    Rates of Change

    dy/dx = dy/dt . dt/dx since dy/dx = 3x^2 +1 so 3x^2 + 1 = dy/dt.dt/dx move to other side: dy/dt = (3x^2 + 1). dx/dt

    Complex number question. z+1/z?

    using part b and divide both sides by z^3. so it becomes : z^3 + 1/Z^3 +1 = (z+1/z -2cos2pi/9)(z+1/z-2cos4pi/9)(z+1/z - cos8pi/9) take out 8 from the right hand side and equate the real parts

    Parabola as a locus - questions

    4a. y = (x-2)(x-2) - factorise y = (x-2)^2 This is in the form (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k), where a = 1/4 vertex: (2,0) focus: (2, 1/4) directrix: y = -1/4 and the axis is the y axis b) complete the square: y = (x+3)^2 - 3 y+3 = (x+3)^2...

    Parabola as a locus - questions

    1. half of the span is 16cm being 10cm high. Therefore let that point be on the parabola P(16,10). let the focus be S(0,a) and the directrix be y= -a we know that the distance from the focus to any point on the parabola equals to its distance to the directrix. draw this info and we know...

    complex...

    hey, can you guys help me out with these questions? 1. Determine the locus of the complex number z given arg (z-2) = arg ( z+2) + pi/4 . Sketch the locus on argand diagram 2. If q is real and z = (3+iq)/(3-iq) show that q varies the point in the complex plane which represents z lies on a...

    derivative questions...

    1. a) Show that the tangent to P: y = ax^2 +bx + c with gradient m has y-intercept c - (m-b)^2/4a b) Hence find the equations of any quadratics that pass through the origin and are tangent to both y= -2x - 4 and to y = 8x -49 c) Find also any quadratics that are tangent to y=-5x-10, to y=...
