We need calculus to find out the properties complex curves that we cannot find with simple arithmetic as we would with linear graphs. Differentiation allows us to calculate the gradient of a curve at a sp...

This is a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx +c, where (t-1)=a 4=b . (t-5)=0 Therefore if there are no real roots, you get that b^2-4ac<0. (using the quadratic formula)

First plug in valu...

This is a good candidate for integration by parts because it is a product of two functions – ln(x) and x^3, and x^3 is easy to integrate. The definition for integration by parts is: integral(u dv/dx) d...

For both parts you have to remember some of the properties of powers. Rule 1: x^0 = 1. Rule 2: x^(-n) = 1/(x^n). Rule 3: x^(1/n) = n-th root of x. For part (i) we can use rule 1 to see that 200^0 = 0. For...

To be able to solve this, the equation needs to be integrated. To do this, increase the power by 1 and divide by the new power.

The equation below is equal to that given in the question

y = ...
