like this?

$\frac{sin4x}{sinx} = \frac{sin(x+x+x+x)}{sinx} = \frac{sinx+sinx+sinx+sinx}{sinx} = \frac{1+1+1+1}{1}$

$=4$

I'm still laughing

$a) How many ways can you arrange the word CARROT, if the letters R and A must be together$

$b) By considering the scenario of separating$ \ n \ $people into 2 groups, in 2 different ways show that$

$\binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1} + \dots + \binom{n}{n} =2^n$

$c) A particle is moving in Simple Harmonic Motion, show that the function for displacement over time for this motion is trigonometric$

$$d)$ \ \ \int_{-1}^{1} \sin^{-1} x + \cos^{-1} x + \tan^{-1}x \ dx$

$$e) A projectile is fired onto an inclined plane from the start of the plane$

$the plane is inclined at angle$ \ \ \alpha \ \ $show that the angle of projection must be$

$\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\alpha}{2} \ \ $in order to yield maximum range up the plane$$

$f) Consider a parabola, a light beam is shone above the parabola that is parallel$

$to the parabola's axis, it hits the parabola is reflected off, show that this beam travels through the focus$

$g) Prove the Binomial theorem by Mathematical Induction$

$h) By using the Binomial Theorem, prove$

$= \frac{1}{2} \binom{n}{r} \left( \binom{n}{r} - 1 \right)$

$i) Ten equal circular discs can be placed tightly within a frame in the form of an equilateral triangle. Nine of them touch the frame; the tenth, in the centre touches six of the other discs. If the internal sides of the frame are each of equal length measure R, express the radius of each circular discs in terms of R, and show that the outside perimeter of the figure which remains when the frame is removed is$

$\frac{11}{12} (3- \sqrt{3}) \pi R$

$j) Find the general solutions to$

$\sin 2x + \sin 4x = \sin 3x$

$k) Find the values of$ \ x \ $for which the inequalities are simultaneously satisfied$

$x + \frac{1}{|x|} > 0$

$x^2-x-2 < 0$

$l) Prove that the acute angle$ \ \theta \ \ $between two lines of gradient$ \ \ m_1 \ \ $and$ \ \ m_2 \ \ $is given by$

$\tan \theta = \left|\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1+ m_1 m_2} \right|$

$$m) Approximate$ \ \ \sqrt[3]{2}$

$$n) Consider the fixed point$ \ \ A(1,1) \ \ $and the line$ \ \ y=-x$

That's not the displacement time equation.

Displacement time equation doesn't need to be t with respect to x. It can be x with respect to t, which is often easier to find.

yeah i know, but the velocity was in terms of displacement, so i had to find t in terms of x

I don't remember getting such an expression.

Anyway, good luck for tomorrow!

$Temperature and the period of a pendulum For oscillations of small amplitude (short swings), we may safely model the relationship between the period $ T $ and the length $ L $ of a simple pendulum with the equation:$

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

$$where g is the constant acceleration of gravity at the pendulum's location. If we measure $g$ in centimeters per second squared, we measure $L$ in centimeters and $T$ in seconds. If the pendulum is made of metal, its length will vary with temperature, either increasing or decreasing at a rate that is roughly proportional to $L$. In symbols, with $u$ being temperature and $k$ the proportionality constant,$

$\frac{dL}{du}=kL.$

$$Assuming this to be the case, show that the rate at which the period changes with respect to temperature is $kT/2.$

$$The parabola $ P(x) = Ax^2+Bx+C $ is used to approximate the area under the curve of $ y = f(x), $ which is difficult to integrate, from $ x=-h $ to $ x=h.\\ $i) Find the area under the curve $ y=P(x) $ from $ -h $ to $ h $ in terms of $ A, B $ and $ C. \\ $ii) Show, with all working, that this area can be expressed as $ \dfrac{h}{3}\left( y_0 +4y_1+y_2\right). \\ $iii) Compare this method of approximating areas to the trapezoidal method and comment on when either would be more useful than the other. Give examples to support your answers.$
