show that the equation (a)sin(x-60)-cos(30-x)=1 can be written as cosx=k where k is a constant
(b) hence solve the above equation from 0<x <180

B part only pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Show tan(3x+x) = 2tan (60-x) in the form of tan^2x+ 6 (3)^1/2 tanx-5 =0
2) hence solve the equation for 0<x <180

If f(x)= (36x^2) -(2x^4)
Find the interval for which f(x) is a decreasing function.

^Can anyone please solve it, along with explanation.
its simple cuz u need to get the derivative first then put it less than 0
then solve that inequality to get the critical values of xand then u can randomly put the values of x into the inequality.. if inequality satisfies then u get the correct range
which can either be b/w the critical values or it can be above the greater critical value and lesser than the smaller critical value :p

dy/dx=72x-8x^3
putting dy/dx=0
72x-8x^3=0
multiply both sides with -1
8x^3-72x=o
take x common
x(8x^2-72)=0
u get the critical values as
x=0
x=+3
x=-3
u get the range of the values of x for which f(x) is decresing as
x>3
It can be totally wrong though :p

f(x)= (6+7x)/(2-x)(1+x^2)= A/(2-x) + Bx+C/(1+x^2)
Cross Multiply: 6+7x = A(1+x^2) + Bx+C(2-x)
Let x=2: 6+7(2) = A(1+4) A = 4
Coefficient of x^2: Ax^2 - Bx^2= 0x^2
A=B , B=4
Coefficient of x: Bx - Cx = 7x
4x - Cx = 7x
-Cx = 3x
C= -3
How did you got that Bx+C?

How did you got that Bx+C?
Its the formula that my teac gave. You can alternatively break it into A/2-x + B/1+x + C/1+x^2 and solve it but its kind of complicated and takes more effort, so feel free to use this formula. The Bx+C is only for quadratic factors, like here you have 1 term that's x^2.

Assalamu `Alaykum.
I was wondering if we need to know how to derive laws, so in P3 do they ask questions like, prove that log a - log b = log (a/b)?

7a.
3(a+bi) + 2i(a-bi) = 17+8i
Expand:
3a+3bi+2ai+2b = 17+8i
Equate imaginary numbers on both sides and real numbers on both sides:
(3b+2a)i = 8i
3b+2a=8 and 2b+3a=17
Solve simultaneously:
(Multiply eq.1 with 2 and eq.2 with 3 or vice-versa.)
6b+4a=16
6b+9a=51
a=7, b=-2
So w=7-2i.

Don't know about 7b, sorry about that!

Hello friends can anyone help me to understand no. ( i i i ) in this particular question. I am facing difficulty in understanding what happens when someone refuses. This question is from S1 Permutation and combination

A committee of 5 people is to be chosen from 6 men and 4 women. In how many ways can this be done
(i) if there must be 3 men and 2 women on the committee,
( i i ) if there must be more men than women on the committee,
( i i i ) if there must be 3 men and 2 women, and one particular woman refuses to be on the committee
with one particular man?

( i i ) if there must be more men than women on the committee,
( i i i ) if there must be 3 men and 2 women, and one particular woman refuses to be on the committee
with one particular man?
First, find the no. of ways in which none of them is included (i.e. neither the woman who refuses, nor the man is included)
No. of ways in which neither of the two particular man and woman are included: 5C3*3C2 = 30

Then find the no. of ways in which the man is included but the woman is not: 6C3*3C2 = 60

Hence total no. of ways in which the committee can be selected is : 30+60 = 90 <-- so here goes your answer :)
