Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

Thank you very much for the effort, I appreciate it and will pray for you.

I just realised I had copied the question wrong(taken the x^3 as x^2). lol.

You're welcome

Haha I hate when that happens

 

[iKhaled]

what is the gradient of the curve when it is parallel to the x-axis and also what is the gradient of the curve when it is parallel to the y-axis ?

 

[Esme]

what is the gradient of the curve when it is parallel to the x-axis and also what is the gradient of the curve when it is parallel to the y-axis ?

Parallel to the x-axis is 0.
Parallel to the y-axis is 1/0.

If you ever forget or get confused, take any two points on the axis you want, and find it's gradient.

Hold on.. you mean the tangent to the curve is parallel to the x- or y-axis, right ?

 

[iKhaled]

Hold on.. you mean the tangent to the curve is parallel to the x- or y-axis, right ?

yeah what u said is right because now the question makes sense..thank u!!

 

[Esme]

yeah what u said is right because now the question makes sense..thank u!!

You're welcome. Actually i got confused cuz you said the curve is parallel to the x-axis, which isn't possible. So you probably were talking about the tangent

oh yeah sorry my bad i meant tangent :$

can someone please solve this differential equation..its question 6

Please help me asap. PhyZac Q3 ii) Why do we take for short interval X<a , and for long interval X>a...Why can't we do vice versa.
And also, Q5 a (ii)
Jazak Allah khair!
Cheers!

See..for Q3 ii) check the upload pic to imagine it

for 5 a (ii) syed1995 answered in this post.

question 2 also of the same paper arghhh !!

http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...S Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_w12_qp_31.pdf

This is not technically a permutation question since it won't require the P...

5000 and 6000 .. meaning it's a four digit number which starts with a 5.

so first number is 5.. that's a given.

5 _ _ _

Now since repetition is allowed..

the next 3 numbers can be anything from 1,2,3,4,5,6

meaning it can be 5555 5432 or 5646 .. all are possible.

so 6 choices for all the 3 other spaces..

meaning it becomes

1 * 6 * 6 * 6... = 1*6^3

a bit absurd question it is, but why do u multiply a '1' in there?!
Jazak Allah khair !

nevermind anymore about question 2..i only need question 6 the diff equation

This is an amazing and hell useful website! (guaranteed) So, if anyone of u need help with understanding or anything!! this is it. I assure u. I only used this website to prepare for my AS math...and past papers of course...nothing else...no books! some topics arent covered yet thou. but use whatever u can!! Best of luck!
Jazak Allah khair! Cheers!

nevermind anymore about question 2..i only need question 6 the diff equation

xdy/dx=1-y^2
rearrange so that all the x terms are at one side and y terms at the other.
so.... 1/(1-y^2) dy = 1/x dx
Now integrate both the sides,
$-sign for integration
$ 1/(1-y^2) dy = $1/x dx
P.S (1-y^2) is in the form a^2 - b^2 which is nothing but (a+b)(a-b)(remember??!)
so in order to integrate expressions like $1/a^2 - b^2 = [ 1/2a* ln(a+b/a-b)] (memorise this)
Therefore,
continuing with the integration,
$ 1/(1-y^2) dy = $1/x dx
[1/2*1 * ln(1+y/1-y)] = lnx +K where K is the common constant!
You're given: x=2, y=0
so put those in the eqn:
1/2 * ln (1+0/1-0) = ln2 +K
ln(1) is '0'.
therefore, K+ln2 = 0
K= -ln2 D
Now get the eqn
1/2 * ln(1+y/1-y) =lnx -ln2
1/2 * ln(1+y/1-y) -lnx + ln2 = 0

There u gooo!!
I hope u got it!! it can be easy...if u didnt understand then refer to the website i posted! u'll get it forever stuck in ur mind!!

Cheers!

Well just to make it a bit clearer..

We have 5 to choose from one five... so it will be 1C1 which is 1 for first number.. then we can choose any one number from the 6 numbers.. for each of the next three numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6) since repetition is allowed...



1C1*6C1*6C1*6C1 = 1*6*6*6 = Answer

the key to the 8 marks is all in this point "P.S (1-y^2) is in the form a^2 - b^2 which is nothing but (a+b)(a-b)(remember??!)" -_- thanksss i got it now !!

hahaah...u know that integration technique/point, i found it in some other book....it wasnt there in mine or maybe i did not check...hahah but learn that...i came across a similar question in o/n 2008... this was still simple!!

 

[khoshi]

I am having problem in 9709/62/O/N/09 q7 ii why are we adding the previous probablity it should be subtracted :/ can anyone help please

 

[kiara15]

thaank u so much specially permutation , i had great ambiguity here
