Let f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 - 5x + c. Given that f(1) = 0 find the values of c.

In order to solve this question we simply must substitute x=1 into f(x). But what is f(x)? What does it actually mean to make a subsitution? f(x) has a fancy name attached to it called a funct...

Find the tangent and normal to the curve y=(4-x)(x+2) at the point (2, 8)

-Tangent is a straight line that touches, but does not intersect, the curve at the point (2,8).

We need to find the gradient of the curve at the point (2, 8). To do this, expand the equation, diffe...

A curve C is defined by the parametric equations x=(4-e^(2-6t))/4 , y=e^(3t)/(3t), t doesnt = 0. Find the exact value of dy/dx at the point on C where t=2/3 .

To solve this we must use the chain rule which is dy/dt * dt/dx. Firstly, we differentiate dy/dt. For this we must use the quotient rule, this gives us dy/dt=(9te^3t - 3e^3t)/9t^2. Now for dx/dt, by subst...
