A curve has parametric equations x=2t, y=t^2. Find the Cartesian equation of the curve.

x=2t --> t= x/2 
y=t2 = (x/2)2

So the Cartesian equation is y=x2/4.

Find the values of y such that log2(11y-3)-log2(3)-2log2(​y) = 1


i) It is given that f(x)=(-5-33x)/((1+x)(1+5x)), express f(x) in the form A/(1+x) + B/(1+5x) where A,B are integers. ii) hence express the integral of f(x) between x=3 and x=0 in the form (p/q)ln4 where p,q are integers.
