By using the substitution, x = 2sin(y) find the exact value of integral sqrt(1/3(4-x^2)) dx with limits 0 and 1.

In order to calculate this integral we must use the sustitution provided. x=2siny. Firtsly I will differentiate to find the dx component of the integral, so dx/dy=2cosy hence, dx=2cosydy. Now for the limi...

Show that the line y = x - 7 does not meet the circle (x + 2)^2 + y^2 = 33.

To find potential points of intersection between the line and the circle, we need to solve the equations simultaneously. So, we substitute y = x - 7 into the equation of the circle: (x + 2)2 + ...

Because the value, x and its inverse, -1/x should multiply together to give -1. This is proof that two lines are perpendicular (or having the same magnitude of gradient but opposite signs +/- ).

What is 'grouping' and how does it work?

Grouping is essentially factorisation, it's just the idea that ax + bx = (a+b)x, which we already know. But the difficulty is in recognising this relationship when x is more complicated, for example when ...

Make a the subject of 3(a+4) = ac+5f

Multiply out the brackets:

3a+12=ac+5f

3a-ac=5f-12

a(3-c)=5f-12

a=5f-12/3-c
