how?
use algebra ro find the se of values for x for which x (x-5 ) > 36  [this one is easy i got the answer right x<-4,x>9]
use ur answer from part a , find the set of  values of y for which y^2 ( y^2 -5 ) > 36

how??

thanks in advanced. seems easy but not for me.

Let y4 be x2.
Now try and get the values of x and then of y by :
x2 = y4

Continuous efforts matter more than the outcome.

This is quite a trickly log question
Solve 6 log_4 x - 5x log_4 x +20x =24
Solution
(log_4 x) (6- 5x) =24-20x
(log_4 x) (6- 5x) -4(6-5x) =0
(log_4 x -4)(6- 5x) =0
Hence log_4 x -4 =0 \rightarrow log_4 x =4 \rightarrow x=4^4 =256 or 6-5x=0 \rightarrow x=6/5 .

Is it from the C2 specification? and which chapter?

Thanks.

I don't think it is c2 though it is logs. Someone sent it to me.

In triangle PQR , PQ= (x+2 ) , PR = ( 5-x) and angle p = 30*. The area of the trangle is A.
a show that A = .25 ( 10 + 3x - x^2) --- easy.
b.use the method of completing the square or otherwise , to find the maximum value of A and give the corresponding value of x.
i really dont understand HOW THE ANSWER IS 3 1/16 WHEN X = 1/2

this is exactly the same.

In triangle ABC , AB= (2-X) BC = (X+1) ANGLE B = 120

show that AC^2 = x^2 - x + 7---easy
find the value of x for which AC has a minium value. The answer is 1/2

thanks

b. complete the square
0.25(10+3x-x^2)=0.25(10+(-1.5^2+3x-x^2)+1.5^2)=0.25(10-(x-1.5)^2-2.25)=0.25(12.25-(x-1.5)^2)
Put x=1.5 then x-1.5=0 and 0.25(12.25-(x-1.5)^2)=0.25*12.25=3 1/16
For the second question
x^2-x+7=(x-0.5)^2-0.5^2+7=(x-0.5)^2+6.75
min when (x-0.5)^2=0 so x=1/2

Good morning !
When drawing SKETCH graphs for logarithms (EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS ) do we make a simple table of values? because they always if us a range of values of x?

PS : SORRY I JUST REALISED IT SAID DRAW AN ACCURATE GRAPH.

Salaam,
I have a few doubts in the Edexcel C1 textbook.

Edexcel C1 textbook - Chapter 5: Coordinate Geometry in the (x,y) plane - Mixed Exercise (5F) :-

Page 88, Question no. 8, part (c) --> Calculate the area of triangle ACD.
Page 89, question 12, part (b) --> find the area of triangle OAB.

Both triangles are on the (x,y) plane and the coordinates of all three vertices of each of them is known.

We have already studied the formula for finding the area of a triangle provided the length of two of its sides and the angle between them. We will also meet the same formula in the C2 module. Here, I don't think we have to use the same formula for finding the area of a triangle that we came across in IGCSE math.

I will look through the step-by-step solutions available with me but, for the moment, it would be great if someone who have solved this could help out.

Thank you.

Q8 =  The straight line L1 passes through the points A and B with coordinates ( 0,-2 ) and (6,7) respectively.
a. find the equation of L1 in the form of y= mx + c
The straight line L2 with equation x + y = 8 cuts the y-axis at point C. The lines L1 and L2 intersect t the point D.
b. Calculate the coordinated of point D
c. Calculate the area of ACD

Q 12
Find an equation of a straight line passing through the points with coordinates  (-1,5) (4,-2) , giving your answer in the form of ax+ by +c=0
where a , b , c are integers.
The line crosses the x-axis  at the point A and the y -axis at the point B , and O is the origin
b.find the area of OAB.

thse are mkH's questions.
