Find the gradient, length and midpoint of the line between (0,0) and (8,8).

let x1 = 0, y1 = 0 in (0,0) and let x2 = 8 and y2 = 8 in (8,8). To find the gradient, we would do (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) = 1. To find the length, we would do the square root of the following: (y2-y1)^2 + (y2-y...

The curve C has the equation y = 1/2x^3 - 9x^3/2 + 8/x + 30, find dy/dx. Show that point P(4, -8) lies on C

y = 1/2x^3 - 9x^3/2 + 8/x + 30y = 1/2x^3 - 9x^3/2 + 8x-1 + 30dy/dx = 3/2x^2 - 27/2x^1/2 - 8x^-2 + 0dy/dx = 3/2x^2 - 27/2x^1/2 - 8/x^2substitute x=4 into equation for yy = 1/2(4)^3 - 9(4)^3 + 8/4 +30y = 32...
