A circular table top has diameter 140 cm. Calculate the area of the table top in cm² , giving your answer as a multiple of π.

Area of a circle = π r²

r = (1/2) d = (1/2) * 140 = 70

area         = π * (70)²

                = 4900 π cm²

A function is defined parametrically as x = 4 sin(3t), y = 2 cos(3t). Find and simplify d^2 y/dx^2 in terms of t and y.

We first need to find dy/dx and we use the fact that dy/dx = dy/dt * dt/dx. So we have dy/dt = -6sin(3t) and dx/dt = 12cos(3t). Substituing these in we have dy/dx = -6*sin(3t)1/(12cos(3t...
