log3 (9y + b) – log3 (2y – b) = 2, Find y in terms of b.

Use laws of logarithms to simplify.Log3((9y+b)/(2y-b)) = 2(9y+b)/(2y-b) = 32(9y+b) = 9(2y-b)9y+b = 18y-9bCollect terms.9y = 10by = 10b/9

How can I improve my mathematics


A curve has equation y = x^3 - 6x^2 - 15x. The curve has a stationary point M where x = -1. Find the x-coordinate of the other stationary point on the curve.


What is a derivative?


The equation of a curve is xy^2= x^2 +1. Find dx/dy in terms of x and y, and hence find the coordinates of the stationary points on the curve.
