The diagram shows the position of two ships, A and B, and a lighthouse L. Ship A is 5km from L on a bearing of 070° from L. Ship B is 3km from L on a bearing of 210° from L. Find the distance between A and B correct to 3.s.f.

(Draw diagram) From the diagram we can see that angle BLA= 210-70 = 140° . So for our triangle BLA we now have two sides and an included angle and we want to work out the length of the side opposite the a...

Show that the lines A: y= 2x-5. and the line B: 2y-4x+3=0 are parallel.

If two lines are parallel they have the same gradient. line A is in the form y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c is the y intercept. Therefore, the gradient of A =2.Get B into the form y=mx+c to compare ...

Find the co ordinates and nature of the turning points of the curve C withe equation, y=2x^3-5x^2-4x+2

Firstly, Differentiate the equation to find dy/dx. (dy/dx = 6x^2-10x-4)dy/dx shows the rate of change of the curve at a point, so at the stationary point dy/dx =0. So, put dy/dx = 0 and solve using factor...
