A cuboid has a rectangular cross section where the length of the rectangle is equal to twice its width x cm. THe volume is 81 cm^3. a) show that the total length L cm of the cuboid is given by L=12x+162/x^2

Volume=81 cm3 

b=81/2x2 

L=4x+4(2x)+ 4(b)

L=4(x)+4(2x)+4(81/2x2

L=12x+ 162/x2

The variables x and y are related by y = 5^x. How do I find the value of x when y is set to 15?


Write down the values of (1) loga(a) and (2) loga(a^3) [(1) log base a, of a (2) log base a of (a^3)]


(i) Prove sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 2cosec(2θ) , (ii) draw draph of y = 2cosec(2θ) for 0<θ< 360°, (iii) solve to 1 d.p. : sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 3.


Supposing y = arcsin(x), find dy/dx
