How would you show that a vector is normal to a plane in 3D space?

There are 2 main methods for finding a normal vector.

  1. If you know two vectors that lie in the plane e.g. (a,b,c) and (d,e,f), we can find a normal vector by calculating the vector/cross p...

Find the gradient of the exponential curve y(x)=(9e^(7x))/(12e^(2x)) at x=2/5

According to the quotient rule, when y(x)=f(x)/g(x), y'(x)=(f'(x)g(x)-g'(x)f(x))/g(x)2

f(x)=9e7x f'(x)=63e7x, g(x)=12e2x g'(x)=24e2x

Use the double angle formulae and the identity cos(A+B)≡cos(A)cos(B)−sin(A)sin(B) to obtain an expression for cos 3x in terms of cos x only

To answer, you need to know and be able to use your trigonometric formulae including the double angle formulae on data sheet.

1: cos(3x)=cos(2x+x) = cos(2x)cos(x) - sin(2x)sin(x)        split the 3...

y = (x^2)sin(3x). Find dy/dx

We need to differentiate x2sin(3x). We know how to differentiate (x2) on its own, and how to differentiate sin(3x) on its own. So we can use the Product rule:

dy/dx = (d/dx(x<...
