More Questions :D !!!
1) If 2^(2p).3^(p) = 12^(x), find p in terms of x and hence find p such that 2^(2p).3^(p)=144
2) If sinA = 2sinB and tanA = 3tanB, find A and B to the nearest degree, given that A and B are acute angles
Have fun!
That's why past papers are the key to success :D.
You've seen the question now. If you see a similar question in an exam, you've increased your chances to solve it by at least 60%.
Wow! Very nice Drongoski. Very creative how you used logs.
But here is an alternative solution:
Let 2^x = 5^y = 10^z = A
Then: 2 = A^(1/x) , 5 = A^(1/y) , 10 = A(1/z)
Now, 10 = 2 x 5.
.'. A(1/z) = A^(1/x) x A^(1/y) = A^(1/x + 1/y)
Now, all the "front values" are the same.
So: 1/z = 1/x +...
Bahahah! Funny picture. However, I think Stephen Hawking does believe in a GOD, but not a PERSONAL GOD.
I have his book right here next to me: "God Created The Integers - Stephen Hawking"-.
HAHAHAH! OMGGGGGG! thats soo funny.
i remember looking at the screen and saying...wait..why are my sin and cos the other way around. Then i just switched em around.
Good Q. >.< I would so lose a mark there.
Looks to easy =/...
Um....If we express it in mod arg form we get --> 1cis(pi/3).
Now..according to De Moivre [1cis([i/3)]^8 = 1^8cis(8pi/3).
But this doesn't lie number the principle argument.
So if we play around..it becomes --> 1^8cis(5pi/3).
This furthermore gives:
cos5pi/3+isin5pi/3.
We...
A clue for the second question.
NOTE: Does not require logs. It's just a harder application of your normal algebra.
If 2^x = 5^y = 10^z, show that z = xy/x+y
2x5 = 10. Hopefully that gets you somewhere.
omg omg tell me how. lol. i wanted to see working out, so i could kno how to do it.
explain plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
+ how u got the centre.
they're both right btw.
The values you have given me, EXACTLY MATCH: y=10sec(theta/2)
So, you are looking at the wrong question (:.
However, make sure you understand the concepts that I explained in my previous posts (y)
