hey can anyone help me solve these Qs of integration... i kno they are solved by that tan formula but i dunno how to apply that...


1)integral of ((x^2 -2x + 3))/ (x-1)( x^2 +2x +2))

ii)
f(x) = g(x)
2x - a = x^2 - 6x
x^2 - 8x + a = 0

Since one real solution, D = 0
D = b^2 - 4ac = 0
(-8)^2 - 4(1)(a) = 0
64 - 4a = 0
a = 16

iv)
let y = x^2 - 6x
y = x^2 - 6x + (-3)^2 - (-3)^2
y = (x - 3)^2 - 9
(x - 3)^2 = y + 9
x - 3 = √(y + 9)
x = √(y + 9) + 3

h-1(x) = √(x + 9) + 3

Domain: x ≥ -9
Thanx alot!! :D....

in first one
after finding a put it in the equation and find its derivative,put the derivative as 0 so that u find the stationary values of x,now do double derivative and put these values of x and see if points are a minimum if they are then put in the following step if one is then put that and forget the other :p,put the values in f(x) and see if u get negative answer which u shudnt as f(x) stays positive !
this proves that the graph never went beyond x axis and was always +,u use stationary values to find the values of x for minimum points because these values have f(x) at the lowest value so if they dont give u minus nothing will :D :D
U will get a cubic equation so u will need to solve it :p :p (hahaha thats why i didnt solve it its really boring ) :p

For the other one try it urself it really is straightforward,u need to use those different forms of expressing complex no. to get w then its quite easy ! Ill INSHAALLAH solve it tomorrow or soon as for now im really out of time sorry :( :(

f(x)=g(x)
So
k-x=9/(x+2)
(k-x)(x+2)=9
kx+2k-x^2-2x=9
-x^2+(k-2)x+2k-9=0
or
x^2+(2-k)x+9-2k=0

For Two Equal and real roots > b^2-4ac=0

(k-2)^2-4(-1)(2k-9)=0
k^2-4k+4+8k-36=0
k^2+4k-32=0

k = 4 or -8

now solve substituting values of k

for k=4
x^2+(2-k)x+9-2k=0
x^2+(2-4)x+9-2(4)=0
x^2-2x+1=0

root = 1

for k=-8
x^2+(2-k)x+9-2k=0
x^2+(2-(-8))x+9-2(-8)=0
x^2+10x+25=0

root = -5

so the values of k are 4 or -8. and the roots for these values are 1 and -5.

PS. Well i might have made some sign mix-ups while copying the solution from my copy ..

Hey guys. need help in question 8 part i) and ii). I think they got the answer wrong in the MS and ER for part i because it's only differentiated once and it's supposed to be differentiated twice.

That's because the equation given is dy/dx itself .. so to make it d2y/dx2 we just need to diffrentiate it once!

8 i)

dy/dx=2(3x + 4)^3/2 -6x -8
d2y/dx2= 9(3x+4)^1/2-6

8 ii)

put x=-1 in dy/dx=2(3x + 4)^3/2 -6x -8 and see if it equals zero.
dy/dx=2(3(-1) + 4)^3/2 -6(-1) -8
2(-3+4)^3/2+6-8
2+6-8=0

hence there is a stationary point at x=-1

Nature:
d2y/dx2= 9(3(-1)+4)^1/2-6
9(1)-6
d2y/dx2=3
d2y/dx2>0 so minimum.

part 4 (ii)

We know by part (i) that the factors are (x^2 +2x +2) (x^2 -4x +4)
to factorize (x^2 -4x +4)
this can be done as (x-2) ^2
then we d factorize (x^2 +2x +2)
we wud get ((x+1) ^2) +1)
now if we multiply ((x+1)^2) +1)) (x-2) ^2 all the negative terms wud be squared to give positive results thus
((x+1)^2) +1)) (x-2) ^2 > 0

Loss occurs when X<0.
P(X<0) = P(Z < 0 - 6.4/5.2)
= P(Z < - 1.231)
= 1 - Φ(1.231)
= 1 - 0.8909
= 0.1091

This is the probability of loss on any random given day.

Now finding the probability that loss occurs on exactly 1 of the next 4 days:
n = 4
r = 1
p = 0.1091
q = 0.8909

Probability = [4C1] (0.1091) (0.8909)³ = 0.309

thank you :D
i think i kinda sorta get the first part :D
but question 5 maybe straight forward for you ....... but not for me :p
so i would like it if you solved it :D
and about the boring part.......when is maths ever not boring ?? :S

ummm...its okay you don't have to do question 5 .....i got it now :D
after thinking really really hard of course :p
