A ball, dropped vertically, falls d metres in t seconds. d is directly proportional to the square of t. The ball drops 45 metres in the first 3 seconds. How far does the ball drop in the next 7 seconds?

If d is directly proportional to the square of t, we write this as d= kt2 , where k = the proportionality constant which we must find. Substitute in the values given in the question into our e...

The rectangular hyperbola H has parametric equations: x = 4t, y = 4/t where t is not = 0. The points P and Q on this hyperbola have parameters t = 1/4 and t = 2 respectively. The line l passes through the origin O and is perpendicular to the line PQ.

This question asks us to find the cartesian equation of l.
First we must find the points P and Q. To do this we substitute t with 1/4 to find P and substitute t with 2 to find Q.Doing this we get the...

A curve has parametric equations x= 2sin(t) , y= cos(2t) + 2sin(t) for -1/2 π≤t≤ 1/2π , show that dy/dx = - 2sin(t)+ 1

A parametric equation is where both x and y are expressed separately, in terms of a parameter (t). In order to differentiate them we must use the chain rule, which here would be dy/dx= dy/dt ÷ dx/dt. The ...

Work out the angle between the two tangents of the curve y = sin(x) at y = 0 and y = 1

First we take the derivative of the function, this gives us dy/dx = cos(x)
Now we work out the different x values for y = 0 and y = 1.
sin(x) = 0 => x = 0, sin(x) = 1 => x = pi/2 (90 degre...
