I imagine so, since:Ummmmm hey is there any rule, in vectors, that if a.b is negative, the angle is obtuse?
Thanks!I imagine so, since:
a•b = |a|*|b|*cos(theta)
The magnitude of the two vectors will each be positive in all cases, and cosine of an obtuse angle is negative, so it would make sense that the dot product producing a negative result would indicate an obtuse angle in between them.
ln(2x + 3) = 2 ln x + ln 3Can anyone help me with this http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s12_qp_33.pdf
Question 2
You got:View attachment 57051
For this question part ii
I have the final equation for the answer as:
2cos²x - 3cosx - 1 = 0
This is correct according to the mark scheme as well
Then to find x you use the formula -b +- √b² - 4ac divided by 2a...
So by using that I'm getting
1/4(3+√17) AND 1/4(3-√17)
Now it says that the first one i.e 1/4(3+√17) is invalid since the range is from 1 to -1
I don't understand how you know the range for x?? Like how and why is it 1 to -1
Please explain!:S
Oh i see! Thankyou!You got:
cosx = 1/4(3+√17) and cosx = 1/4(3-√17)
Let's focus on the invalid one:
cosx = 1/4(3+√17)
cosx = 1.7807764...
Now you've learnt that the range of cosx is from -1 to +1. You can do cos of ANY angle you want to try and it will NEVER be greater than 1. So for cos(x) to be 1.78... We know that's impossible.
Thank you so muchln(2x + 3) = 2 ln x + ln 3
ln(2x + 3) = ln x^2 + ln 3 (raising the power rule)
ln(2x + 3) = ln (3x^2) (the sum law of logarithms)
2x+3 = 3x^2 (since its an equation we can remove the log from both sides)
3x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 (rearrange)
x = -0.721, 1.387 (solve the quadratic equation using the formula)
Because the way in which the red sweets can be picked out can have different combinationsView attachment 57063 View attachment 57064
can someone plz tell me y do we have to multiply by 7c3 in the end

Just make sure you understood that convergent means |r|< 1.PLZZ help me with this !!!
Just make sure you understood that convergent means |r|< 1.
Why?
Because convergent means narrowing down to a definite value(intersecting you may call)
What gives a definite value for sum to infinity in a geometric progression is when |r|<1
oh i got it. thans alotBecause the way in which the red sweets can be picked out can have different combinations
For example in the answer above you have found out the probability of picking 3 red sweets in the first 3 chances
It may be that you pick out a red sweet in the 2nd , 4th and 6th chance etc...
So you multiply by 7C3 in order to obtain the different possible chances of picking red sweets in the different orders
