The curve C is paramterised by the equations: x = 5t + 3 ; y = 2 / t ; t > 0 Find y in terms of x and hence find dy/dx

x = 5t + 3 -> x - 3 = 5t -> (x - 3) / 5 = t
y = 2 / t -> y = 2 / ((x - 3) / 5) -> y = 10 / (x - 3) dy/dx = d/dx (10 / (x - 3)) -> dy/dx= -10 (x - 3)^-2

What is a logarithm?

Given that y = x^4 tan(2x), find dy/dx

p(x)=2x^3 + 7x^2 + 2x - 3. (a) Use the factor theorem to prove that x + 3 is a factor of p(x). (b) Simplify the expression (2x^3 + 7x^2 + 2x - 3)/(4x^2-1), x!= +- 0.5
