If cos(x)= 1/3 and x is acute, then find tan(x).

Consider a right angled triangle. Call one of the angles (not the right angle) in this triangle x. We can do this as we are told x is acute. The side opposite to x label O, the side adjacent to x label A, an...

If n is an integer prove (n+3)^(2)-n^(2) is never even.

Let us begin by simplifying the expression:(n+3) 2 - n 2 = (n+3)(n+3) - n 2 = n 2 + 6n + 9 - n 2 (expanded brackets)= 6n + 9 (collected like terms)= 3(2n+3) (taken out a factor of 3)Now we can consider this ...

For what values of k does the graph y=x^(2)+2kx+5 not intersect the x-axis

Where the graph intersects the x-axis, x 2 +2kx+5 must be equal to zero. Thus we can answer the equivalent question: For what k does x 2 +2kx+5 = 0 not have a solution?This is now a simpler problem (roots of...
