A cone has a radius of 2 units and a height of 3 units. Devise a simplified equation to find the volume of the cone.

Vol = 1/3 pi r^2 h

r = 2n

h = 3n

Therefore

Vol = 1/3.pi.(2n)^2.3n

Vol = 1/3.pi.12n^3

Vol = 4.pi.n^3

Prove by induction that the sum of the first n integers can be written as (1/2)(n)(n+1).

For n = 1, the sum is given by (1/2)(1)(1+1), which gives 1, the expected result. We now assume that the statement is true for some k. If we look at k+1, the sum is given by 1 + 2 + ... + k + (k+1). Since...

Given the function f(x) = (x^2)sin(x), find f'(x).

The function f(x) is a product of 2 functions of x, so when we differentiate it, we need to use the product rule.

The product rule states that for a function f(x) = g(x)*h(x), f'(x) is given by g(x...

A round cake is shared between Abi, Elvira and Tina. The angle cut at the centre of the cake for each piece is that person’s age multiplied by 10. Abi 9 years old and Elvira is 14 years old. How old is Tina?

The cake is in the shape of a circle. How many degrees in a circle?

Abi is 9 years old so the angle of her slice is 9 x 10 = 90°, Elvera is 14 years old so her angle is 14 x 10 = 140°. Total angle ...
