If z=4+i, what is 1/z? (in the form a+bi)

1/z =1/(4+i) Multiply both top and bottom by the complex conjugate, z* = 4 - i, 1/z = (4-i)/((4+i)(4-i)) = (4-i)/(16+4i-4i-i2) = (4-i)/17 ans: 4/17 - i/17

Find and describe the stationary points of the curve y = x^2 + 2x - 8


y=(6x^9 +x^8)/(2x^4), work out the value of d^2y/dx^2 when x=0.5


If y=(x^2)*(x-10), work out dy/dx


A curve has equation y = x^2 - 7x. P is a point on the curve, and the tangent to the curve at P has gradient 1. Work out the coordinates of P.
