How would you use the following expression to approximate [(4-5x)/(1+2x)(2-x)] when x=5 (A2 pure)

So I cant really answer this question over text however, the method would be using partial fractions to split the two fractions into two, then using a binomial expansion, but the indicies will be negative so you'd have to be careful how you expand. Then once you have expanded the fractions you would simply plug 5 into the polynomial formed and that would be the answer. This question would be specifically for A2

Find the value of the discriminant of x2 + 6x + 11


A curve is described by the equation (x^2)+4xy+(y^2)+27=0. The tangent to the point P, which lies on the curve, is parallel to the x-axis. Given the x-co-ordinate of P is negative, find the co-ordinates of P.


Given that y = x^4 + x^(1/3) + 3, find dy/dx


Solve the equation sec^2(A) = 3 - tan(A), for 0<= A <= 360 (degrees)
