Express (5x + 3)/((2x - 3)(x + 2)) in partial fractions.

To start, we understand that partial fractions are used so that we can more easily integrate a function. When you add two fractions together, you consider both denominators and find the LCM ; partial fractions is working backwards from this and finding the denominators from a common multiple. The answer to the question is given as: (5x + 3)/((2x - 3)(x + 2)) = (3/(2x - 3)) + (1/(x + 2))

If a curve has equation y = (-8/3)x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x + 18, find the two x coordinates of the stationary points of this curve.


Can you prove to me why cos^2(X) + sin^2(X) = 1?


How to "study" A-level Maths, not just learn?


A curve has equation y=x^2 + (3k - 4)x + 13 and a line has equation y = 2x + k, where k is constant. Show that the x-coordinate of any point of intersection of the line and curve satisfies the equation: x^2 + 3(k - 2)x + 13 - k = 0
