AM-GM inequality
I've struggled to prove part 2 of the warm up. Do you have advise a way to begin the proof further to splitting the first fraction?
"Advise a way", sorry
"Advise a way", sorry
AM-GM
Using "the stem" (bit before the question parts start) we can say that $\dfrac{p+q} 2 \ge \sqrt{pq}$ and so we have $\dfrac{p+q} 4 \ge \dfrac {\sqrt{pq}} 2$.
You can do something similar with $r$ and $s$. Finally use the stem with $a=\sqrt{pq}$ ....
Preparation part ii) b) answer
I'm not sure but I think the answer should be (0,5) for the intersection point rather than (5,0) as the hints and solutions say
Agreed
Yep, agreed. You're correct.
Thanks!
I'll put in on my list of corrections to make!
