    Hard Conics Question

    oh i didnt see that - thanks

    Is internal ratio division part of the 2U course?

    omg i cant believe i knew that this thread was started by you b4 opening it. It just has that weird essence to it.

    Locus problem + advice on completing the square

    stuff completing the square unless the question asks, if the question did ask just swear at your teacher - also if you complete the square how do you get a circle.

    this question is stuffing you up ehhh ;)

    Locus problem + advice on completing the square

    Thats not a bloody circle cos coeffs of x and y are different PA^2 = (X+6)^2 + (Y-5)^2 = X^2 + 12X + Y^2 -10Y + 61 PB^2 = (X-3)^2 + (Y+1)^2 = X^2 - 6X + Y^2 + 2Y + 10 4PA^2 = 9B^2 Then i get 5x^2 -102x + 5y^2 +68y = 154 WHICH IS A CIRCLE SINCE COEFFS OF X AND Y ARE SAME question...

    Hard Conics Question

    hey realise thanks for the suggestion. ive already completed that question lol - its in our 4unit booklet. but the question specifies that A (or P') is directly above P and Q' is directly below Q. Or should I just consider the triangles given in the question and use that to show the distances...

    Hard Conics Question

    thanks :) ... but wouldnt it take a few weeks for you to learn hyperbola properties (assuming you learn ellipse first)

    Hard Conics Question

    Prove that if chord PQ cuts hyperbola x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 at P and Q and the asymptotes at P' and Q' then PP' = QQ' Can someone please show me how to do this. I tried both parametric and cartesian approach. And using distance formula gets way too complicated as there are like 3 or 4 terms...

    Another Polynomial Question

    yh it is but my class learnt it in three unit for fun lol

    Maximum and Minimum Problems help

    and q12 - max area of rectangle occurs when all vertices on circumfgerence - using circle geo it can be shown the the centre of the rectangle (where diagonals intersect ) is the centre of the circle. Therefore diagonal = diameter = 12cm let dimensions of rect be xcm by ycm using pythagoras x^2...

    Maximum and Minimum Problems help

    for the surfboard question let the length of the rectangle part be X and the height be 2R ---> thus the radius of the semicircle is R Perimeter = X + X + 2R + 1/2 (2piR) = 2X + R(pi+2) = 4 From this X = 1/2 [ 4 - R(pi + 2)] Area of the shape A = 2RX + 1/2 pi R^2 sub X = 1/2 [ 4 - R(pi + 2)]...

    Another Polynomial Question

    You need to use the multiple root theorem So x =1 is double root of P(x) = x⁴+ax³+bx²-5x+1 and single root of its derivative P'(x) = 4x^3 + 3ax^2 + 2xb - 5 Hence 1 + a + b - 5 +1 = 0 -----> a+b = 3 (1) Hence 4 + 3a + 2b - 5 = 0 -----> 3a+2b = 1 (2) Solve simultaneously (1)x3 -(2) : b = 8 and...
