Express (3-5x)/(x+3)^2 in the form A/(x+3) + B/(x+3)^2

A needs to be multiplied up by x+3 to make the fraction have the same in denominator as the other expressions. Then you need to equate the numerators. 3 - 5x = A(x+3) + B
You can gain two simultaneou...

The quadratic equation (k+1)x^2 + (5k - 3)x + 3k = 0 has equal roots. Find the possible values of k

We know the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) must be equal to zero for an equation to have equal roots (think about the fact that the square root of this is taken in the quadratic equation). So we can form the eq...

The graphs of functions f(x)=e^x and h(x)=e^(-.5x), where x is a real number and 0<x<1 ,lie on a plane. Draw these functions and find the area they and the line x=0.6 enclose using integration correct to 3 decimal places

∫ f(x)dx [.6, 0] - ∫ h(x)dx [.6,0]∫ f(x)dx = e^x....... f(x)dx [.6, 0] = (e^.6)-(e^0)=.822∫ h(x)dx = -2e^(-.5x)........... ∫ h(x)dx [.6,0]= (-2e^-.3)-(-2e^0)= .518.822 - .518= .304Therefore area enclosed ...
