The change in time is given by $\Delta t = \frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta \theta \times t$.
- $12 = \frac{1}{2} \alpha (40 - \theta) \times 86400$
- $-4 = \frac{1}{2} \alpha (20 - \theta) \times 86400$
- Dividing the equations gives $\theta = 25^{\circ}\text{C}$.
- Substituting $\theta$ back gives $\alpha = 1.85 \times 10^{-5}/^{\circ}\text{C}$.
A ball is thrown vertically upward with initial speed $u$. The distance covered during the last $t$ seconds of its ascent is:
By time-reversal symmetry: the last $t$ seconds of ascent is equivalent to free fall from rest for $t$ seconds.
Distance $= \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$
The text's emphasis on 'most of these elements will affect you at some point in your career' suggests HRM knowledge is:
HRM knowledge is universally applicable - whether you work in HRM or not, whether you work with organizations or have people working for you, you will be dealing with people and affected by HR practices. It's essential knowledge for all professionals.
If $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{C}$ are distinct roots of $x^2-x+1=0$, find $\alpha^{101}+\beta^{107}$.
The roots of $x^2-x+1=0$ are $x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-3}}{2}=-\omega,-\omega^2$ where $\omega=e^{2\pi i/3}$.
Let $\alpha=-\omega, \beta=-\omega^2$. Then:
$\alpha^{101}=(-\omega)^{101}=-\omega^{101}=-\omega^{101\mod3}=-\omega^2$ (since $101=33\times3+2$)
$\beta^{107}=(-\omega^2)^{107}=-\omega^{214}=-\omega^{214\mod3}=-\omega^1$ (since $214=71\times3+1$)
$\alpha^{101}+\beta^{107}=-\omega^2-\omega=-(w+\omega^2)=-(-1)=\mathbf{1}$
