1. Solve the equation

2. P (2ap, ap^2) and Q (2aq, aq^2) are 2 points on the parabola x^2= 4ay with parameter values p=4 and q=-6. Show that the lines OP and OQ are inclined at 45 degrees to each other.

3. Solve the inequality

4. Show that 2cos(A - B)sin(A+B)= sin2A + sin 2B

5. The polynomial eq has roots
a, a^2 and a^3

Find in terms of b,c and d

Show that

thanks.

@SpiralFlex

Error in question 1, should be 315 and 405.

Question 3 should be, 0 < x < 2

thanks- Just 3 questions im struggling with atm:

1. i) show that the tangent to the parabola at the point has equation i know how to do this, its just the second part

ii) tangents to the parabola at the points P and Q with parameter values t=p and t=2p respectively intersect at R. Find the Cartesian equation of the locus of R as P and Q move on the parabola.

2. P ( and Q are two points on the parabola

i) i know how to do this. Show that the chord PQ has equation (p+q)x - 2y = 2apq
ii) i dont know how to do this. If P and Q move on the parabola such that pq=1, show that the chord PQ produced always passes through a fixed point R on the y axis.

3. Solve 2sinx-3cosx=1 for to the nearest minute

Did you even try these? They are easy. If you can't do them, you should drop maths pronto.

These question is very familiar lol. Was it from the 2011 Independant paper ?

1. ii)















2. If pq = 1, (p+q)x - 2y = 2a

When x = 0,
Thus it always passes through the fixed point, R(0, -2a)

3.








And i'm sure you can go from there..

For question 3 i'm 100% sure they made you change this into t-method first before you solve it lol.
