Thank you
Hi there! You are IP Yr4 I believe.
This pair of simultaneous equations can't be solved simply with the knowledge you have at the moment. You should be using GC.
Pt A can be found easily of cos.

As for the area between these two curves, simply integrate from the (x) limits you have found. This is can done easi
Eg integrate wrt x; from 0 to 3.50; exponential minus hyperbola.
Hope this is useful.

Is it must make the 2 curves equal to each other? But, it is difficult to solve this equation. Pls help. Tks.

Well, his mother only engage me around March after he failed both his maths.


I encouraged him to continue with his A Maths, as some of the topics in E Maths will appear in A Maths with more details.

Ended up he got a A2 in E Math and B4 in A Math.

Well, if he is in Sec 3, then there are still time for him to catch up.

Make the decision only when the teacher advised him to drop the subject.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate thread to post this question, mod please remove if it is not appropriate.

My son is struggling with his A Maths. His A Maths grade for SA1 is 12.5. I am considering letting him drop the subject. My question is - how important is A Maths for entrance to JC Science stream?

He is also weak in his E Maths, 42.5 for SA1. I'm thinking if he drops A Maths, he can spend more time to improve on his E Maths and other subjects. Any advice or thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Is your son in Sec 3 or 4?
If it's Sec 3, then there is still time to turn the tide.

In terms of dropping Maths, my view is that Maths remain the easiest subject to score well. Even if a student is not blessed with innate ability to 'master' Maths, he can still do reasonably well with diligence and practice.

Feel free to contact me if you need any help or advice.

1) change sec x to 1/cosx ,
2) change (cosx)^2 - 1 to -(sinx)^2
3) factorise (sinx)^2+(cosx)^2+2sinxcosx to (sinx+cosx)^2.
4) apply tanx = sinx / cosx

Is it tangent to curve means Discriminant =0? But how to use Discriminant if there is ln x? Please help. Thank you

this question is not about discriminant = 0. Always remember, discriminant is only for quadratic equation. This is a differentiation question.

So differentiatate and set dy/dx = gradient of the tangent. Find x. Then the y coordinate. Lastly the value of k. Give it a try. ๅŠ ๆฒนใ€‚ใ€‚ :rahrah: :rahrah:
