At the supermarket, Ben buys 5 apples and 3 pears, at a total cost of £3.70. Jenny buys 6 apples and 6 pears, costing £5.40. Construct two simultaneous equations to work out the price, in pence, of apples and pears.

Ben: 5 apples and 3 pears costing £3.70, therefore: 5a + 3p = 3.7. Jenny: 6 apples and 6 pears costing £5.40, therefore: 6a + 6p = 5.4. (1) 5a + 3p = 3.7, (2) 6a + 6p = 5.4. Multiply equation (1) by 2: 10...

A curve C has the following equation: x^3 + 3y - 4(x^3)*(y^3) a) Show that (1,1) lies on C b) Find dy/dx

a) Substituting the coordinate (1,1) into the left hand side of the equation for C we obtain: (1³) + 3*1 - 4(1³)(1³) = 1 + 3 - 4 = 0 = The right hand side of the equation,...

show that tan(x)/sec2(x) = (1/2)sin(2x)

tan(x)/sec²(x) Sec(x) = 1/cos(x), therefore 1/sec(x) = cos(x). also tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x).using substitution, tan(x)/sec²(x) = (sin(x)/cos(x)) * cos²(x) = sin(x)cos(x). s...
