    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    hypotenuse AC is itself 16. cos(pi/6)=BC/AC which gives BC = 8*3^(1/2). sin(pi/6)=AB/AC which gives AB=8. The perimeter is (8+16+8*3^(1/2)) which is what the question requires us to show. Angle B is 90 degree because AC is the diameter and B is on the circumcircle. :) (I could give a...

    ABC is a right angled triangle. Angle subtended by diameter is always 90 degree. So angle ABC is 90. angle c will be half of (pi/3) that is (pi/6). so you just use sin and cos with the hypotenuse AC equal to 16. So no need to use cosine rule and stuff. It is just o level maths knowledge.

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    in trigonometric equations, you should always use the range of sin, cos, and tan. in this one, f(x)=3-4cos^2(x) , you know that -1=<cos<=1. So 0=<cos^2<=1 as -1 becomes 1. Since we have negative 4cos^2, we reverse the signs and multiply by 4 to get 0=>-4cos^2>=(-4). Then simply add 3 to the...

    ii) First you have to realise that boxes do not have to slide. We know the mass of A which is 200 kg and can calculate the vertical contact force which is equal to weight i.e 2000 N. Multiply the C. of friction i.e 2000*0.2 to get 400 N. It means that this is maximum force which the box B...

    First you have to find the displacement of P which is equal to that of Q as is given. Integrating (3t-0.3t^2) with limits 10 and 0 gives you the displacement. Then simply assume greatest speed to be v and find area under graph given i.e 0.5 *v*10 and equate it with the displacement found. I...

    taking derivative: 3x^2 + 3(y^2)y'=3y + 3xy' (1) (cut the 3s out) >> x^2-y = (x-y^2)y' >> if y'=0 then x^2=y using the original equation: x^3 + x^6=3x^3 >> x=2^(1/3) and y=2^(2/3) taking derivative again of (1): 2x + 2y(y')^2 + (y^2)y'' = y' + y' + xy'' >> since y'=0 , 2x + (y^2)y''= xy'' >>y''...

    Well this part follows the previous part of sketching the graph. Also it is an easier method.

    (Cosx-1)^2 = (1-cosx)^2 because minus sign taken common becomes plus due to the square.

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    It is 90 degree. You can draw a graph and look at the value for which the function is one to one. Use tan=sin/cos first and then open the square. The combine the fraction and use sin^2=1-cos^2. Use the difference of squares identity and cut the '1-cosx' from the numerator and denominator. And...

    AS Maths

    I am giving as maths this session. It is quite good enough for an 'a' grade in As level but you can't say anything about A2. A lot depends on the other three papers especially P-3 which is more difficult than P-1 You should look at the past GTs. But anyways you should aim higher and not just get...

    Accelerated Maths! Plz Help

    If you have a teacher who will teach you the whole syllabus then why not? M1 is all physics as level but more mathematical and will be easy if you study physics. I can't say about P3 with surety but if you work hard then why not try it? You can always have a retake in your A2 year( assuming that...
