Solve simultaneously 2x + 3y = 18 and y = 3x – 5 to find the value of x and y.

sub the y value into the first eqn 2x + 3(3x-5) = 18 expand the brackets 2x +9x-15 = 18 add up the x values 11x -15 = 18 a...

Given that x = cot y, show that dy/dx = -1/(1+x^2)

  1. Identify that we are looking at dy/dx, not dx/dy and realise the relationship that dy/dx=1/(dx/dy)2)Try find dx/dy;cot = 1/tan or (tan)-1Hence, x=(tan y )-1 implying dx/dy = (-...

Work out the gradient of the tangent to the curve (y=x^2-x-2) at the point where x=2

y=x^2-x-2y=(x+1)(x-2)The gradient (dy/dx) measures the rate of the change in y with respect to x. So this can be used to help us find the gradient of a function at any point along it. The question asks th...
