A question testing the application of the Cosine Rule when given three side lengths. In this question, the triangle is always obtuse. A secondary application is finding the area of a triangle.

Express $\displaystyle \frac{a}{(x+r)(px + b)} + \frac{c}{(x+r)(qx + d)}$ as an algebraic single fraction over a common denominator. The question asks for a solution which has denominator $(x+r)(px+b)(qx+d)$.

Find the equation of a straight line which has a given slope or gradient $m$ and passes through the given point $(a,b)$.

There is a video in Show steps which goes through a similar example.

Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle 2\log_{a}(x+b)- \log_{a}(x+c)=d$. 

Make sure that your choice is a solution by substituting back into the equation.

Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{a} {bx+c} + d= s$

Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle ax ^ 2 + bx + c=0$.

Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{a} {bx+c} + d= s$

Estimate the number of buckets of paint to buy, by rounding measurements of a room up to the nearest metre and estimating the total area.

This question tests the students ability to calculate the area of different 2D shapes given the units and measurements required. The formulae for the areas are available if required but students are encouraged to try to remember them themselves.

The shapes are: a rectangle, a parallelogram, a right-angled triangle, and a trapezium.

Introductory exercise about power sets.

Three graphs are given with areas underneath them shaded. The student is asked to calculate their areas, using integration.  Q1 has a polynomial. Q2 has exponentials and fractional functions. Q3 requires solving a trig equation and integration by parts.

Graphs are given with areas underneath them shaded. The student is asked to select the correct integral which calculates its area.

5 questions on definite integrals - integrate polynomials, trig functions and exponentials; find the area under a graph; find volumes of revolution.

This is the question for week 9 of the MA100 course at the LSE. It looks at material from chapters 17 and 18.

Description of variables for part b:
For part b we want to have four functions such that the derivative of one of them, evaluated at 0, gives 0; but for the rest we do not get 0. We also want two of the ones that do not give 0, to be such that the derivative of their sum, evaluated at 0, gives 0; but when we do this for any other sum of two of our functions, we do not get 0. Ultimately this part of the question will show that even if two functions are not in a vector space (the space of functions with derivate equal to 0 when evaluated at 0), then their sum could nonetheless be in that vector space. We want variables which statisfy:

a,b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n are variables satisfying

Function 1: x^2 + ax + b sin(cx)
Function 2: x^2 + dx + f sin(gx)
Function 3: x^2 + hx + j sin(kx)
Function 4: x^2 + lx + m sin(nx)

u,v,w,r are variables satifying
u=a+bc
v=d+fg
w=h+jk
r=l+mn

The derivatives of each function, evaluated at zero, are:
Function 1: u
Function 2: v
Function 3: w
Function 4: r

So we will define
u as random(-5..5 except(0))
v as -u
w as 0
r as random(-5..5 except(0) except(u) except(-u))

Then the derivative of function 3, evaluated at 0, gives 0. The other functions give non-zero.
Also, the derivative of function 1 + function 2 gives 0. The other combinations of two functions give nonzero.

We now take b,c,f,g,j,k,m,n to be defined as \random(-3..3 except(0)).
We then define a,d,h,l to satisfy
u=a+bc
v=d+fg
w=h+jk
r=l+mn

Description for variables of part e:

Please look at the description of each variable for part e in the variables section, first.
As described, the vectors V3_1 , V3_2 , V3_3 are linearly independent. We will simply write v1 , v2 , v3 here.
In part e we ask the student to determine which of the following sets span, are linearly independent, are both, are neither:

both: v1,v2,v3
span: v1,v1+v2,v1+v2+v3, v1+v2+v3,2*v1+v2+v3
lin ind: v1+v2+v3
neither: v2+v3 , 2*v2 + 2*v3
neither:v1+v3,v1-2*v3,2*v1-v3
neither: v1+v2,v1-v2,v1-2*v2,2*v1-v2

Uses JSXGraph to generate a plot for a cubic, with given critical points, along with three other incorrect graphs with modified properties. JSXGraph code is commented.

This is a set of questions designed to help you practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions.

All of these can be done without a calculator.
