For questions like area under the graph or volume of revolution, do we need to re-draw the diagram given on the question paper onto our answer script?

Thank You!

Nope. We do not have to draw anything until specified in question paper.

Thank You!

Can anyone help me with...
parts ii), iii) and v)
the answers are...
ii) 2(80-x)=160-t^2
iii)0<t<4
v)60m

q(7)(i)

 

[Maayee]

solving left hand side,
open up the bracket which gives u... cos^2x+6sinxcosx+9sin^2x

use the identity sin2x=2sinxcosx
so u need to get 6sinxcosx so multilpy it by 3... 3sin2x=6cosxsinx

equation becomes cos^2x+3sin2x+9sin^2x
so simplifying it further cos^2x+3sin2x+9(1-cos^2x)
cos^2x+3sin2x+9-9cos^2x
-8cos^2x+9+3sin2x

if u look at 5-4cos2x....its basically the same as -8cos^2x+9 when u simplify it so replace it with that...
thus 5-4cos2x+3sin2x proven

u need to show them how u converted the 5-4cos2x into -8cos^2x+9

Can someone please show me how to do this ?

Can someone please sketch the diagram for (b)(i) please?
So I know the first one is a circle with centre 2+i and radius 1
Now the second equation i solved
(x+iy+i)<(x+iy-2)
this gives
y>2x-1.5
So i drew a line like so...
Is it correct as the ms says this :

How do you find the least value of |z-w| ?

 

[nehaoscar]

How do you find the least value of |z-w| ?

Least value is the distance D-C
so find AC by using sine rule
AC = 3root2/2
DC = AC - 1
Since the radius of circle is 1
So DC = (3root2/2)-1 = 1.12

Can you please show it in a diagram ?

Red is y=x
Blue is y=(1/root3)x +2

I mean the argand diagram if you can please ?

 

[nehaoscar]

I mean the argand diagram if you can please ?

That is the same as the argand diagram ... y corresponds to imaginary axis and x corresponds to real axis

Can you please show how to obtain the answers using trigonometry on the diagram ?

 

[nehaoscar]

Can you please show how to obtain the answers using trigonometry on the diagram ?

Magnifying the triangle we can find the angles and use the sine rule
The argument of blue line is given in question as pi/6
red is y=x hence the argument is pi/4
Knowing these 2 angles you can find the other angles
We know the blue line cuts the imaginary axis at 2 (when we solved the equation above) so the length will be 2
Now apply the sine rule as x = [2/sin(pi/2)] * [sin(2pi/3)]

 

[Konstantino Nikolas]

acosθ + bsinθ = rsin(θ+α) or rsin(θ-α) or rcos(θ+α) or rcos(θ-α)

How do I know when to use what? :O
