Express 1/(1+2x)(1-x) in partial fractions

1/(1+2x)(1-x)=(A/(1+2x))+(B/(1-x))1=A(1-x)+B(1+2x) Now set the bracket of one of A or B equal to 0 to get an equation with 1 unknown.Set x=11=A(1-1)+B(1+2(1))1=A(0)+B(3)1=3BB=1/3Set x=-(1/2)1=A(1-(-1/2))+...

How do you find a turning point of a function using differentiation?

To find the location of turning points on a function, find the first derivative of the function, and then set the result to 0. if you then solve this equation, you will find the locations of the turning p...

A particle A of mass 0.1kg is moving at a speed of 1.5m/s to the right. It collides with a particle B of mass 0.3kg moving at a speed of 1.1m/s to the right. Calculate change in momentum of particle A if particle B has a speed of 1.4m/s after collision.

Momentum is conserved during the collision.Momentum = mass x velocityMomentum before = momentum after(mv)P1 + (mv)Q1 = (mv)P2 + (mv)Q2(0.1 x 1.5) + (0.3 x 1.1) ...

What is the area under the graph of (x^2)*sin(x) between 0 and pi

To solve this integral you need to use integration by parts twice. You separate the two term in the integral into x^2 and sin(x). You then multiple x^2 by the integral of sin(x) (-cos(x)) and apply the up...

A curve has parametric equations x = 1- cos(t), y = sin(t)sin(2t). Find dy/dx.

Here we have x(t) and y(t) which are both functions of t, but we want dy/dx, which doesn't involve t, we therefore need to use the chain rule. The chain rule tells us that: dy/dx = (dy/dt) x (dt/dx).y = s...
