I'm REALLY sorry I don't have the paper to attach :|

iii) Find no. of ways where there is an absence of rose bush of each color.

total ways  = 210

no. of ways in which there is no yellow rose bush = 8C6 = 28

no. of ways in which there is no pink bush = 7C6 = 7

Red bushes have to be dere in all selections as there are 5 of them

so 210 - 28 - 7 = 175

y=kx-2
y2=4x-x2
substitute the first equation in the second
(kx-2)2=4x-x2
k2x2-4kx+4=4x-x2
k2x2+x2-4kx-4x+4=0
(k2+1)x2+(-4k-4)x+4=0
now the line meets the curve provided that for the above equation the discriminant or b2-4ac>=0
where a=k2+1,b=-4k-4 and c=4
b2-4ac>=0
(-4k-4)2-4(k2+1)(4)>=0
16k2+32k+16-16k2-16>=0
32k>=0
k>=0
i hope this helped, and is this the correct answer? :)

Oh great, thanxx +rep. Yes this is the correct answer ;)
By the way are you taking Add Maths this year?

Helloooo, :D
ummm i need help with Q2 please? :) i can find the first two values but... how do you find the rest? :o and how do you know how many 'values' can fit in within the range?  :-\
THANKS IN ADVANCE ;D

okay
3sin(x/2-1)=1
sin(x/2-1)=1/3
convert the given range for x into a range for (x/2-1) which is the basic angle here
0<x<6pi
0<x/2<3pi
-1<x/2-1<3pi-1
-1<x/2-1<8.425
now denote x/2-1 by a(alpha but i cant write that here so a it is)
sin a is positive in 1st and 2nd quadrants
a=sin-1(1/3)=0.3398
in the 1st quadrant a=0.3398
in 2nd a=pi-0.3398=2.802
but we can go till 8.425 as indicated in the range
so another value of a=2pi+0.3398=6.623
but no other value for 2nd quadrant cause it goes outside range(2.802+2pi=9.085>8.425
so a=0.3398,2.802,6.623
x/2-1=0.3398,2.802,6.623
x/2=1.3398,3.802,7.623
x=2.6796,7.604,15.246
x=2.68,7.60,15.2 correct to 3sf
is this correct?

YEP its correct ;) Thank Youuuu :D !
btways if the range is from 0<x< 6pi radians..
isnt the max supposed to be = 18.85? :( why is it ...8.425?  :o :o :o :o
youre right ;D ..but why isnt  it 6pi = 18.85?  :-\ thanks!!!!!

thats because theyve given you the range for x but the angle whos sine is being taken in the question is x/2-1, not x so whatever angle you find after taking inverse sine will be for x/2-1, not x itself. thats why you have to convert the given range for x to a range for x/2-1
that means for the limits given (0 and 6pi) you divide by 2 to get x/2 and then subtract 1 to get x/2-1 which is the required range
and by the way i gave add math in june 2009 and i gave a level math in june 2010
so yeah just felt like helping others out for the add math exam tomorrow :)
oh and HI ASTAR....remember me?
