3/5 of a number is 162. Work out the number.

Something multiply 3/5 = 162Think of this something as a piece of cake. Now this cake has been equally sliced into 5 pieces. 3 pieces of the cake is worth 162 (let's give it a value, pound, dollar, or anything)Now, how do you calculate 1 piece of the cake? You dived 162 into these 3 pieces of cake, to find out the value of 1 piece of cake.Remember this cake was originally divided into 5 pieces. We want to know the value of the whole cake, which is the sum of 5 pieces. We now have the value of 1 piece, all we need to do is multiply it by 5.

What is (5+3i)*(3+5i)


Chris claims that, “for any given value of x , the gradient of the curve y=2x^3 +6x^2 - 12x +3 is always greater than the gradient of the curve y=1+60x−6x^2” . Show that Chris is wrong by finding all the values of x for which his claim is not true.


Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx of: 2(x^2)y + 2x + 4y - cos((pi)y) = 17
