May someone please explain to me how to get the coordinates of the point of intersection of the straight lines.....
2x+3y=11
3x-5y=-12
I have my paper 2 tomorrow:\

Try to imagine what is the point of intersection?! See it's the point where both the line meet..which means the coordinates of that point are ofcourse same for both lines...that is x and y values are same in the eqn of both the lines!

Therefore, when you solve the 2 eqns simultaneously, it'll give u the x and y values for the point of intersection!

In short, solve the two eqns simultaneously...and dont forget to write in the form (x , y)

1)Remember it is the constant maximum speed.. In the graph constant speed is b/w 2 and 10 therefore 10-2 = 8
The next hint is see the y-axis and x-axis.Y axis is speed metre/second .. X-axis is time minutes so we will had to definitely convert the minutes into second to make same units. So, multiply 8 x 60 = 480seconds


2)1/2 x 2 x 15 ---> Remember we should convert into seconds 2 x 60 = 120 1/2 x 120 x 15 = 900m
8 x 15 -----> Remember we should convert into seconds 8 x 60 = 480 480 x 15 = 7200m
1/2 x 4 x 15 ----> Remember we should convert into seconds 4 x 60 = 240 1/2 x 240 x 15 = 1800 m
TOTAL DISTANCE = 900 + 7200 + 1800 = 9900 metres


3)Acceleration = Speed / Time
= 15 / (2 x 60)
= 15/120 = 0.125 m/s ^2

I have a question haha:

A spherical balloon of radius 3 metres has a volume of 36π cubic metres.
It is further inflated until its radius is 12 m.
Calculate its new volume, leaving your answer in terms of π.

The answer is 2304π but I have no clue how they got the answer.

Thanks in advance.

MASS Mid-point(x) Frequency FX
10-20 15 10 150
20-40 30 30 900
40-50 45 20 900

Therefore Mean = Sum of FX / Sum of frequency
Sum of FX= 1950
Sum of F = 60
There fore mean = 1950/60 = 32.5g

AoA!
For help on transformation matrices, please check my previous post here.
The formula to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence is: a + (n - 1)d1 + 1/2 (n - 1)(n - 2)d2 ,
where: a is the 1st term of the sequence
d1 is the difference b/w the first two terms of the sequence
d2 is the constant difference b/w any two terms of the derived sequence.
