sinx =o/h=a/f but since perimater of triangle is half perimeter of rectangle, 2r+rx=1/2*8a=4a so 4a=r(2+x) so r=4a/(2+x)

so sinx=a/r=a/(4a/(2+x))=1/4(2+x)

Candy,
Your question : Prove that the real part of 1 / ( Z+ 2 – i ) is a constant where
Z=2 cos a +i(1 -2 sin a )

Here is the solution :

1 / ( Z+ 2 – i )

= 1 / [ 2  cos a + i( 1 – 2 sin a) +2 –i ]

= 1 / [ 2 cos a +2 + i ( 1 – 2 sin a-1 )]

= 1  / ( 2 cos a+ 2 – 2 i sin a)

=(1/2)*   [ 1/ (cos a+ 1 – i sin a) ]

=(1/2)*   [ 1 + cos a + i sin a]  /   [ (1 + cos a) – i sin a] [( 1 + cos a) + i sin a ]

=(1/2)* [ 1 + cos a + i sin a] / [ (1 + cos a)² –( i sin a)² ]

=(1/2)* (1 + cos a+ i sin a ) /   [ 1 + 2 cos a+ cos² a+ sin² a ]

=(1/2)* (1 + cos a + i sin a ) / (  2 + 2 cos a )

=(1/4) *( 1 + cos a + i sin a ) / ( 1 +  cos  a)

=(1/4)  +   (1/4)*( i sin a)  / (  1 + cos a )

           

The real part is  1 / 4 which is a constant

Another Pure maths 2/3 question...Please help...

For (ii) i find the angles by using a sin curve rather than +/-180 or 360.
I get confused by finding angles the other way! Do examiners accept the graphical method??
What are the methods that u guys use??
please Do the first part aswell... :)

mac one way to remember the quadrant is : ALL(1st quadrant)...STUDENTS(2nd quadrant)...TAKE(3rd quadrant)...COFFEE(4th quadrant)

All= sin cos tan
Students: sin
Take: tan
Coffe: cos

see the attachment!  :) :)

Candy,
I follow your working on the second part.I would like to forward the solution to you.
( My working below are in degree ,plz put the degree on yourself.)

13 sin ( 2x + 67.38 ) =11
 sin ( 2x + 67.38) = 11/13 = 0.8462
        2x + 67.38  =  57.8  degree,    122.2 degree
        2x              = -9.58,      54.82
                         = ( 360-9.580)  ,    54.82
                         =350.42,   54.82
          x              = 175.2,   27.41
                         =  175.2,  27.4

its ok i understand....i don't always get the angle right with this method....
Can i just use the sin graph to find the angles rather than +/- 180 or 360. I get confused with +/- , and when to use 180 or 360. What if i have to find more angles in the range. Do i just keep on adding 360??

for frist quarant all the sin,cos and tan are positive
for second quadrant , only sine is positive
for third quadrant , only tan is positive
for fourth quadrant , only cosine is positive

and u havta add 360 to the reference angle .. which is 57.8 in this case .. not to the final answer
