A tunnel has height, h, (in metres) given by h=14-x^2 where x is the horizontal distance from the centre of the tunnel. Find the cross sectional area of the tunnel. Also find the maximum height of a truck passing through the tunnel that is 4m wide.

Firstly, solve 0=14-x^2 to find the horisontal distance to the edges of the tunnel. x1=sqrt(14), x2= -sqrt(14).

Integrate h=14-x^2 between x1 and x2 28*sqrt(14) -(2(sqrt(14)^3))/3. This is the requ...

Express 3(x^2) - 12x + 5 in the form a(x - b)^2 - c.

Starting with a(x - b)^2 - c, if we expand the bracket we get:

a(x^2 - 2xb + b^2) -c

Since we need to end up with the coefficient on x^2 being 3 and in the expression above x^2 is only multi...

Write the complex number Z=1/2+sqrt(3)/2j both as a function involving cos & sin, and as a function involving an exponential.

|Z| = sqrt(1/2^2 + (sqrt(3)/2)^2) = 1 arg(Z) = arctan((sqrt(3)/2)/(1/2)) = pi/3 Z = cos(pi/3) + jsin(pi/3) Z = e^j(pi/3) Apologies for the use of sqrt(), I have no way yet of using the symbol on my laptop...

Let f(x) = 5x^4 + 6x^3 + 3, find dy/dx at x = 3

First we must differentiate the equation with respect to x. To differentiate you must multiply the coefficient (number in front) by the power of x, then subtract 1 from the power. So here we find dy/dx = ...
