How do I determine the domain and range of a composite function, fg(x) ?

Firstly I would state the rule that for any composite function fg, its domain is always the domain of g. If the student would like to know why this is the case, I would simplify the expression fg(x) to f(...

The curve C has equation: (x-y)^2 = 6x +5y -4. Use Implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y. The point B with coordinates (4, 2) lies on C. The normal to C at B meets the x-axis at point A. Find the x-coordinate of A.

We start off by differentiating the equation implicitly which will give us:2(x-y) -2(x-y)dy/dx = 6 + 5dy/dxThen we rearrange to get dy/dx on it's own:dy/dx = (2x-2y-6)/(2x-2y+5)
For the second part o...

The gradient of a curve is given by dy/dx = 3 - x^2. The curve passes through the point (6,1). Find the equation of the curve.

Since we differentiate a function to find the gradient of a curve at any point, we need to reverse that to find the equation of the curve. We do this by integrating with respect to x:If you have a constan...

Points A and B have coordinates (–2, 1) and (3, 4) respectively. Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of AB and show that it may be written as 5x +3 y = 10.

Formula for a straight line y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the gradient substituting in the values given to find the gradient we get 4-1=m(3+2), therefore m= 3/5the midpoint of the two poi...
