A curve has parametric equations x=2t, y=t^2. Find the Cartesian equation of the curve.

x=2t --> t= x/2 
y=t2 = (x/2)2

So the Cartesian equation is y=x2/4.

Given the equation 3x^2 + 4xy - y^2 + 12 = 0. Solve for dy/dx in terms of x and y.


complete the square of x^2 + 2x - 6


(a) Express (1+4*sqrt(7))/(5+2*sqrt(7)) in the form a+b*sqrt(7), where a and b are integers. (b) Then solve the equation x*(9*sqrt(5)-2*sqrt(45))=sqrt(80).


Given that y = cos(3x)cosec(5x), use the product rule to find dy/dx.
