    polynomials

    There's a better way than substituting all the p/q values to find a rational root right? I use my calc for it, but it still takes forever! So is this all about luck? e.g. 2x^3 -1=0 potential roots are +\-1/2, +\-1 but a much longer one

    Parametric equations

    For conics, do you have to remember the actual equations? Or should you derive them yourself in the exam? As in for the tangents and normals. It's like prelim parametrics, only more boring

    Ellipse

    Determine the real values of gamma for which the equation defines an ellipse (terry lee 5.1 q7) \[\frac{x^2}{9-\gamma } +\frac{y^2}{\gamma -4}=1\] I got 4 < gamma < 6.5 Worked solution: 9-#>0 #<9 #-4>0 #>4 Therefore 4<#<9 The way the book did it doesn't seem right...

    Integration!

    \frac{dy}{dx}= 2x \frac{dx}{dy}= 1/2x Therefore x = [log(2x)]/2 ?? The question that involved this \frac{dr}{dt}= \frac{1}{2\pi r^2} \frac{dt}{dr}= 2\pi r^2 t=\frac{2\pi r^3}{3} + C WTF is wrong with my example?
