A Polynomial is defined as X^3-6X^2+11X-6. a)i Use the factor theorem to show that X-3 is a factor. ii Express as a linear and quadratic b)Find the first and second derivative c) Prove there is a maximum at y=0.385 to 3DP

a)i Factor Theorem states that if a polynomial has a factor of X-a, when a is substituted in, the polynomial = 0. Therefore substitute 3 into the polynomial, which then equals 0 ii Long Devision- Unsure h...

The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 60 cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. Calculate the area of the triangle.

We are given ratios of side lengths and the total perimeter. The perimeter of the triangle is simply the sum of the side lengths. Imagine that the sides are made up of "units": 3 times a unit + ...

Solve algebraically for a and b: 6a+b=16, 5a-2b=19

Multiply equation 1) by 2 : 12a+2b=32. There are alternate signs of b and so therefore add the equations together: 17a=51. Solve for a: a=3. Sub a into one of the equations to find b: 5*3-2b=19b=-2. The f...

Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the derivative of f(x)=sin(3x) at x=2π

First, we need to find the derivative f'(x) for all x, and then we will substitute x=2π into the function we find. To do this, we need to set up our limit:
f'(x) = lim [sin(3(x+h))-sin(3x)]/h as h-&...
