Let V = set of all 3x1 matrices.

Define

+ to be the matrix addition

⦁ to be the matrix multiplication by a number

We know that V is a vector space. If W [a, b, 1] , a, b element of R then W is a subspace of V.

Let V be the set of all positive real numbers; define + by u+v = uv (+ is ordinary multiplication) and define • by c•v = . Prove that V is a vector space.

The equation for the instantaneous voltage across a discharging capacitor is given by 𝑣 = 𝑉𝑂𝑒 − 𝑡 𝜏 , where 𝑉𝑂 is the initial voltage and 𝜏 is the time constant of the circuit. The tasks are to: a) Draw a graph of voltage against time for 𝑉𝑂 = 12𝑉 and 𝜏 = 2𝑠, between 𝑡 = 0𝑠 and 𝑡 = 10𝑠. b) Calculate the gradient at 𝑡 = 2𝑠 and 𝑡 = 4𝑠. c) Differentiate 𝑣 = 12𝑒 − 𝑡 2 and calculate the value of 𝑑𝑣 𝑑𝑡 at 𝑡 = 2𝑠 and 𝑡 = 4𝑠. d) Compare your answers for part b and part c. e) Calculate the second derivative of the instantaneous voltage ( 𝑑 2 𝑣 𝑑𝑡2 ).

Six years ago Olwethu lent Happy R150 000 on condition that he would pay her back in nine years time. The applicable interest rate is 15,5% per year, compounded monthly. Happy also owes Olwethu another amount of R250 000 that he has to pay back six years from now for a loan that earned interest at 16,4% per year, compounded semi-annually. Happy asks Olwethu if he an settle both his debts three years from now. The total amount that Happy will have to pay Olwethu three years from now is
