What graph can y = cos^2(x^2)/ x^2 have, for x > 0 ?

Right! Analysing the function "y" we can see that the graph should not exist below the "x" axis, since all the elements that form "y" as a function are positive, no matter what values "x" takes. Providing " x>0 " of course.Moreover, for "y=0", then "cos^2(x^2)/ x^2 = 0 ", hence "x^2= pi/2". For "x>0" the only value that satisfies our equation is " x = sqrt(pi/2)",which means the graph should look like ( can not attach a picture :( ).

We define the digit sum of a non-negative integer to be the sum of its digits. For example, the digit sum of 123 is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Let n be a positive integer with n < 10. How many positive integers less than 1000 have digit sum equal to n?


Solve 8^x + 4 = 4^x + 2^(x+2).


I've been doing specimen MAT admission test - but I couldn't figure out the answer to the parts III, and IV of question 6 (https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/system/files/attachments/speca.pdf). Is there some kind of a trick?


(Note this is the kind of exercise I would ask someone who is doing further maths and especially someone MAT/STEP) Sketch the graph of y=sin(1/x)
