    You're right, just apply the formula to the question at hand, sorry I wasn't clearer

    Yes the OP forgot the w in the first few steps but it has no effect on the final answer, because w here is just like x in a quadratic eqn such as: ax^2 + bx+c = 0 x = -b +- sqrt ( (b)^2 - 4 (a) (c) ) / 2a So it doesn't have any effect, thanks for pointing it out!!

    Thanks :D It's the first rule of trig, cos^2 + sin^2 = 1 , so cos^2 = 1- sin^2 Hope this helps!

    I'm so sorry, my brain isn't working right now, but I checked my copybook, and for some reason I equated dy/dx to x So I got : +x^3 - 2x^2 - x = 0 Hence x = 1 Why though I equated it to x, I have no clue :O If you figure it out let me know!!

    Thank you so much!! This was very helpful!! just a little question though, in part (iii) How did you get the length sqrt(8) + 2 ? I know it's a silly question but thanks a heap :$ God bless you!

    The rule he used here is this one : S is integral S f ' (x)/ f(x) dx = ln |f(x)| + c So he realized that if you diff y^2 + 4 you get 2y , but that's not the case in the numerator, to make it the case though, we can simply multiply inside the integral by two AND divide outside the integral by...

    Although you'd find better luck on the Statistics forum, I'll attempt to solve it tomorrow

    Sorry to bother, but this is the last past paper I'm solving before the exam and I just can't get it right at all >.< Darn complex numbers! http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Mathematics%20%289709%29/9709_s12_qp_33.pdf It's question ten, usually i...

    Hello guys, I'm solving http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s12_qp_33.pdf and I had this beautifully posted solutions to all the paper, i', just wondering in Question 5 (ii) How did they get that formula? Why did they divide by 70 and...

    Not really, I just show it as a step to acknowledge the flipping of the limits.. since the upper limit was smaller than the lower, that is why they asked us to flip them and as a general rule you multiple by negative one, doesn't matter where really :D

    Sorry if it's unclear, I just relaized!! I multiplied by negative one outside the integral, and the numerator is supposed to be -10 u which would give us +10 u and the answer they are looking for , sorry again!
