Guys is it sufficient to do past papers and variants from year 2009 to 2012 to get an A ? I am talking about Math As .

Nothing is ever enough. You can't guarantee that doing all the papers will get you an A. The main thing in maths is concepts.. If your concepts are clear, you'd get an A.. I'd say if you grasp all the concepts from the past papers and variants .. and you think you can score around 60 or so in P1 then sure..

And most importantly always remember Allah.. and offer prayers.. And surely he will reward you :)

You are right , thank youu :) i will incha'allah .

When an equation of a plane and equation of a line is given, how do we determine whether the line intersects the plane or not? I know how to find the point of intersection, but if we're asked to tell whether they intersect or not?

When there is a line and plane there are two possibilities,

either, intersection or parallel

If parallel, then the normal and line have 0 scalar product! If not then intersecting!

iii .. from ii you get... 2(x-2)^2 + 6

meaning minimum point is at (2,6)

so x is 2 when y is minimum..

f(2)= 2(2^2) -8(2) + 14
f(x)≥6 (Since it's the minimum value)


iv.. the smallest value of A for which G has an inverse.. would be the x-cordinate of the minimum point.. A= 2

v)

g^-1(x)= 2(x-2)^2 + 6
y= 2(x-2)^2 + 6
y-6 = 2(x-2)^2
(y-6)/2 = (x-2)^2
√[(y-6)/2] = (x-2)
2+ √[(y-6)/2] = x

g^-1(x) = 2+ √[(x-6)/2]

iii) Since you did ii, the vertex of the graph is (-b, c) as in the equation a(x+b)+k... and since a>0, then the graph is opening upwards, so y is >= (greater or equal) c.
iv) I'm gonna guess that this is the x value of the vertex, because at the vertex, a horizontal line would intersect it only at one point. The inverse of f is a function only when it is a one to one function.
v) Meh dunno really.

Brilliant. Much Appreciated Mate :)

Are the graphs of sin inverse, cos inverse and tan inverse a part of the syllabus for Paper 3? Should we know how to make these graphs?
