Use the exponential definition of the hyperbolic tangent:
The complex exponential has modulus one here, so . Its arguments satisfy . Thus all solutions are
The denominator is then , so no pole was admitted by cross-multiplication. Substitution also follows from and the period .
The complex number has complex modulus and argument . A cube root has modulus , and its argument is one third of . Hence the three distinct roots are
Their displayed arguments are , , and ; the last is equivalently in the principal range.
Resolve the input along the three perpendicular eigendirections. The linear map removes the component along , stretches the component along by , and reverses and stretches the component along by . Every output lies in the plane perpendicular to . A nonzero input in the kernel of a linear map is sent to zero; other nonzero inputs remain in that output plane. Equivalently, take the orthogonal projection onto this plane, then scale by the two signed eigenvalues along its perpendicular eigendirections.
Expand an arbitrary vector in the orthonormal eigenbasis:
Its image has no component along , so
Alternatively, symmetry gives . This is image-kernel orthogonality for an adjoint, with .
The symmetry between the first and third coordinates makes an eigenvector, with eigenvalue . In the remaining invariant plane, write a vector as . Its image is , so the reduced eigenvalue equation has determinant
The corresponding directions have for and for . Normalizing gives
Their squared unnormalized norms are . The pairwise unnormalized dot products are , , and , so these unit eigenvectors are mutually orthogonal. The eigenvalues sum to and have product zero, agreeing with part (a).
Expanding the determinant along the first row gives
The matrix trace is the sum of the diagonal entries, . Since the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues, at least one eigenvalue is zero. Thus is singular; the determinant alone does not specify the two other eigenvalues.
For the partial fraction decomposition, write . Clearing denominators gives . Substitution at and yields and , hence
The original line meets the horizontal axis at . A perpendicular line has slope , the negative reciprocal of , so
Substituting verifies the required common point.
Write the rational expression as and apply the chain rule:
The denominator is positive for every real , so the derivative is defined throughout the real line.
The product rule for divergence, , and the result in (a) give, for ,
This is a pointwise identity away from the origin, where the radial unit vector is undefined.
For , use the gradient of a radial function with :
Equivalently each component is by differentiating . The origin is excluded from the function's domain.
For the divergence in Cartesian coordinates, differentiate each component with respect to its own coordinate:
The third component contributes zero because it is independent of .
First take , then differentiate with respect to . The product rule and chain rule give
The function is smooth, so the two mixed partial derivatives agree.
Project the radius vector onto the - plane. The polar angle lies between the positive axis and . The azimuth lies in the - plane between the positive axis and the projection of , measured toward positive .

. Details.
Use the convention that is the polar angle from positive , and the azimuth from positive . The radius is
Then , while and both planar coordinates are positive. Thus the spherical coordinates are
Use differentiation under the integral sign, justified by the integrable bound . This gives
Integration by parts makes the boundary term vanish: sine vanishes at zero and the Gaussian tends to zero at infinity. Therefore
The integrating factor makes , so . At , the given half-line Gaussian integral fixes . Thus
This is the even cosine-transform form of the Fourier transform of a Gaussian.
For , integrate the base power to obtain . Since , differentiating times gives
Here is a nonnegative integer. For justification, keep in a small closed interval bounded below by . The differentiated integrands are dominated by , whose integral becomes under and is finite. The dominated convergence theorem establishes the needed differentiation under the integral sign and the logarithmic moments of a power on the unit interval.
Under the regularity and integrability conditions for the Leibniz integral rule,
The first two terms account for the moving endpoints; the last accounts for the integrand's own parameter dependence.
For a real number , the hyperbolic functions satisfy and . Hence , and multiplying it by gives
The sign of the numerator preserves the sign of .

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
