The line AB has equation 5x+3y+3=0. The line AB is parallel to the line with equation y=mx+7 . Find the value of m.

Rearrange first equation to show y=-5/3x-1

lines are parallel therefore gradient is the same

m=-5/3

Solve the differential equation : dy/dx - x^3 -5x = 0


A circle has equation: (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16. It intersects the y-axis (y > 0) at point P and the x-axis (x < 0) at point Q. Find the equation of the line connecting P and Q and of the line perpendicular to PQ passing through the circle's centre.


Factorise x^3+3x^2-x-3


Sketch the curve y = (2x-1)/(x+1) stating the equations of any asymptotes and coordinates of the intersection with the axis. As an extension, what standard transformations from C1 could you use on y=1/x to get this curve?
