Why, in the bromination of phenols, do you not need an acid catalyst like you do in the bromination of benzene?

Benzene's delocalised π electrons means that it is not very nucleophilic and so cannot polarise a neutral molecule and produce the required electrophile. As a result it require a catalyst to form the elec...

Find the stationary points of the function z = 3x(x+y)3 - x3 + 24x

z = 3x(x+y)3 - x3 + 24xDifferentiating partially with respect to x and with respect to y:∂z/∂x = 3(x+y)3 + 9x(x+y)2 - 3x2 + 24∂z/∂y = 9x(x+y)2<...

Integrate cos^2A

Integrating sin^2A and cos^2A is a bit nasty so we can use double angle formula to make it a little simpler. cos2A = cos^2A - sin^2A = 2cos^2A - 1. We can rearrange to get cos^2A in nicer terms. cos^2A = ...

The rectangular hyperbola H has parametric equations: x = 4t, y = 4/t where t is not = 0. The points P and Q on this hyperbola have parameters t = 1/4 and t = 2 respectively. The line l passes through the origin O and is perpendicular to the line PQ.

This question asks us to find the cartesian equation of l.
First we must find the points P and Q. To do this we substitute t with 1/4 to find P and substitute t with 2 to find Q.Doing this we get the...
