If 4x = 9y, and 2x + 5y = 95. What is the value of y^2 - x?

This is a simultaneous equation problem.If 4x = 9y then 2x = 4.5y.Then by substitution, 4.5y + 5y = 95.Then 9.5y = 95 (divide by 9.5) gives y = 10.By using back substitution 2x = 4.5*10 = 45 (divide by 2 ...

(Core 3 level) Integrate the function f(x) = 2 -cos(3x) between the bounds 0, pi/3.

f(x) = 2 - cos(3x)integrate function x term2 -> 2x (raise power of x then divide by new power for polynomial functions of x) -cos(3x) -> -(1/3)(sin(3x)) (using a substitution of 3x = u, then cos(u) ...

How do I work out if two lines are parallel?

The gradients of the two lines must be the same. The gradient is m in the equation: y=mx+c For example: L1: y = 3x – 2L2: 3y – 9x + 5 = 0 First rearrange L2 so it is in the same form as L1 to get:3y=9x-5T...
