a) Factorise: 2x^2-72, and hence b) find the y-intercept of the line with the equation: y=(2x^2-72)/(4x-24)


Work out the angle between the two tangents of the curve y = sin(x) at y = 0 and y = 1


show y=3x-5 is tangent to x^2 + y^2 +2x -4y - 5 = 0 and the point where they touch


dy/dx = 6x^2 - 3x + 4 when y=14 x=2 Find y in terms of x
