So we have y = 0 and therefore x² - 6x - 16 =0 

This is then factorised to (x+2)(x-8) = 0 and therefore we have x = -2, x = -8

To find the gradient we need to find dy/dx

So...

For the most part, this comes down to practice. The insight in seeing which identity gives you the most efficient path to the solution comes with experience, however a little trick I like to use (silly as...

NB.: Treat all log as log2 for purpose of formatting log(x) - log(z) = log(x/z) alog(b) = log(b^a) log((11y - 3)/3) - log(y^2) = 1 log((11y - 3)/3y^2) = 1 11y - 3 / 3y^2 = 2^1 11y - 3 = 6y^2 6y^2 - 11y + ...

A basic function of integration states that: for a function f(x), the integral of f'(x)/f(x) = ln[f(x)] (the natural log of the modulus of f(x)). Take the denominator of f(x), x⁴+1. We will ref...
