Solve the quadratic equation (x^2 + 6x = -2) by completing the square.

If we knew (x2 + 6x) to be the first two terms of a perfect square expression, but not the constant term that would follow, we can work it out. We would use the fact that the expression can be ...

Integrade the function f(x) = 1/(x^2 - 5x +6) with respect to x.

First, we need to factorise the denominator and therefore we use this formula: x1,2 =[ -b + sqrt(b2 -4 a c) ]/ (2a). You obtain two roots, x = 2 and x=3 and the integration is simpli...

Differentiate f(x)= 3y^2 + ln (x) + sin x

We have derivative rules. Some of them involve:If f(x)= (x)a=> f'(x)= a*xa-1If f(x)= ln x=> f'(x)= 1/xIf f(x)= sin x=> f'(x)=cos xTherefore, f(x)= 6y+1/x+cos x

Prove Wilson's Theorem, i.e. (p-1)! = -1 (mod p) for any prime number p.

Claim: For any prime p: (p-1)! = -1 (mod p)Proof: For p=2: 1! = 1 so the equality obviously holds. Therefore, we need to consider cases when p is odd.
Let's consider set: {1, ... , p-1}...
