for question 9(ii)

u have the found 2 roots = 1-√2i and 1+√2i
so the 2 factors of the polynomial that has been found are (u-(1-√2i)) and (u-(1+√2i)) if u multiply these factors together u will get a quadratic equation of u^2-2u+3 now u have the polynomial equation as u^4 + u^2 + 2u + 6....u or x it doesnt matter they are all letters after all :p anyway apply long division or whatever way u have learnt to find the other quadratic equation..then from that other equation u will find the other 2 roots then boom u have 4 roots found ;)
Hey thanksss.... What about other questions? can u solve them please?:D

Q5ii) How do we do these type of questions ? There others like this.. eg find the value of y as x becomes very large..

from part i) u would have got
y = 70 e^(e^(-3t) -1)

p = mass at time t / initial mass x 100
p = 70 e^(e^(-3t) -1) / 70 x 100
p = e^(e^(-3t)-1)) x 100


now if yu see if t becomes very large the expression e^(-3t) would approach zero .
look at it this way
e^(-3t) = 1/e^(3t)
see if denominator becomes very large the fraction becomes too small i.e. it approaches zero.
thus if e^(-3t) aproaches zero then e^(-3t)-1 approaches -1
thus e^(e^(-3t)-1) approaches e^(-1)

so p = e^(-1) x 100

take yur time reading this post..

Aoa wr wb

Can someone please tell me, how do we know whether we have to use
5 rather than 4.5 etc for these sort of qns?

Thank you.

I'm not able to solve a single question of vectors and argand diagram..I'm screwed.i'm so messed up. I'm crying. :cry: Don't know what to do. Plz help me. :cry:

Plz Can U Help Me With q6 (i) Part And Q 9 First How To Solve Them Realy Confused Of This Paper..

bro i did Q6(i) but its too long and too complicated for me to type in the post ...

i shall give u little starting point

tan(2x+x) = (tan2x + tanx)/ (1 - tan(2x)tan(x)) = k tanx


i then substituted tan2x = (2tanx)/ (1-tan^2(x))

and after doing some algebraic i got the answer

in Question
9i) just equate both the equations

equation of l : r1 = (3-λ)i + (-2+2λ)j + (1+λ)k
equation of m : r2 = (4 +µa)i + (4 +µb)j + (2-µ)k

since they intersect r1 = r2
(3-λ)i + (-2+2λ)j + (1+λ)k = (4 +µa)i + (4 +µb)j + (2-µ)k
compare the coeficients
and after some substitutions u shall get the desired result .

ii) since they are perpendicular ... dot the direction vector of both the lines and equate it to zero ..
u shall get another eqution with a and b . Solve them simultaneously to get values of a and b.

iii) easiest.. when you got values of a and b ... u would have got some equations in terms of a and b for λ and µ in part (i)
calculate either λ or µ and then substitute that value in either equation of l or m respectively ...

its difficult to understand by reading .. just do it to get it :)

These might help, but do as many past paper questions on these topics as you can.
And most importantly pray to Allah, insha'Allah you will get it. :)
