A circle has the equation x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 10y - 115 = 0. Express the equation in the form (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = k, and find the centre and radius of the circle.

Rearrange the equation so that the x terms and y terms bracketed together, like so: (x^2 - 4x) + (y^2 + 10y) - 115 = 0. Complete the square on both sets of brackets, giving (x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 5)^2 - 25 ...

Find the indefinite integral of ( 32/(x^3) + bx) over x for some constant b.

To integrate (32/ x3 + bx) over x we can integrate each part separately. This is because addition of two integrals is the same as integrating the total of the elements. 

So we integrate ...

Find the set of values of k for which x^2 + 2x+11 = k(2x-1)

The discriminant for a quadratic polynomial of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is given by b^2 - 4ac. If the discriminant is strictly greater than 2, the quadratic has 2 real distinct roots, i.e 2 unique x-...

The line y=5-x intersects the curve y=x^2-3x+2 at the points P and Q. Find the (x,y) coordinates of P and Q.

Step 1: To find the points of intersection, we must find where the y and x values are equal. Therefore 5-x=x2-3x+2 where the y-values are equal.

Step 2: Rearrange the above into the quad...
