January 2011 question 8 B) ii), there are two answers: p = 5/7 and P = 1. Why can't p = 1 be used? If I sub that into L2 I get C (7, -4, 10). Seems perfectly legit or am I missing something? Why do I have to use p = 5/7?

hey could someone help me with the January 2012 question 4b I have attached the QP :wink:


4bi -

500000e^-t/8 = 500e^t/8
1000e^-t/8 = e^t/8
1000 = (e^t/8)^2
e^t/8=10root10
t=8ln(10root10)
t=27.6

4bii

P-Q=45000
e^t/8 - 1000e^-t/8 = 90
(e^t/8)^2 -90e^t/8 -1000=0

t=8ln100
t=36.8

Oh yeah, p=1 would make DC and AB the same length. :smile:

Don't really have time to do any C4 revision and I'm retaking it from last year. Are any of the past papers/questions particularly hard (so I can do at least one)?

The latest ones(: best bet is jan 12(: Unless you originally did that one, then june 11(:

On June 2011 question 8. b)

y1/2 = 2 In [3-3x/3-2x] + 1/1-x - 1

How do I get it to:

y1/2 = 2 In [3-3x/3-2x] + x/1-x

It's the last bit on the end I don't know how to change. What happens to the - 1?

It's the last two lines on page 12:

It's just combination of the last two terms into a single fraction. :smile:

11x1=1(1x)1x=x1x\dfrac {1} {1-x}-1=\dfrac {1-\left( 1-x\right) } {1-x}=\dfrac {x} {1-x}

Of course! I don't know how I didn't see that, thanks :smile:

Dont understand the markscheme can someone helpppp!! ms.JPG

Question 8 jun 07..When you integrate sss.JPG doesnt it get divided by half(or multiplied by 2)

Hi guys.. I need help! I know this sounds like easy stuff.. but this has always got to me!
say '•' is theta, as I don't have that symbol ha

right so Sin2• , is different to 2Sin•

but if I was doing (Sin2•)/(sin•) what would it be?

:frown:
Reply 151
again.. so if cos•= 3/5
what would cos2• equal??
as it wouldn't be 2 x 3/5.. as that would be 2cos•

very confused!!

You cant simplify that any further just leave it in that form

hmm nope theres no pi in it all all....if you click on the picture doesnt it get bigger.

heres the link to the markscheme question 8a http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/gceasa/qp-ms/AQA-MPC4-W-MS-JUN07.PDF

I'm on my phone so clicking on pic wouldn't work. i'll look at mark scheme now.
and I can't leave it in that form :s-smilie: it's question 6(a)(ii) on jan 2010 I'm doing

Ok sin2• is equal to 2sin•cos•
= 2 x sin• x cos
= 2 x (4/5) x (3/5)
=24/25

sin2xsinx=2cosxsinxsinx\dfrac {\sin 2x} {\sin x}=\dfrac {2\cos x\sin x} {\sin x}

This part was done using the double angle formulae, which you really ought to be familiar with.

=2cosx=2\cos x

With part 8b) from the Jan 12 paper, the vectors part. The paper has been posted is you scroll up.

I've found the value for lambda which is 3/2, then I have to find the co-ordinates for D which I don't know how to.

well i am familiar with it actually thanks. but all part of the revision process. and that still doesnt solve the question im doing. i'll just go over it with a teacher next week.
