    question from catholic trail 05

    x=cos2t - sin2t = √2/√2 (cos2t - sin2t) (multiply top and bottom by √2) = √2 (1/√2 x cos2t - 1/√2 x sin2t) = √2 (cos(pi/4)xcos2t - sin(pi/4)xsin2t) since cos(pi/4)=1/√2 and sin(pi/4)=1/√2 = √2 (cos(2t+pi/4)) using the trig identity cos(a+b)=cosaxcosb-sinaxsinb = √2...

    Further Growth and Decay

    You know that this is a temperature question so that it relates to Newton's law of cooling which states that the cooling rate of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of a body and that of surrounding medium. i.e dT/dt = -k(T-M) where T is the temperature at...

    1997 question 6

    did u approximate n?.... if 4n+1=1001 n=250 (for the mid inequality) but 4(250)+3 is not equal to 10^-3 (as in the right inequality) ......unless i did something wrong....

    1997 question 6

    ohhh ok.....but then if i let y=0, 0 < 0 - 0/3 +1/5 - ...... + 0/4n+1 < 1/4n+3 did u mean let y=1, since theres a - pi/4 in the middle inequality?

    EEEK conical pendulum ... period of motion.

    i dont have a diagram here but if u do u'd prolly get it, Tcos30 = mg Tsin 30 = mv^2/r (since v=rw, where w = omega) = mrw^2 divide these equations to eliminate T, therefore, tan 30 = rw^2/g now, sin 30 = r/1 = 1/2 so, tan 30 = 1/2 x w^2/9.8 1/sqr...
