Use the discriminant firstly to see if the roots are real and distinct (2 roots), equal(1 root) or imaginary(no roots).
and after that try using to 2 nearest factors of 15 both positive and negative factors.

In this case i would use calculus first to find the turning point.
Then solve
3x
- 15x + 11= a(x+b) + c
for a.
Then solve
3x
- 15x + 11= a(x+b) + cfor a.

I've been asked this question in my uni homework and not sure how to expand it.
Expand sin(A + B + C) in terms of sin A, sin B, sin C, cos A, cos B, cos C.
How would i tackle this?
They also ask the same for cos(A + B + C)
Thankies =D

This is rather simple Vectors using Pythagoras.
And I don't want to insult you by showing you how to do Pythagoras

A product is the answer from multiplying two or more numbers together, not the summation of two or more numbers.
For question seven use b2 - 4ac = a negative number, to find the smallest possible integer value for K.

If you drop it, they can not force you to keep going to the class time AFTER school.
So you are in the clear.

cos(x+15) = 2/3
take the cos over to the other side to get
x+15 = cos^-1(2/3)
x+15 = 48.1897
then solve for x
x = 48.1897 - 15
x = 33.1897
x is in degrees btw

The Bouyancy Force is created by the force below the object being greater than the force above the object, and if you take the force above the object from the force below the object you get the Bouyancy force IIRC.

Use the chain rule on the trig part, and standard differentiation on the latter

You are correct.
Now what you need to do is subsitute x and y for the co-ordinate (0,18).
And then solve for a.
Tell me what you get for your answer and I'll let you know if it is correct.

For the first one:
Break the fraction up and use the rules opf indices to simplify and then integrate.
For the second one:
Multiply out the bracket and do the same from there as you did with the first one.
I know there is a simpler way, but i cant remember how to do it.

start by finding the equation of the radius
from there you find the line perpendicular to to the radius
I think you can go on from there.
