seriously need some help

anyone ?

anonymous · Answer

My advice is to give alpha and beta values: so lets say alpha=30 and beta=60
put it into the equation and solve, if it comes out the same on both sides (like 2=2) then you have proven it to be true

hmmm... let me see if that works..thank you for replying.

no problem, just remember if you have to prove a theory the best way is to plug in random numbers. hope this helps :)

anonymous · Answer

it is not happening since I have "i" left , which is a problem.
