Circle with centre C, and points A,B,D and E on the circumference of the circle. BD is the diameter of the circle. Angle CDA is 18 deg and angle AED is 31 deg. Find angle EDA.

Circle theorem: angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.Therefore angle BAE = 90 + 31 = 121 degrees ABDE is a cyclic quadrilateral and:Circle theorem: Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180 ...

A curve has parametric equations: x=(t-1)^3 and y= 3t - 8/(t^2). Find dy/dx in terms of t. Then find the equation of the normal at the point on the curve where t=2.

dx/dt = 3(t-1)2dy/dt = 3 + 16t-3dy/dx=(dy/dt)(dt/dx) dy/dx = 3 + 16t-3 / 3(t-1)2
At t=2 dy/dx= (3 + 16/8) / 3 = 5/3 Gradient of the normal = -3/5with t=2 y...

How can functions be transformed?

A function, y = f(x), with y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, can be transformed by 3 different ways: It can be stretched (or shrunk)If y = f(ax), the function is stretc...

If y = 15 + 5(x + 2), and x = 6, what is y?

Because we're told that x = 6, we can just rewrite the original equation but replace the x with a 6. So:
y = 15 + 5(6 + 2)
6 + 2 = 8, so we can rewrite this again as:
y = 15 + 5(8)
5(8...

How do I solve simultaneous equations like 2x + 5y = 50 and 3x + y = 23?

With simultaneous equations like these, you first want to get to a point where you have one equation with only one variable. To do this, you must eliminate one of the variables. In this case, if you multi...
