Can somebody explain 2 (ii)?
n = 15
Σx = 1572

Σ(x - 104.8)^2 = Σx^2 - (2)(104.8)Σx + Σ(104.8)^2 = Σx^2 - (2)(104.8)(1572) + (15)(104.8^2) --- i

Σ(x - 100)^2 = 499.2
Expanding LHS:
Σx^2 - 2(100)Σx + Σ(100^2) = 499.2
Σx^2 - (2)(100)(1572) + 150000 = 499.2
Σx^2 = 164899.2 --- ii

Put (ii) in (i):
Σ(x - 104.8)^2 = 153.6

and 9 (i)
Sorry for not posting link ....but xtremepapers isnt working good.

I'm guessing this is for the P3 paper.

9i) y = e^(-x/2) √(1+2x)
dy/dx = -1/2 e^(-x/2) * √(1+2x) + 1/2* 2 * (1+2x)^(-1/2) * e^(-x/2)
dy/dx = [-e^(-x/2) * √(1+2x)]/2 + e^(-x/2)/ √(1+2x)

For M, dy/dx = 0
[-e^(-x/2) * √(1+2x)]/2 + e^(-x/2)/ √(1+2x) = 0
Take LCM
[-e^(-x/2) * √(1+2x)* √(1+2x) + e^(-x/2) *2] / 2√(1+2x) =0
cross multiply, so the denominator becomes 0
-e^(-x/2) * (1+2x) +2e^(-x/2) = 0
take -e^(-x/2) common-
-e^(-x/2) [(1+2x) -2] =0
so,
-e^(-x/2) = 0 (NA) or -(1+2x) -1 = 0
1+2x -2 = 0
2x= 1
x =1/2

It's neither of those two. The answer for the question would be -π/3 ...

f(x)=x/2 + π/6
g(x)=Cos(x)
g(f(x)) = Cos((x/2+π/6))
Cos((x/2+π/6)) = 1
x/2+π/6= Cos^-1(1) (Cos Inverse of 1 = 0)
x/2+π/6=0
x/2=-π/6
x=-2π/6
x=-π/3

The working done here is perfect. There is an error in the marking scheme. I always check my answers against the Examiner's Report.

Thank you very much :D but there's this thinngy confusing me that inverse of cos 1 is 0 as well as 2pi so when put equal to 2 pi the answer turns out to be 5pi/3 as well

Hi guys.... Please help me with these questions... would be appreciated... Thanks :)
Q5,Q6ii, Q7iii, Q8i, Q9ii
Q 6 part two a and b.
a)A conjugate in simple words mean that the sign ( that is negative or positive) of the imaginary number (the coefficient of i ) would change.
z= √3 + i
z*= √3 - i
1....things to remember = i = √-1 and thus i^2= -1
2.... if there is a term in i in the denominator and we have to remove it... we multiply the whole term with its conjugate and divide the whole term with its conjugate too.
we need to find
a) 2z +z* = 2(√3 +i) + √3- i
2 √3 +2i + √3 -i
3 √3 + i ...... ans.

b)because the format of the fraction isnt good here i have made u a pic to understand from

c u can do it like this :
separate the 4 and the 10s :-

4^4 x (10^-1 x 10^-2 x 10^-3 x 10^1)
= 256 x 10^-1-2-3+1
= 256 x 10^-5
= 0.00256
=0.002560

don't be confused because of the last zero because it is a trick. it does not actually matter how many zeros we put at the end the answer is still 0.002560

get it?? :)
