(19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) can be expressed as A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x) where A and B are integers. Find A and B

First we can equate (19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) to A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x) which means:
(19x - 2)/((5 - x)(1 + 6x)) = A/(5-x) + B/(1+6x). Then we will turn the RHS into a single fraction:

(19x - 2...

solve the equation 4cos^2(x) -15sin(x) = 13

We first want to get every term in terms of the same variable, namely sin(x). to do so, we will use the identity sin^2(x) +cos^2(x) = 1 to get: 4(1-sin^2(x)) -15sin(x) -13 = 0. which we can then rewrite a...

The function f is defined for x > 0 by f (x) = x^1n x. Obtain an expression for f ′ (x).

By taking the natural log on both sides we can see that: ln(f(x)) = ln(x)^2 This is a more familiar expression that we know how to differentiate  LHS: f '(x)/f(x), RHS: 2*ln(x)/x By re...

Given that y = 8x + 2x^-1, find the 2 values for x for which dy/dx = 0

First differentiate y with respect to x, which gives you dy/dx = 8 - 2x^-2. This needs to equal zero so equate to zero. 8-2x^-2 = 0. You can then bring the 2x^-2 to the other side giving 2x^-2=8. Dividing...
