I'm re-posting this.. anyone??

5 ii)
here they told us about the gradient, that means we need to differentiate that equation.

6e^2x + ke^y + e^2y = c
ke^y + e^2y = c - 6e^2x (we differentiate each term with respect to x)
ke^y(dy/dx) + 2e^2y(dy/dx) = -12e^2x
dy/dx(ke^y + 2e^2y) = -12e^2x
hence dy/dx = -12e^2x/(ke^y + 2e^2y)

you're given that at point P the gradient is -6 and that the point P has coordinates (ln3 , ln2)
substitute these into the expression for gradient ( dy/dx = -12e^2x/(ke^y + 2e^2y) ) and u'll find the value of 'k'
use this value and the equation from 5(i) to find 'c'
in the end u should get 'k = 5' and 'c = 68'

hope you've understood :)

This is step by step solution of integral. U can put values of x and take the difference urself. And if u r doing it for P1 then it is not in syllabus. It is in P2 because the logs are not in P1.

If the equation which i got is N =( 1800e^t/2 ) / 5 + e^t/2 )

And question says : According to the model, how many birds will there be after a long time?

Find the Remainder
when 8x^3-10x^2 -x +3 is Divided by 2x^2 -1 ......

Answer is 3x -2
but i get it as -2 only!

yes u can. just sketch a graph of sin and then think that u are taking root of every important point. like at 0 sin is 0 so sin^1/2 is 0. at pi/2 it is 1 so sin^1/2 is one. and so on. but in third and fourth quadrant sin will be negative so it's square root will not be real. so the graph from 0-pi will be like a simple sin function but only shape not values. for sketching u can draw three points with coordinates (0,0) (pi/2,1) and (pi,0)

if a degree three term is divided by degree two term we get a linear(degree 1) term not a constant. do u want me to do that now would u like to try it again?

Q 7 pleaasee... cant get the right answer for part iv
two of my sides are 2units in length but the third one from both the non origin coordinates is 4units in length instead. what am i doing wrong?

Pleaase explain how we can do part ii of this question!!
from (i) u found dy/dx to be "-tant"
you can use (y - y1) = m(x - x1) to find the equation of the tangent
where y1 = a(sin^3)t , x1 = a(cos^3)t and m = -tant = -sint/cost

so,
y - a(sin^3)t = -sint/cost(x - a(cos^3)t) [multiply by cost]
ycost - acost(sin^3)t = -xsint + asint(cos^3)t
xsint + ycost = asint(cos^3)t + acost(sin^3)t
xsint + ycost = asintcost (cos^2t + sin^2t) [cos^2t + sin^2t =1]
xsint + ycost = asintcost <==equation of tangent

hope u understood :)
