Anyone here knows about any software I can use to solve math papers and prepare soft copies...? I have been using ms word for it lately but it takes oh so much time :/
I need something super time saving. Also, with all the required symbols and stuff.

in (i), I take the left-hand side and apply double-angle identity for cos, but what follows?...confused
LHS

= cos(4x) + 4cos(2x)

= 2cos^2(2x) - 1 + 4*(2cos^2(x) - 1)

= 2cos^2(2x) - 1 + 4*(2cos^2(x) - 1)

= 2 *(cos(2x))^2 - 1 + 8cos^2(x) - 4

= 2*(2cos^2(x) - 1)^2 - 1 + 8cos^2(x) - 4

= 2*(4cos^4(x) - 4cos^2(x) + 1) - 1 + 8cos^2(x) - 4

= 8cos^4(x) - 8cos^2(x) + 2 - 1 + 8cos^2(x) - 4

= 8cos^4(x) - 3

I think it would be better to write also the question number and from which year it is being taken. Nevertheless against a payment of 10 USD, you can have access to all detailed worked solutions from June 2005 to November 2015 for Maths Main 9709.

The time at which the two particles collide is T. So the distance covered by particle Q during this time, T can be calculated using:
s = v * t (this formula is applicable since the speed of particle Q is constant)
substitute the values to find the distance covered by Q during this time:
s = 0.75 * T = 0.75T

the total distance between A & B is 10. So if the distance covered by particle Q before it collides is 0.75T, so the distance covered by particle P during this time will be :
10-0.75T

Now use the equation of motion: s = ut + 1/2at^2 to find the distance covered by P (which is having uniform acceleration) during this time T and put it equal to 10-0.75T. Finally equate and find T.

10-0.75T = (0)(T) + 0.5(0.5)(T^2)
10-0.75T = 0.25T^2
Solve and you'll get:
either
T = 5 or T = -8(ignored)

Hence T = 5s.

(b) the speed of P immediately before collision can be found using the equation of motion ( v^2 = u^2 + 2as )
The P starts from rest, so u = 0, distance covered in 5s is: 0.25(5^2) = 6.25, and acceleration is 0.5ms^-2.
Put these values in to the equation and solve to find v (the velocity just before the collision)

v ^2 = 2 ( 0.5 ) * ( 6.25)
v = 2.5 ms^-1 <--- the speed just before collision.

Hi....I need to integrate tan 2x.
I'm confused as why i need to convert it to sin 2x/cos 2x first.
Can't I just do: (sec^2 2x)/2 + c
(The answer is -0.5 ln cos 2x +c)
Help please?

you should know differentiation of tan x = sec^2x not integration. Integration of tan x = - ln |cosx|

use reverse chain rule to get the integral of tanx :)

good luck ;)
