    how was half yearlies???

    let y = x ^ n y' = nx^(n - 1) = 0 if x = 0 :. turning pt at x = 0 at x = 1 y' = n ie. y'>0 :. to have minimum pt, at x = -1, y'<0 at x = -1, y' = n(-1)^(n-1) :. for y'<0, n-1= odd :. n= odd +1 which is even. if n<0 then y'>0 :. x^n has min. turning pt if n is...

    General solution question

    ohhh i fink i get it now its outta the syllabus..from 3 u anyway cos u use affinity's method

    Some Conics Questions

    wahhh that way is sooo much betta.. even tho its still complicated but its a good approach!! its clever how u used sum of roots to get the midpt..its like one of those tricks and short cuts...i didnt get it at first wen i learnt it @ tutoring...

    Some Conics Questions

    when M is midpoint of PQ does that make angle PMT and QMT = 90 degrees?

    Some Conics Questions

    the way i wud do it is like this...but that seems such an algebra bash... find midpt of PQ find eqn of OM use chord of contact to find out coordinates of T sub T into eqn to see if it fits.. this way..u have all the weird algebra or trig..so i dunno if it works cos i didn complete doing...

    Some Conics Questions

    mmm... thats not the way i did it..but i dunno if i did correctly.. let angle PNT = @ PT/PN = tan @ @ = tan^-1 (a tan@/b) since mPN = a tan@/b :. PT/PN = a tan@/b :. (PT/PN)^2 = a^2 tan^2@/ a^2 (1 - e^2) = tan^2@/(1 - e^2) ... thats y i asked if for tan(...

    Some Conics Questions

    q4 was just using the m1 * m2 = -1... answer : - b^2/a^2 for q5 a) was normal subbing into tangent b) i) i used the similar triangle thing so PX/XY became PC/OY where C a point where the vertical line from P cuts the X axis..so the distances became easy to calculate as its just...

    Some Conics Questions

    for 3c instead of using PS/PS' i used PM/PM' which is the same..since PS = e.PM and it shud b easier cos its a horizontal line..

    Some Conics Questions

    hey for q2.. does tan ( tan ^-1 ((a/b) tan @)) = (a/b) tan @ like can u just cancel out the tan..?

    Some Conics Questions

    argh..ill do this tmw or some other time.. eyes getting tired.. oh btw for q3 how do u represent a variable X on a triangle? do u give it co ordinates? or can u prove that they r similar some other way?

    Some Conics Questions

    the way that im approaching q2 so far: PNT is a triangle i made a line thru P that cuts X axis perpendicularly at C then i found NC^2 + PC^2 = PN^2 and similarly CT^2 + PC^2 = PT^2 and then i'm solving PT^2/PN^2 but i get this huge weird algebra.. CM am i on the rite track?

    Some Conics Questions

    keke q1 was from cambridge.. for q2..is there a shortcut or do u have to find PT and PN and expand out?

    More questions from the ends of papers

    for 1 (b) i got up to the part where u used the assumption to make LHS = sin a/ 2^k sin (a/2^k) * cos (a/2^k+1) gimme a hint of wat to do next...like wat does cos (a/2^k+1) equal?

    More questions from the ends of papers

    (a) Provided sin(a / 2) <> 0, show that cos(a / 2) = sin a / 2sin(a / 2) Similarly, show that if sin(a / 2) and sin(a / 4) are both <> 0, cos(a / 2) * cos(a / 4) = sin a / 4sin(a / 4) cos(a/2)=sina/2sin(a/2) RHS = 2sin(a/2)cos(a/2)/2sin(a/2) = cos(a/2) = LHS ............(...
