Line AB has equation 4x+5y+2=0. If the point P=(p, p+5) lies on AB, find P . The point A has coordinates (1, 2). The point C(5, k) is such that AC is perpendicular to AB. Find the value of k.

i) Well, if point P lies in AB, then the value of its x and y coordinates have to fulfill the condition imposed by equation AB. Therefore, substituting the x value p for x and the y value p+5 for y:

(A-Level) Find the coordinate of the stationary point of the curve y = 2x + 27/x^2

Since we are looking for a stationary this means the derivative will be equal to 0, so we will have to differentiate the equation. When we differentiate ( y = 2x + 27/x^2 ) we get ( dy/dx = 2 - 54/x^3 ). ...

Integrate a^x with respect to x

This comes up in C4 in A level maths and differentiating it could come up in C3. You can write a^x as exp(ln(a^x))=exp(xln(a)) then differentiating this, you get ln(a)exp(xln(a))=ln(a)a^x. By differen...

Prove that √2 is irrational

Prove by contradiction: Assume negation to be true i.e. √2 is rational Then √2 can be written in the form a/b where a and b are integers with no common factor (the fraction cannot be simplified) => a/b...

For y = 7x - x^3, find the two stationary points and what type of stationary points they are.

Differentiate y to get: dy/dx = 7-3x^2 , dy/dx = 0 , therefore x=(+/-)sqrt(7/3) d^2y/dx^2 = 6x , substitute x values in to y=7x-x^3 and d^2y/dx^2 to find coordinates and the type of the stationary point.<...
