    Integration

    Assuming suggested answer is correct, here's my effort: \int \frac{1} {\sqrt{u^2 - a^2}}du = ln (u + \sqrt {u^2 - a^2}) + C \\ \\ sin 2x = 2sinxcosx = (sin x + cos x)^2 - 1 \\ \\ -d(sin x + cos x) = (cos x - sin x)dx \\ \\ \therefore I = \int \frac {sin x - cos x}{\sqrt {sin 2x}} dx = -\int...

    Is this a possible answer?? -ln[(sin x + cos x) + \sqrt{(sin x + cos x)^2 - 1}] + C

    Complex Question

    Another way to look at it: \frac{49\pi}{30} = 2\pi - \frac{11\pi}{30} $ and $ \frac {41\pi}{30} = \pi + \frac {11\pi}{30}\\ \\ So: sin \frac {49\pi}{30} $ and $ sin \frac {41\pi}{30} have the same related angles (11pi/30) and they are both negative, being in the 3rd & 4th quadrants resp...

    trig inequality

    \therefore tan^2x + tan x -6 < 0\\ \\ \therefore (tan x + 3)(tan x - 2) < 0 \\ \\ \therefore -3 < tan x < 2

    Uni maths textbooks/resources?

    Yes. Walter Rudin was a popular textbook or reference for Analysis in the 1960s and 1970s. Schaum Series was very popular in those days and I've a good dozen plus volumes on my shelves.

    Differentiation

    Is calculator in degree or radian mode? Maybe this is irrelevant.

    Differentiation

    7500 is only a simple constant multiple; so product rule not required. That is: \frac{d(7500h(t))}{dt} = 7500\frac {dh(t)}{dt}

    Differentiation

    \therefore \frac {dg(t)}{dt} = g(t) \times \frac {d(0.02t + 0.5cos(...))}{dt} \\ \\ =g(t)\times (0.02 - 0.05sin(...) \times \frac{\pi}{6})\\ \\ = 7500(0.02 - \frac{\pi}{12}sin(\frac{\pi}{6}t-4\pi))e^{0.02t + 0.5cos(\frac{\pi}{6}t - 4\pi)}

    Should I drop to standard math?

    What if dumbcurry were mentally deficient, or has a wobbly foundation in basic maths. Do you think, in this case, he'll be able to pick up a copy of Cambridge and do as you suggested? That approach may suit somebody bright like you. But we just don't know much about dumbcurry. Appropriate advice...

    Should I drop to standard math?

    If you decide you want to change to Standard, then it's best you do so ASAP.

    Should I drop to standard math?

    dumbcurry: maybe you need good guidance. You may have worked hard; but if you have been approaching it the wrong way, you'd not do well. No guarantee you will do well in Standard either if you drop. Luckily you are at beginning of Yr 11. You still have some time to seek remedy. Suggest you find...

    Proofs Induction Question

    For (a) hypothesis step: \sum _{r=1} ^k (r+1)\times 2^r = k\times2^{k+1} \\ \\ \therefore \sum _{r=1}^{k+1} = k\times2^{k+1} + (k+1 + 1)\times 2^{k+1} = 2(k+1) \times 2^{k+1} = (k+1)\times 2^{k+1 +1} So if true for n=k, true also for n=k+1 . . . blah blah blah

    Discrete and Continuous Data Question

    1st continuous; second(Free Throws) discrete. Not being well versed with Basketball: you can be awarded 1, 2 or 3 free throws. So you can, if awarded 3 throws, you can score 0, 1, 2 or 3: so the percentage can be 0/3, 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 [x 100%] - only 4 (a finite and countable number, you can...

    inequalities qn

    f(x) is concave down, if f''(x) < 0, assuming a < 1 < b. (f(a)+f(b))/2 is the value of the mid-point of the line segment joining the points A(a,f(a)) and B(b,f(b)), which is below the point M((a+b)/2, f((a+b)/2)).

    Proving First Order Recursive Formula

    As suggested by synthesisFR by Induction: a_n =2^n -1 $ is true for $ n = 1 $ as $ 2^1 - 1 = 1 = a_1\\ \\ $Assume true for n = k $ (k \geq 1)\\ \\ $i.e. $ a_k = 2^k - 1 \\ \\ \therefore a_{k+1} = 2a_k + 1 = 2(2^k - 1) + 1 = 2^{k+1} - 1 So, if the formula holds for n = k, it holds also for n...

    How do you calculate the wavelength of a wave with an energy????

    I'm no expert in physics. Here you have a simple relationship connecting 4 quantities: E, h, c $ and $ \lambda From elementary algebra, if you know any 3 of these 4, you can find the 4th one. Here you want to find lambda, the wavelength; since you know the other 3, you should be able to find...
