By plotting appropriate graphs, find x to the nearest integer if x^2+3=2-4x.

Plot the graphs y=x^2+3 and y=2-4x. The solution(s) are the point(s) of intersection. The graphs can be plotted by making a table of values; this is the best method for the quadratic curve. The straight l...

let line L have the equation 4y -3x =10, and line M passes through the points (5,-1) and (-1,8), find out if they are perpendicular, parallel, or neither

L:4y=3x+10 -> y=3/4 x + 10/3. M: y= mx+ c such that it passes through the points in question, then m=(-1-8)/(5-(-1))=-3/2. As the gradient of L is not a negative reciprocal of the gradient of M, nor is...

Find dy/dx for the following equation: f(x) = x^7 + 7x

Differentiation is used to calculate the rate of change. For example, if you have the speed of a car (velocity), and you want to find out the how the speed has changed over time (acceleration), you can di...
