june 2012 question 6d, is the answer just y=0? also how did they get the inequalities x>=a and x<=-a ?

Has anyone done review exercise 2 from the textbook? I don't understand how to find the direction of the line in part d of question 5

Along with the below, yep

also how did they get the inequalities x>=a and x<=-a ?

The maximum and minimum values cos(theta) can take as theta varies is 1 and -1 respectively. By using that, you should get those inequalities.

Find the vector equation of AB, and c must lie on this line :smile:

Edit: nvm see teeEms post, I read it as collinear

For 11a, I found the vector AC
So r=AC+ lambda (AB) +mu (d)

But in the answers, they do
r=OA+lambda(AB) +mu (d)

Why?

You just need a point in the plane, hence OA

a cross b dot c must be zero

Does it? Surely (AB) x (AC) =0 ?

Or are they the same thing

Edit: nvm I read it as collinear, thought I'd outsmarted you there (it wasn't to be :/)

they've used the equation r = a + sb + tc where a is a position vector

in your method you cannot use AC as there is an unkown. i personally would've have found AB x d = n and then formed the vector equation using (r-a)xb=0 but this method seems simpler.

june 2014 is the worst paper, i havent marked it yet but i think i just did silly mistakes, honestly if i got that in the exam i would cry lol

Ok so feeling pretty unprepared for this exam, haven't touched it in almost a month and feel I've forgotten quite a bit. What are people's advice on what resources to focus on?

You should probably get back up to speed with the text book, maybe do some questions from that and when you feel like you know your stuff past papers. I haven't bothered with FP3 for a while and I've basically got Thursday through Sunday to look back at it and S2 (gotta prepare for physics tomorrow) so I'll likely be doing similar soon

Hi can anyone help with question 4a) from the old set of questions for FP3 please?
I always get stuck on these type of questions, but I'm confused with the limits and how to use them to get the (pi/2)^n.

cross product of two vectors gives the vector perpendicular to both, if you want i can draw a diagram to help visualise it, this concept is a little more harder when you try to think of the reasoning

A*desperate!

Hi, glad to see a thread fp3!
Can anyone please suggest me some past papers to do? The tricky ones I mean, cz time is short! Thanks!
