y=x^3-3x^2+2x+5 a)Write down the coordinates of P the point where the curve crosses the x-axis. b)Determine the equation of the tangent to the curve at P. c)Find the coordinates of Q, the point where this tangent meets the curve again.

a) P (0,5)b) y = 2x + 5c) Q (3,11)

Why is the gradient of a curve at a point the same as the gradient of the tangent if you can't use gradient formula on a curve?


Express '2x^2 + 8x + 30' in the form 'a(x+b)^2 + c'


a) Factorise: 2x^2-72, and hence b) find the y-intercept of the line with the equation: y=(2x^2-72)/(4x-24)
