    Displacement is given by s = 2 + 3t - t^2, find the maximum displacement
    for max displacement ds/dt=0
    so
    s=2+3t-t^2
    ds/dt=3-2t
    therdore 3-2t=0
    -2t=-3
    2t=3

    y^2 = 12x (1)
    3y = 4x + 6 (2)
    from eqn 2
    y = (4x + 6)/3 (3)
    substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1
    ( (4x/3) + 2)( (4x/3) + 2) = 12x
    (16x^2/9) + (16x/3) + 4 = 12x
    multiply by 9 throughout
    16x^2 + 48x + 36 = 108x
    / by 4
    4x^2 + 12x - 27x + 9 = 0
    4x^2 - 15x + 9 = 0
    4x^2 - 12x - 3x + 9 = 0
    4x(x - 3) -3(x - 3) = 0
    (x - 3) (4x - 3) = 0

    x = 3 or x = 3/4

    You can just look at the completed square in iii and determine the turning point but in the differential you have to equate dy/dx to zero and then sub the x value in the eqn with y . It is much more longer.

  13. Question on vectors (for anyone up to the challenge)

    If AB is a vector 4i + 10j and AD is a vector 11i - 12j what is their resultant and what would the resultant vector be called ?

  15. i dont understand what GL do in Q1 from sub come down

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well 260....previously from equation 2, GL found the value of x by rearranging the formular to be 4/y. And then, he substituted it into equation 1. in other words, wherever you see x in equation 1, replace it with 4/y and solve.

    (4/y)^2+4y^2=20
    16/y^2+4y2=20
    16/y^2=20-4y^2
    16=y^2(20-4y^2)
    16=20y^2-4y^4
    4y^4-20y^2+16=0
    /4
    y^4-5Y^2+4=0
    Factorize
    (y^2+4)(y^2-1)
    Y^2=-4 or y^2=1
    y=sqrt(-4) or y= sqrt 1
    does not exist or +/- 1
    therfore sub y=1 into (2)
    xy=4
    1x=4
    x=4
    or y=-1
    xy=4
    -1x=4
    x=-4

  30. Since:
    y = x^3 -12x - 12
    then:
    dy/dx=3x^2-12

    3x^2-12=0
    3x^2=12
    x^2=4
    x=√4 = 2
    when

    x=2 y=2^3 -12(2) - 12
    y=8-24-12 = -28

    so x = 2 and y = -28

    dy/dx= 3x^2 - 12

    the stationary point is where the gradient (dy/dx) of the curve is equal to zero

    therefore substitute dy/dx=0
    0= 3x^2 - 12

  45. in order to find the magnitude of the horizontal.. we can use the formula:
    cosᶿ=adj/hyp
    cos53= h/200
    h= cos53 * 200
    h= 120.36
    the horizontal = 120.36m

    in order to find the vertical component of the vector:-
    sinᶿ= opp/hyp
    sin50= v/ 200
    v=sin50*200
    v=153.21
    therefore the vertical magnitude of the vector= 153.21m

    Y= x^3 - 12x - 12 (1)
    DY/DX = (1*3)x^(3-1) - (12*1)x^(1-1)
    DY/DX = 3x^2 - 12

    at stationary point the gradient is equal to zero. in other words dy/dx is =0

    substitute dy/dx=0

    3x^2 - 12 =0
    12= 3x^2
    12/3= x^2
    4= x^2
    square root of 4 = x
    therfore x= + or - 2

    substitute x=2 in to (1) subtitute x= -2 in to (1)
    y= x^3 - 12x - 12 y= x^3 - 12x -12
    y= (2)^3 - 12(2)- 12 y= (-2)^3 - 12(-2) -12
    y= 8 - 24 -12 y= 8 + 24 -12

    You can just look at the completed square in iii and determine the turning point but in the differential you have to equate dy/dx to zero and then sub the x value in the eqn with y . It is much more longer.

    for turning points dy/dx=0

    3x^2-12=0

    3x^2=12
    x^2=4
    x=2

    substitute x=2 in y=x^3-12x-12

    y=(2)^3-12(2)-12

    y=8-24-12

    y=-28

    turning point (2,-28)

  104. question 2

    cos50=adj/200

    horizontal component=200cos50


    tan50=opp/200

    vertical component=200tan50
