The function f is given by f(x) = SQRT(2x − 5). Work out x when f(x) = 1.2

1.2 = SQRT(2x-5)square both sides1.2^2 = 2x -5 add 5 to both sides 1.2^2 + 5 = 2xdivide both sides by 2(1.2^2 + 5)/2 = x

l1 and l2 are tangents of a circle. l1 intersects the circle at (3-√3,5) with a gradient of √3, and l2 intersects the circle at (3+√2,4+√2) with a gradient of -1. Find the centre of the circle, and hence find the radius of the circle.


Find the coordinates of the minimum point of the function y=(x-5)(2x-2)


Show that 2cos^2(x) = 2 - 2sin^2(x) and hence solve 2cos^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 3 for 0<x<180


Use differentiation to show the function f(x)=2x^3–12x^2+25x–11 is an increasing function for all values of x
