What is a quartic?? A 4-th degree polynomial. What’s the largest number of (real) solutions a quartic can have?? $4$. What’s the smallest number of (real) solutions a quartic can have?? $0$. I want to make a quartic with only two roots, $3$ and $4$. How could I do this?? $$ (x-3)(x-3)(x-4)(x-4) $$ Visualise the quartic $x^2(x-3)(x+3)$?? PHOTO When sketching a quatic, what’s the process?? Add the roots to an axis Add the y-intercept Backlinks [[Maths - Syllabus]]S Metadata date: 2020-10-11 11:51 tags: - '@?

In summary, what is volumes of revolutions?? Finding volumes by integrating. Rotating the line $y = x$ around the $x$ axis creates what shape?? A cone. If you have a function $f(x)$ and an interval $[a,b]$, how can you find the volume of revolution around the $x$-axis?? $$ \int^b_a \pi f(x)^2 dx $$ If normal integration is an infinite summation of rectangles, then volumes of revolutions is an infinite summation of?? Cylinders. If you have a cylinder with radius $y$ and width $dx$, then what is the formula for the volume of that cylinder?

See Also [[Maths - Differentiation]]S [[Further Maths - Volumes of Revolutions]]S Flashcards What is $x^n$ integrated?? $$ \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + c $$ What is $kx^n$ integrated?? $$ \frac{kx^{n+1}}{n+1} + c $$ Integrate $2x+4$?? $$ x^2 + 4x + c $$ What does $c$ mean in integration?? The constant of integration. Why is a constant of integration important?? Because it represents any constant term that would disappear when being differentiated. What does it mean to find a particular solution of an integral?

See [[Physics - SUVAT Equations]]S , it’s largely the same. If you have two cars which decelerate the same amount ($a$) over the same distance ($s$), which SUVAT equation can you use?? $$ v^2 = u^2 + 2as $$ Two cars, $A$ and $B$, have a $100ms^{-1}$ and $80ms^{-1}$ velocity respectively. Car $B$ reaches a final velocity of $0ms^{-1}$. Car $A$ reaches a final velocity of $x\, ms^{-1}$. They decelerate the same amount ($a$) over the same distance ($s$).

When is terminal velocity reached?? When the resultant force on a falling object is zero. What’s the formula for percentage difference?? $$ \text{percentage difference} = \frac{\text{actual} - \text{yours}}{\text{actual}} $$ What’s an alternative to the words more/less or goes up/down in Physics?? Increases. What’s an alternative to the phrase “balanced forces”?? Net force or resultant force is zero. What is the centre of gravity?? The point on an object at which the entire weight of the object may be considered to act.
