Using the binomial theorem, find the coefficient of x^4*y^5 in (x-2y)^9.

The term containing x4y5 will be C(9, 5)x4(-2y)5 = (9!/(5!4!))x4(-2)5y5The coefficient of which will be 126-32=-4032

The equation kx^2 + 4x + (5 – k) = 0, where k is a constant, has 2 different real solutions for x. Show that k satisfies k^2-5k+4>0.


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


a typical question would be a setof parametric equations y(t) and x(t), asking you to find dy/dx and then the tangent/normal to the curve at a certain point (ie t = 2)


Differentiate y = (3x^3+2x+7)/x^(1/2)
