f (x) = (x^2 + 4)(x^2 + 8x + 25). Find the roots of f (x) = 0

firstly, x2 + 4 = 0 x2 = -4 x = 2i x = -2iSecondly, x2 + 8x + 25 = 0 using the quadratic formulae: x = (-b +- sqrt(b2 - 4ac))/2a x = (-8+-sqrt(64-100))/2 x = -8/2 +- sqrt(-36)/2 x = -4 + 3i x = -4 - 3i

For the curve y = 2x^2+4x+5, find the co-ordinates of the stationary point and determine whether it is a minimum or maximum point.


You are given that n is a positive integer. By expressing (x^2n)-1 as a product of factors, prove that (2^2n)-1 is divisible by 3.


y=4x/(x^2+5)


Show by induction that sum_n(r*3^(r-1))=1/4+(3^n/4)*(2n-1) for n>0
