Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

The first matrix is of the order 3 x 2. The second matrix is of the order 2 x 4. The order of the product matrix will thus be 3 x 4.
If two matrices of orders p x q and q x r are being multiplied, the order of the product matrix is always given by p x r. :)

Salaam Math_angel :). My first question of the day : P

http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/index.ph ... _qp_22.pdf

Qns. 21 (b)... the answer I get is 480, the answer in the marking scheme is 960. After doing 3 papers in a row I was still fine, until I hit THIS question which gave me a very bad headache...

Your help will always be appreciated.

Question 2 Part (f)(iii). Help needed. Thanks.
The matrix is:

(1 0)
(1 1)

They ask you to find the transformation that maps the image triangle onto the real triangle (object). It is shear with scale factor +1 and y-invariant line.

The car travels faster than the truck from time 15s to 55s. The distance travelled by the car is the TOTAL area under the graph during this time. You are missing one point here. The calculation would be like this: [1/2 x (55-15) x (36-12)] + [(55-15) x (36-12)].
I think you can figure it out now. :)

The matrix remains the same except that the number representing the shear factor (in the matrix) is multiplied by - 1 to give the aforementioned matrix. Btw, you have to learn the main transformation matrices.

When thy tell you to simplify as much as possible, they mean expand or factorize? Or does it not matter?

Salaam all !!
Hope everyone is havin a cool day :)

Just have little kiddish doubts. Like how to factorise x^2 - 4
It will be appreciated if further examples are given.

Some other doubts are:-
Q16
Paper 2 :http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/Cambridge IGCSE/0581 - Mathematics Extended/0581_w10_qp_22.pdf

Good luck for all thos havin a Maths paper tommorow like me.
Wish me luck too !! :)

x^2-4
Following a^2-b^2 :
(x-2)(x+2)

Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

well chantoo pantoo...for ure question
2^8 x 8^2 x 4^-2
2^8 x (2^3)^2 x (2^2)^-2
2^8 x 2^6 x 2^-4
2^8+6+(-4)
2^10
hope u get what i wrote over here x means multiplication

and pprgeek
(a) (16/81 x^16)^1/2
square root (16/81) and x^16*1/2
u'll get 4/9 x^8
(b) 16 y^10*4 y^-4/32 y^7
16 * 4 /32 * y^10+(-4) -7
2y^-1
hope you also get what i wrote over here x is the unknown and * stands for multiplication
