Find the tangent to the curve y = x^2 + 3x + 2 that passes through the point (-1,0), sketch the curve and the tangent.

Differentiate to find dy/dx = 3x + 2;at point (-1,0) dy/dx = -1substitute in to y = mx + c, noting m = -1 and the line passes through (-1,0) yields c = -1y = -x - 1, simple to sketch this line.curve sketc...

Show that cosh(x+y) = cosh(x)cosh(y) + sinh(x)sinh(y)

RHS: cosh(x)cosh(y) + sinh(x)sinh(y) = 1/4(e^x + e^-x)(e^y + e^-y) + 1/4(e^x - e^-x)(e^y - e^-y) = 1/4(e^x.e^y + e^x.e^-y + e^-x.e^y + e^-x.e^-y + e^x.e^y - e^x.e^-y - e^-x.e^y + e^-x.e^-y) = 1/4(2e^x.e^y...
