Hey guys I have a Math AS question.
How do I solve 1)ii)
I know I should substitute y=2x-(x)sqr but I don't know what next? Please help... :(
As well as 3)ii)

Thanks in advance

for i) you might have expanded given expression up to 3rd terms
ii) first let y = 2x - x^2
and then use your expanded expression in (i) simplify all terms and then you will find coefficient of x^2

for 3 (ii) Let AB = (1/k) m (Since they are both parallel)
i.e. m = ABk.........(i)
use given position vectors to find AB when p=4
and then find vector m in terms of k with above equation....(i)
u r then given magnitude of m i.e. |m| = 28
use magnitude formula
u will get k=4
now substitute value of k in equation (i)
required vector is then m.
hope u got it

tried my best to draw properly:) it will reach infinity

A friend of mine says this...
The negative sign means graph will be inverse and tan(x/2) means 360degrees mein se Tan will have 1 cycle (compared to the usual 2). So we're to make a graph with greatest value of y as 2 and then move the graph 5 units upwards!

no the one i drew is right asked my maths teacher too coz when you take x=2 it becomes tan(pie/2) which gives math error on calculator so it will reach infinity before x=pie

Its funny cos I asked my Maths teacher about that method I typed... he says it's right. -_-

if we follow what you wrote then the range of this graph calculated in the previous part of this question that is f(x)<equal to 3 would be wrong too
