+By+C)2 / A2+B2 Does this imply that the variables x and y in the locus of the directrix and the ellipse refer to the same thing?(we...

    Proving Two Bodies Moving Together are One System

    Like for the two blocks if you write the force equations the equations would be For both the blocks considered as a single system - F = (M+m)a And for just the block on which the force is applied F-N = ma1 and we say that a = a1; my questions is why?

    Proving Two Bodies Moving Together are One System

    How do you relate friction with the movement of the blocks? The case i took is on a friction less plane and assuming no friction between the blocks And i would really like you to answer the few questions i wrote in those brackets

    Proving Two Bodies Moving Together are One System

    How do we say(or prove) that when two bodies are moving together , they can be considered as one system? Suppose we have two blocks of wood kept on a friction less surface side by side and you apply a force on anyone of them. I suppose from left to right, then the force equations for each...

    Is the Series S = 12-22+32-42...+20092 Equivalent to -(1+2+3+...+2008)?

    S = 12-22+32-42...+20092 Attempt= S = (1+2)(1-2)+(3+4)(3-4)+...+(2007-2008)(2007+2008) [can we write this as -(1+2+3+4+5...2008) if yes, then why ?) +20092 Stuck after this.

    Can we write equations for strings in pulley systems?

    Ofcourse we can write the equations for blocks on a single fixed pulley taking the tension upwards and weight as downwards and then equating according to the acceleration. Can we write equations for the string (massless or with mass)?
