    What is the frequency of a tuning fork oscillating at 2770 rad/s?

    A tuning fork oscillates with simple harmonic motion described the equation: x = 0.00150cos(2770t) (where t is seconds) a) calculate the frequency in Hz of the tuning fork b) Suggest why only this tuning fork (taken from a set of 10 forks) gets louder when held above a glass bottle full...

    Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations

    For the Parametric Equations Question, can you do part (a) by thinking of x=cost as cos=k and y=2-cos2t as y=2-k2t where k is some constant? Can you sketch the graph by calculating a table of values of x,y and t from -3 to 3?

    Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations

    This is my attempt at question (1) (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = A/(x+3) + B/(x+3)^2 (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = A(x+3)/(x+3)(x+3) + B/(x+3)^2 (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = Ax+3A/(x+3)^2 + B/(x+3)^2 now cancel all the denominators to get 3x-1=Ax+3A+B I don't know where to go from here

    Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations

    Hi Can anybody help me with these 3 problems?: 1) Express (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 in the form A/(x+3) + B/((X+3)^2) where A and B are constants. 2) A curve C has parametric equations: x=cost and y=2-cos2t (between 0 and pi) a)prove this can be expressed as the cartesian equation y=3-2x^2 b)...

    2 Trigonometric Problems i'm stuck with. Help

    3cosecx-5sinx=2 3cosecx-5sinx(sinx)=2(sinx) 3cosecx-5sin2x=2sinx ... this is not a quadratic is it??

    2 Trigonometric Problems i'm stuck with. Help

    Yes, I think 1(b) is: cos(x)cot(x) = cos(x)[cos(x)/sin(x)] = cos²(x) / sin(x) = [1 - sin²(x)] / sin(x) = [1/sin(x)] - [sin²(x)/sin(x)] = csc(x) - sin(x) but I don't have a clue about 1(a) I can only get to: [3(1/sinx)]-5sinx-2=0 and then don't know how to carry on
