How would I solve the equation 25^x = 5^(4x+1)?

You would have to rewrite 25 as 5^2 hence 25^x = (5^2)^x = 5^(2*x). Then 5^(2x) = 5^(4x+1) and therefore 2x = 4x + 1 hence 2x = -1 hence x = -1 / 2.

Prove the identity (4cos(2x))/(1+cos(2x)) = 4-2sec^2(x)

Write down the formulas involving cos2x and select the one which involves only cosine, this is because cosine (or derivations of it) is the only trigonometric function in this question. Substitute the chosen...

Solve the differential equation: dy/dx = 6x^2 + 4x + 9

dy/dx = 6x 2 + 4x + 9 dy = (6x 2 + 4x + 9) dx integrating gives: y= (6x 3 /3) + (4x 2 /2) + 9x + c y= 2x 3 + 2x 2 + 9x + c If given boundary conditions of y(0)=0 then 0 = 2(0) 3 + 2(0) 2 +9(0) +c therefore c...

Where does the quadratic formulae come from?

The general form of a quadratic equation is, ax 2 +bx + c = 0. If we divide all terms by a we get, x 2 +(b/a)x + c/a = 0. then by completing the square we get (x+(b/2a)) 2 + c/a - b 2 /4a 2 = 0 which rearang...
