Calculate (7-i*sqrt(6))*(13+i*sqrt(6))

We expand the parentheses to get to the equation: 713-13isqrt(6)+7isqrt(6)-iisqrt(36) which after some further calculations equals to: 91-6isqrt(6)+sqrt(36) [We got...

The curve y = 2x^3 -ax^2 +8x+2 passes through the point B where x = 4. Given that B is a stationary point of the curve, find the value of the constant a.

y=2x3 - ax2 + 8x +2. If we are told that B is the stationary point of the curve, then it is at that point where the gradient of the curve is equal to 0. In order to find the gradient...

Solve the equation 7^(x+1) = 3^(x+2)

1st we will log both sides of the equation7(x+1) = 3(x+2) becomes log7(x+1) = log3(x+2)NEXT we will use the power law which is loga (x)k=k...
