Curve C has equation x^2 - 3xy - 4y^2 + 64 = 0. a) find dy/dx in terms of x and y. b) find coordinates where dy/dx=0.

a) This is no standard differentiate question. You will need identify the fact that the equation contains both x and y terms and thus you will need to differentiate with respect to both. This involves ap...

Solve the simultaneous equations, make sure to show clear algebraic working: 3x + 5y = 14, 4x + 3y = 4

3x + 5y = 14 (times this entire equation by 3) --> 9x + 15y = 42 4x + 3y = 4 (times this entire equation by 5) --> 20x + 15y = 20Now both of the simultaneous equations have 15y, so you can subtract ...

Express cos(2x) in the form acos^2(x) + b, where a and b are constants.

we first remember the double angle formula, a really important formula. cos(2x) = cos2(x) - sin2(x).We know that sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, therefore, cos(2x) = cos...

Find the values of x and y for which dy/dx = 0 in y= x^3 - 4x^2 - 3x +2

dy/dx = 3x2 - 8x - 3
when dy/dx = 0 , 0 = 3x2 - 8x - 3
Factorise : 0= (3x + 1)(x - 3)
when 3x+1 =0 , x = -1/3when x-3=0 , x =3
so x = -1/3 , 3co-ordinates are : (...
