In terms of particles, explain how resistance arises in metal conductors and why does this resistance increases with temperature.

Resistance is due to the collision of free electrons with the metal ions of the conductor. When the temperture increases, the metal ions have more energy and vibrate. This increases the frequency of colli...

The polynomial f(x) is define by f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4. Evaluate f(2).

f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4

f(2) = 3(2)^3 + 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 3(8) + 2(4) - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 24 + 8 - 16 +4

f(2) = 20

If y = 2/3 x^3 + x^2; a) What is dy/dx? b) Where are the turning points? c) What are the nature of the turning points?

a) By simple parametric differentiation of each term, dy/dx = 2x^2 + 2x b) The condition for a turning point is the gradient (dy/dx) at that point is zero. 0 = x(2x + 2) so either x=0 or 2x+2=0. Therefore...
