Find the gradient of the curve (x^3)-4(y^2)=12xy at the point P(-8,8)

First of all differentiate the equation of the curve implicitly, giving:

3x2-8y(dy/dx)=12y+12x(dy/dx)

=> (dy/dx)(12x+8y)=3x2-12y

=> dy/dx=(3x2-1...

An open-topped fish tank is to be made for an aquarium. It will have a square base, rectangular sides, and a volume of 60 m3. The base materials cost £15 per m2 and the sides £8 per m2. What should the height be to minimise costs?

Establish the areas of each of the five faces of the aquarium in terms of x and y, and then sum to obtain a function of the cost in x and y. Then identify that the volume also gives a function in x and y....

A straight line passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 3. Find the co-ordinates where the line crosses the x and y axes

m=3

y1=1

x1=2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=3(x-2)

y-1=3x-6

y=3x-5

at the x-axis, y=0. 

Sub in to find the x co-ordinate:

0=3x-5

x=5/3. Hence the c...
