Verify that the plane with equation x-2y+2z=6 is parallel to the plane with equation r. (1,-2,2)=4 Find the perpendicular distances from the origin to each plane, and hence find the perpendicular distance between the planes.

Can anyone solve Question 9 of 9709_s13_qp_31
Thanks a lot for help!

(9-i) Let theta be denoted by "x".
4 cosx + 3 sinx = R cos (x-a)
R = (4^2 + 3^2)^(1/2) = 5
a = arctan (3/4) = 0.6435 rad. (4 d.p.)
Hence,
4 cosx + 3 sinx = 5 cos (x-0.6435)

(ii) 5 cos (x-0.6435) = 2
0<x<2pi
0-0.6435<x-0.6435<2pi -0.6435
-0.6435<x-0.6435<5.6397
cos b = 2/5 (b is the basic angle)
b=1.15928
x-0.6435 = 1.15928, 2pi - 1.15928
x = 1.80278, 5.76741
x= 1.80, 5.77 (3 s.f.)

(iii) I'll denote the integral sign by "int".
int (50/(5cos(x-0.6435))^2) = int (2/(cos(x-0.6435)^2)
= int (2 (sec(x-0.6435))^2)
2 tan(x-0.6435)

The curve y =(ln x)/(x + 1)
has one stationary point.
(i) Show that the x-coordinate of this point satisfies the equation
x =(x + 1)/ln x
and that this x-coordinate lies between 3 and 4.

PLease post answer ASAP

i)

AC has weight 20 N. The weigh is at the middle.
BC has weight 25 N. The weight is at the middle.
Moment = force * perpendicular distance.

Taking moments at B

Clockwise moment = anti clock wise moment

5 * T = 2*20 + 2*25

Make T the subject of formula..

what about the rest ?

Anybody having some notes for binomial distribution. I am finding this subject really horrifying. Even my Home tutor is not able to make me understand this topic.!

We know that the integral of tanx = -ln(cosx) + c
and this can be done by substituion method. Can anyone do this with integration by parts?
Why can't I get the same answer by using f(x) = Integral [ (1)tanx ]; I was considering tanx = u and 1 = dv.
