Solve the simultaneous equations: 6x + 2y = -3, 4x - 3y = 11

(1)   6x + 2y = -3

(2)   4x - 3y = 11

Multiply by 3 so that the coefficients of y are the same

3 x (1)    18x + 6y = -9

3 x (2)    8x - 6y = 22

Add these 2 together to e...

Prove that sin(x)+sin(y)=2sin((x+y)/2)cos((x-y)/2)

We know that 1. sin(a+b) = sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)cos(a) and 2. sin(a-b) = sin(a)cos(b)-sin(b)cos(a) Add equations 1. and 2. sin(a+b)+sin(a-b) = 2sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)cos(a)-sin(b)cos(a) = 2sin(a)cos(b) Let x=a...

The points A and B have coordinates (3, 4) and (7, 6) respectively. The straight line l passes through A and is perpendicular to AB. Find an equation for l, giving your answer in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are integers.

For the line passing through A and B: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-6-4)/(7-3) = -5/2

For the perpendicular line: m = -1/(-5/2) = 2/5 

y - y1 = m*(x - x1)  >>  y - 4 = (2/5)*(x - 3)  >>...

Find the gradient of the tangent to the curve with the equation y = (3x^4 - 18)/x at the point where x = 3

y = (3x- 18)/x

The gradient of a tangent to a curve is equal to dy/dx 

However, we must simplify this equation before we can differentiate it;

y = 3x3 - 18/x =...

Find the difference between the areas of these 2 shapes to 2 decimal places. Rectangle (width 4cm length 2.5cm) Circle (diameter 2.4) use pi = 3.14

Rectangle:

Area = width x length

hence area = 4cm x 2.5cm

area = 10cm2 

Circle: 

Area = pi x radius2

Radiu...
