The product rule states that y=uv and dy/dx=(u)dv/dx + (v)du/dx. As the equation is in this form we can let u=2x and v=sinx. Therefore du/dx=2 and dv/dx=cosx. Substituting for u and v we get dy/dx=(2x)(co...

f(-1) = (-1)^3 - (-1)*7 - 6 = -1 + 7 - 6 = 0

Hence f(x) = (x+1)(x^2 + ax - 6)

Expand this out

f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 - 6x + x^2 + ax - 6 

      = x^3 + (a+1)x^2 + (a-6)x -6

Mathematical induction is a type of direct proof, where you can prove sequences or series. A good example of this is that we can prove 1 + 3 + 5 + .... + (2n-1) = n^2. There are 4 steps: 1. Prove the firs...

Find the value of x in (4⁵⋅x+32²)⋅2⁵=2¹⁶⋅x

First we transform everything into powers of 2 as all the numbers involved in...

 You should use the mode if the data is qualitative (colour etc.) or if quantitative (numbers) with a clearly defined mode (or bi-modal). It is not much use if the distribution is fairly even. Median You ...
