How would you use the following expression to approximate [(4-5x)/(1+2x)(2-x)] when x=5 (A2 pure)

So I cant really answer this question over text however, the method would be using partial fractions to split the two fractions into two, then using a binomial expansion, but the indicies will be negative so you'd have to be careful how you expand. Then once you have expanded the fractions you would simply plug 5 into the polynomial formed and that would be the answer. This question would be specifically for A2

Differentiate with respect to x: y = ln(x^2+4*x+2).


Find where the graph of y=3x^2+7x-6 crosses the x axis


Using the addition formula for sin(x+y), find sin(3x) in terms of sin(x) and hence show that sin(10) is a root of the equation 8x^3 - 6x + 1


given that y = 1 when x = π, find y in terms of x for the differential equation, dy/dx = xycos(x)
