A chute for unloading a transport plane has the side-view shown by

i) Find the equation for the inverse: [COMPLETED]

(I got

)

ii) Engineers are modelling a new design for the chute: [UNCOMPLETED]

, where
is found in i) above.

Express the rule for this curve in the form:

, where r is a positive integer.

I can't for the life of me see how I can simplify

! Help please

Thanks,

So are all the conditions I posted correct and complete in their reasons?

#256 Re: Help Me ! » Help!!!!!!!! » 2009-02-27 22:29:00

7x6 = 6x7

7x8 = 8x7

If you know one of them then you know both of them! As for 8x8, you have to learn it!

Can somebody please check my list of conditions for certain quadrilaterals or suggest some more possibilities? Please remember they must be applicable to vectors. Thanks!

To prove quadrilateral is a …
Square:
• Opposite sides congruent and all sides meet at right angles.
• Opposite sides congruent and diagonals are perpendicular.
• Diagonals are perpendicular and of the same length
Rhombus:
• Diagonals are perpendicular
• Opposite sides congruent
Rectangle:
• All sides right angles
Parallelogram:
• Opposite sides are congruent
• Diagonal bisect each other.
Trapezium:
• One pair of congruent sides
Cyclic Quadrilateral
• Opposite angles are complementary.

I don't understand why that makes

invalid. Also I don't understand your argument from a 'shape' perspective. I am already familiar with the shape of the cotangent graph.

Nobody seems to be able to answer this question, not even my math teacher.

Is cot(x) continuous at its intercepts?

Argument 1: Yes, because

Argument 2: No, because

, which is undefined.

What is correct?

I don't mind that it's at Rod Laver Arena, what I mean is that they are protesting the mourning...

Westboro Baptist Church says they are going to picket the mourning ceremony at Rod Laver Arena. Gosh I hate those people so much sad

I was looking for techniques to use to solve products of trig expressions so I found a problem on by tony123 which led me here to the above solutions

With Jane's solution, I don't understand what you do with the sextic equation in the end to find the product of the terms.

And with TPH's solution, I don't understand why you can assume the solutions are

and also why

when previously it is stated that

#266 Re: Help Me ! » Normal Distribution Problem? » 2009-02-04 23:39:20

Let X be the variable with E(X) = 52.3 and Sd(X) = 19.357. Let Y be the variable with E(Y) = 38.5 and Sd(Y) = 20.41

Then consider X-Y. Assuming X-Y follows a normal distribution, you can work out

and

Once you have both of them, solve

to find the probability that X is greater than Y.

#267 Re: Help Me ! » Normal Distribution Problem? » 2009-02-03 19:04:28

I know but what do you want to do with the graphs? What does the question ask you to do?

#268 Re: Help Me ! » Simultaneous Equations » 2009-02-03 02:22:47

1) Substitute the value of y into the second equation:

Then substitute these values of x back into the second equation to solve for y.

2) Sub y into the first equation:

Then substitute these values of x back into the first equation to find the corresponding values of y.

Try the GAT, it's very similar to an IQ test (ok maybe not an IQ test, but definitely an aptitude test)
