    Tips for prelim trig?

    Recall formulas consistently throughout the day and u will memorise them eg. When u are doing nothing, think of trig identities, "double angles now, sin2A = 2sinAcosA, ok, cos2A = cos^2 A - sin^2 A = two other ones" If u can recall ALL trig identities, now start doing textbook questions to...

    Help with some maths questions please? (Basic Yr 10 q's)

    Q2. Axis of symmetry is found by: x = -b/2a Quadratic: y = ax^2 + bx + c So, y=x^2 + 6x - 9 a = 1, b = 6, c = -9 x = -b/2a x = -6/2(1) x = -3 Q3. Method 1: Sub x = -3 into the parabola Method 2: y = x^2 + 6x - 9 Complete the square, y = (x+3)^2 - 18...

    trigonometry and triangle questions.

    I am not sure about part (a) (maybe minimum displacement is x = 0)

    trigonometry and triangle questions.

    Q12) a) T = 2pi/n (and n= pi/8), so the period of this particle is 16seconds b) Max and min displacement, means max and min values of 'x'. By looking at the graph, we can see that the max and min values for displacement is x = 3 and x = -3 respectively (or if u wanna do it algebraically, find...

    \rightarrow \\ A_{PQR} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot PQ \cdot QR \\ = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 12 \cdot 16 \\\\ = 96 \rightarrow \\A_{QPR} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot QS \cdot PR \\ \\ ~~~~~~=\frac{1}{2}\cdot PR \cdot QS But A_{PQR} = A_{QPR}

    Get triangle PQS and QSR, combine them. The resultant area will be the same as triangle PQR

    They are the same triangle, look carefully, the 2 right-angled triangles are the SAME Well u can obviously see one triangle is PQR (with right angle on Q) The other triangle is QPR with right angle at S

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    Thanks, i'll check it out when i have some spare time

    Btw please do not look at the answer, it will stuff up ur thinking patterns If u cannot answer a question, try harder and make an AIM to work towards

    Look at the TWO BIG right-angled triangles Areas areas are the same, A_1 = A_2 \frac{1}{2}b_1h_1 = \frac{1}{2}b_2h_2 b_1h_1 = b_2h_2 12 x 16 = QR x PR QR = 192/PR Find PR using the glorious Pythagoras theorem

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    After HSC, I will go hardcore (or maybe i'll play once a week because it releases ALL my stress and relaxes me so much)
