the last part....can anyone explain it

Step 1 :- Integrate the given equation to find velocity equation
Step 2: - Find when the particle was instantaneously at rest by putting v=0
Step 3 : - Again Integrate The VELOCITY equation to find distance equation
Step 4: - put t=5 and t=4then subtract the s at t=4 from t=5 ans
Step 5: - IF distance at 5 is less than 4, then put the instantaneous time to find the turning point (max. distance) of particle then subtract d at 5 from the distance that come
Step 6: - Now Subtract t=4 From t=5 (from step 5) to get answer :) - I HOPE NO MISTAKES ARE MADE

HELP ME WITH THIS
ABCDFEFGH is a regular octagon and AB = p and BC = q ; Express AH in terms of p and q and show that
AE + BH + CG + DF = 2(2+2)(q - √2p)

PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION !!!
IF out of N points M are collinear, then what is the number of straight lines which could be drawn ????
With the answer, please give a short explanation too!!

u have a diagram?...and these are vectors right?...but need to show the figure, cause we cant know which is BC and AB and what are there directions, are they in opposite direction?

Saad Mughal. Finally this thread is our and there will be no one ask, "is it maths question?"
I have solved it but it was a very time taking question. Tell me if there is a better way to solve it.

How did you do this?
I did this by,
-(x-1)(x-2)(x-k) = 0
Simplifying,
-x^3 + (3+k)x^2 - (3k+2)x + 2k = 0,
Then just use the remainder.
I completed it in 5 minutes. These questions take these long always.

How u got here: -(x-1)(x-2)(x-k) = 0 these all are factors of a polynomial so does it mean that their product will be zero?

Yes it will.
When you factorize x^2-4x-12 = 0
You write in the form, (x-4)(x+2) = 0,
Similarly, you can do this here.

I still don't get it why it will equal to zero. :'(
If u factorial any polynomial it doesn't mean it will equal to zero unless it is itself equal to zero. Or if u out such a value in it that makes it equal to zero.

Look, by (x-1)(x-2)(x-k) = 0,
It means that,
x=1
x=2
x=k
Respectively, if you get this, then, you can change it back.
x-1 = 0
x-2 = 0
x-k = 0
These three are zero so their multiples will also be 0.
So, (x-1)(x-2)(x-k) = 0
These are kinda the basics of algebraic factorization that we learned in maths.

But who told you that (x-1) is equal to zero?

Obviously when x=1,
x-1 = 0
Just subtract one from both sides,
Since 1 is a factor of the polynomial, it means that x=1, further, x-1 = 0, x-2=0, x-k=0.
Since, y=f(x)=0, you can easily say (x-1)(x-2)(x-k)=0.

Can someone share with me notes on Permutation and combinations and also explain it in detail if possible?
