Recall that a number y is rational if it satisfies y-p/q where p and q are integers and q 0 prove that any number of the form a + b v5 is irrational, where a, b are integers andb 0. (4 marks)

Consider the polynomials given below. p(x) = x4 + 3x3 + 2x2 – x + 2 q(x) = (x3 + 2x2 + 3)(x2 – 2) determine the operation that results in the simplified expression below. 35 + x4 – 573 - 3x2 + x - 8 a. p+q b. pq c.q-p d. p-q

Find cot x if sin x cot x csc x = √2

Amass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8/3 feet. the mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity. find the equation of motion if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t)=cos(2t).
