    Help with random 3U questions!

    ii ) I will use algebraic method in approaching this question 1. you can make two equations y = tx + t y^2 + x^2 = 1 Hence solving simultaneously x = (1-t^2)/(1+t^2) hence subing this to linear equation y = (2t/(1+t^2)) iii) hence tan (A) = y/x = (2t/(1-t^2)) iv) using circle...

    Help with random 3U questions!

    2 i) with this question draw a diagram to assist you in understanding the question Note that the line should intersect the circle in the FIRST QUANDRANT ie maximum t = when P lies on (0,1) hence 0 < t < 1 (greater or equal sign)

    Help with random 3U questions!

    Q1 (a+b)^n + (a-b)^n note that their is (-) sign hence if you put them in general form you should see that every second tern ie for r= odd, the term cancels each other. Whereas for r= even ,they add up Hence = 2 (C0 a^n + C2 a^(n-2)b^2 + C4 a^(n-4) b^4 + ..... ) the last tern depends on...

    2) note that 5^3 = 125 5^2 = 25 hence log(125) + log(25) + log(5) = 6log 5

    Difficult general solution

    General solution. You can refer to your 3u textbook Youknow about A S T C right?? First if cos(x) =cos a For example cos x = .5 = cos60 Hence x= 60, 360-60, 360+ 60, 360 + (360-60),.... Hence similarly x = a, 360-a, 360+a, 720-a ... X= 2pi*k +or - a

    Polynomial query

    roots are integers, let the roots be (a,b,c,d) since a*b*c*d = 1 hence roots are 1,1,1,1 or -1-1,1,1 or -1,-1,-1,-1 -k = 1+1+1+1, -1+-1+1+1 or -1+-1+-1+-1 hence k = +4,-4 or 0?

    perms and combs Q

    the working is : firstly you have to know that any number is divisble by 3 if all digits sum to be divisble by 3 ie (12132) is divisble by 3 because 1+2+1+3+2 = 9 divisble by 3. Now by T AND E for 4 digit values (3,1,8,9) , and (3,5,1,9) their sums are divisble by 3 the numbers are less...
