There are two lines in the x-y plane. The points A(-2,5) and B(3,2) lie on line one (L1), C(-1,-2) and D(4,1) lie on line two (L2). Find whether the two lines intersect and the coordinates of the intersection if they do.

We first want to find the equations of the lines. The general equation of a line is: (y-y1)=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) are the coordinates of a point on the line and...

How to find the reciprocal of a graph, such as y=cos(x)?

To find the reciprocal of any graph, first consider the key points, in this case: (0,1), (90,0), (180,-1), (270,0) and (360,1). Since we are finding the reciprocal in the y-axis, we can find the reciproca...

Let f(x) = x * sin(2x). Find the area beneath the graph of y = f(x), bounded by the x-axis, the y-axis and the line x = π/2.

After short consideration, we see that we must integrate f(x) with respect to x, between 0 and π/2, using integration by parts. Taking the formula for integration by parts, we set u = x and dv/dx = sin(2x...

How to expand squared brackets?

Take, for example, the bracket (a+5)^2. The longer way to do it would be to write (a+5)^2 as (a+5)(a+5) and multiply out that way. However, there is a shorter way where all you have to do is square the fi...
