4U Revising Game (3 Viewers)

[ronnknee]

Don't you just feel like doing maths for fun, but when you go onto BOS there aren't any questions? Well you can here now. Maths is fun after all =)

Rules:
1. Attempt the question from the newest poster. If you can do it, post the solution up (this includes working out). Remember to leave another question for someone else to solve
2. If there's an alternative method to a question (and is significantly more efficient) that is previously done, quote the question and post the solution; don't leave another question though
3. Challenging questions are encouraged but make sure that you can do them yourself
4. Since it's still early in the year, I assume that most of the grade haven't touched mechanics at school yet, so try stay out of that topic
5. Questions must be within the HSC syllabus

[Undermyskin]

(3+2i)(5+4i) = 7 + 22i (1)
(3-2i)(5-4i) = 7 - 22i (2)

Since (1) x (2) = 7^2 - 22^2 i^2 = 7^2 + 22^2

The prime factors are the 4 brackets given. (?)

Note: u (n) is the 'n' th value of 'u'

 

[conics2008]

Undermy skin, i havn't done harder 3unit.. ronnkee sorry the girl posted up the answers.. ill post an Conics question << My favourite topic xD

The point P{acosx,bsinx} is any point on the ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 with focus S.

The point M is the midpoint of the interval SP.

Show that as P moves on the ellipse, M lies on another ellipse whose centre is midway between the origin O and the focus S.

This is the question, I will give hints, you may assume focus S(ae,0) S'(-ae,0) and Origin (0,0)

Good Luck.. PS I already know how to do this

 

[ronnknee]

Questions:
u(1)= 1
u(n) = (2u(n-1)^3 + 27)/3u(n-1)^2 for n >= 2

Show: u(n)>3 for n >= 2
u(n+1) < u(n) for n >=2

Note: u (n) is the 'n' th value of 'u'

I'm guessing it's a mathematical induction question since we have to show for n >= 2

When n = 2,
u(2)
= (2 + 27) / 3
= 29 / 3
> 3
Therefore it is true for n = 2

Assume it is true for n = k
ie. u(k)
= (2[u(k-1)]^3 + 27) / 3([u(k-1)]^2
> 3

Consider n = k + 1
u(k + 1)
= (2[u(k)]^3 + 27) / 3[u(k)]^2

The problem is, if I sub in u(k) > 3, I get something like 3 > 3

 

[ronnknee]

The equation x^3 + qx + r = 0 has roots A, B and C. Find the expression for
A^5 + B^5 + C^5

 

[undalay]

the point P(x₀,y₀) lies on the hyperbola x² / a² - y² / b² = 1

(i) Show that the acute angle @ between the asymptote satisfies

tan@ = 2ab / (a² - b²)

(ii) If M and N are the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from P to the asymptotes, show that MP.NP = a²b² / (a² + b²)

(iii) hence find the area of triangle PMN

 

[independantz]

The equation x^3 + qx + r = 0 has roots A, B and C. Find the expression for
A^5 + B^5 + C^5

Since A,b and C are the roots of the eq, they satisfie they eq.

therefore, A^3=-qA-r
similarly, B^3=-qB-r
similarly, C^3=-qC-r

A^5=-qA^3-rA^2
B^5=-qB^3-rB^2
C^5=-qC^3-rC^2

therfore, A^5+b^5+c^5=-q(A^3+B^3=C^3)-r(A^2+B^2+C^2)


then you keep subbing in until you get it completely in terms of r and q , however it takes to long to type so i cbf.

conics2008 should be able to do this without a problem yea?

 

[undalay]

This is a slightly modified question from my half yearlyy.

 

[namburger]

This is a slightly modified question from my half yearlyy.

Why make it harder than it already than it is. The question was originally prove that the area = ......
Without it, i would of gotten it wrong lool

 

[namburger]

while we wait for conics:

evaluate the following integrals

e
|
| ln(x) dx
|
1

1
|
| tanx . ln (x^2 + e) dx
|
-1

1.
u= ln (x)
du = dx/x

dv = dx
v = x

e
|
| ln(x) dx = [x ln x - Integrate(dx)]
|
1

= [xln x - x] from e to 1
= 1

2.
1
|
| tanx . ln (x^2 + e) dx
|
-1

=
1
|
|tanx . ln (x^2 + e) + tan-x . ln (x^2 + e) dx
|
0

=
1
|
| 0 dx
|
0

=0

 

[undalay]

|
| 1 / (1 + sinx) dx
|

|
| 1-sinx / (1 - sin^2x) dx
|

|
| 1-sinx / cos^2 x dx
|

|
| sec^2 x - integral sinx / cos^2 x dx
|

= tanx + c1 + integral cos^-2 d (cosx)
= tanx - sec x + c2

 

[ronnknee]

1
|
| tanx . ln (x^2 + e) dx
|
-1

The more efficient way is to declare that it's an odd integral and say it's 0, instead of actually integrating it

Let f(x) = tan x . ln (x^2 + e)
f(-x) = tan -x . ln ([-x]^2 + e)
= - tan x . ln (x^2 + e)
= -f(x)

Therefore f(x) is an odd function
Therefore, the integral = 0

Haha guys, remember to leave questions behind after completing one that's not done before

 

[namburger]

odd function in the integral

try:

|
| 1 / (1 + sinx) dx
|

let t = tan (x/2)
dt = (1/2)(sec^2 (x/2) ) dx
= (1/2) ( 1+t^2) dx

Therefore, dx = 2dt/ (1 + t^2)


|
| 1 / (1 + sinx) dx
|

=
|
| 1/ [1 + (2t)/ (1+ t^2)] . 2dt/ (1 + t^2) since sin x = 2t/(1+t^2)
|

=
|
| 2 / (t+1)^2 upon expansion
|

= -2/ (t+1)
= -2/ ( tan x/2 + 1)

 

[Mark576]

Using t=tan(x/2):
int. dx/(1+sinx)
= int. [2dt/(1+t²)]/[1+(2t/(1+t²))]
= int. 2dt/(t²+2t+1)
= 2[int. dt/((t+1)²)]
= -2/(t+1) + c
= -2/(tan(x/2) +1) + c

Alternatively:

int. dx/(1+sinx)
Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by [1-sinx]:
I = int. dx(1-sinx)/cos²x
= int. sec² dx - int. tanxsecx dx
= tanx - secx + c

 

[ronnknee]

Edit:
Okay, my solution to the volumes question is wrong as I interpreted the question incorrectly
This solution would fit the question "Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the ellipse x^2/16 + y^2/4 = 1 around the y axis using the method of slicing"

End edit

I think that's right if I'm interpreting the question correctly


Int[1 / {x.root(1 + x^2)}]

 

[namburger]

Int[1 / {x.root(1 + x^2)}]

let u^2 = 1 + x^2
2u du = 2x dx
dx = u du/ x

Int [1 / {x.root(1 + x^2)}] . [u du/x]
= du / x^2 upon expansion
= du / (u^2 -1)

du / (u^2 -1) = A/(u-1) + B/(u-1)
= 1/2 int [1/(u-1)] -1/2 int [1/(u+1)] by use of partial fractions
= 1/2 ln [sqrt (1+x^2)-1] -1/2 ln [sqrt (1+x^2)+1] + C

Undalay's conics question still needs doing
Complex no.: Sketch the locus of the point z:
arg [(z-5)/(z+1)] = pi/4. Find its cartesian equation

 

[pLuvia]

How many arrangements of 4 letters can be made using the letters of the words ZAPOPAN PARAGON?

 

[ronnknee]

AAAA
PPP
OO
NN
R
G
Z

Well this is a good way to start, by first grouping the letters by the frequency and then determining the cases
It'll involve a lot of cases I'm guessing

I shall try this later tonight
