X+2/5X = 63 or 63 = 140%

First we need to understand that the original price (X) has been increased by 40%. Hence, by 2/5 (40/100 = 40%) of its original value, in other words, 2/5X.

To find ...

So this function is the product of two functions of x, so we use the product rule to differentiate it. The rule states if y=uv, dy/dx=(du/dx)v+(dv/dx)u. In this function we assign u=(4x+1)³ and...

we have dy/dx = -x/y , so we treat the differentials as fractions and write y dy = -x dx. Now integrating the left side with respect to y and the right side with respect to x, we have y²/2 = -x...

When you differentiate a function which has only one parameter, like f(x), you are finding a new function, f'(x), which gives the gradient of your original function at every point. You'll probably remembe...

Firstly we will put this into a form equal to zero, by rearranging to get x³-2x²-5x+6 = 0. This is because in order to solve a polynomial we first need to set it equal to zero. We no...
