Differentiate f(x) = (3x + 5)(4x - 7)

A good way to approach this question is to first expand the brackets . This gives 12x2 - 21x + 20x - 35 (remember to take the negative seven into account). We can then simplify this to give 12x2 - x - 35 . Finally, we use the standard rules for differentiation to give f'(x) = 24x - 1

(a) Express (1+4*sqrt(7))/(5+2*sqrt(7)) in the form a+b*sqrt(7), where a and b are integers. (b) Then solve the equation x*(9*sqrt(5)-2*sqrt(45))=sqrt(80).
