f(x) = (4x + 1)/(x - 2) with x > 2. Find a value for 'x' such that f'(x) (first derivative of f(x) with respect to x) is equal to -1.

Re-write f(x) using indicies, so that the use of the product rule becomes more clear => f(x) = (4x + 1) *(x - 2)^-1 where ^ means 'raised to the power of' and * means 'multiplied by'.

What is a confidence interval?

Using the normal distribution, we can estimate a range of values which we expect to contain the mean. For example, if we take a sample of 30 students height, we can estimate the mean height of students in...

i) Simplify (2 * sqrt(7))^2 ii) Find the value of ((2 * sqrt(7))^2 + 8)/(3 + sqrt(7)) in the form m + n * sqrt(7) where n and m are integers.

i) (2sqrt(7))² = 2² sqrt(7)² = 4 * 7 = 28 (1 mark) ii) First of all substitute the answer from above. ((2 * sqrt(7))² + 8) / (3 + sqrt(7)) = (...

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = (5x+4)/(3x-8) at the point (2, -7).

Firstly, we need to find the gradient at this point on the curve as the tangent will have the same gradient. So to find the gradient of the curve or in other words, dy/dx, we differentiate the equation. T...
