    A very simple harmonic motion question

    x = A sin (nt) v = An cos (nt) when t = 0, v = V .'. V = An A = V/n since the particle momentarily comes to rest at the amplitude of the motion, the particle first comes to rest after traveling the distance of the amplitude i.e. V/n

    polynomials question

    treat the 3 as 1 person so the total arrangements will be 17! and also include the 2 possibilities: 1) john, sue, ray 2) ray, sue, john so the total number of ways = 17! x 2 probability = 17! x 2 / 19! = 1/171

    A weird locus question.

    let (x0, y0) denote a point which lies on the circle. i.e. x0^2 + y0^2 = 16 -----(1) the circle cuts the x axis at A (+4, 0) midpoint has parameters: x = (x0 + 4) /2 => x0 = 2x + 4 -----(2) y = y0 /2 => y0 = 2y -----(3) sub (2) and (3) into (1): (2x + 4)^2 + (2y)^2 = 16

    A weird locus question.

    let x0 denote the horizontal distance from the wall to the base of the ladder, and y0 denote the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the ladder. length of the ladder is 6m which implies: x02 + y02 = 62 -----(1) the midpoint has parameters: x = x0/2 => x0 = 2x -----(2) y = y0/2...

    Trigonometric Equations needed

    Re: 回复: Re: Trigonometric Equations needed for RHS use the sums to products formula for sines sin A + sin B = 2 sin[(A + B) / 2] cos[(A - B) / 2] for LHS factorise the 2 out and use double angle formula

    Half angle question

    LHS = sin2(x/2) - 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2) + cos2(x/2) - 1 = - 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2) (red parts add to give 1) we know: sin(2x) = 2 sinx cosx, sub x = a/2 sin a = 2 sin (a/2) cos (a/2) hence - 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2) = - sinx = RHS
