x^3 - x + (3^.5) / 6 = 0

Can anyone solve this please ?

It is also given that this equation is equivalent to sin 3theeta = 0.75 .

Last question vectors can someone explain and do it completely
And does anyone know how to understand vectors quickly I don't know shit about them and have an exam in 2 days
There's a standard method to find the perp distance of a point from a line.
Write the equation of the line (4-2x, -9 + x, 9 - 2x)
Subtract the co-ordinates of the point ( 4 - 2x -3, -9 + x -8, 9 -2x -5) = (1-2x, -17 + x, 4 - 2x) ---> 1
this is perpendicular to the line
(1 - 2x, -17 + x, 4 - 2x) dot (-2, 1, -2) = 0
x = 3
Put this into 1
(-5, -14, -2)
Modulus of this is the distance.

This is a common type of question and almost always involves at least one dot product being equal to zero. In this case, the direction vector of the plane is perpendicular to the direction vector of the line since the line is on the plane. So (a,b,-3).(-2,1,-2) = 0
b = 2a - 6
we need another equation so use the point on the line (4,-9,9) in the equation of the plane (again, because the line is on the plane)
4a - 9b -27 -1 = 0
solve simultaneously.

x^3 - x + (3^.5) / 6 = 0

Can anyone solve this please ?

It is also given that this equation is equivalent to sin 3theeta = 0.75 .
Use sin3theta = 0.75 to calculate values of theta.
theta = 0.283
theta = 0.765
Now you have to use the equation given earlier. X = 2sin(theta)/sqrt3 with these 2 values of theta to get the first 2 solutions.
Further positive values of theta won't work because if you make a table of the function, you'll see that it keeps increasing after 0.8. So the third solution is for a negative value of theta.
theta = -1.329 and put this in X = 2sin(theta)/sqrt3 to get the last answer.

can someone please solve q9) (i) q8) (i) just the part of finding k and q7) (ii)
9)i) dy/dx = 2sin2x.2cos2x.cosx - sinx.sin^2(2x)
sinxsin^2(2x) = 2sin2x.2cos2x.cosx
sinx.sin2x = 4cos2x.cosx
tan2x.tanx = 4
(2tanx/1-tan^2x)*tanx = 4
6tan^2(x) = 4
tanx = sqrt(2/3)
x = 0.685

8)i) (2x^2)/(k-x^3) dx = 1/t dt
-2/3ln(k-x^3) = lnt + c
t = 1, x = 1
-2/3ln(k-1) = c
-2/3ln(k-x^3) = lnt - 2/3ln(k-1)
t = 4, x = 2
-2/3ln(k-8) = ln4 -2/3ln(k-1)
ln(k-8)^(-2/3) = ln4(k-1)^(-2/3)
((k-8)/(k-1))^(-2/3) = 4
(k-8)/(k-1) = 1/8
k = 9

7)ii) l a + ib -10i l^2 = 4 l a + ib -4i l ^2
l z l ^2 = zz*
(a + ib - 10i)(a - ib + 10i) = 4(a + ib -4i)(a - ib +4i)
(z -10i)(z* + 10i) = 4(z -4i)(z* + 4i)
zz* + 10zi -10z*i + 100 = 4zz* +16zi -16z*i + 64
3zz* + 6zi - 6zi - 36 = 0
zz* -2z*i + 2zi - 12 = 0

(a, 2, 1) . (1,2,2)/(3*sqrt(a^2 + 5)) = cos(90 - tan^-1(2))
(a + 6)^2 = 9(a^2 + 5)(cos(90 - tan^-1(2)))^2
a = 0 or 1.94

Can someone help me solve this question please :confused:
tan^(n+2) + tan^n = u^(n+2) + u^n
du/dx = sec^2(x)
dx = du/sec^2(x)
dx = du/1+tan^2(x)
dx = du/1 + u^2
New limits are 0 and 1 (tan(pi/4) and tan(0))
Int(0 to 1) ((u^(n+2) + u^n/1+u^2))
((u^n(1 + u^2)/(1+u^2)))
(u^n)
integrate
(u^n+1)/n+1
use limits
(1^(n+1)/n+1)

ii)a) (1 + tan^2(x))^2 - (1 + tan^2(x))
1 + 2tan^2(x) + tan^4(x) -1 - tan^2(x)
tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)
n = 2 so definite integral is 1/(2+1)

ii)b) rewrite it as
{tan^9(x) + tan^7(x)} + {tan^5(x) + tan^3(x)} + 4{(tan^7(x) + tan^5(x))}
you can use the result 1/n+1 three times with n = 7, n = 3 and n = 5 (each pair is in the curly brackets)
definite integral is (1/7+1) + (1/3+1) + 4(1/5+1)

(ii) All numbers must start with either 3 or 4 to be between 3000 and 5000 and end with 4 or 8 to be even numbers.
They can be like 3__4, 3__8 or 4__8. Cannot be 4__4 as digits aren't repeated.
Total available digits are 7 so remaining for the middle two digits are 5. There are 2 spaces so 5P2. This will be thrice as there are 3 combinations for first and last digits. Hence total numbers that can be made are 5P2*3=60.

(iii) Numbers can be 1-digit, 2-digit and 3-digit. All numbers must have 5 as last digit to be a multiple of 5 as 0 is not available. So there will be 1 1-digit number. 7 2-digit numbers as first digit of these numbers can be any one of the seven available digits as digits can be repeated so they will be 35, 45 etc. There will be 49 3-digit numbers as both first and second digits can be any of the seven available digits. These will be 485, 145 etc. Total are 1+7+49=57.

ii) split into 2 cases
1. Thousand digit is 3
1st digit: 1 choice (can only be 3)
4th digit: 2 choices ( can only be 4 or 8)
2nd digit: 5 choices(any of the remaining)
3rd digit: 4 choices(any of the remaining)
2. Thousand digit is 4
1st digit: 1 choice (only 4)
4th digit 1 choice (only 8)
2nd digit: 5 choices
3rd digit: 4 choices
Total = (2*5*4) + (5*4)

iii) Split into 3 cases:
1. 1 digit number: 1 choice (5 only)

2. 2 digit number:
2nd digit: 1 choice ( 5 only)
1st digit: 7 choices

3. 3 digit number
3rd digit: 1 choice
1st and 2nd digit: 7 choices each
Total = 1 + 7 + (7*7)

Can you show it by doing , like sending a pic.
