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

A curve is mapped by the equation y = 3x^3 + ax^2 + bx, where a is a constant. The value of dy/dx at x = 2 is double that of dy/dx at x = 1. A turning point occurs when x = -1. Find the values of a and b.


If y=x^3+9x, find gradient of the tangent at (2,1).


How do I determine if a stationary point on a curve is the maximum or minimum?


3x^3 -2x^2-147x+98=(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d). Find a, b, c, d if a, b, c, d are positive integers
