The expansion of (1+x)^4 is 1 + 4x +nx^2 + 4x^3 + x^4. Find the value of n. Hence Find the integral of (1+√y)^4 between the values 1 and 0 (one top, zero bottom).

Using Binomial expansion or Pascal's triangle, expand (1+x)^4 to get 1+4x+6x^2+4x^3+x^4. Then, by substituting √y for x, get 1 + 4y^1/2 + 6y +4y^3/2 +y^2. Then, using the rules of integration, the expansi...

Factorise y^2 + 7y + 6

So here we have a quadratic equation because it has the structure a^2 + bx + c. In order to factorise a quadratic we first need to look for two numbers that we can multiply together to get 6 and add toget...

Express 4 sin(x) – 8 cos(x) in the form R sin(x-a), where R and a are constants, R >0 and 0< a< π/2

4 sin(x) – 8 cos(x)= Rsin(x-a) here use double angle formula

4 sin(x) – 8 cos(x)= Rsin(x)cos(a)-Rcos(x)sin(a) Rearrange so in same format as LHS

4 sin(x) – 8 cos(x)= Rcos(a)sin(x)-Rsin(a)cos...

Point A (-3,5) and point B (1,-15) are to be connected to form a straight line, fing the equation of the line in the form y=mx+c?

First identify your x1, y1 and x2,y2. It is helpful to write this above the two points A and B. To find the gradient the following equation can be used (I will show equation on board),as u can see the X1,...

The line L has equation y = 5 - 2x. (a) Show that the point P (3, -1) lies on L. (b) Find an equation of the line perpendicular to L that passes through P.

(a) To confirm that point P lies on L, we must substitute x = 3 into the equation and see if we get y = -1. y = 5 - 2(3) = -1, therefore P lies on the line L (b) The gradient of the perpendicular line is ...
