ABC, DEF and PQRS are parallel lines. BEQ is a straight line. Angle ABE = 60° Angle QER = 80° Work out the size of the angle marked x. Give reasons for each stage of your working.

Angles ABE and EQR are alternate interior angles. This means they are the same thus angle EQR = 60˚. We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180˚ and we know that angle QER =...

Solve this set of simultaneous equations: 5x+3=3y 9x+9=6y

Firstly, you need to understand that the two equations are interlinked, therefore the x and the y variables are the same values in both equations. To make things easier, we can number both equations. What...

Prove the identity: (sinx - tanx)(cosx - cotx) = (sinx - 1)(cosx - 1)

(sinx - tanx)(cosx - cotx)= (sinx - sinx/cosx)(cosx - cosx/sinx)= sinxcosx - (sinx + cosx) + 1= (sinx - 1)(cosx - 1)

For what values of k does the line y=kx-1 have two distinct points of intersection with the circle (x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=2?

sub y=kx-1 into circle equation, get (k^2+1)x^2-(8k+4)x+18=0for 2 distinct solutions need b^2-4ac>0, ie -8k^2+64k-56>0iff k^2-8k+7<0complete the square: intersections of equation in k satisfy(k-4...

Prove by induction that the nth triangle number is given by n(n+1)/2

base case: (1 x 2)/2 = 1 as required inductive step: assuming statement holds for n=k, the (k+1)th triangle number is given by k(k+1)/2 + (k+1) by definition=(k^2+3k+2)/2=(k+1)(k+2)/2=(k+1)((k+1)+1)/2resu...
