How do I remember the common values of cosx, sinx and tanx?

To remeber the equations us SOH CAH TOA. This is Sinx = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos x = Adjacent/Hypotenuse and Tanx = Opposite/Adjacent. For values x=pi/3 and x=pi/6 always start by drawing an equilateral o...

Let y be a function of x such that y=x^3 + (3/2)x^2-6x and y = f(x) . Find the coordinates of the stationary points .

y = x3 + 1.5x-6x Hence, dy/dx = 3x2 + 3x - 6 Solve to find x when dy/dx = 0 as gradient is zero at stationary points Substitute the vaules for x back into y to find y co...

Two forces P and Q act on a particle. The force P has magnitude 7 N and acts due north. The resultant of P and Q is a force of magnitude 10 N acting in a direction with bearing 120°. Find the magnitude of Q and the bearing of Q.

There are 2 methods to solving this- the visual method and the kinesthetic method. Here I will use the visual one. We start by creating a vector triangle. We are going to use R = P + Q, where R is the res...

A particle is moving in the with acceleration (2t - 3) ms^-2 and initial velocity 2ms^-1. Find the distance travelled when the velocity has reached 12ms^-1.

(1.) Integrate the expression for acceleration to find an expression for velocity: Velocity v = t^2 - 3t + c        When t = 0, velocity = 2. Substituting in to find constant c, 2 = 0 + 0  + c therefore c...

Differentiate the following function u = Cos(x3)

 u = Cos(x3)

To differentiate this function we will use the chain rule. Firstly we will set xto another variable name such as v. So now v = x3 . Lets differentia...
