i see, could you explain how you got the constant 1 plsFor the first question, a PDF has 2 criteria: f(x) is greater or equal than 0 for all x and that the area under the curve is 1. The first one is quite evident from the graph. The second criteria just requires the area under the triangle, which is 1/2 x 4 x 1/2 = 1, as needed. For piecewise function, consider 2 parts of the graph, i.e the 2 lines.
You could have something like for x in between and including 0 and 2, the equation is y = x/4, and for x in between 2 and 4 (inclusive of 4), an equation like y = -x/4 + 1
thank youuuuuu!! <3For the second question, part 1, I've attached the answer (because I can't type it out)View attachment 32423
As all the possible probabilities summed up add up to 1, that's how you get the constant 1. In terms of the diagram, it's just finding the area under the graph. As it's a triangle, you just go bh/2 (where b = base = 4, h = height = 1/2), then you just sub it ini see, could you explain how you got the constant 1 pls
Oh, I didn't realise the double sin angle result wasn't in the Advanced syllabus. I just couldn't see another way to go about it without using that.Note that, in @icycledough's solution, the result
is used, and it isn't in the Advanced syllabus, only in MX1.
However, you can add in the bisector of the angle , which will also perpendicularly bisect the chord (104 m) to give a right-angled triangle in which
This also saves the need to use the Sine Rule or to recognise that
Circle Geometry, no... but radians and trigonometry, yes... and it's only trig and triangle geometry that you need.is circle geo in adv? the second question there?
