The graph with equation y= x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 intersects the x axis at 1, find the other 2 points at which the graph intersects the x axis

the equation: x 3 - 6x 2 + 11x -6 Becasuse it intersects at the x axis, y=0 so we set the equation equal to 0. x 3 - 6x 2 + 11x -6 =0 we know it intersects the x axis at 1 and so (x-1) is a factor of that eq...

why does log a + log b = log (ab)

Let log a be some number A and log b be some number B now the natural log of something is the equivalent of saying a=e^A and b = e^B So a*b = e^A * e^B which by rules of indices = e^(A+B) Therefore log(ab) =...

The curve C has equation y = f(x) where f(x) = (4x + 1) / (x - 2) and x>2. Given that P is a point on C such that f'(x) = -1.

Firstly, in order to solve this problem we would need to differentiate f(x) to get f'(x). To differentiate this we would use the quotient rule. The quotient rule is that: dy/dx = (V.dU/dx - U.dX/dx) / V^2 wh...
