What are the roots of y=x^2+5x+6 ?

Roots = where line touches x-axis. Set equation equal to 0 as y=0 at the x-axis. Now we need to solve for the x values at which y=0. Quadratic is now 0=x^2+5x+6. Factorise quadratic: 0=(x+3)(x+2). Now you...

Differentiate f(x)= x^3 + x^(1/3)-2

f'(x)= 3x^2+1/3x^(-2/3)

To differentiate you need to multiply the coefficant of the x dependent terms by the powers and then the power of x goes down by one. 

For example: differentiate f(x)...

Integrate 10x(x^1/2 - 2)dx

First, expand the brackets. This will give us 10x^3/2 - 20x. Now to integrate this expression we have to increase the power of each term by one and then divide them by the number which becomes the new pow...

A curve has parametric equations -> x = 2cos(2t), y = 6sin(t). Find the gradient of the curve at t = π/3.

First we need to find the derivatives of x and y in terms of t. dx/dt can be found using the chain rule. Differentiating the inside of the bracket gives us 2. Multiplying the outside gives -2sin(2t) (Deri...

How do I remember the common values of cosx, sinx and tanx?

To remeber the equations us SOH CAH TOA. This is Sinx = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos x = Adjacent/Hypotenuse and Tanx = Opposite/Adjacent. For values x=pi/3 and x=pi/6 always start by drawing an equilateral o...
