    HSC 1993 2U Integration Question

    (No diagram available) In the diagram, A(-1,1) and B(2,4) are the points of intersection of the parabola y=x^2 with the line y=x+2. The point P(t,t^2) is a variable point on the parabola below the line. (i) Find the area of the parabolic segment APB. Found it: A = 9/2 units^2 (ii)...

    HELP~ I suck at MX1 - crap student here.

    Diagram (unavailable) shows point P(t,t^2) and Q (1-t, (1-t)^2) on parabola y = x^2. R is intersection of tangents to parabola at P & Q. (I've done the previous parts to the question I'm asking so I'll skip those) Given that tangents intersect at R(1/2, t-t^2) (already proved it...

    Applications of Calculus.

    A printed page of a book is to have side margins of 1cm, top margin of 2cm and a bottom margin of 3cm. It is to contain 200cm^2 of printed matter. Find the dimensions of the page if the area of paper used is to be a minimum. Working so far: A = (x+5)(y+2) xy = 200 x = 200/y A(y) =...

    Rivalry's Physics Problems

    Yeah, I'll post any problems I have in this thread. If you were to represent, using a graph, time of flight (t) vs launch velocity (u), would it be a horizontal line? If you were to represent, using a graph, horizontal range vs launch velocity (u), would it be a straight line with a...

    Rivalry's Parametrics Troubles

    I got answers but not too sure if it's right so wanted to confirm: Find the Cartesian equation of the following set of points: 1. [a(p+q), apq], given that p - q = 1 + pq My answer: x^2 - a^2 = y(y+6a) 2. [t - (4/t), (t^2/2) + (8/t^2)] My answer: x^2 = 2(y-4)

    The Geometry of the Parabola

    P(2ap,ap^2) is any point on the parabola x^2 = 4ay other than its vertex. The normal at P meet the parabola again at Q. Show that the x-coordinate of Q is one of the roots of the quadratic equation: . Then find the co-ordinates of Q. Do we use the quadratic formula to find the x-value of Q or...
