f(x)=(12x^2)(e^2x) - 14, so using the chain rule f'(x)=(24x)(e^2x) + (12x^2)(2e^2x).To find the turning points set f'(x)=0, so (24x)(e^2x) + (24x^2)(e^2x) = 0. Thus (24xe^2x)(1+x)=0. Thus x=0 or x=-1.

To rationalise a surd means to manipulate a fraction involving terms which are being square rooted so that no term in the denominator is being square rooted. For this example 2/root(x) we multiply the fra...

(x + 2)²+3

Let's remember what applying a modulus to any number actually does. Applying the modulus to a number just gives us back the positive version of that number- if it is positive, we get back itself, and if i...

(1) 4x² + y² - 25 = 0 (2) y - 2x - 1 = 0
Rearranging (2) into an equation of y in terms of x we have:y = 2x +1
now substituting into equation (1) 4x² + (2x +1)...
