The points A and B have position vectors 2i + 6j – k and 3i + 4j + k respectively. The line l passes through both A and B. Find a vector equation for the line l.

First you need to find the vector AB. This is equal to -OA+OB.

OA and OB are equal to the position vectors of A and B respectively so

 -OA+OB=  -2i - 6j + k + 3i + 4j + k = ...

Find the derivative of the following expression: y=x^3+2x^2+6x+5.

As the expression contains 4 separate terms that are added together, we can treat this as 4 separate differentiations. The general rule for differentiation for a general term bx^n is (bn)x(n-1...

y = 6x^2 + 8x + 2. Find dy/dx

y = 6x+ 8x + 2 

To find the first derivative of this equation, we must multiply the powers of x with the coefficient. Therefore, we do 2 times 6 (2 is the power and 6 is the ...
