The straight line L1 passes through the points with coordinates (4, 6) and (12, 2) . The straight line L2 passes through the origin and has a gradient of -3. The lines L1 and L2 intersect at point P. Find the coordinates of P.

First, we want to find the gradient of L1 using (4,6) and (12,2)m= (2-6)/ (12-4) = -1/2 then we can find the equation of L1 using y=mx+c rearrange for c as the subject, c= y-mx and substitute the gradient...

Tom tosses a coin. Every toss lands on either heads or tails. The coin lands on heads two thirds of the first 24 games. The coin then lands on heads the next 6 games. For all 30 tosses, work out the ratio heads:tails. Give the answer in the simplest form.

For the first 24 games, heads = 24 x (2/3) = 16. For the next 6 games, heads = 6. Total number of heads = 22. 30 - 22 = 8 therefore tales = 8. Therefore, ratio = 22:8 = 11:4, heads:tales.

How to differentiate with respect to x, xsin2x.

There are to parts involving x in this expression, so we need to use the product rule. Let u=x and v=sin2x.So we find u'=1, and v'=2sin2x. Then the formula for the product rule gives us that d/dx(uv)= uv'...
