Brain malfunctioning atm. Someone please help.
Thanks, but I got that part. I'm more interested in the second part (which I'm having trouble with)bi) For tangent at P, y = tx - at^2
For tangent at Q, y = ux - au^2
solving simultaneously
tx - at^2 = ux - au^2
tx - ux = -au^2 + at^2
x(t-u) = -a(q^2 - t^2)
x(t-u) = -a (u-t) (u+t)
x = a (u+t)
substitute x in y = ux - au^2
y = ua(u+t) - aq^2
= u^2a + uat - au^2
= uat
the tangents intersect at (a(u+t), uat)
lol but thanks for taking the time to help out, i appreciate it.aww it took me so long to do that on eqn editor. if you still don't have an answer for it in the morning i'll help out, but it is way too far past my bedtime.
umm do you think your head will be ok if i asked you to just run through the method?umm second part, t&u are equal to -2 and 3, then show by distance formula that two sides are equal. my head is hurting too much to type the whole solution out.
Haha, I do that all the time!sorry, i fell straight to sleep almost with my computer on my lap. i still had notes and books everywhere on my bed. haha.
sorry!
haha, not to worry, I 'saw' it as soon as I posted it anyhow.sorry, i fell straight to sleep almost with my computer on my lap. i still had notes and books everywhere on my bed. haha.
sorry!
i) angle COQ = angle TQB = 90 (data)Stuck again, help
Sorry to bother but where's angle COQ?i) angle COQ = angle TQB = 90 (data)
therefore APTQ is a cyclic quad (exterior angle of cyclic quad = interior opposite angle)
therefore angle TAQ = angle TPQ (angles standing on the same arc = )
CPQB is a cyclic quad (CPB and CQB are semicircles with diameter BC)
therefore angle BPQ = angle TPQ = angle BCQ (angles standing on same arc =)
therefore angle TAQ = angle QCB
ii) Therefore AQRC is a cyclic quadrilateral (angles on the same are = )
Therefore angle TQC = angle ARC = 90 (angles on the same arc = )
Thus AR perpendicular to CB
Knowing latex would be nice but cbf learning haha. Hope that helps
I think he means angle APT.Sorry to bother but where's angle COQ?
Whatever that is: APTQ is cyclic because opposite angles supplementary:I think he means angle APT.
