The straight line with equation y = 3x – 7 does not cross or touch the curve with equation y = 2px^2 – 6px + 4p, where p is a constant. Show that 4p^2 – 20p + 9 < 0.

The main piece of information this question gives us is that the two lines do not cross or touch. From this we can immediately see that we will need to use the discriminant of the quadratic formula b...

Let f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 - 5x + c. Given that f(1) = 0 find the values of c.

In order to solve this question we simply must substitute x=1 into f(x).

If we carry out this substitution we see that

f(1) = 2(1^3) + (1^3) -5(1) + c = 2(1) + (1) -5(1) + c = 2 + 1  - 5 + c...

sin(x)/(cos(x)+1) + cos(x)/(sin(x)+1) = 1

sin^2(x) + sin(x) + cos^2(x) + cos(x) = cos(x)sin(x) + cos(x) + sin(x) +1

(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) =1) Therefore;

1 +sin(x) + cos(x) = cos(x)sin(x) + sin(x) +cos(x) +1

Cancelling out on b...

Given y = x^3 + 4x + 1, find the value of dy/dx when x=3

To differentiate this equation, you must bring the power of each x term down to the front and reduce the power of x by 1, with constants disappearing:

dy/dx = 3x3-1 + (41)*x
