    Parabola locus

    18 a) Equation of parabola: x^2=4y where a= 1 PS = PM where M is a point at the directrix (y=-1) directly below P (same x-coordinate) PM = p^2-(-1) = p^2+1 = PS b) PS = p^2+1 and QS = q^2+1 PS + QS = p^2+q^2+2 c) Since PQ is a focal chord pq=-1 (can prove by finding eqn of PQ and substitute the...

    Need help with this simultaneous equation question!!

    To eliminate s, multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom by 5 and then subtract both equations. Note that you want to get the lowest common multiple. 15s-9t-39=0 - 15s-35t-65=0 26t + 26 = 0 t= -1 You can either sub t=-1 into any of the equations or use elimination again to eliminate...

    Quick Geometrical Application of Calculus Question?

    3c) xy=300 A=(x-5)(y-3) A=(x-5)(300/x - 3) = 300-3x-1500/x + 15 = 315 - 3x -1500/x dA/dx = -3 + 1500/x^2 when dA/dx = 0 x = sqr(500) = 10sqr(5) y= (300/x - 3) = (30/sqr 5 - 3) To prove maximum, find d^2A/dx^2 d^2A/dx^2 = -3000/x^3 Sub x= 10sqr(5) and its a maximum Therefore dimensions are...

    Quick Geometrical Application of Calculus Question?

    3b) y'' = -2x Integrating, y' = -x^2 + C When f'(x)=0 (min turning point) x= 3 0=-9 + C C= 9 Therefore, y' = -x^2 +9 Integrating, y= -x^3/3 +9x + C When x=3, y = 7 7 = -9 + 27 + C C = -11 Therefore, y=-x^3/3 + 9x - 11 Is that the correct answer? Tell me if I did something wrong

    Completely dropping Mathematics?

    It’s never too late to build up your skills. If you put in a few hours of maths every day or finish your homework, you will eventually know how to tackle every question because each question will be very similar after a while. Yes Maths in Focus isn’t a very good book so maybe purchase another...

    Help with polynomials!!

    Isn't it faster to just solve A and B and put it into the form (x-A)(x-B) than making it a quadratic equation and then using the quadratic formula which you still need to put it into that form?
