    inverse trig help

    Thank you, I sort of get it, so that means if cosx is a negative, the root of cos^2(x) is still a positive cosx but the numerator is a negative cosx so when times with -1 = +1 right? Can you show me how to write the answer in exam form

    Binomial confusion... help

    ok, so this is the question: to find the independent term of x where (x+(1/x))^40)(x-(1/x))^40) when I didn't factorise this and working with the first bracket and then times the second bracket , it's this 40C20 * 40C20 yet if i factorise it into (x^2- x^(-2)) the answer is 40C20. Wth... can...

    help with super easy integration questions!

    make the volume spin at y axis x^2=a^2 - y^2 where limits are y= a and y= a/2 integrate that: a^2y- y^3/3 then substitute a and a/2 subtract them and you get 5a^3pi/24

    parametrics help

    Show that the locus of M is a parabola and find its vertex and focal length, where M is (ap, a+ap^2) How do you the focal length and vertex after I worked out to be this: x^2=ay-a^2? Can anyone help me out... thx

    Binomial Probability help please.

    Its 5C2(0.5)^2(0.5)^3= 5/16 If p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure for an event, then the probability of r successes in n independent events is given by P r successes nCr P^r q^(n-r)

    Please helppp :)

    In part 3, should it the 2 equations be 2-2a-b=0 and 6-4a+b=0 , therefore a=2 and b=2?

    number arrangements help

    well, last digit with 3 or 9 may not be divisible by 3, for example, 13 is not, nor 19... the only method i can find is what i did, for example the sum of digit 138 is 12 which is divisible by 3, there for, all arrangement of 138 is divisible by 3... like 381,813 etc. But this method is really...

    number arrangements help

    number less than 4000 using 1,3,5,8,9 how many of them are divisible by 3 I did this question in a long way, using that the sum of digit equals is divisible by 3 like 1359, there is 2*3! number which is divisible by 3. can someone show me a short method for this? Thanks
