A curve C is defined by the parametric equations x=(4-e^(2-6t))/4 , y=e^(3t)/(3t), t doesnt = 0. Find the exact value of dy/dx at the point on C where t=2/3 .

To solve this we must use the chain rule which is dy/dt * dt/dx. Firstly, we differentiate dy/dt. For this we must use the quotient rule, this gives us dy/dt=(9te^3t - 3e^3t)/9t^2. Now for dx/dt, by subst...

How do I solve a simultaneous equation like this: 2x-5y=3, 3x+2y=14 ?

Solving a simultaneous equation finds the point(s) where two lines on a graph intercept. Therefore, one way of solving the equations is to plot the two lines onto the same graph and find the coordinates o...

How do i solve two linear simultaneous equations 2x+y=7 & 3x-y=8 ?

To start with, try and spot whether or not two of the coeffecients (numbers next to the letters) are the same for either question (i.e. could be a 3x in one equation and a 3x in the other). This also work...
