This was a question i encountered in our Co-ordinate geometry class . I found the co-ordinates of one vertex but equating the equations by there's no way except the graph work i think this can be solved !! It might seem easy to you guys but its given me a hell already !! :x

The equations of two sides of a square are y = 3x - 1 and x + 3y -6 = 0. If ( 0, -1) is one vertex of the square find the coordinates of the other vertices.

:: Core Maths 3rd Edition; Pg 91, Q 11.

Answers = ( 9/10 , 17/10 ) <-- Found it !!
Other two can be
Either ( -18/10 , 26/10 ) and ( -27/10 , -19/10 )
Or ( 36/10 , 8/10 ) and ( 27/10, -19/10) !!

see your solution doesn't show the arrangement of different colors by their quantity. like 2R 1B 1G etc.

Re: Maths help available here!!! Stuck somewhere?? Ask here!

Q) f(x)= 1+ bx + ax^2 the maximum value is 4 where x= -1 find a and b.

y=1+bx+ax^2
when x=-1, y=4
4=1+b(-1)+a(-1)^2
3=-b+a-----(i)
b=a-3

differentiate the function
dy/dx= b+2ax
when y is max or min, dy/dx =0
In this case when x=-1, y is max
therefore, b+2a(-1)=0
b-2a=0-----(ii)

solve simultaneounly
b-2a=0
a-3-2a=0
-a-3=0
a=-3

b=a-3
b=-3-3
b=-6

Re: Maths help available here!!! Stuck somewhere?? Ask here!

Okay so last night i was doing some circular measure questions and this question was causing loads of problems :evil:

:: Core Maths, Chapter 10, Q 6 ( i ) ( l )

=> Write down, as a fraction of (pie), the possible values of x in the range 0 (less than and equal to ) x ( less than and equal to ) 2 pie.

~ sin x = -1/2
ans :: x = 7/6 pie, 11/6 pie

~sin x = - 1 / (under root) 2
ans :: x = 5/4 pie, 7/4 pie

P.S. If some has any link to any videos related to this chapter, do post em here. This was such a mess at school :cry:
