A curve is defined by the parametric equations; x=(t-1)^3, y=3t-8/(t^2), t~=0. Find dy/dx in terms of t.

dy/dx=(dy/dt)*(dt/dx); dy/dt=3+16t-3; dx/dt=3(t-1)2; dt/dx=1/3(t-1)2; dy/dx=(3+16t-3)/3(t-1)2

Integrate 4x^3 with respect to x


(a) By using a suitable trigonometrical identity, solve the equation tan(2x-π/6)^2 =11-sec(2x-π/6)giving all values of x in radians to two decimal places in the interval 0<=x <=π .


What is a radian?


Find the x co-ordinates of the stationary points of the graph with equation y = cos(x)7e^(x). Give your answer in the form x = a +/- bn where a/b are numbers to be found, and n is the set of integers.
