Given the circumference x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 3, find the position of the center P and the value of the Radius. Then find the intercepts with the y axis and the tangent to the circumference at the positive y intercept.

Find center and radiusFrom completing the quadratic:
x^2 - 2x + 1 - 1 + y^2 = 3(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 4
hence, center P(1, 0) and radius R = sqrt(4) = 2

Find y if dy/dx = y² sec²(x), given that y(0) = 1

1/y² dy/dx = sec²(x)∫ 1/y² dy/dx dx = ∫ sec²(x) dx-1/y + C1 = tan(x) + C2y = -1/(tan(x) + A) where A = C2 - C1y(0) = -1/A so y(0) = 1 means A = -1. Finished!

Expand the brackets (3x^2 + 6x + 7)(x - 3)

To help the student understand how to expand the brackets I would start by splitting the equation to:3x2(x - 3) + 6x(x - 3) + 7(x - 3)I then would ask the student to expand these brackets to:3...

Find the gradient of 4(8x+2)^4 at X coordinate 2

To find a gradient at a given point, first we differentiate then we sub in the x coordinate of the point. To differentiate 4(8x+2)4 we must use the chain rule. First we let u=...

Find the possible values of x from the equation 3(x^2)+2x-4=2(x^2)+3x+8

Here we have an example of a quadratic equation in terms of x. Start by manipulating the equation until it is equal to 0: subtract 2(x^2) from both sides to get (x^2)+2x-4=3x+8. Then subtract 3x from both...
