    Trig Inequality Question

    1. 1-cos(2x) = 2sin^{2}(x) \therefore 1 - cos(2x) = 1 + cos(2x) cos(2x) = 0 $ Then use the fundamental formula for cosine 2. $ Consider, $ cos(2x) - 2sin^{2}(x) + 1 $ = cos(2x) - (1 - cos(2x)) + 1 = 2cos2x For 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{4} 0 < 2x < \frac{\pi}{2} $ Drawing...

    Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon factorise (x^6 - 1) and you'll eventually get int (dx/(x^2 + x+1)(x^3 + 1)) and then partial Idk if there's an easier way

    Trig Questions

    For 1, draw up the two graphs, and integrate with borders making sure to put absolute values wherever, the area goes under the x-axis. For 2, note that : \frac{d}{dx} (-cotx) = (cscx)^{2} So by integrating both sides \int \frac{d}{dx} (-cotx) = \int (cscx)^{2} dx -cotx + C= \int (cscx)^2...

    Acceleration as a function of displacement

    Why is it more suitable? In both cases, you're differentiating with respect to displacement. Integrating vdv = v^2 / 2

    Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon Shouldn't the first step be something like F_{net} = ma F_{net} = F - kv^{2} ma = F - kv^{2} \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{1}{m} [F - kv^{2}] Do we need to assume mg acts on it?

    Acceleration as a function of displacement

    Yes, use dv/dt to find velocity as a function of time and d(1/2 v^2)/dx to find velocity as a function of displacement. In 4 unit, it's more common to use vdv/dx to find velocity as a function of displacement.

    Is this useable in an exam without quoting?

    it's essentially the changeof base law and multiplying both top and bottom by 'n'

    Is this useable in an exam without quoting?

    Probably not but you should still check with your teacher. I've never seen that used before. When would there be a good time?

    Circle geometry question

    Connect O to midpt of chord AB and also to chord CD. This will both be perpendicular (radii bisecting chord is at right angles). Then connect O to P. You can prove congruency in the two triangles and hence prove AB = CD
