    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Thank you for your reply.. I understand that the line x=3 acts as a line of symmetry since it is the turning point.. but I don't get why A is 6 (If x >= 0). Could you please explain that? Along with the above, I also need help in qn 10 (v) and 11 (iii).. please please help me solve the...

    Yeah.. as it is said in the question: The tension in each cable between A and B and the ship is 4000N.

    (ii) Draw a vector diagram to scale showing these three forces and use your diagram to find the value of the drag force on the ship.

    Physics: Post your doubts here!

    Please help me with the question below.. I don't understand how to solve vector questions! A ship is pulled at a constant speed by two boats A and B, as shown in the diagram. The engine of the ship does not produce any force. The tension in each cable between A and B and the ship is...

    I assume you know how to find the integrals of the type (u)^n. Now, to find the integrals of the more complicated forms i.e (ax+b)^n.. you have to use the substitution method in order to convert it into the form (u)^n, which will make it easier to find the integral. I'll explain this in form...

    Hmm yeah.. that makes sense. I was wrong about the tangent thingy.. sorry! Thanks a lot for your help..

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Then you must have checked the marking scheme.. i could do that too :p Btw.. a tangent does not intersect the curve..

    Thanks.. but why do you have to solve them simultaneously and use the discriminant?

    Thank you for your reply.. I'm still confused :( Are we dividing just the denominator by 3 or the whole term? 3/2 divided by 3 = 3/6 ! If you don't mind.. can you please please show the working..

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Thanks a lot.. ur amazing! I understood fully till step 3.. but I don't get why you differentiated the term in the bracket and divided the whole term by the answer. Secondly, in step 6, I don't understand why you multiplied 1.5 by 3.. please explain the steps 4, 5, 6 & 7. I know I'm...
