    Maths problems

    Re: deriving really annoying maths problem f'(x) = (3x-4)1/2 + 3*1/2*x(3x-4)-1/2 ----- using product rule and function of a function rule = (3x-4)-1/2(3x-4 + 3x/2) ---- factorised out (3x-4)-1/2 = (9x-8)/2(3x-4)1/2 ---- cleaned up to form fraction with positive powers f''(x) =...

    proving trig identity problem

    LHS = (2sinAcosA + sin2A + cos2A)/(cos2A-sin2A) ------ rewrite double angle formulae and recognise 1 as the fundamental identity = (sinA+cosA)2/[(cosA-sinA)(cosA+sinA)] ------- recognise numerator as perfect square and denominator as difference of two squares = (cosA + sinA)/(cosA - sinA)...

    analysing scores

    First of all, key signature tells you the tonality. Look for the sharps and flats which then correspond to a certain scale e.g. C major/A minor has no sharps and flats. Next look at the time signature to work out the metre. C is common time which is 4/4. Then you go into the details with the...

    Please Help Me Solve!!!2

    Since it's multiplication and division you can treat each bit like seperate fractions mulitplied together (this will become clearer below). i.e. 23/26 * n7(n-6)-1/n-3 Hopefully it is clearer how you rearrange now. 1/23 (index law of am/an = am-n)* n7*n3/(n-6) (move negative power in...

    I don't have enough units!

    You can't pick up a subject you didn't do in year 11 unless it is extension of another subject OR senior science like you said. So you can either convince them you can handle extension 2 maths or pick senior science (if you are certain you're dropping chemistry and english fundamentals)...
