U guys have misread the question!I know that a function has an inverse when it is one-one only.But if u click this God-damn link and see q8(iii) you eyes will see that the question is "STATE THE SMALLEST VALUE OF P FOR WHICH F IS ONE-ONE.o_Ohttp://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s12_qp_11.pdf
calm down swt hrt...
u posted one question then sumone replies then u post another question so u wait fr sum to read it yeah hunz?

You technically copied what was written in the mark scheme. I would write something like this:
tan^2@ - sin^2@ is always greater than zero for the values of theta between 0 to 90. Hence,
tan^2@ - sin^2@ > 0
tan^2@ > sin^2@
tan@ > sin@
Now that I think about it, you did write everything that is required plus it is just worth one mark so you aren't expected to do much working. So that should be enough :p
plzz help him talha :p

Best method for question 1 may/june -10 paper 11

I really needed this :).
BTW how did you do i)
i mean i did some thing like this:
tan(pi-x)
=tan(pi) -tan(x)
= 0 - k
=-k
Is this wrong?
Is that an identity? If yes, is it included in syllabus of p1, i freaking find alot of identities out of syllabus. I mean we are supposed to know only two identities:
tan(x)= sin(x)/cos(x), and [sin^2 (x)] * [cos^2 (x)] = 1

Thanks alot :) but there some small problems ..
( we have to remove the +- to do that look at the domain if it says x≥ hen we use + if it says x≤ then we use - ) I didn't understand what you mean by this can you explain it in details please :)


and for Q6(ii) I also got 0.31 but in ms it is given +-0.31 ? from where "-" came ?! ..

and for Q8(iii) It is given in the ms C =5 however I got it -4/15 too !!
cox=(1-(pie/6) )*2 =0.952 <----- when you square root in this step you have + and -
x= cos inverse of 0.952 make sure your calculator is in radians mode
x=0.31
and for Q8 no the ms doesn't say c=5 :/ it means to say 'intergrated part'+c=y
and we know y=5 so 'intergrated part'+c=5

That's also a correct method, but I prefer this.
But I used alpha beta formulaes
tan ( alpha - beta ) = ( tan alpha - tan beta ) / ( 1 + tan alpha beta )
And I think it is part of p1 as alpha beta formula is part of p1 syllabus. :)
And you are absolutely right :)
