Integral of 1/(x^3 + 2x^2 -x - 2)

Factorise denominator using the factor theorem giving - 1/(x+1)(x+2)(x-1) Use partial fractions to turn this into an easier form to integrate giving - 1/3(x+2) + 1/6(x-1) - 1/2(x+...

A curve has the equation 2x^2 + xy - y^2 +18 = 0. (1) Find the coordinates of the points where the tangent to the curve is parallel to the x-axis.

Firstly notice that the coordinates of the points where the tangent to the curve is parallel to the x-axis are precisely the points where the rate of change of y with respect to x is not changing. That is...

Find the stationary point on the line of y = 6x - x^2 and state whether this point is a maximum or a minimum

This question requires differentiating the equation to find where its gradient is equal to zero. Differentation is done via a simple equation -->  if y = xn then dy/dx = nxn-1

A circle is given by the equation x^2+y^2-20x-24y+195=0. Draw this circle.

In order to answer this question, we must transform this equation for a circle into the general form of an equation of a circle; namely something like (x-a)2+(y-b)2=r2. On...
