How would you work out the equation of the normal at a point (2,5) given the equation of a line?

You are given the equation of a line in the form of y=mx+c. From this, you know that 'm' represents the gradient, which can also be represented as dy/dx. We now need to work out the gradient of the normal...

How to find the angle between two 3-dimensional vectors:

The formula to find the cosine of the angle is: cosA= u.v/|u|x|v|; 1.u.v means that you multiply the x coordinates together, then the y coordinates and the z coordinates,...

log3 (9y + b) – log3 (2y – b) = 2, Find y in terms of b.

Use laws of logarithms to simplify.Log3((9y+b)/(2y-b)) = 2(9y+b)/(2y-b) = 32(9y+b) = 9(2y-b)9y+b = 18y-9bCollect terms.9y = 10by = 10b/9

The tangent to a point P (p, pi/2) on the curve x=(4y-sin2y)^2 hits the y axis at point A, find the coordinates of this point.

p=4pi2 differentiating with respect to y we have dx/dy = 2(4y-sin2y)(4-2cos2y) substituting in the value of y =pi/2 we have dx/dy = 24pi, which means dy/dx =1/pi24using (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) we have...

The parametric equations of a curve are: x = cos2θ y = sinθcosθ. Find the cartesian form of the equation.

x = cos2θ  y = sinθcosθcos2θ = cos2 θ  - sin2θ cos2 θ  + sin2θ  = 12cos2 θ  = 1 + cos2θ cos2 θ  = 1/2(1 + x)2sin2θ  = 1 - cos...
