(a) Express 9x+11/(2x+3)(x-1) as partial fractions and (b) find the integral of 9x+11/(2x+3)(x-1) with respect to x

(a)  9x+11/(2x+3)(x-1) = A/2x+3 + B/x-1
      9x+11 = (x-1)A + (2x+3)B
      Setting x=1 gives B=4, setting x=-3/2 gives A=1
      so the final answer is 1/(2x+3) + 4/(x-1)
 

(b) 1/2ln|2x+3| + 4ln|x-1| + c

What is (5+3i)*(3+5i)


How do I differentiate the trigonometric functions sin(x) and cos(x) ?


The line L1 has vector equation,  L1 = (  6, 1 ,-1  ) + λ ( 2, 1, 0). The line L2 passes through the points (2, 3, −1) and (4, −1, 1). i) find vector equation of L2 ii)show L2 and L1 are perpendicular.


The curve C has equation y = f(x) where f(x) = (4x + 1) / (x - 2) and x>2. Given that P is a point on C such that f'(x) = -1.
