The number of uniform spherical balls that can be produced from a given mass of lead is inversely proportional to the radius of the ball cubed. If 2744 balls can be made when the radius is 1mm, how many balls can be made when the radius is 1.4mm ?

So first we need to write down the proportionality relationship the question states. If we let n be the number of balls and r be the radius of the balls we can say n (proportional symbol) 1/r3....

Integrate ⌠( xcos^2(x))dx

We must first use trigonometric identities to simplify cos2(x). We can use the formula cos(A+B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B) , where A=x and B=x, so that we ...

A curve C has equation y = (2 - x)(1 + x) + 3 . A line passes through the point (2, 3) and the point on C with x-coordinate 2 + h . Find the gradient of the line, giving your answer in its simplest form.

First we find the y coordinate which is a function of x:

x = 2+ h so  y = (2 - 2 - h)(1 + 2 + h) + 3 = -h2 - 3h + 3

Now for the gradient, the line passes through points (2,3) and ...

How do I know which sides are the Adjacent, Opposite and Hypotenuse for trigonometry?

The hypotenuse is the easiest to spot - it's always the longest side, and it's across from the right angle in the triangle. This leaves two others: the adjacent side is the side that is next to the acute ...
