Solve the simultaneous equations, 5x + 2y = 20 , x + 4y= 13

(Equation 1) 5x + 2y = 20 (Equation 2) x + 4y= 13
As we know the values for x and y are the same in both equations, we can use them to find out the values for both, In order to do this we need to tak...

How would I solve x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0

The first step of solving this equation to find out what x is, is to factorise it.

This means grouping it into a set of double brackets which will take the form (x+a)(x+b)=0.

Factorise (x+3)(x-8)

(x+3)(x-8)

x*x= x^2

x*-8= -8x

3*x= 3x

3*-8= -24

=x^2 - 8x + 3x - 24

=x^2 - 5x - 24

How would I differentiate cos(2x)/x^1/2

So for this question you can use either the product rule or the quotient rule and I'll run through them both.First the quotient rule:The quotient rule says that if you have h(x)=f(x)/g(x)Then h'(x) = (f'(...

Solve the equation tanx/cosx = 1 for 0°<x<360°

Firstly we need to rearrange this equation so that it contains only one trigonometric function of x (i.e. tanx, cosx or sinx) which will make it much easier to solve.

We can do this in th...
