    • RE: O-Level Additional Math

      hi i suppose the question is to differentiate this wrt x:

      y = 10 / (1 + x^2)
      y = 10* (1 + x^2)^-1

      dy/dx = 10 * (2x) * (1 + x^2) ^ -2
      = 20x / (1 + x^2) ^2

      the main function is (1 + x^2)^-1
      differentiate the function (1+ x^2) –> 2x
      and reduce the whole function’s power by 1, i.e. the power becomes -1 -1 = -2

      general rule:
      differentiate constants –> 0
      differentiate x –> 1
      differentiate x^n –> n* x^(n-1)

      Need help on these 2 questions.... many thanks !!!

      (a) 6x2 + 12 x - 90
      = 6 (x2+2x-15)
      = 6(x-3)(x+5)

      (b) 6(x-7)^2 + 12(x-7) - 90
      = 6(x2-14x+49) + 12x - 84 - 90
      = 6x2 - 6(14x-49) + 12x - 84 - 90
      = (6x2 + 12x - 90) - 6(14x-49)
      = 6(x-3)(x+5) - 6(14x-49)
      = 6[(x-3)(x+5) - 7(2x-7)]

      for part b, again notice the similarity with part a, so just sub x = x-7 into part a answer:
      6(x-7)^2 + 12(x-7) - 90
      = 6 ((x-7) - 3) ((x-7) +5)
      = 6 (x - 10) (x -2)

      Dear studybuddy


      There seems to be a careless error in your final answer to part (ii). Pls check and confirm.
      oh yes, careless! thanks for pointing out

      a.
      first term is 3x^2 so it has to be the form of (3x +...y) *(x + ...y )
      the coefficient of y will have to give a multiple of 54
      one of --> 1, 54 or 2, 27 or 3, 18 or 6, 9
      coeff of xy = 9, so the answer has to be
      (3x - 9y)*(x + 6y)

      b.
      consider the similarity to part a.
      use substitution of x= (3x - 8y), you will get:

      (3 (3x - 8y) - 9y) * ((3x - 8y) + 6y)
      = (9x -24y - 9y) *(3x - 8y + 6y)
      = (3x - 33y)* (3x - 2y)

      do ask if u need more clarifications! :imcool:

      You still need any help ?

      Q12 part a.
      height of water = 3/8 * 48cm = 18cm
      surface area = base area + rectangular area + 2 trapezium areas + slant area
      = 90 *56 + 56 *18 + 2* (.5*(90+75)*18) + 56* 23.4
      = 10330 = 10300 sqcm (to 3sf)

      the slant height is 23.4cm using pythagoras theorem for bottom right triangle with other lengths 18cm and (90-75) = 15cm.

      part b.
      volume of water in part a = 75 * 56 * 18 + 0.5 *15*56*18
      = 83160 cm3
      25% increase = vol of 9 cylinders = 83160*0.25 = 20790 cm3
      vol of 1 cylinder = 2310 cm3
      = pi*r^2 * h
      r^2 = 2310 / (3.142 * 16) = 45.950
      r = 6.7786
      diameter = 2r = 13.557 = 13.6cm (to 3 sf)
