Given that log3 (c ) = m and log27 (d )= n , express c /(d^1/2) in the form 3^y, where y is an expression in terms of m and n.

I find that a lot of maths at A-Level is unmotivated, and this causes a lot of unnecessary confusion. You can do this question, you just need to recognise the point of log and keep a level head. Log is d...

A parabola with equation y^2=4ax for constant a is translated by the vector (2,3) to give the curve C. The curve C passes through the point (4,7), what is the value of a?

Invert the translation of (2,3) to get the parabola passing through the point (4,7)-(2,3)=(2,4). This is the same as saying that y=4 when x=2, substitute this into your equation y^2=4ax to get a=2.This wi...
