From ALASTAIR: Hi, The question asks Solve for 'theta' cos2theta=sintheta x costheta.
Substituting for cos2th either 1-2sin^2th or 2cos^2th does not give an equation in either sine or cosine alone how do I solve this please? Answered by Penny Nom. |

Some trig expressions |
2004-05-23 |
|
From A student: Prove:
sin A + sin B = 2sin(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)
cos A - cos B = -2sin(A+B/2)sin(A-B/2)
cos A + cos B = 2cos(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)
sin A - sin B = 2cos(A+B/2)sin(A+B/2) Answered by Penny Nom. |

The area of a circle |
2002-06-03 |
|
From Jessica: I am doing a maths assigment for university, which is aimed towrds primary school students(k-6). I was wondering if you could give me some information as to how I could describe to students the rule for finding the area of circle, using a circle cut up into equal sectors (like a pizza). I know it has something to do with the fact that you can make these shapes into a parallelogram, but I am a bit uncertain as to how I can express this idea clearly and articulately to students.

Rewriting and evaluating formulas |
2001-11-19 |
|
From A conserned mother: Due to the wide range of temperatures experienced in Canada, engineers who construct roads must allow for expansion and contraction of the road surface. The following formula is used to calculate the amount of expansion E to allow for: E= kL(T-t), where k is the constant of expansion for the road surface. L is the length of the section of highway in metres. T is the temperature of the air in degrees Celsius. t is the temperature, in degress Celsius, at which the section of the highway was constructed.
