Express √75 in the form of n√3 , where n is an integer. Using this information, solve the following equation: x√48 = √75 + 3√3 (4 marks)

√75 = 5√3, therefore 

x√48 = √75 + 3√3

x√48 = 5√3 + 3√3

x(√16 x √3) = 5√3 + 3√3

4x√3 = 5√3 + 3√3

4x√3 = (5 + 3)√3

4x√3 = 8√3

x√3 = 2√3

x = 2

Differentiate and factorise y = x^2(3x + 1)

Product rule:      dy/dx = uv' + u'v dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) + x^2(3) dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) +3x^2 dy/dx = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 dy/dx = 9x^2 + 2x dy/dx = x(9x + 2)

Given that y = x^4 tan(2x), find dy/dx

Here we have a product of two functions - they are being multiplied together - so we need to use the product rule. The product rule is: if y = u·v, dy/dx = v·u' + u·v' (where f' stands for df/dx). u = x^4...

Find the first four terms in the binomial expansion of (2 + x) ^5

Firstly we must take the 2 out of the bracket, as a binomial expansion must have a coefficent of 1

(2 + x)  = 2(1 + 0.5x) 5

Then, it is a good idea to qu...
