Prove that 12 cos(30°) - 2 tan(60°) can be written as √k where k is an integer, state the value of k.

Conversion of trigonometric functions:

cos(30°) = √3 / 2

tan(60°) = √3

Computing equation with trigonometric substitutions:

12 cos(30°) - 2 tan(60°) = 12 (√3 / 2)...

differentiate the following to find the equation for the gradient of the curve in terms of x and y: 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 5xy + 7y = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y +5xdy/dx + 7dy/dx = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y = dy/dx(-5x - 7)

dy/dx = - (9x^2 + 8x +5y)/(5x + 7)
