A circle with equation x^2+y^2-2x+8y-40=0. Find the circle centre and the radius

2g=-2, -g=1. 2f=-8, -f=4. cc(-2,4). r=√(g^2+f^2-c)=√(4+16+40)=√80=4√5

Integrate ∫x^4+5x^3+sin(2x) dx

∫x^4+5x^3+sin(2x) dx So a basic rule for x functions is that 1. Add 1 to the power 2. divide by the new power. So lets do this for the 2 x terms 1/5x^5+5/4x^4 Now lets look at the sin(2x). A general r...

What is the amplitude and period of y=3sin(5x)?

Amplitude of a periodic function is the maximum height it reaches above the centre line (or the lowest). This expressed in the equation as '3'. If the 3 was not there, then the sin wave would have an ampl...

A curve is defined by the parametric equations x=t^2/2 +1, y=4/t -1. Find the gradient of the curve when t =2.

Firstly we would differentiate each equation with respect to t to find dx/dt and dy/dt- which gives us dx/dt=t and dy/dt=-4t^-2. Once you have found these you must divide dy/dt by dx/dt (or dy/dt x dt/dx)...

The Curve, C, has equation: x^2 - 3xy - 4y^2 +64 =0 Find dy/dx in terms of x and y. [Taken from Edexcel C4 2015 Q6a]

The question asks us to find dy/dx, in terms of x and y. Here though it is not in the form of y=f(x), but a mixed form, which we will not be able to separate out. We will have to use Implicit differentiat...
