Solve the differential equations dx/dt=2x+y+1 and dy/dt=4x-y+1 given that when t=0 x=20 and y=60. (A2 Further pure)

These questions are really mean but if given in the exam give ALOT of marks and whilst scary at first follow a very general pattern. First I would take either equation and re-arrange for the lone variable...

Given that y = 4x^3 -1 + 2x^1/2 (where x>0) find dy/dx.

This is an example of a common AS differentiation Q. To find dy/dx simply apply the power rule to each term in the equation. The power rule is if you have a term x^n then dy/dx will be n times x^(n-1). e....

The weight in grams, of beans in a tin is normally distributed with mean U and S.D. 7.8, given that 10% conntain more than 225g a) Find U b) % of tins that contain more than 225 grams(A2 stats)

for part a) you would need to use the formula (x-U)/S.D.=a where X=200 and S.D.=7.8. The student would need to calculate a with the information given. I here would use standard normal distribution here to...

At time t = 0, a particle is projected vertically upwards with speed u m s–1 from a point 10 m above the ground. At time T seconds, the particle hits the ground with speed 17.5 m s–1. Find the value of u and T and evaluate the model. (AS mechanics)

This is a classic suvat question that will most definately appear in the studnets exam without fail. To begin I would list all the values I have and notice that the ball being modelled as a particle denot...
