Line AB, with equation: 3x + 2y - 1 = 0, intersects line CD, with equation 4x - 6y -10 = 0. Find the point, P, where the two lines intersect.

Let eqn. 1 be: 3x + 2y - 1 = 0  & Let eqn. 2 be: 4x - 6y -10 = 0

Multiply eqn. 1 by a factor of 3, and add the two eqautions together. (This eliminates y from the equation)

This gives: 9...

A straight line passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 3. Find the co-ordinates of the points where this line intersects the axes

M=3

y1=1

x1=2

y-y1=m(x=x1)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3x-6

y=3x-6

at the x axis, y=0. 

‘Sub in to find the x co-rdinate:

0=3x-5

A football is kicked at 30 m/s at an angle of 20° to the horizontal. It travels towards the goal which is 25 m away. The crossbar of the goal is 2.44 m tall. (A) Does the ball go into the goal, hit the crossbar exactly, or go over the top?

With questions about projectiles, such as a ball travelling in the shape of a parabola through the air as in the above question, it is always good to split the problem into the horizontal and vertical com...

Consider f:R -> R, f = x/ sqrt(x^2+1). Prove that for any a between -1 and 1, f(x)=a has only one solution.

f'(x)=( sqrt (x^2+1) - x * ( x / sqrt (x^2 +1) ) ) / (x^2+1) = (x^2 + 1 + x^2) / ( (x^2 + 1) * sqrt ( x^2 + 1) ) =  1 / ( (x^2 + 1) * sqrt (x^2 + 1) ). 

f'(x) > 0 for any x => f is increasing...

Differentiate x^cos(x) and find the derivative of cosec^-1(x)

for part a) let y=xcos(X) , the ln(y)=ln(xcos(X))=cos(x)ln(x), thus d/dx (ln(y(x)) = d/dx (cos(x)ln(x)), 1/y*dy/dx=cox(x)/x - sinxlnx => solve for dy/dx =>...
