2x^2− 12x + 13 We have to do complete square method.

10i)

so, 2(x^2 -6x) +13

2(x-3)^2+13

2(x^2-6x+9) +13

2x^2-12x+18 (to remove 18 subtract it from 18 and add 13)

2(x-3)^2 -5 hence, a = 2 b = -3 and c = -5 :)


10ii)

graph has line of symmetry on x = 3 so you'll think that A should be 3, but see 2 is out the bracket so multiply it with 3 you get A as 6 :)


10iii)

from eqn 2(x-3)^2 - 5 put x values as zero and 6, you get range is -5 to 13 :)

Thanks but i still don't get the completing square question, any possible way you can break it down further?

Like I thought we had to take the coefficient of X, divide it by 2 and square it then add it to both sides..? but i dont understand what you did

I´ve got a question and would appreciate some help.

For Q9(i), if you are trying to find the normal to the plane using vector product, why if you do AC x AB or CA x BA you get a wrong answer, but if you use any other two vectors, you get the correct normal to the plane? The only difference for the normal to the plane I get using AC x AB or CA x BA is a minus sign for the k coordinate, instead of a positive one.

I would also like if someone could clarify me how to use vector product correctly, ie. what requisites should the vectors you are going to use for vector product have?

Thank you in advance.

Please... help me with these two questions. (Summer 2007, Paper 3)
