Find the set of values for x for which x^2 - 9x <= 36

Rearrange to get x^2 - 9x - 36 <= 0 Solve quadratic (x-12)(x+3) <= 0 Solve for x x = 12, x = -3

Now, we have key points 12 and -3, we need the range of values for x where x^2 - 9x - 36 &...

Why does d/dx (tan(x)) = sec^2(x)?

This result comes from using a trig identity and the quotient rule. First, we write tan(x) as sin(x)/cos(x). Then we apply the quotient rule. After doing the standard derivatives, the numerator of our fra...

Find dy/dx of the equation (x^3)*(y)+7x = y^3 + (2x)^2 +1 at point (1,1)

Use the product rule d(u.v)/dx = u.(dv/dx) + v(du/dx). Calculate the LHS as such first. (Demonstrate on whiteboard.) Then calculate the RHS. (Demonstrate on whiteboard.) Group the dy/dx terms on one side ...

Natasha has two bags of fruit. both bags have the same number of fruit in total. 1/3rd of the fruit in bag 1 are apples and 15% of the fruit in bag 2 are apples. There are 20 apples in bag 1, how many apples are in bag 2?

Using the fact that 1/3rd of the fruit in bag 1 are apples and there are 20 apples in total you can work out that there are 60 pieces of fruit in bag 1. This is found by doing 20 x 3 = 60.

Then usi...
