For 48, all I did was sub 3, 3.5 ect into the y= equation to get my values... then i subbed those values into the trapezium equation with 0.5 for h...

49.. ahhhh thanks

i did y = 12x + 3, 12x^2+9

b, dy/dx+ -9x , y=-2x^3-9x


What answer do you get for 48?

For 49,
y = 12x + 3 is a correct example of an increasing function.

But y=12x^2+9 isn't a correct example.

For 49b,
y=-2x^3-9x is a correct example of a decreasing function.

But i don't understand what you mean by, dy/dx+ -9x.

For 48, I got 2.5123.. as a final answer

ok, y = 14x + 14 instead

and dy/dx = -9x , I could always do -x^2 -9

For 50, is it log x against log y?

Yes, i am here, but i am also working on my own work right now, so i am not able to help you.

For 48, you have got the right answer.

For 49a,
Your two examples, y = 12x + 3 and y=14x+14, are correct.

For 49b,
Both are wrong. we don't need to write dy/dx here.

One example can be, y=-2x+1, here the gradient is -2, so its a decreasing function.

I am busy, so can't help you on Q50 now.

O.k, all i need to know is what to plot (log y against log x?)then i can do the rest myself...

Assuming t and r are constants:
If y= tx^r

logy = logt + rlogx ->

logy = rlogx + logt

Y = MX + C

Yes?

So what can you conclude?

Its going to be a straight line, so I would plot logy against log x?

Yeah, you would need to convert your values of y into logy and the same for x, for a straight line graph.

thanks, is 6,2,-2,6,2,-2,6 periodic and how do i calculate its period?

would 96, -48, 24, -12 geometric....

Yes. Use the definition I just gave you to calculate its period.

For the second, is term1/term2 = term2/term3 = term3/term4 etc. If so, you've got a geometric sequence.

for the first on its going down by -4 each time, is that irrelevant and the period is just 3?

Ive got 5[2a+9d]

do I multiply just 2a by 5 or 9d as well?

I'm doing Q)3, im assuming i need to do a simultaneous equation due to the two unknowns.

I got it, a=61, d=-2
