(1+px)^n

Therefore we can use the (1+x) rule.
1+pnx+\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}(px)^2

Therefore, we can notice similarities

np=30

Also
\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}=45
n^2-n-90=0
n=10 or n=-9
n is positive, so n=10

np=30
p=3

(a) For a triangle ABC, show that
   (i) AB is perpendicular to BC
   (ii) BM = CM, where M is the midpoint of AC
(b) Find also an equation of circle passing through A, B & C

okay, i can help in a)i) part

for AB to be perpendicular to BC, the product of their gradients shud be -1

lets try, 'm' of AB = (9-3)/(5-1) = 6/4 = 3/2

           'm' of BC = (7-9)(8-5) = -2/3

3/2 * -2/3 = -1

hence proved.

a)ii) first find the co-ordinates of M i.e ((8+1)/2, (7+3)/2) = (4.5,5)

length of BM = sqrt((5-9)^2 + (4.5-5)^2 = sqrt(16 + 0.25) = sqrt(16.25) = 4.03

length of CM= sqrt((5-7)^2 + (4.5-8)^2 = sqrt(4 + 12.25) = sqrt(16.25)  = 4.03

b) Eqn of a circle = (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
 
h,k = co-ordinates of the center of the circle, here of M

h = 4.5
k = 5
r = 4.03

(x-4.5)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 16.25

Hence proved

And for part b for the bank question the formula is

The G.P Sqnce is : P + P(1+r%) + P(1+r%)^2 ...P(1+r%)^n-1
Thats the sqnce for n years ...

We know that the sum for any G.P is a1((1-(r)^n)/1-r) Where r is the common ratio or w.e

so it becomes 400((1-(1+r%)^12)/1-(1+r%))
Giving you 9364.563977


For the triangle question

Part a was explained correctly .. you do the slope product = -1

For part b

You use distance fromula to find distance between BM and MC .. Given that M is the midpt so you use midpt formula which is Ax+Cx /2 same for y .. Gives you that point M is 4.5,5

So the distance between B and M is Radical 65 / 2 .. radical for 65 only

you show you get the same answer for applying it for between BM and MC ..

And now part C ..

They want the circle that passes through all of them .. It makes sense that M should be the center cause BM = MC = AM .. (remember M is the midpt of AC and you just proved BM = MC )

So the formula of the circle becomes : (x-4.5)2+(y-5)2= Part b answer ^2  ( equal to 65/4)

Simply done :D

The curve C has equation y = cos( x + pie/4) ,  0 < x < 2pie.

 

(a)   Sketch C.                                                                                                                   (2 marks)

 

(b)   Write down the exact coordinates of the points at which C meets the coordinate axes.

       (3 marks)

 

(c)   Solve, for x in the interval 0 <x < 2pie,

cos ( x + pie/4) = 0.5,
            giving your answers in terms of p.

Q7
Title: Re: C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: Saladin on May 07, 2010, 04:07:29 pm
Ok, I answered question 1. Just in degrees. It is simple the cos(x) graph moved 45 degrees back.

(b) You know the x-axis intercepts. They are \frac{\pi}{4} and \frac{5\pi}{4}. They are simple the places where the original cos(x) crosses the x-axis but -\frac{\pi}{4} those values.

(c) cos(x+\frac{\pi}{4})=0.5

There are two possible values of cos(x)=0.5

Now you also are told to find all intercepts, so also y axis. Simple make x=0 and calculate the value of y through the equation to get 0,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

They are:

\frac{\pi}{3} and \frac{5\pi}{4}. So you simply now equate this back into the equation.

And you will get \frac{\pi}{12} and \frac{17\pi}{12}.

Hope that helps.

(a) For a triangle ABC, show that
   (i) AB is perpendicular to BC
   (ii) BM = CM, where M is the midpoint of AC
(b) Find also an equation of circle passing through A, B & C

(b)
the equation of the circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2
where (h,x) is the midpoint of the circle and r = radius of the circle
substitute the values of A (1,3) in the place of (x,y) in the equation..
like this
(1-h)^2 + (3-b)^2 = r^2
do the same with points B and C
with B : (5-h)^2 +(9-b)^2 = r^2
with C : (8-h)^2 + (7-b)^2 - r^2

the radius of the circle is the same
therefore all the equations above should be equal

(1-h)^2 + (3-b)^2 = (5-h)^2 + (9-b)^2 = (8-h)^2 + (7-b)^2
rearrange them and you'll get one of the values of either h or B
then subsitute this value to get the other values
you'll get the midpoint of the circle
all you need is the radius now
so use one of the points example A which is (1,3)
(1-h)^2 +(3-b)^2 = r^2
to get it since you have the values of the midpoint (h,b) which u would've have obtained previously  ::)

Title: Re: C1 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: vanibharutham on May 14, 2010, 05:52:14 pm
7d)

u have to find x4 to get the sequence

x1 = 1
x2 = -0.5
x3 = 1
x4 = -0.5

see the sequence?
all evens are -0.5
all odds are 1

therefore x2008 = -0.5
Its a repeating sequence


10a)

hmm

easy way to do this:

you know that the curve will cross the x-axis when y = 0
therefore, x = -3 and x = 1

You should also note that it is a cubic function

and that when x = 0 , y = 3

you know have three points

(0,3) (-3,0) and (1,0)

make sure it goes through those points and that it is cubic

here is a sketch:

What's the equation to finding the length of a line ??
Title: Re: C1 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on May 15, 2010, 06:50:56 pm
distance between 2 points sqrt((x_2 -x_1)^2 +(y_2 -y_1)^2)

10a)

hmm

easy way to do this:

you know that the curve will cross the x-axis when y = 0
therefore, x = -3 and x = 1

You should also note that it is a cubic function

and that when x = 0 , y = 3

you know have three points

(0,3) (-3,0) and (1,0)

make sure it goes through those points and that it is cubic

here is a sketch:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+x%C2%B3+%2B+x%C2%B2+-5x+%2B+3 (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+x%C2%B3+%2B+x%C2%B2+-5x+%2B+3)


Ok, I got 7(d) but how exactly do you know whether the curve in 10(a) goes up then down or down then up.

It is the sum of terms 10 to 30. Inclusive of the 10th term.

Thus, you have to subtract the sum of the first 9 terms to get the answer.

I hope that answers your question.

a=2

Because what you have to do is simple give a function, that will map the current graph to have the maximum point in the y-axis.

This means moving the graph 2 units horizontally to the rite.

Thus, the graph is y=f(x+2)

2^5 = 32 and square root of 2 is 2^(1/2). Therefore multiplying the 2 values, you'll get 2^(5+1/2) = 2^(11/2)

You have to use the trapezium rule.

Find the area of the trapezium.
\frac{1}{2}(4.6+2)*8=26.4

Then take the remaining triangle away.

\frac{1}{2}*8*2=8

Then

26.4-8=18.4

You mean when co-ordinates are given for line AB where A is (x1,y1) B is (x2,y2)
Then length of line = ?[(x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)²]
I hope this helps.

We need to find h in terms of r.

Therefore, the volume is equal to,

300=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta h

h=\frac{600}{r^2}

Now you need to find what makes the surface area.

2 sectors + 2 rectangles + curved face

So, \frac{1}{2}*2*r^2+rh+2rh


r^2+\frac{1800}{r}

I hope that explains everything.

y'=2-(16/x^3)
the minimum point is-->
2-(16/x^3)=0
8=x^3
x=2
we can show it is minimum by finding the second derivate-->
y''=48/x^2
f''(2)=12
therefore since the second derivate is positive it is a minima
therefore x>2

Alrite here it comes.

First you need to find the angle of the sector of the circle. The angle is 60o because the semi-circle is divided into three equal parts as two other quarter circles combine to for two separate circles. Its like this, you need to view the other two quartiles as triangles. Thus the sector of B and C is one of the three. And half a circle is 180o. Thus dividing it by three will give you \frac{\pi}{3} radians.

So, now you need to understand that the gap is formed when the two segments of the circle is taken away from sector.

So you simply do this.

Find the area of the sector!

\frac{1}{2}r^2[\frac{\pi}{3} - sin(\frac{\pi}{3})]

Now the area of the section!

\frac{1}{2}r^2*\frac{\pi}{3}

Now the area of the shaded region is the area of [Area of section - 2 X Area of Sector].

This will lead to the image attached.

the sign in the question that is given is positive while im getting negative
i checked the mark scheme if anything was wrong but my method was exactly same as in MS but the answer is different
i have posted the question below

2x+2y+(pi*x)=80
2y=80-pi*x-2x
ar=2xy+((pi*(x^2))/2)
ar=x(80-pi*x-2x)+((pi*(x^2))/2)
ar=80x-(pi*(x^2))-2(x^2)+((pi*(x^2))/2)
ar=80x-((pi*(x^2))/2)-2(x^2)
ar=80x-(x^2)(pi/2+2)
hence proved

y=cosx+cos(pi/4)
y=cosx+(1/root 2)
x=0
y=1+(1/root 2) (as cos0=1)
therefore intersection with the y-axis-->
(0,1+(1/root 2))



for the second step 
y=cosx+(1/root 2)
 am getting the 1/root 2  as 0.707 as decimals???? how did u get it as fraction form?
otherwise i get the rest
thx :D

yeah its the same thing 0.707 is the decimal form of 1/root 2, its actually a known fact the values of sin, cos, tan of 0,30,45,60,90 are all given in our cie book so i guess thats how i knw it, ill just give u a list of the values so u can learn them for future qs-->
sin0=0, sin30=1/2, sin45=1/root 2, sin60=(root 3)/2, sin 90=1, cos0=1, cos 30=(root 3)/2, cos 45=1/root 2, cos 60=1/2, cos 90=0, tan0=0, tan 30=1/root 3, tan45=1, tan 60=root 3, tan 90=1/0 (undefined)

Could someone please explain how to do 4b in this paper
http://www.xtremepapers.net/Edexcel/Mathematics/2008%20Jan/6664_01_que_20080109.pdf

I get some of the answers but how exactly do I get all 6? I'm still kinda confused in trigonometric functions. So if anyone could give some notes about how to find other angles after finding the first one through the equation, that would be really helpful.

Thanks

sin^2 x = 0.6

sin x = +/- sqrt(0.6) = =/- 0.7745

x = sin(-1) 0.7745 = 50.7

180-50.7 = 129.3

x = sin(-1) -0.7745 = -50.7

180 - (-50.7 ) = 230.7

360 - 50.7 = 309.7

answers : 50.7, 129.3, 230.7, 309.7

cos 3x = -0.5

y - 3x

cos y = -0.5

y = cos-1 -0.5 = 120
360+120 = 480. 480/3 = 160
360 - 120 = 240 . 240/3 = 80

x = 80
x = 160
3x = 120

x = 40
x = 360-40 = 320

Guys can anyone post the formula for Area,volume or surface area for the following:
1)cuboid
2)Prism
3)cylinder
4)semi circle
5)Rectangular box
Title: Re: C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 05, 2010, 12:09:41 pm
1) Cuboid
 
Volume - Lenght*Breadth*Height

Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)

2) Prism

 Volume = Area of floor*height

Surface area =  2 * area of base  +  perimeter of base * H

3) Cylinder - Pir^2h (Vol.)

 Surface area --> 2pir^2 + 2pirh

4) Semi-circle - > Area - (pi*r^2)/2

5) Box - if u mean cuboid? answered, if u mean cube - VOlume - l*B*H

Surface area = 4(LB)

the x coordinates of A and B are 2-12/2=6=-4 aand 2+12/2=8

y coordinate of A
(x-2)^2+(y+1)^1=169/4
(-4-2)^2+(y+1)^1=169/4
36+(y+1)^1=169/4
(y+1)^2=6.25 so y=+-sqrt(6.25)-1=-3.5 or 1.5 but y<0 so -3.5
the x coordinates of A and B are 2-12/2=6=-4 aand 2+12/2=8

y coordinate of B
(x-2)^2+(y+1)^1=169/4
(8-2)^2+(y+1)^1=169/4 so 36+(y+1)^1=169/4
(y+1)^2=6.25 so y=+-sqrt(6.25)-1=-3.5 or 1.5 but y<0 so -3.5
A=(-4,-3.5) B=(8,-3.5)

January 2010 Question 7 (d)

Find the area underneath the curve between (4,0) and (5,0)

Because this area in combination with the region are will make a triangle.

\int_{4}^{5}(x^2-5x+4)=\frac{11}{6}

The area of the triangle is \frac{1}{2}*4*4=8

So, now simply take away the excess region from the triangle.

8-\frac{11}{6}=6\frac{1}{6}

cos  theta = 1 is 0 and 360, if 360 is inclusive.

90 and 270 are values for cos  theta = 0. 

You are confusing with sin theta = 1 and -1.

Okay, I guess Dude eliminated the 4x.

4x(x - 25)(x - 20) > 0

3 critical values:

x = 0, x = 20, x = 25.

V = 4x(x - 25)(x - 20)
As x tends to infinity; V tends to infinity.
As x tends to -ve infinity; V tends to -ve infinity.

See the curve in the attachment.

V > 0; upper part lying above the line.

Therefore, 0 < x < 20, and x > 25.

Now, why is x > 25 eliminated...

U just gotta plot the graph correctly.

(b) can be done by lookin at the graph itself..check for the highest and lowest points, and rite em down,

(c) f(x) = 2.5 means

y = 2.5

5sin 3x = 2.5

sin 3x = 1/2 ..say (a = 3x)

sin a = 0.5

a = (sin)-1 0.5 = 30

a = 3x =  30

x = 10

3x = 180-30 = 150

x = 50

3x = 360+30 = 390

x = 130

---b = 3x-----
b = 150

b= 360+150 = 510

3x = 510

For this one, it's a question of 1 mark only... So, you won't have to do all that long method.

Besides, it's asking you to state the answer.

Simple logic again, look at the width of the rectangle. Its 40 cm. So maximum of x cannot be more than half of the width, 0 < x < 20.

sure np

(a)   Write down formulae for sin (A + B) and sin (A - B).

   Using X = A + B and Y = A- B, prove that

               Sin X + sin Y = 2 sin  X+Y/2 cos X-Y/2

b) hence solve for 0<=x<360

Okay you expand Sin(X) which is equal to Sin(A+B)= SinACosB + SinBCosA and expand Sin(Y) which is equal to Sin(A-B)=SinACosB -SinBCosA .. then add them cause they said Sin(X) + Sin (Y) which gives 2SinACosB .. then im stuck >_<

oh i got it ! .. X+Y / 2 .. is A .. check it from the equation .. and X-Y/2 is B ! .. so just replace and here you go!

Cause X = A+B .. and Y= A-B .. so X + Y = 2A .. but we want it A so divide by 2.. same for X-Y :D

and part b) the zero is the thita its a typing error

for the a) part where do they get the cos from ??? :S
and part b) the zero is the thita its a typing error
okay ill slowly explain part a) .. They said X=A+B .. and Y=A-B .. and then they said sin(X) + sin(Y) = ignore this part now..
sin(X) = sin(A+B) substitution.
sin(Y) = sin(A- B) substitution.
Now lets work with the expansion of sin(A+B) = sinAcosB +sinBcosA
and sin(A-B)= sinAcosB -sinBcosA..
okay now lets get back to the formula..
sin(X) + sin(Y) = sin(A+B) + sin(A-B) = sum of expansions= sinAcosB + sinBcosA + sinAcosB -sinBcosA = sinAcosB + sinAcosB=2sinAcosB..
okay all good till now?
Title: Re: C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: MasterMath on June 08, 2010, 07:49:05 am
We got 2sinAcosB but they wrote its equal to 2sin(X+Y/2)cos(X-Y/2)
So A must be equal to X+Y/2 .. and B must be equal to X-Y/2 .. to verify this lets try adding X and Y and dividing by 2 ..we should get A ..
X= A+B Y = A-B .. X+Y =A+B+A-B=2A .. then divide by 2 .. = A!!!
So our equation is correct .. so we can simply replace A by X+Y/2 and B by X-Y/2 .. so we reached the final equation they wanted!
Got it?

ok i got the expansion and all the other things but one tiny thing :
"Now lets work with the expansion of sin(A+B) = sinAcosB +sinBcosA"
shouldnt the expansion be sinA + SinB
where does the cos come from??? or is there some kind of rule?

Yes there is a rule for sin(X+Y)= sinXcosY +sinYcosX for any values of X and Y.. and also sin(X-Y)=sinXcosY -sinYcosX ... you got to memorize those .. and here are some more
cos(X+Y)=cosXcosY -sinXsinY cos(X-Y)= cosXcosY +sinXsinY
tan(X+Y)=(tanX+ tanY)/1-tanXtanY  tan(X-Y)=(tanX-tanY)/1+tanXtanY
and more more..
Sin2x= 2sinxcosx
Cos2x= Cos2x-sin2x which is also equal to = 1-2sin2x = 2cos2x-1
and tan2x= 2tanx/1-tan2x

I am showing you with an example:
Suppose the question asked to solve the equation 6-10x-4x^2=0
Since before solving we move the values to the normal way like putting 4x^2 in the beginning,so multiply -1 on both side of the '= 'sign i.e (6-10x-4x^2)*-1=0*-1
so the equation become 4x^2+10x-6=0
Not 4x^2 + 10x + 6

b) Given that the side BC has gradient 5/3, find the coordinates of B and hence of D.

I don't get part b) at all

You got it almost right........except for the part BO.

Anyway let me get this clear for you :

You did obtain equation of line BC ----> 3y = 5x - 13
Now solve simultaneously with x + y = 1 since line BC meets line BD at B.

I'll do it using the substitution method :

From equation 2 --> y = 1 - x
Replace in equation 1 :
3(1 - x) = 5x - 13
3 - 3x = 5x - 13
-8x = -16
x = 2

When x = 2 ----> y = 1 - (2) = -1

Hence coordinates of B (2, -1)

The midpoint of BD = midpoint of AC = (1,0). You calculated it in the first part when finding equation of diagonal BD.

Let coordinates of D be (x,y)
Hence (1,0) = ( (x+2)/2 , (y+-1)/2 )

Therefore (x+2)/2 = 1 ----> x = 0 and (y-1)/2 = 0 ----> y = 1
Coordinates of D (0,1)

Hope it helps :)

I'm finding these really hard, please could someone attempt these, many thanks!  Especially explaining why real values of x you state apply.

Q1) The equation of a curve is y=ax^2 - 2bx + c, where a, b and c are constants with a > 0.
a) Find, in terms of a, b and c, the coordinates of the vertex of the curve.
b) Given that the vertex of the curve lies on the line y=x, find an expression for c in terms of a and b.  Show that in this case, whatever the value of b, c >= -1/4a (>= means greater than or equal to).

For this question, I found answers to part a), but am stuck on b).  I know part a) answer is in co-ordinates (b/a , c-(b^2/a)).  I also know some of part b), c is [b(b+1)/a], so I basically don't get why the show that thing is that.

Q2) a) Express 9x^2 +12x + 7 in the form (ax + b)^2 + c where a, b and c are constants whose values are to be found.
b) Find the set of values taken by: 1/(9x^2 +12x + 7)  for real values of x.

For this question, I could get a) with a = 3, b=2, c=3.  But have no idea what "real values of x" mean and please provide reasons why.

Q3) a) Express 9x^2 - 36x + 52 in the form (Ax-B)^2 + C, where A, B and C are integers. Hence, or otherwise, find the set of values taken by 9x^2 - 36x + 52 for real x.  Again I don't know what "real x" means, nor how to work out the answer.

Many thanks in advance, this is too tricky for me ;(

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK THIS EXPLANATION !

Real numbers are any positive or negative numbers which might be whole numbers or numbers like pi or e.

Now you should notice that \frac{1}{(3x+2)^2+3} is the equation of some asymptote. Hence, the value it should be tending to some value, but will never reach it.

Inputing a very large positive or negative number into x we see that it tends towards zero on both cases.

But, I then differentiate the equation to find the maximum points (which is when x = -2/3)

Hence, 0<y\ll\frac{1}{3}

OK, thanks for your response.  Your answer/range is right, however I didn't understand why from your last sentence.  Is it because 1/0 doesn't exist, but why 1/3?  What's the general 'rule'?

Also, hardest question is Q1), any ideas, I've thought about it for a long time now.  :(

Thanks for your help so far!

Sorry for late reply guys  :(

Yeah....Ari is right there :)

Hmm.........from part(i) of the question, you can find the turning point to be (-2/3 , 3)
So you should replace the value of x in the equation to get the range of value of y. Since (3x + 2)2 is a perfect square......y will in no way be less than zero.

Thanks for your help guys, this question is still bothering me though.  Whoever can solve this is a genius!  I can't believe this question was from C1.

The equation of a curve is y = ax^2 - 2bx + c, where a, b and c are constants with a > 0.

a) Find, in terms of a, b and c, the coordinates of the vertex of the curve.

b) Given that the vertex of the curve lies on the line y = x, find an expression for c in terms of a and b. Show that in this case, whatever the value of b, c \geq - \frac{1}{4a}.

I've partially answered the question (I've done parts a) and a bit of b), but don't know how to show that the statement in b) is correct).

Here are my answers so far:

a) (\frac{b}{a} , c-\frac{b^2}{a})

b) c = \frac{b(b+1)}{a}, but I don't know how to 'show that...'.

Many many thanks in advance!

Since it is some form of an asymptote the Y value will go closer and closer to zero but NEVER reach zero.

Remember I found the max point to be -2/3 ? That was the x coordinate.

Inputting -2/3 into the original equation gives a Y VALUE of 1/3

Since this is the max point the curve's maximum value that it can attain is 1/3

Solve the simultaneous equations:
2x + 2y = 7
x2 - 4y2 = 8

First eq rearranged.
x= (7-2y)/2
Substitute the x in the second eq.
[(7-2y)2]/22 - 4y2 = 8
(49-28y+4y2)/4 -4y2= 8
49 - 28y + 4y2 -16y2 = 32
Now just solve like a normal quadratic.
Did this in a hurry, will check up the answer and get back to you in a few (:

First eq rearranged.
x= (7-2y)/2
Substitute the x in the second eq.
[(7-2y)2]/22 - 4y2 = 8
(49-28y+4y2)/4 -4y2= 8
49 - 28y + 4y2 -16y2 = 32
Now just solve like a normal quadratic.
Did this in a hurry, will check up the answer and get back to you in a few (:
Okay so you get the eq
12y2 + 28y -17 = 0
Solve it
y = 0.5 or y = 2.83
Substitute values into the first eq and get x values.

Makes sense or you have any questions? (:

Yo tell me if this solution is okay



(i) y = ax^2 - 2bx + c, we differentiate to get:
dy/dx = 2ax - 2b.

We know dy/dx=0 at the vertex, we get the coordinates you asked for
(ii) Now given that the vertex is on y=x, this tells as that:
b/a = c - (b^2/a) => c= (b(b+1))/a

This equation relates 'c' with 'a' and 'b'.. Also the factor of 4 and => sign might make you think of a discriminant, why?

The equation for 'c' is in fact a quadratic in 'b':
b^2 + b - ac = 0.

 We require D => 0 for real roots to exist, and since we are dealing with a real cartesian system this has to be the only case, therefore:

(1)^2 - 4*(1)*(-ac) >= 0 => 1 + 4ac >=0
and so we get c >= -1/(4a), since we know a>0/

Perfect answer, and your method would make sense in context with the question.  This question came out of a chapter in the textbook dealing with quadratics - more specifically completing the square and about discriminant b^2-4ac.  So this question ties the two into one quite nicely!

OK....i'll elaborate.

I'll simplify the numbers first.

(,/3)-3 + (,/3)-2 + (,/3)-1 + (,/3)0 + (,/3)1 + (,/3)2 + (,/3)3

Now we can simplify : Anything to the power of zero is 1 and a square root to the power of 2 results in the number being squared

(,/3)-3 + 3-1 + (,/3) + 1 + (,/3) + 3 + (,/3)3

Now we add the numbers only.
1 + 3 + 1/3 + (,/3)-3 + (,/3)-1 + (,/3)1 + (,/3)3

Anything to the power of negative factor can be written as 1 over the value

Example : x-1 ----> 1/x

Hence => 13/3 + 1/(,/3)3 + 1/(,/3) + (,/3) + (,/3)3

Now you need to rationalise, that is multiply by (,/3)/(,/3) so that you obtained all the roots in the numerator. Moreover (,/3)2 = 3 ---> (,/3)3 = 3(,/3)

13/3 + (,/3)/9 + (,/3)/3 + (,/3) + 3(,/3)

Now forget about the (,/3) and add its coefficients to get the required solution ;)

13/3 + 40(,/3)/9

Hope it helps :)

I guess you forgot 1/9. ;)

To the extent I had reached in my explanation, you just needed to add 1/9 + 1/3 + 1 + 3 = 40/9

These are all coefficients of (,/3), so it's similar to adding x/9 + x/3 + x + 3x = 40x/9

You just need to replace x by (,/3) to obtain 40(,/3)/9 :D

Another doubt here, I think this is harder than C1, because it is apparantly an extension question from a C1 textbook.  Anyway, here's the question:

Let p(x) = x^2 - 6x - 3 and q(x) = x^2 - 2x + 4.

The polynomial p(x) + aq(x), where a is a constant, is a perfect square.

Calculate the two possible values of a.

Very hard for me, here's my working so far.  My answer's wrong though.

I found the polynomial to be: a+1(x - \frac{a-3}{a+1})^2 - \frac{a^2-6a+9}{a+1} + 4a - 3.

Then I said that because it's a perfect square: - \frac{a^2-6a+9}{a+1} + 4a - 3 = 0, and then got the quadratic: 3a^2 + 7a - 12 = 0.  This gives imaginary solutions, but there are 2 real solutions for a.

Many thanks in advance!

Your mistake is that it should be (a+3)/(1+a) instead of (a-3)/(1+a) as x + (-a-3)/(1+a) = x - (a+3)/(1+a). I tried many ways to solve but I don't seem to get the 2nd value for a. The first value should be a = 3?

Thanks for your hint there Tyserius!  I've solved it now:

The polynomial is: a+1(x - \frac{a+3}{a+1})^2 - \frac{(a+3)^2}{a+1} + 4a - 3

Therefore, -\frac{(a^2+6a+9)}{a+1} + 4a - 3 = 0

So quadratic: 3a^2 - 5a - 12 = 0

Giving solutions of a: 3, -\frac{4}{3}

Find the set of real values of k such that the equation x(x-1)^2 = k^2 has exactly one real root.

For the 1st part, I got the stationary points as: (\frac{1}{3},\frac{4}{27}) is a maximum, (1,0) is a minimum.  I know these are right, but I'm not sure how to solve the 2nd part.

& one more question please:

In the specimen paper, [it has no particular date info, so I'll type the question here]:

The curve C has equation y=f(x) and the point P (3,5) lies on C.
Given that f'(x) = 3x2-8x+6

(a) Find f(x)
The answer is f(x)=x3-4x2+6x-4

(b) Not needed now

The point Q also lies on C, and the tangent to C at Q is parallel to the tangent to C at P.
(c) Find the x-coordinate of Q.

I found the gradient to be 9 [using the formula for f'(x)]
& it's correct according to the marking scheme.

And then I equated the formula:
3x2-8x+6=9

I got 2 solutions: x=3, x=-1/3

Which one would be the correct one? The MS says it's -1/3 but I don't understand why!

Post by: Freaked12 on December 08, 2010, 09:02:05 pm
Dude why did you use b^2-4ac=0??
you have to use b^2-4ac<0
b^2 - 4ac is less than zero, then there are no solutions. This means that there are no values of x giving a value of y of zero, hence the graph of the curve will not cross the x-axis.
b^2 - 4ac = 0 then there are two equal values for x (that is, the
line of the graph touches the x-axis once)


your result would match the mark scheme if you had used the correct formula.

Hope this helps

I was just saying by equating b^2-4ac to zero, you are showing that the equation has one solution but the question is saying find all the values of k where where roots are not real so this is wrong.

you have to write b^2-4ac<0 to show there are no real roots of K.

I was just saying by equating b^2-4ac to zero, you are showing that the equation has one solution but the question is saying find all the values of k where where roots are not real so this is wrong.

you have to write b^2-4ac<0 to show there are no real roots of K.

This will ultimately answer your questioin

Ohhh...yes, yes, yes!

Thank you for the clarification!

heyy guys i have a doubt, its from the c1 textbook, chapter 2, mixed exercise 2G, Q.5

Given that for all values of x: 3x2+12x+5=p(x+q)2 +r

a)find the values of p,q and r
b)solve the equation 3x2+12x+5=0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a)i got this one!
b)i tried using the quadratic formula to solve it and i got -2+(1/3)(surd 21) however the answer is -2+(surd7/surd3). The answer was obtained by completing the square. When i solved both the answers using a calculator the answers were the same.
This question is from a past paper but i dont know which one, and i need to know if my answer is acceptable as the textbook doesnt mention it, so can anyone tell me which past paper this question if from??
thanxx!

I did it by Completing the Square . you can do it by Quadratic formula or completing the Square ,both are correct ;)

x2+ 4x + 5/3
x2 + 4x + (2)2 - (2)2 + 5/3 =0
[x+2]2- 4 + 5/3
[x+2]2= 7/3
x+2 = positive negative surd 7/3
x= -2 positive or negative surd 7/3

Therefore ;

x = -2+ surd 7/3           OR        x= -2-surd 7/3

Let me know if you don't get it :)

well i know how to do it by completing the square but what i meant was:
quadratic formula answer : -2+(1/3)(surd21)= -0.472
square completion answer: -2+(surd7/surd3)= -0.472

they want us to express the answer in surd form, so my answer is the quadratic formula one and the one they mentioned in the textbook was the square completion one. Even though they both give the same answer i.e. -0.472, i wanted to know if my answer in surd form is acceptable by the examiners so i wanted to know which paper this q is from??

therefore ; 7surd5  ---->  this is what I can NOT seem to get I got the surd245 but I can't get this one  :-\

Hmm in Q 7 , I don't get how to get X2008 ?! .....

I'll use the word root instead of surd just because I'm used to it. :P
245 = 49 x 5 right?
so root 245 = root 49 x root 5
= 7 x root 5
Understand?

Just checked your second question

c) solve 2p^2 + 3p + 1 =1
to get p = 0 (not possible) and p = -3/2
Let me know if I need to elaborate.

d) This one was tricky and I remember being confused by it.
You're meant to substitute your value of p in x2, x3, x4 etc.
Then you'll notice that
x1, x2, x3, x4 = 1, -1/2, 1, -1/2
See the pattern?
So for x2008 (a positve postion) the value will be -1/2

You draw the graph just like you would draw y=1/x but farther from the asymptotes.

So your answer should be like the red line in the figure below:

Writing it out in completing the square form : (x+2)^2 +10 is the equation of parabola.

At the point where it crosses the y axis x=0

Inputting x=o into above equation gives 14

(0,14) = answer.

the Points P and Q lie on C and have X-coordinates -3 and 1 respectively

a] find an equation of the chord PQ

b] show that the tangents to Z at the points P and Q are Parallel
for a) find coords of p by substituting x=-3 in the equation
y=-24+9-3
y=-18
P(-3,-18)

for q, put x=1 in the eqtn.
y=8+1+9
y=18
Q(1,18)

To find eq of PQ, find grad
m = -36/-4
=9
Eq PQ => (y-18)/(x-1)=9
Solve

b) Find dy/dx
8+2x-9x^-2
to find grad at P, put in x=-3
to find grad at Q put in x=1
You should get the same answer for both. Gradients are same therefore, parallel.

I'm in school right now, but I'll try and get back to you with the rest later. (:

Okay a and b you understand now. c and d you alredy knew. Leaves us with e.

E] explain why angle PQR is a right triangle and find the area of triangle PQR.

Eq of PQ was y=9x+9 therefore grad = 9
Calculate grad of QR => you get -1
Calculate grad of PR => you get 1
Since the product of gradients of QR and PR is -1 it proves they are perpendicular to each other. Therefore PQR is a right-angled triangle.

Question No.8 on page 148

a=400
d= x or 30

a) U10= a + (n-1)d
=400+9(30)
=670

b)S10= n/2 [2a + (n-1)d]
10/2 [2 x 400 + 9 x 30]
=5350

c)Equate S10 formula to 6000
10/2 [800 +9x] = 6000
800+9x=1200
x=44.4
Obviously he can't produce 44.4 cars every year so to reach the target, the minimum he must produce is 45.

one se can , you tell me how to find the AREA for PQR ?

Find length of PR and then the length of QR.
^use formula square root of [(x1-x2)2+ (y1-y2)2)
then use area = 1/2 x b x h

Or you can use the other method that involves listing coordinates and the criss cross lines (I don't know how to explain it by typing :P)

clear ;D

In the sequence of numbers between 50 and 150 the first number divisible by 8 is 56 and the last number is 144.

Forming an arithmetic progression formula :

56 +(n-1)8 = 144       We are trying to determine how many numbers in between 56 and 144 inclusive are divisible by 8

n = 12   Thus, there are 12 numbers in between 50 and 150 that are divisible by 8

12/2 (2*56 + 11*8 ) = 1200

-
(c) Find the values of the constant c for which the straight line y = c - 3x is a
tangent to the curve y = 3/ x

I can't think of a way to solve a nor c  :L

Part a) is like y=f(x) --> y=3f(x) therefore it's a vertical stretch of scale factor 3.

Part c) find dy/dx of both the equations and then equate them since gradients must be equal for it to be a tangent.
1)dy/dx=-3
2)y=3x-1
dy/dx=-3x-2
Therefore 3x-2 = 3
x=0
Nevermind, I seem to be doing the wrong thing :|

Wait x is not zero it's -1 & + 1
Whoops :P
okay so you get x
put it in the second equation
you get y= + or - 3
Now put that in the first equation
c-3(1) =3
c=6
or
c-3(-1)=-3
c=-6

Hope it's the rigth answer. (:

a)To find y, integrate f'(x)
To find c use (0,0) since the curve passes though origin
? c = 0
y = 6x ? 2x^2 ? x^3

b) Find the roots of the eq or set y=0
x(6 ? 2x ? x2) = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve for x coord at A and B
A (?1 ? root7 , 0), B (?1 + root7 , 0)
to find AB the length, just subtract.
? AB = (?1 + root7 ) ? (?1 ? root7 ) = 2root7

y = 6x ? 2x^2 ? x^3

b) Find the roots of the eq or set y=0
x(6 ? 2x ? x2) = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve for x coord at A and B
A (?1 ? root7 , 0), B (?1 + root7 , 0)
to find AB the length, just subtract.
? AB = (?1 + root7 ) ? (?1 ? root7 ) = 2root7

Question 6 A

Draw the triangle as shown with 5 and 12 representing sides of the triangle as per the tan ratio given.

Use opposite/hypotenuse to find the sine and adjacent/hypotenuse to find the cosine ratios in fractions.

As all are acute then all of the above angles are in the FIRST QUADRANT and hence ALL ARE POSITIVE.

Post by: elemis on February 11, 2011, 02:07:06 pm
x=sin\theta <br /><br />y=2cos\theta

Using sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1

We first divide the second equation by two to remove the 2 from  2cos\theta

Hence, \frac{y}{2}=cos\theta

Next, we square equation 1 and equation 2 to get :

x^2=sin^2\theta<br /><br />\frac{y^2}{4}=cos^2\theta

Adding the two gives :

x^2 + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1

where X=A+B and Y=A-B.

(b)HEnce or otherwise, solve for 0<=theta<360
sin40 + sin20 =0

iv done the (a) part....buh gettin confused for (b).. =\


Q2. 2sin2(theta) -2sin(theta)=cos2(theta)    in the range -180<=theta<180.

have done this too and got +-160.5, +-19.5 and +-90...
buh few of them are wrong when i apply it to the equation....please can someone do the whole of this question and tell me? :S

Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on February 18, 2011, 01:39:05 pm
a)sin (A+B)=sinA cos B+cos A sin B
sin (A-B)=sinA cos B-cos A sin B
Add these two equations and put X=A+B, Y=A-B
b)Put A=3 theta B=theta to get
sin 4 theta +sin 2 theta =2 sin3theta cos theta=0
sin sin 3theta =0 or cos theta =0
3theta =0,180,360,540, 720,900,1080 or theta =0,180,360
so theta =0,60,120,180,240,300,360

2. 2sin^2 x -2 sin =cos^2 x =1-sin^2 x so 3sin^2 x -2sin x -1=0 so (3sin x+1)(sinx -1)=
3sinx+1 =0 so x =-sin^-1 (1/3)=-19.5, 180--19.5=199.5, -180+19.5=-160.5,360+-19.5=340.5
or sinx=1 so x=90

Plug in values for x, start methodically from zero until you get a number. In this case I got x=1 as a solution.

Hence, (x-1) is a solution.

Perform algebraic division of the original equation with (x-1) and find the resultant quadratic equation.

Factorise the quadratic.

State the solutions.

1) Your equation can be re-written as : (2x)2*2 = 3(2x)-1

Let y = 2x

Hence, 2y2 -3y +1=0

Solve this quadratic. You will find the value of 2x. Use logs to find the value of x.

Q2)Given that p=logq16, express in terms of p;
       logq(8q)

2)  logq(8q)

By the law of logs :

log_q8^{\frac{4}{3}} + log_qq

log_qq = 1 and using the power rule :

\frac{4}{3}log_q16 + 1

Hence,

4/3 p +1

Find the sum of all the integers between 1 and 1000 which are divisible by 7.
help plz..=/

And 7th question, part (d) of the attached worksheet...how to do??!

Sum of integers from  1 to 1000 divisible by 7, right?
We know that the 7 times table is 7, 14, 21 etc.
So consider the sequence
7 + 14 + 21 + ...

Now we need to know how many terms are divisible by 7 in 1000 integers, so simply divide 1000 by 7 using long division. You get 142.8, so basically only 142 terms in 1000 are divisible by 7.

Find the sum of those 142 terms!
a=7, d=7, n=142
Sn =  142/2 (2(7) + (142-1) (7))
Sn = 71,071.

If u dont understand any thing in it then i can surely help :)

for part a since x-20 was in a bracket i found the angles and then at the end subtract the 20, i dont know if there is any other way to solve it but i do it this way

same idea is for part b
In part b u times the range by 3 as the angle given is 3x, always do that when the angle is a multiple like 2x or 3x or whatever and at the end MAKE SURE to divide all your found angles by 3 to find x ('cause you found angle for 3x before)

Q10 part c

Thx

Ah yes, I appeared in this exam and I remember feeling particularly frustrated in this Q, even though it's quite easy now that I think about it. All you have to do is actually draw the circle. You already know that the line passes through the midpoint of the radius and you know that it' parallel to the tangent i.e it'd perpendicular to the radius. Using Pythagorean theorem, (take half the radius as perpendicular and the radius as the hypotenuse) you can now easily find the length of the line.

Hope that helps

3/x = x+8/3
x^2+8x = 9
x^2+8x-9=0
x^2-x+9x-9=0
x(x-1)+9(x-1)=0
x = -9, x = 1


common ratio = when x =1 -> 3 ; when x = -9 -> -1/3

sum to infinity existsif |r| < 1
that means r = -1/3

fifth term = ar^4 = 3
a = 3/(-1/3)^4 = 243

sum to infinity = a/1-r = 182.25

What you have said is partially corret according to the text book.. I got the same working as yours but the text book says: when X=1 r=1/3 and when X= -9 r= -3

your first term is correct.. 243..

I dont think so u need to know how to prove them, only how to apply them..and about the angles, if ur talking about the ratio/triangle thingi, i guess same is for that, just how to use it.

Review Exercise 1, Q21:

f(x)=x3+ax+b, where a and b are constants.

When f(x) is divided by (x?4) the remainder is 32.

When f(x) is divided by (x+2) the remainder is ?10.

(a) Find the value of a and the value of b.

(b) Show that (x?2) is a factor of f(x).

In the CD, it shows for part (a)
f(-2) = (-2)3 + (-2)a + b = 32 as well, isn't that wrong?

That's because I just copy pasted the question, I'm sorry, the ? stands for - [minus sign]

My question is, you need to form 2 equations, right? Speaking about part a)

The first one is 4a+b=-32
The second one, according to me should be b-2a=-2, but the CD says it's b-2a=40, because they took f(-2) to be equal to 32 instead of -10, isn't that wrong?

The second one, according to me should be b-2a=-2, but the CD says it's b-2a=40, because they took f(-2) to be equal to 32 instead of -10, isn't that wrong?

Since it's mentioned in the Question that it's -10 then it surely is wrong.

I got it, you first expand the term and then you see where you can cancel the x terms and then you just get the value.

How do u solve trig eq. in radians

For example tan(theta + pie/3) =1 in range 0< theta < 2pie

Tyvm

Tan(theta+pie/3)=1               

Get the new range, pie/3< theta+pie/3< 2pie+pie/3

Theta +pie = Tan-1(1)

Since tan-1is positive, you get the values in the first and third quadrants.

theta+pie/3= 0.78, (Pie+0.78), (2pie+0.78)

Theta + pie/3 is not equal to 0.78 because of the new range we got, Pie/3<theta +pie/3 < 2pie+pie/3

Therefore,

Theta + pie/3 = 3.93, 7.06

Theta = 2.88, 6.01

Remember to change your calculator mode to Radians
Hope you got it :)

For C1 just leave it in the simplified surd form (e.g. Root 2), usually the Q. states that give answer in exact form which means you have to give it in surd form. You definitely don't have to remember the decimal answer.
If for example its Sq. root 12, you can simplify further to give 2sq. root3

If you have the CD , Open it and there is a solution Bank "Capital letter S" press on it and you'll get to know the answer ;)

But I already did that :P so Here is the Answer from the Cd's Solution Bank :


(a) a=1, b=-k, c=k+3
b2-4ac<0 for no real roots, so
k2-4(k+3)<0
k2-4k?12<0
(k-6)(k+2)<0
-2<k<6

(b) a=p, b=p, c=-2
b2-4ac<0 for no real roots, so
p2+8p<0
p(p+8)<0
-8<p<0


I hope I helped =D

oh no unfortunately i donot have the Cd
 but the thing which I donot undersatnd why did you use b2-4ac<0   ???
actually I used b2>4ac as the question asks for real roots that's my point and if u can plz explain thanks anyway

I suggest you borrow it from someone , I found it very beneficial =] Or Perhaps check the Solution Bank that Ang3l posted ;)

Delta is  b2 - 4ac

There is NO such thing as B2 > 4ac

if they say REAL roots it means greater than or Equal/Greater than.

if they say NO root then it is less than

then you solve it the way it was written in the solution bank =]

I hope you got my point =]

There seems to be a misunderstanding here.

To be honest I never referred to the book if I misunderstood something since I ended up getting even more confused ,I always asked my private tutor or my teacher. So I'll take a Pic of the notes that talk about this and hopefully it'll clear your doubt =]

It is Arab not Arabian ;)

I don't really get what You're saying.

You told me earlier that you wanted to solve exc 3E  Q 4a and 4b by  b2 > 4ac

and I told you that that concept is wrong or in other words is not used to solve such Questions  as the Questions in  exc 3 E and 3 F .

so as I told you ,if you see the Words "Real Roots" you use greater than or Equal/ greater than

Here is the way it is solved in the Solution Bank ;)

Quote
a=k, b=8, c=5
x={ - b plus or minus (square root ?b2?4ac) }/2a

b2-4ac greater than or equal  0 for real roots. So
82-4k * 5 greater than or equal 0
64-20k greater than or equal 0
64 less than or equal 20k
64 /20 less than or equal k
k less than or equal  3.2


I used less than or equal and greater than or equal since I wasn't able to find the  Symbols =,=

I hope you got it =]

Thanks in advance

Yes you just equate the Equations and get the Intersection Points between the TWO graphs in case there are TWO graphs to draw ;)

But if it's just ONE graph then you have to solve as follow:

Firstly, you solve the equation as though that the X = 0  ,in other words you're finding the point of intersection of the graph with the y-axis.

Secondly, You solve the equation as though the Y = 0 , in other words you're finding the point of intersection of the graph with the x-axis.

I hope I cleared your doubt :)

In the Question it stated the words "Real root" , and when you see that then you should know that you should undoubtedly use " > or greater than or equal" .

well okay the notes say the same thing I say too
in both questions which you had solved before the question said real roots which should be greater than or equal but you used less than or equal
that's my point dear  ;)

At first I used Greater than or Equal but then I used less than an equal.

Clarification :

Quote
a=k, b=8, c=5
x={ - b plus or minus (square root ?b2?4ac) }/2a

b2-4ac greater than or equal  0 for real roots. So
82-4k * 5 greater than or equal 0
64-20k greater than or equal 0
64 less than or equal 20k
64 /20 less than or equal k
k less than or equal  3.2

The on in RED and BOLD. Why I changed it into less than becase if you noticed we moved the 20 K to the RIGHT side of the inequality and you should know whenever you MOVE the unkown *one with X or K example : 20 K* you CHANGE the Sign ;)

I hope you got my point ;)

what I know is that when we just divide or multioly an inquality we change signs only
anyways thanks
but what about the first two questions in my first post Q 3 E [4 a and b] they mentioned real roots but you used less than or equal to get the answer right ???
by the way I know your method is right ofcourse because you git the right answer but  i am just confused sorry of the conflict between the two examples 3E-4a and 3 F-9

You seem to be REALLY confused. Habeebti ,I'll explain everything inshAllah ;) ....It's Alright I'm free for now so I am not tired =]

Okay I'm going to Quote what I said and Color it in RED so that you see that there is no need to get confused AT ALL ;)


(a) a=1, b=-k, c=k+3
b2-4ac<0 for no real roots, so
k2-4(k+3)<0
k2-4k?12<0
(k-6)(k+2)<0
-2<k<6

(b) a=p, b=p, c=-2
b2-4ac<0 for no real roots, so
p2+8p<0
p(p+8)<0
-8<p<0

This is NO real roots which is why it is <   ;)

Quote
a=k, b=8, c=5
x={ - b plus or minus (square root ?b2?4ac) }/2a

b2-4ac greater than or equal  0 for real roots. So
82-4k * 5 greater than or equal 0
64-20k greater than or equal 0
64 less than or equal 20k
64 /20 less than or equal k
k less than or equal  3.2


This is Real roots which is why it is greater than or equal   ;)

well if anyone have C2 and  you can help then here is my question page 66 exercise 4D question 3 :
my problem is that i  donot know how to ge the r2  however Iwas able to get the centre point right I found in the back of the book answers but I was totally confused and don't know the exact method

ahhhh.....By the way you don't need to do  the whole  exercise  just one example would be fine

Thanks in advance  :D

Okay sorry for the previous reply ::)

Here is what you do.

When a quadratic equation is given use completing the square to find the center and radius and then find the equation of circle.

See this for the best explanation :P

well thanks for the link I'll check it
 but now you made me curious   ;D about ur previous reply as I didn't see it ......I'm going to accept it as long as u are helping me thank you very much  :) hope Allah help you with anything you want  :)
Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: ~ Miss Relina ~ on September 19, 2011, 11:54:30 am
well after checking the link I found it too useful but the problem is why this rule apply to the book equations I 'll show you one :
x2 + y2 + 4x + 9y +3 = 0
my answer is :
(x+2)2-4 + (y + 4.5 )2 -20.25 +3 = 0 then adding the numbers will give -13.25 so the equation will be :
(x+2)2 + (y+ 4.5 )2 = 13.25
so centre point should be ( -2 ,-4.5 ) and radius=  square root 13.25  

right ?????
  why the book did it like that :
(x+2)2 + (y + 3 )2 -10= 0

(x+2)2 + (y + 3 )2 = 10
so centre point is ( -2,-3) and radius=square root10




well.............the answer to the question shouldn't be like that unless there is a mistake and instead of 9y it should  be 6y

plz guys try it and tell me as I found all the other examples like that  >:( >:( >:(

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 .

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
Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 01, 2011, 02:41:56 pm
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

Post by: MKh on October 05, 2011, 03:16:23 pm
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.

LOG (base 2 )X + LOG(base 4) X = 2

given that p = log( base q) 16 , express in terms of p

log ( base q) 8Q

this is in C2 , PAGE 48 , 3 , B
Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 05, 2011, 10:56:06 pm
LOG (base 2 )X + LOG(base 4) X = 2

you have to change the base from 4 to 2
use log_a x = (log_b x)/(log_b a) so log_4 x = (log_2 x)/(log_2 4)=(log_2 x)/2
then log_2 x +1/2 log?2 x =2
3/2 log_2 x = 2 so log_2 x =4/3 so x =2^(4/3)

2nd question
log_q 8q = log_q 8 +log_q q = log_q 2^3 + 1 = log_q (16^(1/4))^3 + 1 = log_q 16^(3/4) +1 = 3/3 log_q 16 +1 =3/4 p +1

use log_a x = (log_b x)/(log_b a) so log_4 x = (log_2 x)/(log_2 4)=(log_2 x)/2
then log_2 x +1/2 log?2 x =2
3/2 log_2 x = 2 so log_2 x =4/3 so x =2^(4/3)

2nd question
log_q 8q = log_q 8 +log_q q = log_q 2^3 + 1 = log_q (16^(1/4))^3 + 1 = log_q 16^(3/4) +1 = 3/3 log_q 16 +1 =3/4 p +1

Next time you post a C2 Question make sure you mention which Exercise and which page it's on plus which number it is ,it'll make it much easier for us to answer you 'those who do have the C2 book'.

HERE you go :D

P = 100 cm
A = A cm2


a) P = 2r + r theta                   => P stand for Perimeter ;)
     100 = 2r + r theta
      r theta = 100 - 2r
      theta = (100/r) - 2

Area = 0.5 * r2 * theta
         = 0.5 * r2 ( (100/r) - 2 )
           = 0.5 (100 r - 2r2)
                        So,   A = 50r - r2


b) i) r = (-b/2a) = (-50/2(-1)) = 25             So , r = 25

A is Maximum Value because a = -1 < 0     => I don't know what my teacher meant by that ' Sorry I can't remember what he said about this thing =,= '


ii)  theta = (100/25) -2 = 4 - 2 = 2 rad   So , theta = 2 rad

iii)

Area = 50(25) - (25)2
       = 1250 - 625

   So , A = 625 cm2

I'll attach An Image so you understand what my teacher did to the drawing so check Attachment =]

4-1/cos x =0 so cos x =1/4 so x =cos^-1 1/4 or 180-cos^-1 1/4

4 sin x = tan x
4 sin x = sin x/cos x
Sin x (4 -1/cos x)=0
Sin x =0 so x =0,180,360
4-1/cos x =0 so cos x =1/4 so x =cos^-1 1/4 or 180-cos^-1 1/4

another question to bother this thread about is here

for who have C2 book its on page 193 Q 6 in the revision exercise 3

what I don't understand is that the book's answer is 4 and when I did integration of the two parts of my  sketch , one area was -ve and other was +ve so I added them ignoring the -ve sign so...............are these steps right or I've just missed somethnig up ??? cause my anwser was ''9.5''

Thanks in advance  ;)

Integration gives you :

x4    
--- - x3
4

[(x4/4) - x3]42

[{((256/4) - 64) - (4)3) - {(16/4) - (2)3}]42

| [(0) - (-4)] | = 4

[{((256/4) - 64) - (4)3) - {(16/4) - (2)3}]42

| [(0) - (-4)] | = 4

Thanks
but have you done a sketch ??? as when I've done a sketch the I found two parts above and under the curve that's why I used two intergration formulas one with upperlimit 4 and lowerlimt 3 (where the curve intersect the x-axis) and other intergration with the upperlimit 3 and lowerlimit 2 but i got it wrong ...........so my sketch may be wrong or what ???

anyways Thanks you very much ;)

Yes, your sketch may be incorrect.

but I think it may be right sorry for disturbing you but I'll write the steps if anything wrong tell me

x3-3x2=0
x2(x-3)=0
thus x = 0 or 3
so it may look like that attached

The graph is part below and part above the x axis.
Integrate between 2 and 3. This will be negative because it is below the x axis, so make it positive.
Integrate between 3 and 4. This will be positive.
Add the two areas to give the answer.

I did so but my answer turned to be wrong  :( :(
and when Arthur did it with integration as a whole of upperlimit 4 and lowerlimit 2 it gave the book answer and that's what I'm confused about

thanks in advanced

I did face such a Question in Chapter 6 C3 ( I think it's the same one)

I asked my teacher where he got the -1 from and this is what he did :

He substituted (theta = 0  {x = 0} ) in the Equation, in other words:

y = tan (theta -45)
y = tan (0 - 45)
y = tan (-45)
y = -1

Which means it has to intersect with y-axis at that point i.e. ( -1 , 0 )

I hope you got it ;)

                           ...................................................................

another question to bother this thread about is here

for who have C2 book its on page 193 Q 6 in the revision exercise 3

what I don't understand is that the book's answer is 4 and when I did integration of the two parts of my  sketch , one area was -ve and other was +ve so I added them ignoring the -ve sign so...............are these steps right or I've just missed somethnig up ??? cause my anwser was ''9.5''

Thanks in advance  ;)

Here is the Answer from the Solution Bank :

Quote
Area = integration sign thingy with base 2 4x3-3x2dx Remember integration sign thingy axndx=(axn+1) /(n+1 )

Anyhoo here it is
 
=[(x4/4) - x3]24  }=> The 4 is supposed to be in the TOP and  2 at the BOTTOM  but it didn't turn out to be perfect so thought of Mentioning it incase any confusion was caused =]
 
=[((4)4 /4 )-(4)3)] -[(2)4/4) -(2)3) ]

=(64-64) - [(16 /4) -8]
=0-(4-8)
=0-(-4)
=4

When u click on the solutionbank it comes out in a new internet explorer window, ryt?

But then there comes a yellow coloured pop-up on top wich says something like 'Internet explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access yur computer' , ryt?

Click (or right-click) on that yellow pop-up thing and select 'Allow blocked content'. Then there comes a box saying something like 'Are you sure you want to let ActiveX scripts run on your computer?'

Then click yes. The solutionbank then appears. Just try doing this and see if it works.

Umm....i dunno why this happens...but try downloading the C1 and C2 ActiveBooks and then select the SolutionBank icon in it which for me then opens up in a new internet explorer window. Try downloading the Activebooks instead of the SolutionBanks - hop u get it.

If this doesn't work, let me know what doubts u hav in C1 and C2 because i m also sitting for the two modules in jan and i will try my best to help u out. This will help my understandng and urz as well.

Like Sir astarmathsandphysics said, all ActiveBooks r free on freetextbooks.com, downalod them from there. And no, the Activebooks r not different from the textbooks - they r just to make revision easier.

Ohh mention not, do let me know what other doubts u hav soon. Solving now....will let u know later today. Meanwhile, here is the hint for this question from the C1 SolutionBank:

Hint:
Write out the first three or four terms of the calculation to help you work out what is happening.

Thanks for making this test centre. It sounds really interesting.
But what exactly is it like? We can take tests there?
And by when will u be able to add the A/L tests?

Thanks once again.

so you mean that it wouldn't be the right graph ???

you mean it won't be cos 2x
Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on December 24, 2011, 08:48:51 pm
it is the graph of cos 2x
If you relable the x axis so all the x's are doubled, it becomes the graph of cos x

Note = [2] means to the power of 2

Q) The equation of the curve is y = 3cos2x. The equation of a line is x+2y=? (pi) . On the same Diagram, sketch the curve and the line for 0<x<? .
Find the first 3 terms in the expansion of (2-x)[2] in ascending power of x.
I did the graph but didnt know how to do the line! :S

Q)2cos? = 1/tan?          0<?<2?
I did upto cos?(2sin?-1)=0
so cos?=0  so 0
and 2sin?-1=0 so pi?/6 and pi5?/6
so now I have 3 answers which are in bold! how did pi?/2 and 3pi?/2 come??

Q)sinx=3/5 and angle is obtuse. Find tanx and cosx

Q) sin[2]theta/1-costheta = 1 + costheta  Identities! Sorry if I copied it wrong! next time I will use attachments! to make it easier!

thanks alot i really benefited from the 1st answers! :D

Hello fellow SF mates and sir Paul

Please find attached a part of my Edexcel C2 Revision Checklist from the Trigonometry chapter. I am still a bit uncomfortable about these parts of the C2 spec. so if u guyz could please help me by explaining what you know about these parts, it would be very helpful of u.

Exams r almost upon us so please help. C2 exam is on the 13th of jan. Good Luck to all and thanks a lot.

Title: Re: Edexcel C2 trigonometry help needed
Post by: Malak on January 11, 2012, 04:47:15 pm
Do you know how to solve a simple equation?
Assuming that you do, everything is basically the same.

For example 1,
you take the sin inverse of 3/4 and solve for (x + pi/2) as you normally would for x
when you have found the angles using quadrant rule/graph just subtract pi/2 in the end from those angles
thats it.

Simple rule: When you have something with x in bracket, leave it as it is and only in the end subtract/add or whatever.

for example 4 in the file, you have to write all the terms in the same trig. function.
some examples here: http://www.examsolutions.co.uk/maths-revision/core-maths/trigonometry/equations/squared-types/example-1.php (http://www.examsolutions.co.uk/maths-revision/core-maths/trigonometry/equations/squared-types/example-1.php)

if you still have a problem then let me know :D

SZM's pyramid question
Sir astarmathand physics,

I have come across some difficulty to solver the sums under Core Mathematics 2 under Differentiation.

The question is -

1. A square-based pyramid has slanting edges of length 6cm. The volume of such a pyramid is 1/3 xsquare h, where x is the length of the side of the base and h is the height. Show that this volume may be written in the form 24h-2/3h to the power of 3 (24h-2/3hcube). Prove that the greatest volume will occur when h= 2squareroot 3cm.

Please solve this sums in step by steps.. Please include ur working to get the formula and to prove// Pls. DONT JUST GIVE THE ANSWER ONLY///

Pls include ur working along with diagram or what and what variable are u using to make me to understand much better.

Pls do it that urgenlty.

Thanx inadvance.

Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: SZM on February 26, 2012, 05:56:05 pm
Sir astarmathandphysics, thanx for spending ur time to solve my sums/// Sir I have another few more sums, where I found difficult to solve.

The questions are-

1. A rectangular garden is fenced on three sides, and the house forms the fourth side of the rectangle. Given that the total length of the fence is 80m show that the area A, of the garden is given by the formula A= y(80-2y), where y is the distance from the house to the end of the garden. Given that the area is a maximum for this length of fence, find the dimensions of the enclosed garden, and the area which is enclosed.

Sir please do not solve this sums in a rush. If u have to solve this sum in a rush, please make sure that ur working shuld be nealty and clear, I dont like to see the sums,where u r scribbling here and there. Pls do it nealty and clear.

Sir just because the question is asked to show the formula, please i want u to write ur working on how to show this formula. the best thing is if u draw the diagram again and label it and then write in details. Only then I wil be able to understand and also can solve others sums as well. Please even in diagram draw it neatly. If ur work is nealty, I wil get more attracted to it and every working wil grasp into my mind. SO do that Sir please.

Hope this sums u r going to be more clearful , as I am expecting from u.

need ur reply asap. I wil post another few sums more in another post.
Title: Re: C1 and C2 DOUBTS HERE!!!!!
Post by: SZM on February 26, 2012, 06:40:41 pm
the next sums are given below-

1. A closed cylinder has total surface area equals to 600pi. Show that the volume , V cmcube, of this cylinder is given by the formula V= 300pi r- pi rcube, where r cm is the radius of the cylinder. Find the maximum volume of such a cylinder.

2. A sector of a circle has area 100cmsquare. Show that the perimeter of this sector is given by the formula
P=2r + 200/r ,  r> squareroot 100/pi. The radius of the sector is r cm.
Find the minimum value for the perimeter of such a sector.

3. A shape consists of a rectangular base with a semicircular top, as shown. Given that the perimeter of the shape is 40cm, show that its area, A cmsquare, is given by the formula  A= 40r- 2rsquare- pi rsquare/2    where r cm is the radius of the semicircle. Find the maximum value for this area.

4. The shape shown is a wire frame in the form of a large rectangle split by parallel lengths of wire into 12 smaller equal-sized rectangles. Each smaller rectangle, the length is y mm and the width of that smaller rectangle is x mm.  Given that the total length of wire used to complete the whole frame is 1512mm, show that the area of the whole shape is Ammsquare, where A = 1296x - 108xsquare/7.  Find the maximum area which can be closed in this way.

5. The fixed point A has coordinates ( 8, -6, 5) and the variable point P has coordinate ( t, t, 2t).
 a.) Show that APsquare= 6tsquare - 24t - 125.
 b.) hence find the value of t for which the distance AP is least.
 c.) Determine this least distance.

6. A wire is bent into the plane shape ABCDEA. Shape ABDE is a rectangle and BCD is a semicircle with diameter BD.  The area of the region enclosed by the wire is R msquare, AE= x metres, AB= ED= y metres.The total length of the wire is 2 m.
 a.) Find an expression for y in terms of x.
 b.) Prove that R = x/8 (8 - 4x - pix)
Given that x can vary, using calculus and showing your working,
 c.) find the maximum value of R. ( you do not have to prove that the value you obtain is a maximum)

7. A cylindrical biscuit tin has a close-fitting lid which overlaps the tin by 1cm. The radii of the tin and the lid are both x cm. The tin and the lid are made from a thin sheet of metal of area 80pi cmsquare and there is no wastage. The volume of the tin is V cmcube.
 a.) Show that V = pi ( 40x - xsquare - xcube).
Given that x can vary:
 b.) Use differentiation to find the positive value of x for which V is stationary
 c.) Prove that this value of x gives a maximum value of V.
 d.) Find this maximum value of V.
 e.) Determine the percentage of the sheet metal used in the lid when V is a maximum.

8. The part of the curve with equation y= 5- 1/2xsquare for which y> 0. The point P (x,y) lies on the curve and 0 is the origin.
 a.) Show that OPsquare = 1/4xsquare - 4xsquare + 25.
Taking f(x)= 1/4xto the power of 4 - 4xsquare + 25.
 b.) Find the values of x for which dy/dx = 0.
 c.) hence , or otherwise, find the minimum distance from 0 to the curve, showing that your answer is a minimum.

9. The part of the curve with equation y= 3 + 5x + xsquare + xcube. The curve touches the x-axis at C. The points A and B are stationary points on the curve.
 a. ) Show that C has coordinates (3, 0)
 b. ) Using calculus and showing all your working, find the coordinates of A and B.

10. An open tank for storing water, ABCDEF. The sides ABFE and CDEF are rectangles. The triangular ends ADE and BCF are isosceles, and angle at AED is equal to angle at BFC which is 90 degree. The ends ADE and BCF are vertical and EF is horizontal.
 
Given that AD= x metres:
a.) Show that the area of triangle ADE is 1/4xsquare msquare.

Given also that the capacity of the container is 4000 mcube and that the total area of the two triangular and two rectangular sides of the container is S msquare.
b.) Show that S = xsquare/2 + 16000squareroot 2 / x

Given that x can vary:

c.) Use calculus to find the minimum value of S.
d.) Justify that the value of S you have found is a minimum.



There are 10 sums above and sir please each and every sum, I am expecting from u to show ur working nealty and in details and very clearful as well along with neatly diagrams.. Pls Pls Pls Pls.

Sir why these sums are said to be a toughest and difficult part than others?? is there any tips that I have to learn or know ?? do u have any tricky tips which helps to overcome the difficulties of the sums with different situation?? Sir those types of questions,the most difficult part is how to form a formula that they are given. I know there is a diagram// But using the diagram I have to make a formula, but to make a formula with different variables/terms, i found difficult// I dont understand in some formula why they put minus and plus within a formula and how it  becomes minus and plus?????????? Pls i need ur best solution to this matter

i need ur reply asap.

q3 for SZM
For q4 I really need a diagram. In the question it says there is one.

Sir question no. 4), the diagram that u have drawn is little correct. I wil give u an extra information about diagram. The diagram says that there 6 rectangular boxes in a row side from left to the right and there are 2 rectangular boxes in column sides from top to bottom. The variable that u have labelled is correct. I have seen ur diagram under question no 3.) where u have scribbled.

Hope this information wil make u understand.... Pls let me know if u dont understand the information//

Thanx for solving the question no 3.) . May God Bless u.

Question no 9.), I have corrected this question again,

The part of the curve with equation y= 3 + 5x + xsquare - xcube. The curve touches the x-axis at A and crosses the x-axis at C. The points A and B are stationary points on the curve.
 a. ) Show that C has coordinates (3, 0)
 b. ) Using calculus and showing all your working, find the coordinates of A and B.

hope I have replied with what u have asked me for..

Each year, for 30 years, David will pay money into a savings scheme. In the first year he pays 800 pounds. His payments then increase by 60 pounds each year, so that he pays 860, 920 in the third year and so on.
a) Find how much David will pay in the 30th year.
b) Find the total amount that David will pay in over the 30 years.
c) David will retire when his savings reach 65000. Find out how much longer he will have to work.
Can u tell the answer for the last part? it's where i'm stuck. Because of so big numbers, it's difficult to solve the quadratic equation which i'm getting. tried reducing it also.

@xanier:

(a) Common difference = 60
     Therefore, value on 30th year = 60(30) + 740
(b) (n/2)(2a + (n-1)d)
     = (30/2)(2(800) + (29)60)
     = 50100
(c) You just use the equation in (b) and equate it to 6500, and solve for n. You get something like 35.45..so 36...
     Also, if the person does not increase his amount after the 30th year, it will still take 36 years.
     Read the question again, maybe that will help you out.

Got this question from someone. Answer in attachment.

1)
Prove that   sin2x /(1+cos2x) = tanx


2)
Solve the eqn  2sec2X + tanX - 3 = 0             (X stands for theeta and  0<=X<=180)
