    urgent inverse trig q

    i have an assessment tomorrow and found this while revising prove that sin<sup>-1</sup>x = cosec<sup>-1</sup>(1/x) how do you prove that? and there was a similar one that asked you to draw a graph of cotx then use it to obtain a graph of the inverse, then write down a definition of inverse...

    Calculators - which are the best and what do you use?

    yep i agree with what everyone has said about the casio fx-82AU! its sooooo good and the display means you don't have to worry about putting in loads of brackets and you know exactly what you're putting in. it also has the Pol function which puts complex numbers into mod-arg form, plus its...

    polynomials/complex no's q

    from cambridge 4.4: show that the zeroes of P(x)=x<sup>4</sup>-x<sup>2</sup>+1 are included in the zeroes of x<sup>6</sup>+1. Hence factorise P(x) over R. first part is fine, i factorised it as a cubic. but how do you find roots, not including x=1, x=-1, of x^6+1? since it is an even power...

    confusing graphs question

    in fitz exercise 30a it asks you to graph y=sqrt ((cosx - 1)<sup>2</sup>) Can't you simplify this to y=cosx - 1 and graph that? But when I graphed it on my graphing program, I was wrong. I know Im missing something but I'm starting to get really confused about it - could someone clarify this...

    3D trig question

    This question is from the prelim maths in focus book (p272) - studying for half yearly. A cylinder with radius 4cm and perpendicular height 15cm is tilted so that it will just fit inside a 12cm high box. at what angle must it be tilted? Answer 16° 50' i have no idea where to start...
