write showing all working the following algebraic expression as a single fraction in its simplest form: 4-[(x+3)/ ((x^2 +5x +6)/(x-2))]

4-[(x+3)*((x-2)/(x^2 +5x +6))]

4-[(x+3)(x-2)/(x^2 +5x +6))]

factorise denominator 

4-[(x+3)(x-2)/(x+3)(x+2)]

Given y=x^3-x^2+6x-1, use diffferentiation to find the gradient of the normal at (1,5).

dy/dx = 3x^2-2x+6

At (1,5), dy/dx = 7. 7 is the gradient of the tangent, therefore the gradient of the normal at (1,5) is -1/7.
