The line l1 has equation 2x + 3y = 26 The line l2 passes through the origin O and is perpendicular to l1 (a) Find an equation for the line l2

First we make y the subject of the l1 equation. This is so we can have it in the form y=mx +c where m is the gradient and c is your y-intercept. For this example we would take away 2x from both sides leav...

the line L goes through the points A (3,1) and B(4,-2). Find the equation for L.

First we need to consider what a straight line looks like:
y = mx + c (if we get something different we've gone wrong somewhere)one way to get the equation is using a point (general point is (x1...

The curve y = 4x^2 + a/x +5 has a stationary point. Find the value of the positive constant 'a' given that the y-coordinate of the stationary point is 32. (OCR C1 2016)

First, we must find the value of x that corresponds to the stationary point, i.e. where the gradient (dy/dx) is zero. This will be in terms of 'a' (if we change 'a,' we change the shape of the function by...

A block mass m lies on an incline rough plane, with coefficient of friction µ. The angle of the block is increased slowly, calculate the maximum angle of the slope that can be achieved without the block slipping.

First draw out the free body diagram for the problem, marking on all forces acting on the objects ie. the mass of the block and the reaction force normal to the plane and the forces acting due to friction...

Given that the binomial expansion of (1 + kx) ^ n is 1 - 6x + 30x^2 + ..., find the values of n and k.

Setting (1 + kx)n equal to 1 - 6x + 30x2 + ..., the binomial expansion can be applied to the LHS, by making use of the formula provided in the formula book. In this case, where x app...
