Okay! How do we find the normal of OAB?
when you cross two vectors you get a vector that is perpendicular to both of them...Since OA and OB lie on the same plane their cross will give the vector that is perpendicular to the plane ....
to get it more clearly just try to imagine such stuff in silence with full concentration ...

i would be really grateful if anyone uploads or gives me the link to download the 2001 p3 and p5 paper?

can someone tell me how to find the least/greatest value of arg z or mod z. I have no idea about what these are.

Hi, I want to ask about question 8 (full one, including part ii) in this paper.

How would I go about that? I realize I have to perform a double angle formula in part (i), but I just can't seem to get it right. Any help would be much appreciated!

It was too tedious to type all the workings , so here is the one that I solved :)
And umm.. sorry, it's too light. You might have to zoom in a little.

Thank you! I actually think I will stop solving for now because what I thought I never knew how to solve was a VERY silly identity mistake from my side that messed up the whole question.

Again, thanks a lot!

P.S. You have a great handwriting...

Q10 ii) b) Why do we have to take the square root of z that we've found in a) ? Since they're asking for z^2, shouldn't we square the values of z that we got in the previous bit ?

MustafaMotani ?
Or anyone else ?

aah yu got confuse in functions :) ....
p(z) = z^3 + 6z^2 +24z +32
p(1) = 1^3 + 6(1)^2 +24(1) +32 =63
similarly
p(z^2) = (z^2)^3 + 6(z^2)^2 + 24z^2 + 32 (just replaced z by z^2)
now if yu make substitution x=z^2 to solve the equation ... u shall get the same equation as in part ii)a
x^3 + 6x^2 +24x + 32

now the solutions of this equation (values of x) will be same as that of values of z in previous parts

now z^2 = x
so z = x^(1/2)
ans so we square root all the values of x to get z ....
Hope yu get it .. :)

in 8ii) yu just have to rearrange the equation so that it resembles your equation in question .. ( graph equation)
when you will be don rearranging... yu shall see that in place of "y" u will get 0.5 .. ( u have to try it to get it)

in 9ii) you got the roots in first part .. from those roots yu have to form an quadratic equation
Formula :
x^2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots)
once you got the equation just perform long division and yu shall get another quadratic which will give you another two roots..
