    NEED HELP IN THIS PROJECTILE MOTION QUESTION

    tan(30) = 1/sqrt(3)= opp/adj = rise/run Setting the origin at the cliff the slope is given by (1/sqrt(3))*x -50 = y The motion of the projectile is given by (-g*x^2)/100 + x = y Solve for x: (1/sqrt(3))*x -50 = (-g*x^2)/100 + x By applying the quadratic formula you will answer. Remember...

    Integral Calculus

    For q1 the upper bound doesn't matter as the derivative of a constant is zero. So an equivalent question is: - d/dx integral (2x^5-3)^6 dx As differentiation and integration are inverse operations the result is -(2x^5-3)^6 For q2 try the substitution 6sin(u) = x You can then use the...

    how to do this question- help

    We know from the special ratios sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2 Sine is defined on the unit circle as sin theta = y. The obtuse angle is 120 as the related angle of 120 is 60 degrees. Note that sine is positive in the second quadrant(ASTC). sin(120*2) = sin(240). The related angle of 240 degrees is 60...

    trig equation help!!! 2014 hsc mcq

    As Haruto mention tan pi/2 is undefined. This because of the definition. The definitions of trigonometric function from the unit circle are: tan theta = y/x (At pi/2, y = 1, x=0 therefore tan(pi/2) = 1/0 ) cos theta = x sin theta = y

    Need help in a math question

    I think I got it now. The lower quartile is referring to 25% (as in Q1 from box plot) and the upper quartile is referring to 75%(Q3). As Imaiyuki mentioned 1 standard deviation within the mean is approximately 68% of the data. Divide by 2 => 34% of data is above the mean and 34% below the...

    Optimisation?

    Mainly just know how to differentiate. Make sure you are able to solve word-problems e.g. maximising area enclosed by a fence, maximise the volume of a cardboard box etc. Make sure to communicate your working out correctly. Make sure you know to determine the concavity of a curve using the...

    How do you do these questions??

    Using the result of 11a) you can find sin A cos A = 23/32. This means 23 is the adjacent side and hypotenuse is 32 units long. Using Pythagoras theorem you can then find the value of the opposite side. Alternatively, you could use sin^theta + cos^2 theta = 1. I am assuming you have done...

    IPT question help- HSC Q6 (2019 paper)

    The size is given in bytes. Each variable size is given in bytes. So if take you the ASCII code you will see each character is 1 byte e.g. 0000000 contains 8 bits as there are 8 binary digits. This is equivalent to 1 byte as 8 bits = 1 byte. Each record contains 10+ 8+ 5 + 4 Bytes. There...

    Need help with a parametric equation question thanks

    x = 4*cos(theta) - sin(theta) Use the theorem: cos(theta + phi) = cos(theta)*cos(phi) - sin(theta)*sin(phi) => r*cos(theta + phi) = r*cos(theta)*cos(phi) - r*sin(theta)*sin(phi) Equate x = r*cos(theta)*cos(phi) - r*sin(theta)*sin(phi) => r*cos(phi) = 4, r*sin(phi) =1 Therefore...

    any suggestions about how to approach this question on continuous pdf?

    lim x->0^+ (1/x + a) = infinity lim x-> 0^- (-x+a) = a Therefore there is no value of "a" that makes the function continuous as the left and right one-sided limits are different.

    What English Paragraph Structure Acronym Should I Be Using???

    I did 8 quotes for each essay, but I am not sure how many quotes you should aim for? You should find the marking criteria on NESA past HSC exams if you need.

    Am i blind or does UTS not have a B comp sci/B Engineering Double degree

    The degree does not exist. If you are interested in doing B Eng (Hons) B Computer Science from UTS it might be best to contact someone. That way you can get an idea of how many points are for recognition of prior learning. You can see there is no B engineering B Computer Science degree by...

    Can someone explain to me how to do this probablily question

    I think this question involves hypergeometric distribution as number cards decease by 1 as each is dealt. i.e. P(?AAAA) = 48/52 * 4/51 * 3/50 * 2/49 * 1/48 Maybe you could consider the cases: ?AAAA, A?AAA, AA?AA, AAA?A, AAAA? and find the probability that way. i.e. Find the value of...
