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

Can you explain induction and go through an example?


x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = (x^2 - a^2)(x + b) where a,b are integers. Work out the three linear factors of x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18. (Note: x^3 indicates x cubed and x^2 indicates x squared).


Work out the gradient of the curve y=x^3(x-3) at the point (3,17)
