Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines y = 5x - 2 and x + 3y = 8.

  1. substitute y=5x-2 into second equation --> x + 3(5x- 2)= 8// 2) factorise and simplify to get 16x=14 3) divide 14 by 16 to calculate the value of x to be 7/8 4) sub value of x into equation 1 to find the value of y to be 19/8 5) write down final answer as (7/8, 19/8)

Differentiate 5x^2 + 11x + 5 with respect to x


Sketch the curve y = (x^2 - 9)(x - 2)


Given the parametric equations x = t^2 and y = 2t -1 find dy/dx


A curve is defined for x>0 as y = 9 - 6x^2 - 12x^4 . a) Find dy/dx. b) Hence find the coordinates of any stationary points on the curve and classify them.
