It seems like f(x+2) should translate the graph y=f(x) 2 to the right, it is +2 inside the bracket after all? However, if we think of the translation as actually subbing in x+2 into the equation y=f(x), i...

4x/(x²-9)-2/(x+3) = 4x/((x+3)(x-3))-2/(x+3) = 4x/((x+3)(x-3))-2(x-3)/((x+3)(x-3)) = (4x-2(x-3))/((x+3)(x-3)) = (2x+6)/((x+3)(x-3) = (2(x+3))/((x+3)(x-3)) = 2/(x-3)

For x = 2, y = 16. Calculate the gradient of the curve at y = 2, dy/dx = 6x^2, dy/dx = 24. This is also the gradient of the tangent to the curve at x = 2. It is a rule that the products of the gradients o...

This question challenges a students skills with integration and trigonometry a very common question on Core 4 papers that can leave students struggling. First we use our knowledge that cosecy=1/siny and m...

First we need to find the intersection point(s) of L and C so set 6x-x²=16-2x and rearrange to get x²-8x+16=0 so (x-4)²=0.Repeated root so line is tangent to the curve at ...
