    Projectile Motions Question

    In every projectile motion question i do i derive the 6 equations of motions Let v be the velocity of the particle x'' = 0 x' = vcos (0) = v x = vt y'' = -10 y' = -10t + sin (0) = -10t y = -5t^2 + 6.2 I urge u to please understand how to derive these important equations, if u cant find...

    Easy Help with Exponentials?

    y'' = e^x(x+1)+e^x Apply the distributive law. \therefore y'' = xe^x + e^x + e^x \\ \\ \therefore y''= xe^x +2e^x Factorise e^x out. \therefore y''=e^x (x+2)

    polynomials questions

    1. Since the the degree of the polynomial is 3, it'll have 3 real roots $ Let roots be \alpha, \beta, \gamma "One of the roots....is equal to the sum of the other 2 roots" $This simply means that \alpha = \beta + \gamma Use sum of roots one/two at a time and product of roots and use...

    Polynomials and Trig Help

    tan (135) = -tan (180 - 135) = -tan (45) = -1 $Let tan(67$\frac{1}{2}) = t \\ \\ tan(135) = tan(2t) \\ -1 = \frac{2t}{1-t^2} ($applying part a and using the double angle formulae for tan) \\ \therefore t^2 - 2t -1 = 0 t^2 - 2t - 1 = 0 \\ \Delta = 8 \\ \\ \therefore t = 1\pm \sqrt{2} \\ \\...

    what??? i never knew this.... if u can quote it, here is my method: Yes u can. It's called the method of Congruency (well this is what i call it) Take out the general tangent formula of an ellipse: \frac{xx_1}{a^2}+ \frac{yy_1}{b^2} = 1 \\ \\ a = 3, b = 2 \\ \\ \therefore...

    Differentiation of LOG FUNCTIONS

    For (a) Let y = 3^x y = e^{ln(3^x)} \\ \\y = e^{xln3} \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = ln(3)e^{xln3} \\ \\\frac{dy}{dx} = ln(3)e^{ln(3^x)} \\ \\\frac{dy}{dx} = ln(3)3^x

    Differentiation of LOG FUNCTIONS

    Use this: a = e^{ln(a)} Then use: \frac{d(e^{f(x)})}{dx} = f'(x)e^{f(x)} \\ \\ $Note: f(x) must be a linear function
