Your identity is incorrect, the RHS should be 8 (cosx)^4 -3.
I have provided the solution for this:



For (ii), what equation exactly are you referring to? Note that (i) is an identity, there is nothing to solve for.

Peace.

THANK U SO MUCH> I APPRECIATE IT ALOT> ILIKED UR FB PAGE :D

Okay, so there was a question of Trigonometry.
If arctan A = x and arctan B = y, express tan(A+B) in terms of x and y.
The answer is x + y / 1 - xy. I'm missing a tiny concept but I dunno where ofcourse. :p

tan (A + B) = (tan A + tan B)/(1 - (tan A)(tan B))

from the info given, rearrange, and you get: x = tan A ; y = tan B

just substitute, and you get x + y / 1 - xy

For (i) I obtained an acceleration value of 4 m/s^2.

(ii) Maximum height reached by A =distance B falls through before reaching the ground
Let this be s.
Then using v^2 =u^2 + 2as, substituting in the values, we have
1.6^2 = 0^2 +2 (4)(s) =====> s= 0.32 m (shown)

(iii) Using s=ut + 0.5*a*t^2, substituting in the values, we have
0.32 = 0.5*(4)*t^2 =2 t^2
Hence, t^2 = 0.16 =====> t=0.4 s (shown)

Hope this helps. Peace.

Yeah I agree with you !
But the answer isn't right I guess :(
Have a look in the marking scheme !

(ii)the distance moved by B is,
1.6^2 = 0+2(4)s
s= 0.32 m

this is NOT the maximum height reached by A, this is only the the distance A moved above the ground while b was moving downard. from this instant B will be touchin the ground so there will be no tension in the string anymore because the string is slack which means from now on A is moving upward under gravity (g ms^-2 ). so the maximum height A has moved is the distance it moved while b was moving downward PLUS the distance it moved till it reaches 0 velocity ( max height )
V^2 = u^2 + 2as
0 = 1.6^2 + 2(-10)(s)
s = 0.128

total distance moved by A = 0.32 + 0.128 = 0.448m

(iii) now for the total time taken, in the first stage when it was moving with an acceleration of 4ms^-2 it was:

v = u + at
1.6 = o + 4t
t= 0.4 s

now for the second stage when it was moving with a DECELERATION of 10 ms^-2

v = u + at
0 = 1.6 + -10t
t= 0.16 s

total time taken = 0.4 + 0.16
total time taken = 0.56 s

hope this makes sense to u, anymore questions feel free to ask me :)

Yeah thank you very much !
I'll pm you ? Ok ?

a particle p is projected vertically upwards from o with velocity 40 m/s one second later another particle is projected from O with the same vertical velocity .after what time and at what heoght will the two particles collide?
