You are given the function f(x)=x^3-x^2-7x+3, and that x=3 is a root of f(x)=0. Find the exact values of the other 2 roots. (6 marks)

First step is to realise that as x=3 is a root of f(x)=0, then we can use (x-3) as a factor of f(x). A really good method to use to find what (fx)/(x-3) gives is Synthetic Division. Using this method we t...

Integrate | x^7 (ln x)^2 dx ( | used in place of sigma throughout question)

Start the integration by parts process

|udv = uv - |vdu

  u = (ln x)2             dv = x7 dx

du = 2(ln x)/x dx         v = 1/8 x8

In a geometric series, the first and fourth terms are 2048 and 256 respectively. Calculate r, the common ratio of the terms. The sum of the first n terms is 4092. Calculate the value of n.

A geometric series S always follows the same pattern: S = a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 ... Here i've labelled the first term a, and the common ratio r. The next term in a geometric series is always the preceding ...

The quadratic equation (k+1)x^2+12x+(k-4)=0 has real roots. (a) Show that k^2-3k-40<=0. (b) Hence find the possible values of k.

(a) There is a quadratic equation which should e solved using the delta andthe roots formulas.

delta=a2-4ab

delta=144-4(k+1)(k-4)

delta=-4k2+12k+160
