Turning point is when dy/dx = 0

if y= x² + 6x - 7

dy/dx = 2x + 6

at turning point: 2x + 6 = 0

therefore: 2x = - 6

x coordinate: x = - 3

substitute into...

In order to calculate this integral we must use the sustitution provided. x=2siny. Firtsly I will differentiate to find the dx component of the integral, so dx/dy=2cosy hence, dx=2cosydy. Now for the limi...

To find potential points of intersection between the line and the circle, we need to solve the equations simultaneously. So, we substitute y = x - 7 into the equation of the circle: (x + 2)² + ...

Because the value, x and its inverse, -1/x should multiply together to give -1. This is proof that two lines are perpendicular (or having the same magnitude of gradient but opposite signs +/- ).

Grouping is essentially factorisation, it's just the idea that ax + bx = (a+b)x, which we already know. But the difficulty is in recognising this relationship when x is more complicated, for example when ...
