mathematics extension

  1. A

    I dont understand the working out in the first line

    Like I understand both curves intersect at x as they are the inverse and its way too hard to find the inverse but using x instead of the inverse wont give u the correct shaded area

    How to find the shortest distance between two lines ?

    The question basically is: Find the shortest distance between lines r = i+2j+3k + lambda (2i+j+4k) and r = 2i+4j+5k + mu (3i+4j+5k). I don't get these sort of questions and I really need help. Can someone give me a solution that doesn't involve the use of matrices please.

    Can anyone please provide some feedback on my proof

    The question was asking: Prove the following statement using either direct or contrapositive proof: If n is an integer then 4 does not divide n^2-3 Here is my working out: let n^2 - 3 = 4m By way of contradiction assume n^2 - 3 is rational, ie; n^2 - 3 = a/b (BTW in the funky looking...

    Integration Question

    I came across an integral that my teacher gave me to do. I have an answer but am unsure if my answer is correct. Other softwares (wolfram alpha and symbolab) are giving me different answers, but I suspect they are algebraically equivalent since they probably have different constants of...

    Proof Question

    I am just wondering if anyone can have a look at my solution to the following proof question: Question: "Prove by contradiction that there exists no 'n' that is an element of the natural numbers, such that n^2 + 2 is divsible by 4" My Solution: By way of contradiction assume their exists...

    Integration Question

    I am pretty confused with my solution to this integration proof question. I feel like it isn't the right way to prove it. d/dx (uv) = u(dv/dx)+v(du/dx) take the integral with respect to x of both sides: uv = ∫ u(dv/dx ) dx + ∫ v(du/dx) dx therefore, ∫ u(dv/dx ) dx = uv - ∫ v(du/dx)...

    Need help on a math exam question

    I would be grateful for any ideas on this question :) , I know the use of the difference between cubes is used but how do you proceed from there?
