Find the surface area of a hand held fan (modeled with negligible depth) with radius 8 cm and a 60 degree angle at the centre

60 degrees = π/3 radians
A = 1/2r2θr = 8θ = π/3
1/2 x 82 x π/3 = 33.5103216... cm233.5103216... x 2 = 67.0 cm2

How do I differentiate (x^2 + 3x + 3)/(x+3)

In order to differentiate this fraction, you will need to use the quotient rule, which if you don't remember is:
y = u/v then dy/dx = (vdu/dx − u dv/dx)/ v^2)
First you need to identify ...

Solve the equation sin2x = tanx for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

sin2x = tanx Take everything to left hand side, so LHS equals 0sin2x - tanx = 0Recall double angle formula : sin2x = 2sinxcosx, also notice that tanx can be written as sinx/cosx givi...

A curve has equation y = 3x^3 - 7x + 10. Point A(-1, 14) lies on this curve. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point A.

Firstly, we define a tangent as a straight line touching a curve at 1 point only.We can describe a straight line using this linear relation:y - y1 = m.(x - x1)We know a point on this...
