Solve the equation sin2x = tanx for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

sin2x = tanx Take everything to left hand side, so LHS equals 0sin2x - tanx = 0Recall double angle formula : sin2x = 2sinxcosx, also notice that tanx can be written as sinx/cosx givi...

A curve has equation y = 3x^3 - 7x + 10. Point A(-1, 14) lies on this curve. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point A.

Firstly, we define a tangent as a straight line touching a curve at 1 point only.We can describe a straight line using this linear relation:y - y1 = m.(x - x1)We know a point on this...

I am struggling to solve algebra equations. I was given the following equation to solve at school and am unsure how to approach it : 4(x + 3) = 2x + 8

4(x + 3) = 2x + 8The first step in solving this equation is to expand the brackets on the left hand side. A bracket means that the contents of the bracket should be multiplied by whatever is outside of th...

Algebra e.g. 2x + 14 = 18. what is x?

2x + 14 = 18Whatever you do on one side, e.g. LHS, you do the same on the RHS.-14 from both sides 2x + 14 (-14) = 18 (-14)2x = 4To get x by itself you need to divide it by 2. so you divide LHS and RHS by ...
