Sorry, didn't read this part.

Bascally, you are given two variables (but not explicitly told). These can be likened to x and y. You are given enough constraints to write one in terms of the other. You may need to do some substituting.

Once you have them in the form:
eg.
y = x^2 + x + 1

And you have to "find the value of x for which y is minimum", differentiate and set equal to zero:

dy/dx = 2x + 1 = 0
2x = -1
x = -1/2

So this is the value when y is a minimum. Sorry I'm rushed, gtg, I'll explain in mroe detail later, or maybe someone else will beat me to it. These are typical applications of calculus questions.


thanks for your help. much appreciated. look foward to hearing from you later

How many proofs do you have to learn off by heart, and which ones?

Have you gotta be able to prove, for example, that sin^2x + cos^2x = 1?

yes
the sin&cos identity is in the syllabus

it's in the syllabus, but you don't have to know how to prove it

So, you've got to know how to prove:

Arithemtic - Sum, nth Term and first n natural numbers.

And Geometric - Sum, nth Term and sum to infinity.

That right? :wink:
