(ii) Prove by induction that, for all positive integers n, f(n) = 3^(3n–2) + 2^(3n+1) is divisible by 19

Let P(n) represent the statement that 'f(n) is divisible by 19'. For the basis step, I prove that P(1) is true: f(1) = 33(1)-2+ 23(1)+1 = 19. 19 is divisible by 19 so P(1) is true. I...

How do you find stationary points of an equation, eg. y=x^2+3x+2

Stationary points of an equation are found where the gradient of the tangent at this point equals zero. A diagram can illustrate this. To find them differentiate the given equation (which gives the gradie...

Find the equation of the tangent to: y = X^2 + 3x + 2 at the point (2,12)

(1) Find the gradient using differentiation (2) If the gradient at (x1,y1) is m,y - y1 = m(x - x1)
(1) We differentiate the given equation:dy/dx = 2x + 3 <...

Given the equation 0=5x^2+3xy-y^3 find the value of dy/dx at the point (-2,2)

To answer this we will use implicit differentiation with respect to x. So start by differentiating each term. On the left hand side 0 differentiates to 0. On the right hand side 5x2 differentia...

Let f(x)=e^x sin(x^2). Find f'(x)

Since f(x) is a product of the two functions e^x and sin(x^2), we can use the product rule which states that if f(x)=g(x)h(x), then f'(x)=g'(x)h(x)+g(x)h'(x). Let g(x)=e^x and h(x)=sin(x^2). Since the dif...
