Write 16 × 8^2x as a power of 2 in terms of x

16 = 4² = (2²)² = 2⁴8 = 2³ , therefore 8^2x= 2^3(2x) = 2^6x2⁴ x 2^6x = 2^{4 + 6x}

Express the following in partial fractions: (x^2+4x+10)/(x+3)(x+4)(x+5)

(x^2+4x+10)/(x+3)(x+4)(x+1) = A/(x+3) + B/(x+4) + C/(x+1) [A(x+4)(x+1) + B(x+3)(x+1) + C(x+3)(x+4)]/(x+3)(x+4)(x+1) = (x^2+4x+10)/(x+3)(x+4)(x+1) [A(x+4)(x+1) + B(x+3)(x+1) + C(x+3)(x+4)] = (x^2+4x+10) A(...

Curve D has equation 3x^2+2xy-2y^2+4=0 Find the equation of the tangent at point (2,4) and give your answer in the form ax+by+c=0, were a,b and c are integers.

Differentiate the equationdy/dx=6x+2x(dy/dx)+2y-4y(dy/dx)Set this equal to zero and solve for dy/dx which gives:dy/dx=(2y+6x)/(4y-2x)For x=2 and y=4 dy/dx=5/3(y-y_o)=m(x-x_o)y-4=(5/3)(...
