Solve, giving your answer to 3 s.f. : 2^(2x) - 6(2^(x) ) + 5 = 0

22x - 6(2x ) + 5 = 0let y = 2xy2 - 6y + 5 = 0(y-5)(y-1) = 0 y=5, y=12x = 5, therefore, x = log25 = 2.32 (3 s.f.)2x = 1, therefore, x = log21 = 0

What is the derivative of y = (3x-2)^1/2 ?


How to find the stationary point of y= x^2-108x^(1/2)+16 and determine the nature of the stationary point?


solve x^3+2x^2+x=0


Show that the equation 2sin^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 2cos(2x) + 3 can be written as 6sin^2(x)+3sin(x) - 5 = 0. Hence solve for 0 < x < 360 degrees. Giving your answers to 1.d.p.
