A curve is defined by the parametric equations x = 3^(-t) + 1, y = 2 x 2^(t). Show that dy\dx = -2 x 3^(2t).

Write 3^(t) as an expression involving x : We can rewrite x = 3^(-t) + 1 as x - 1 = 3^(-t) ; equivalently, 3^(t) = (x-1)^(-1). Substitute this expression into y, to write y in terms of x: y = 2 x 3^(t) = ...

root3 (root6 + root12) can be written as Aroot2 + B

root3 (root6 + root12) (root3 * root6 ) + (root3 +root12) = root18 + root36= (root9 + root2) + 6= 3root2 +6a= 3 b = 6

Write down the expansion of (cosx + isinx)^3. Hence, by using De Moivre's theorem, find cos3x in terms of powers of cosx.

First, we expand by using binomial expansion (it is always helpful to draw Pascal's triangle to find each term's coefficients): 1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
Since the function is raised to the...

v^2 = u^2 + 2as u = 12 a = –3 s = 18 (a) Work out a value of v. (b) Make s the subject of v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = 12^2+2(-3)(18) = 36. Therefore by square rooting v = 6.To make s the subject first minus u^2 from both sides to have v^2 -u^2 = 2as then divide 2a from both sides to have (v^2-u^2)/2a = s
