Find the area bounded be the curve with the equation y = x^2, the line x = 1, the line x = -1, and the x-axis.

The answer is 2/3. This can either be obtained by performing a standard integration of y=x^2, using the power rule, between x = 1 and x = -1. Alternatively, integrate y = x^2 between x = 0 and x = 1, then do...

How do you sketch the curve y=(x^2 - 4)(x+3), marking on turning points and values at which it crosses the x axis

First, factorise the equation into y = (x+3)(x-2)(x+2), nothing that x 2 -4 is the difference of two squares so is easy to factorise. From the factorised equation, the points at which the curve crosses the x...

The point D has polar coordinates ( 6, 3π/4). Find the Cartesian coordinates of D.

We know that r= 6 and θ = 3π/4 as it is given in the question. We can then use the identities: x= rcosθ and y= rsinθ to find the x and y coordinates which are the Cartesian coordinates. So, x= rcosθ = 6cos(3...
