MY PROJECT SUPERVISOR GAVE ME THIS TRIG PROBLEM TO SOLVE AS THIS WILL SERVE AS A GREATER EFFORT IN CONCLUDING MY PROJECT WITH HIM. THE QUESTION GOES THUS:USING THE TRIG IDENTITY COS3THETA=4COS^3THETA-3COSTHETA,EXPRESS COSTHETA AS A FUNCTION OF COS3THETA I.E COSTHETA=F(COS3THETA) EXPLICITLY. THANKS AND GOD BLESS

Now let '@' be theta....Cos3@=cos(@+2@), cos3@=cos@cos2@-sin@sin2@..{remember dat in trig identity cos2@ is 2cos^2@ and sin2@ is 2sin@cos@ and sin^2@ is 1-cos^2@} now continuation..cos3@=cos@(2cos^2@-1)-sin@(2sin@cos@), cos3@=cos@(2cos^2@-1)-2sin^2@cos@, cos3@=cos@(2cos^2@-1)-2(1-cos^2@)cos@, cos3@=cos@(2cos^2@-1)-2(cos@-cos^3@), cos3@=2cos^3@-cos-2cos@+2cos^3@, cos3@= 4cos^3@-3cos@ NOTE:Where cos3@ starts begin 4rm another line it be vertical....It's right if i really understand ur question.

Re: Maths Forum by Wemmy6284(m): 9:04pm On Apr 24, 2012
@Joshua,reframe d question..but if d que is like this (2x-3)=13....2x=3+13..... 2x=16.....x=8..but it's too simple,that is why i said reframe it.

Pls help me with dis: The quadratic equation whose roots are 1-113 and 1+113 is
a. X^2 +11x + 1= 0
b. X^2 - 2x +12 = 0
c. 1+ 2x + 12 = 0
d. X^2 -2x -12= 0

So let this_/ serve as our square root..If the root of the equation is 1+_/13 and 1+_/13 if i guess what u have written right...SO {x-(1+_/13)}{x-(1-_/13)}=(x-1-_/13)(x-1+_/13)..now by multiplying each of content in the first bracket by the whole second brack,like this...=x(x-1+_/13)-1(x-1+_/13)-_/13(x-1+_/13)=x^2-x+x_/13-x+1-_/13-x_/13+_/13-13...as you can se some will cancel out to give us zero e.g[x_/13-x_/13 and-_/13+_/13]..so it is a bit simplified to give us x^2-x-x+1-13=x^2-2x-12....So the answer is 'd' ...note the signs and square root and don't mix it up,nd if u want to write it down,make sure equals to sign = starts the next line.

check diskiss solve for 0<or=x<or=360
sin2x=cosx

Michelle22: check diskiss solve for 0<or=x<or=360

In ur trig identity sin2x=2sinxcosx so put it where you see sin2x...2sinxcosx=cosx...so divide both sides by cosx and cosx will cancel out to give 2sinxcosx/cosx=cosx/cosx...2sinx=1...sinx=1/2...sinx=0.5...x=sin inverse or arc sin 0.5.....x=30 or 150(degree) ...since it should be less between 0 and 360...So the answer is 30 or 150(in degrees

For prism u need to be specific,there are triangular prism,rectangular prism but generally surface area is crossectional areas * depth(height)... For pyramid since it's not volume,the surface area is complicated it has no general specific formula but u have to work it out based on the question.
Re: Maths Forum by Johncasey(m): 1:42am On May 08, 2012
@lucario007 jst lyk my bro wemmy said. No singular formulae exit for determining the total surface area of a prism and that of a pyramid.
For prism in general, the total surface area=sum of the areas of al d surfaces.
Likwise for pyramid, the total surface area of a pyramid=Area of base+sum of areas of the triangular faces. N.B (a pyramid has a number of the triangular faces depending on the shape of the base. Eg a square base pyramid has 4 triangular faces)
