The Student Room Group

Post A level Mathematics problems here.

This thread is for fun and for A level Mathematics questions only.

Try as much as possible not to post:

Routine problems such as factoring polynomials.

Too many Further Mathematics questions (to make it accessible to more people)

I'll start it off with this easy but non-routine question

Without using calculators or tables, evaluate


Unparseable latex formula:

\sqrt\frac{27^1^0 + 9^1^0}{27^4 + 9^1^1}

.

Tables? Did you create this thread in 1982?

Loool well it's conventional to say it I suppose. If I didn't say it then you would be at liberty to find one and look at it and hence slove the problem.

Locating a set of tables that might actually help would take rather longer than adding or subtracting a few integers.

I've got various old mathematical tables but I'd hate to use them for this.

OP. It's just
Unparseable latex formula:

\dsiplaystyle \sqrt{\frac{3^{20}(3^{10}+1)}{3^{12}(3^{10}+1)}}

etc. :tongue:

Try this?

If the red line segments are of equal length express beta in terms of alpha.

Well, what can I say that's what the question had. :s-smilie:
