A square, with sides of length x cm, is inside a circle. Each vertex of the square is on the circumference of the circle. The area of the circle is 49 cm^2. Work out the value of x. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

The question tells us that the area of the circle is 49cm², therefore we are able to form the equation πr²=49 (where r = radius of the circle). We can now work out the radius of the ...

The function f(x) is defined by f(x) = 1 + 2 sin (3x), − π/ 6 ≤ x ≤ π/ 6 . You are given that this function has an inverse, f^ −1 (x). Find f^ −1 (x) and its domain

To find inverse functions we swap the variables of the function we are taking the inverse of. let y=1+2sin(3x)so now, x=1+2sin(3y)Aiming to make y the subject, x-1= 2sin(3y)Therefore, (x-1)/2=sin(3y), ...
