7)b)i)

Can anyone please explain I don't understand the method in the marking scheme and why don't we use -1<.......<1?
for 1/3 tan^2 x to be convergent,
it should be less then 1 n as x is greater then zero then it should be greater then zero,so this implies
0<1/3 tan^2 x<3
now make x subject
multiply through out by 3 then take square root through out n then tan inverse
this will give u the answer.
if still not clear,dont hesitate to ask :)

Question 10) i ii iii, with some brief explanations. i'd like to see part i on paper if you guys can , thanks.

Question 1) Explain, I read the answers but i don't get why

2x^2− 12x + 13 We have to do complete square method.

10i)

so, 2(x^2 -6x) +13

2(x-3)^2+13

2(x^2-6x+9) +13

2x^2-12x+18 (to remove 18 subtract it from 18 and add 13)

2(x-3)^2 -5 hence, a = 2 b = -3 and c = -5 :)


10ii)

graph has line of symmetry on x = 3 so you'll think that A should be 3, but see 2 is out the bracket so multiply it with 3 you get A as 6 :)


10iii)

from eqn 2(x-3)^2 - 5 put x values as zero and 6, you get range is -5 to 13 :)
