Express (5-√ 8)(1+√ (2)) in the form a+b√2 , where a and b are integers

5 + 5√ 2 - √ 8 - √ 16    (Break up all terms in terms of square roots of 2)

5 + 5√ 2 - √ 8 - 4

5 + 5√ 2 - 2 √ 2 - 4 

1 + 3√2

Differentiate "sin(2x)"

Sinx differentiates to give cosx.

We then multiply this by the differential of "2x."

Which equals 2.

Our answer therefore is "2cos(2x)."

Find the area between the curves y = x^2 and y = 4x - x^2.

First, we need to draw a diagram, to understand the question more clearly. 
y = x^2 is a common curve, but to sketch y = 4x - x^2, we should factorise it, to find where it inersects...

Two particles A and B of mass 2kg and 3kg respectively are moving head on. A is moving at 5m/s and B is moving at 4m/s. After the collision, A rebounds at 4m/s. What is the speed of B and what direction is it moving in?

Using conservation of momentum, m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2, set m1 = 2kg, m2 = 3kg, u1 = 5m/s, u2 = -4m/s and v1 = -4m/s. Substitute these into the equation to get 25 + 3(-4) = 2*(-4) + 3*v2 10 - ...
