dy/dx = (4 * 3)x^(3-1) + 2x^(2-1)*cos(x²)

         = 12x² + 2xcos(x²) 

If the lines are parallel then when the line AB is given in the form y=mx+c then the gradient m of AB is equal to that of the other line. Rearranging the equation for line AB gives y=-(5/3)x-1 so m=-(5/3)...

For this example it would be better to use a dummy variable (a variable just to help with solving the equation but isn't a part of the final answer). Let us say our dummy variable, t = 1+x^2. So, substitu...

This is a common question in C4 and the trick used to solve it is often used in sub-sections to full questions.

To solve it, we must simplify the expression in terms of cos(2x) using two trigonomet...

First we draw a picture, to visually see what the question is asking. A simple set of coordinate-axes and notches so we can accurately put our point P and Q, though being accurate isn't important it will ...
