The alkanes and the alkenes are examples of homologous series of compounds. Name 3 properties of a homologous series.

There are a range of answers you could give: Homologous series' are chemically similar or chemically the same or react in the same way. They contain the same functional group, the same general formula (e....

Explain why the equation tanx + cotx = 1 does not have real solutions.

First of all, we need to express tangent and cotangent in terms of sine and cosine using the identities: tanx = sinx / cosx and cotx = cosx / sinx. Substituting these expressions into the initial equation...

Differentiate the function y = (x^2)/(3x-1) with respect to x.

This requires use of the quotient rule: d/dx[f(x)/g(x)] = [g(x)f'(x) - g'(x)f(x)]/[g(x)^2]dy/dx = ([(3x-1)*2x] - 3x^2)/[(3x-1)^2],= (3x^2-2x)/[(3x-1)^2],=[x(3x-2)]/[(3x-1)^2]

A curve has equation y = x^3 - 3x^2 -24x + 5, find the x co-ordinates of the two stationary points of the curve and hence determine whether they are maximum or minimum points.

y = x3 - 3x2 - 24x + 5, First, calculate the derivative of y and find its roots when y = 0:dy/dx = 3x2 - 6x -24 = 0 -> x2 - 2x - 8 = 0 -> (x+2)(x-4) = 0Th...

Sphere A (mass m), moving with speed 3v, collides with sphere B (mass 2m) which is moving in the opposite direction with speed v. The two spheres then combine, calculate the resulting velocity of the combined spheres.

Sphere A has mass m and velocity +3v so its initial momentum is 3mv. Sphere B has mass 2m and velocity -v so its initial momentum is -2mv. Therefore we can say:3mv - 2mv = Mcvc, wher...
