A ball is thrown in the air. The height of the ball at time t is given by: h=5+4t-2t^2. What is its maximum height? At what time does the ball reach this height?

First, we find the derivative of h: dh/dt= 4-4t. To find the point(s) of interest, we solve dh/dt=0. This gives the answer t=1. In order to determine whether t=1 is a minimum point or maximum point we fin...

How do I know when to integrate using by parts or by substitution?

When integrating a function which can be defined as a combination of two functions, it can be difficult to tell whether or not to use by parts. We can spot when to use by parts if we look at the composite...

Using a suitable substitution, or otherwise, find the integral of [x/((7+2*(x^2))^2)].

The point of using a substitution when dealing with integrals is to reduce the problem from a very complicated integral to a simplistic one. How can we achieve this with our integral? Well, we know that w...

The polynomial f(x) is defined by f(x) = 18x^3 + 3x^2 + 28x + 12. Use the Factor Theorem to show that (3x+2) is a factor of f(x).

The factor theorem states that if (x+a) is a factor of f(x), then f(-a)=0. This basically means that if (x+a) is a factor of f(x), then when (x+a)=0, f(x)=0, i.e. when x=-a, f(-a)=0. Our (x+a) in this cas...

Use simultaneous equations to find the points where the following lines cross: 3x - y = 4 and x^2 + 7y = 5

The points where the lines cross are the points where the two equations equal each other. To do this we solve simultaneous equations. Call equations as follows:(a) 3x - y = 4(b) x2 + 7y = 5 Fir...
