Solve 5x^2 = 10x + 4 , to 2 decimal places.

First rearrange to get 5x2 - 10x - 4 = 0 , by subtracting 10x and 4 from both sides of the equation. Here, we can use the quadratic formula which is x = -b+- sqrt(b2 -4ac) / 2a. In o...

How do you find dy/dx for a set of parametric equations?

Using the chain rule:If the parameter used is 't', differentiate each equation with respect to 't' so that you have answers for dy/dt, and dx/dt.From the chain rule it is known that: "dy/dx=dy/du * d...

expand and simplify x(3x-2)(x+1)

first expand the brackets (3x-2)(x+1) to get 3x2-2x+3x-2, then we can simplify this to get 3x2+x-2.Then multiply this by x to get the final answer: 3x3+x2-2x.
