To be able to differentiate this we need to use the product rule as we want to differentiate two functions multiplied together. The product rule states that if y=uv, then : dy/dx= u dv/dx + v du/dx. Let u...

putting in the conditions: 18000 = 2000e^3k ..  ln(9) = 3k .. k=(1/3)ln(9)

Rearrange the equation so that the x terms and y terms bracketed together, like so: (x^2 - 4x) + (y^2 + 10y) - 115 = 0. Complete the square on both sets of brackets, giving (x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 5)^2 - 25 ...

To integrate (32/ x³ + bx) over x we can integrate each part separately. This is because addition of two integrals is the same as integrating the total of the elements. 

So we integrate ...

The discriminant for a quadratic polynomial of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is given by b^2 - 4ac. If the discriminant is strictly greater than 2, the quadratic has 2 real distinct roots, i.e 2 unique x-...
