Can someone please help me with question 7(ii), 8(i) & 11(ii).
Thanks a bunch in advance. (y)
SRY i thought u meant Q7i) btw for ii) i got f inverse to be-x^2 +10x -14 am nt really sure
Q8i)d^2y/dx^2= 9(3x-4)^1/2 -6
Q11(ii) dy/dx=2x(x-2) + (x-2)^2 using product rule
expand
2x^2 -4x + x^2 -4x + 4
simplify
3x^2 - 8x + 4=0
x=2/3 & x=2
therefore b=2/3

Summer 11 paper 32
Question 4 i)
Please help.

Thank you!

OCT is a right-angled triangle with OCT being 90 degree.
So, tan x = CT/r
CT =r tanx
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base* height =1/2 *r * rtanx
Area of shaded region = 1/2 r^2 tanx- 1/2 r^2 x
Area of semi-circle = 1/2* r^2* π
Area of semi-circle= area of shaded region
1/2*r^2* π = 1/2 * r^2* (tanx -x)
After canceling from both sides you get
π + x= tanx

How to solve these questions. 33/M/J/12

Q3) x= sin 2θ - θ, y= cos 2θ + 2 sinθ

show that dy/dx = 2 cosθ/1+2 sinθ

Q6)

It is given tan 3x = k tan x, where k is constant and tan x not equal to 0

i) By first expanding tan(2x+x), show that

(3k-1) tan^2x = k-3

Question #1

= Factorise it to get 2x ( 1- 1/2x^2)
= (2x)^5 (1+ 5C1 (-1/2x^2) + 5C2 (-1/2x^2)^2 + 5C3 (-1/2x^2)^3+............)
(32x^5) x (-10/8x^6) = -40/x

* x^5/x^6 = 1/x.

So, coefficient of 1/x is -40.

Sand is poured on to a horizontal floor at a rate of 4 cm^3/s and from a pile in the shape of a circular cone,of which the height is three-quarters of the radius .calculate the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 4cm.
Please can anyone solve this question for me its urgent?

dV/dt = 4

dr/dt = dr/dV x dV/dt

To find dr/dV, we need an equation connecting V and r.

Volume of a cone = (1/3)πr^2 h

In the question, we are told height is three-quarters of the radius, therefore replacing 'h' by (3/4)r :

V= (1/3)πr^2 (3r/4)
V =1/4 πr^3

dV/dr = (3/4)πr^2
dr/dV = 4/3(πr^2)

dr/dt = dr/dV x dV/dt
dr/dt = [4/3(πr^2)] x 4
dr/dt = 16/3πr^2

When r = 4,
dr/dt = 16/3π(4)^2
dr/dt = (1/3)π cms-1

Formula for volume of a cone is (1/3)(pi)(r^2)(h)
You're given that h = 3r/4 so the formula becomes (1/4)(pi)(r^3)
V = (1/4) πr^3
dV/dr = (3/4) πr^2
dV/dt = dV/dr * dr/dt
4 = (3/4) πr^2 * dr/dt
4 = (3/4) π (4)^2 * dr/dt
cross-multiply and you get-
dr/dt = 1/3π cm/s

salam

can someone explain me question 4(ii) from may june 2012
http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...S Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s12_qp_31.pdf

The complex number u is defined by u =((1+2i)^2)/(2+i)

(i) Without using a calculator and showing your working, express u in the form x + iy, where x and y are real.
(ii) Sketch an Argand diagram showing the locus of the complex number Z such that |Z− u| = |u|.
