    You once had to prove that Sinx/Cosx = Tanx, but that's simple enough.
    When? and how do you prove that??

    Sin = O/H
    Cos = A/H
    Tan = O/A

    Sin/Cos = (O/H)/(A/H) = O/A = Tan

    Questions about June 09:

    For question 6.b I used a different method, do I still get the marks? I found out the equation of PQ and showed that the centre lies on the line.

    Question 7.ii) I don't understand how they got 318.6.

    Thanks.
    You should still get the marks for 6b);

    7ii) 4sinx = 3tanx

    4sinx - 3sinx/cosx = 0
    4sinxcosx - 3sinx = 0
    sinx(4cosx - 3) = 0

    sinx = 0; cosx = 3/4

    x = 0; x = 180

    or x = 41.4; x = (360-41.4) = 318.6

    I get confused with the Geometric series thing when it goes into banking/investment ._.
    Do i just multiply it by the decimal multiplyer, to the power of years?

    Re: Official C2 Revision thread : Edexcel - 9th June 2010
    For the June 2005 paper what is the next step after
    2p(x)=-q(x)
    66p²(x²)=11q(x²)

    How do you work out p and q? I don't understand the method in the markscheme. I know it has something to do with simultaneous equations.

    Can someone help me?
