P is a variable point on the parabola x^2 = 4y. The normal at P meets the parabola again at Q. The tangents at P and Q meets T. S is the focus and QS = 2PS.
(a) Prove that <PSQ = 90
(b) Prove that PQ=PT
Hey everyone, I have a prac test coming up and was wondering what practicals are there in advanced mechanics that I could be tested on. If you have any prac ideas just send them through so I can take a look at them.
a) Determine the roots of z^4 + 1 = 0 in cartesian form. Plot them on an Argand diagram.
b) Write z^4 + 1 in terms of real quadratic factors/
c) Divide by z^2 to show that cos(2x) = (cos(x) - cos(45)(cos(x) - cos(135))
Need help with part (c) thanks
If the polynomial x^3+3ax^2+3bx+c=0 has a double root, show that the double root is (c-ab)/(2(a^2-b)) , given that a^2 doesnt equal to b
Please help Im struggling with this question
