There's a school in India where only 60% of students have internet access. What is the probability of choosing eight students randomly, five of whom have internet access? (Info: Each student's internet access (or lack of it) is independent from all others

Imagine a bag of balls. Each ball represents a student, and those with A on them are students with internet access, while balls without an A are those without internet access. We know from the question, when...

Given that y = 16x + x^(-1), find the two values of x for which dy/dx = 0

The first thing required is to find out what dy/dx is in terms of x. For this, we need to differentiate y with respect to x which be can so to each term of the polynomial. All you need to do is mutiply the t...

Using the trigonometric identity (sinx)^2 + (cosx)^2 = 1, show that (secx)^2 = (tanx)^2 + 1 is also a trigonometric identity.

We can divide by (cosx)^2 across the identity (sinx)^2 + (cosx)^2 = 1 (which can be derived from properties of the unit circle and a bit of Pythagoras’ theorem) to achieve [(sinx)^2 / (cosx)^2] + [(cosx)^2 /...
