Find the coordinates of the turning point of the graph y=x^2 -x -12. Use it to sketch the graph on a set of x-y axis.

-Firstly we should check if the equation has the variables separated (x on one side and y on the other side of the equal sign), which they apear to are, therefore we can proceed to the next step. As it is...

solve 15x = 6x^3 + 8x^2

6x3 + 8x2 -15x = 0x(6x2 + 8x - 15) = 0x=06x2 + 8x - 15 = 0Quadratic formula ( can demonstrate in interview)x = 0 or x = 1.049 or x = -2.38

The function f has domain (-∞, 0) and is defines as f(x) = (x^2 + 2)/(x^2 + 5) (here ^ is used to represent a power). Show that f'(x) < 0. What is the range of f?

First notice that f(x) = u/v. So f'(x) =[ v(u') - u(v')]/v2 (the Quotient rule). After working it out, we find f'(x) = 6x/(x2 + 5)2 (the steps can be shown on the whiteboa...

Given that y = (1 + 3x^2)^(1/3) , use the chain rule to find dy/dx in terms of x.

Take u = 1+3x2 , this gives that y = u1/3 . By the chain rule we have that dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx. By differentiating y = u1/3 with respect to u giv...

find the second degree equation that passes through the points: (0,1) (2,2) (1,0)

first of all we have to recognise the general form of the equation, similar to the equation of a line but we just have to add one more term due to the fact that it is a second degree equation: y=ax2<...
