Solve, giving your answer to 3 s.f. : 2^(2x) - 6(2^(x) ) + 5 = 0

22x - 6(2x ) + 5 = 0let y = 2xy2 - 6y + 5 = 0(y-5)(y-1) = 0 y=5, y=12x = 5, therefore, x = log25 = 2.32 (3 s.f.)2x = 1, therefore, x = log21 = 0

The point A lies on the curve with equation y = x^(1/2). The tangent to this curve at A is parallel to the line 3y-2x=1. Find an equation of this tangent at A. (PP JUNE 2015 AQA)  


What are logarithms?


The curve C has equation: 2(x^2)y + 2x + 4y – cos(pi*y) = 17. Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y.


integrate by parts the equation dy/dx = (3x-4)(2x^2+5).
