Consider f (x) = logk (6x - 3x 2 ), for 0 < x < 2, where k > 0. The equation f (x) = 2 has exactly one solution. What is the value of k?

There are two essential tricks to grasp in this question. Firstly, since the equation has only one solution, the Discriminant that will be required would equal 0. Secondly, since we are given f(x) = 2 we ...

A cannon at ground level is firing at a fort 200m away with 20m high walls. It aims at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal and fires cannonballs at 50m/s. Assuming no air resistance, will the cannonballs fall short, hit the walls or enter the fort?

solving horizontally, use v=s/t, where s=200, v=25(3)1/2. Hence t=s/v=8/(3)1/2 (where t is the time when the ball would reach the fort if it does not reach the ground)Solivng vertica...

Use Integration by parts to find ∫ xsin3x dx

∫ xsin3x dx takes the form of any integral ∫ (u)(dv/dx) dx.
∫ (u)(dv/dx) dx = uv - ∫ (v)(du/dx) dx
Taking u=x and dv/dx= sin3x. The equation can be re-written in the form uv - ∫ (v)(du/dx) dx....
