A curve has the equation y=x^3+2x+15. Find dy/dx.

Here, we are asked to differentiate with respect to x. That is what dy/dx stands for. So, we are only concerned with the terms involving x; that is x^3 and 2x. To differentiate you need to time x (and its...

Find the value of x if the following is true: 3(x – 2) < 8 – 2x

So our first priority is to get all the Xs onto on side and add them together. But we cant do that just yet because of 3(x-2).

so lets move all X values to the left of the equation 3(x-2) + 2x <...

Express 1/(x(1-3x)) in partial fractions.

1/(x(1-3x))= A/x+ B/(1-3x) 1= A(1-3x) + B(1-3x)

when x=0    1=A

when x= 1/3     1=B/3 so B=3

1/(x(1-3x))= 1/x + 3/(1-3x)

Express 9^(3x+1) in the form 3^y, giving "y" in the form "ax+b" where "a" and "b" are constants.

9= 32 so 93x+1 = 32(3x+1) = 36x+2

y= 6x+2 where a=6 and b=2

Express (16x+78)/(2x^2+25x+63) as two fractions

Firstly factorise the denominator to get (2x+7)(x+9). Then make the fraction equal to the seperate fractions with constants.

E.g 16x+78/2x^2+25x+63=A/(2x+7)+B/(x+9). then multiply accross by the de...
