x/(2x-3) + 4/(x+1) =1 [5 mark question]

We have 2 fractions we want to get rid off to make it easier, so what we do is multiply both sides by the things we want to get rid off.In this case we multiply both sides by (2x-3)(x+1)This gives us x(x+...

use the substitution u=2+ln(x) to show that int(e,1(ln(x)/x(2+ln(x)^2))dx)=p+ln(q) , where p and q are rational numbers.

So u=2+lnx, therefore du/dx=1/x , we can work out the new upper and new lower limit by substitute in e and 1 into 2+lnx , and we get 2+ln(e)=3 , 2+ln(1)=2Rearrange the differential we get dx=xdu , substit...

Solve the quadratic inequality: x^2 - 5x + 4 < 0

x2-5x+4 <0First we ignore the inequality and try to solve the equation x2-5x+4=0, which we do via factorising (x-4)(x-1)=0. x = 4 or x=1We draw the graph using our solution, going...

Solve the following simultaneous equations to find x and y.

2x2 - 2y = 282y - 4 = 12x
y - 2 = 6xy = 6x + 2
Substitute y = 6x + 2
2x2 - 2(6x + 2) = 282x2 - 12x - 4 = 282(x2 - 6x - 2) = 28x2 - 6x ...

Find two positive numbers whose sum is 100 and whose product is a maximum.

Call the two numbers x and y. The constraint is that x + y =100, and we need to maximise A=xy.
Rearrange the constraint to y = 100 - x, and substitute into the product equation.
A = x(100-x) = ...
