    4 unit assessment

    i can barely understand what your asking in q.3 but if u let x1 = x2 =...=xn = x then LHS = sin(nx) = RHS = a1sinx + a2sinx +...+ansinx = (a1 + a2 +a3... + an)sinx however that is only smaller than nsinx if a1,a2 etc is smaller than 1 ----- and for your q2 i again dont...

    for q1. its not asking to find cos5x in terms of sinx its asking for solutions of x use the general formula i.e sinx = cos5x -------------------1 5x = 2nπ ± cos (sinx) --------------------2 = 2nπ ± ( 1 - x ) and simplify

    thankyou so theres no case when you use the negative squareroot right?

    trig substitution for integration

    but going from root(cos^2 θ) to cosθ is what troubles me for example since you are saying root(cos^2 θ) = cosθ if you let θ = 180 then RHS = 1 LHS = -1 thats what bugs me which i still cant explain.

    trig substitution for integration

    hi, my thinking has got me a little confused. say you need to integrate root(4 - x^2) then i let x = 2sinθ , dx = 2cosθ dθ but when i simplify 2 x root(1 - sin^2 θ) , how do i know whether to put cosθ or -cosθ ??? i cant figure out the domain restrictions or whatever you need to...

    drawing sqrt(f(x))

    no note really. especially when ur just given the sketch of a function f(x) and not told the actual function. if you are given a function, dont draw inflexions initially but you should check if you have time

    homogenous eqns

    hi still not quite 100% on this one.. altho ur second method was good thanks how is dividing each term , different to dividing both sides? if u have x^2 - x = 0 then you go x(x-1) = 0 so x = 0,1 hows this different from --------------------2 2sinxcosx - 3sin x = 0 then...

    homogenous eqns

    yeh i mean from the eqn --------------------2 2sinxcosx - 3sin x = 0 -----------------------------------------2 how can u just divide that by cos x shouldnt u factorise it out so that --------------------2--------2--------2 2sinxcosx - 3sin x = cos x( 3 tan x - 2 tan x) = 0 and that wld...

    Hi just one query To solve sin2x + cos2x = (sinx)^2 + 1 the book teaches to expand to -------------------2--------2---------2---------2----------2 2sinxcosx + cos x - sin x = sin x + sin x + cos x --------------------2 2sinxcosx - 3sin x = 0 ---------------------------2 then DIVIDING by...

    Past paper question..

    cld some1 do this one: two satellites have altitudes of 400 and 4000km respectively. Take R to be the avg radius of orbit and T as the period for one orbit. The ratio (R^3/T^3) of the first satellite compared to the second one is...? all i can gather is r^3/t^2 is constant. ---- also...
