The differential of a function is defined by the expression: dy/dx = Lim(dx->0) of (f(x+dx)-f(x))/dx. For functions only involving powers of x, the differentioal can easily be calculated by timesing by...

Let eqn. 1 be: 3x + 2y - 1 = 0  & Let eqn. 2 be: 4x - 6y -10 = 0

Multiply eqn. 1 by a factor of 3, and add the two eqautions together. (This eliminates y from the equation)

This gives: 9...

M=3

y1=1

x1=2

y-y1=m(x=x1)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3x-6

y=3x-6

at the x axis, y=0.

With questions about projectiles, such as a ball travelling in the shape of a parabola through the air as in the above question, it is always good to split the problem into the horizontal and vertical com...
