f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find f'(x) and f''(x).

With differentitaion you multiply the fatcor it's raised by and minus one from the order

e.g. y = x^n so y' = nx^(n-1)

So f'(x) = 3x^2 + 6x and f''(x) = 6x + 6

What is the equation of the tangent to the circle (x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=9 at the points of intersection of the circle with the line 2x-y-1=0

Teh points of intersection can be found by subbing in y=2x-1 to the equation of the circle. (x-5)2+(2x-1-3)2=5x2-26x+33=9 so we have 5x2-26x+24=0. Solving the q...

A line runs between point A(5,9) and B(11,1). Find the equation of the line. Point C lies on the line between A and B. The line with equation 2y=3x+12 also crosses through point C. Find the x coordinate of Point C.

For the first part it would be a good idea to sketch out the graph. Then using the formula 'change in y/change in x' find the gradient of the line (-4/3). You can then either use the formula y=mx+c and pu...
