Time, T, is measured in tenths of a second with respect to distance x, is given by T(x)= 5(36+(x^2))^(1/2)+4(20-x). Find the value of x which minimises the time taken, hence calculate the minimum time.

To solve this problem we first must look into the given formula for time (T). It is stated, in the question, that the time taken is dependent on distance x. From this we can infer that the following probl...

Find the equation to the tangent to the curve x=cos(2y+pi) at (0, pi/4)

Normally to find a tangent we want to work out dy/dx, but since this equation is x=something, it's much easier to work out dx/dy first, then we get dy/dx by doing 1/(dx/dy)=dy/dx.
By the chain rule, ...

Find the intersection coordinates of both axis with the function: f(x)=x^2-3x+4/3

Find the y1 coordinate, where x1 = 0, this is the intersection with y-axis. f(0)=4/3, therefore one intersection Py=[0,4/3]Find the x1,2 coordinates, where y = ...

Integrate the natural logarithm of x (ln x) with respect to x

In order to integrate ln x you have to use integration by parts, even though it appears there is only one term to be integrated. We get around this by instead writing it as (ln x)(1), where we treat the 1...
