oops sorry i guess i was too late to answer ur question..u already got it -_-
da/dt = KV
da/dt = k(4/3πr^3)
da/dt = 4/3πkr^3

A=4πr^2 V = 4/3πr^3

da/dr = 8πr dv/dr = 4πr^3

dr/dt = dr/da x da/dt
dr/dt = (1/8πr) x 4/3πkr^3 substitute r and dr/dt to find K then u will end up with the given equation

did u get it ?
u givin p3 this may?

cant do 10iii iKhaled
we have r = 5/ 1-0.4t

find t when the denomerator is equal to 0 so 1-0.4t = 0 t = 2.5 now any value higher than 2.5 will give u a negative value and we cant have radius in negative so the maximum value of t is just below 2.5 and the lowest one is t = 0 so 0 < t < 2.5​

sin 3x + 2cos 3x = 0

divid the equation by cos x and u will get tan 3x +2 = 0
tan 3x = -2
3x = -64.3 and 116.5
x= 158.9 and 38.9 but i have no idea how the mark scheme got 98.9 as one of x values sorry :/
Thanks :) I tried using the same method in a different way. This is what I did.. hope it'll help you:

tan 3x = -2
Let 3x = x,
tan x = -2
(Ignoring negative); x = tan-1 (2)
x = 63.435

2nd quadrant:
180 - 63.435 = 116.565
3x = 116.565
x = 38.8

4th quadrant:
360 - 63.435 = 296.565
3x = 296.565
x = 98.8

2nd revolution:
360 + 116.565 = 476.565
3x = 476.565
x = 158.8
Angles => 38.8, 98.8, 158.8

I was going through this again and failed to understand something.. does it matter where the curve cuts the x-axis in the final shape? Like in your case, it cuts slightly after π/2..

According to the ms, no. But it would make your graph more accurate I guess.... and it's very simple, just replace y=0 and solve the eqn.

this is so very easy.. al you have to kp in mind that the gradient of tangent is also gradient og curve at aprticular point they meet. curve =9/2x+3
differentiate you will get -9/ (2x+3)^2
since its tangent at A x=3
-9 /( 81)
grad = -1/9
now u make an equation with coords 3,1 and grad = -1/9
then u get eq of line 9y= -x+12
notice that C lies on this line... hence to take out coords of C put x=0 as it lies on the y axis
u will get points (0, 4/3)
now take distance of C (0, 4/3) and O ( 0, 0)
and distance C(0, 4/3) and B (0, 3)
the lesser the distance the closer the points are...
the formula of distance is root of (((x1-x2)^2 +(y1- y2)^2))

Well, I usually pay attention to x-axis, and as PANDA- said, easily by replacing y=0, the thing is, i forgot to do that when I replied to you.
To be safe side, do consider the x-axis.
