b is two thirds of c. 5a = 4c Work out the ratio a : b : c Give your answer in its simplest form where a, b and c are integers

a : c = 4 : 5 and b : c = 2 : 3 so getting a common value of 15 for B gives a : c = 12 : 15 and b : c = 10 : 15  we can now compare these ratios and get 12 : 10 : 15 this is not divisible by any common f...

Find the integral of 4sqrt(x) - 6/x^3.

The easiest way to do this is to break the integral up into it's separate parts. We have:integral of 4sqrt(x)andintegral of -6/x^3
Both of which have constants that can be taken out, i.e. 4 and 6, re...

Give the first and second derivative of the function f(x) = 5/x - 9x + 4

  1. Re-write f(x) as f(x) = 5x^(-1) - 9x + 42) Find first derivative as usual - multiply each term by it's power and subtract 1 from the power:f'(x) = (-1)(5x^(-2)) - (1)(9)Simplify to get f'(x) = -5/x^...

Solve the simultaneous equations: 5x + y = 21 and x - 3y = 9

x = 4.5y = -1.5To answer this question, first, rearrange the first equation to make y the subject: 5x + y = 21 --> y = 21 - 5xYou can now substitute this value of y into the second equation: x - 3(21 -...
