    need help with a tangent and normal question

    Mentality A, line 3: 1- 1/2 is 1/2. Not -1/2? Same for Mentality B, line 4. 1 + (-1/2) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 You did it right when you were answering the question at the beginning. Just though I'd let you know, might become confusing.

    need help with a tangent and normal question

    If you rationalise the denominator, you will get (sqrt2)/8. Is that what you're trying to get?

    need help with a tangent and normal question

    Try using the quotient rule. That's what I used without simplifying it, and I got sqrt(2)/8.

    Geometry Proofs

    Okay, I'm going to write ^ instead of angle. Firstly: ^AXB = ^DYC (corresponding <'s of congruent triangles) Let <AXB = x and ^DYC = x ^AXC = 180 - ^AXB (supplementary ^'s) = 180 - x ^AYC = 180 - ^DYC (supplementary ^'s) = 180 - x Therefore: ^AYC = ^AXC = 180 -x Secondly...

    Geometry Proofs

    a) That's right, but you have to write the reason at the end. Why is it congruent? Is AAA, AAS, SAS? Well, in this case it's SAS. Other than that, a is fine. b) That's right. You don't ave to add anything else. c) Okay, here you have to prove that angle YAX = angle YCX, and angle AXC = angle...

    Yep, that's right.

    Geometry Proofs

    Yep, you're right. But after the bold part, you can write something like " therefore triangle ADE is isosceles because it has two equal sides, and the angles opposite these sides (the base angles) are equal."

    Trials preperation

    Try doing 2/3 papers with your notes so you can write proper answers for those 3+ mark questions. And the papers after that, do them without your notes.

    Differentiating Trig Functions

    Yeah but it takes longer to differentiate, because you have to use both the chain rule and product rule. Using the chain rule without expanding is faster.

    Differentiating Trig Functions

    For 1 and 3, I wasn't giving you the answers, just examples.

    Differentiating Trig Functions

    1. Use the chain rule. Bring the power down, subtract 1 from the power. Differentiate what's inside the brackets, and multiply the whole equation by it. y = (sinx)^3 y' = 3(sinx)^2(cosx) = 3sin^2xcosx 2. If you have y = tan(2x), then dy/dx would be 2sec^2(2x). Differentiate what's inside...
