Solve x^2 + x=12 by factorising

Start off with:x2+x=12Subtract 12 from both sides:x2+x-12=0Factorise:(x-3)(x+4)=0Solution is therefore:x=3 or x=-4

f(x) = (x-5)/(x^2+5x+4), express this in partial fractions and hence find the integral of f(x) dx between x=0 and x=2, giving the answer as a single simplified logarithm.


Express 5/[(x-1)(3x+2)] as partial fractions.


The Curve C has equation y = 3x^4 - 8x^3 - 3. Find dy/dx.


How do changes to the coefficient of x affect the graph y = f(x) as opposed to changes to the coefficient of f(x)?
