To find the gradient of the tangent, we can differentiate to give dy/dx=3x^2+9. We can now put in x=2 to find the gradient at (2,1): 3(2)^2+9=21. Therefore the gradient is 21 at (2,1).

First bring all the x terms to one side by taking 5x from each side, this gives 2x-4=8. Now put all the number terms on the other side by adding 4 to each side, this gives 2x=12. We can now divide both si...

Name of country: Japan 

Japan has a population of 127 million and roughly 23% are over the age of 65 and this huge proportion can prove to be problematic. In general, the elderly require more expen...
