First make each fraction into an improper fraction so on the top of the first fraction it would be 3 + (2 x 4) = 3 + 8 = 11 therefore first fraction = 11/4 for the second fraction the top = 5 + (1 x 7) = ...

Use the rule of "bringing down the power" and then reducing the power by 1. Start with 4x^2. "Bring down" the 2 to make (4)(2)x^2, then reduce the power by 1 to make 8x. Now repeat thi...

a) x^(2) + 6x + 1 = 0 (x + 3)^(2) - 8 = 0 x = - 3 + sqrt(8) or x = - 3 - sqrt(8)

b) (x-5)(x+1) = 0 x = -1 or 5

c) using answer to part b: (x-5)(x+1) < 0 draw its graph then: -1<x<5<...

integrating a product of functions of x - integration by parts. integral of uv' = uv - integral of u'v. choice of u from LIATE - logs, inverse trig, algebra, trig, exponentials - choose u=x. u=x, v'=e^(-x...

If the lines intersect the position vectors r_1 and r_2 must be equal at the point of intersection, so: (1,-1,2)+a(-1,3,4)=(c,-4,0)+b(0,3,2) which gives three equations for the three components: 1-a=c, -1...
