Find the integral between 1 and -2 for (4-x^2-3x^3)

= [4x - 1/3x 3 - 3/4x 4 ] 1 -2 = (4(1) - 1/3(1) 3 - 3/4(1) 4 ) - (4(-2) - 1/3(-2) 3 - 3/4(-2) 4 ) =(2 11/12) - (-8 + 8/3 - 12) =(2 11/12) - (-17 1/3) = 20 1 /4

2x + y = 12. P = xy^2. Show that P = 4x^3 - 48x^2 + 144x

We want to make P = xy^2 into something more complicated, which only has Xs, and no Ys. Firstly, you need to remember that when there are two equations, the question will almost definitely involve substituti...

What does it mean for a function to have one to one mapping?

One to one mapping means is that there's only one value you could insert into the function that would give you a certain output. f(x) = 2x+1 is an example of one to one mapping where 3, for example, is the o...

find dy/dx where y = a^x

First, we need to re-write it as e to the power something. The definition of log base e is that e^log(y) = y. We can put our expression into this equality too. So a^x = e^log(a^x), so we use log rules to bri...
