Maths Paper 1 HL examCRAFTpart (b) (ii) in Q7.... differentiate tan-inverse(sinx)
Ok so, turns out I'm doing Examcraft papers. Paper 2 wen t awful today, cant believe it.
As for that arc tan9sin x) question. Here it is(AFAIK):
y=tan^-1(sin x)
dy/dx= 1/1+sinX by cosX(derivative of sinX)
=>cosX/1+sinX
Isnt that how its done? cos the derivative of arc tan is 1 over 1+whatever else is there,
then have to multiply it by the derivative of that number/thing.
That 3-D triangle problem was actually quite easy, got that and the product of the Cos thing.
How do you do the limit part? I did attempt it as best I could
____________________________________________________________
got some stupid question asking me to draw a graph, so i did and there was one point,
the origin, then i was told to prove there were no points of inflection and i did,
and then they told me about the tangents,
but i only had one point!!! It was the stupidest question ive ever seen!!
_____________________________________________________________________
MY paper had 1/x for first rule differntiation, and some effed up algebra questions,
had powers as fractions. I got it out though,
it was just weird. Got me off gurad aswell, failed the rest though, lol!
______________________________________
2x-t is a factor. Therefore 2x-t=0....x=t/2
Now, sub this into the actaul equation and you get:
2(t/2)^3+p(t/2)+p which according to the theorm should equal zero.
Therefore, after multiplying t/2 into the equation, we get:
(2t^3/8)+(pt/2)+p=0
Multiply by 8:
2t^3+4pt+8p=0
Divide by 2:
t^3+2pt+4p=0
Now, subtract by t^3....2pt+4p=-t^3
Factorise: p(2t+4)=t^3
Divide by (2t+4)....p=-t^3/(2t+4)....p=-t^3/2(t+2)
Hope that helps.

Hope its usefull!
DCG HL Paper examCRAFTDCG (Design and Communication Graphics Higher level Examcraft):
Spoiler:
Short answer questions-
interpenetration between cone and sphere
perspective of object with a sloping roof
you're given focal point, tangent and axis of parabola and you fill in the rest
skew lines - find perpendicular distance between point and line
Section B-
complicated interpenetration which I avoided
Nice planes of reference q where you find dihedral angle
solids in contact - standard enough, draw cone to touch a cone and sphere
Section C-
Roads: straight, sloping road to find cut and fill
2 bore holes were drilled and found top and bottom of stratum at certain depths. determine dip/strike/thickness
Development: you're given a truncated cone's plan and elevation. You've to draw plan and elevation and draw development of curved surface.
easy question.
3d surfaces: Nasty question! You have a roof which is made of 8 curved roofs, but resembles a circle in plan! In elevation you've to draw it,
show curved surfaces of 2 and then draw traces of plane which is parallel to a directrix and goes through a certain point!
(I hate impossible mock questions)
To get the confusion out of the way. DEB has only a barcode, examCRAFT has a barcode and a tick.
