Find the tangent to the equation y=x^2 -2x +4 when x=2

When X=2 Y=2^2-2(2)+4=4 So the coordinates are (2,4)Differentiate Y so dy/dx = 2x-2Tangent Gradient when x=2 is 2(2)-2=2 so m=2We need to find the y intercept to get out tangent equationso y=2x+c , we sub...

A scalene triangle ABC has side lengths AB=6cm, BC=4cm, and AC=x cm. The angle A, opposite BC, is 40 degrees and the angle B, opposite AC, is 50 degrees. State the sine rule and use it to find the value of x to 3 s.f.

The sine rule states that for any scalene triangle ABC the following equation holds: BC/sin(A) = AC/sin(B) = AB/sin(C).[Draw a diagram.] By drawing the triangle and substituting ...
