How do you differentiate y=sin(cos(x))?

To solve this question we will use the chain rule, as we can see that we have one function being applied to another, i.e sin is being applied to cos(x).

This means we are able to replace the origin...

Differentiate y=4x^2+3x+9

Use the rule of "bringing down the power" and then reducing the power by 1. Start with 4x^2. "Bring down" the 2 to make (4)(2)x^2, then reduce the power by 1 to make 8x. Now repeat thi...

a) Solve the following equation by completing the square: x^(2)+ 6x + 1= 0. b) Solve the following equation by factorisation: x^(2) - 4x - 5 = 0 c) Solve the following quadratic inequality: x^(2) - 4x - 5 < 0 (hint use your answer to part b)

a) x^(2) + 6x + 1 = 0 (x + 3)^(2) - 8 = 0 x = - 3 + sqrt(8) or x = - 3 - sqrt(8)

b) (x-5)(x+1) = 0 x = -1 or 5

c) using answer to part b: (x-5)(x+1) < 0 draw its graph then: -1<x<5<...

Two lines have equations r_1=(1,-1,2)+a(-1,3,4) and r_2=(c,-4,0)+b(0,3,2). If the lines intersect find c:

If the lines intersect the position vectors r_1 and r_2 must be equal at the point of intersection, so: (1,-1,2)+a(-1,3,4)=(c,-4,0)+b(0,3,2) which gives three equations for the three components: 1-a=c, -1...
