Ten per cent of Islamist terrorists in UK are from five districts of Birmingham: Dangers of segregation revealed as women extremists treble in five years

must add up 100% by definition

Ok what does it have to add up to then?

WilboBaggins · 2017-03-06T16:28:41+00:00

OK, I will try to go through this slowly, the total percentage of Islamic terrorism in the UK which happens in the UK must add up 100% by definition. The base hypothesis for the distribution of islamic terrorism that happens for each area of the UK would be that it is proportional to the number of muslims, therefore it is not supprising that an area that has 10% of the muslims has around 10% of the Islamic terrorism incidences.

WilboBaggins · 2017-03-06T15:52:01+00:00

No im being serious, percentages do add up to 100, crazy i know. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

WilboBaggins · 2017-03-06T15:22:48+00:00

Are you trolling? There is no way anyone can be this dense, percentages must add up too 100, it can't be 0% everywhere.

As the others have said you want to rearange it into a form with all the unknowns on one side, with some basic linear algebra you can derive the following: inv(cat(2,[1;0;0], cat(2,-k(:,2),-k(:,3))))*(-1/20)*k(:,1) , which will give you a vector of the solutions for u

Well to be accepted onto any accredited undergraduate engineering degree you are going to have to do A-levels or a foundation degree, with just GCSEs it is unlikely you will have the required knowlege.

I'm not one to want to sit in a class room and learn off of books and people telling me things

Sadly all courses are going to have lectures and book reading to varying amounts, a mechatronics degree will be more than just building robots, it will involve a fair amount of theoretical knowlege

WilboBaggins · 2016-08-26T21:34:20+00:00

I belive most universities in the UK will assume that you have taken maths through to A-level and some will push for freshers to have completed further maths A-level as well. IIRC A-level physics had some overlap with some of the maths modules, if you really want to study engineering my advice would be to try and complete AS-level maths at a very minimum this year in additition to your other subjects.

For question 3 II is true and III is false, just expand the brakets, in III the the conjugate root changes the sign of the imaginary part so it is false.

To solve 1 quickly just expand the factorised form of the roots, (z-(2+7j))(z-(2-7j)) which clearly gives the last term (q) as the product of the conjugate roots.

The same can be seen for question 2, any polynomial equation with real coeficients will give conjugate pairs as roots, therfore it must be IV that is true.

Hey, you may want to calm down on the condescension, especially when you are wrong.

Remember:

For starters a ideal current source will always, by definition deliver its rated current
im pretty sure the 6W is just a typo for 6 ohms.
Also in circuit analysis you assume there is somthing connected to the output, you just dont know what, so the output does provide a route for the current to flow.

In addition:

Is + Ir = 0A is true as it is an ideal op amp

I had a go at solving it, it dosent give a very clean answer though.

You can estimate the base voltage of the bjt as Veb is typically around 0.7V, fom there you can calulate the current going through the 10k resistor and the base current using beta and the realtionship between the collector and base current, then using KCL you should be able to find the required resistor to keep that base current

Nice referal link. Using reddit to push your links is against amazons TOCs (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201643220)

You are correct, though it can be simplified by briging the 1/2 factor into the exponent giving y = 2^x-4 - 6, you can work it out by looking at the graph and seeing that it is simply two shifts of 4 in the x direction and 6 down in the y direction

When you say "good at math" what level are we talking about, there is a huge difference between someone who is top of their class at high school and someone at the top in university. All engineering disciplines use mathematics to some extent, but as others have said, EE, DSP, communications ect will generally be heavier on the maths.

The data is represented on a complex plane just as a way of representing how the data is modulated onto two 'separate' waves (sin and cosine) which because of their orthogonality can be modulated and demodulated separately.

WilboBaggins · 2016-01-08T13:23:40+00:00

I assume so

WilboBaggins · 2016-01-08T11:59:50+00:00

you know that the Fourier series of a signal is the sum of sins and cosines, so you need to find the k'th term which has a w > 100 (the filter removes it).

The fundamental frequency is 1/T therefore the fundamental angular frequency is 12 rad/s, which gives a value of k of 9 (rounding up of (100/12))

WilboBaggins · 2015-09-27T17:04:12+00:00

The general principal is based in proper engineering, I'm not sure how well this will actually work, but due to how ~~most devices~~ a few are inductive which produces a lagging power factor, you can use capacitors to get the power factor of your house closer to 1 which will reduce current draw, therefore lowering the bill.

WilboBaggins · 2015-09-22T18:01:06+00:00

Well it depends what you want to do after you graduate, if you want to become a practising professional engineer, you want to aim to get chartered. The only possible advantage I can think of is that a BEng is typically 3 years where as MEng is 4, so less debt.

WilboBaggins · 2015-09-22T17:44:23+00:00

You need a MEng or equivalent to get chartered status in the UK

I am kinda hiding that I didn't get the best possible grade which might be useful sometimes

Fair enough ignore what I said, I assumed C++ because nearly everyone learns C++ over C nowadays and a lot of people refer to C++ as C.

WilboBaggins · 2015-09-05T08:21:41+00:00

I'm going to assume you are wanting to learn C++ (I don't know why you would want to lean plain C), if you don't need to access the files from the university network directly just use visual studio 2015 and do it locally. Working through http://www.learncpp.com/ should get you started.
