Find the values for x for which
$|x-3|<5-|x|$
I need to check this but I got x = -1, x = 4 so:

- 1 < x < 4
2. Yep, thats right

Yup just checked my working and I'm happy with it and then checked it on graphical calc (life saver)!

4. Guys they is something dodgy with my graphical calcutor casio I type in Sin (inverse) (3X) so its been stretched by 1/3 but for some reason the Y end points changes for some reason any ideas why?

Just use substitution. 3x^2du = dx. So you get : 3(x^3-10)^7/7 + C

it was meant to be done without a substitution, as it's in the form f'(x)(f(x))^n

For C3 they hardly ever ask this type of question, I've seen it come up once for 2 marks. But for units like FP3 etc, this trick is more useful as it's quicker if you know how it works.

That's strange... And what's even stranger I didn't know you could plot inverse trig function on a calculator!

Any ideas for 5B june 2014??
Complete the square on the quadratic and you'll find it'll make things a lot easier
8. [QUOTE=Suits101;65785575]These have never come up before, but I have written a solution to it:

Page 160
Exercise 9B
Question 7

I have never seen questions like these before!

Could I see your solution? I can't seem to get the answer.

Integrate x^2(x^3-10)^6 .dx

I made this up, but using that 'reverse chain rule', you can do this in two or so steps without parts/substitution.
Could you/anyone write this in LaTex?

My calc messes up inverse graphs too.
You need to draw the graph of inverse sign then just apply the transformations to your endpoints in the exam.

Th calc draws normal inverse graphs fine (without transformations) so its ok.
I think there is a way to fix it though, don't know much about my calculator =(.

The question or the solution using reverse chain rule?

Also could you post the solution to that question please. the quotething messed up.

Sorry, I've never used/ know how to use LaTex
13. How is everyone feeling then? I am getting 60's on some papers and high 50's on others, Not sure what to expect, Ngl i usually get 10 marks lower in the exam.

.
The bit after below:

= 2sin^-1(2x) + C

Therefore overall integral = -0.25(1-4x^2)^0.5 - 2sin^-1(2x)

Then just put limits in

(I didn't see limits originally hence all the + C stuff)

15. hey guys if i was asked to sketch a random inverse graph how would I do it
16. Can anyone help I'm not sure how to go about finding the area on Q8d

Find the y value when x is 2 and 4. Then area B = Rectangle of where x=4*y(4) - area A - rectangle where x=2*y(2)

Split everything up into shapes:

Overall area made by dotted lines is a rectangle
There's a smaller rectangle in LHS

Therefore B = shaded area - integral - smaller rectangle in LHS (with width of 2)
