    refer to attached diagram: AP is a line parallel to x axis You should be able to find X from the equation of the normal. noting that PAY and OXY are similar triangles, use the ratios of sides to get: Noting OX= x coordinate of X AP= x coordinate of P \frac{PY-PX}{PY}=\frac{OX}{AP} \\...

    Economics: Consumption Functions and Savings Functions?

    Assume we are in a world where we either spend on consumption goods/services or save. ie. Total Income (Y) = Total Consumption (C) + Savings (S) Consider the consumption component (C). There is a fixed component and a variable component which is dependent on our income. - The fixed component...

    Exponential help

    Draw a diagram to find out which region you need to integrate. In this question you should integrate along x axis. So it should be clear that: Area=\int_0^2 e^{2x}-1 dx

    Yr 11 Cambridge Geometrical Theorems about the Parabola question

    (1) Let P be (2p, p^2) and Q be (2q, q^2). Find q in terms of p by using the intersection between the normal at P and parabola. (2) remember PS=distance to focus = distance to directrix (defn of a parabola), which can easily be found by drawing a diagram. Do the same for QS in terms of p. (3)...

    Starting conics

    On the other end of the scale, if you are doing too much algebra for conics, you are not doing it the way the question is meant to be done (ie. there is a better way) If you master 3u parametrics, conic is not really hard.

    Help with multiple choice Q

    Conventional current is going down (+ to -). Magnetic field is going left at the current position of the wire (as it goes from N to S, so field is always going away from N). Use FBI left hand rule to deduce the wire is going clockwise.

    Complex no. question help

    Also note that since |p|< 2, the discrimminant < 0 and hence roots must be complex and hence conjugates

    Quick question

    For the later: Re(\frac{x-1+iy}{x-iy})=0 \\ Re(\frac{(x-1+iy)(x+iy)}{x^2+y^2})=0 \\ Re(\frac{(x-1)x-y^2+i(2x-1)y}{x^2+y^2})=0 Hence: x(x-1)-y^2 = 0

    Quick question

    For the former: Let z=x+iy Re(x+iy-\frac{1}{x-iy}) = 0 \\ Re(x+iy-\frac{x+iy}{x^2+y^2}) = 0 Taking real parts we get: x-\frac{x}{x^2+y^2}=0 \\ x(1-\frac{1}{x^2+y^2})=0 hence either x=0 or x^2+y^2=1
