How do I solve this inequality: x^2>2x ?

Solve the equation x2=2x (solve x2-2x=0 by factorisation). Sketch the graphs y=x2 and y=2x, using standard graph shapes. Look at the sketch to see for which values of x...

Differentiate with respect to X: x^2 + 2y^2+ 2xy = 2

Assuming the correct tools of differentiation have been taught, we can tackle each term seperately and then rearrange to have dy/dx as the subject.

Taking a look at the first term, x^2,  ...

y = x*(x-2)^-1/2. Prove dy\dx = (x-4)/2*(x-2)^3/2

Firstly, when approaching a differentiation question you need to work out what method you need to use to solve it. As you can see there are two terms multiplied by one another (the 'x' term and the '(x...

Using logarithms solve 8^(2x+1) = 24 (to 3dp)

Using the laws of logs you can see that if you log both sides of the equation you get: 

(2x+1)*log(8) = log(24) 

Dividing both sides of the equation by log(8) you get:
