Core 3: Find all the solutions of 2cos(2x) = 1-2sin(x) in the interval 0<x<360

2cos(2x) = 1-2sin(x)

2(1-2sin2(x)) = 1-2sin(x) -- by our trigonometric functions

2-4sin2(x) = 1-2sin(x)

4sin2(x)-2sin(x)-1=0 -- rearrange

sin(x...

Jo has the following 9 coins in her purse: 10p, 2p, 2p, 50p, 10p, 1p, 20p, 2p, 2p. Work out the median, mean, mode and range.

To work out the median of a set of numbers we first place them in order:

1p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 2p, 10p, 10p, 20p, 50p

Then the median is the middle value in the list, in this case 2p.

How would I differentiate something with the product rule?

Okay so, first of all the product rule in itself is fairly simple. Take the product of a function "u" and a function "v" to be a compound function. You can write this as "uv"...

How would I solve the equation 25^x = 5^(4x+1)?

You would have to rewrite 25 as 5^2 hence 25^x = (5^2)^x = 5^(2*x).

Then 5^(2x) = 5^(4x+1) and therefore 2x = 4x + 1 hence 2x = -1 hence x = -1 / 2.

Emma has a digital photo. The photo has width 960 pixels and height 720 pixels. Write down the ratio of the width of the photo to the height of the photo. Give the ratio in its simplest form.

4:3 Working: 960:720 (divide by 10) 96:72 (divide by 8 as 8 is common multiple of both 96 and 72 (should know this from times tables)) 12:9 (divide by 3) 4:3 simplifying slowly and in small steps r...
