    In the 'ii' part, we'll construct a circle with center 1,2 and radius 2. Using that same diagram for the 'iii' part to find the greatest arg z, we'll draw a tangent to the circumference of the circle and make the x-axis our base line, like the one illustrated in this diagram (tangent and the...

    HELP NEEDED URGENT !!!!!!

    I had the same breakup grades as yours in AS Level Mathematics and what I got was a B grade. If you want an overall A grade in Mathematics, you should work hard and try to get good grades in P3 and M1.

    Such questions in which you've to take a substitution yourself have never appeared in the previous maths paper 3's but still this's how you'll do it: Take the substitution x -4 = (u)^2 x = (u)^2 + 4 dx = 2u du Substitute the value of 'x' and 'dx' with 'x = (u)^2 + 4' and 'dx = 2u du'...

    First of all, you'll simultaneously solve the curve equation and the line equation. y = x^2 y = x + 2 x^2 = x + 2 x^2 - x - 2 = 0 x^2 - 2x +1x -2 = 0 x ( x - 2) + 1 (x - 2) =0 x = 2, x = -1 Now we have the x-coordinates of the point at which the curve meets the line. Accordingly, we'll...

    The point where it crosses the 'y-axis', x=0 over there. Differentiate 'y = (x^3) + (3x^2) - 2x - 6' with respect to 'x' to obtain the gradient function. The gradient function is '(dy/dx) = (3x^2) + 6x - 2'. Insert 'x=0' in this equation to get a value for the gradient which is '-2' in this...

    First of all, you'll integrate (d^2)y / (dx^2) = 2x + 1 to obtain the gradient equation. The gradient equation will come out to be (dy) / (dx) = (x^2) + x + c. To find the value 'c', you'll substitute dy/dx=3 and x=-1 in this equation. The value of 'c' comes out to be 3. Now you have the...

    In the first part, we need to find out the values of 'R' and 'α'. We are given the equation 'cos θ + (√3) sin θ' and using this we can easily calculate the values of 'R' and 'a'. To find 'R', we'll use the formula √[(a)^2 + (b)^2] and to find 'α', we'll use the formula tan α = (b)/(a). Doing it...

    To find A and B, you can take any values of x, y and z such that if you put those values in the equation of the plane, their sum equals to '4'. For example: Take A = (2, 0, 0) & Take B = (0, 0, 1) Clearly A and B are on the plane since each point satisfies the equation of the plane. The...

    Okay so this is how you'll do the first question you've mentioned. You need to find the upper and the lower limit first because without it you wont be able to calculate the area enclosed between the curves. You'll find the first limit by keeping both the curves equal to each other (in other...

    I think you didn't clearly look at the diagram which is printed in the book. The point at which the curve and the vertical line intersects is x=1. Therefore, we'll first integrate y = 1 / (2x + 1)^2 using '1' as the upper limit and '0' as the lower limit. After integrating, we'll obtain the...

    Differentiate 'y=k/x' using the quotient rule. The derivative will come out to be 'dy/dx=(-k) / x^2'. Then substitute the value of x=2 and the gradient (dy/dx)=-3 in this equation and calculate the value of 'k'. The value of 'k' is 12. If you are finding it difficult to differentiate, then it'll...

    You'll first find the co-ordinates of C which'll be (10,0). Now as BA=CD, you can find the coordinates of D by vector move. To go from B to A, you need to move 4 places to the left on the x-axis (-1, 0, 1, 2) and 6 places upwards on the y-axis (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14). Now you'll simply add '4'...

    [(1 + sin x) / cos x] + (cos x / (1 + sin x)] Take the LCM and write it as a single fraction. {[(1 + sin x)^2 + cos^2 x] / cos x(1 + sin x)} Expand (1+sin x)^2 so that it becomes 1 + 2 sin x + sin^2 x. Now in the numerator you have 1 + 2 sin x + sin^2 x +cos^2 x. Recall the identity sin^2 x...
