solve the simultaneous equations: 3x + 5y = 4 ; 7x - 3y = 8

first recognise that if you double the first equation the both equations will be equal to 8.so now we have 6x + 10y = 8 ; 7x - 3y = 8now we can set the equations equal to each other to get 6x + 10y = 7...

differentiate: y=[xcos(x^3)]/[(x^4 + 1)^3] with respect to x

This question is on the trickier side as it is heavily computational and requires a good knowledge of the differentiation rules however it is a good way to practise using multiple rules at once.First we w...

Find the volume of a right angled triangular prism with an angle of 28 degrees, hypotenuse of length 10 cm, and projected length of 12.5 cm. Give your answer in cm^3, to three significant figures.

The area of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the end face by the projected length. The adjacent and opposite side lengths of the triangle can be found using SOHCAHTOA. sin(28)= opposite/10, the...

Solve Simultaneous equations: 3x + 4y = 23 & 2x + 3y = 16

We need to cancel one of the variables (the x or y) out. Find the LCM of x or y.e.g. for x --> 6Multiply the WHOLE eqn to get 6x. So multiply the 1st eqn by 2 and the 2nd by 3[1] 6x + 8y = 46[2] 6x + 9...

The curve C has parametric equations x=cos(t)+1/2*sin(2t) and y =-(1+sin(t)) for 0<=t<=2π. Find a Cartesian equation for C. Find the volume of the solid of revolution of C about the y-axis.

Note the simplest relation to eliminate t is the fact cos2(t)+sin2(t)=1 for all t, so we need only find x and y in terms of cos(t) and sin(t).Note we have sin(t)=-(y+1) from the equa...
