g(x) = e^(x-1) + x - 6 Show that the equation g(x) = 0 can be written as x = ln(6 - x) + 1, where x<6

0 = ex-1+ x - 6 ex-1 = 6-x x-1 = ln (6-x) -> here we have taken the natural log of both sides, but it only shows on one side as the natural log of e is 1.x = ln (6-x) + 1Question taken from Edexcel 2013 C3 past paper, with my own adapted answer.

How do you differentiate y=cox(x)/sin(x)?


a) Find the indefinite integral of sec^2(3x) with respect to x. b) Using integration by parts, or otherwise, find the indefinite integral of x*sec^2(3x) with respect to x.


You are given the equation y=x^2. Determine whether or not the equation has any maximums or minimums and identify them (whether they are maximums or minimums).


What is the difference between differentiation and integration, and why do we need Calculus at all?
