White paint costs £2.80 per litre. Blue paint costs £3.50 per litre. White paint and blue paint are mixed in the ratio 3 : 2 Work out the cost of 18 litres of the mixture.

To work out how many litres of white and blue paint is needed, use the ratio 3:2. To find the specifc ratio for 18 litres, of paint: 2+3=5, 18/5=3.6 so (3:2)3.6 becomes 10.8:7.2 (check 10.8+7.2=18). S...

Using the equation cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) or otherwise, show that cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1.

First let a = b = x such that:          

          cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)

becomes:

          cos(x + x) = cos(x)cos(x) - sin(x)sin(x)

Leading to:

     ...
