using the substitution u=6-x^2 integrate (x^3)/(6-x^2)^1/2 with respect to x, between 1 and 2

First we calculate du/dx = -2x and rearrange to get dx as the subject, dx=du/(-2x). Now we change the limits of integration because we are now integrating with respect to u. So the bottom limit will be u(...

Solve the quadratic equation 2(x^2) + 3x + 1 = 0

There are two ways to solve this equation. In the first method, we can simplify the quadratic by observation into two linear equations multiplied together, giving us (2x + 1)(x + 1) = 0. We can then set e...

Sketch, on a pair of axes, the curve with equation y = 6 - |3x+4| , indicating the coordinates where the curve crosses the axes, then solve the equation x = 6 - |3x+4|

One helpful method for solving questions like these is to sketch the curve in stages. First begin with the straight line y=3x+4 (taking 3x+4 from within the modulus lines) crossing the x axis at -4/3 and ...
