  • Area underneath a curve?

    the curve with equation y=k cos 3x where x is in radians and k is a constant. the curve cuts the x axis at point A.

    a) write down the coordinates of point A

    b) find as a multiple of k, the area of the region R bounded by the x axis , the y axis and the curve.

    ( there is a sketch of the curve given but is see no way to put it on the internet. however it has no numerical values. It starts of when X=0 and y is a positive value and slopes downwards ....the gradient keeps getting steeper until a point where y=0 and x is a positive value )

  • Binomial expansion? A really difficult one ?

    Expand (1-3x)^1/2 ascending powers of x up to and including the term x^3 simplifying each term as far as possible

    State the range of values of x for which the expansion is valid

    Show that root 10 = 5 root (2/5)

    Hence by using your expansion with a suitable value of x obtain an approximation to 5 significant figures for root 10

    Calculate to 3 significant figures the percentage error in the approximation obtained in part (d)
