ill explain u how (n-2)d=(n-1)d-d

we expand (n-2)d : and get nd-2d
we change equation to nd-d-d. they both are equal its just that i changed -2d into -d-d
then we factor d outside and get : (n-1)d-d

hope that helped
if still not ask again by stating what part u didnt get.
Ok, now I get it!
What about this part? "WE SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE OF z+(n-1)d

THUS WE GET: S=n/2[z+{(y+d)/2}"
I subsitiuted it...but I couldnt come up with --> S=n/2[z+{(y+d)/2} Could you pls explain?:)

ok listen up for part b:
v=0.04t−0.00005t*2 given

we found out in the previous part(i) that the acceleration from (0 to 400 s )=0.02m/s*2
to find the velocity we find the integral of a=0.02
it will be equal to v1=0.02t+constant
we dont know what the constant is but we can find it out: when v=1, t=0 therefore 1=0.02(0)+constant ;1=constant

thus we got v1=0.02t+1
we then form equation : v1−v=0.02t+1−0.04t−0.00005t*2

simplifying the equation gives : v1−v=0.000 05(t − 200)*2−1


as for part c it is quite easy:
the lowest value you can get is when t=200: v1−v=0.00005(200−200)*2−1
v1−v=0−1=−1

the maximum value you can get is when t=0: v1−v=0.00005(0-200)*2−1
v1−v=0.00005(40000)−1
v1−v=2−1=1

thus −1 ≤ v1− v ≤ 1

hope it helped; if u have any doubts in the solving i will be happy to help
THANX :D HELP REALLY APPRECIATED.. ;) (y)

P is a point in an argand diagram corresponding to a complex number z which satisfies |4+z| - |4-z| = 6. Prove that |4+z|^2 - |4-z|^2 ≧ 48 and deduce that Re z ≧ 3.

the sum equals to : S=
gif.latex

we know the value of z+(n-1)d=(y+d)/2

2z+(n-1)d is the same as z+z+(n-1)d

we substitute the value of z+(n-1)d to obtain:
gif.latex

then we simplify to get:
gif.latex



then we move the 2 outside to get :
gif.latex

as 2z+d=x we obtain n/4[x+y]

hope it helped

can sum1 plz help me asap
-Express 4x2-12x+3 in the form (ax+b)2+c where a, b and c are constants and a is greater than 0
-The line y=5x-3 is a tangent to the curve y=kx2-3x+5 at the point A. Find the cordinates of A
can sum1 plz REPLY ASAP!!!!

The only trouble I'm having here is how do you get |4+z|+|4-z|≧ 8

y = 5x - 3 , y = kx^2 + 3x + 5

Equate both equations:
kx^2 + 3x + 5 = 5x - 3
kx^2 + 3x - 5x + 5 + 3 = 0
kx^2 - 2x + 8 = 0

Tangent ---- b^2 -4ac =0
(-2)^2 - 4(k)(8) = 0
4 - 32k = 0
32k = 4
k = 1/8

uhh... u made a mistake its supposed 2 b y=kx^2-3x+5 hence the value of k is 2. i get that part but now how do u find the cordinates?

The only trouble I'm having here is how do you get |4+z|+|4-z|≧ 8
|4+z| - |4-z| = 6 ---------i
|4+z|^2 - |4-z|^2 ≧ 48-------------ii

if u notice, the second eq is in the form a^2 - b^2..so if we expand:
(|4+z|+|4-z|) (|4+z| - |4-z|) >=48
put (i) in the eq:
(|4+z| +|4-z|)(6) >=48
|4+z| +|4-z| >=8

Yeah I worked backwards and got that. But that's by working backwards! If we didn't know the equation was (|4+z|+|4-z|) (|4+z| - |4-z|) >=48 how would we get |4+z|+|4-z|≧ 8 from |4+z| - |4-z| = 6 :/ ? That's why I'm confused :(

ok...if u don't want to do it backwards think about what you have to do in order to get the req inequality..we do know that its in a^2 - b^2 form so if we multiply (|4+z| + |4-z|) to both sides of (i) we should get some results..
=> |4+z|^2 - |4-z|^2 = 6 (|4+z| + |4-z|)
6 (|4+z| + |4-z|) >=48
|4+z| + |4-z| >= 8

now u cant complain even though its the same thing repeated..where did u get this question anyway...doesn't seem like its for A level
