Thanks guys. Help with these questions please. 1. Differentiate sin(4x)cosec^2(x) +8cos^2(x) with respect to x. 2. Find the value(s) of p, q and r in the following equations: p - q - r = -4 p^2 - q^2 - r^2 = -12 p^3 - q^3 - r^3 = -34 |

Ghettoguru: I'm kind of busy now, so maybe other gurus will help with the second question or when I'm free, I'll take care of it. Question 2 To differentiate the funtion lets simplify it first => sin(4x)cosec^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) = (sin 4x/sin^2x) + 8cos^2 x Let split the function into two parts (sin 4x/sin^2x) and 8cos^2 x To differentiate the first part, lets use quotient rule => u = sin 4x, v= sin^2 x du/dx = 4cos4x and dv/dx = 2sin x cos x = sin 2x f'(x) = [v(du/dx) - u(dv/dx)]/vĀ² So the derivative of sin 4x/sin^2x => [sin^2 x ( 4cos 4x) - sin 4x (sin 2x)]/sin^4 x = [4cos 4x sin^2x - sin 4x sin 2x]/sin^4 x Now lets differentiate the second part 8cos^2 x and add it to the derivative of the first part => using chain rule, the derivative of 8cos^2 x = 16cosx (-sin x) = -16cos x sin x = - 8(2cos x sin x) = - 8sin 2x Adding the derivative of the first and second part of the function yields => = { [4cos 4x sin^2x - sin 4x sin 2x]/sin^4 x} - 8sin 2x = cosec^4 x [4cos 4x sin^2x - sin 4x sin 2x] - 8sin 2x = 4cosec^2 x cos 4x - cosec^4 x sin 4x sin 2x - 8sin 2x ^ the above could be simplified in terms of cos x or sin x or both, but since there is no instruction to go further, I'll stop there. :. The derivative of sin(4x)cosec^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) is => = 4cosec^2 x cos 4x - cosec^4 x sin 4x sin 2x - 8sin 2x |

(a + bx)^ c = (nC0)a^c + (nc1)a^c-1 x + (nc1)a^c-2 x2 + (nc1)a^c-3 x3 + .... hence the equations c * a^(c-1) = -12 ----(1) c(c-1)/2 * a^(c-2) = 60 --------(2) c(c-1)(c-2)/6 * a^(c-3) = -120 --------(3) This is really a madt equation But I can hazard the following guess a is a negative number c is postive The rest I leave to my gurus PS I think we have had enough of trig differentiation and identities if u read through what has been done so far you should be able to go some distance Then where you get stuc, bring to the thread |

You made me sweat some... Based on the binomial theorem each term of (a+bx)^c can be expressed as; c!/[(c-k)!k!]*a^(c-k)*(bx)^k Where k= 0, 1, 2, ..., c I am going to use "*" as multiplied by. Now, 2nd term : c!/[(c-1)!1!]*a^(c-1)*(bx)^1 3rd term : c!/[(c-2)!2!]*a^(c-2)*(bx)^2 4th term : c!/[(c-3)!3!]*a^(c-3)*(bx)^3 Sifting out the coefficients c!/[(c-1)!1!]*a^(c-1)*(b)^1=-12......eq1 c!/[(c-2)!2!]*a^(c-2)*(b)^2=60......eq2 c!/[(c-3)!3!]*a^(c-3)*(b)^3=-160......eq3 Now combining equation 1 and 2 c!/[(c-2)!2!]*a^(c-2)*(b)^2=-5[c!/[(c-1)!1!]*a^(c-1)*(b)^1] ***remember -5x-12=60 where -12 is c!/[(c-1)!1!]*a^(c-1)*(b)^1*** Now combining equation 2 and 3 c!/[(c-3)!3!]*a^(c-3)*(b)^3=-(8/3)[c!/[(c-2)!2!]*a^(c-2)*(b)^2] ***-(8/3)x60=-160*** Simplifying; (c-1)!/(c-2)!2!*b=-5*a >>(c-1)(c-2)!/(c-2)!2!*b=-5*a ***(c-1)!=(c-1)(c-2)!*** >>(c-1)/2*b=-5*a Next, (c-2)!2!/(c-3)!3!*b=-(8/3)*a >>(c-2)(c-3)!2!/(c-3)!3!*b=-(8/3)*a >>(c-2)/3*b=-(8/3)*a we devide this two results to eliminate a and b (akara and bread) [(c-1)/2*b=-5*a]/[(c-2)/3*b=-(8/3)*a] >>5c-10=4c-4 >>c=6 yo yo!!!! Uh uh Now 2nd term : 6!/5!*a^5*b=-12 3rd term : 6!/4!2!*a^4*b^2=60 4th term : 6!/3!3!*a^3*b^3=-160 4th term looks promising 6!/3!3!*a^3*b^3=-160 >>a^3*b^3=-160/(6!/3!3!) >>a^3*b^3=-8 >>(ab)^3=-8 >>ab=-2 feed it back b=-2/a, 6!/5!*a^5*(-2/a)=-12 >>6*5!/5!*a^4=6 >>a=1 >>b=-2 so... a=1, b=-2, c=6 3 Likes |

Find d equation of L?...God bless Question 1 Now we have to rewrite the straight line eqn x + y = 7 x + y - 7 = 0 ................(1) For any straight line Ax+By+c=0 and a point (m,n) on same plane, the perpendicular distance between the point and the plane is given by; d = (lAm+Bn+Cl)/ā(A^2 + B^2) obviously, A=1 , B=1 , C+ -7 , m=4 , n=5 therefore; d = (l4+5-7l)/ā(1^2 +1^2) d = l2l/ā(2) = 1.414units(approx) Question 2 here, the main task is to find the coordinates of the point on line AB, where the line L cuts it in the ratio 2:3 Let the coordinate of the point be P(x,y) For the line AB; A(x1,y1) = A(-1,4) B(x2,y2) = B(4,-1) and the ratio m:n = 2:3 x = (mx2 + nx1)/(m+n) x = [2*4 + 3*(-1)]/(2+3) x = 5/5 =1 y = (my2 + ny1)/(m+n) y = [2*(-1) + 3*4)/(2+3) y =10/5 =2 hence the coordinates of the point p(x,y) = P(1,2) next is to find the gradient of the line AB m1 = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-1-4)/[4-(-1)] = -5/5 = -1 let the gradient of the line L perpendicular to AB be m2 for any two perpendicular lines, m1*m2 = -1 or m2= -1/m1 m2= -1/-1 = 1 the equation of a straight line given gradient m2 and p(1,2) can also be written as; yo-y = m2(xo-x) hence, for line L yo-2 = 1(xo-1) yo =xo-1+2 yo = xo+1 OR simply y=x+1 thanks 1 Like |
