but ur just stating the cross section, you only say what the shape is when that certain plane intersects the figure right?
um....I think its best to work out the equation...it will make more sense to teh markers...

1 a iii) We have to prove lim x->2 of the function is = 4
Using Squeeze law...we know that
-1 <= cos ( 1/(x-2)) <=1
hence -(x-2) <= (x-2) cos (1/(x-2))<=x-2
when we take the lim x->2
we get
0<=(x-2)cos(1/cos(x-2)<=0
because the two sides are equal
therefore....
by squeeze law
lim x-> 2 (x-2)cos(1/(x-2)) = 0
therefore the lim x->2 of teh original f(x)
is ....lim x->2 x^2( 1+ lim x->2 (x-2)cos(1/(x-2)))
= 2^2 (1 + 0)
= 4
for 2b...too hard to explain...read the notes....just remember that
-1<=-sinx<=1
and that cos x is continuous and defferentiable for all Re x...
then just use MVT...

Yeah i got 2b now, but you actually explained 1.b.iii which i already got, but i used yours to check and i did virtually the same thing so thats good.

sorry....woops.....the cross sectional thing right?..
ok at y = 0
z = sqrt ( 4 - (x-1)^2 -(-3/2)^2)
= sqrt (7/4 - (x-1)^2)
which is an equation of a semicircle with centre (1,0) on xz plane with radius of root (7/4) units
at y =3
z = sqrt ( 4- (x-1)^2 -0)
= sqrt (4- (x-1)^2)
which is an equation of a semicircle with centre (1,0) on xz plane with radius of 2 units

hope that helps

2 a) iii) u have 4 intervals
(-oo,-2], [-2,0], [0,5], [5,oo)
these intervals are from ur critical pts which should have been at x = -2,0,5 from part ii)
so now each interval is in form [a,b]
so at f(a) for the first interval
its positive...and f(b) is negative
therefore there is a root....ie change of sign...
repeat for each interval
u should get 4 roots or 4 change of signs for f(x)....

ohh yea i did the - infinity and - 2 one and -infinity we proved from part i already thats its positive, and -2 gave a negative answer, so a change of sign thus a root, umm how did u exactly determine those intervals like the (-inf, -2]

well they have to be the intervals...because intervals are taken between critical pts....and the end pts of a function...
