Solve for 0 =< x =< 360 16/(cos(x+25)+1) = 10, give answers to 2 d.p.

Rearrange to get cos(x+25) = 0.6

Use inverse cosine to get (x+25) = -53.13... 53.13... 306.86... 413.13...

Isolate x to get x = -78.13... 28.13... 281.86... 388.13...

Apply the limits and round the answers to get x = 28.13 and 281.87

Find the coordinate of the stationary point on the curve y = 2x^2 + 4x - 5.


How do you find stationary points of an equation, eg. y=x^2+3x+2


The straight line with equation y = 3x – 7 does not cross or touch the curve with equation y = 2px^2 – 6px + 4p, where p is a constant. Show that 4p^2 – 20p + 9 < 0.


Find the set of values for which: x^2 - 3x - 18 > 0
